Take Five
Quincy D. Jones Lyrics

Well, I used to sit at home and wonder why, why, why
I used to stay at home feeling sad and questioning why I couldn't find happiness in life.

All the happiness in life just passed me by
I felt like I missed out on all the good things in life and couldn't find joy.

I didn't think in all the world there could ever be
I didn't believe that there was anyone out there for me in the entire world.

One girl in a million who was meant for me.
I thought it was nearly impossible to find one person who was perfect for me.

Then along came you walkin' down the street
Then you came along, just walking down the street.

Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
You caught my attention and I was completely taken aback by you.

I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
I didn't believe that I could find someone who would truly care for me.

Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.
You appeared unexpectedly and changed my life for the better.

I had just about forgotten how to smile
I was so unhappy that I forgot how to even smile.

You could see my misery for a country mile
My sadness was obvious and could be seen from a long distance away.

Used to being lonely surrendered to the blue
I was used to being alone and had given up hope of finding anyone.

Then somehow outta nowhere along came you.
But then you came out of nowhere and brought light into my life.

Then along came you walkin' down the street
Again, you appeared, just walking down the street.

Then along came you, you knocked me off my feet.
And once again, you surprised and shocked me with your presence.

I never thought I'd find a girl that ever would be true
Once more, I realized that I had not expected to find someone so genuine and devoted to me.

Somewhere outta nowhere along came you.
But you somehow came into my life and changed everything for the better.
