Yours Lyrics

[Chorus]
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
You bring new meaning to my life, now
I believe in miracles, baby I'm forever yours, yours

[Verse 1]
Tender love's what you're giving me and
You surpass all my fantasies and
I keep thanking the Lord above for
Blessing me with oh so much
'Cause I know how it feels to be part of you, boy
Everyday of my life's so abundant with joy
And I honestly never thought love could be real
Until the angels guided you to me

[Chorus]
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
(Ladada-dada)
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
(Hmm-hmm)
You bring new meaning to my life, now
I believe in miracles, baby, I'm forever yours, yours
(Yours)

[Verse 2]
Lying with you so natural
I never knew this was possible
And it finally feels like my life has begun
Now that I can share it with someone
[Chorus]
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
(Rainbows in the sky)
You bring new meaning to my life, now
(Yeah hey, now)
I believe in miracles, baby, I'm forever yours
(Forever yours)
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
(You-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh)
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
(You keep me seeing)
You bring new meaning to my life and now
(Yeah)
I believe in miracles, baby, I'm forever yours, yours
(Yeah hey, ah ooh)

[Bridge]
Baby, our love will always persevere
(Ooh, baby)
Anything you ever need
You know that I'll be right here and
(And you know, and you know)
You don't have to worry, boy
(Don't worry baby)
I won't betray your trust
Because I'm so much in love
(So much in love)
Every time your lips meet mine
It still feels like the first time
(Still feels like the first time)
And if you lost everything
I'd keep on standing by your side
(Standing by your side)
And boy, it seems like everyday
I fall deeper in love
Because I so can't get enough
(Woah woah baby yeah yeah hey)
[Chorus]
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
(Rainbows in the sky)
(La da di la da di la da di)
You bring new meaning to my life, now
I believe in miracles, baby, I'm forever yours, yours
(I believe, I believe)
You brighten up the moon and stars at night
(Stars at night)
You keep me seeing rainbows in the sky
(Rainbows in the sky)
You bring new meaning to my life, now
(And you bring new meaning to my life)
I believe in miracles, baby I'm forever yours, yours
(Baby I am forever yours)

[Hook]
(Yours) Baby I'm yours
(Yours) Baby I'm yours
(Yours) Baby I'm yours, yours, yours, yours
Everything that you do is so amazing

Everything that you do is so amazing

Everything that you do is so amazing

Everything that you do's so amazing to me, boy

Genius Annotation

Yours uses the soft “whisper register” which is used frequently on Charmbracelet in addition to belts and whistles.

Justin Timberlake also recorded vocals for Yours which were planned to be part of the song’s remix. The version with his vocals has never been released.

Jimmy Jam, one of the song’s producers stated “If I were to compare it to something we have done with her in the past, it would be ‘Thank God I Found You,’ but I think ‘Yours’ blows it away,” adding “It is probably one of the best hooks [ever]. I have a 6-year-old, and the first time he heard it, the third time the hook came around, he already knew it.”
