I wake up while you lie sleepin'

I take one look at you and wonder

Am i still sleepin'

Are you some kind of angel

Come down to save me

Or just some place my imagination's tryin' to take me



What have i done to deserve what i feel

You give me somethin' that's too good to be real

How does a treasure like you fall into my hands

I need to know just one thing

I still don't understand



Why do you love me

Why do you give so much

How do you heal the pain within me

Is it the power of your touch

Now that you've opened up the heavens

For this heart of mine to see

I've become the richest man that i could ever be

Baby why, baby why me

Why me, why me



I ain't got a clue, just a notion

Sometimes i'm helplessly adrift out in the ocean

I feel like a child with one sole intention

In search of an answer that defies all comprehension



I'm in too deep but that's what you're all about

Got no hope or desire of finding my way out

How does a treasure like you fall into my hands

I need to know that one thing

Can ya help me understand



Hook



Could've been anyone in this world, why me

Every lesson that i've learned

You've come to me and shown me

What it means to be loved

What it means to be loved



Hook



Why me, why, why me, why me

Help me understand just what you've done to me

'cause i'm the richest man that i could ever be

Help me understand just what you've done to me

'cause i'm the richest man that i could ever be

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
