Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know that I need your love
You got that hold over me
As long as I've got your love
You know I'll never leave
I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
[Verse 2]
And it's been you, oh, baby
Right down the line
[Verse 3]
I know how much I lean on you
And only you can see
The changes I've been goin' through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a northern star
The brightest light that shines
[Verse 4]
And it's been you, oh, baby
Right down the line
[Verse 5]
I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of tellin' you that every day
I'm lovin' you so much more
[Verse 6]
'Cause you believed in me
Through my darkest night
Put something inside of me
You brought  me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
[Verse 7]
And it was you, oh, baby
Right down the line
[Verse 8]
I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of tellin' you that every day
I'm lovin' you so much more
[Verse 9]
If I should doubt myself
If I'm losin' ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
[Verse 10]
And it's been you, oh, baby
Right down the line
It's been you, oh, baby
Right down the line
It's been you, it's been you
Right down the line
