I saw the light, the other night
It was you, you were in my sight.
I was blue, without you
There you were, it’s all true.
Walkin’ down the city street, smilin’ at everyone I meet.
You could see just how I felt, listen now, I couldn’t be beat.
I got time, now that you’re mine
It was you, I’m outta my mind.
Witness to each season going back & forth & back.
Looking for a reason to ignore what I did lack.
I never expected it to come out this way at all.
See what I do see.
I got time, now that you’re mine
It was you, made me lose my mind.
Feeling so good, knew that I would
You’re in my arms, as you should.

Skippin’ round the city block, faster and faster, there is no clock.
I don’t care what you say, nothin’ you do will make me stop.
I’ve been around, I’ve heard the sound
Of my heart beat, go pound and pound.
You are the one, the only one
To make my heart feel, second to none.
Witness to each season going back & forth & back.
Looking for a reason to ignore what I did lack.
I never expected it to come out this way at all.
See what I do see.
I saw the light, the other night
It was you, you were in my sight.
I was blue, without you
There you were, it’s all true.
