[Verse 1]
There are days when I'm so mystified that you have chosen me
That every night before I close my eyes I think God that I need
To know that you love me
To know that you care
To know that you'll give up yourself and you'll still ask of nothing from me

[Chorus]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup it overflows
You're my sunshine
All day all night
Always for all time
Baby
You're my heart life
Star shining so bright
Your love's unconditional so
Exceptional

[Verse 2]
Every night when I lie next to you
I lay in disbelief
That I'm worthy of deserving you
That I get to live this dream
To know that you want me
Is to know that I'm here
To know that I live in your heart is to know that I'm blessed and it's clear

[Chorus]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup it overflows
You're my sunshine
All day all night
Always for all time
You're my
You're my heart life
Star shining so bright
Your love's unconditional so
Exceptional

[Bridge]
You're my sunshine
All day all night
Always for all time
You're my heart life
Star shining so bright
Your love's unconditional so

[Chorus]
Your love is exceptional
Born of a heart of gold
It fills me up to my soul
That my cup it overflows
You're my sunshine
All day all night
Always for all time
You're my
You're my heart life
Star shining so bright
Your love's unconditional so
Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional, exceptional
Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional, exceptional

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.
