There's a spark of magic in your eyes

Candy land appears each time you smile

Never thought that fairytales came true

But they come true, when I`m near you

You`re a genie in disguise

Full of wonder and surpri-ise, and -

Betcha by golly wow

You`re the one that I`ve been waiting for, fore-ever

And ever will my love for you

Keep growin` strong, keep growin` strong

If I could, I`d catch a falling star

To shine on you so I`d know where you are

On a rainbow in your favorite shades

To show I love you, thinking of you

Write your name across the sky-y

Anything you ask, I`ll try, and -

Betcha by golly wow

You`re the one that I`ve been waiting for, fore-ever

And ever will my love for you

Keep growin` strong, keep growin` strong

Betcha by golly wow

You`re the one that I`ve been waiting for, fore-ever

And ever will my love for you

Keep growin` strong, keep growin` strong

Betcha by golly wow

You`re the one that I`ve been waiting for, fore-ever

And ever will my love for you

Keep growin` strong, keep growin` strong

Betcha by golly wow

You`re the one that I`ve been waiting for, fore-ever

And ever will my love for you

Keep growin` strong (fade)

Yes this is a nice female take on this iconic song. For my money, nothing beats Queen Latifah's acappella version from several years back.

I don't think that's how it went. If I remember correctly the Stylistics started out with a few of her songs on their album such as Never Get to Heaven.. Most likely she paid them back the favor by doing a few of their songs! The songwriters for the Stylistics and many other Philly soul groups was Thom Bell and Linda Creed. So no, those songs were not written for Dionne but for the Stylistics ...

Most of the Stylistics songs were written for Dionne Warwick, but I understand she was unable to record for contractual reasons. What a loss to the world, except for the voice that stepped forward: Russell Tompkins Junior. Some of the most romantic songs of all time! Signed, a Total Fan of Ms Warwick and Russell Tompkins.
