Meant To Be

(Music & Lyrics © Ronald D. Crowder)

ASCAP 

Some songs I write from experience, and some are purely fictional. This one is the latter. Oftentimes I can take on the role of an actor when I am writing a song. Lyrically, I was imagining an almost too perfect relationship. I had certainly never had a relationship like the one I laid out in the lyrics. But I let myself go with it and imagine what it would be like to be in a relationship where things just worked. Where we could each accept and embrace each other for who we are. And I wrote about day to day scenarios where maybe having a relationship like that might be a refuge in the midst of an unpredictable world.

Listen to song

I can’t pretend I ever knew the combination 

That opened up your heart and made you look my way  

But now I find sometimes in a simple conversation 

Before I even speak you know the words I’m gonna say

 

I guess you could say that we’re in tune 

In harmony it seems in almost everything we do 

We’re two of a kind 

And I’m glad that you are mine     

Must be some cosmic act of fate 

Between you and me 

The chemistry is plain to see     

You and I were meant to be 

Sometimes it seems the world is hanging in the balance 

Bad news travels fast and even knocks upon the door 

But when I’m with you I find a refuge from the madness 

A place where I belong no matter what life has in store 

You take me for all that I am 

For better or worse you seem to understand 

Wherever we go 

I’m certain that I know 

You are the reason to my rhyme 

I think you agree 

We go together naturally 

You and I were meant to be 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

De, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de, de 

When we’re together a smile is enough 

Without a word we can share our love 

What I mean is whenever you’re with me     

I know we were meant to be 

Uh huh 

We’re two of a kind 

And I’m glad that you are mine 

It’s undeniably confirmed 

Between you and me 

The chemistry is plain to see 

You and I were meant to be 

You and I were meant to be 

You and I were meant to be
