Just mindin' my own world;
Without even knowin'
what love and life were all about.

Then you came,
You brought me out of the shell;
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all be--gan

And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure
my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world;
And take all my cares
away with the aching part of me.
