Girl, it's been a long, long time comin' (yes it has...)
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait (yeah)
yeah, It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up
its gates for me and you (yeah)

Chorus -
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you (yeah)
{I've got you}
And you've got me too
{me too}
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true ( yeah)
That someone like you loves me too, yeah
(aaa...yeah, yeah..baby, yeah...ooo)

Ooo...Girl, I think that you're truly somethin' (yes, you are)
Yes, and you're, you're every bit of a dream come true (yes you are, yes..)
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you (ohh...ooo...oohhh)

(repeat chorus)
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you (yeah)
{that I've got you}
And you've got me too (babe)
{me too}
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true (yeah)
{I dont believe it}
That someone like you loves me too,

To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep (yess..)
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
{It's only right} its only right {in my life} that you be in my life
Right here with me, oh baby, baby (yeahhhh,yeahhh, eeaahh)
(sax instrumental)
Doo..ooo..doo...oooo

(repeat chorus)
I'll tell you girl...
that every time I close my eyes...
