[Chorus:] I've got a whole lot of things to sing about I've gotta whole lotta things to say Like I love you and I need you Every night and day I've gotta a whole lot of things I want to do I've gotta a whole lotta dreams to dream And I want you here beside me Every step of the way I was lonely as anyone could ever be Til you came along and gave your love to me Now that empty world that you just walked into Is filled with sunshine and music and the song is you [Chorus] People wonder just what has happened to me They say I'm not at all the way I used to be They don't realize I've just begun to live And I'm wrapped up completely in all the love you give [Chorus]
