I Never Meant to Find You _long

(Intro – sanft, fast geflüstert) Wise men say love finds a way Even when you turn away I was walking on my own Till your heart became my home (Verse 1) I never planned to understand How a single glance could change a man But here I stand with my heart in my hand 'Cause I never meant to find you (Verse 2) I told my heart to be smart Not to let this feeling start But from the start you played the biggest part And I never meant to find you (Pre-Chorus) Every road I walked before Led me right to your door Now I'm not lonely anymore (Chorus) And I never meant to fall this way But I'll never walk away Darling, here I'll stay Forever and a day 'Cause I never meant to find you But heaven knows I'm glad I do (Instrumental Interlude – Streicher / Piano) (Verse 3 – zarter) In quiet nights, in fading light Your name is on my lips so tight Like a prayer I never learned to say Till you showed me the way (Verse 4) I built my walls, I closed my doors Swore I wouldn't feel no more But somehow you slipped inside And made this heart come back alive (Pre-Chorus 2 – größer) All the dreams I left behind Were just waiting there to find A love like yours, so rare, so kind (Chorus 2 – voller) No, I never meant to fall this way But I'll never walk away Darling, here I'll stay Forever and a day You're my midnight, you're my morning light In your arms the world feels right 'Cause I never meant to find you But heaven knows I'm glad I do (Bridge – dramatisch) Like the moon pulls on the sea You keep pulling on me No matter how I try There's no place left to hide Darling, can't you see You're the air I breathe You're every reason why My lonely nights have died (Instrumental Break – Steigerung, dann wieder ruhig) (Verse 5 – intim, fast gesprochen) If time should steal the stars away And turn our skies to shades of gray I'll still be holding on to you Like it's the only thing I knew (Verse 6) And when we're old and voices slow And all the world moves fast below I'll whisper what I've always known I was never meant to be alone (Soft Refrain – halb Chorus) I never meant to find you Never meant to stay But loving you forever Feels like the only way (Bridge 2 – sehr ruhig, schwebend) Every heartbeat calls your name Every whisper fans the flame Nothing ever felt the same Since you came If tomorrow never comes Still my heart will carry on Beating only just for you Like it always knew (Final Chorus – großes Orchester, Höhepunkt) I never meant to fall this way (But I'll never walk away) Darling, here I'll stay Forever and a day Through the seasons, through the years Through the laughter and the tears When the night is cold and long You'll still be my song 'Cause I never meant to find you But heaven knows I'm glad I do Yes, I never meant to find you But my whole world led to you (Tag / Reprise – wiederholt, immer leiser) Never meant to find you Never meant to stay But I'll love you forever Forever and a day (Outro – sehr leise, intim) No, I never meant to find you But I'm so glad I did So glad I did So glad I found you (geflüstert) Stay with me… Forever… and a day…
