Deniece Williams

At a glance, I knew we'd be together
Our eyes danced around the music in our hearts
It seemed as though we've met before
Your smile opened up the door to love

You held my hand, ooh, could this be heaven
My heart demands, I get to know you even more
For love, I've waited patiently
You appeared and suddenly I know
Oh, yes, I know

That it's not by chance
That we are here together
And it's not by chance
That love has come to call
Anything can happen now
Hold me tight, let's find out how
In love, darling in love

I do believe it's not imagination
A love conceived like this could only be divine
It's me and you and you for me
It came together perfectly
And I know, somehow I know, and, ooh...

That it's not by chance
That we are here together
And it's not by chance
That love has come to call
Anything can happen now
Hold me tight, let's find out how
In love, darling in love, and, ooh...

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
'Cause there's no place I'd rather be
Loving you comes naturally

And it's not by chance, no
That we are here together, baby
And it's not by chance, no
That love has come to call
And anything can happen now
Hold me tight, let's find out how
In love, darling in love, whoo-ooh...

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I tell you, it's not by chance, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
'Cause I know that love has come to call
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
And it's not by chance, no
It's not by chance, no
'Cause I'd do anything at all, ooh...
