Story Behind The Song

I met my wife, walking door to door selling roofs. She prayed that GOD would bring her the love of her life to her front door. Well she got me instead, but you see where I'm going with this...

Lyrics

If You Walked Right By My Heart
copyright 2010 by John Sparkman

Starin' out the window, watchin' life pass right on by
I'm reminded of the time that your eyes looked into mine
Right then and there time stood still and the world refused to spin
As you opened up the door to my heart and walked right in

And all at once I knew
What I was supposed to do
And finally life had meaning
But while I was daydreaming
It scared me to think that our love might never start
If you'd have walked right by my heart

Watchin' all the people lookin' right into my eyes
Wonderin' what the chances are that you would stop on mine
And if I had it all to live again, there's nothin' different that I'd do
'Cause what if I was late that day when I bumped right into you

And all at once I knew
What I was supposed to do
And finally life had meaning
But while I was daydreaming
It scared me to think that our love might never start
If you'd have walked right by my heart

The stars aligned
The clouds rolled back
And the world began to sing
And a thousand angels danced on high
When you looked at me... When you looked at me

And all at once I knew
What I was supposed to do
And finally life had meaning
But while I was daydreaming
It scared me to think that our love might never start
If you'd have walked right by my heart

If you walked right by my heart
