  • Can this be true?
    Tell me, can this be real?
    How can I put into words what I feel?
    My life was complete
    I thought I was whole
    Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

    I never thought that love could feel like this
    And you've changed my world with just one kiss
    How can it be that right here with me
    There's an angel?
    It's a miracle

    Your love is like a river
    Peaceful and deep
    Your soul is like a secret
    That I never could keep
    When I look into your eyes
    I know that it's true
    God must have spent
    A little more time on you
    (A little more time) (I'm sure He did)
    (Yes, He did, baby)

    In all of creation, all things great and small
    You are the one that surpasses them all
    More precious than any diamond or pearl
    They broke the mold when you came in this world

    And I'm trying hard to figure out
    Just how I ever did without
    The warmth of your smile
    The heart of a child
    It's deep inside
    Leaves me purified

    Your love is like a river
    Peaceful and deep
    Your soul is like a secret
    That I never could keep
    When I look into your eyes
    I know that it's true
    God must have spent
    A little more time on you

    (On you, on you, on you, you) Yes, He did, babe
    Yes He did (on you, on you, on you, you)
    (On you, on you, on you, you)
    (On you, on you, on you, you)

    Never thought that love could feel like this
    And you've changed my world with just one kiss
    How can it be that right here with me
    There's an angel?
    It's just a miracle

    Your love is like a river
    Peaceful and deep
    Your soul is like a secret
    That I never could keep
    When I look into your eyes
    I know that it's true
    God must have spent
    A little more time on you

    God must have spent
    A little more time on you (on you, on you)
    On you
    A little more time
    You, you Writer/s: Carl Allen Sturken, Evan A Rogers
