Eric Benét

Why is my heart so
Afraid of letting go
And why did I push you away


It's so simple to see
That we were meant to be
But why are three words hard to say


It's all in the game
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game


After all of this time
Can't get you off of my mind girl
To you every girl I'd compare


Every night she's trying
To satisfy me
But we both know nothing's there


It's all in the game (why must I keep playing)
It's all in the game of love
It's all in the game (I know love is waiting)


I think it's time I should let you know
I'm going to love you the rest of my life
I can't believe I once let you go
No one's to blame
It's all in the game


Solo


Chorus out

Tracy is a good girl
Sweet 16
Her daddy's in her bedroom
Makes her feel unclean
She's slave to a secret
That her dad and she keep together


Nathan is a genius
Or at least he was
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
Nat lives on the streets now
For $20 bills he'll do whatever


Chorus:
Don't stop breaking the chains
Don't stop breakin' away
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
It's up to no one else
You've got to free yourself


Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge
She gave up on her dreams
Her self esteem's broke down
Now she stares out the window
Watching people fly around forever


Chorus


Make a change don't you be afraid, go on
Free your mind from the fear inside
And you won't be chained anymore


Look here I'm a black man
And they say I'm free
Seems like somebody s'til got chains on me


Well we got brothers killing brothers
Leaving young mothers to raise a family
We gotta stay together to make it better


Chorus out

Oh what you do to me yeah yeah
Quietly your silhouette
approaches me A vision far too
lovely to define hey yeah
Tenderly you take complete
control of me The feminine
seduction of body
soul and mind yeah
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women
want to be Softly you move
when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity
A child of innocence is how you
look at me But it's the woman's
touch that makes it feel so right
so right Your lips consume
my deepest sensitivity
It feels so good
it makes me wanna cry
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women
want to be Softly you move
when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity
Oh oh oh femininity Oh femininity
Let me feel myself inside you
once again I love the way
you say it's just for me
A lady in the purest sense of
elegance But when the lights
go down girl You're making love
strong wild and free
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women
want to be Softly you move
when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity
Touch me and I feel your femininity
Girl you're the lady women
want to be Softly you move
when you're making love to me
Love me every night with femininity

I like the way you take control
of me You have a little
certain quality Not many girls
would ever dare to be
The lady that you are femininity

When I'm far away
Could I ever be untrue?
Naw baby


Could I fade away
Find somebody new?
Naw baby


Though this road gets long and weary
I'm always coming home to you


Chorus
I'll be there for you
Oh baby I'll be waiting around for you
I'll be there for you oh baby I
I'll be there for you


Could a summer breeze
Compare when you're in view?
Naw baby


Could anything or anybody
Thrill me like you do
Naw baby


So you'll never have to wonder
I commit my love to you


Chorus


Solo


Listen to me, though this road gets long and weary
Girl it always leads to you


Chorus out

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
Available for you to see
Well I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've got to be me
You'll never be down
That's what it's all about
Can't take me for granted smile
Count my days I'm gone
Together me and you by phone
I promised I'll be gone for a while
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
Got to get them straight
How could I ever be late
To the only woman taking up my time
How could I ever allow
I guess I wondered how
I could forget about a pocket of fun
When you know
That you'll never ever do
Number one's gonna be number one
I'll be good I wish I could
Get the message over to you now

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person
That you really are now
I'll be good I wish I could
Get the message over to you now

If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay

This feels so wrong

This feels so wrong

This feels so wrong
I'm so confused
You give me love
but you can't be true
You say you need
your space and time
With or without you
I'll lose my mind
Oh yes I know
if meant to be
In the future we'll be hand in hand
But girl right now
you're killing me
Cause I know you're making
love to another man
Do you really want to be
just friends
Don't you stil love me love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me love me
You call me for some time to spend
Just long as
I'm out your door by 10
Platonic love will have to suffice
Can't bear the thought of you
out of my life
I've tried to end this misery
But I'm always picking up that phone
Swallow my pride
I beg and plead
But you always sing the same ole song
We can be friends
Do you really want to be
just friends
Don't you stil love me love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me
I love you music down
Do you really want to be
just friends
Don't you stil love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me love me

Do you really want to be
just friends
Don't you stil love me love me
It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me love me
Do you really want to be
just friends

