The Table Meant For Two

Lyrics as sung in the video

[Verse 1] Somewhere between the mountains and the sea, On a ship bound north through Alaska’s dreams, Two strangers woke that morning unaware That love was waiting at a table there. She searched the room for somewhere we could stay, You smiled and said, “Of course,” and made our day. Just breakfast, just strangers passing through, But somehow that table was meant for two. [Pre-Chorus] We talked like we had met before, And neither knew what lay in store. Among the mountains, sea and sky, A simple hello changed our lives. [Chorus] From an empty chair to a love so true, From Alaska skies to me and you, Across the oceans, across the miles, I found my home inside your smile. Who would have known what love could do? When I sat at that table next to you. Of all the places, of all the views, Brett, my favourite part of Alaska… was you. [Verse 2] The days grew shorter, but we stayed up late, Sharing stories as if tempting fate. Shows and dinners, laughter through the night, Something between us just felt right. Then came the moment we both had to leave, One last goodnight, one kiss to believe. The ship sailed on, but our story stayed, And every single day, the messages came. [Pre-Chorus] Singapore and Australia, worlds apart, But distance never changed our hearts. Every call brought you closer to me, Till “you and I” became “we.” [Chorus] From an empty chair to a love so true, From Alaska skies to me and you, Across the oceans, across the miles, I found my home inside your smile. Who would have known what love could do? When I sat at that table next to you. Of all the places, of all the views, My favourite part of Alaska… was you. [Verse 3] Then you came to Singapore and met my world, No longer just a travelling boy and girl. Family dinners, journeys side by side, Another cruise with you there by my side. And on the final night of twenty-five, You asked the question that changed our lives. One little ring, one very easy “Yes,” And somehow life just made perfect sense. [Bridge – softer] Then you found a little place for us, Nothing grand, but more than enough. A door to open, a place to start, A home built gently, heart by heart. And maybe fate has a sense of humour too, Because of all the streets it could lead us to… After oceans, countries and everything we’d been through, We made our home on Love Street… Me and you. [Final Chorus – big emotional build] From an empty chair to a life brand new, From Alaska skies to Love Street views, Across the oceans, through every mile, I’d choose this journey every time. And when forever finally comes into view, I’ll still remember where I first found you. Not in a fairytale, not something we knew, Just one empty chair… At a table meant for two. [Outro – soft piano and strings] So if someday they ask us when we knew, How one small moment became me and you, I’ll smile and say, “Love found us out of the blue…” On an Alaska morning, At a table meant for two. And after all the miles that brought me to you, Brett, I finally came home… On Love Street with you.
