THE PUZZLE
Words and Music by Michael J. Hamilton

VERSE 1
I AWOKE TO A SONG OF LOVE THIS MORNING
AS I WATCHED THE SUN LAY ACROSS YOUR FACE
AND THE MELODY CAME ONTO ME SO STRONGLY
AND THE WORDS ALL SEEMED TO FALL IN PLACE
AS I WATCHED THE SUN DANCE ACROSS YOUR SLEEPING FACE

AND IT BROUGHT TO MIND THOSE TIMES I HAVE KNOWN NOW
SO UNLUCKY IN MY LIFE AND LOVE THE SAME
TOO MANY TIME THAT I'VE BEEN IN THAT SAME PLACE NOW
WELL WHO'S TO SAY LIFE IS ALWAYS A WINNING GAME
WHEN EVERYDAY THE RULES SOMEHOW WILL CHANGE

CHORUS 1
I AM NOT THE ANSWER HOW TO CHANGE THOSE RULES A BIT
THERE'S FAR TOO MANY PIECES TO THE PUZZLE TO ALL FIT

VERSE 2
AND YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN AWAY TOO LONG NOW
FAR FROM YOUR LOVING ARMS AND YOUR LOVING HEART
AS I UNDRESS AND SLIP BETWEEN THE SHEETS BESIDE YOU
IT'S LIKE YOU AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN APART
LIKE THE LOST PIECE TO THE PUZZLE OF MY HEART

DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'M GONNA BE AROUND HERE
AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ROAD WILL CALL MY NAME
LET'S MAKE THE MOST OF THIS TIME WE HAVE TOGETHER
SO COME ON BRING YOUR WARM BODY OVER HERE
AND HOLD ME CLOSE AND TELL ME OF YOUR FEARS

CHORUS 2
SOMETIMES WHEN I'M LOOKING BACK ON ALL THOSE FEARS I HAD
I SHAKE MY HEAD AND LAUGH OUT LOUD CAUSE THEY WERE NOT SO BAD

VERSE 3
THIS SONG OF LOVE I'LL SING TO YOU THIS MORNING
THIS SONG OF LOVE OH I'LL SING TO YOU TONIGHT
AND I WILL CARRY THIS SONG OF LOVE TO HEAVEN
THIS SONG OF LOVE WON'T TRAVEL OUT OF SIGHT
AS THE PIECES TO THE PUZZLE FALL IN PLACE TONIGHT

CHORUS 3
SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE LOOKING BACK ON ALL THOSE FEARS WE'VE HAD
WE'LL JUST LAUGH AND SHAKE OUR HEADS CAUSE THEY WERE NOT SO BAD

I AWOKE TO A SONG OF LOVE THIS MORNING
