You're a very special part of my life
And I know my heart could never be free
All the good times spent together with you
Making future plans that we hope
Someday will come true

You're a very special part of my life
(You're very special, so special)
And that's the way I want it to be
'Cause without you, I'm a person alone
Thinking about you
And wishing you would hurry on home

Oh-oh, love, there was a time
When I was weak and lonely
But then you came into my life
And you taught me to be strong
(Ooh, I wanna thank you)
Baby, you are the star
That makes my heart free
I can still feel the warmth of your love

'Cause you're a very special part of my life
(You're very special, so special)
And that's the way I want it to be
'Cause without you, I'm a person alone
Thinking about you
And wishing you would hurry on home

Oh-oh, love, there was a time
When I was weak and lonely
But then you came into my life
And you taught me to be strong
(Ooh, I wanna thank you)
Baby, you are the star
That makes my heart free
I can still feel the warmth of your love

You're a very special part of my life
(You're very special, so special)
And you know you mean so much to me
'Cause you never fail to be there when I
Need somebody to give me some peace of mind

'Cause without you, I'm a person alone
Thinking about you, would you hurry on home
All the good times spent together with you
Making future plans that we know will come true

And I need you, yeah...
