Verse 1[edit]
When I saw her for the very first time
I felt a new love take a hold of my heart
It wrapped itself around, destroying resistance
My self-control went only so far
All I wanted was for her to wave
And smile as we passed in the street
There wasn't anything else in heaven or earth
That would make my happiness complete
Chorus[edit]
And I realize that all my life
I've been waiting for this moment, for this awesome revelation
Now I've seen the light, a brand new way
And my new life has begun today
Verse 2[edit]
I remember how her lovely eyes would shine
With the joy she saw in everything
How she'd greet the morning, arms open wide
To receive whatever it would bring
Whenever she went walking in the woods
It was the same thing that I always heard
She'd sing a song, the tune was simple enough
But I could never seem to catch the words
Verse 3[edit]
I tried so many times to put it into words
To let her know just how she made me feel
But I never found the way to say what I mean
And I left my new love unrevealed
And now she's gone away, she'll never come back
And I'm never gonna see her again
But that's OK, I've had my vision
And my new life isn't over yet
Chorus 2[edit]
And I realize that all my life
Has been leading up to now, to this moment of epiphany
I'll walk this road, and reach my destination
To look on her in glory, oh Beatrice, you're waitin'
When all I've known before is just my feeble imitation
Of the way her beauty shone to enlighten every nation
And until then, I'll keep on trying to sing the song that I thought I once could hear her play
And my new life has begun today
