before i saw your face it was done
you were always the one
before i knew your name it had begun

you were always the one

i follow your eyes as they're kissing mine
and it's there i want to fall asleep
the light begins to fall upon my crooked mind
you're the one i thought i'd never meet

and by the way i'd like to tell you
after all that i have done
i spent every moment looking for you
i cross the shadow and step into your sun

your faces leave their traces in the places where we meet
and all the places we will go
and it's never been so easy as i'm down on bended knee
a husband and a wife will know

and by the way i'd like to tell you
after all that i have done
i spent every moment looking for you
i cross the shadow and step into your sun

some things i recognize some things i don't
and some things i don't want to know
but hallelujah for the simple things your head upon my chest
without that there just is no hope

and by the way i'd like to tell you
after all that i have
i spent every moment looking for you
i cross the shadow and step into

and by the way i'd like to tell you
after all that i have
i spent every moment looking for you
i cross the shadow and step into your sun

tomorrow i will be the first to rise
and i'll place my hand upon your cheek
