You, simply said
Are the best thing in my life
Endless source of happiness
I could never have designed

Unsurpassed, glorified
The center of my universe
I want so much to express
But I can't find the words

My world is changing
But you make it all worthwhile

You mystify, sanctify, clarify my destiny
You elevate, illuminate me
Fill me with serenity
Infatuate, you captivate me
To the point where I can see
You're all I'll ever need

You, precious gift
Every moment a surprise
How I love to see the joy
That's reflected in your eyes

Fervent wish, personified
I could live for your caress
Everyday that you're mine
Makes me feel so blessed

Our world is changing
But you make it all worthwhile

You mystify, sanctify, clarify my destiny
You elevate, illuminate me
Fill me with serenity
Infatuate, you captivate me
Make it easy to believe
You're all I'll ever need

Your world is changing
But you'll make it all worthwhile

You, you
You, you're all I'll ever need

You mystify, sanctify, clarify my destiny
You elevate, illuminate me
Fill me with serenity
Infatuate, you captivate me
To the point where I can see
You're all I'll ever need

You
Clarify my destiny
Illuminate me
You
