[Verse 1]
I used to pray for this
Now I live it every day
Mel, you make the hard stuff
Fall apart and fade away
You got that kind of love
That can calm my whole nerve
Best friend in my corner
And you still get what I deserve
You a fire in the house
You a hand when I shake
You a smile in the morning
When my soul need a break
And the way you hold our child
Like you built that little heart
I swear I seen a miracle
Right there from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight long years, I held on
Kept that hope in my chest
Now I got you for real, girl
And I ain't never been blessed like this
You my peace, you my home
You my answer, you my proof
Every road I walked alone
Led me right back to you
[Chorus]
Mel, you the one
Mel, you the one
My wife, my love
My best friend, my sun
(Mel, you the one)
Mel, you the one
Eight years waitin'
Now I'm holdin' you, hun
[Verse 2]
You a mother with a touch
Like the world turned gold
When you pack those little lunches
And you rock that tired soul
You make patience look easy
You make love look real
You turn a rough day soft
With the way you make me feel
And girl, you my lover
In every single way
Still get butterflies
When you walk through the place
If I had one life
I'd choose your name again
'Cause you my today
And you my always, Mel
[Pre-Chorus]
Eight long years, I held on
Kept that hope in my chest
Now I got you for real, girl
And I ain't never been blessed like this
You my peace, you my home
You my answer, you my proof
Every road I walked alone
Led me right back to you
[Chorus]
Mel, you the one
Mel, you the one
My wife, my love
My best friend, my sun
(Mel, you the one)
Mel, you the one
Eight years waitin'
Now I'm holdin' you, hun
[Bridge]
And I know the nights got heavy
But you never let us fall
You was standing in the storm
Like you born to take it all
I don't say it enough
So I'm sayin' it now
You the reason I believe
Love can still work out
[Final Chorus]
Mel, you the one
Mel, you the one
My wife, my love
My best friend, my sun
(Mel, you the one)
Mel, you the one
Eight years waitin'
Now I'm holdin' you, hun
(Mel, you the one)
Mel, you the one
Forever ain't enough
For the way I love you, Mel