It's so hard for me to understand
You say you love me love me
Do you really want to be
just friends with me

I never felt the wind so cold
Until I had to walk alone (without you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause now I understand


I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you had
I don't need to waste time runnin' around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'


And I knew the first time that I ever seen you


Chorus:
Let's stay together girl it would be so nice
If we just hold on and stay together
Everything will be alright...(we'll be alright)


Tell me why it feels so strong (tell me baby, tell me baby)
The years roll by, but s'til this heart you own
I never felt a love so completely
Don't you know we're riding on destiny


And I knew the first time that I ever seen you


Chorus


Ooh girl you got me
'Cause when I wake up
You're the first thing on my mind


Tomorrow will be
So let's leave the past behind
Just let me lead you
To our happy ever after


And girl when we arrive
Why don't we stay awhile


Chorus out

Girl it's true
I can't deny
I've been around a couple of times
So you're afraid
This love in me
Tomorrow we'll no longer be
My heart beats stronger
At the end of each day
Can you feel the rhythm between the two of us
I'd be a fool to turn away
Baby all I'm trying to say is


Chorus:
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
You're more than just a temporary love of mine
You're so much more than just a girlfriend
So I'll ask you forever be mine


'Cause when I'm making love to you
I can tell it's not pretend
Many things to me are you
Not just another lady friend
See every brother has a place in his heart
Only one lady can find her way to it
Only one girl
To see your smile is all I need
To know that you're my destiny


Chorus


So I'll stay for always 'til the end of time
Much more than loves before
Don't wanna let you go
Right here is where I'll stay
Don't you ever go away


Chorus out

Ooh girl, lover friend From the day we first began Felt a connection with you Somehow can't explain No one makes me feel the same way You do Your heart and mine are one Somethin' deep is goin' on It's like we've been here before Seems like God above Had a reason to bring your love To me Chorus: I love what I'm feelin' (a spiritual thang) You're giving to me, yeah (a spiritual thang) I know it's for real (a spiritual thang) This spiritual love you bring (a spiritual thang) Love won't fade away When it's a spiritual thang It's like we're one in the same Girl, we got a love that the whole World's been searching for You and me, don't you know that Chorus Guitar Solo Your heart is in beat with mine And no stronger love will I find Together our souls intertwined Together as one, yeah... Chorus out

Everybody wants to rise above
Without a touch of dignity
Without a stroke of love


Take a little time and check yourself
To live the life you're praying for
Just be true to yourself


Everybody wants to be your friend
If you got a dime to lend
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why


Chorus:
I'm true to myself ya'll
I'm true to my family
And love with a true integrity
I'm true to myself ya'll
True to my God above
And love with a true integrity


Everybody wants a piece of you and me
To be the victim of their greed
Or co-dependency


It's so very hard to know
Which way to go
A lie can be the gospel truth
If eloquently told


Everybody wants to make amends
If they can see another win
You never really matter in the end to them
That's why


Chorus


Some people live their whole life
And they'll never see
The only way to find true happiness
Is to thine own self be


True to yourself y'all
Got to live your life for you, yeah
All you gotta do, well
Is be true to yourself, well
I'm true to myself, y'all
I'm true to my little baby girl
I got to be true, oh yeah


Chorus out

What if I made some time to listen to you
What if you made some time to hear me too
What if we took the time to realize
Givin' some love is givin' compromise
What if I could show you that my love is true
Without all these changes we be going through
What if we learned to play it by the rules


Chorus:
What if we was cool...cool
Wasn't acting like fools...fools
What if we was cool...cool
Wouldn't that be cool


What if we tried something not tried before
What if we let love open up the door
What if we set some goals, but not too high
What if we both agreed to really try
What if we knew that we could disagree
But s'til made love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do


Chorus


Do you hear me baby
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get the message through to you
I'm someone to love


What if we had equality for all men
What if we forgot all our forefather sins
What if you forgot the color of my skin
What if you could wear the skin I'm in


What if we knew that we could disagree
But still make love the first priority
Show me love like you're suppose to do


Chorus
People can yousee
'Cause our love is fading
Can I get a message through to you
Can we keep this thing cool
A lot of love we're needing
I'm ready and I'm willing
Don't you know that I s'til think of you
As someone to love


