Swept Me Off My Feet”Willie Lewis”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love you, I miss you...

Getting that bread, sleeping by your side.

One day, baby.

Willie Lewis.
