I was going through the CD collection and stumbled across Lathun's CD "Fortunate". The single of the same title got a little airplay and video exposure (you know, BET Midnight Love, etc.). This brotha got slept on BIG TIME! Lyrically, he wrote one of the prettiest songs and it seemed to go unnoticed. If you get the chance, pick up his CD and peep track #9 "Fortunate". Then go make some babies.

Lathun|Fortunate

(Verse)
There you are...
A rose amongst the weeds...
settle as the summer breeze...
You're perfectly safe...
A gift to me...
You shine so brightly...
Like a diamond in the sky...
And your the reason why...
You open my eyes...

You're like a portrait or a picture...
Painted very long ago...
A moment frozen in time..
Immortalized in my mind..
Heaven lost a precious find..
A poetic silhouette for my eyes..

(Chorus)
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..

(Verse)
Can't image me..
Without the missing piece..
Like a puzzle incomplete..
But together a masterpiece...
I use to dream..
and fantasize..
of you and I...
Spinnin' in time...
and now I'm so overjoyed...
I've found the missing piece to my life..

If I could travel back in time
For the creation of life...
True that what God intended for me...
Would have been this very thing...
Within you..
divine and supreme..

(Chorus)
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..

(Bridge)
You're like an architect of sweetness
A man..
Whose mellow heart..
Can hear the melodies..
Of your voice...
When your heart sings a song...

(Chorus)
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...


That's lyrics 4 yo AZZ right there!
