[Verse 1]
First time I saw her it was heaven, yes
Prettiest thing I'd ever seen
I knew from that moment, she was the only girl I'd love
That's when she gave her heart to me

[Chorus]
She belongs to you and me
She's the angel in our dreams
Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me, yes
Were not for her, you and I would never be

[Verse 2]
Sometime in December was the day you were conceived
We were as close as close could be, yeah, yes
Now you can't remember but the day that you were born
You were even closer than me, yes

[Chorus]
She belongs to you and me
She's the angel in our dreams
Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me
Were not for her, you and I would never be

[Bridge]
God only knows how much she loves you
Well, I've just as much as she, yes I do
Boy, I only hope when you grow up you'll find a woman
That will love you like your mother has loved me, yeah

[Chorus]
She belongs to you and me
She's the angel in our dreams
Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me, oh
Were not for her, you and I would...
She belongs to you and me
She's the angel in our dreams
Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me, oh
Were not for her, you and I would, yeah, never be

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
