The song How Was I To Know is performed by John Michael Montgomery in the album named The Very Best of John Michael Montgomery in the year 2003 .
Well, I hoped and I prayed, I loved you from afar
And I cried and I dreamed, wished on every star
But nothin' I'd do, got me closer to you
So I locked all my feelings inside
Then one night across a crowded room
You looked my way, your eyes held something new
You walked right up to me, smiled tenderly
And your words came as such a surprise
How was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
And how could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
Into my soul, how was I to know
You took my hand and led me out the door
We talked and we laughed 'bout all the times before
Two lonely people so much in love
Pa*sed like ships in the night
Well, how was I to know
You never let it show
What a beauty like you might see
In a poor boy like me
And how could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
Into my soul, how was I to know
How could I have seen
You walk out of my dreams
Shine your light on my sleepin' heart
Into my soul, how was I, how was I to know
