Brian Mcknight - From There To Here : 1989-2002 [compilation] (2002) by Brian Mcknight (보컬) on maniadb.com

Maybe time and space will run and
continue on like Einstein said
And maybe time travel
might even be possible
but long after we're dead
Maybe the sun revolves
around the earth
we don't think it do
Maybe serendipity brought
you here to meet me to you
Maybe for a sudden
my woman said
this thing here can't possibly last
And maybe just maybe
I want somethin more from you
than to get some as
Maybe there are things
you could put me through
Maybe we should do the
things that lovers do
So let me love you
with all that I've got
Let me love you
from the top to the bottom
from the bottom to the top
Let me hold you
touch you tease you
please you Let me love you
Maybe April showers
don't bring me flowers
it's all been a lie
Maybe the sky ain't blue and maybe
Tiger might lose
and babies don't cry
And maybe my felonious and
trained weren't really that good
And maybe everyone
that didn't place
or show didn't give
it all they could
Maybe foresight is tellin
you that this here thing can't last
And maybe just maybe
I want somethin more from you
then to get some as
Maybe there's some things
I might put you through
Maybe we should do the things
that lovers do So let me
love you
with all that I've got
Let me love you from the top
to the bottom
from the bottom to the top
Let me hold you
touch you tease you
and please you Let me love you
My brothers help me see
That maybe this is heaven sent
Maybe this is heaven sent
Maybe this could be
as good as it get's
Maybe this could be
as good as it get's
everything you need and more
Everything you need and more
Maybe all that I've been waitin for
All that I've been waitin for
just the way that it should be
Just the way that it should be
standin right in front of me
Standin right in front of me
Maybe there are things
you will put me through
But maybe you were made for me
and I was made for you
Let me love you yes
with all that I've got
Let me love you
from the top to the bottom
Bottom to the top
You're all I got
Love you oh
with all that I've got
Let me love you
from the top to the bottom
Bottom to the top
You're all I got
Let me love you
let me love you let me love you
baby

I remember how you used to
wait by the phone
Counting every minute
that I was gone
And you used to call me
sweet things
in the morning light
After you would hug me
so tender
Each and every night
Lately you got so much to do
And your never at home
By the time I get to see you
You need your time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you
But I need to know
Is this the way love goes
Say it isn't so
Is this the way love goes
Is this the way love goes
Right before my eyes
Wearing a disguise
I need to know
Is this the way love goes

Staring at a photograph of you
and I inframed
When I blink my eyes you
start to fade away
Oh I recall that day in fall
and all the things you said
All of the promises
that you never kept
Lately you got so much to do
And you're never at home
When I finally get to see you
You need you're time alone
I've been too afraid to ask you
But I need to know
Is this the way love goes
Say it isn't so
Is this the way love goes
Is this the way love goes
Right before my eyes
Wearing a disguise
I need to know
Is this the way
Is this the way love goes
Everybody needs to a love
they can count on
I'm the kind of man who needs to
know exactly where I stand

Is this the way
Stayin up late at night
I'm wondering
How we can make it right
Is this the way love goes
Never gonna say goodbye
I'm crying
Find a way to make it right

Stayin up late at night
I'm wondering
How we can make it right

Never gonna say goodbye
I'm crying

My shattered dreams
and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing
all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you
nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
before I leave it all behind
I've got a put you out
a my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess
I'm down to my last cry
Cry
I was here you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
before I leave it all behind
I've got a put you out
a my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I got a be strong
Cause round me life goes on
and on and on
And on

I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry
One last cry
before I leave it all behind
I've got a put you out
a my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
To my last cry

They say it's a river
circles the earth
A beam of light shining
to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything
They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle
and I believe that it is
It conquers all
but it's a mystery
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
In this world we've created
Where this place that we lived
In a blink of an eye
the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
unites the love
that's for eternity
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it in
to the beauty that remains
Look at this place
It was paradise but now it's dying
I'll brave the love
I'll take my chances that
it's not too late

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And fades away so easily
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it in
to the beauty that remains

I can hear her heart beat
for a thousand miles
And the heavens open up
every time she smiles
And when I come home to her
that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her
like a river's song
she gives me love love love love
crazy love
she gives me love love love love
crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor
when I'm feeling low down
And when I come home to her
when the sun goes down
She takes my troubles all away
takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache
in the night like a thief
she gives me love love love love
crazy love
she gives me love love love
crazy love
Yes I need Yes I need
her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
I want to throw my arms around her
To kiss her hug her kiss her
hug her tight

