saw her yesterday
and I know I felt the feeling
like the one I felt today
and now
it's taking over me

I've never met anyone like you
cuz I never could find the words to write you

she's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
she's got perfect reason's
said she'd love to talk to Jesus
I bet I believe her when she said
life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

she's got every little thing I wanted
and it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
and I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
tonight

she sits there all alone
and she's reading from the chapter
that she sometimes calls her own
and now
she's taking over me
cuz the girl I once rejected
has now become the girl of my dreams

she's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
she's got perfect reason's
said she'd love to talk to Jesus
I bet I believe her when she said
life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

she's got every little thing I wanted
and it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
and I could never express the way
I felt before tonight

she's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night (oh last night)
