In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely girl
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you for what you've done
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone

I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so much love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through, yes
And it's all for you

My world was cold and so empty
And my life so unfulfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
You were oh-so willing
Now to you it might seem a little thing
But to me it seemed you'd changed my winter to spring

(I've got so much love)
Baby, I got so much love
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, yeah
It's all for you

There's so few men nowadays
Who understand the soul of a woman
Now they're always on the take, and they're
Never giving, never offering a helping hand
Oh baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love in so many ways
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days, yeah

I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so much love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, oh yeah
It's all for you

(So much love)
It's gonna last my whole life through
(So much love)
Yes it is
Just say it, baby, baby, baby
So many days
So many ways
