[Intro: Justin]
Yeah, yeah, hey
Oh yes, oh-oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Justin]
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

[Pre-Chorus 1: Justin with Chris]
I never thought that love could feel like this
And then you change my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel? It's a miracle

[Chorus: All & Justin]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you (oh-oh)
(A little more time, yes he did, babe)

[Verse 2: JC]
In all of creation
All things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold when you came in this world

[Pre-Chorus 2: JC with All]
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child
That's deep inside, leaves me purified

[Chorus: All & JC]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep (and deep)
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you

[Interlude: JC with Chris, Justin]
On you, on you, on you, you
(Yes he did, babe)
On you, on you, on you, you
(Oh-oh-oh)
On you, on you, on you, you
(Oooh-ooh)
On you, on you, on you, you
(Yeah, hey, hey)

[Bridge: Justin with Chris]
I never thought that love could feel like this
And you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel? It's a miracle

[Chorus: All, Justin & JC]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
(Peaceful and deep)
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
(On you, on you, on you, you)
God must have spent a little more time on you

[Outro: Justin]
A little more time on you, oh-oh
