I been on my knees and I been praying loudI have been humbling myself and praying earnestly.
Palms getting sweaty, my nerves feeling heavyMy hands are becoming sweaty and I am feeling nervous.
Holding back these tears as I see your faceI am trying to control my emotions and not cry when I see your face.
I'm a lucky man (ha), wondering how did I get ya?I consider myself fortunate, and I can't help but wonder how I managed to be with you.
