Through all these years   You've always been there   And we've been through hard times   Still somehow you care      Fighting through our fears   And holding back the tears   I still love you   More and more each day      I'm searching for the words   The right things to say   And I knew right from the start   We'd never ever part      Oh, sweet lady   You've become my everything   Ooh, baby   You're the light inside of me   Sweet lady   Now forever we will be together      Our love has grown   As our lives have changed   Just like the southern spring   Pushing back the rain      And the seasons come and go   But one thing remains for sure      Oh, sweet lady   You've become my everything   Ooh, baby   You're the light inside of me   Sweet lady   Now forever we will be      And one thing I know for sure   You're worth fighting for      Oh, sweet lady   You've become my everything   Ooh, baby   You're the light inside of me   Sweet lady   Now forever we will be      Sweet lady
