So Sweet
03:27
|

It was so sweet
It was so nice
It was everything I wanted it to be
It was so right
It was not a line
So yeah, baby, come see about me
I was walking in the sun
Thinking bout where I would have my lunch
Feeling kinda blah and low
Then stepped out and you said hello
It was so sweet
It was so nice
It was everything I wanted it to be
It was so right
It was not a line
So yeah, baby, come see about me

Since You've Been Gone
03:18
|
|||
I am here all alone
No one here but the phone
Ain't nobody reaching out to me
Quiet is the only ring
Silence that is deafening
Ain't nobody worried bout me
Since you've been gone I am all alone
Everything is wrong cause ain't nobody home
You've been gone too long and I just can't move on
Since you've been gone
Solitaire is the game that I've been playing
Ain't nobody thinking bout me
There ain't no win or loose
There's just me and no you
No one round to talk to but me
Since you've been gone I am all alone
Everything is wrong cause ain't nobody home
You've been gone too long and I just can't move on
Since you've been gone
You're heart's my heart
Bone calls to bone
Ill be standing here waiting till you come home

Everything Is Beautiful
04:38
|
|||
Everything is beautiful when there's nothing going on
But is everything as beautiful when things are going wrong
Cause I found that blessings aren't just given to the swift and strong
They're given to everyone
Everything is wonderful when you feel at home
But is everything as wonderful when you're all alone
Cause I found that living life ain't about the bling you got on
It's about what you got in your heart
It's time to live your lives just like the sun is always out even when there's rain
Let's open up your eyes and see the beauty in our lives even when there's pain
Yes
Everything is marvelous when you when you got everything
But is everything as marvelous when there's nothing to your name
Cause I found that true worth doesn't come from your name or your birth
But it comes from the life you've earned
Everything seems beautiful, wonderful, marvelous when you've got it all
But is everything as beautiful, wonderful, marvelous when you're in free fall
Cause I found each day we live
Has it's own special moment
You've just gotta savor it
It's time to live your lives just like the sun is always out even when there's rain
Let's open up your eyes and see the beauty in our lives even when there's pain
It's time to live your lives just like the sun is always out even when there's rain
Let's open up your eyes and see the beauty in our lives even when there's pain
Yes

Anything
03:58
|
|||
Anything you say you want
I'll do that for you
Anything you say you need
I'll do that too
Just say that you'll come home
I won't be left alone, no, no
Cause I don't know what I'd do without you
If all you need's a friend
I'll do that for you
Just need someone to listen
I'll do that too
Just hold my hand sometimes then I know we're fine
Cause I don't know what I'd do without you
Please don't leave me
Cause you're the only place I ever wanna be
Cause I don't want to try
To find out what my life would be like
Anything you say you want
I'll do that for you
Anything you say you need
I'll do that too
Just say you love me
That's all I need
Cause I don't know what I'd do without you

We Are
05:09
|
|||
I'm in the mood for expansion
Seeing my life in new ways
You came along and went with me on a trip exploring
There was no need to see childhood
There was no time for old age
Here and now in the moment that is where we will stay
We explode like a star
Not knowing who and what we are
Surging waters will not cool us off
We are We are
Electric pulses in our brain
Our blood pounding in and out again
Everything and nothing
We Are We Are
Transcend the mind is our mantra
Experience is the key
Preparation isn't needed all we must do is feel
There is a gradual progression
Leading to spiritual exchange
We take off in our airplane built off our fantasy
We explode like a star
Not knowing who and what we are
Surging waters will not cool us off
We are We are
Electric pulses in our brain
Our blood pounding in and out again
Everything and nothing
We Are We Are
On a new plateau
Wondering how far we can go
Leaning into each other's soul
Where it ends we don't know

won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Though I have tried
Mmmm
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mmmm
I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
Mmmm
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Mm mm mm mm mm
Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger
I still really love you
Love is stronger than pride

How Deep is Your Love
04:45
|
|||
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
Is you love like a river winding in and out of your heart
Is your love like a star that lights a way out of the dark
Is your love like embracing hands or like a some eyes in a passing glance
IS your love like the sun beating down but always warm
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
Is your love only charm never real and always false
Is your love like a child, you don't get your way and you cry out loud
Is your love open arms that squeeze too tight and then cause harm
Is your love heaven or hell are you aware enough to tell
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
How deep is your love
How wide and haw long
Is it deep like the ocean or shallow like a pond
How deep is your love
How bitter or how sweet
How tough or how tender
Just how fast does your heart beat
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)
How deep is your love (how deep is your love, how deep is your love, how deep in your love)

Every time I'm With You
05:39
|

Every time I'm with you
I just can't understand what comes over me
You make me feel like I'm dancin' in the rain
My body's sparklin' nothings ever mundane with you
Mm. I can feel the heat of your smile next to me
Mm. Oh your touch just makes be blush so I cannot breath
Mm. There's an itchin' in my soul there's a fire in my brain
Mm. If this is crazy I wanna go insane
Every time I'm with you
Every time I'm with you
Every time I'm with you, It happens
Every time I'm with you
Every time I'm with you it's like a dream
Every sensation's new and somrthing takes hold of me
An energy
Superconductive electricity
Like some universal cosmic wish has come true for me
Mm. Feelin' like a river that's damned up to a stream
Mm. If I cannot touch you feel like I'm gonna scream
Mm. Thinkin' bout your kissin makes my thighs weep and shake
Mm. Gotta have you right no there's no time waste
Every time I'm with you
Every time I'm with you
Every time I'm with you, It happens
Every time I'm with you

Love is Just a Word
04:50
|
|||
They say love is just a word
I say love is something more
It's perserverance when there's no help in sight
It's deliverance when you find out what is right
It's construction: putting together and seeing the truth
It's a revolution believing what you heart says do until it's done
And you've won
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
I say it's all there is
One word can tell it all
One word to show the world
One word just spells it out
This word of strength and power
It's a word throughout the ages shared from mother to son
Father to daughter friend to friend and on and on
Never undone
What a gift to be given
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
I say it's all
There are people in this world
Sad though it may seem
Who live out their whole lives denying that love is real
How can this happen
What should be our reaction
Go back to the definition
Cause love is not an abstraction
It's tangible and it's real
Go out and touch go out and feel
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
And they said that love is just a word
I say it's all

Isn't She Lovely
02:23
|
|||
Isn't she lovely?
Isn't she wonderful?
Isn't she precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love?
Isn't she pretty?
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been Heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us He's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love?
Isn't she lovely?
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely, made from love

Baby Smile
02:55
|
|||
Have you ever seen sunshine light up a room
No, not coming from a window
But right in front of you
And it starts right before your eyes
Eminating from that one authentic smile
That one perfect smile
The kind you know is for real
And know exactly how it feels
Overwhelmed ain't enough of a word
To describe these feelings
They're deeper than you've heard
Nothing prepares you for the love you feel
It knocks you down, picks you up
When you see
That one perfect smile
The kind you know that is real
And know exactly how it feels
Smile!
