The Reason Was You
Sibel Lyrics

It was early in the morning
At the beginning of the day

I was in my car again
Sitting in an automobile for the umpteenth time

And another day was dawning
A new day was beginning

As the mist was rolling in
The fog was descending

I was driving down the coastline
Traveling along the ocean's edge

With no special place to go
Not having a particular destination

I was looking for a reason to keep
Searching for a motivation to continue

Driving down that road
Traveling along that path

The reason was you
The motivation was you

You carried me through
You provided me the strength to continue

I was headed nowhere special
Going to an unremarkable place

Just away from all the old
Moving away from the past

I was feeling worn and tired
Experiencing fatigue and exhaustion

From my years out in the cold
Because of my time in difficulties

And the radio was playing
And the radio broadcasted

All the songs from long ago
The music from earlier times

They reminded me of all the good things
They brought back memories of positive experiences

That we used to know
That we were familiar with

Time will wait for no one
Time continues to move forward, regardless of anyone else

Soon enough it will pass me by
It will pass me by shortly

And even if I wonder
Even if I question

I won't ask the question why
I won't seek an explanation

With a trust in what I'm feeling
Putting confidence in my emotions

And a faith in God above
And a belief in a higher power

I'll take what I've been given
I'll accept what I have received

And I'll treasure it with love
And I'll cherish it with care
