“You Were the Wow”
Verse 1
I wasn’t looking for forever,
Wasn’t looking for much at all,
Then you walked in and changed the weather,
Something in me just answered that call.
Funny how it started so simple,
A night that could’ve gone any old way —
But I knew before it ended,
This wasn’t just another day.
Chorus
‘Cause I knew this lifetime wasn’t enough time,
The second that I saw the wow in your eyes,
Purple sky, white gold shining,
No yellow gonna find us now.
Cheese on the popcorn, country on the radio,
I knew this lifetime wasn’t enough time,
But baby, it’s the one I get to know.
Verse 2
Hot tub steam and a shot of sambuca,
That’s the night I got lucky, plain and true,
I’ve told that story a hundred times over,
Every time it just comes back to you.
Sometimes I think about that summer up in Bend,
Wonder if we’d met there, how it might have been —
Maybe it just needed to wait,
Find us right on time, not early or late.
Bridge
Don’t wanna miss a thing, that’s your song, I know it well,
Every time it plays I hear the truth it tells —
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss a single mile with you,
Every purple sunset, every white gold view.
Chorus (repeat)
I knew this lifetime wasn’t enough time,
Girl, you were — you are — the wow,
And I’m still saying it right now.
