I've never seen two people in my life 
More determined to ignore the obvious 
We better stop thinking 
Let our hearts start doing the talking 
You'd have to be stone deaf dumb and blind 
Not to see what's going on with us 
So let's jump in 
And get over our fear of fallin' 
'Cause what we got here 
Is a powerful thing 
It's a powerful thing 
More than three words 
And a diamond ring 
It can open up the heavens 
Make the angels sing 
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing 
We started out strangers on a two-way street 
Neither one of us lookin' to fall in love 
But we don't need us a map 
To know we're headed in that direction 
Well, it's out of our hands 
And over our heads 
It's something that's bigger than both of us 
Turnin' back now's completely out of the question 
'Cause what we got here 
Is a powerful thing 
It's a powerful thing 
More than three words 
And a diamond ring 
It can open up the heavens 
Make the angels sing 
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing 
Stronger than the force of a driving wind 
Hotter than a forest fire 
There never has been and there never will be 
Nothing like the power of you and me, yeah 
It's a powerful thing 
It's a powerful thing 
More than three words 
And a diamond ring 
It can open up the heavens 
Make the angels sing 
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing 
It's a powerful thing 
It's a powerful thing 
More than three words 
And a diamond ring 
It can open up the heavens 
Make the angels sing 
Our love, baby, is a powerful thing
