U turn
by: Udo MechelsEvery smile makes me so radiantly happy
And your eyes they bewitched me
God you're amazing
And all the troubles in my head
And all the things I've ever said
They mean nothing anymore
Since you've sailed along my shore
Ooh babe babe babe
All those years I have been blind
It was you I had to find
Ooh babe babe babe
Though I looked I did not see
You were the only one for me
Young lady you enticed me and my fear is fading
For so long I have been
Waiting vainly
Come and take me by the hand
We've got both our lives to spend
Cause it's you that I adore
No I don't wanna wait no more
Ooh babe babe babe
All those years I have been blind
It was you I had to find
Ooh babe babe babe
Though I looked I did not see
You were the only one for me
Yeah your body's getting warmer
And my heart is beating faster
Huh our feeling's getting stronger
Oh I want you so
You are the only one
You are the only one for me
Ooh babe babe babe
All those years I have been blind
It was you I had to find
Ooh babe babe babe
Though I looked I did not see
You were the only one for me
