She Approached From Behind (Country Rock / Pop Anthem)

I was surfing through life with a clear easy mind

No plans to chase just killing time.

Went to college homecoming familiar faces all around

The bonfire was blazing music shaking the ground.

Then through the laughter and the autumn night

She approached from behind and stole my heart.

She showed up smiling with that Carolina grace

A spark in her laughter sunlight on her face.

Didn't know what hit me but it struck real hard-

She approached from behind and stole my heart.

Tiny frame bright eyes that cut the dark

Smile so easy it left a mark.

Couldn't tell if it's fate or that southern charm

But her laugh's been echoing in my calm.

She approached from behind and stole my heart

Didn't see it coming she played it smart.

A southern smile in that campus field

She broke through walls I thought were sealed.

In the glow of that fire under Midwestern stars

She approached from behind and stole my heart.

Back in the ocean can't shake the thought

Of that night in the field where the fire burned hot.

The stars were singing and the air was sweet

Her voice still echoes to the rhythm of the beat.

I wonder if she knew or just played the part

Was it southern kindness or a work of art?

Does she ever think of that spark we lit?

'Cause I still replay every second of it.

I surf at Turquoise waters see her eyes in every tide

That smile rolls in like the shoreline's sigh.

Maybe it was chance maybe it was the stars

But she's loopin' through my head like the waves rewind.

I travel the world I surf through the blue

But no ocean compares to meeting you.

I travel the world and ride each wave

But her southern charm still makes me crave-

The night she approached from behind and stole my heart.

Guess that's how southern charm starts-

She approached from behind... and stole my heart.
