I Found Someone

Purple dress, gray hair, blue tailored suit

Wedding pictures on the walls of my grandparents' place

Sitting on the couch in my pyjamas

Laughing and talking, reminiscing

Oh, those were the days

And I hold on to the memories

'Cause I've never seen anything more beautiful

Old souls, young love

And I'll always remember

The look on her face

When my grandmamma said

I found someone

Who loves me for who I am and for what I'm not

I found the one I'd been waiting for

All through spring and summer rain

One autumn day he came

Thundering into my heart

I found someone

Who loves me for who I am

It was everything you've read about in fairy tales

And everything you've seen in Hollywood movies

Oh, imagine if she didn't buy the paper that day

And she never read that personal ad

About a man who was looking for love

A knock on the door

The flowers were red

They drove to his house

He carried her in

Said My home is your home

Don't know how

I just know

I can feel in my bones that

I found someone

Who loves me for who I am and for what I'm not

I found the one I'd been waiting for

All through spring and summer rain

One autumn day you came

Thundering into my heart

I found someone

Who loves me

These winter days cast shadows on the walls

And my memories glitter like dust in the sun

It's a sunny April morning

In a cold hospital room

She sits by his bed

And thinks to herself

I lost the one

Who loved me for who I am and for what I'm not

I lost the one I'd been waiting for

All through spring and summer rain

I curse the day he left

With thunder in the sky

He was the one

Who loved me for who I am
