Video



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

I've Been Loving You Too Long - Marc Broussard, Otis Redding

Have you ever heard this one?

Sweet and simple, yet so raw and real.
This one's for you baby, you are my love. I have been loving you for too long to stop now...

Video of I've Been Loving You Too Long - Marc Broussard




Lyrics to I've Been Loving You Too Long 


I've been loving you too long to stop now

You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a habit to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no

Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
Good God almighty I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....

Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

 Are you strong enough to be my man?

God, I feel like hell tonight....




Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow

God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand

Are you strong enough to be my man
My man

Nothing's true, and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am

Are you strong enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can

Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough
My man

When I've shown you
That I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand

Would you be man enough to be my man

Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

It Kills Me - Melanie Fiona

 Because you are killing me softly.



It Kills Me Lyrics

Oh yaahh I've got trouble with my friends
Trouble in my life
Problems when you don’t come home at night
But when you do you always start a fight
But I cant be alone , I need you to come on home
I know you messing around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down
Ooooh I gotta be out my mind to think it’s gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave, but the other side still believes
And it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna ooh hoo ohh to you hoo hoo
Should I grab his cell, call this chic up
Start some shhhh then hang up
Or should I be a lady
Oohh maybe cause I wanna have his babies
Ohh yah yahh cause I don’t wanna be alone
I don't need to be on my own
But I love this man
But some things I just can't stand ohhhh
Ive gotta be out my mind
To think its gonna work this time
A part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you
So much I wanna oohh hoo ohhh, to you hoo hooo Should I pay him back to see how he'll react ,to see if he'll React to my love, my love
Oohh I've gotta be out my mind
To think it's gonna work this time Oohh a part of me wants to leave but the other half still believes
and it kills me to know how much I really love you so much I wanna oohh hoo to you hoo hoo

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]
