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? I never thought that love could feel like this And you've changed my world with just one kiss How can it be that right here with me There's an angel? It's a miracle 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 (A little more time) (I'm sure He did) (Yes, He did, baby) 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 And I'm trying hard to figure out Just how I ever did without The warmth of your smile The heart of a child It's deep inside Leaves me purified 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 (On you, on you, on you, you) Yes, He did, babe Yes He did (on you, on you, on you, you) (On you, on you, on you, you) (On you, on you, on you, you) Never thought that love could feel like this And you've changed my world with just one kiss How can it be that right here with me There's an angel? It's just a miracle 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 God must have spent A little more time on you (on you, on you) On you A little more time You, you
