[Verse 1]

I heard lightning don't strike twice

Could you be the man of my dreams?

Oh, nothing like with your hand on my thigh

But my heart doesn't mind

I see you on every corner

Twist and I turn

Never learn, sleep, don't wanna tell you

Hold me again, I don't care where you been

Just wanna know where I stand

[Chorus]

Dearly beloved, if I had my way

You'd be here to stay

Oh, believe me, beloved, if I had my way

You'd be here to stay

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I stare when I don't mean to

Do you realise?

You never seem to open your eyes

When I'm here and I'm trying

You don't know what it's like

[Chorus]

Dearly beloved, if I had my way

You'd be here to stay

Oh, believe, believe me, beloved, if I had my way

You woulda had yours in the first place

[Bridge]

These little notes get sweeter

Sweeter than most

I see you reaching for hope

You hear me say

[Chorus]

Dearly beloved, if I had my way

You'd be here, you'd be here to stay

Oh, believe me, beloved
