(This is the Way it was) "Meant to Be" Words & Music by Daniel J. Paolini

When I found out you were all alone,
no one to call your own,
waiting for love so patiently.
I said I would pay any price,
make any kind of sacrifice,
so we could be together for eternity.

Do you need me, like I need you?
There's nothing in this world I would not do;
to show to you, to make you see,
this is the way it was meant to be.

I did not know what I should do,
to reach out and connect with you.
so I prayed that God would guide and help me see.
I was wond'ring if it worked at all,
when I got that telephone call.
and I knew that you would soon be here with me.

You found me, and I found you.
I guess what they say is really true;
that I found you, and you found me.
This is the way it was meant to be.

I would wait a thousand years. I would go a million miles.
Just so I could dry your tears, and see your wondrous smile.

When you reached out and you took my hand,
it was hard for me to understand.
How anyone could ever let you go.
For the feeling I have in my heart,
makes me sure that we will never part.
With joy like this I want the world to know.

That you love me, and I love you.
I guess what they say is really true;
that I love you, and you love me.
This is the way it was meant to be.

You have me, and I have you.
The thread of our lives is finally in view.
so I have you, and you have me.
This is the way it was meant to be.
This is the way it was meant to be.
