Once upon a lonely time I could barely make it through the night It always seemed the sky was falling Down on me But life's funny, you don't own it Things can change in a single moment That's what happened to me Chorus: Everytime a promise fell through Everytime my heart broke in two And it was always too dark to see the horizon When I thought I had it right in my hand It would slip right through like sand I didn't know why but now I see That life had other plans for me I was doing my best, giving me all Kept hittin' my head up against the wall Missin' the mark when I thought my Aim was true I didn't know just what it meant But now I see that it was heaven sent 'Cause that's when I met you (Repeat Chorus) When I was at my worst And couldn't see the light Somehow I knew it would Be alright, cause (Repeat Chorus) Life had other plans for me