Chorus out

Through this veil of tears
I can see what was suppose to be
Now it's all so clear
Love from you was so real, so true, genuine
Stronger than time


Chorus:
Wipe your tears away
Kiss you every morning
Hear every word you had to say
Are all the things I should have done
While you were here
And now the foolish boy has grown
Into this man I'm sorry you've never known
I'm not afraid to love
'Cause every beat of my heart
Echoes all those memories from way back when
And the man I should have been


Chorus


Faded dreams of you and me
And of our little family
Gone forever
My God in heaven
Before the gift of clarity
We pay the price of misery
Why please tell me why


Her mommy's gone away
But in her eyes I see you more each day
How can I repay
All your love unreturned
From so long, long ago
Now I know


Alternate Chorus
I'll wipe her tears away
Kiss her every morning
Hear every word she has to say
Do all the things that you
Would do if you were here
Brighten her rainy day
Catch her when she's fallen
Say I love you each and every day
Do all the things that you
Would do if you were here


Chorus

It's not your situation
I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic
It's just that I'm an addict
for your love
Am i the only one that holds ya
I never ever should have told ya
you're my only girl

I never knew such a day could come
그런 날이 오리라곤 절대 생각 못했어요.
And I never knew such a love Could be inside of one
그리고 사랑이란 감정이 내 마음속에 들어오리라고도 절대 생각 못했어요
I never knew what my life was for
난 내가 무엇때문에 사는지도 몰랐죠.
But now that you're here I know for sure
그러나 이젠 당신이 옆에 있어서 확신을 갖게 되었어요.

[Tamia]
I never knew 'till I looked in your eyes
난 당신의 눈을 보기전까지 전혀 몰랐었어요..
I was incomplete 'till the day you walked into my life
당신이 내 인생에 발을 들여놓기까지 난 완전하지 못했었죠.
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love, so real
그리고 난 내 마음이 정말로 소중하고 정갈한, 정말로 진실된 사랑을 느끼리라곤 전혀 생각지 못했었어요.

1 - [Both]
Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes
매일 아침 눈을 떴을 때. 당신을 볼 수 있나요?
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night (and every day)
매일 밤,(그리고 매일 낮마다)당신 심장이 뛰는 소리를 들을 수 있나요?
Can we just feel this way together Till the end of all time
삶이 끝나는 날까지 이런 감정을 함께 느낄 수 있나요?
Can I just spend my life with you
당신과 함께 남은 인생을 보내고 싶어요.

[Eric Benet]
Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
하루가 지나가고, 한 주, 그리고 일년.. 세월이 빠르게 지나가겠죠.
But nothing will change the love inside Of you and I
하지만 당신과 나의 사랑을 바꿀 수 있는 것은 아무것도 없어요.

[Tamia]
And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
제대로 설명할 수 있는 말이 딱히 떠오르지 않는군요.
Just how much my heart, my life
My soul you've changed
당신이 내 마음, 내 인생, 그리고 내 영혼을 얼만큼 뒤흔들어 놓았는지를 말이에요.

2 - [Both]
Can you run to these open arms
활짝 열린 내 품으로 들어오세요.
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
아무도 이해할 수 없겠지만, 신에게, 그리고 세상에게 말해 주세요
I'm your woman, you're my man
난 당신의 사람이고, 당신은 나의 사람이란 것을.
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
손끝만 닿는 것으로도 당신은 내가 얼마나 당신을 사랑하는지 느끼지 못하나요?
Can I just spend my life with you
당신과 함께 인생을 보내고 싶어요.

No touch has ever felt so wonderful (You are incredible)
어떤 감촉도 이렇게 멋지지 않았어요(당신은 놀라워요.)
And no deeper love I've never known (I'll never let you go)
그리고 내가 아는 어떤 사랑도 이렇게 깊지는 않았죠.(절대 당신을 떠나 보내지 않을꺼에요.)
I swear this love is true (Now and forever, to you)
난 맹세해요, 이 사랑이 진실하리라는 것을(영원히.. 당신을 위해서)
Only for you (To you)
오직 당신을 위해서..

