I woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Another cup of coffee
And then you appeared

A crystal vision
Shining through the rain
Smiling through my window pane

In the morning traffic
I turn on the radio
And the song that’s playing
Is one that we used to know

When we were dancing slowly
Under the mirror ball
You were singing to me
I felt like we had it all

It was our adventure
I won’t let it slip away
Gonna make it like it was before this day

I will be your witness
(That much I can do)
That much I can do
(I wanna tell the world)
I just want to tell the world
How much I’m missing you

I will be your witness
(Don’t you know it’s true)
Don’t you know it’s true
(I wanna testify)
I just want to testify
How much I’m loving you

Did you ever notice
Just what you mean to me
You’re the piece of the puzzle
That makes my world complete

I need your freedom
I need your company
Let me tell you how it’s going to be

I will be your witness
(That much I can do)
That much I can do
(I wanna tell the world)
 I just want to tell the world
How much I’m missing you

I’ll be your alibi tonight
I’ll make everything all right
I will be your defense
When life makes no sense
Baby you just wait and see
It’s a crazy crazy world

Woke up this morning
Wishing you were here
Poured a cup of coffee
And then you appeared

Such a great adventure
I won’t let it slip away
You know I need you every night and every day

I will be your witness
(That much I can do) That much I can do
(I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world
How much I’m missing you

I will be your witness
(Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true
(I wanna testify) I just want to testify
How much I’m loving you

I will be your witness (I will be your witness)
What else can I do (What else can I do)
I just want to tell the world
How much I’m loving you

Interpretation 

Played out like a courtroom drama, I am a witness to our love. I can't get you out of my mind. At breakfast, it's as if you're looking at me through the window. Driving to work, the song on the radio is one we both love. I remember dancing with you, singing along. Lets do it again. I can't wait to get on the witness stand and tell the world how much I love you.
