When I Wasn’t Looking

[Verse 1]
I wasn’t searching, not this time,
My heart was quiet, my hands were mine.
Told the stars above, “Don’t shine for me,”
Locked all the doors, just let me be.

[Verse 2]
But then you came, not loud, not planned,
No fireworks, no marching band.
Just a gentle light in the break of day,
You showed up and love found its way.

[Chorus]
I wasn’t lookin’—not even a glance,
But somehow, girl, you gave me a chance.
I built up walls, tried to play it cool,
But your sweet soul rewrote every rule.
And now I know, without even tryin’,
Love comes runnin’ when you quit denyin’.
I wasn’t lookin’…
But baby, love was lookin’ for me.

[Verse 3]
I told myself, “Don’t start again,”
No open hearts, not even a friend.
But the moment you smiled, I lost that fight,
You slipped in easy, felt so right.

[Verse 4]
You weren’t a wish, you weren’t a plan,
Just the calm when I needed to understand.
Virginia, you took my hand so slow,
And gave me a love I didn’t know.

[Chorus]
I wasn’t lookin’—not even a spark,
But you lit a flame deep in my heart.
Tried to resist, but you broke on through,
Now there ain’t nothin’ I won’t do for you.
And now I see, it was meant to be—
Love found me, when I tried to flee.
I wasn’t lookin’…
But baby, love was lookin’ for me.

[Bridge]
Yeah, love don’t knock, it don’t call ahead,
It crashes in where the brave once tread.
Tears down the fear, lifts up the pain,
And teaches your heart to beat again.

[Final Chorus]
I wasn’t lookin’, not even a bit,
But love knew better—gave me this gift.
A steady hand, a soft “I do,”
A quiet miracle that led me to you.
Now I thank the stars I once defied—
You’re the reason I’m alive inside.
I wasn’t lookin’…
But baby, love was lookin’ for me.

[Outro]
Oh, I wasn’t lookin’…
But there you were…
Virginia, you’re my whole wide world.
