“God bless you
You make me feel brand new “

Recorded in 1974 by The Stylistics, one of my favorite R&B groups of the 1970s, You Make Me Feel Brand New was written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. The recording sold over a million copies globally, reached number 5 on the Billboard R&B chart, and was Billboard’s song number 14 for 1974.

My love,
I’ll never find the words my love, to tell you how I feel my love.
Mere words, could not explain.

Precious love,
You held my life within your hands, created everything I am,
Taught me how to live again.

Only you,
Cared when I needed a friend, believed in me through thick and thin,
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song ’cause you, make me feel brand new.

My love,
When ever I was insecure, you built me up and made me sure,
You gave, my pride, back to me.

Precious friend,
With you I’ll always have a friend, you’re someone who I can depend,
To walk a path that sometimes bends.

Without you,
Life has no meaning or rhyme, like notes to a song out of time,
How can I repay, you for having faith in me

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song ’cause you, make me feel brand new.

Songwriters: Linda Diane Creed / Thomas Randolph Bell
