Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl
It's been a long, long time comin' yes it has
But I
I know that it's been worth the wait yeah
Yeah
It feels like spring time in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven
Has opened up it's gates for me and you yeah
[Verse 2]
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that
I've got you yeah
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true yeah
That someone like you loves me too yeah
[Verse 3]
Aye, yeah baby
Yeah
Ooh girl
I think that you're truly somethin'
Yes you are
Yes
And you're
You're every bit of a dream come true yeah
With you baby
It never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing
That I have found somebody like you
[Verse 4]
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that
I've got you yeah
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true yeah
That someone like you loves me too
[Verse 5]
To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep, yes
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right
That you be in my life right with to me
Oh baby, baby yeah
[Verse 6]
I pray you girl that every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that
I've got you baby
And you've got me too baby
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true
That someone like you
Loves me too yeah yeah
Loves me too
