There You Were

I was counting down the minutes

I was wishin' on the stars

I was prayin' for a sign

And tryin' to beat the odds

I was dreamin' of you

Long before I saw your face

And there you were

Waitin' for that day

Then you reached through the hurricane

When you, baby, you called my name

You broke through the storm

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love keeps taking me higher

Just when all hope was gone

Where the hero belongs

There you were, there you were

Must have broken to Heaven

Just to roll back the clouds

Were you on a mission

Were you seekin' me out

Was I that one in a million

Was I that one sacred kiss

That you couldn't chance

You just couldn't miss

And you babe, you whispered

Through the silent tears

When you, you swept away all my fears

You broke through the storm

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love keeps taking me higher

Just when all hope was gone

Where the hero belongs

There you were, babe

Standin' in the middle of nowhere

With your arms wide open

And you, you were the reason

When there was no reason in my life

You're the reason in my life

You broke through the storm

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher

Just when all hope was gone

(Just when all hope was gone)

There you were babe

(Oh baby)

You broke through the storm

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

(Oh baby)

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher

Just when all hope was gone

Where the hero belongs

There you were

Like the light in the eye of the storm

Tellin' me not to cry anymore

(There you were)

Where I watched my whole world fall apart

Shinin' through like an angel from afar

(Oh, like an angel)

You broke through the storm

(Oh)

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher

Just when all hope was gone

(Oh oh oh baby)

There you were, babe

You broke through the storm

And you turned back the night

Baby, you are the fire

Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love keeps taking me higher
