[ Featuring the Vandellas ]
This mornin' when I woke up, sushine touched my heart
Children of the earth, they walk so far apart
From this protection of what's supposed to be
They don't have it goin' right
You've been people
Who loves your neighbor
They seem to miss the boat
Letting others drown so they can stay afloat
But we have love so real, just let them be
I wanna thank someone for sendin' you to me
Bless your mother, bless your father
But most of all, bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
People will try to break it
They don't wanna see us make it
We'll never let them take it, no sir-ee
I can well remember, you left yourself home
And the spells we left each other just last strong
You think we'll have a love to share like we do
They'd know the happiness I've got in here in you
Bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
People will try to break it
They don't wanna see us make it
We'll never let them take it, no sir-ee
Oh I've got you and baby, you got me
I wanna thank someone for lettin' us be
Bless your mother (bless your mother)
Bless your father (bless your father)
But most of all, bless you, bless me
Let our love last for eternity
We're gonna make it, boy
Heaven won't break it, boy
I wanna share my joy that's heavenly
