Lyrics
WAKING UP TO YOU
I saw you on the highway, as I was driving in my car;
You always appeared to be the pretty woman from afar.
Then one day it happened, just as I made my pass.
You looked over at me, and I smiled through the tinted glass.
I guess it must have been when you smiled too,
That I started waking up,
Waking up to you.
The months went by, and so did we, almost every day;
I guess even traveling folks need some time to play.
Then one day I saw you, standing by the side of the road,
With that broken-down look in your eyes,
And a car that needed to be towed
Somewhere on that ride to repair, I got my first true clue,
That I was waking up,
Waking up to you.
On our very first date, I watched you through the candlelight;
We talked for hours and hours, long into the night.
My tell-tale heart was beating right in time with yours,
The stars took our souls on several celestial tours.
We danced into forever, but long before the night was through, I knew
That I was waking up,
Waking up to you.
Now, the wedding bells have faded, but our love goes on and on;
And I know we'll be together, long after our youth is gone.
Each and every morning, I know what I was born to do,
I was meant to spend my life waking up to you.
Waking up to you,
Waking up to you.
