There was a time when I felt I'd never love again
For hurt had taken all my love away
My faith was gone and I knew I'd never trust another man
And loneliness was in my life to stay

Not long ago, I met a man, he was so good to me
I never thought of him as one to love
He always seemed to be around when I needed company
He made my world a better place to live

The other day I noticed, he was staring at me
His eyes looked at me as if to say
I know that you're a woman starved for love and tenderness
You need the love that only I can give

Then he touched me and my world started turnin' once again
When he kissed me my lips started burnin' once again
When he held me my feet just wouldn't touch the ground
Now my world's so bright for there's love all around
Now my world's so bright for there's love all around
