Song Lyric Sunday was created by blogger Helen Vahdati. Click here for guidelines.
This week’s theme is “find/found.” Today’s pick was on a cassette of love songs my late husband sent me soon after his marriage proposal.
At the time, we were living about five hundred miles apart; he in Fowler, Colorado, and me here in Sheridan, Wyoming. After meeting through a magazine, we started out as friends, corresponding by email daily and sometimes by phone, then boom!
In January of 2005, he was sure he’d found someone. Because I wasn’t expecting it, his proposal was a shock. It took me a while to realize I’d found someone too. You can read more about this in My Ideal Partner.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the song. If you haven’t found someone yet, maybe you will someday. Who knows?

I Finally Found Someone–Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams
Lyrics Courtesy of Google
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It’s funny how from simple things, the best things begin
This time it’s different, dah dah dah dah
It’s all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It’s better than it’s ever been
‘Cause we can talk it through
Oh, my favorite line was “Can I call you sometime?”
It’s all you had to say to take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
‘Cause whatever I do, it’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, oh, someone
I finally found someone, oh
Did I keep you waiting, I didn’t mind
I apologize, baby, that’s fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear, isn’t it too tight?
You’re exceptional, I can’t wait for the rest of my life
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
‘Cause whatever I do, it’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, oh, someone
I finally found someone, oh
Whatever I do, it’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
