I drew pictures of you  
Long before I met you  
Just a fragment of my mind 
I had called out for you  
Almost every night 
Precious things are hard to find  

It was just an evening much like any else when you came into my life  
It takes one to know one and I saw you there as I had seen you all my life 
 
I thank a god I’ve never met, never loved, never wanted, for you  
I write it so I don’t forget never let it get away 
I keep a picture of you just to keep you safe
 
Now that I have you 
I will not forget 
What a miracle you are  
No childish expectation  
Love is not the answer 
But the line that marks the start 
 
I thank a god I’ve never met, never loved, never wanted, for you  
I write it so I don’t forget never let it get away 
I keep a picture of you just to keep you safe 

I thank a god I’ve never met, never loved, never wanted, for you  
I write it so I won’t forget never let it get away 
I keep a picture of you just to keep you safe 

I thank a god I’ve never met, never loved, never wanted, for you  
I sing it so I won’t forget never let it get away 
I keep a picture of you just to keep you safe
