Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Then I Met You

Thought that I'd be happy

Going to 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 held 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

I met you

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

I thought I knew this city

Thought I knew all about it

And then one night I went to Morningside and you were waiting

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

Thought that I'd be happy

Going to 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 held 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

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you

I met you
