To Zion Lyrics by Lauren Hill

My son Ashton was born 13 years ago. Nov. 97
This song has always reminded me of him.


To Zion Lyrics by Lauren Hill

Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,
"Lauryn, baby use your head"
But instead I chose to use my heart

Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
For I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face

That the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion

Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
[repeat to end of song]

1 + 1 by Beyonce - Videos and Lyrics

1 + 1 by Beyonce - Lyrics and Live Video

This song is for my baby, Chris:

I loved her raw, uncut, live version on American Idol... This was my favorite part of the night... she is so real. I love her. I love this song.

The lyrics: 
  

If I aint got nothing, I got you
If I aint got something I don't give a damn, cause I got it with you
I don't know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two
And it's me and you, thats all we'll have when the world is thru

Cause baby we aint got nothing without love
Darling you got enough for the both of us
So come on baby, make love to me

When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go.
Make love to me. So that when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Right now baby make love to me...me...me...mee...mee. ooh ooh make love to me.

Hey! I don't know much about guns but I...I've been shot by you
Hey! And I don't know when I'm gon die, but I hope that I'm gon die by you
Hey! And I don't know much about fighting, but I, I know I will fight for you
Hey! Just when I ball up my fist I realize that I'm laying right next to you

Baby we aint nothing but love, and darling you got enough for the both of us
Make love to me...when my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go.
Make love to me...so that when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Help me let down my guard, make love to me…me..me….me..meee ooh ooh ooh make love to me...me...me...mee...mee.

Behind the scenes at American Idol:



On the album version, the song is produced by The Dream (I love the guitar)...

Promise - Ciara (Lyrics for my baby)

These lyrics are for my baby:

"Promise"

Come enjoy the life
Baby take a ride
I just wanna vibe with you, you
Baby you and I can have a good time

Tell me what you like
Oo oo

[Spoken]
Now listen
I've been single for a while now
And I've been kind of lonely
But I'm looking for somebody to talk to,
Love me, someone who can hold me,
Is that you?

I'm looking for somebody I can call boo
Looking for the only one that I can give my all to
Tell me if it's you, you, you
What you wanna do, do, do
Make your move
You can be my teacher
I'll do homework
You can give me extra credit, baby
I'll do more work
What you wanna do, do, do
Now it's me and you, you, you
Make a move

This mood is so right
It feels so right
You can be my prince
My knight
You can be my superman

Save me here I am

'Cause baby
There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

You and me together
Picture perfect
I'll spend all my money all my time
Because you're worth it

It's just me and you, you, you
What you wanna do, do, do
Make a move
Call me mama, spoil you like a baby
Thinking about you, dreaming about you
Got me going crazy

What you wanna do, do, do
Now it's me and you, you, you
Make a move

This mood is so right
It feels so right
You can be my prince
My knight
You can be my superman
Save me here I am

Baby
There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy
There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

[Spoken]
I mean everything that I say
From the bottom of my heart
I will never, never ever hurt you
I open my heart

Open my heart
Give it to you
Tell the whole world that I'm in love with you
Whatever you want
Baby I'll do
I know I don't want nobody else but you


There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy
There's nothing I won't do
To spend my life with you
I'll give my all to you
I promise that I will never lie to you boy

Baby - I wanna spend my life with you....

Destiny - Zero 7 (Cover Video)

Tatiana sent me this video today:



She told me she wants me to sing it at her wedding... awww....

The lyrics:

Destiny (by Zero 7) 

I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite

The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

PM Dawn - I'd Die Without You

This is for you:




I'd Die Without You


Is it my turn to wish you were lying here?
I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping.
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world?
Or even imagine your emotions... tell myself anything...
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands?
Tell you I love you and you not hear me...
Is it my turn to totally understand?
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing...

(Chorus)
If I have to give away...
The feeling that I feel.
If I have to sacrifice...
Oh, whatever babe, whatever baby.
If I have to take apart...
All that I am...

Is there anything that I would not do,
since I'd die without you...
Yeah baby
since I'd die without you...
since I'd die without you...

Oh, I apologize for all the things I've done.
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning...
Is it my turn to be the one to cry?
Isn't it amazing how some things completely turn around...

So take every little piece of my heart...
Yeah, take every little piece of my soul...
Yeah, take every little piece of my mind...
'Cause if you're gone... inside...
I'd die without you...

…Til The Cops Come Knockin’ - Maxwell

Some lyrics are just freaking awesome...

My fav line:
"Or were you embarrassed about the way you freaked?"....


…Til The Cops Come Knockin’

Didn’t you dig the way I rubbed yo back girl
Wasn’t it cool when first I kissed yo lips
Was it enough to penetrate yo dark world
Or were you embarrassed about the way you freaked
Well I wanna hold you
I wanna know you baby
If it’s alright

Gonna take you in the room suga’
Lock you up and love for days
We gonna be rockin baby
Till the cops come knockin
Pappa gonna have to leave
A message on the telephone baby
There won’t be no stoppin’ me
Till the cops come knockin’

Six on a Thursday night and you be jonesin baby
For a brother to hold you tight and keep on goin
Last lover came and went
Didn’t even hug n’ kiss you n’ caress you
Gimme a call it’s cool the M’s all open
Im open wider than oceans
I’ll be your lotion
If it’s alright

Gonna take you in the room suga’
Lock you up and love for days
We gonna be rockin baby till the cops come knockin

Please you tease you eat you
Make you feel so good inside
Loving you long if that’s alright?

Gonna take you in the room suga’
Lock you up and love for days
We gonna be rockin baby till the cops come knockin