Repeat 1
Repeat 2

Can I just spend my life with you
남은 생을 당신과 함께 보내고 싶어요.
Can I just spend my life with you

[Both]
Forever here with you
여기 이렇게 당신과 함께 있지요.
[EB]
Can I just spend my life with you
[T]
Can I just see you every morning
When I open my eyes
매일 아침 눈을 떴을 때 당신을 볼 수 있을까요...
Ooooh~

So you can understand
how deep my love can go
Baby your river is flowing
So let me just fill

Shivering softly but you

Hello baby how ya' been
nice to see your face again
Strange to see you coming 'round
when you're the one
who put me down
We were such a happy pair
but then another man was there
So forgive me I don't understand
just what you want from me
As you can see my
life's been good
I moved the family out the
neighborhood
And all my dreams I've realized
to think you said it was a
waste of time
It's never hard to
make new friends
when you're making Benjamins
Now did I hear you say again
You're still thinking of me
Do you feel like dying
Do you break down crying
Do you fall down on your knees
Don't want to go on living
Does your world start spinning
When you think of me
All I had was love to bring
but you was
on some ol' material thing
Looks like you're still trying to
drive them mad
But it's not easy when your
credit's bad
I didn't know that
I could feel so blue
It took some time but girl
I'm over you
Would've gladly gave
my life for you
You should have
thought the whole thing through
All those nights
with your girlfriends
was just a front for you and him
Y'all was s'posed to leave for
Honolulu
Leaving yo' ass was 'bout the
best he could do
Dry your tears now baby it's OK
I'll introduce you to my fiancee
Excuse me baby say again
You been thinking of me
Do you feel like dying
Do you break down crying
Do you fall down on your knees
Don't want to go on living
Does your world start spinning
When you think of me
Do you think of me
in waves that pull you under
From my memory
is there nowhere you can hide
Do you close your eyes
see my face and wonder
How could a love so strong
be nothing but a lie

Do you feel like dying
Do you break down crying
Do you fall down on your knees
Don't want to go on living
Does your world start spinning
When you think of me
feel like dying
break down crying
fall down on your knees
go on living
world start spinning
When you think of me
When you think of me
When you think of me

He friend for all my life
I would not deny
Like brothers in my mind
She treasure of his heart
There upon his arm
Eyes of midnight stars
I've been tempted by forbidden
love before
But why must she be everythin
That I've been praying for
Now this burning in my heart
will I ignore
When I know that
she'll be knocking at my door
Hey
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs
you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me

Now she's dancing in the night
Her body is the moonlight
Too much for me to fight
Now I'm lost within her arms
Careless with my heart
I'm weakened by her charms
He has looked me in my eyes
a million times
But now I turn away for
I'm afraid
Of what he'll find
She's the precious love
for whom his heart beats for
But now she's always knocking
at my door
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs
you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me

He has looked me in my eyes
a million times
But now I turn away for
I'm afraid
Of what he'll find
She's the precious love
for whom his heart beats for
But now she's always knocking
at my door
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs
you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs
you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me
Why you messing with my feelings
Why you follow me
I can read the signs
you're giving
Why you follow me
Turn away from your desire
Why you follow me
Don't be playing with this fire
Why you follow me

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas to you

I've been away too long awhile
I lost my rhythm, I forgot my style
Too complicated for this simple man
But now I understand
Like a circle peg in a square hole
I tried to push it but it wouldn't go
It didn't kill me so my strength increased
And now i finally see
I found a love that was gone deep inside of me
I found a man who was lost and i set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now i can be myself again
I had the best the world could offer for sho'
But peace of mind is much more precious than gold
I was in place where truth was hard to find
But it's all revealed in time
Stick out my chest and hold my head up high
Forgot how it felt to feel so good inside
A fool would gain the world just to lose himself
Now i'm gonna be true to no one else
I gotta light in my eyes for the world to see
Thank God the music's back inside of me
It was a long hard road to be a better man
But now i can be myself again
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that i go
And the gift of life i truly understand
'Cause i can be myself again
No there ain't no wound that love can't heal for sho'
And if you lose yourself the Lord will guide you home
This i know
Well i found a joy and serenity
Won't let nobody tell me something's wrong with me
Gotta big love inside and I'm 'mo set it free
And be myself again
I found a love that was gone deep inside of me
I found a man who was lost and i set him free
I thought that the pain was never gonna end
But now i can be myself again
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones
I hold my head up high everywhere that i go
And the gift of life i truly understand
And i can be myself again
I said i can be myself again
I know i can be myself again
I can be myself again

