[Case] Guess what i did today Those were the words i said to you It was last May, don't know the exact day In my head there was a praise And you told me that you loved me More than anything in your life So i asked you would you do me The honor of being my wife (yes i will) I will be your man, your protector, your best friend 'Til my humble life is ended Then time begins again (couldn't we)
Couldn't we please be happily ever after We can be strong together for so long (our love goes strong so long) Couldn't we please be happliy ever after (couldn't we be, baby) Leaving you never stays forever strong
[Case] When i was away (umm...hmm) Some friends became just faces Some people grew apart But you stayed right in my heart In so many times, could picture this day inside my mind And for so many years, ooh I knew it would be you here with me, ooh (yes i will) Take you for my wife, the center of my life And i will never ever fade From this choice I've made, ooh...oh
Couldn't we please be happily ever after (come on) We could be strong together for so long Couldn't we please be happily ever after Leaving you never stays forever strong (hey...ooh...hey yeah)
You don't have to look no further than me (don't look no further, baby yeah) You don't need much more than my lovin' to make you happy (I'm so happy, babe) Beneath the side of God, i will make this vow to you (come on baby) I'll be right here, stay with me (stay with me, baby hey)
Couldn't we please be happily ever after We could be strong together for so long Couldn't we please be happily ever after Leaving you never stays forever strong (no, no i will never leave you, ooh)
Sorry, didn’t notice you there But then again you didn’t notice me So we’ll remain passers by Until the next time we speak I hope that I can make you mine ‘For another man steals your heart And once your beauty is mine I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day Her and love are the same The woman that’s stolen my heart And beauty is her name I’m hoping I can make you mine ‘For another man steals your heart And once your beauty is mine I swear we will never be apart
It didn’t take much time to think about But I didn’t want to move too fast Cuz I knew that when I saw you again That I wouldn’t wanna let you pass Cuz my eyes have seen the glory In the coming of your smile So I swear if you ever come ‘round again Please stay for a while
Walks by me every day Her and love are the same The woman that’s stolen my heart And beauty is her name
I’m hoping I can make you mine ‘For another man steals your heart And once this beauty is mine I swear that we’ll never be apart
You are so beautiful When I’m down and out I never seem to get tired Tired of your love Cuz you are wonderful
You’re wonderful I’m just dying to make you see Anything you want inside your heart You can find right here inside of me
Walks by me every day Her and love are the same The woman that’s stolen my heart And beauty is her name
I’m hoping I can make you mine ‘For another man steals your heart And once this beauty is mine I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day Her and love are the same The woman that’s stolen my heart And beauty is her name
I’m hoping I can make you mine ‘For another man steals your heart And once this beauty is mine I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day Her and love are the same The woman that’s stolen my heart And beauty is her name
Do you want to float on, yeah Do you want to float, yeah

I call my baby's name She gives me everything She takes me higher and higher She plays with my desire She knows my pleasures on And works it all night long Her love is slow and slick Told me don't come too quick
Every day I pray our love Floats on and on and on Hear me calling out to you girl It's all that I can do girl

Every day I pray our love Floats on and on and on Hear me calling out to you boy That's all that I can do boy
(Montell) I know, I'm not the man you thought I'd be We started out so young Your mother, and me I know that I hurt you I was a child trying to be a man I walked out on my only son I left you in your mother's hands And now I'm standing right here With tears, with tears streaming from my eyes See your mother raised a fine young man And I know I missed so much of your life
Look at me Take a real good look at me Don't turn away Don't you turn away like I did my son I'm making no more promises I'm trying to find the word to say
Daddy's home (yeah) Daddy's home (been gone too long) Daddy's home (said your daddy's back home) Daddy's home (and for every birthday that I missed my son) Daddy's home (I'm gonna make it all up to you) Daddy's home (everytime I made your mother cry) Daddy's home (she laid awake at night, holding her pillow tight) Daddy's home (oh oh)
Do you remember the day I walked out on you? There was nothing I could say, nothing you could do I missed your first words, I couldn't hear you talk I missed your first steps, when you tried to walk, baby Now I know and you know you can take care of yourself You had to run, you had to run to somebody else (Daddy's home) Didn't be a good father, I wasn't there But talk to me son, tell me how you feel
(Shappell Crawford) Daddy why would you leave your only son Give me somethin', I could hold on You left me here alone Now you've decided to come back home And I realize That's it's gonna take a little time for you and me to get again I think we can do it, do you think we can do it?
