Never Thought
Bebe & Cece Winans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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]

I am not bothered by the tears since they are temporary
They fade fast and you'll find
The pain from the past will disappear eventually
What I found in You

Something to believe in
A belief to hold onto
I was just about to give up
I was very close to losing hope
And just about to give in
And almost about to surrender to my struggles
I know just what it feels like
I understand how it feels
To have to start all over again
To have to start fresh from the beginning
And if somewhere you hear me now
If You can hear me now somewhere
I want to hear you say
I desire You to tell me
I never thought that I
I never expected or believed that I
Could ever feel this way
Could ever feel this much happiness and love
Love conquers all
Love is powerful enough to overcome any difficulty or struggle
It wiped my tears away
It removed my sadness and pain
It opened up my heart
It allowed me to love and be loved
And now I can say
And now I can confidently express
Oh, oh, oh I
An expression of happiness and excitement
Never thought I'd be so happy
I never expected to feel this much joy and contentment
Never thought I'd be so happy
I never expected to feel this much joy and contentment
Never thought I'd be so happy
I never expected to feel this much joy and contentment
