Woke Up In Love
Exile Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere in the night
Fell in love with you
You wandered through my dreams
And you stole away my blues
All of a sudden a brand new feelin'
Opened up inside
And I don't know whether to jump through the roof
Or break right down and cry

Woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day
Am I still dreaming
Is it supposed to feel this way
Running around with a foolish grin
Painted all over my face
Woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day

I used to run around
In no particular direction
I ran across a lot of pretty women
But I couldn't make a connection
Last night when you held me tight
You turned my life around
And I opened up my eyes this morning
I said, "Look what I found"

Woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day
Am I still dreaming
Is it supposed to feel this way
Running around with a foolish grin
Painted all over my face
I woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day

Woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day
Am I still dreaming
Is it supposed to feel this way
Running around with a foolish grin
Painted all over my face
I woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful

I woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day
Am I still dreaming
Is it supposed to feel this way
Running around with a foolish grin
Painted all over my face

Woke up in love with you
Oh, what a beautiful day

Somewhere in the night
At some point during the night

Fell in love with you
I fell in love with you

You wandered through my dreams
You were in my dreams

And you stole away my blues
You made me happy

All of a sudden a brand new feelin'
Suddenly, I had a new feeling

Opened up inside
I had a burst of emotions

And I don't know whether to jump through the roof
I'm so happy, I don't know what to do

Or break right down and cry
I'm so overwhelmed, I might cry

Woke up in love with you
I woke up loving you

Oh, what a beautiful day
Today is a beautiful day

Am I still dreaming
Is this all just a dream
