John Michael Montgomery - How Was I To Know lyrics

(Blair Daly/Will Rambeaux)

Well I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar

I cried, and I dreamed, wished on every star

But nothin' I'd do got me closer to you

So I locked all my feelings inside

Then one night across a crowded room

You looked my way, your eyes held something new

You walked right up to me and smiled tenderly

And your words came as such a surprise

Well how was I to know

You never let it show

What a beauty like you might see

In a poor boy like me

How could I have seen

You walk out of my dreams

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart

And into my soul

How was I to know

You took my hand and led me out the door

We talked and we laughed

'Bout all the times before

When two lonely people so much in love

Passed like ships in the night

Well how was I to know

You never let it show

What a beauty like you might see

In a poor boy like me

How could I have seen

You walk out of my dreams

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart

And into my soul

How was I to know

How could I have seen

You walk out of my dreams

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart

And into my soul

How was I

How was I to know

Oooh

Oooh

Ooooooooh Oh Oh
