"Spend My Life With You"
(feat. Tamia)

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

I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real

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
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I

And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed

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't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to you)
(only for you)
To you
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
Till 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't 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
Can I just see you every morning when I
Open my eyes

YESSSS!!! Folks are right there are way too may great love songs to list, but I'll write a Song is another on up there for me. Phillip Bailey tears this song up at the end.

Art Of Noise-Moments In Love

2pac-Unconditional Love



(What y'all want?)
Unconditional Love (no doubt)
Talking bout the stuff that don't wear off
It don't fade
It'll last for all these crazy days
These crazy nights
Whether you wrong or you right
I'm a still love you
Still feel you
Still there for you
No matter what (hehe)
You will always be in my heart
With unconditional love

Come listen to my truest thoughts, my truest feelings
All my peers doing years beyond drug dealing
How many caskets can we witness
Before we see it's hard to live
This life without God, so we must ask forgiveness
Ask mama why God I got this urge to die
Witness the tears falling free from my eyes
Before she could reply
Though we were born without a silver spoon
My broken down TV, show cartoons in my living room (hey)
One day I hope to make it
A player in this game
Mama don't cry, long as we try
Maybe things change
Perhaps it's just a fantasy
A life where we don't need no welfare
Shit with our whole family
Maybe it's me that caused it
The fighting and the hurting
In my room crying cause I didn't want to be a burden
Watch mama open up her arms to hugging
And I ain't worried bout a damn thang, with unconditional love

[Chorus: 2x ]

In this game the lesson's in your eyes to see
Though things change, the future's still inside of me
We must remember that tomorrow comes after the dark
So you will always be in my heart, with unconditional love

Just got the message you've been calling all week
Been out here hustling on these streets, ain't had a chance to speak
But you know, with you and me it's on G
We could never be enemies, cause you been such a good friend to me
Where would I be without my dogs
No wonder why when times get hard
Cause it ain't easy being who we are
Driven by my ambitions, desire higher positions
So I proceed to make Gs, eternally in my mission
Is to be more than just a rap musician
The elevation of today's generation
If could make 'em listen
Prison ain't what we need, no longer stuck in greed
Time to play and strategize, my family's gotta eat
When we make somethin out of nothing
No pleasure in the suffering, neighborhood would be good
If they could cut out all the busting
The liquor and the weed the cussing
Sending love out to my block
The struggle never stops (unconditional love)

[Chorus]

I'll probably never understand ya ways
With everyday I swear I hear ya
Trying to change your ways while gettin paid at the same time
Just had a baby with the same eyes
Something inside, please let me die these are strange times
How come I never made it
Maybe it's the way the played it in my heart
I knew one day I gotta be a star
My hopes and all my wishes
So many vivid pictures, and all the currency
I'll never even get to see
This fast life soon shatter us
Cause after all the lights and screams
Nothing but my dreams matter
Hoping for better days
Maybe a peaceful night, baby don't cry
Cause everythang gonna be alright
Just lay your head on my shoulder
Don't worry bout a thang baby
Girl I'm a soldier (huh)
Never treated me bad, no matter who I was
You still came with that, unconditional love

You Make Me Feel Brand New - Stylistics

Something In My Heart - Michel'le



I have a soft spot for that song. Couldn't find a better link.

One more;

Con Los Años Que Me Quedan - Gloria Estefan



Beautiful music and lyrics (sorry, it's Spanish). It was our wedding song.

Lyrically, fo now I'm going to go with Lathun's "Fortunate" but that's off the top of my head. Musically and vocally, there are too many to choose from. For the record, in my book lyrically Fortunate > Adore. Read them side-by-side and see.

There you are, rose amongst the weeds
Subtle as the summer breeze, you're perfectly seen
A gift to me, you shine so brightly like a diamond in the sky
And you're the reason why you opened my eyes
You're like a portrait or a picture painted very long ago
A moment frozen in time; immortalized in my mind
Never lost a precious find; a poetic silhouette for my eyes

Fortunately you, you have me, I have you
It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us
It's fortunate that we, we have time, on our side
Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be

Can't imagine me, without the missing piece, like a puzzle incomplete
But together a masterpiece I used to dream
and fantasize of you and I suspended in time and now I'm so overjoyed
That I found the missing piece to to my life
If I could travel back in time for the creation of life
I'm sure that what God intended for me would have been this very thing
Within you divine and supreme

Fortunately you, you have me, I have you
It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us
It's fortunate that we, we have time, on our side
Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be

You're like an architect of sweetness
A man whose never heard can hear the melodies
of your voice when your heart sings a song

You have me, I've got you
It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us
It's fortunate that we, we have time, on our side
Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be

Fortunately you, you have me, I have you
It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us
It's fortunate that we, we have time, on our side
Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be

I love this song!

Never Tear Us Apart-INXS

Don't ask me what u know is true
don't have to tell u I love your precious heart
I... I was standin... u were there....2 worlds colliding
and they will never tear us apart

We could live 4 a thousand years
and if I hurt u I'll make wine from your tears
I told u that we could fly but we all have wings
just some of us don't know why
I was standin u were there 2 worlds colliding
and they could never ever tear us apart

She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals

Right now its "so beautiful" by Musiq Soulchild. I fell in love with it after my guy out it on my phone about a month ago

Drifting-JImi Hendrix

Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love

Sailing home

Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Wow this is hard.....

I'll say The Lonely One-Terry Huff and Special Delivery.

Shower Me With Your Love - Surface
Adore was number two.

I Do Love You- G.Q.
[Edited 2/1/09 13:02pm]

I can't say all time, but immediately "Nothing has ever felt like this" with Rachelle Ferrell and Will Downing came to mind. The anticipation and excitement in their voices still gets me.

Yes, it is.

But here are two of my favorites:

"You Are Everything" - Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye



"I Can't Help It" - Michael Jackson

I find the most beautiful songs seem to be the saddest songs:
"Love Don't here Anymore" by Rolls Royce is one of my favourites;

Revolution said:

It is a good song but there is something about the vocals that make me cringe. It's like All 4 One's "I Swear", the vocals are annoying.

An amazing song...sung by an amazing artist...

bboy87 said:

...and even though I can't sing a lick, everytime it comes on the radio, I start crooning like a MF'r!!!!!

It's really hard for me to pick just one...there are so many that I love,
but I was listening to this just now, thinking "how beautiful"...wow

"How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gees

90% of the msot beautiful songs I've ever heard aren't in English

But, here's some of the most beautiful in English from the top of my head:

"Through the Fire" by Chaka Khan
That song WILL BE PLAYED at my wedding. I think it perfectly sums up a gay marriage.

I look in your eyes and I can see
Weve loved so dangerously
Youre not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me youre gonna play it smart
Were through before we start
But I believe that weve only just begun

When its this good, theres no saying no
I want you so, Im ready to go

Chorus:
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
Id gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
Id take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire

I know youre afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if youll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well Im not ready to kiss that dream goodbye

When its this sweet, theres no saying no
I need you so, Im ready to go

Chorus

Through the test of time

Chorus

Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever

Any Bob Marley love song ...
