  • Girl, it's been a long, long time comin', yes it has
    But I, I know that it's been worth the wait, yeah
    Yeah
    It feels like springtime in winter
    It feels like Christmas in June
    It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you, yeah

    And every time I close my eyes
    I thank the Lord that I've got you (that I've got you) yeah
    And you've got me too (you've got me too)
    And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause
    I don't believe it's true, yeah
    That someone like you loves me too, yeah

    Ayy, yeah yeah baby, yeah

    Ooh-ooh girl, I think that you're truly somethin', yes you are, yes
    And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true, yes you are, yes
    With you baby (with you baby), it never rains and it's no wonder
    The sun always shines when I'm near you
    It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you, ooh-ooh

    And every time I close my eyes
    I thank the Lord that I've got you (that I've got you) yeah
    And you've got me too, babe (you've got me too)
    And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause
    I don't believe it's true, yeah (oh baby)
    That someone like you loves me too

    To think of all the nights, I've cried myself to sleep, yeah
    You really oughtta know how much you mean to me (it's only right)
    It's only right (you in my life) that you be in my life right here with me
    Oh baby, baby yeah-yeah, yeah

    I tell you girl that every time I close my eyes
    I thank the Lord that I've got you, baby
    And you've got me too, babe (you've got me too)
    And every time I think of it, I pinch myself 'cause
    I don't believe it's true (yeah-yeah)
    That someone like you loves me too, yeah, ayy-yeah, woo

    Loves me too Writer/s: KENNETH B EDMONDS, Kenneth Edmonds
