Woke up in Love

I met her on a Thursday night

At the bar up by the TV

We sat and talked and watched the Cowboys

Though they weren't either of our teams

I bravely asked you for your number

When I felt my heart give a tug

I went to bed the same lonesome old fool

But I woke up in love

I used to use the word “love” casually

I used to use it on things it could never be

Fleeting feelings that were gone by the end of the week

Till I woke up in love

A feeling in my mind but never my heart

A poetic device only used in the arts

But dreaming that night, I saw your face in the stars

And I woke up in love

I was taken aback

(Oh, my Lord)

Tell me, what could've that been?

A feeling like love that I didn't think I believed in

'Cause I've seen movies and I’ve heard songs

I've read poetry I quoted along

But not till I felt it did I know behind them words

Was a feeling quite as strong

I used to use the word “love” casually

I used to use it on things it could never be

Fleeting feelings that were gone by the end of the week

Till I woke up in love

A feeling in my mind but never my heart

A poetic device only used in the arts

But dreaming that night, I saw your face in the stars

And I woke up in love

But dreaming that night, I saw your face in the stars

And I woke up in love
