…And then there was you
And then there was you, my dear
I thought love was a game one would win or would lose
Until I found you…
Until I found you, my dear
I thought love was a shame so I threw it away
And then there was you
I thought I…
…was right
But now it seems I was wrong
I just waited so long and I feared love had gone
And then there was you…

…And then there was you
And then there was you, my dear
I thought love was a game
One would win or would lose until
I found you…
Until I found you, my dear
I thought love was a shame
So I threw it away
And then there was you
I thought I…
…was right
But now it seems I was wrong
I just waited so long
And I feared love had gone
And then there was you…

…And then there was you
And then there was you, my dear
I thought love was a game
One would win or would lose until
I found you…
Until I found you, my dear
I thought love was a shame
So I threw it away
And then there was you
I thought I…
…was right
But now it seems I was wrong
I just waited so long
And I feared love had gone
And then there was you…

…alone.
[Chorus]
And then there was you,
and everything changed.
and then there was you,
and I've breathed again.
and then there was you…

And I've never had the feelin' that I'm wanted
I've never held a hand that fit just right
And then there was you
And then there was you…
…felt it without lies
I never thought there be a day I'd ever have the guts to say that
Somebody's mine
And then there was you
And then there was you…
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let you go, no (And then there was you)
Gonna love you every day 'till we're grey and old
Gonna dance…

…heart less
They were the haters,
Doubters, non-believers
And then there was you;
Proving them wrong…
They were the haters,
Doubters, non-believers
And then there was you;
Proving them wrong
Punish me
Beat me down
Take me down to the underground
Punish me
Beat…
…not heartless, I just learned
How to use my heart less
They were the haters,
Doubters, non-believers
And then there was you…

…that's all I was feeling
I've kept my eyes in this corner
This room becomes a little smaller
Saw this vein of light and then there was you…
…that's all i was feeling
I've kept eyes in this corner
This rooms becomes a little smaller
Saw this vein of light and then there was you…

…was always living for the moment
Nobody knows what the future holds
And then there was you
Yeah, yeah
Someone to share all my…
…any expectation but
This is everything love should be
I was searching for missing pieces
To make my life complete and
Then there was you…

…needed some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
It's so hard to remember my sad…
…some love and then there was you
Couldn't ask for more
'Cause you are my first time love
You are my first time love
You are my first time love, love…

Every night up in the club
Getting money with the thugs
Thought I never fall in love
And then there was you
And I don't want…

…for somewhere to stay till he went away
And then there was you, he was there too
Just molesting, I'm through with you guessing…

…was dreamin', day dreamin', dreamin' 'bout things that come true
I was dreamin', and hopin', and wishin' and then there was you…

…for me
This world was mine to keep
I traveled so far defying the dawn
Just to see where this road leads
My foolish hunt, unbroken unscarred was whole
...and then there was you…

With your heart made of gold
So strong, the only thing holding us up
And we knew you would always be so close
And so this is why I'm here
And then there was you…

We spent July in a Berkeley basement,
Half read books, and bold declarations.
There was so much I didn't believe in
And then, there was you…
