James Ingram

Before we go to sleep tonight
We'll say out prayers
I'll hold you tight
And kiss away the fears
You hold inside you

So many years have passed us by
I cherish the moments by our side
A love like ours will only grow much stronger
I wanna tell you

*That forever more
I'll be the one to love you
To love you
When you need me
I'll be there
To make you smile
And forever more
I'll be the one you come to Oh~~
I'll be the one to love you
When the morning comes

Through all the tears we left behind
The joy we shared with your hands in mine

I can't resist
Oooh touching you
Not even while you're sleepin'
And when you awake
I promise you
We'll celebrate our dreams come true
A love like ours will only grow much stronger
I wanna tell you

*Repeat

Let me tell you there'll never be
Another cold and lonely winter night
Cause we're family
Baby our love will last forever
So I'll say to you

I'llbe the one to love you
Forever more

Your face is beaming
You say it's 'cause you're dreaming
Of how good it's going to be
You say you've been around
And now you've finally found
Everything you wanted and needed in me

I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

Inside I'm dying
To see you crying
How can I make you understand
I care about you
So much about you, baby
I'm trying to say this as gently as I can

'Cause I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

You're so trusting and open
Hoping that love will start
But I don't have the heart, oh, no
I don't have the heart

I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I want to do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way that you want me to

I don't have the heart (Ooh...)
(Baby, I don't have the heart, I don't have the heart)
I don't have the heart (Ooh...)
(Baby, I don't have)

I don't have the heart
I don't have the heart
I don't have the heart...

I did my best
But i guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wond'ring if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once
Can we figure out
What we keep doin' wrong?
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?

Just once
Can't we find a way to fin'lly make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break thru it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows
We're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowin'
Whatever we've got going
And it seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

Just Once
Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?
Why the good times never last for long?
Where are we going wrong?

Just once
Can't we find a way to fin'lly make it right?
To make the magic last more than just one night
I know we could break thru' it
If we could just get to it
Just Once
Ooh.. We can get to it..
Just Once...

Heavenly Father, watchin' us fall
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well, it's a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So, if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name, His name

(Chorus)
Yah Mo Be There, Yah Mo Be There
Yah Mo Be There, Yah Mo Be There

Whenever you call...

(Verse 2)
Never be lonely, lost in the night
Just run from the darkness, lookin' for the light
'Cause it's a long, hard road
That leads to a brighter day, hey...
Don't let your heart grow cold
Just reach out and call His name, His name...

(Chorus) x 2

(Bridge)
Yah will be there
You can count on it brother
'Cause we're all just finding our way
Travelin' through time
People got to keep pushin' on
No matter how many dreams slip away
Yah will be there

Well, it's a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So, when your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name
Just call His name

(Chorus)

I watched you leaving and
never tried to get you to stay
Somehow I talked myself into
believing that
It s just another game we play

But the moment you re gone
the heartache begins
Like an ocean of sorrow that I
keep drowning in
Should I reach for the phone or
wait for your call
I don t care who was wrong I
won t go there at all

CHORUS
Oh I wish you were here
It s sometimes like these that I
desperately need you
And I wish you were here
There s a world of love
inside to share
I wish you were here

And the thing that keeps us
from drifting apart
Is the fact that we re bound by
the soul and the heart
Every power on earth every
storm we ll survive
Come hell or high water love
won t denied

CHORUS
Oh I wish you were here
It s times like these that I
desperately need you
And I wish you were here
There s a love of love inside
us to share
I wish you were here

Far too many nights, too
many fights
When we should be making up
Let s get past the pride
And reach down inside for love

REPEAT CHORUS

I used to think that
I could not go on
And life was nothing
but an awful song
But now I know
the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on
the everlasting arms
If I can see it
then I can do it
If I just believe it
there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every
night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through
that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge
of breaking down
Sometimes the silence
can seem so loud
There are miracles in life
I must achieve
But first I know it starts
inside of me
If I can see it
then I can do it
If I just believe it
there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it
every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through
that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
If I just spread my wings
If I can see it
then I can do it
If I just believe it
there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it
every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through
that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
If I just spread my wings
I can fly

Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance you got to
hold on to romance
Don't iet it slide
There's a special kind of
magic in the air
When you find another heart
that needs to share
Baby Come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Needs you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to
livin' without you
Spendin' every time
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand new way of
looking at your life
When you know that love is
standing by your side
Baby Come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Needs you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to
livin' without you
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening
when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be
here to keep you warm
Baby Come to me
Let me put me arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Needs you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to
livin' without you
come to me
Let me put me arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Needs you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
come to me
Let me put me arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Needs you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
