I saw you beneath that corner light Same shy smile from another life It started with coffee after all that rain You laughed at my jacket and remembered my name We talked around years we were scared to touch Then both grew quiet from feeling too much The closer you smiled the clearer it came The old little spark had survived the flame I reached for your hand and you did the same I kept wondering where we would go Back when we were too young to know Now you are here and the answer is true I carried my heart to arrive with you What almost faded came back new I had a heart that was made for you We walked past the theater with the burned-out sign You asked if I kept that photograph of mine I had it folded beneath an old book You blushed and forgave every chance we mistook The closer you smiled the clearer it came The old little spark had survived the flame I reached for your hand and you did the same I kept wondering where we would go Back when we were too young to know Now you are here and the answer is true I carried my heart to arrive with you I used to think timing had closed its door But chance left a key by the place we ignored No part of that distance was wasted or wrong It taught me the patience to stand this strong So let yesterday rest where the streetlamps fade I want what we are not what doubt delayed I kept wondering where we would go Back when we were too young to know Now you are here and the answer is true I carried my heart to arrive with you The morning turned gold on the avenue And I walked into love still holding you
