How Was I To Know Lyrics

John Michael Montgomery

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
