Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to thank you
Heavenly Father for shining your light on me
You sent me someone who really loves me
And not just my body
He keeps me happy so very happy
And he loves me
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time since I had someone who loves me
I owe my thanks to Thee

I know it could not happen without your love
Ooh without your love

It took a long time for it to happen
But I knew those nights I prayed
That you would send me someone who's real
And not no one for play
I kept the faith
And didn't worry
My nights grew longer than the days
Until one day
It really happen
Sent true love my way
I know it couldn't have happened without you
Ooh without you

When the time is right
He'll fill your life with love and care
Believe
And He'll be there
Just do all right
Don't do no wrong
And the keep the faith
The Lord will shine his light your way
Thank you Father
For shining your light on me
I prayed long time
For it to happen
I did because I believe
He makes me happy
So very happy
I don't know how to be
It's been a long time
Since I had someone who love me
I owe my thanks to Thee

I know it couldn't have happened without you
Ooh without you
I know it couldn't have happened without your love
Ooh without your love





(My nights were long and blue, until he sent me you)
