lyrics

Only one I'd ever wed
Only one I'd ever fall for
She got the sole key
That the love song call for
It's the kind I been dreaming of
A loving that's gonna last
A tenderness so strong
A loving-kindness ever so vast
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
A lover like no other I seen
She always move in the right way
A hearty receiver
She bring me truth in a light way
And I just can't believe
That I found
Such a woman
To work upon my blessed soul
Can't believe
She's the one gonna warm me when I'm feeling so cold
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
My heart's gotten bigger now
You know the spirit always seek to expand and
My future gets brighter and brighter
Every moment she holding my hand
The words just disappear
And all of my language go
When she look me in the eye
Yeah I know she knows
I'm always gonna love her so
With that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
Well she knows what I want now
And she knows what I need
And she knows what I'm saying
And she knows what I mean
By sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
She gimme that sweet understanding
Gimme that sweet
Sweet understanding
