"I Never Met A Man Like You Before" lyrics

I Never Met A Man Like You Before

You shined your light
So I could see
That life
Was more than a chore
When I came up against the wall
You said, "I am the door"
You gave me reason to believe in you
Now I believe it even more
I've never met a man like you before

You gave me back my pride
So I could wear it
For all the world to see
You told me if my yesterdays were paid for
Tomorrow is free
From now until I die
I know I won't be lonely anymore
I've never met a man like you before

And if all of my dreams
Turn to dust before my eyes
And all of my songs remain unsung
If all the world can offer me
Just emptiness and lies
I know I'll still have your perfect love

Stormy weather comes and goes
Some of my old friends got washed away
But you're an island of refuge
On your solid rock I found my place
If worldly riches failed me
But I have you
How can I be poor?
I've never met a man like you before
