Eric Benet - Love & Life (2008) by Eric Benet (보컬) on maniadb.com

I believe in the power
inside of my heart
God is the source
from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great
and no cause too small
This infinite love
is inside of us all

My buddy Greg lost his leg
serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking thinking of things
he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile
but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon
second year in a row
Oh there's a storm
that you're gone have to ride
in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves
when you're lost in your life
Just hold on
and you'll go with the tide
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
Oh na na na na na na
I knew a girl a pretty girl
but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy
left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive
before her heart grows colder
And all the love
she's dreaming of
maybe then she will know
we've got stories and people
to blame for our lives
No don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie
the only way is to
leave the past behind
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Love patience and time
And it won't be long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
There's so much more
inside you and me
That the world needs to still
believe Nothing's too great
for this God and me
Keep in mind love and life
Everything is gonna be alright

Grab a gun everyone
said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change
the will of the other side
Some people swear
that blood and fear
will bring the world together
I believe that all we need love
patience and time
Love patience and time
And it won't take long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Love patience and time
And it won't be long
and it's gonna be alright
Love patience and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine

I'm going back to the day we parted
And all the ways
you were broken hearted
Take a trip everyday in my mind
I see your face
I recall it few word
Its playing back
like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eye
if I do what I know
I'd walk back in time
I will write every wrong
I would change every line
and you'll be here right now
Just like yesterday
But you'd feel no more doubts
When you hear me say
You're the only one I want
you're the only one
You're the only one
I need in my life
in my life baby
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
I see the world through
a haze of memories
And then the girls don't
mean a damn thing to me
It's kind a sad
how they just don't compare
Time will tell let's wait and see
if our love we had was meant to be
Coz I know we got a
future out there
coz you're still my girl
I don't care what they say
let's go back to our world
Baby don't you throw this love away
coz I still believe
In the magic of us
this is the matter of time
And it's a matter of trial
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
Now girl it took sometime
to get real with myself

Now love ain't easy sometimes
But if you find it
we'll stay together
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I want
You're the only one
I need in my life
You're the only one I love
You're the only one
I need in my life

Now the heat of
love feels like
it's starting to cool
I hear the bells
but they don't right
the way they used to
It looks like breakin up
is our next obvious move
but let's not move too soon
You see the problem goin
round too often these days
People throwin
in the towel once
they pass the honeymoon phase
A stronger love awaits if
we endure this pain
Or else we've lived these years
cried these tears in vain
I'm sayin
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
I've worked your patience girl
and you workin my nerves
We scream at each other
but we're not
hearing one word
We made mistakes that
neither one of us deserves
Leaving much desired
when love's concerned
I saw an old man and
his wife early today
They were holding hands
his eyes locked in her gaze
Think of all the times they came
so close to parting ways
In my mind I could him say
stay babe
Don't let go
I could hear him say
Don't let go
don't throw the love away
No don't let go
you know we're
worth it baby
Don't let go
Don't let it go
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
With some other girl
I could move on
trading old problems
just for new
To some other guy
you could belong
goin thru changes
we've been thru
When another brotha is
tryin to make a play
Oh no don't you let go
When another woman is up
in my face
Oh I better not let go
When the honemoon
starts to fade away
Oh no I won't let go
If we're gonna make it
I wanna hear you say
Oh no I swar I won't let go
Don't let go
that's all I'm sayin
Don't let go
oo girl let's stop playin
No don't let go
think of all the love
we've been makin
Don't let go
don't let it go
Don't let go
I could hear him say
Don't let go
don't throw this love away
No Don't let go
you know we're worth it baby
Don't let go
don't let it go
I could hear him say

I never thought it was possible
in my reality
I thought my chances
for love were gone
that time ran out for me
my heart has been through some
changes
and heaven knows
what I thought was my everlove
was so conditional
but my love everyday with you
I'm so surprised
morning comes
I fall in love again each night
I'm thanking GOD you're
in my life
I don't know how I know
but this feeling
won't be ending
everlove oh my everlove
ever lasting through all changes
in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday
and every night
I found my everlove

I'll never ask for perfection
that's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth
in your heart the rest
we'll work out day by day
you've seen the best
and worst of me
and you're still standing here
oh there is nothing that
can stop us now
cause we've got nothing
left to fear
the future will show
the power in a moment
just like this
whatever love can dream we both
will know
whatever we imagine will exist
with every kiss
I swear my life will be
deserving of you
everlove oh my everlove
everlasting through all
changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever giving ever
learning with every cry
I found my ever love
the winds of changes will blow
come what may
your friends may come may go
I'll never go away
these struggles of life
they my put us
through the fire
but as long
as I'm alive
I'll be right there
by your side
everlove oh my everlove
everlasting through all
changes in our lives
everlove you're my everlove
ever growing everyday
and every night
I never know that love
could feel this way
let's share a life of
love together
baby
everlasting through all changes
in our lives
come what may
I'm gonna be here
with you love you forever
till my life is through
ever giving
ever learning with every cry

