Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are days when I'm so mystified that you have chosen me, yes
That every night before I close my eyes, I think God that I need
To know that you love me
To know that you care
To know that you'll give up yourself and you'll still ask of nothing from me
[Verse 2]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup, it overflows
[Verse 3]
You're my sunshine
All day, all night
Always, for all time
Baby
[Verse 4]
You're my heart, life
Star shinin' so bright
Your love's unconditional, so
Exceptional
[Verse 5]
Every night when I lie next to you
I lay in disbelief
That I'm worthy of deserving you
That I get to live this dream
[Verse 6]
To know that you want me
Is to know that I'm here
To know that I live in your heart is to know that I'm blessed
And it's clear
[Verse 7]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup, it overflows
[Verse 8]
You're my sunshine
All day, all night
Always, for all time
You're my
[Verse 9]
You're my heart, life
Star shining so bright
Your love's unconditional, so
Exceptional
[Verse 10]
You're my sunshine
All day, all night
Always, for all time
[Verse 11]
You're my heart, life
Star shinin' so bright
Your love's unconditional, so
[Verse 12]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup, it overflows
[Verse 13]
You're my sunshine
All day, all night
Always, for all time
[Verse 14]
You're my heart, life
Star shinin' so bright
Your love's unconditional, so
Exceptional
[Verse 15]
Exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional
