Lyrics

(* jason singing)
(+ both kylie and jason singing)

Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

*especially for you
*i wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
*and if dreams were wings, you know
*i would have flown to you
*to be where you are
No matter how far
+and now that Im next to you

*no more dreaming about tomorrow
*forget the loneliness and the sorrow
Ive got to say
+its all because of you

+and now were back together, together
+i wanna show you my heart is oh so true
+and all the love I have is
+especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
*how Im certain that our love was meant to be
*you changed my life
You showed me the way
+and now that Im next to you

*Ive waited long enough to find you
*i wanna put all the hurt behind you
Oh,
+and I wanna bring out all the love inside you,
+oh

You were in my heart
My love never changed
