verse 1:    for the first time in a long time, life's a little better  It's the first time, an awfully long time, life's a little sweeter  As you may have guessed, you have made it very blessed  so`I must confess, that    chorus:    Baby girl  It's no surprise that you're in my life  I see the future and it's open wide   Cause you're in my life      verse 2:    It won't be long now for us to see how this love thang grows  Cause I been braggin to my best friends now everybody knows  Could this be the thang that my life's been waiting for  Could you be the one that I been searchin' all this time   now your mine, oh      chorus:    Baby girl  It's no surprise that you're in my life  I see the future and it's open wide   Cause you're in my life    vamp:    I was confused, now I can see, you and me together  I was so blind, how could I, baby, baby    Now I can see us together babe, forever babe, oh (repeat)
