The Only Exception

I told myself I’d never let love in,
to stand on guard and not give in.
I told myself I’d find a way
to be alone and keep it that way.

But you came along
and changed everything
with a smile on your face
and your breath full of song...

And you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception,
my only exception.

When days faded into sweet nights full of lullaby
I told myself to let you go, to simply say goodbye.
I thought it would be easier to leave and move on.
But I turned on the radio, your song was heard upon...

And you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception,
my only exception.

You make it easier, oh so much easier
to live this life and realize
I don’t want to do this without you by my side
because

You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception,
my only exception.

And you are [But you came along ] the only exception.
You are [and changed everything] the only exception.
You are [with a smile on your face] the only exception.
My only [and your breath full of song...] exception.
