I Got A Baby
Cliff and the Virginians Edmonds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had mountains
That I've had to climb
I've been found in
A dark place from time to time
I've had those days I fell down can't find the faith
But every week has a Sunday every Sinner has amazing grace
And I Got You
Thats a fact
It'll get us through
The good times and the bad
For eternity if you ask me
I'd say that's how it ought to be
You got me
I got you
Yeah I got you
You got me too
I keep my eyes out
For little things that make you smile
Isn't love made out of details just like that
We'll go to a new place, every once in awhile
Like Waylon and Willie say in Texas
It's time to get back
And I Got You
Thats a fact
It'll get us through
The good times and the bad
For eternity if you ask me
I'd say that's how it ought to be
You got me
I got you
Yeah I got you
You got me too




I got you
You got me too
