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]

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)...
