I’m So Glad Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so glad you didn’t take that plane
I'm so glad I got you back again
You were right, and I was wrong
I'm so glad your love was so strong
I would’ve been so sad
But you didn't leave, and baby
I'm so glad

[Verse 2]
It's morning when I open my eyes
I'm so glad, still laying by my side
Now I see how I love you so
Only a fool could have let you go
I didn't know the good thing I had
But sit in front of me, and baby I'm so glad
(I'm so glad baby)
(I’m so glad baby)

[Verse 3]
If I had let you take it away
We would have lived to regret it someday
Maybe the hurt would be twice as bad
But you made me happy, and I’m so glad
(I'm so glad baby)
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
(Baby baby baby, I’m so glad)
(Baby baby baby)

[Verse 4]
You were right, and I was wrong
I so glad your love was so strong
I would have been so sad
But you didn't leave me, and baby I'm so glad
(I'm so glad, baby)

[Outro]
I’m so glad you didn't take that plane
Oh baby, I got you in my arms again
Every morning when I open my eyes
You're laying there by my side
Oh baby, I'm so glad

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
