I never let you know before
But now I must confess
That only in your living arms
Could I find happiness
Yes it’s taken quite a while
To show you how I feel
I just wanted to be sure
My love for you was real
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
Perhaps I’ve lingered over time
It may be just too late
You may have chosen someone else
More suited to your taste
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
But if I have only one chance
What I hope will be
Let God perform a miracle
Of giving, of giving you to me
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
The first album purchased at the impressionable age of 14.....hair grew long, bought my first pair of bell bottoms from lawn mowing funds, Landlubbers jeans, buffalo sandels from India....a redneck transformed to Hippie or close to it.
