LYRICS:

"Woke Up In Love"
by Waukesha's "Loose Bruce" Kerr

1
I used to chase her round the playground
Back when we were small
Later on in high school
I'd meet her in the hall

She used to tell me 'bout her boyfriends
I'd ask about girls
We grew up close together
In our small town world

CHORUS I
We were the best of friends
We knew each other from way back when
In all that time
We never crossed that line

But it changed all right
It happened overnight
We went to bed as friends and
Woke Up In Love

2
It started out so slowly
I wondered if she knew
But she came right up to me
And said, "Could this be true

I see a new look in your eyes
I hope you see in mine"
I said, "This sure is crazy
Love was just a matter of time"

CHORUS II
We were the best of friends
We knew each other from way back when
In all that time
We never crossed that line

But it changed all right
It happened just last night
We went to bed as friends and
Woke Up In Love

BRIDGE
I've waited for so long
For someone just beyond the rise
All that time the love of my life
Was right before my eyes

CHORUS III
We are the best of friends
We know each other from way back when
And all this time
We never crossed that line

But it changed all right
In the full moonlight
We went to bed as friends and
Woke Up In Love

I used to chase her round the playground...
