You For Me (The Wedding Song) Lyrics
Johnny Gill
Lyrics
Verse 1:
It seems like forever
That I have waited for you
In a world of disappointment
One thing is true
God has blessed me
And he's blessed you too
In a world of lonely people
I've found you.
Chorus:
Take my hand
And hold me close
And don't let me go.
You for me
And me for you
Together we'll make one
Verse 2:
We were once strangers
All by ourselves
Living, living alone
With no one else
But here you are
And it's so, so sweet
God must have done this
Made you for me
And oh.
Chorus:
Take my hand
Hold me close
Don't let go.
You for me
Me for you
Together we'll make one.
Bridge:
We were always sleeping
Under the same stars
Dreaming, dreams of love
Wondering where you are
How blessed I am
That I've found you
Now that you're here
I pray to say "I do"
Ohhh
(Chorus twice)
