The Light Across the Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Warm November night, the air was thick and still Down River Valley Road, against my window sill Walked into Vinyl, just another bar, another song Never knew my whole life was about to come along [Chorus] Then I saw the light across that crowded room Like heaven hung a spotlight in the smoke and the perfume One glance, one heartbeat, and I finally knew On that warm November night, Mechelle, I found my way to you [Verse 2] She wasn't just a beauty, she was something more A kindness in her eyes I'd never seen before The world went quiet, every other sound was gone And somewhere deep inside me, a brand new life began [Chorus] Then I saw the light across that crowded room Like heaven hung a spotlight in the smoke and the perfume One glance, one heartbeat, and I finally knew On that warm November night, Mechelle, I found my way to you [Bridge] It ain't the money, ain't the miles, ain't the name above the door It's finding the one soul that you were always searching for A heart that changes everything you thought you knew before [Verse 3] She's my peace through every storm, my steady ground The strength behind the man that I have found Mechelle believes in me when I cannot believe She's every good and holy thing this life has given me [Chorus] And I still see the light across that crowded room Like heaven hung a spotlight in the smoke and the perfume One glance, one heartbeat, and I finally knew On that warm November night, Mechelle, I found my way to you [Outro] Same warm night still lives inside my mind One look across the room, and love redrew the line
