Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Behold, I saw you standing there before me
And now I've found the wonder of my glory
But until then, my dear I'll never have to worry
Because I'll have you to be, to be my bride

And now, now that you're in my embrace
Say you're gonna thrill me
Thrill me with your little baby face
I wanna tell you, tell you darling this is no disgrace
Because I love you and you love me too

Behold, I saw you standing there before me
And now I've found the wonder of my glory
But until then, my dear I'll never have to worry
Because I love you and you love me too

And now, now that you're in my embrace
Say you're gonna thrill me
Thrill me with your little baby face
And I wanna tell you, tell you darling this is no disgrace
Because I'll have you to be, to be my bride

Won't you come a little closer and I want you




Want you to be right by my side, ooh
Because I need you, need you oh so bad
