I Was the One

I was the one who watched you sleeping

I was the one who lay by your side

I heard the rhythm of your breathing

I was the one who looked inside

All we were…. was like your dream

Nothing was quite as real as it seemed

This was the chance of your lifetime baby

I came as genuine as a pearl

How could you miss that here just maybe

was all that endures in this troubled world

(inst. refrain)

Because love is the only thing that matters

I didn’t fall in love by chance

Here was the feast upon the platter

You took it simply as happenstance

But I have a heart that’s ever beating

An eye that sees the waking day

Sadly I leave you to your dreaming

Looking ahead I walk away