I found my everlove

This world has up and gone
crazy I'm out here
working trying to make it
Girl it's so rough in
this city There ain't no resting
for the weary
So baby feel me
I need something to feel
So my spirit can heal
I need you to wrap
them chocolate legs 'round me
So when I come home tonight
you'll make everything alright
When you wrap them chocolate legs
around me
The memory of my day will quickly
just fade away When you come wrap
them chocolate legs
'round me Please baby
wrap them chocolate legs 'round me
Your cocoa skin against mine
babe Is all I need to help revive me
Just touch me and
I feel pure pure love
You're the only thing
I'm ever sure of
your love I'm sure of
I need some reminding
That God is still
He's still behind me Baby
come take my soul and set me free
When you come wrap
your chocolate legs round me
So when I come home tonight
you'll make everything alright
When you come wrap them
chocolate legs around me
I need you to understand
and make me glad I'm a man
Deep inside you
that's where I need to be Oh baby
wrap them chocolate legs around me

I need some reminding
That God is still
He's still behind me So
baby take my soul and set me free
I want you to know
how much you mean to me
When you come wrap
them chocolate legs 'round me
home tonight

Another Friday comin' round I think I know
what I need
a little time to escape from the pressures
of this week
I wanna see the city lights with someone
on my arm
but she gotta be just right to compliment
my charms

I'm not tryin' to lock her down not tryin' to
get too deep
cause she don't want to complicate her
life just like me
I might steal a kiss for her as we step
across the floor
we gon' set it off tonight cause what I'm
lookin' for is a

I once believed that the face of love would be so clear to see one kiss conceives giving birth to endless joy that's what i believed but i've been slapped out my trance from this bliss of ignorance while the stench of disappointment i would breathe i've played the roles brilliantly the villain, the victim, and in between pushed the limits of my strength and sanity chorus: still i believe in love still i believe in love still i believe in love still i believe in love your eyes your eyes if given half a chance could slice my heart in two i've tried at least a half a dozen times probably the same for you i've been the angel, been the beast i've been confused and had clarity i went the distance only to find there was nothing there take your hearts place your bets on this game of russian roulette if you loose they won't remember or even care chorus though i walk thru the valley i don't fear you i'll never stop believing though i hear you i know you're looking but you'll never find me whenever i smile you are grieving (still i believe) whenever love's around me you are leaving (still i believe) shut the hell up now and get behind me (still i believe) shut the hell up and get behind me (still i believe) reapeat chorus

Can I tell u shall I count the way Can I find the words that could explain I have my heart of my life soul u changed forever U ease my pain with such gentle hand When im with u im a better man And I never ever understand the way That u sing to me without musical words The Sweetest melody that I’ve ever heard When I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Cause u sing to me There so much evil in the world today Everybody tried to made a way Looking for a peace love to make Get better But we can make it through and rise above With ur letter says I made of love And I know that will be strong enough to Go on and go on and go on cause u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard Sweet enough to make me cry Cause it keeps a lover lie Sing to me sing baby And leaving through the fire I don’t want love will find a way And ur the reason why I gotta I’m singing stronger everyday u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody that I ve ever heard Cause when I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Sing to me oh~ sing baby u sing to me without musical words Sweetest melody(ooh sweetest melody) that I ve ever heard Sweet enough to make me cry(make me cry) Cause it keeps a lover lie U sing to me u sing to me Without musical word Sweetest melody that I’v ever heard Cause When I look in to ur eyes I hear the song that never dies Cause u sing to me (everytime I look in to ur eyes its like I can hear) u sing to me Sing to me ( I love u so much babe)

Last night I dreamed my life
was over and done
The angels threw me high above
They called it Heaven
but I know it was a lie
For when I
looked you weren't inside
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you

Last night my dream revealed
the day could soon come
Without your kiss your
touch your love
The first tears of Heaven
ever cried would be mine
Till you were
there right by my side
If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my
final hours yes I would

Sometimes life makes us
feel so secure
Like our days will
last forever
Time will come when
I'll be no more
think of me and Just remember

If I had only one more tomorrow
I'd spend that day with you
I'd feel no pain
or sorrow there with you
If I had only one more tomorrow
Imagine if you could
I'd spend my
final hours yes I would
