Lazy trip to heaven on the wings of your love
Banana moon is shining in the sky,
Feel like I’m in heaven when you’re with me
Know that I’m in heaven when you smile,
Though we’re stuck here on the ground, I got something that I’ve found
And it’s you.

And I don’t have to take no trip to outer space
All I have to do is look at your face,
And before I know it, I’m in orbit around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I’ve found you,
When I see your constellation, honey, you’re my inspiration, and it’s you.

You’re my north star when I’m lost and feeling blue,
The sun is breaking through the clouds don’t you, don’t you know it’s true?
Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you
Thanking my lucky stars that I’ve found you,
When I see your smiling face, honey,
I know nothing ever going to take your place, and it’s you.

And it’s you, and it’s you, and it’s you, and it’s you, and it’s you
And it’s you, and it’s you, shoo-be-doo, ba-da-da.
