You're my soul song
My everything that I do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song
That's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song
And that's why I call you my solid gold song
Nothing in the world can ever go wrong
As long as you are mine
Nowhere in the world have I seen anything like you
In all my time
You give me a feel good feelin' through and through
And it's so fine
I'm up with the sun 'cause I don't wanna waste it
I love you so much I can almost taste it
I can't stand still when I look up and see you comin'
I start hummin'

You're my soul song
My keep-me-safe-from-my-home song
My shelter-from-the-storm song
That's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song
And that's why I call you my solid gold song
Nothing in the world could ever go wrong
As long as you are mine
You're my soul song
Myeverything-that-I-do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song
That's why I sing all the time
Soul song
And that's why I call you my solid gold song
Nothing in the world could ever go wrong
As long as you are mine
