Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Never was the kind to think about dressin' in white
Wasn't waitin' on a prince to come ridin' into my life
Thought I was happy on my own
Till you came and proved me wrong
[Verse 3]
I finally found
What I never knew I always wanted
I couldn't see
I was blind till my eyes were opened
I didn't know there was a hole
Somethin' missin' in my soul
Till you filled it up
With your love, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Never pictured myself singin' lullabies
Sittin' in a rockin' chair in the middle of the night
In the quiet, in the dark, you're stealin' every bit of my heart
With your daddy's eyes, what a sweet surprise
[Verse 5]
And now I'm holdin'
What I never knew I always wanted
I couldn't see
I was blind till my eyes were opened
I didn't know there was a hole
Somethin' missin' in my soul
Till you filled it up
Oh, with your love
[Verse 6]
Life has a way
Of showin' you just what you need
And who you were made to be
Yeah
[Verse 7]
I finally found
What I never knew I always wanted
I couldn't see
I was blind till my eyes were opened
I didn't know there was a hole
Somethin' missin' in my soul
Till you filled it up
With your love
Yeah, you filled it up
With your love, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
I never was the kind to think about dressin' in white
I never pictured myself singin' lullabies
