When I Found You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I believe we all have one true love
Somewhere in this world, I do
When it seemed all my dreams were falling through
That's when I found you

I believe for every heart that whispers in the dark
There's a ray of light somewhere shining through
It was sink or swim when the tide came in
I found myself when I found you

[Chorus]
I found the closest thing to heaven
Yes, in you, I found the deepest love I knew
Ooh-ooh, oh, I believe, yes, it's true
I found myself when I found you
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]
I believe (I believe) for every door (Every door)
That's closing
For every heartbreak there's hope for something new
From the ashes rise a glimpse of paradise
It still flickered in your eyes
When I found you

[Chorus]
I found the closest thing to heaven
Yes, in you, I found the deepest love I knew
Ooh-ooh, oh, I believe, yes, it's true
I found myself when I found you
Ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
How life unfolds, no one knows
I thought love was just a tingling of the skin
I felt so alone, all alone
More than you could ever know
You show deeper love, sweeter love, when I found you

[Chorus]
I found the closest thing to Heaven
I found the deepest love I knew
When I found you
I found the closest thing to heaven
Yes, in you, I found the deepest love I knew
Ooh-ooh, oh, I believe, yes, it's true
I found myself when I found you
Ooh, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
