Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
I'm so glad
I will never find another lover sweeter than you
Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover more precious than you
More precious than you
Close to me you're like my father
Close to me you're like my sister
Close to me you're like my brother (brother)
You are the only one my everything and for you this song I sing
And all my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
I said you're all that I'm thinking of, baby
Said, I promise to never fall in love with a stranger
You're all I'm thinking of, I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug
I really love you
And all (so much) my life (baby, baby) I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God (that I found you) that I finally found you
All my life (oh, girl) I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me
You're all that I ever known
When you smile, on my face, all I see is a glow
You turned my life around, you picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known
When you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down, said
You're all that I ever known
When you smile my face glows
You picked me up when I was down
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes I pray that you do love me too
All my life, I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
And all my life, I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you

Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Baby, you told me that you love me and you never leave my side
Through the bitter end, through the thick and thin
You promised me baby, that you wasn't going anywhere, yes you did
Baby, keep it real, let me know just how you feel
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love (special love) last forever more
I can't explain the way you made me feel
Every time that you told me that you loved me
And you know you did
Too many times
Just when I thought that love could never be a part of me
That's when you came along, you showed me happiness
Baby you are the best, I think you're different from the rest
And I really love you
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that I feel
Tell me it's real
For your love I will do anything
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
(I'll be there for you, baby)
This feeling that we feel
(If you be there for me, sweetheart)
Tell me that it's real
(I thought that we were meant to be)
Don't let love come just to pass us by
(For eternity, I thought you loved me baby)
Try, it's all we have to do
(And mama told me take it slow)
(Boy you just don't know, anything about love)
It's up to me and you
(If you and I were meant to be)
To make this special love last forever more
