Chasing Dreams

8.31.06

I always thought that wishing on a star was just a pointless game
I never believed that the great God almighty actually knew my name
I didn’t think there ever was a purpose to wish on a star so bright
I never thought that an angel could come rescue me in the middle of the night
I was always so skeptical to believe in luck, chance, coincidence, or even fate
I was never even positive if my hero would ever come before it was too late
I constantly believed that a dream was just a dream, and that fantasies were the same
I had sunk so low at a point and time that my pride had been replaced with shame
I’m still uncertain of why I had that dream that night, or why I chose to share it with you
I guess I was hoping that if I told you, then you’d possibly know just what to do
Apparently you knew what to do though, perhaps you already had a plan
Maybe you chose to take a chance before things decided to just hit the fan
I think God finally understand that it was my chance to shine
Maybe he got the hint when he watched as I willingly crossed the line
That’s the reason he sent you into my life, to take the pain away
That’s probably why he chose you, because he knew that you’d agree to forever stay
I never thought it possible to love a person as much as I do you
I never imagined anybody else could make me feel the way you do
I never knew that I could be this happy—that I could live my life so carefree
I can never be even the least bit happier as long as you forever stay with me
I thank God every single night for you before I go to sleep
And as long as you still give me full permission to, your heart I'll always keep
Forgive me for all these words, but I’m just so happy that you’re in my life
I have a terrible time waiting until the day that I wake up, and you finally call me your wife
I’m not certain why I ever decided to chase my dreams that day
But I’m absolutely glad I did because you’re the only one that’s ever taken any hurt away
You’re my hope, my hero, my lover, my friend; but most of all, you’re my dream that’s come true
I can never truly express how much you mean to me, but I can say that the only one I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with is you
