This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's one of those songs that you play at a wedding or something like that. I think it speaks to the sense that a lot of people feel - they go through life and relationships and obstacles, but once you find that one, you see what it was all for and you find relief in feeling that your wait is over and all the stuff was worth it.
"I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you. And I will never find another lover more precious than you, more precious than you. Girl you are close to me, you're like my mother, close to me you're like my father, close to me, you're like my sister, close to me, you're like my brother. You are the only one, you're my everything, and for you this song I sing." The singer of this song has found a wonderful girl to love, and he has never known anyone who could compare to her. The relationship that they have is so close that he feels like she is like family, comparing their connection to that of the traditional nuclear family. He has named her as the exclusive recipient of his love, even going so far as to say that she is his everything, wanting her to know that she is the one that this song is for. To make someone your everything is to make quite an investment in how you feel about them, because it's as if you are staking your heart and happiness on them. You have put them in a place of prominence in your life, making them among the most important things desired and even necessary.
"All my life I've prayed for someone like you, and I thank God that I, that I finally found you. All my life I've prayed for someone like you, and I hope that you feel the same way too. Yes, I pray that you do love me too." Because he recognizes the beauty and depth of the love shared, he acknowledges that she is the one that he has been praying for. We all desire to find someone who will love us and make us feel loved, and even if we never vocalize it to God, it has probably been our heart's prayer, especially in moments when our hearts have been handed back to us by people who weren't meant to hold them forever. Yet, for him, he has found that person and he is asking God to make sure that she returns his affections. There are few things worse than loving someone deeply and them not sharing your feelings. So it's understandable that he desires the deep love he has to be mutually felt and understood.
"(I said you're all that I'm thinking of, baby.) Said, I promise to never fall in love with a stranger. You're all I'm thinking of, I praise the Lord above, for sending me your love. I cherish every hug, I really love you." His love is always on his mind - she has become an irreplacable part of his life. He's vow to not fall in love with anyone else, knowing that hers is the love for him and even going so far as to praise God for it. He cherishes every bit and piece of their love as he really, truly loves her.
"You're all that I ever known. When you smile, on my face, all I see is a glow. You turned my life around, you picked me up when I was down. You're all that I ever known, when you smile my face glows. You picked me up when I was down. You're all that I ever known, when you smile my face glows. You picked me up when I was down, and I hope that you feel the same way too.
Yes I pray that you do love me too." He has come to a place where it's almost as if she is the entirety of his being. She has changed things in his life, and when she smiles, he glows. He is in deep because of the love she's given and all that she's done for him, and he greatly desires that it is all mutual.
