I Didn't See You Coming

I was doing fine alone,

Friday nights and a quiet sky…

Then you walked in.

I was fine with the quiet, the night and me,

Just a porch light burning and an old oak tree.

Friday nights and a sky full of moon,

Didn’t need nobody in that empty room.

Had my heart locked up good and tight,

Like a screen door closed in the summer night.

Then you walked in laughing soft and low,

And something in me let go.

Didn’t see you coming, not even a sign,

Just a quiet little moment changing my mind.

Like a slow song drifting through a barroom guitar,

Or a late-night wish on a falling star.

I was fine where I was… or so I thought,

Till you showed up with the love I forgot.

You talk in ways that feel like home,

A voice I crave when I’m alone.

We’re night and day, blacktop and rain,

But love don’t care—it came anyway.

You take my hand like you’ve always been there,

Like the answer to a half-spoken prayer.

Funny how fate slips through

When you don’t see it coming too.

Didn’t see you coming, didn’t know I’d fall,

Thought my heart was steady, thought I had it all.

Like a slow dance turning under the stars,

Or headlights drifting past old backroad bars.

I was walking alone down a road so long,

Till you showed up and proved me wrong.

Now every road feels a little less long,

Every sunset’s a sweeter song.

Your hand in mine makes miles fly by,

Like the whole wide world just fell in line.

I was steady, safe, and standing still,

Never chasing love, never chasing thrills.

Then you rolled in like a summer storm

And showed this heart what it was for.

Maybe every lonely mile I drove

Was just another step down your road.

Every quiet night I knew

Was just the dark before you.

I didn’t see you coming… but I see you now,

Like the sun breaking through the clouds somehow.

Like a slow dance spinning under the stars,

Or headlights fading past old backroad bars.

Funny how love finds you out of the blue…

I didn’t see you coming—

But I’m glad it was you.

I didn’t see you coming…

But I’m glad you did.
