Along Came You
Unexpected Love: Along Came You
Lyrics
Well, I used to sit at home and wonder why, why, why
Reflecting on a past time of confusion and questioning.
All the happiness in life just passed me by
Feeling that happiness in life eluded the speaker.
I didn't think in all the world there could ever be
Expressing doubt about the possibility of finding true love.
One girl in a million who was meant for me.
Believing that there is an exceptionally rare girl meant for the speaker.
Then along came you walkin' down the street
Noticing someone special ("you") walking down the street.
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
Being deeply affected by the presence of "you," experiencing a profound impact.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Expressing surprise at finding a girl who is genuinely faithful.
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.
Emphasizing the unexpectedness of meeting "you" out of nowhere.
I had just about forgotten how to smile
Recalling a time when the speaker had forgotten how to smile.
You could see my misery for a country mile
Indicating visible misery that could be seen from a great distance.
Used to being lonely surrendered to the blue
Being accustomed to loneliness and accepting sadness ("the blue").
Then somehow outta nowhere along came you.
Unexpectedly encountering "you" and experiencing a positive change.
Then along came you walkin' down the street
Reiterating the impact of "you" walking down the street.
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
Re-emphasizing the profound effect of "you," being knocked off one's feet metaphorically.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Continuing to express disbelief at finding a faithful girl.
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.
Underlining the unexpected nature of meeting "you."
Then along came you walkin' down the street
Repeating the impact of "you" walking down the street.
Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
Reiterating the profound effect of "you," being knocked off one's feet metaphorically.
I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Maintaining surprise at finding a faithful girl.
Somewhere outta nowhere along came you
Reaffirming the unexpectedness of meeting "you."
