Every little girl has a plan,

And every woman has a dream:

The man, the life, the fairytale.

I'd never find mine, it seemed.

Just when I thought

My expectations were too high,

Just when I thought

I'd be lonely until I die

You came along.

Although I've never been a 'loner'

By any stretch of the word,

One doesn't have to be alone to be lonely

In this great big world.

You came along and rose the sun

Warmed my heart, relieved my despair.

Your knowing eyes and loving touch

Fulfill my needs beyond compare.

At night when you lay next to me

I feel safe and strong.

What else can I say; except,

Thank God, you came along.