Baby we need just a little more time
Time that can heal what's been on your mind
You can find what we've lost before it all slips away
We need time to mend from the mistakes I've made
God only knows what a heart can survive
So many tears from all the pain in our lives
And where else could we go after all we've been through
I still believe my life is right here with you

So just hold on
And it won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

I know it's taking a while but every lesson, I've learned
And if your heart speaks tonight I'll hear every word
If you want to be free I'll never stand in your way
But with all that I am, I'm asking you to stay

Hold on
And it won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

There's a light that can burn
It exists in the heart
You can feel it when you know love is true
If you could try to be strong
And keep the light burning long
It took a lifetime but I found it in you

Hold on
And it won't take long
I hope that you can love me
When the pain is gone
I don't want us to fall through the cracks of a broken heart
Don't want us to fall through the cracks of your broken heart

Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me
With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide
Gonna hold on
All the walls around are broken down
Now I can hear the rising sun
Surrounded by everything I want
But nothing that I need
I was blinded by the absurdity
Losing all identity
Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need
To find that road
Right around that curve a lesson learned
Now that I have the eyes to see
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
With poison toys I'd isolate
But the wind was strong and true
But now I see where the treause is
'Cause they only blocked my view
I'm spiraling down but so oblivious
Got to find my way home
There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me
But how do I break this shell of stone
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall
And sometimes I tried to break those walls
And feel your love
But I came alive
When I finally found my way

A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane

I heard some news from a friend of mine
Strugglin' with the woes of life
Just broken down as the rain
kept steady pourin'

We questioned and we philsophized
But the only truth that we surmised
Is rain will fall so the rose
will keep on growing

Sometimes it's hard to understand
How fate can deal with such a heavy hand

But in the end You're gonna find
that strength that lies
within And in the end
All you need is the comfort of a friend

And in the end
You won't break 'cause you're
learning how to bend
And the hand of God will guide you always
In the end

Now I know a woman so abused
By the hands and words her husband used
Till the day would come when
she could take no more

With two little girls she was left to feed
She taught them strength and self-esteem
Now she's an inspiration to
everyone she meets

I know that life has a funny way of
bringing out the best by bringing on the pain

But in the end
A little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end
Every answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Looking back you can finally understand
He was always there beside you
You'll see

'Cause I know the fight when
you struggle every morning
Just to face that world one more day
And you're holding on to life
while a northern wind is blowing
Just believe your help is on the way

Oh in the end
You're gonna find that strength
that lies within
And in the end
You're gonna get there no matter
where you've been
'Cause in the end, well
The one truth is love will always win
And the hand of God will guide you
Just believe and let Him in

'Cause in the end, well
A little love's gonna bring you back again
And in the end, well
Eevry answer's written on the wind
And in the end
Just look back and I swear you'll understand
He was always there beside you

I heard some news from a friend of mine-

I got the biggest part of heaven in my life
And I can feel it every time I see your eyes
You're my world, you're my light India

If I could you know I'd open every door
But your own journey
makes it mean so much more
I believe in all your dreams India

Down, you'll never let me down
When you follow your own way
Speak the words only you would say
Keep reaching for your star
If won't be far
When love's behind you

You're the miracle of life
that love has made
This bond between the
two of us will never break
Your flower blooms, I sing for you India

You hold the universe
inside your little hands
So don't you listen if they
just don't understand you
When you try, you always fly India
Yes baby -

Keep reaching for your star
If won't be far I'm right behind you
I got the biggest part of heaven in my life
And I can feel it every time I see your eyes
You're my world, you're my light India

I believe in all your dreams India
When you try, you always fly
India, yes you do baby -

I don't want to live this way no more
I don't want to fight this endless lonely war
I don't want to stand alone,
without the only love I've known
And never find that ray of light we had before
I never meant to break your precious heart
And what I did can't be undone
and it's tearing me apart
Far too late for promises,
but if you gave us one more chance
You would see a better man worth fighting for
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
If this prayer for love is never heard
Oh, and if you have to walk away
for these are only words
Baby I will understand
but I will always be that man
Waiting here for you with love and open arms
Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again
Remember all the times we had,
the dreams that we once shared
I swear I'll bring them back to you again again

