Lyrics
Ooh-woo
Ooh-woo-woo-woo
Ooh-woo-woo-woo, ooh
If I could paint a picture
Of the love I have inside
It would paint all of you and all of me
Without no thought of pride
Then maybe you would know
Exactly all the things I feel
Not just a maybe
But baby, I'm for real
'Cause I've been wishin' on the stars and hopin'
Just as it shoots across the sky
Searchin' for the so-called answers
That we're supposed to find in time (supposed to find in time)
Holding you close, not letting go
Baby, I've got to let you know
Dear lover
I hope this letter finds you
Dear lover
And that it comes in time to say "No, c'est la vie" (c'est la vie)
Baby, dear lover, listen to me
If I could write your name out
Forever in the Hall of Fame
It would be history, no mystery
Not at all in vain
I'd quote a poet on a verse
That I read when I was small
(And write your name out)
Across the sky in letters ten feet tall
'Cause I've been wishing on the rings of Saturn
Calling on Jupiter and Mars
Praying on ten zillion light years
To bring you closer to my heart (closer to my heart)
Holding you close, not letting go
Baby, I've got to let you know
Dear lover
I hope this letter finds you
Dear lover
And that it comes in time to say, "No, c'est la vie"
Baby (listen to me, darlin')
Baby (every word that I say)
Baby (I'll give you my love, ooh-woo, woo)
Baby, if you say you love me, I'll be right by your side (woo, ooh-ooh, woo)
Dare anyone to try to take you from me
All my life, straight from my heart
Dear lover, straight from my heart
Dear lover (dear lover), straight from my heart
Dear lover
Dear lover (ooh-woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dear lover (dear lover)
Dear lover (dear lover)
(Straight, straight) dear lover (straight from my heart)
Dear lover (dear lover)
Dear lover
Dear lover (oh)
