Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes that's you
And all you show
It's simply true
I smell your breath
It makes me cry
I wonder how
I've lived my life
[Chorus]
'Cause without you
How did I get through
All of my days
Without you
Now living with you
See everything true
My baby it's you
My baby, my baby, my baby
With no words at all
So tiny and small
In love I fall so deep, so deep
My precious love
Sent from above
My baby boo
Gotta thank you, gotta thank you
[Chorus: x2]
