I never let you know before
But now I must confess
That only in your living arms
Could I find happiness
Yes it's taken quite a while
To show you how I feel
I just wanted to be sure
My love for you was real

God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl

Perhaps I've lingered over time
It may be just too late
You may have chosen someone else
More suited to your taste

God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl

But if I have only one chance
What I hope will be
Let God perform a miracle
Of giving, of giving you to me

God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
God gave me love
God gave me you, girl
