(Sunrise) There’s a new sun a-risin’
(In your eyes) I can see a new horizon
(Realize) That will keep me realizin’
You’re the biggest part of me

You’re the biggest part of me

Well, make a wish, baby
Well, and I will make it come true

In lettin’ my love rain down on you
So we could wash away the past
So that we may start anew

Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
More than an easy feelin’, she brings joy to me
How can I tell you what it means to me?
Flow like a lazy river for an eternity
I’ve finally found someone who believes in me
(Who believes, who believes in me)
And I’ll never leave, oh
(Now I’ve found all I need)
Instrumental Break
Oh, la-tee-da, now
Mmm, make life grand

Hey, hey, make a wish, baby (Wish and it will come true)
Oh, and I will make it come true

In lettin’ my love rain down on you
So we could wash away the past (Wash)
So that we may start anew, yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 3
(Beside me) Need your lovin’ here beside me
(To guide me) Keep it close enough to guide me
(Inside of me) From the fears that are inside of me
You’re the biggest part of me
(Forever) Got a feeling that forever
(Together) We are gonna stay together
(Forever) From now until forever
You’re the biggest part of me
You’re the life that breathes in me
You’re the biggest part
Of me, hmm-mmm
Outro
You changed my life
You made it right
And I’ll be a servant to you
For the rest of my life
Ah, baby, you’re the biggest part of me
Yeah, ah-ha, ooh, baby…
