Lyrics

It’s hard to be lieve that I could n’t see

you were (G)al ways there be side me.

Thought I was a lone, with no one to hold;

but you were (G)al ways there be side me.

This feel ing’s (G)like no oth er.

I want you to know:

(A)I’ve nev er had some (C)one that knows me like you (F)do,

the way you (G)do.

(A)I’ve nev er had some (C)one as good for me as (F)you;

no one like (G)you.

So lone ly be fore; I fi nal ly found

what I’ve been look ing for.

So good to be seen; so good to be heard.

Don’t (C)have to say a word.

For so long, I was lost; so good to be found.

I’m lov ing (G)hav ing you a round.

This feel ing’s (G)like no oth er.

I want you to know:

I’ve been look ing for.

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo;

a (G)whoa, oh, oh, oh.

(G)whoa, oh, oh, oh.