Love sweet love I feel your power
Hear my prayer, we're in your hands now
Take these hearts so lost and broken
Bring us home again

Baby what you searching for
I'm pretty sure that you just don't know 'cause
You're looking with your body, not your head
You're brilliant and beautiful
But they don't see when they take you home 'cause
You're just another notch that's in their bed
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
(Why you wanna go and do that baby)

I can feel your emptiness, I can see it behind those eyes
Just waiting for the one who understands
(Someone who understands)
Though I'm not like the rest
I'm invisible because you're blind
Jaded and blinded to a chance
(To take a chance with me)
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
Ohhh, oh pretty baby
(oh, you're so beautiful, why you want to go and do that baby)

Don't lie to yourself
Don't let them inseide while your heart keeps crying
Sfow love for yourself
Discover your light where you you'll find me
(In the light)
Ohhh, oh pretty baby

Heaven knows what you've been through
So much pain
Even though you can't see
I'm not far away
We always say if one of us
Somehow went away
We'd light a candle and say a prayer
Know that love still remains
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
Live your life from this day on
And love again
I know you'd do the same for me
That's the way that loves is supposed to be
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
When you feel those lonely teardrops
Rolling down your face
Just know my love watches over you
Always, always
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Know my love is all around you
Dream in peace, when you wake
You will know I'm still with you
I'm still with you

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn't know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance,
you're never gonna fall.
After everything I've learned;
Now it's finally my turn.
This is the last time I'll fall... in love.
The first time we walked under
that starry sky,
there was a moment
when everything was clear.
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why,
because each question is answered
when your near.
and I'm wise enough to know
when a miracle unfolds,
this is the last time i'll fall in love.
Now don't hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much
too fast or way too slow.
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it,
I'll never be the same.
You'll never know what it's taken me
to say these words.
And now that I've said them,
they could never be enough.
As far as I can see,
there's only you and only me.
This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.

We could write the story of how we fell apart
But your truth and mine ain't the same
So I'll write the words into my heart
Fot the chapter that bears your name
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
Where does the love go

They say that love is a timeless energy, it never dies it just changes form
But it when it changed from the shape of you and me it took the shape of a raging storm
I'm not asking for second chances
I just want you to see
Until you take a look at yourself girl
You could never be free

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go?
The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does love go?

When it dissipates does it turn to hate
If you see me on the street, would you talk to me
For the sake of love, ain't worth it babe?
How could people go from a feeling that words can't describe
To a place of not even caring if I'm even alive

The love that we shared, did it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had did it vanish completely
Where does the love go
The love that we shared, does it fade into nothing
Where does the love go
After all the dreams that we had does it vanish completely
Where does love go
The love that we shared
Where does the love go
Where does the love go

This world has up and gone
crazy I'm out here
working trying to make it
Girl it's so rough in
this city There ain't no resting
for the weary
So baby feel me
I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal
I need you to wrap
them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight
you'll make everything alright
When you wrap them chocolate legs
around me
The memory of my day will quickly
just fade away When you come wrap
them chocolate legs
'round me Please baby
wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Your cocoa skin against mine
babe Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and
I feel pure pure love
You're the only thing
I'm ever sure of
your love I'm sure of
I need some reminding
That God is still
He's still behind me Baby
come take my soul and set me free
When you come wrap
your chocolate legs round me
So when I come home tonight

When you come wrap them
chocolate legs around me
I need you to understand
and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you

