I had too much road on my boots Too many miles in my chest I was smiling like a man can do When he’s tired but won’t confess I had my heart behind a door I kept my hands to myself I was doing fine, or so I said Till you looked at me and I felt Something move Something start Something reach For the dark It wasn’t thunder It wasn’t flame It was just your eyes Saying my name And the whole room knew Before we did There you are There you are The missing piece Of my beating heart There you are There you are Like a prayer I forgot But heaven still heard When your eyes hit mine I crossed some line I came home without moving at all There you are There you are And my soul Finally sat down I’d known the sound of almost love I’d known the weight of maybe I’d danced around the edge of things Too proud to say “come save me” I’d held my breath for years somehow Forgot what peace could be Then you stood there in that doorway light And the world let go of me Not a word Not a vow Just the way You saw me now You didn’t ask me To be anything more You didn’t knock You opened the door And every lonely road I knew Turned around and led to you There you are There you are The missing piece Of my beating heart There you are There you are Like a prayer I forgot But heaven still heard When your eyes hit mine I crossed some line I came home without moving at all There you are There you are And my soul Finally sat down I don’t need forever dressed in gold I don’t need the stars to spell it out I just need the way your fingers feel When the noise inside me quiets down If love is a river Let it carry us slow If love is a fire Let it burn us whole When your eyes hit mine There you are There you are The missing piece Of my beating heart There you are There you are Like a prayer I forgot But heaven still heard When your eyes hit mine I crossed some line I came home without moving at all There you are There you are And my soul Finally sat down My soul finally sat down My soul finally sat down There you are There you are My soul Finally sat down
