Neon lights on a wet downtown street
Umbrella drippin’ at my feet
I almost turned and walked away
From that cold and restless gray
But through the glass and candle glow
Paintings lined in quiet rows
You stood there like a work of art
And stopped this drifter’s heart
We spoke a while, just simple things
But I felt forever in between
Every word and every smile
Like I’d known you all the while
Chorus:
On a rainy night in a crowded room
Under skies of silver gloom
I found the one I’d been dreamin’ of
In the quiet grace of your sweet love
From that moment, deep inside
I knew you’d be my heart, my bride
And I swore right then, come what may
I’d stand by you every day
You had dreams bigger than that town
More than roots that held you down
I saw the fire behind your eyes
Like a spark that touched the sky
So I worked hard, gave all I had
Through the good times and the bad
Every step, I walked with you
Just to see your dreams come true
Chorus:
On a rainy night in a crowded room
Under skies of silver gloom
I found the one I’d been dreamin’ of
In the quiet grace of your sweet love
From that moment, deep inside
I knew you’d be my heart, my bride
And I swore right then, come what may
I’d stand by you every day
Bridge:
And I’d do it all a thousand times
Through every mountain left to climb
Your dreams became my own somehow
They still are, they always will be now
Final Chorus:
From that rainy night to where we stand
Through every trial hand in hand
I’d give it all, I’d pay the cost
No matter what, no matter loss
‘Cause loving you’s the truest thing
This old heart will ever bring
And I’d do it all the same way again
Just to hold you like I did back then
