[Intro]
Baby, I've just been sitting here thinking
How blessed I am to have someone like you in my life
And I'm so excited, so so excited about
Being with you for the rest of my life
Listen

[Verse 1]
Looking at all this land
Damn, I use to be a lonely man
Could never understand
Why I had no one to take my hand
But then the weather changed
Mother Nature brought the sun my way
Now girl, you're who I am and I am you for the rest of my days

[Chorus]
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more, oh, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Now, I used to think that I would never have a serious relationship
Always praying for that one to come along and give me what I miss
But now those thoughts are no more, ever since you came into my life
It's like Heaven opened up its doors, showered down on me the perfect wife, oh oh

[Chorus]
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more, oh yeah oh yeah

[Bridge]
Baby, now our house (our house) is a home
(The cars) we own
(What's mine) is yours
(The keys to the doors) Oh yeah
(My family) My family, (and friends) my friends
(The church) we belong (together), Heaven drum sing
(Our house) is a home
(The cars) we own
(What's mine) is yours
(The keys to the doors)
(My family) My family, (and friends) my friends
(The church) we belong (together) standing strong..

[Chorus]
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl, I vow to be forever loving you, rain or shine
How the moon takes on this so romantic glow
I'll be lovin' you forever more...

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
