Every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you

It's been a long, long time comin', yes it has
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you

Girl I think that you're truly somethin', yes you are
And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true, yes you are

To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right, it's only right
(In my life) that you be in my life right here with me

Every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself cuz I don't believe it's true
That someone like you loves me too

Tears can be a telescope
Rough which we see the heavens,
You'll never have a triumph without trial,
Men are brought to waters deep not to drown them,
But to cleanse them,
And earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal

The course of true love never runs smooth,
But blessed are they which mourn and mend,
Each day puts a man on trial,
Each evening passes judgment;
The swallows of sorrow may fly overhead
While troubles become tools,
But don't ever let them build a nest in your hair,
While we're fashioned for a better world

Each life's a fresh start from God to the world,
Don't let your chances like sunbeams pass you by,
The flowers of all the tomorrow's
Are there in the seeds you hold today,
Trying times are times to try,
Not to stand in our way,
We can only get nowhere today
When we're tied down in yesterday
