It was early in the morning
I was in my car again
And another day was dawning
As the mist was rolling in
I was driving down the coastline
With no special place to go
I was looking for a reason to keep
Driving down that road

The reason was you
The reason was you
You carried me through
The reason was you

I was headed nowhere special
Just away from all the old
I was feeling worn and tired
From my years out in the cold
And the radio was playing
All the songs from long ago
They reminded me of all the good things
That we used to know

The reason was you
The reason was you
You carried me through
The reason was you

Time will wait for no one
Soon enough it will pass me by
And even if I wonder
I won't ask the question why
With a trust in what I'm feeling
And a faith in God above
I'll take what I've been given
And I'll treasure it with love

The reason was you
The reason was you
You carried me through
The reason was you
