I used to write to be heard
Was never fond of the spoken word
I know it sounds absurd
But I was shy... and emotions stirred
Today, I leave my Past in the dust
Today, I've got friends who I trust
Today, I see the world with new eyes
But having you... was my biggest surprise
I used to feel pretty low
On the sidelines, just watching the show
I had my music, it's true
But the symphony in my heart was of you
Today, I leave my Past in the dust
Today, I've got friends who I trust
Today, I see the world with new eyes
And having you... was my biggest surprise
I hear the thunder
Of people talking, yea
And I wonder
If they see past themselves
Oh oh oh, Life is what we make of it
And darling, you've got to play for keeps, oh oh yea
I used to think I was wise
'Til you came, and opened my eyes
It's always Christmas with you
I just love everything that you do
Today
I leave my Past in the dust
Today
I've got friends who I trust
Today
I see the world with new eyes
And loving you... was my biggest surprise
Loving you was my biggest surprise
