I dreamed of a smile
Long before it ever shone my way
I dreamed of it night and day
Like a sun that never set
Over straight and crooked miles
Falling out of favour or embraced

Wondering where was love?
It hadn't happened yet
Baby, I missed you
Before we ever met

When things were looking down
My heart would always find the words to say
Any time I'd lose my way
In times when I'd forget
That love was all around
It fought for my attention every day

Things went on this way
For a thousand years I guess
Baby, I missed you
Before we ever met

Had I been listening
I would have heard
That little voice inside me say
There's something missing
Instead I chose
To let it pass me by
Chose to look the other way
I believed in love
In every word they said
And I dreamed of a smile
Long before it ever shone my way

I dreamed of it night and day
So how could I forget?
Baby, I missed you
Before we ever met
