* [Verse 1] I woke up this morning with a song in my chest The coffee tasted sweeter, I put on my best My shoes are shined, my heart is in tune Cause maybe you're out there, humming this tune [Verse 2] The paperboy whistled a tune I don’t know But somehow it sounded like hello The streetlights were smiling as they turned themselves down Like they knew you were somewhere, somewhere in town [Pre-Chorus] I don't know your name, or the way that you smile But I've been saving this dance for you all the while The world feels smaller when the band starts to play So if you're listening somewhere, don't be late Before I knew your name, I wrote you this song Before I held your hand, I knew where you belong If not today, then tomorrow will do I've got a lifetime of Sundays to spend with you[Chorus] [Verse 3] I bought a second ticket for a show next June In case you’re the kind who loves a ballroom tune I left an empty chair at my favorite cafe On the chance that you wander by that way [Pre-Chorus] I don't know your eyes, or the laugh that you keep But I've been dreaming your voice while I’m half asleep The radio plays nothing but chance and fate So if you’re out there dancing, please don’t make me wait Before I knew your name, I wrote you this song Before I held your hand, I knew where you belong If not today, then tomorrow will do I've got a lifetime of Sundays to spend with you[Chorus] **** The band will keep playing, the lights will go low And I’ll still be here waiting, in case you don’t know I’d walk through every street in every town Just to hear you say my name when you finally come around[Bridge] Before I knew your name, I wrote you this song Before I held your hand, I knew where you belong If not today, then tomorrow will do I've got a lifetime of Sundays to spend with you[Final Chorus] And when you find me, darling, we’ll know it’s true I was writing our story before I met you[Outro]
