Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life
[Chorus]
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
When you
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby, I'm so thankful I found you
[Verse 2]
I will give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
Oh no
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
'Cause without you beside me I can't survive
Don't wanna try
If you keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be alright
'Cause I need you in my life
[Chorus]
Thank God I found you
I'm beggin' you, please try
I was lost without you
So lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
'Cause baby, I'm so thankful I found you
And I'm so thankful I found you
Oh
[Bridge]
See, I was so desolate before you came to me
Looking back
Looking back
I guess
It shows that we were destined
To shine after the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel
This way
This way
[Outro]
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
And every dream somehow became
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
My whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
See baby, I'm so thankful I found you
Thankful, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Yes, I'm overwhelmed
My baby, I'm so thankful I found
So thankful I found
You
You, you, you, you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby, I'm so thankful I found you
Found you
