Almost Didn't Recognize You

Woke up early to my consternation I had planned on sleeping long Wasn’t looking for an invitation To the breaking of the dawn But the sky became a burning ember And I could not look away With the moon I made a slow surrender To the glory of the day That was when I realized I almost didn’t recognize You Always such a sweet surprise Every time I recognize You I was standing at the intersection Waiting for the light to change There were passersby in each direction All just faces without names Suddenly it seemed my vision shifted Until right before my eyes It was just as if a curtain lifted And every stranger seemed to shine That was when I realized I almost didn’t recognize You Always such a sweet surprise Every time I recognize You Well I thought You were mostly incognito I could not have been more wrong The whole universe is Your cathedral And every heartbeat is Your song I can’t count how many times I almost didn’t recognize You Always such a sweet surprise Every time I recognize You
