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

So we could wash away the past
So that we may start anew

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)

Oh, la-tee-da, now
Mmm, make life grand

(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…
