It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it 
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe, 
You're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me 
As I look at you tonight

I tip my hat, to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything, when I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face, oh how you shine
It takes my breath away, just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve, a treasure like you
There really are no words, to show my gratitude

I tip my hat, to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything, when I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

It was no accident, me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
