Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up this mornin', you were the first thing on my mind

I don't know were it came from, all I know is I need you in my life, yeah

You make me feel like I can be a better woman

If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place

[Verse 2]

Can I walk with you through your life?

Can I lay with you as your wife?

Can I be your friend till the end?

Can I walk with you through your life?

[Verse 3]

You've got me wonderin' if you know that I am wonderin' about you

The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine you're not feeling it too, yeah

You've known me long enough to trust that I want what's best for you

If you wanna be happy, then I am the one that you should give your heart to

[Verse 4]

Can I walk with you through your life?

Can I lay with you as your wife?

Can I be your friend till the end?

Can I walk with you through your life?

[Verse 5]

Now, everyday ain't gonna be like the summer's day

Bein' in love for real, it ain't like a movie screen

But I can tell you all the drama beside

You and I can find what the world's been lookin' for forever

Friendship and love, together

[Verse 6]

Can I walk with you through your life?

Can I lay with you as your wife?

Can I be your friend till the end?

Can I walk with you through your life?

[Verse 7]

(Can I walk with you through your life)

Till the day that the world stops spinning?

(Can I walk with you)

Till the day that my heart stops beatin'? (Beatin')

[Verse 8]

Can I, can I walk with you through your life?

(Can I walk with you)

Till the day that the birds no longer take flight?

Till the moon is underwater? (Can I walk with you?) Yeah

[Verse 9]

(Can I walk with you?)

It's the moment I've been waitin' for

(Can I walk with you?) Hey, yeah

[Verse 10]

(Can I walk with you?) Oh

(Can I walk with you?) Ooh

(Can I walk with you?) You are everything I've been lookin' for

(Can I walk with you?) Creative, intellectual, too

(Can I walk with you?) Through your life

(Can I walk with you?) As your wife, yeah, yeah

(Can I walk with you?)
