[Verse 1]
Girl, it's been a long, long time comin', yes it has
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up its gates for me and you, yeah
[Chorus: Babyface + (Mariah Carey)]
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you, yeah (That I've got you)
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
Ay, yeah, yeah baby, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Babyface + (Mariah)]
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 oh
[Chorus: Babyface + (Mariah)]
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you, yeah (That I've got you)
And you've got me too, baby (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
[Bridge: Babyface + (Mariah)]
To think of all the nights, I've cried myself to sleep, yeah

Right here with me, oh baby, baby yeah, yeah
