You came in That's what my little heart was looking for Laughter in the rain Feeling like a fool in love again The laughter came When the tears stopped falling Now all I do is just call your name (When I say lover) You walked in and my heart discovered That my life would never be the same Oh, you are my destiny You are my one and only You gave that joy to me When my whole life was lonely Angel in disguise With your power of love You just hypnotize I just love the magic of your spell How much joy we have together Only time will tell Every day, every night Oh, I know it's so right When I see your face Only time's gonna tell But I know you so well Girl, my love's for real From the first time that I saw you I know it was forever This mighty love between us Will keep us together You're the girl God sent from heaven I'm so glad I found you Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever I'm so glad to be around you You are my destiny You are my one and only You gave that joy to me When my whole life was lonely It's alright, it's alright Do it again It's alright, it's alright Don't let this love end It's alright, it's alright Do it again It's alright, it's alright Don't let this love end
