To You
Brian McKnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I traveled all around the world
I know what I would find
Someone half as smart
Someone half as sweet
Half as lovely and half as kind, if I was the ruler of
A kingdom with a house of wives to choose
It wouldn't even quite compare
To what I've got right here with you

So if I stumble just a bit, trying to say what's on my mind
Please excuse me, 'cause I never felt the way that I feel inside
It's possible
I may have finally have found my dream come true
There could never be another you

The stars are bright tonight
They know you're mine, all mine
I knew that it would be alright when my other dreams fell through
And for this very night, I've waited all my life
Standing straight and tall
I'll give my all to you

So please excuse me if I
Stumble just a bit
Trying to say what's on my mind
Please excuse me, 'cause I never felt the way that I feel inside
It's possible
I may have finally found my dream come true




There could never be another you
There could never be another you
