Meant to Be
Ernie Halter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slowly stars go out each night
Dark meets light, kiss the sun goodnight
A new day comes
This old life's just begun
I am yours

And every time you hold my hand
There's an understanding of who I am
A new life is born
Just said before
You're now mine

You can feel it in the summer breeze
Tonight the world's at ease

You are the one for me
After all the waiting, I can finally breathe
But then, skies, say what they may
I will love you all throughout my days
Happiness happens when our hearts combine
When it's you I'm with, I come alive
It's just so plain to see
Darlin' we are meant to be

Your love is like amazing grace
Sounds so sweet, I can almost taste
I've been given more than what I could ever ask for
I am yours

I can feel it in the summer breeze
Tonight the world's at ease

You are the one for me
After all the waiting, I can finally breathe
But then, skies, say what they may
I will love you all throughout my days
Happiness happens when our hearts combine
When it's you I'm with, I come alive
It's just so plain to see
Darlin' we are meant

I feel at home whenever you're around
I feel so secure, so safe and sound
What else can I say?
What else can I say?

You are the one for me
After all the waiting, I can finally breathe
But then, skies, say what they may
I will love you all throughout my days
Happiness happens when our hearts combine
When it's you I'm with, I come alive
It's just so plain to see
Darlin' we are meant




Darlin' we are meant
Darlin' we are meant to be
