Lyrics

[Eric Benet]
Ooh...ooh
Umm...ooh
La...la...la
Ooh...yeah

[Eric Benet]
I never knew such a day could come
And i never knew such a love could be inside of one
And i never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

[Tamia]
I never knew til i looked in your eyes {oh baby}
I was incomplete til the day you walked into my life {umm...hmm}
And i never knew that my heart could feel so precious and pure
One love so real, real

[Eric Benet]
Can i just see you every morning when (every morning, babe)
I open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night (every day)
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
(Can i just spend my life) Can i just spend my life with you {umm...hmm}

[Eric Benet]
Now baby the days and the weeks and the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside of you and i

[Tamia]
And baby I'll never find any words that could explain
Just how much my heart, my life, my soul you've changed

[Tamia]
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world i'm your woman and you're my man
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can i just spend my life with you

[Eric Benet]
No touch has ever felt so wonderful (you are incredible)

[Tamia]
Not a deeper love I've ever known {never let you go}

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
I swear this love is true [now and forever to you, to you...oh...oh] [tone
change]

[Eric Benet & Tamia]
Can i just see you every morning when i open my eyes
Can i just feel your heart beating beside me every night
Can we just feel this way together til the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms when no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
{You're my woman} and (you're my man)
Can you just feel how much i love you with one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you [forever here with you]
Can I just spend my life with you

[Tamia] Can I just see you every morning when i open my eyes
[Eric Benet & Tamia] Oooh....oooh 

A Song For you

Once, a few years back, my ex-sis-in-law (yeah that`s right, my bro used to be married to her)asked me to sing at her wedding (yeah, that`s right, they got divorced and she was getting re-married) to sing at her wedding. I sang at her first wedding (YES, her wedding to my brother, jeez you have a lot of questions) and so she thought it might be special if I sang at her second as well (Yay for me!). The first time I was like 17, and I sang "Evergreen" by Barbra Streisand...
"Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we`ve learned to sail above
Time wont change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen"

So, this time I was like 25, and I wanted to do something more soulful. I felt my style and taste had changed and she had no requests. So, I thought for a long time... and I came up with "A Song for You" by Donny Hathaway....

"love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you"

That song has stayed with me ever since. I think of it often and sing it when I`m in the car, shower, backyard... LOL... I still love that song. Oh God, it`s just amazing.
