I  guess you've heard
I  guess you know
 In time I might have told  you
 But I guess  I'm too slow
 It's overly romantic
 But I know  that it's real
 I hope you don't  mind
 If I say  what I feel
 It's like  I'm in somebody else's dream
 This could  not be happening to me
But  you were there
And  you were everything  I'd never  seen
 You  woke me up  from this long  and endless sleep
 I was alone
 I opened  my eyes  and you were there.
Don't  be alarmed,  no don't  be concerned.
 I don't want to change  things
 Leave them just  as they were.
 I mean nothing's really different
 It's me  who feel strange.
 I'm always lost for words  when
 Someone mentions  your name.
 I know  that I'll get over this for sure
 I'm not  the type who dreams there could be more.
But  you were there
And  you were everything  I'd never  seen
 You  woke me up  from this long  and endless sleep
 I was alone
 I opened  my eyes  and you were there.
Can  I take  your smile home with me,
---,--  hold
 or the magic in your hair?
The  rain has stopped,  the storm  has passed
 Look at all the colors  now the sun's  here at last.
 I suppose that you'll be leaving  but I  want you to know
 Part of you stays with  me even after  you go.
 Like an actor  playing someone else's scene
 This  could not be happening to me.
But  you were there
And  you were everything  I'd never  seen
 You  woke me up  from this long  and endless sleep
 I was alone
 I opened  my eyes  and I’m,
 I'm not alone,  no, I'm not alone.
 I opened  my eyes  and you were there.

In time I might have t[Am]old you
But I g[G7]uess I'm too s[C]low
It's overly ro[Am]mantic
But I k[G7]now that it's r[C]eal
I hope you do[Am]n't mind
If I s[G7]ay what I fe[C]el

It's li[F]ke I'm in somebody else's dr[G]ea[Gsus4]m     [G]
This co[F]uld not be happening to m[G]e [Gsus4]       [G]

[C]But you were th[Dm7]ere
[F/A]And you were e[F#]ver[Bb]yth[G/B]ing I'd ne[C]ver se[C9]en [C]
Y[Am]ou woke me [G7]up from this l[Dm7]ong and endless s[Em7]leep

[F]Can I ta[G]ke your smile home with m[C]e,[Csus4]      [C]
[F]        [G]            [Fm7]-[Gm7]-[C]-[C9],[C]-[Am]-[G7] hold
or the magic in your hair?

[C]The rain has sto[Am]pped, the st[G7]orm has pas[C]sed
Look at all the co[Am]lors now the s[G7]un's here at l[C]ast.
I suppose that you'll be le[Am]aving but [G7]I want you to k[C]now
Part of you stays w[Am]ith me even a[G7]fter you go.
Like an a[F]ctor playing someone else's sc[G]en[Gsus4]e     [G]
