Lyrics
You give to me what life should be for everyone
You’re my pepper, you’re my salt, my favorite tea
You’re my sunset on the ocean, my desert dawn
So much of you is now a part of me
I know a greater power must have noticed me
And decided I would meet someone like you
No one on this planet thought we could ever be
‘Til He gave my heart to you, and yours to me
You’ve given us our children and a recipe
For you and I, love comes naturally
My love is somehow different than I’d have it be
And it’s workin’ on my heart, not into me
So, I know a greater power must have noticed me
And decided I would meet someone like you
No one on this planet thought we could ever be
‘Til He gave my heart to you, and yours to me
