I've Been Blessed

by Billy Eckstine

on The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 7: 1967 (2007)

[Verse 1]
While sitting by my window
Watching the lovers pass by
I wonder, yes, I wonder
Are they as happy as you and I?
For you are the only one I care for
And each night I say a prayer for

[Chorus]
For I have been blessed
And oh, I've been blessed
For he gave me you
And a life of happiness

[Verse 2]
Now I, I used to wonder
And heaven passed me by
Until one day I knelt to pray
And I looked up toward the sky
'Cause I, I saw an angel
Smiling, smiling from above

[Chorus]
And I knew that I've been blessed
Oh, I've been blessed
For he gave me you
And a life of happiness
That's when I knew
That I've been blessed
I've been blessed
For my life of happiness
Oh, I've been blessed
I've been blessed
