At the Stroke of You (retro R&B)

I was alone, lost out at sea
I hummed the blues far and wide
There was no spark, no catchy tune
And no one to toss me a line
I wanted to kiss love goodbye
So I sailed along, craving a song
Or a note in a bottle, long overdue
To reach out to me, like a warm ocean breeze
And save me from the rocks of ruin
Then you paddled by, you reached out and I...
At the stroke of you (well I fell in love)
At the stroke of you (You were all I could think of)
At the stroke of you (I became the happiest man on this earth)
At the stroke of you
So now I can race, with your soft embrace
Your wave arrived just in time
And I'm makin' music, joy's not elusive
Your loving words help me shine
And just like the hand that climbs up the clock
At the stroke of you (well I fell in love)
At the stroke of you (You were all I could think of)
At the stroke of you (I became the happiest man on this earth)
At the stroke of you
You touched me with your patience
You touched me with your grace
Laid your hands upon my shoulders
Lifted me to a better place
So we sail along, chanting our song
Love is our ship, and time's our friend
We'll pull up the anchor, the sea, we will thank her
And if a sheet tears, we'll stop to mend
Cuz your hand was there when I needed some care
At the stroke of you
