I saw her standing in the sunlight and the morning bowed its head Like the day knew something fragile had just been softly said My heartbeat tripped without warning like a record starting late Every moment shaped its meaning into something close to fate (“ahh”) I felt the air grow warm around me like a promise yet to form And the quiet held the answer though the truth was barely born (“mmmm—yeah”) When the morning found my heart it learned a different way to beat Every color turned to memory dancing gentle at my feet She was more than just a moment she was something I became Like a story still unfinished trying hard to keep its name (“ahhh—when the morning found my heart”) Her smile moved quiet as the hillside when the wind decides to stay And the world grew soft around her like a hymn without a pray I felt the years fold into seconds every burden drifting free And I knew the day would hold her in the place she came to be (“oooh—oooh”) There was something in the stillness like a secret waking slow I followed where the moment led me hoping somehow she would know (“know—ohhh”) When the morning found my heart it painted truth in every line All the questions turned to comfort like the world could realign She was every silent answer I had never learned to speak Like a dream that finds its courage when the night begins to break [SOLO] (“ahhh—ahhh”) I felt the distance fall behind me like a coat I couldn’t keep And the moment grew to meaning far too tender, far too deep If forever starts in silence then it started in her eyes And the morning held the answer in a world I recognize (“recognize…”) When the morning found my heart it rewrote everything I knew Every heartbeat turned to wonder every hope was turning true She became the map I followed through the hours still to come As the world began its singing to the rhythm we’d become (“ahhh—rain of sunlight on my heart”) (“ahhh—oohhh”)
