Someone I know is staring at me And when I look into her eyes I see a girl that I used to be I hardly recognize 'cause in the space of a year I've watched the old me disappear All of the things I once held precious Just don't mean anything anymore 'cause suddenly You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I've never felt good with permanent things Now I don't want anything to change You can't imagine the joy you bring My life won't be the same And I'll be there when you call I'll pick you up if you should fall 'cause I have never felt such inspiration Nobody else ever gave me more because You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I watch you sleep in the still of the night You look so pretty when you dream So many people just go through life Holding back, they don't say what they mean But it's easy for me Since you came No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place
