Through all these years You've always been there And we've been through hard times Still somehow you care Fighting through our fears And holding back the tears I still love you More and more each day I'm searching for the words The right things to say And I knew right from the start We'd never ever part Oh, sweet lady You've become my everything Ooh, baby You're the light inside of me Sweet lady Now forever we will be together Our love has grown As our lives have changed Just like the southern spring Pushing back the rain And the seasons come and go But one thing remains for sure Oh, sweet lady You've become my everything Ooh, baby You're the light inside of me Sweet lady Now forever we will be And one thing I know for sure You're worth fighting for Oh, sweet lady You've become my everything Ooh, baby You're the light inside of me Sweet lady Now forever we will be Sweet lady
