There You Were

I was counting down the minutes
I was wishin' on the stars
I was prayin' for a sign
And tryin' to beat the odds

I was dreamin' of you
Long before I saw your face
And there you were
Waitin' for that day

Then you reached through the hurricane
When you, baby, you called my name

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs
There you were, there you were

Must have broken to Heaven
Just to roll back the clouds
Were you on a mission
Were you seekin' me out

Was I that one in a million
Was I that one sacred kiss
That you couldn't chance
You just couldn't miss

And you babe, you whispered
Through the silent tears
When you, you swept away all my fears

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love keeps taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs
There you were, babe

Standin' in the middle of nowhere
With your arms wide open
And you, you were the reason
When there was no reason in my life
You're the reason in my life

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
(Just when all hope was gone)
There you were babe
(Oh baby)

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
(Oh baby)
Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
Where the hero belongs
There you were

Like the light in the eye of the storm
Tellin' me not to cry anymore
(There you were)
Where I watched my whole world fall apart
Shinin' through like an angel from afar
(Oh, like an angel)

You broke through the storm
(Oh)
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
Burnin' the midnight sky

And your love is taking me higher
Just when all hope was gone
(Oh oh oh baby)
There you were, babe

You broke through the storm
And you turned back the night
Baby, you are the fire
Burnin' the midnight sky
And your love keeps taking me higher
