This Is It (Orchestra Version)
This Is It	 (Orchestra Version)

One, Two, Three, Four

This is it, here I stand

I’m the light of the world, I feel grand

Got this love I can feel

And I know yes for sure it is real

And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times

And you said you really know me too yourself

And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes

But you say you gonna live it for yourself

Oh

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn’t my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on baby just understand

This is it, I can say,

I’m the light of the world, run away

We can feel, this is real

Every time I’m in love, that I feel

And I feel as though I’ve known you since a thousand years

And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before

And you said to me you don’t want me hanging round

Many times wanna do it here before

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn’t my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on baby just understand

This is it, I can feel

I’m the light of the world, this is real

Feel my song, we can say

And I tell you feel that way

And I feel as though I’ve known you for a thousand years

And you said you want some of this yourself

And you said you want to go with me all the while

And I know that it’s really true myself

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn’t my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on please baby understand

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn’t my plan

I never thought that I would be your lover

Come on baby please understand

Oh yeah

I never heard a single word about you

Falling in love wasn’t my plan
