The Day You Came Along 1933

I was a very solitary sort
just like a ship
that seeks a friendly port,
just when I thought
my hopes had taken flight
you came in sight
like a beacon light!

My heart went leaping
the day you came along,
forgot the weeping
the day you came along,
before I knew it
I hummed a little song
the day you came along.
I only drifted
before you came along,
The fog was lifted
because you came along,
I sent the blackbirds
right back where they belong
the day you came along.
Men have conquered nations,
other men have set them free,
Pioneers have crossed the sea.
You can turn the pages
thru the ages but to me
'twas the most eventful day in history!
Two souls were mated
the day you came along,
a world created
the day you came along
one glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
the day you came along.

My heart went leaping
the day you came along,
forgot the weeping
the day you came along,
before I knew it
I hummed a little song
the day you came along.
I only drifted
before you came along,
The fog was lifted
because you came along,
I sent the blackbirds
right back where they belong
the day you came along.
Men have conquered nations,
other men have set them free,
Pioneers have crossed the sea.
You can turn the pages
thru the ages but to me
'twas the most eventful day in history!
Two souls were mated
the day you came along,
a world created
the day you came along
one glance convinced me
I knew I wasn't wrong
the day you came along.
