  • Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
    Wasn't waiting on a prince to come riding into my life
    Thought I was happy on my own
    'Til you came and proved me wrong

    I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
    I couldn't see, I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
    I didn't know there was a hole
    Something missing in my soul
    'Til you filled it up with your love, yeah

    Yeah, yeah

    Never pictured myself singing lullabies
    Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night
    In the quiet, in the dark
    You're stealing every bit of my heart with your daddy's eyes
    What a sweet surprise

    And now I'm holdin' what I never knew I always wanted
    I couldn't see, I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
    I didn't know there was a hole
    Something missing in my soul
    'Til you filled it up, oh, with your love

    Life has a way of showing you just what you need
    And who you were made to be, yeah

    I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
    I couldn't see, I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
    I didn't know there was a hole
    Something missing in my soul
    'Til you filled it up with your love
    Yeah, you filled it up with your love, yeah

    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
    I never pictured myself singing lullabies Writer/s: Brett James, Carrie Underwood, Hillary Lindsey
