was sitting in that chair, lost in the mess
Hairdresser stuck, I was feeling the stress
Then you stepped in, like you knew the way
Just took the lead and you saved the day.
I looked in the mirror, all I could do was smile
You had that grin that made it all worthwhile
From that first "hello," you felt like home to me
Steadying my hand, seeing what I could be.
[Verse 2]
I think about the simple things, the way it used to feel
Driving just to get that bread, making life feel real
I was so at ease, the world would start to fade
Dozing off beside you in the quiet of the shade.
You’d catch me sleeping, a smile on your face
Stick your finger in my mouth, just to keep the pace
A little playful touch, a bond so deep and true
I never felt as comfortable as I did with you.
[Pre-Chorus]
We spent the months grinding, side by side
Hustling hard with nowhere to hide
But when the day got heavy and I couldn't keep track
You moved right in and you had my back.
[Chorus]
Oh, Willie Lewis, you swept me off my feet
You made a hard-headed woman feel soft and sweet
I pushed you away with my independent mind
Leaving the best thing I ever had behind.
Now my heart keeps saying, through the distance and time
Baby, I miss you, I wish you were mine.
[Verse 3]
I was exhausted, heavy in my bones
You walked me to my room, away from the phones
Slowly undressed me, quiet and kind
Putting my pjs on, leaving the world behind.
You tucked me in tight, whispered "goodnight"
For the first time in forever, everything felt right
But my stubborn heart wasn't ready to stay
I let my own pride push the magic away.
[Bridge]
We still talk about the struggle, the highs and the lows
I tell you I love you, and I hope that it shows.
I’m still that woman, proud and standing tall
But you’re the only one who ever saw me fall.
[Final Chorus]
Willie Lewis, Willie Lewis, you swept me off my feet
You made this independent heart skip a beat
I’m still here waiting, keeping the flame
Every time I’m lonely, I’m calling your name.
(Willie Lewis)
You turned my fear to fire
And I’m still reaching higher, higher
Until I’m back with you.
[Outro]
I love you, I miss you...
Getting that bread, sleeping by your side.
One day, baby.
Willie Lewis.