And when I'm returning
from so far away
She gives me such sweet lovin
brightens up my day
And makes me righteuos
and makes me whole
And it makes me mellow
down to my soul
she gives me love love love love
crazy love
she gives me love love love
crazy love
she gives me love love love love
crazy love
she gives me love love love
crazy crazy love

Maxine was 59
Had a man and she didn't mind
Walked up to me nice and slow
What she wanted I did not know
Gave me her pager number
And said call her anytime
Then she whispered in my ear
She said
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
Keep it On the down and low
Keep it On the down and low
She says that he
Doesn't take her anywhere
Used to say sweet things
Acts like he doesn't even care
Deprived of all the things
She misses wants wishes and needs
Got hotter than a hundred an three
She turned and said to me
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
Keep it On the down and low
Keep it On the down and low
I wouldn't treat you that way
If you were my lady
I wouldn't share you
You'd be mine and mine alone no no
If he continues wastin your time
Girl he's crazy
I'll take her
Maxine looked into my eyes
Wanted me to be the other guy
Cos tonight she's needin
someone to hold
Lonely nights can be oh so cold
He thinks that she's content
Cos he buys her cars
And he pays her rent
But she's not ready to leave
She turned and said to me
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it On the down and low
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know

I think I must be dreaming
That you are here with me
Must have died and gone to heaven
And it's all that
I hoped it would be
When the eagles forget how to fly
When it's twenty below in July
And when violets turn red
And roses turn blue
I'll still be in love with you

I live to be around you
You take my breath away
Can't help but talk about you
Every night and day
When eagles forget how to fly
And it's twenty below in July
And when violets turn red
And roses turn blue
I'll still be in love with you
All I need is you
Need you just to hold me console me
Over and over I love you

When the eagles forget how to fly
And it's twenty below in July
And when violets turn red
And roses turn blue
I'll still be in love with you

Still in love with you

I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was
so meant to be yeah
Forever was the promise
in our hearts
Now more and more
I wonder where you are
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
Do you ever wake up
reaching out for me
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
I miss you

Still have your picture
in a frame
Hear your footsteps
down the hall
I swear I hear your voice
driving me insane
How I wish that you would call
To say
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
Do you ever wake up
reaching out for me
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
No more loneliness and heartache
No more crying myself to sleep
Don't want no more
wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me
Come back to me
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
Do you ever wake up
reaching out for me
Do I ever cross
your mind anytime
I miss you

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

say you've seen too many things
that turn out to be too
good to be true
Against your better judgment
opened up your heart
til you found the joke was on you
Looking out on the rest
of our lives
If we're gonna be together or apart
About the only way
I know how to come
is right straight from my heart
I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
Say you'll never fall again
You won't subject
yourself to such pain
If you give me half a chance I will
I Never leave you standing
out in the rain
But if you think that
I could look you in your face
and lie right through my teeth
then turn around and walk away
Cross my heart girl
I care for you when
I look into your eyes i must say
I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
Gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
cause you're the only one for me

I want you now
I'll show you how
I can be the man you need me to be
I've been around
but now I've found
that you're the only one for me
I need you so
I can't let go
I'm gonna be all that I can be
I want you still
I always will
cause you're the only one for me

Mase and Brian McKnight Bad Boy
We don't stop we rock we rock
Yo
I hit you with the sound that
the world can't take
Can't sit out the gig playing 28
Real studded jewel funded
Got to love it
First rap cat with the R&B budget
Every day on the TV me and PD
Girl's so pretty
make their man break the CD
Why y'all forever roudy
I be out here somewhere in Maui
Till I go back to Cali
Can't understand
how he can treat you
the way that he does
Give me the chance to show you baby
your better off with me
so will you let me try
I wanna make you smile
I wanna love you
like you need to be loved
I'll never let you go
I'll always be around
And you should be mine
If he don't love you right
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
If he don't treat you like he should
You should be mine
You should be mine
Why can't you see
You should be happy
And I don't know why
you don't believe a man
can love you
for the rest of your life
So baby let me try
I wanna make you smile
I wanna love you like you
need to be loved
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
And you should be mine
If he don't love you right
Don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
If he don't treat you
like he should now
Then you should be mine
You should be mine
Yo What the deal honey
Insecure feel funny
I know you're used to dealin
with cats with real money
Plus I know you're like
Mase in alot of ways
But it's hard to go on when
you're lonely in the holidays
When you shopping did you shop for 2
Take you where the waters aqua blue
Let you fall back
Treat you like you're all that
Under umbrellas with your
shades and straw hat
You ain't the one out
clubbing all day and all night
Just to save a fight
Or say he's right
And I know he ain't the cat
that will stay in you life
Even though he gave you ice gown
that will make you his wife
How a man deserve you if he hurt you
Then he give a woman 25 a curfew
Between me and you
you ain't heard that from me
Cuz Mase ain't
the player with the PhD
Girl come into my world
I love you the way
that you need to be loved
No worries no more
Girl open the door
And don't waste your time
Cuz you should be mine
If he don't love you right
Don't waste your time
don't waste your time
If he don't treat
you like he should
And you should be mine
If he don't love you right
Don't waste your time
don't waste your time
If he don't treat
you like he should
And you should be mine