I need some reminding
That God is still
He's still behind me So

I want you to know
how much you mean to me
When you come wrap

home tonight

Now the heat of
love feels like
it's starting to cool
I hear the bells
but they don't right
the way they used to
It looks like breakin up
is our next obvious move
but let's not move too soon
You see the problem goin
round too often these days
People throwin
in the towel once
they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if
we endure this pain
Or else we've lived these years
cried these tears in vain
I'm sayin
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
I've worked your patience girl
and you workin my nerves
We scream at each other
but we're not
hearing one word
We made mistakes that
neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired
when love's concerned
I saw an old man and
his wife early today
They were holding hands
his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came
so close to parting ways
In my mind I could him say
stay babe
Don't let go
I could hear him say
Don't let go
don't throw the love away
No don't let go
you know we're
worth it baby
Don't let go
Don't let it go
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
With some other girl
I could move on
trading old problems
just for new
To some other guy
you could belong
goin thru changes
we've been thru
When another brotha is
tryin to make a play
Oh no don't you let go
When another woman is up
in my face
Oh I better not let go
When the honemoon
starts to fade away
Oh no I won't let go
If we're gonna make it
I wanna hear you say
Oh no I swar I won't let go
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
Don't let go
I could hear him say
Don't let go
don't throw this love away
No Don't let go
you know we're worth it baby
Don't let go
don't let it go
I could hear him say

I never thought it was possible
in my reality
I thought my chances
for love were gone
that time ran out for me
my heart has been through some
changes
and heaven knows
what I thought was my everlove
was so conditional
but my love everyday with you
I'm so surprised
morning comes
I fall in love again each night
I'm thanking GOD you're
in my life
I don't know how I know
but this feeling
won't be ending
everlove oh my everlove
ever lasting through all changes
in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday
and every night
I found my everlove

I'll never ask for perfection
that's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth
in your heart the rest
we'll work out day by day
you've seen the best
and worst of me
and you're still standing here
oh there is nothing that
can stop us now
cause we've got nothing
left to fear
the future will show
the power in a moment
just like this
whatever love can dream we both
will know
whatever we imagine will exist
with every kiss
I swear my life will be
deserving of you
everlove oh my everlove
everlasting through all
changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever giving ever
learning with every cry
I found my ever love
the winds of changes will blow
come what may
your friends may come may go
I'll never go away
these struggles of life
they my put us
through the fire
but as long
as I'm alive
I'll be right there
by your side
everlove oh my everlove
everlasting through all
changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday
and every night
I never know that love
could feel this way
let's share a life of
love together
baby
everlasting through all changes
in our lives
come what may
I'm gonna be here
with you love you forever
till my life is through
ever giving
ever learning with every cry

I found my everlove

I believe in the power
inside of my heart
God is the source
from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great
and no cause too small
This infinite love
is inside of us all

My buddy Greg lost his leg
serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking thinking of things
he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile
but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon
second year in a row
Oh there's a storm
that you're gone have to ride
in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves
when you're lost in your life
Just hold on
and you'll go with the tide
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
I knew a girl a pretty girl
but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy
left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive
before her heart grows colder
And all the love
she's dreaming of
maybe then she will know
we've got stories and people
to blame for our lives
No don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie
the only way is to
leave the past behind
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Love patience and time
And it won't be long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
There's so much more
inside you and me
That the world needs to still
believe Nothing's too great
for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright

Grab a gun everyone
said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change
the will of the other side
Some people swear
that blood and fear
will bring the world together
I believe that all we need love
patience and time
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Love patience and time
And it won't be long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine

Last night I dreamed my life
was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven
but I know it was a lie
For when I
looked you weren't inside
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you

Last night my dream revealed
the day could soon come
Without your kiss your
touch your love
The first tears of Heaven
ever cried would be mine
Till you were
there right by my side
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my
final hours yes I would

Sometimes life makes us
feel so secure
Like our days will
last forever
Time will come when
I'll be no more
think of me and Just remember

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my
final hours yes I would

Can I tell u shall I count the way Can I find the words that could explain I have my heart of my life soul u changed forever U ease my pain with such gentle hand When im with u im a better man And I never ever understand the way That u sing to me without musical words The Sweetest melody that I’ve ever heard When I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Cause u sing to me There so much evil in the world today Everybody tried to made a way Looking for a peace love to make Get better But we can make it through and rise above With ur letter says I made of love And I know that will be strong enough to Go on and go on and go on cause u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard Sweet enough to make me cry Cause it keeps a lover lie Sing to me sing baby And leaving through the fire I don’t want love will find a way And ur the reason why I gotta I’m singing stronger everyday u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard Cause when I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Sing to me oh~ sing baby u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody(ooh sweetest melody) that I ve ever heard Sweet enough to make me cry(make me cry) Cause it keeps a lover lie U sing to me u sing to me Without musical word Sweetest melody that I’v ever heard Cause When I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Cause u sing to me (everytime I look in to ur eyes its like I can hear) u sing to me Sing to me ( I love u so much babe)

