Then I Met You

The Proclaimers

Thought that I'd be happy

Gonna be so happy living life alone

And never sharing anything



Thought that I was finished,

Thought that I was complete

Thought that I was whole

Instead of being half of something

Thought that I was growing, growing older

Wiser, understanding why

This world hold nothing for my spirit

Thought that I was destined,

Destined to be nothing,

Destined to be nothing in this world

And then I met you.



I met you



Thought that God had failed me

Thought my prayers were useless

Thought that he would never give

The chance for me to praise him

Thought the book was written

Thought the game had ended

Thought the song was sung

And I could never sing another

Thought my faith was misplaced

Thought my back was broken



Broken by a weight that I

Was never fit to carry

Thought I knew this city,

Thought I knew all about it

And then one night I went to Morningside

And you were waiting

Then I met you.
