Tragedy,
abuse, heartache and strife
Have been constant companions for most
of my life,
If there was real happiness, then I never knew
Until
I opened my eyes - and then there was you.
My days were all
filled with confusion and dread
I fought and I struggled with the
demons in my head,
I longed for a lover to share in all that I'd
do
One day I opened my eyes - and then there was you.I
cried and I pleaded with the sweet Lord above
To bless me just
once and introduce me to love.
I prayed for an Angel and for all
my dreams to come true
I opened my eyes - and then there was
you
I had waited and ached for some strong loving arms
And
someone to ease my pain and help me feel calm,
For these blessings
I wondered what I had to do
I just opened my eyes - and then there
was you.
I had never believed in those fairytale things
Hearts
and flowers and Valentines and lions with wings,
If there was true
romance then I never knew
Until I opened my eyes - and then there
was you.
Somehow my life changed and it spun me around
I
was given a chance to enjoy the love that I found,
I finally felt
happy and had pure love sweet and true
And all this is mine -
cause now there is you.
