You Make Me Feel Brand New
The Stylistics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new
My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you
Life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you
For having faith in me
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you

I sang this in karaoke in the bathroom and it got me emotional. I sang this in my uncle's memory. He passed away from cancer back in 2018.
Rest in Peace Uncle Elliot
