[Verse 1]
We've been friends for so long
There's nothing I wouldn't do if you wanted me to
But when I hear an old love song
It brings back memories of how it used to be

Is it right for me to want to love you tonight?
Oh baby, now, tell me if you think I'm wrong to want to belong
To want to belong

I thought I was losing my mind, I've never been so surprised
Don't know what's come over me
Love has opened my eyes, got a feeling inside
You and I were meant to be
This love was meant to be

We've been through some bad times
Time we spent together in every kind of weather, baby
When we sailed through the sad times with love and devotion
But you can't control emotion, baby
Is it right for me to want to love you tonight
Share this moment
Tell me, do you think it's wrong to want to belong
To want to belong

I thought I was losing my mind, never been so surprised
I don't know what's come over me
Love has opened my eyes, got a feeling inside
You and I were meant to be (meant to be)

Well, I swam the deepest ocean, and I've sailed the Seven Seas
Searching for a lost emotion
I thought that love was just a dream, my own fantasy
When all the time it was here by my side

Whoa whoa whoa oh
Well, swam the deepest ocean, and I've sailed the Seven Seas
Searching for a lost emotion
I thought that love was just a dream
Girl, you and I were meant to be (you and I were meant to be)
I'd climb the highest mountain, yeah
If you would share your love with me, ah sugar now
Day, day and night, baby
You and I were meant to be
Come share your love with me, oh, yeah, day and night
