Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I need your love
You got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
[Chorus]
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman
Right down the line
[Verse 2]
I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern star
[Chorus]
The brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman
Right down the line
[Verse 3]
I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of tellin' you
That every day, I'm lovin' you
[Verse 4]
So much more
'Cause you believed in me
Through my darkest night
Put somethin' better inside of me
You brought me into the light
I threw away all those crazy dreams
[Chorus]
I put them all behind
And it was you, woman
Right down the line
[Verse 5]
I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin' you everything
I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way of tellin' you
That every day, I'm lovin' you
[Verse 6]
So much more
If I should doubt myself
If I'm losin' ground
I won't turn to someone else
They'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
[Chorus]
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman
Right down the line
