ONCE OH WHAT A LONELY MAN WAS I, UNTIL YOU CAME INTO
MY LIFE & BABY THEN YOU MADE ME SMILE AGAIN
NOW NO LONGER SAD IT SEEMS THAT MY OUTLOOK ON LIFE’S
BEEN CHANGED CAUSE DAY & NIGHT YOU’VE BEEN, MY LOVER
& MY FRIEND

NOW ONCE I WAS JUST HOLDIN’ ON TO MEMORIES OF THE PAST
BUT THEN YOU CAME ALONG & MADE IT KNOWN THAT WHO I’D
PRAYED FOR’S COME AT LAST, RIGHT THEN I KNEW NO QUESTIONS ASKED
THAT…

ALL OF ME, LOVES ALL OF YOU,
GIRL YOU’RE MY HEART & SOUL & BABY YOU SHOULD KNOW,
THAT ALL MY DREAMS HAVE NOW COME TRUE
BECAUSE OF YOU I SEE, WHAT HAPPINESS CAN BE, GIRL SUDDENLY YOU’RE EVERYTHING TO ME

DAYS WERE MERELY FADING INTO YEARS, CAUSE GIRL WITHOUT
SOMEONE TO SHARE YOUR LOVE IT SEEMS LIFE ISN’T SO
WORTHWHILE
NIGHTS WERE SPENT JUST FIGHTING BACK THE TEARS, WHILE
PRAYING THAT I’D FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE MY DREAMS &
MAKE THEM REAL SOMEHOW

YES, ONCE I WAS JUST NO-WHERE BOUND UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG,
GIRL YOU PULLED ME UP, YOU DIDN’T LET ME DOWN, YOUR LOVE HAS
MADE ME STRONG & NOW TO YOU I BELONG

CHORUS

NOW I REALIZE TRUE LOVE HAS COME TO ME AT LAST
ONE MOMENT I WAS SAD THEN SAD WAS IN THE PAST
SO I THANK THE LORD ABOVE FOR SENDING YOU TO ME
HE ANSWERED ALL MY PRAYERS AND NOW TRULY I BELIEVE

CHORUS, AD-LIB & FADE
