Iyawo Mi
Timi Dakolo Lyrics

Like an angel in the morning
Comparing the beauty of the person to that of an angel and expressing admiration for that beauty.

Shooting star across the night
The person is as rare and beautiful as a shooting star in the night sky.

The most beautiful girl I've seen in all my life
The person is the most beautiful person the singer has ever seen in their entire life.

Every second spent with you is like a day that starts brand new
Being with the person makes time feel new and rejuvenating.

Girl I'm so amazed at all the things you do
Expressing amazement and admiration for the things the person does.

Yes I wanna build my whole world around you
Wanting to center their entire world around the person.

So I promise you forever and for always
Making a commitment to love the person forever.

Girl you are my sunshine baby don't you go away
Comparing the person to sunshine and not wanting them to leave.

Iyawo mi
My wife

Ololufe mi
My love

Ore mi
My friend

Alayo mi
My joy

I hear music in your words
Expressing how the person's words sound like music to them.

And in the way you call my name
Finding the way the person says their name to be beautiful.

When you're by my side I can't do anything
Feeling like they can accomplish anything with the person by their side.

You're my best friend
The person is not only their lover but also their best friend.

Without you no one else will do
Feeling like they can't be with anyone else but the person.

Through thick and thin I know we'll make it through
Being confident that they can overcome any obstacle together.

My sugar, my honey, my lover
Expressing love and endearment for the person.

I place no woman above you
Making it clear that the person is the most important person in their life.

And there's no one that comes close
Feeling like no one else can compare to the person.

And when there's nothing more to say
Ending the song with a declaration of eternal love.

Forever and ever and ever and ever
Expressing that their love will last forever.
