WAKING UP TO YOU - EVERLY DAZE

James Michael Taylor

WAKING UP TO YOU

I didn’t want to tell you I’d been crying
I’d hoped that I could dry up all my tears
But my heart was like the compass
On the bridge of a sinking ship
And I was drowning in the ocean of my fears

I remember that I said there was no hurry
I’d sing a song. I’d write a verse or two
But I’d stayed up late on purpose so I’d sleep into the day
Thinking I’d be waking up to you

Waking up to you. Waking up to you
I’d stayed up late on purpose so I’d sleep into the day
Thinking I’d be waking up to you

In hopeful dreams I’d listened for your footsteps
But, all I heard was ticking of the clock
I couldn’t sleep forever, so I had to face the day
Not knowing what to think if all our talk

The easy way you answered all my questions
The ones I spoke. The ones within my heart
The answers beyond questions that I found there in your smile
Left me hoping wee would never be apart

Waking up to you. Waking up to you
I’d stayed up late on purpose so I’d sleep into the day
Thinking I’d be waking up to you

Then I heard your footsteps in the stairwell
I kicked myself for doubting you were true
You said you’d had a flat tire and had to fix it by yourself
That’s when I started waking up to you

Waking up to you. Waking up to you
I’d stayed up late on purpose so I’d sleep into the day
Thinking I’d be waking up to you
