She Was

Tuff guy on the outside
Always been the story of my life
No one ever got the best of me
Thought I was in control of my destiny
But on the inside I was gun shy
Never could look love in the eye
Tried to keep my heat protected
Then came the unexpected
I remember the moment I saw
Forever comin' into view
She was standin' there like an angel shinin'
Sent to me with perfect timin'
The only one that could turn my life around
She was sunlight on a cloudy mornin'
Shelter when the rain was pourin'
One heart that would never let me down
Oh it's hard to believe she was born to be with me
But she was
I've been down all the wrong roads
I've every way the wind blows
So lost that I couldn't be found
But love has a way of trackin' you down
The right place the right time
One look she stole this heart of mine
Felt like a new beginning
And I knew it was never endin'
And every night when I'm holding her close
I thank heaven above
She was standin' there like an angel shinin'
Sent to me with perfect timin'
The only one that could turn my life around
She was sunlight on a cloudy mornin'
Shelter when the rain was pourin'
One heart that would never let me down
Oh it's hard to believe she was born to be with me
But she was
A dream I never thought would come true
But my whole life changed from outta the blue
She was standin' there like an angel shinin'
Sent to me with perfect timin'
The only one that could turn my life around
She was sunlight on a cloudy mornin'
Shelter when the rain was pourin'
One heart that would never let me down
Oh it's hard to believe she was born to be with me
But she was
Yeah..
She was standin' there like an angel shinin'
Sent to me with perfect timin'
The only one that could turn my life around
She was sunlight on a cloudy mornin'
Shelter when the rain was pourin'
One heart that would never let me down
Oh it's hard to believe she was born to be with me
But she was
She was
Oh she was
Yeah
She was
Yeah she was
Yeah she was
