You may not believe me
But I will tell you anyway.
You took me out of my comfort zone
You let me be me.
For the first time in a long time.
You are the one that opened my eyes
You let me see the stars
In this dark lit Oklahoma sky.
You are the one that has got me
To right where I need to be.
So now let me take you somewhere
That you have never been.
You opened up my eyes
For the first time in my life.
You lead me into a world
And let the sparks ignite.
Tonight there’s fire in my eyes
As I look up at the sky.
Then I start to wonder
Where you have been
For all my life.
You sit me down and tell me
That everything will be all right.
I sit here and wonder
How we got to where we are now.
We sit on the fifty yard line
Of this old football field
And let our thoughts
Just drift away.
As I sit here on this old field
You turn to me and say
Let me take you to a world
Where no one has ever been.
Let me walk you slowly
Through this place
Where your dreams can come true
And the wounds your heart has sustained
Will stay glued shut for the rest of time.
You opened up my eyes
For the first time in my life.
You lead me into a world
And let the sparks ignite.
Tonight there’s fire in my eyes
As I look up at the sky.
Then I start to wonder
Where you have been
For all my life.
Let me take you to a place
Where the street lights shine
And a place where you’re all mine.
This place must be what they call heaven
Cause all of my wildest dreams
Are slowly starting to come true.
