Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've had a hard time
You and I
Life sent us through some changes
Oh, but somehow, we got by
[Verse 2]
A winding road, a heavy load
Is nothing new, you see
We know that through the bad times
I'll have you, and you'll have me
[Verse 3]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become as one
[Verse 4]
If we just keep this love alive
As time goes on, this joy we know
Can't help but grow inside
Some people spend a lifetime
Lookin' for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad that we're
[Verse 5]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become as one
[Verse 6]
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your only one
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your one and only
One and only
[Verse 7]
Some people spend a lifetime
Lookin' for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad that we're
[Verse 8]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever (Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become
[Verse 9]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever (Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become (Ooh, yes we have)
We two have just become (Oh, yes we have)
[Verse 10]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become (We are, we are, we are)
[Verse 11]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become (We are, we are, we are)
[Verse 12]
United together (United together)
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become
[Verse 13]
United together
I've finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
