Unexpected Love: Finding Perfection in Friendship
Lyrics
I don't have to look any further
I no longer need to search for companionship elsewhere.
Like I always used to do
Contrasting with past behavior, where searching was common.
No searching for some other unknown mystic lover
No need for seeking unknown romantic partners.
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
You are the perfect friend I've discovered.
There are those I've known for a lifetime
I have friends of varying durations in my life.
Others, they're brand new
Some friends are recent acquaintances.
They come through lucky chance,
Friends may come from chance encounters.
Some from brief romances
Others result from brief romantic relationships.
They'd all love to have a friend like you
All of them would wish for a friend like you.
But you took me by surprise
Your appearance in my life was unexpected.
I wasn't ready for you
I wasn't prepared for the impact you would have.
Something flashed before my eyes
A sudden realization or emotion overwhelmed me.
Suddenly I adored you, adored you
I found myself loving and admiring you instantly.
I was never terminal lonely
I was not profoundly lonely before meeting you.
From my sheltered point of view
My life seemed straightforward and uncomplicated.
My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple
I hadn't dedicated my life to a friendship like ours.
Dedicated to a friend like you
Expressing devotion to the unique bond with you.
On the way from cradle to tombstone
Throughout life, only a fortunate few may find such companionship.
There may be a lucky few
Some navigate life smoothly, buoyed by special friends like you.
Who sail through life untroubled,
Life can be trouble-free for a select few.
Floating on the bubbles
An imagery of carefree existence with friends like you.
In the wake of special friends like you
Empty row for formatting.
When you took me by surprise
I couldn't resist acknowledging the impact.
I couldn't help but allow
Despite initial uncertainties, I allowed myself to feel.
One day vague, the next day wise
From vague emotions to profound wisdom in loving you.
To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow
Expressing enduring love beyond the uncertainties of tomorrow.
You took me by surprise
Your impact on me was unexpected.
I wasn't thinking of you
I wasn't consciously considering you at the time.
Suddenly realized
A sudden realization dawned on me.
How much I really loved you, I love you
Expressing the depth of love that was realized.
Now I don't need to look any further
I no longer need to search for companionship elsewhere (repeated).
Like I always used to do
Similar to the second line, emphasizing the change.
No searching for some unknown mystic lover
No need for seeking unknown romantic partners (repeated).
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
Reiteration of finding the perfect friend in you.
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
Repetition for emphasis: I've found the perfect friend in you.
Oh my perfect friend how I love you
Expressing profound love for the perfect friend.
