Baby It's You

Brian McKnight · Other Songs - Brian McKnight

If I, if I never show ya everything

Everything you need to see

And if I, and if I never told ya

Just what you mean to me



And if you have, and if you have a question

After all that we've been through

That you're the air that I breathe

Every song that I sing, the reason for all I do



Remember what I'm telling you now

Baby, it's you, it's you, oh, yeah



You are all I ever wanted

I knew right from the start

You're all I've ever needed

You came and opened up my heart



And how'd you managed to do

The very thing so many others could not do

I have sunshine on a cloudy day

And it's all because of you, oh



If I never show ya everything

Everything you need to see

And if I, and if I never told ya

Just what you mean to me



And if, and if, and if you have a question

No question, no question

After all that we've been through, oh



You're the air that I breathe

You're every song that I sing

The reason for all I do



You are my only, I never leave you lonely

There are so many words that I'd like to say

But they just might get in the way

So I gotta show you so that you can remember



Remember, remember

When I'm wiping happy tears from your eyes

I know you'll remember, remember

Happy mornings turn to happy days and happy nights



I know you'll remember, remember

For those times that I might not be there

I know you'll remember, remember

When our children say I love you, mum and dad, it's true



Yesterday, today, forever, I know, baby, it's you, ooh

It's you, ooh, oh, it's you
