BEFORE THERE WAS YOU

before there was you my heart was broken.
before there was you my heart sang no song.
before there was you my days were full of sorrow,
and my nights were cold and long.
before there was you my friend was the darkness,
before there was you I had no one to trust.
before there was you there was deception and pain,
before there was you my dreams turned to dust.
before there was you I cried myself to sleep at night,
before there was you I prayed with all my might.
that God would send me someone to talk to,
someone to turn my gray skies to perfect blue.
someone to be there time and again,
someone I can call my lover and friend.
then on October 9th it happened,
God answered my prayer that night.
His blessings came down,
His love did abound,
when He sent you into my life.
now my heart sings and is whole once again,
I walk in the sunshine my sweet precious friend.
now every day I thank God for you,
because my life was in ruins before there was you.
