How Was I To Know Lyrics - John Michael Montgomery

Well, I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar 

And I cried and I dreamed, wished on every star 

But nothin' I'd do, got me closer to you 

So I locked all my feelings inside 

Then one night across a crowded room 

You looked my way, your eyes held something new 

You walked right up to me, smiled tenderly 

And your words came as such a surprise 

How was I to know 

You never let it show 

What a beauty like you might see 

In a poor boy like me 

And how could I have seen 

You walk out of my dreams 

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart 

Into my soul, how was I to know 

You took my hand and led me out the door 

We talked and we laughed 'bout all the times before 

Two lonely people so much in love 

Passed like ships in the night 

Well, how was I to know 

You never let it show 

What a beauty like you might see 

In a poor boy like me 

And how could I have seen 

You walk out of my dreams 

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart 

Into my soul, how was I to know 

How could I have seen 

You walk out of my dreams 

Shine your light on my sleepin' heart 

Into my soul, how was I, how was I to know