I once believed that the face of love would be so clear to see one kiss conceives giving birth to endless joy that's what i believed but i've been slapped out my trance from this bliss of ignorance while the stench of disappointment i would breathe i've played the roles brilliantly the villain, the victim, and in between pushed the limits of my strength and sanity chorus: still i believe in love still i believe in love still i believe in love still i believe in love your eyes your eyes if given half a chance could slice my heart in two i've tried at least a half a dozen times probably the same for you i've been the angel, been the beast i've been confused and had clarity i went the distance only to find there was nothing there take your hearts place your bets on this game of russian roulette if you loose they won't remember or even care chorus though i walk thru the valley i don't fear you i'll never stop believing though i hear you i know you're looking but you'll never find me whenever i smile you are grieving (still i believe) whenever love's around me you are leaving (still i believe) shut the hell up now and get behind me (still i believe) shut the hell up and get behind me (still i believe) reapeat chorus

Another Friday comin' round I think I know

my charms

I'm not tryin' to lock her down not tryin' to

I'm going back to the day we parted
And all the ways
you were broken hearted
Take a trip everyday in my mind
I see your face
I recall it few word
Its playing back
like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye
if I do what I know
I'd walk back in time
I will write every wrong
I would change every line
and you'll be here right now
Just like yesterday
But you'd feel no more doubts
When you hear me say
You're the only one I want
you're the only one
You're the only one
I need in my life
in my life baby
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
I see the world through
a haze of memories
And then the girls don't
mean a damn thing to me
It's kind a sad
how they just don't compare
Time will tell let's wait and see
if our love we had was meant to be
Coz I know we got a
future out there
coz you're still my girl
I don't care what they say
let's go back to our world
Baby don't you throw this love away
coz I still believe
In the magic of us
this is the matter of time
And it's a matter of trial
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
Now girl it took sometime
to get real with myself

Now love ain't easy sometimes
But if you find it
we'll stay together
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life

The first time
I fell in love was long ago
I didn't know how to give
my love at all
The next time I settled for
what felt so close
But without romance
you're never gonna fall
After everything I've learned
Now it's finally my turn
This is the last time
I'll fall in love

The first time we walked under
that starry sky
There was a moment
when everything was clear
And I didn't need to
ask or even wonder why
Because each question is answered
when your near
And I'm wise enough to know
When a miracle unfolds
This is the last time
I'll fall in love
Now don't hold back
just let me know
Could I be moving much too fast
or way too slow
'Cause all of my life
I've waited for this day
To find that once in a lifetime
this is it
I'll never be the same
You'll never know
what it's taken me to say these words
And now that I've said them
they could never be enough
As far as I can see
there's only you and only me
This is the last time
I'll fall in love
Last time I'll fall in love
The last time I'll fall in love

Two years since you
walked away from me
Since all of our scattered dreams
Were just thrown away
I'm finally gettin back to
what I used to be
Share my pain with my family
Think I'm on my way
I can sleep at night
I don't reach for you
when I wake up
But it's taken some time
I can live my life
Without praying that
we could make up
I'm movin on
I'm feeling strong inside
But sometimes I cry babe
When I'm all alone
With this heart of mine
Sometimes I cry babe
Although you've been gone
For a long long time
Heard you're moving
in with someone new
I hope all your dreams come true
And you'll both be happy yeah
Been long enough for me
to take a look around
I've met a girl
we've been hangin out
She's been good for me
But when we're makin love
She don't take me there
like you used to
And it hurts when I lie
Help me understand
how to push you out
Forget you and let you go
Cuz Lord knows I've tried yeah
But sometimes I cry babe
Been at all that hurtin
For a long long time
Sometimes I cry babe
Ain't nothin workin
For this pain of mine

I'll just have to fake it
Until I can make it
There's a smile on my face yeah
But I'm broken inside
sometimes I cry babe
For a long long
With a long long
With this heart of mine
sometimes I cry babe
Although you've been gone
For a long long long long
long long long long long long long
Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I cry cry cry

Sometimes I cry babe

Sometimes I cry babe

Sometimes I cry
