Before I ever knew you
My life was a fallow field
Fenced away in loneliness
And almost bereft of love.
My sorrows were stony rubble
Left behind by years of woe
I looked at you in amazement
As your eyes caressed my soul.
And you uprooted the weeds,
Drove away the fearful silence
And you healed the ugly scars
Of the wounds of many years.
And you planted in my soul
Love and confidence again,
Your patient faith built within me
New foundations for new hope.
Your true love transformed me, I love you.
I want to sing to you, I love you.
Your true love transformed me, I love you.
I feel such happiness, with you.
And you erected new walls
To lift me up from the ground.
You taught me that one can live
Each day a bit closer to heaven.
Through the windows you installed
on my soul I could see clearly
A world transformed by the light
Of your eyes that looked on me.
I am yours; I want to give you
The loving warmth of my hearth
And to offer every day
Everything my soul can give.
Your faith and your strong will
Brought the light into my life.
The architect of my dreams,
You’re the builder of this love.
Your true love transformed me, I love you.
I want to sing to you, I love you.
Your true love transformed me, I love you.
I feel such happiness, with you.
