Before you came along
I seemed not very strong;
Before you came along
Into my heart.
My life was cold,
My life was dark;
Was growing old,
I’d missed the mark.
Imagination was my friend;
Imagination, no real end.
Reality, it
Had no gift for me.
Suddenly you were there
And all was bright and fair.
Suddenly you were there
inside my heart!
And now each thing I do
Is alive because of you,
For now the light of you
Is in my heart!
I was alone,
Yet had no care;
I wasn’t going
Anywhere.
I lived in dreams
Of love that seems,
Though I hadn’t
Got a prayer.
Suddenly! You were there!
Dream’s clouds depart!
Suddenly you are here,
Inside my heart!
