Lyrics Paul Carrack

Paul Carrack

The Reason Was You

It was early in the morning

I was in my car again

And another day was dawning

As the mist was rolling in

I was driving down the coastline

With no special place to go

I was looking for a reason

To keep driving down that road

The reason was you

The reason was you

You carried me through

The reason was you

I was headed nowhere special

Just away from all the old

I was feeling worn and tired

From my years out in the cold

And the radio was playing

All the songs from long ago

They reminded me all the good things

That we used to know

The reason was you

The reason was you

You carried me through

The reason was you

The reason was you

The reason was you

You carried me through

The reason was you

Time will wait for no-one

Soon enough it will pass me by

Even if I wonder

I won't ask the question why

With a trust in what I'm feeling

And a faith in God above

I'll take what I've been given

And I'll treasure it with love

The reason was you

The reason is you

You carried me through

The reason is you

The reason is you

The reason is you

You carried me through

The reason is you