It's undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable,
how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know
If you just don't know how I feel
Then let me show you that now I'm for real
If all the things in time, time will reveal Yeah
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me and
Four, repeat steps one thru three
Five make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
It's so incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know
what it's all about, hey
And undesirable for us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
'Cause you know you've got the
keys to my heart 'Cause...
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me and
Four, repeat steps one thru three
Five make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child,
whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me and
Four, repeat steps one thru three
Five make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one

Ooh, ooh
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep?
In the middle of the night when you're awake,
Are you calling out for me?
Do you ever reminisce?
I can't believe in nothing like this
I know it's crazy
How I still can feel your kiss
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much
and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
Do you ever ask about me?
Do your friends still tell you what to do?
Every time the phone rings,
Do you wish it was me calling you?
Do you still feel the same?
Or has time put out the flame?
I miss you
Is everything okay?
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much
and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
It's hard enough just passing the time
When I can't seem to get you off my mind
And where is the good in goodbye?
Tell me why, tell me why
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
I miss you so much
and I don't know what to say
I should be over you
I should know better but it's just not the case
It's been six months,
eight days, twelve hours
Since you went away
Sing it for me
Ooh, ooh...

First
first I looked into your eyes
I saw heaven oh
heaven in your eyes
Everything I did before you
Wasn't worth my while
it should of been you
You all the time
I'll do anything
And everything
to please you
You know how much I need you
You're always always on my mind
You're more than wonderful
More than amazing

Love of my life

Here in these arms tonight
The irreplaceable

I'll tell you why

The irreplaceable

You're so incredible
Here in these arms of mine
The irreplaceable

You're so incredible
Here in these arms tonight
The irreplaceable

Thinking back
When we first met
I remember what you said
You said you'd never leave me
I let go of your hand
Built my castle in the sand
But now I'm reachin' out again
And I'm not letting go
Till you
Hold me
Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See I gotta find
my way back home
So why don't you
Shape me
make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
Back home
Master upon my knees i pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in your hands
Lord I know I'm just a man
Know you understand
This time I'm not letting go
Till you
Anoint me
Appoint me
Somstimes I feel so alone
See I gotta find
my way back home
So why don't you
Chastise me
Baptize me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way
'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering
Long enough to know
Humbly I search for you
And I'm not gonna rest
Till you
Choose me
Use me
Sometimes I feel so alone
I'm on my way back home
So why don't you
Direct me
Bless me
Wash me whiter then the snow
I'm on my way
Back home

verse 1 :

When i was younger
I never went too far
Held my feelings
I never even wanted to start
Till when i met you
I didn't know
What you were gonna do with my heart

Bridge :
When you talk (hang on every word you say)
When you move (like the breeze of a summer day)
When you smile
The sky turns from gray to blue
That's what you do

Chorus :
And you're the kind of girl i think of
And you're the king of girl i dream about
My heart is telling me i need you in my world
Cause you're my kinda lady, you're my kinda girl.

Verse 2 :
When i'm not with you
Wherever you are
Baby i'm counting
The moments till i'm back in your arms
All i want is to have you here with me
Every night every day

Bridge
Chorus

Bridge 2:
Baby girl i need you by side
And if you're there everything will be alright
Cause this is the time for us
Baby be mine

Chorus till end.

You found me
At the bottom of a bottle
Drownin'
In the deaths of my sorrow
A stranger
Gone too far to forgive
Dying with no will to live

Then you held me
So close to your heart
And you told me
It's gonna be alright

Chorus:
You're the reason
That I'm still alive
These are more than
Just words that I write
This is love that we're making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life

You came to me
Put your hand in my hand
Salvation
From my demons within
Escape from a definite end
When like you said
I could win

Then you showed me
What life should be like
Cause I have you
Right here by my side

Chorus:
You're the reason
That I'm still alive
These are more than
Just words that I write
This is love that we're making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life

This is the way it should be
You're opened my eyes
And now I can see
This is the way
I wanna stay
For now
For the rest of my life

Chorus:
You're the reason
That I'm still alive
These are more than
Just words that I write
This is love that we're making
There ain't no mistaking
For you I've been waiting
Thank you for saving my life
Thank you for saving my life
