I met a man one sunny day
But I didn’t like him right away
A detox center is where we were
He happened to come in with her
To me she wasn’t pretty at all
Compared to her I was a doll
Then one day she was gone
That was the light of a new dawn
Slowly I started to like this man
I eventually became his biggest fan
This man won my heart
My heart he holds when we’re apart
Sent to me from the man above
For him I’ll always have eternal love

Soulmates are like two beautiful doves on a warm summer’s day
They are perfect for each other in every single way
Soulmates are like roses so beautiful and sweet
They will work through utter and absolute defeat
Soulmates are like rain drops
That fall and kiss you from the roof tops
Soulmates are like a calm ocean bay
They help guide each other through every single day
Soulmates love each other to the end of time
They’re with one another until the clock’s final chime
Soulmates together until the end
There’s no problem that they can’t possibly mend
Soulmates can outstand the stormiest weather
That’s why soulmates are together forever
