Thoughts of you were in my dreams last night
There we were, the two of us in love
Making plans for the future
Let me tell you what I saw

There's a star shining, oh, so brightly
Gives us hope and strength for us to grow
There's a place where prayers will be answered
One day we will know

I see a place just for us in the end
There is a place you can depend
As long as love is in our hearts
There is a place just for us
There is a place just for us
There is a place just for us

There's a little one who's growing fast now
Keeps us smiling and always on the go
We give love and we show how much we care
One day we will know

I see a place just for us in the end
There is a place you can depend
As long as love is in our hearts
There is a place just for us
There is a place just for us
There is a place just for us, oh, yeah

(There is a place just for us)
I can see it now
(There is a place just for us)
There's a place just for us
(There is a place just for us)

If love is in our hearts
(There is a place just for us)
One day we will know
(There is a place just for us)
There is a place just for us

As sure as the stars shine above
(There is a place just for us)
(There is a place just for us)
There will be a place
There is a place just for us

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
