You make the time stand still
You do it now and you always will
You take me as I am
You make me feel like a brand new man
Every time that I fall down
I never get stuck
You got the combination gal
To get me right back up
'Cause you are what I am
I'm lovin' you forever if I can
Think about the times we've had
We never been blue
You got the combination gal
To keep me straight and true
'Cause you are what I am
I'm lovin' you forever if I can
You make the time stand still
You do it now and you always will
You take me as I am
You make me feel like a brand man
I know I'm lucky too
Without two or three, just me and you
'Cause you are what I am
I'm lovin' you forever if I can...
