Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna thank You, Heavenly Father
For shinin' your light on me
You sent me someone who really loves me
And not just my body
[Verse 2]
He keeps me happy, so very happy, he loves me
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me
I owe my thanks to Thee
[Refrain]
I know it could not happen without Your love
Ooh, without Your love, oh
[Verse 3]
It took a long time for it to happen
But I knew those nights I prayed
That You would send me someone who's real
And not the one for play
[Verse 4]
I kept the faith and didn't worry
My nights grew longer than the days
Until one day, it really happened
He sent true love my way
[Refrain]
I know it couldn't have happened without You
Ooh, without You, ooh
[Bridge]
When the time is right, He'll fill your life with love and care
Believe, and He'll be there
Just do all right, don't do no wrong, and keep the faith
The Lord will shine His light your way
[Verse 5]
Thank you, Father
For shinin' your light on me
I prayed a long time for it to happen
I did 'cause I believe
[Verse 6]
He makes me happy, so very happy
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me
I owe my thanks to Thee
[Refrain]
I know it couldn't have happened without You
Ooh, without You, ooh
[Outro]
I know (My nights were long and blue)
It couldn't have happened without Your love (Until He sent me you)
Ooh, without Your love, oh, oh, ah
[Outro]
(My nights were long and blue) I know
It couldn't have happened without You (Until He sent me you)
Ooh, without You
[Outro]
(My nights were long and blue) I know
It couldn't have happened without You (Until He sent me you)
Ooh, without You, ooh
