Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you walked into my lonely life tonight
I saw my destiny, I saw eternity tonight
And the moment I held you I knew it
What we do is decided before we do it
[Verse 2]
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
[Verse 3]
Time stood still and we were lost on words to say
And though the people stared, they seemed a million miles away
All we knew it was love we were feeling
We were destined to give it a whole new meaning
[Verse 4]
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
[Verse 5]
In my heart I feel I've loved you all my life
I was in the dark, but now I think I've seen the light
I rang like a bell with your laughter
Something tells me I'll love you forever and ever
[Verse 6]
Fate, this can only be
Ooh, it's fate, this can only be
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
[Verse 7]
It's part of the plan
I'll love you forever and ever
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
