A Girl Like You

Performed by kevon edmonds and babyface
Every night before I sleep
I thank the lord for givin' me
Another day
So I can be with you
'cause I ain't never seen a face
So beautiful in every way
I can't believe that I'm here with you
And I cry
'cause I - I'm so in love
'cause you don't know what it means to me
To finally find someone
I was searchin'for the perfect girl
The woman of my dreams
And now she is in love with me
And even though I've been around the world
Never did I find a girl
That makes me feel the way you know you do
And even though love has been kind to me
Never did I dream
I would find me a girl like you
When I am makin' love to you
I call your name that's what I do
So you won't have no reservations
That you're the only only one for me
My heart is yours and girl that is for eternity
You know we make the perfect combination
And I cry
'cause I - I can't believe
'cause you just don't know the half of it
Or what it means to me
To have finally found the perfect girl
The angel of my dreams
And now she is in love with me
Hook
You're only the best thing girl
That ever happened in my life
You are my angel
The angel and the apple of my eye
Hook to fade
