Song Lyrics
For once in my life
I found someone who needs me
For once in my life
I found someone who cares
My waiting is over
I need look no further
I found myself in you
Where did you come from
The surprise of a lifetime
God must have known
My heart longs for you
My waiting is over
I need look no further
I found myself in you
Can we be in love forever
Can one heart beat for two
If we always pray together
God will bless me and you
Yeah..
The reflection in your eye
Is the window to my soul
The beat of you heart
Is the rhythm of mine
My waiting is over
I need look no further
I found myself in you
Can we be in love forever
Can one heart beat for two
If we always pray together
God will bless me and you
For once in my life
I found someone who needs me
For once in my life
I found someone who cares
My waiting is over
I need look no further
I found myself in you
I found, I found, I found, I found, myself in you
I found myself in you
I found myself in you
I found, I found, I found, I found, myself in you
I found myself in you
