There I was, an empty piece of a shell, Just minding my own world; Without even knowin' what love and life were all about Then you came, You brought me out of the shell; You gave the world to me And before I knew, there I was so in love with you You gave me a reason for my being And I love what I'm feelin' You gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when I met you I love the touch of your hair And when I look in your eyes I just know, I know I'm on to something good And I'm sure, my love for you will endure Your love will light up my world; And take all my cares away With the aching part of me You gave me a reason for my being And I love what I'm feelin' You gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when I met you You taught me how to love You showed me how tomorrow and today My love is diff'rent from the yesterday I knew, you taught me to love And darling I will always cherish you today Tomorrow and forever And I'm sure when evening comes around I know we'll be making love like never before My love, who could ask for more You gave me a reason for my being And I love what I'm feelin' You gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when I met you When I met you You gave me a reason for my being And I love what I'm feelin' You gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I've gone beyond existing And it all began when I met you When I met you
