  • You know our love was meant to be
    The kind of love to last forever
    And I want you here with me
    From tonight until the end of time

    You should know
    Everywhere I go
    Always on my mind
    In my heart, in my soul
    Baby

    You're the meaning in my life
    You're the inspiration
    You bring feeling to my life
    You're the inspiration
    Wanna have you near me
    I wanna to have you hear me saying
    No one needs you more than I need you

    And I know (and I know)
    Yes, I know that it's plain to see
    So in love when we're together
    Now I know (now I know)
    That I need you here with me
    From tonight until the end of time

    You should know (yes, you need to know)
    Everywhere I go
    Always on my mind
    You're in my heart, in my soul

    You're the meaning in my life
    You're the inspiration
    You bring feeling to my life
    You're the inspiration
    Wanna have you near me
    I wanna have you hear me saying
    No one needs you more than I need you (no one needs you more than I)
    Oh, oh, oh

    Wanna have you near me
    I wanna have you hear me saying
    No one needs you more than I need you (no one needs you more)

    You're the meaning in my life
    You're the inspiration
    You bring feeling to my life
    You're the inspiration

    When you love somebody
    'Til the end of time
    When you love somebody
    Always on my mind (no one needs you more than I)
    When you love somebody
    'Til the end of time
    When you love somebody
    Always on my mind (no on needs you more than I)
    When you love somebody
    'Til the end of time
    When you love somebody
    Always on my mind (no one needs you more than I) Writer/s: David Foster, Peter Cetera

  • Bigbob from CtDefinite change from 25 or 6 to 4, or Colour my world, or Does anyone really know what time it is. Lot less brass!
  • Christina from Wolcott, CtThis is a great love song. One of my favorites!
  • Michelle from Thunder Bay, OnThis is going to be the song that my new husband and I are going to be dancing to at our wedding. This song describes us perfectly and is such a romantic song. We are tired of going to weddings and hearing the same old first dance songs that we wanted something different. We figured since we are both 80's music lovers, why not choose a song from that era!
  • George from Calumet City, IlAbsolute classic.
