Discovering love, discovering life.

You Showed Me
Timothy A. Perry © 2002

Verse 1:
In the years that came before you
I was shallow as a pond.
Didn’t search for something deeper
Wasn’t forging any bonds.
I don’t know what you saw in me.
In the dim and smoky light
But something had to make you think
That I’d clean up alright.

Chorus:
You showed me love in warm wishes
Sultry nights and slow kisses
Every touch took me to somewhere new.
You played me music soft and low
Showed me colors in their ebb and flow
You brought out feelings, I barely knew.
You showed me….a love so true.

Verse 2:
I always hurt from loneliness
Though I never hurt for friends.
I always had a joke to tell
But I’d be crying in the end.
Sometimes you just don’t realize
How deep a hole you’re in
Till someone throws you down a rope
As the walls come crashing in.

Chorus:
You showed me love in warm wishes
Sultry nights and slow kisses
Every touch took me to somewhere new.
You played me music soft and low
Showed me colors in their ebb and flow
You brought out feelings, I barely knew.
You showed me….a love so true.

Verse 3:
(You told me) Joy is in the giving.
Love lives in the heart
You showed me that any day
Is a perfect place to start.
(You said) Open up to magic
Don’t be afraid to fall
Loving is the only way
To ever have it all. Chorus:
You showed me love in warm wishes
Sultry nights and slow kisses
Every touch took me to somewhere new.
You played me music soft and low
Showed me colors in their ebb and flow
You brought out feelings, I barely knew.
You showed me….a love so true.
