Thank God I Met You

Born one summer to careless lovers
Who did the best they knew
Moved like gypsies
From city to city
And so my loneliness grew
So my loneliness grew

Twenty years later, double major
So much I thought I knew
At graduation I stood at the station
You were standing there too
You were standing there too

All these lives we leave too rushed
Well I just don't understand
And all the plans we lay so carefully are gone so fast

Black Chuck Taylors, tattooed like a sailor's
Stood out like a full moon
And I held breathless, at least ten seconds
You had me more than you knew
You had me more than you knew

All these lives we leave to rust
Well I just don't understand
And all the plans we lay so carefully are gone so fast

Nine months later, long hard labor
So much I'll never do
Born that summer to careless lovers
That's how I met you
That's how I met you
Thank God that I met you
