You and I were meant for one another
Today will join our hearts eternally
And this moment I'll always remember
All the words that mean so much to me

And you're my only love
My only love
And I just thank the Lord above
For you each day
I can't believe the way I feel
You're so special
You're so real
And I know you'll always be
My only love

Listen closely to the words I'm saying
I know I never meant them more
For your love only, I've been prayin'
You and I are what this love is for

And you're my only love
My only love
And I just thank the Lord above
For you each day
I can't believe the way I feel
You're so special
You're so real
And I know you'll always be
My only love

I know you'll always be
My only love
