Special Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh baby
It's been such a long time, since I, since I touched you
Since I kissed you
Since I saw you baby

[Verse 1]
It's been a long time since I touched you baby
You've been on my mind
Since I went away
Who ya been loving baby?
Spending your time

Bridge
'Cause I was kinda hoping we could, sit down and talk about it
While any way
All I can say
Is that I still love you baby
You still remain

[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in my heart
(My heart)
Deep in my soul
(Deep in my soul)
Hooked on your love
(Hooked on your love)
I can't let go
(Eeehhh ayyyy yaay ayyy)
[Chorus]
'Cause love is forever
(Special)
Special to me
(Special to me)
And you'll be forever
(Your love)
Special to me
(Special to me)

(So give me your love)
Don't hold nothing back
(Love is forever)
Special to me

[Verse 2]
Baby, I know I let everything fall apart
But did it all fade away?
I'm here, And baby I'm looking for a brand new start
Forget yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
Deep in my heart
(Ayy yaii)
Deep in my soul

On the second time around
Getting stronger than before baby
And my love has come down
Please baby, don't you let me fade away
Looking for your love baby
Looking for a brand new day
