Love that is born in truth
All the doubt removed
Lover's eyes are blessed
Only see the best 

I can't let go 
Of a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

Empty hearts are free
Bring your love to me
Soul chase the moon, oh man
Shadows hug the room
Turn off the light 
Sneak in bed at night
Darkness shut its eyes, baby
I open mine to you

I can't let go
Of a love that grows
You know I love you, so
Can't let go
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Of a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I love you, so, I
I love you, oh

I can't let go
Of a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Of a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so

I can't let go
Of a love that grows
You're my woman, baby love
You know I love you, so
