lyrics

The wind was howling
Like the wolf that lived inside my lonely heart

He's crying out for a savior friend
Someone to pull me out the dark

Raindrops streamed down my face like tears
Reminding my that I hadn't shed any in a hundred years

Thunder droned and lightning flashed
And I couldn't help but wonder if this storm would ever pass

Once it subsided and silence fell
I could barely believe what my eyes beheld

Because standing there in front of me
Was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

I guess its only fair that you didn't notice
'Cause when it comes to things like this I'm pretty damn hopeless

And I would think it's strange if you didn't feel the same
But please just hear what I have to say

I'm nothing special I'm not the state of the art
Nowhere near as perfect as I think you are
To me your eyes shine brighter than all the stars in the sky
I could be happy if your smiles the last thing I saw before I died
your smiles the last thing I saw before I died

I must sound like a love stricken fool
but it's just how I feel so what else can I do

Except open my heart up and pray you come in
and fill up all those empty spaces

And I know it might sound dumb but I wrote a script in my head
About I thought this might all play out and end

Now all I need is for you to take the lead role
So we can make this tale unfold

So what do you say will you take my hand
Give me a chance to make you understand that

You're so damn special you're the state of the art
And I've never met anyone as perfect as you are
To me your eyes shine brighter than all the stars in the sky
And I could be happy if your smiles the last thing I saw before I died

If your smile's the last thing I saw before I died.
