Every Time I Close My Eyes
Babyface ft. Mariah Carey & Kenny G Lyrics

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
It's been a while since we met and got together.

But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
Even though we had to wait, it was worth it because we have each other now.

It feels like springtime in winter
Being with you is like experiencing spring in the midst of winter, a refreshing change.

It feels like Christmas in June
Being with you feels like a special holiday, even when it's not a holiday season.

It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you
Being together feels like we have been blessed with something divine.

And every time I close my eyes
Whenever I pause to think, reflect or meditate, I am grateful for your presence.

I thank the lord that I've got you
I express gratitude for the gift of having you in my life.

And you've got me too
I acknowledge that our relationship is a two-way street and that we have each other.

And every time I think of it
Whenever I remember our relationship, I am filled with joy and appreciation.

I pinch myself 'cause
I can hardly believe how lucky I am to be with someone like you.

I don't believe it's true
It's hard to believe that someone as wonderful as you could love me back just as much.

That someone like you
I feel undeserving of someone as amazing as you, yet grateful to have you.

Loves me too
I am grateful that you love me back and that we share this mutual love.

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
I admire and appreciate everything about you, and think you're really special.

And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true
You are everything I've ever wanted and I feel lucky to be with you.

With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
Being with you feels so perfect that it's like the weather is always sunny and clear.

The sun always shines when I'm near you
Being close to you brings light and warmth into my life and makes everything seem better.

It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you
Finding someone like you is a rare and special blessing that I thank the universe for.

To think of all the nights
When I reflect on my past, I realize how much I needed you and how grateful I am to have you now.

I've cried myself to sleep
There were times when I felt alone and cried myself to sleep, but having you now has made everything better.

You really oughtta know
I want you to understand just how much you mean to me.

How much you mean to me
You are so important and special to me, and I cherish our relationship.

It's only right that you be in my life right here with me
I feel like we are supposed to be together and it's just natural that you are in my life.

Oh baby, baby
I am so in love with you and I want to express it in any way I can.
