When I Wasn’t Looking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh, I wasn’t lookin’…

But there you were…

Virginia, you’re my whole wide world.
