Never Thought
Bebe & Cece Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanted it to be
Wanted it to be
Wanted it to be

Oh, Never thought that I
Never thought it'd happen
Love rescued me
Filled my heart with passion
Never thought it would happen to me

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Right here, here's where I belong
Finally back from nowhere
Unfair, that's how it seemed to be
A smile in me was so rare
Until the remedy of You
I never thought living, yes I did

Inside, I couldn't see the light
the darkness was so deep in me
I almost lost the fight
Victory is so sweet
Because the miracle of You has given me meaning

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh I
Never thought I'd be so happy
Never thought I'd be so happy
Never thought I'd be so happy
Oh, oh, oh I
Never thought I'd be so happy
Never thought I'd be so happy
Never thought I'd be so happy

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I tried clinging to yesterday
When all I need is right now
My life is better in every way
Your love has turned me around
And these moments spent with You
Has filled my heart forever

Ooo, ooo

Sometimes it's better just to cry
And leave the past behind
I don't mind, the tears aren't made to last
They fade fast and you'll find
What I found in You
Something to believe in

[Chorus]

I was just about to give up
And just about to give in
I know just what it feels like
To have to start all over again
And if somewhere you hear me now
I want to hear you say
I never thought that I
Could ever feel this way
Love conquers all
It wiped my tears away
It opened up my heart
And now I can say





[Chorus]
