Lyrics
YOU RESCUED ME
(C) 2009 Dennis Long
I was distant as the stars, lonely as the moon
Drifting through the night alone, desolate and blue
You were my sunrise!
You rescued me
I was living in the bars, drowning in beer
Under for so long I stopped struggling for air
You threw me a lifeline!
You rescued me
CHORUS:
I never knew love
Nothing worth speaking of
Ah, but that's all changed
You rescued me
Out of the dark days
Safe in your sweet embrace
Ah, but ain't life grand?
You rescued me
I was eating from a jar, sleeping on the floor
Pin-up girls and beer cans were such elegant decor
I've been remodeled
You rescued me
I drove a 20-year-old car, my clothes were out of date
I was overwhelmed, overdrawn and somewhat overweight
OK, so some things never change
But you rescued me
REPEAT CHORUS
I was distant as the stars, lonely as the moon
Drifting through the night alone, desolate and blue
You were my sunrise
You rescued me
REPEAT CHORUS
