Lyrics

Waking Up With The One You Love

Met an old man in a café when I was making my rounds
Everybody said he was the richest man in town
I offered to buy his coffee, and with a big smile he said yes
I said sir can I ask you the secret of your success

He said son
I thank God for what's come to pass
For everyday on the right side of the grass
And it don't matter all this money I got wouldn't fill your cup
I stood my ground when push came to shove
And the only thing better than waking up
Is waking up with the one you love

Met a young man some years later when I was making my rounds
He said everybody says you're the richest man in town
He offered to buy my coffee, and with a big smile I said yes
He said sir could I ask you the secret of your success

And I said son
I thank God for what's come to pass
For everyday on the right side of the grass
And it don't matter all this money I got wouldn't fill your cup
I stood my ground when push came to shove
And the only thing better than waking up
Is waking up with the one you love

Met The Maker up in Heaven and I had just arrived
He said I know you were a very rich man in your life
But you kept your eyes on Me, and with a big smile I said yes
He said I guess you know that's the secret of your success

He said son
You thanked Me for what had come to pass
For every day on the right side of the grass
And you knew all the money you had wouldn't fill your cup
You stood your ground when push came to shove
You knew the only thing better than waking up
Was waking up with the One you love
You stood your ground when push came to shove
You knew the only thing better than waking up
Was waking up with the One you love
Welcome home son, to the One you love
