All these years have passed me by.
You smiled at me as you cried.
It never struck me like it has now,
that I'd been searching for your love
for so long.

Looking high and low.
From the sky to the ground.
The affection that you showed
flew by my heart at high speed.
But now the time has come,
when things aren't so muddled.
Don't know where you came from
but now I realize.

Like the lookout on the tower,
I check my watch hour by hour.
Peering out over the bridges
and patching up my old stitches.
It's just now that I've found
what I thought could never be.
With both feet on solid ground,
now I've measured pound for pound.
What you've got for me
isn't just a love story.
