Oh baby 

I've got the sun in the morning 
I've got the moon at night 
I've got your arms around me, everything's alright 
Hold me real tight is how I'd like to spend 
The, the rest of my life 

Feel the warm breeze below me 
Down through the trees, ah
I've got your love beside me child, that's all I need 
My heart and soul is wide open to you 
Nobody but you sweet baby 
Ah, but you 

Got to know that I want you baby 
Got to know that I need you darling 
I just want to say you're my everything 
Back for all the songs that I sang of happiness and joy you bring 
I just want to say you're my everything 

Want to hold you 
How I adore you 
You've got that special touch that I long for oh so much 
Boy, I'm amazed at how you write our laughs 

Oh I 
Got to hold you near 
'Cause, I know that what you do 
You bring out the best in me 
My heart and soul is wide open darling 
Nobody for you sweet darling 
No one but you 

Got to know that I want you baby 
Got to know that I need you darling 
I just want to say you're my everything 
Back for all the songs that I sing of happiness and joy you bring 
I just want to say you're my everything 

Baby, baby, baby, oh yes! 

Child you posses what all true love should be 
'Cause I depend on you to keep loving me 
Yeah oh 

'Cause you baby 
Oh, oh, darling 
I, yes 
Oh baby
