Lyrics:
You know that I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
As long as I’ve got your love
You know I’ll never leave
I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, oh baby
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
And only you can see
The changes I’ve been going through
Have left a mark on me
You’ve been as constant as a northern star
The brightest light that shines
And it’s been you oh baby right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of tellin’ you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more
‘Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin’ inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you, oh baby
Right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way of tellin’ you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, oh baby
Right down the line

It’s been you, oh baby
Right down the line
It’s been you, it’s been you
Right down the light oh
