I never saw blue like that...

Today I took a walk up the street,
Picked a flower and climbed the hill above the lake
And secret thoughts were said aloud,
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away.
And were we ever somewhere else?
You know, it's hard to say.

But I never saw blue like that before -
Across the sky, around the world -
You've given me all you have and more.
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now.
Oh I never saw blue like that...

I can't believe a month ago I was alone
I didn't know you, I hadn't seen you or heard your name.
And even now I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, it's like a rainbow
It's like the rain.
And some things are the way they are
And words just can't explain.

But I never saw blue like that before -
Across the sky, around the world -
You've given me all you have and more.
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now.
Oh I never saw blue like that before.

And it feels like now, and it feels always
And it feels like coming home....
I never saw blue like that before -
Across the sky, around the world -
You've given me all you have and more.
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now.
Oh I never saw blue that like that before.

Oh, I never saw blue that like that....
