Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No heartaches felt
No long and lonely nights of waiting
Finally won me happiness
That's all rolled up in you
[Verse 2]
And now with you as inspiration
I look toward a destination
Sunny bright, that once before was blue
[Verse 3]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you
And I know you love me
[Verse 4]
So take my hand
I'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
[Verse 5]
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you, I know I'll never have to pass
The high road for the low
[Verse 6]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you
And I know you love me
[Verse 7]
Play
Yeehaw!
Oh, picking lizard
[Verse 8]
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you
And I know you love me
[Verse 9]
Yes, I love you
And I know you love me
