She lived in a world of words and dreams
Lost in the pages, or so it seemed
Love was a story she wouldn't read
A fleeing tale she thought she didn't need
Her friends would talk of hearts and bliss
She'd roll her eyes, I'll pass on this
Her world was quiet, her heart stood still
Until one night, against her will
When love found me in the autumn light
A painter's heart turned wrong to right
He saw my soul through walls I'd made
And taught me love's a serenade
At the gallery, his art spoke loud
I meet the colors among the crowd
He said hello with a gentle smile
And I forgot my doubts for a while
We walked through parks as leaves fell down
He turned my gray to golden brown
He spoke of passion, of life so true
And somehow I believed him too
When love found me in the autumn light
A painter's heart turned wrong to right
He saw my soul through walls I'd made
And taught me love's a serenade
Now my story's not just ink on a page
It's laughter and love in a golden age
With him I've learned to let it be
When love found him, it also found me
Love's not a puzzle, not a fight
It's the warmth of hands on a cold, clear night
It's sharing dreams and simple things
It's hearing the joy that kindness brings
When love found me in the autumn light
A painter's heart turned wrong to right
He saw my soul through walls I'd made
And taught me love's a serenade
Now my story's not just ink on a page
It's laughter and love in a golden age
With him I've learned to let it be
When love found him, it also found me
When love found him, it also found me
