My Purpose Was to Love You

My Purpose Was to Love You

Slow R&B / Soul Love Song

Felicia Jones, my sweetie,

Girl, you came and changed my life,

Before you, I was searching,

Trying to find what felt right.

Then God placed you in my pathway,

And suddenly I could see,

Every road that I had traveled

Was leading you to me.

You fulfill my every need, girl,

In ways I can’t explain,

You’re my sunshine in the morning,

You’re my shelter from the rain.

When I’m weak, you give me strength,

When I’m empty, you fill me,

I thought that I was already whole,

But, baby, you complete me.

Felicia Jones, my sweetie,

I was put on Earth to love you,

If I searched this whole world over,

There’d still be nobody above you.

You’re the reason my heart knows

What forever’s supposed to be,

My purpose on this Earth was loving you,

And your purpose was completing me.

I don’t need a million dollars,

Don’t need diamonds, don’t need gold,

Just your hand inside my hand, girl,

When we’re young and when we’re old.

Let me wake up right beside you,

Let me kiss you every night,

Let me spend the rest of my days

Making sure I love you right.

And if tomorrow brings us trouble,

I’ll be standing by your side,

‘Cause what we have is deeper

Than the feelings we can hide.

You’re my lover, you’re my best friend,

You’re the answer to my prayer,

And whenever you should need me,

Sweetie, I’ll be right there.

Felicia Jones, my sweetie,

I was put on Earth to love you,

If I searched this whole world over,

There’d still be nobody above you.

You’re the reason my heart knows

What forever’s supposed to be,

My purpose on this Earth was loving you,

And your purpose was completing me.

If I only get one lifetime,

Then I’ll give that life to you.

Every breath and every heartbeat,

I’ll spend proving that it’s true.

And when my hair turns gray, sweetie,

And these hands ain’t strong like before,

I’ll still reach across that bed at night

And pull you close once more.

I’ll whisper, “Felicia, I love you,”

Just like the very first time,

Because loving you ain’t something I do—

Girl, it’s the reason I’m alive.

Felicia Jones… my sweetie,

You fulfill my every need,

You’re the missing piece inside my heart,

Baby, you complete me.

And if God asks what I did

With this life He gave to me,

I’ll say, “I loved the woman You sent me

With everything inside of me.”

Felicia…

My sweetie…

My heart… my home… my everything.

Out of everybody in this world,

God gave me you.

And if I had to live this life again,

I’d still choose you…

Every time.

Because my purpose on this Earth…

Was to love you.
