It's been a while
But your smile always
Brightens up my day
I guess you know
Because it show
You can see it
On my face
Feels like
You've put a spell on me
Feels like
You've captured me
And baby
This is how I feel

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I've got you
And though the rain may fall
No I won't care at all
Cause baby
I know that I got you

Everyday there's a change
You bring out the best in me
My inner soul is what you know
That is how you speak to me
You seem to understand
You know just who I am
And baby, this is how I feel

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I've got you
And though the rain may fall
No I won't care at all
Cause baby
I know that I got you

Don't need a rocket man
To help me touch the sky
I don't need to fly a plane
To get this high
Don't need to hitch a ride
When I could run a million miles
Yes I would, just to see you smile

Don't need the sun to shine
To make me smile
Don't care if it's dark outside
Cause I've got you
And though the rain may fall
No I won't care at all
Cause baby
I know that I got you
