This is dedicated to the one I love

Recommended Posts

NGONGE   

Today I’m in a fluffy mood and it so happens that it’s St Valentine’s Day (not that I ever fall victim to such gimmicks). But, I’m in a good mood and since it’s not the done thing to give the wife any flowers, here is a dedication to all you young damsels!

 

 

While I’m far away from you my baby

I know it’s hard for you my baby

Because it’s hard for me my baby

And the darkest hour is just before dawn

 

Each night before you go to bed my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me my baby

And tell all the stars above

This is dedicated to the one I love

 

(life can never be exactly like we want it to be)

I could be satisfied knowing you love me

(but there’s one thing I want you to do especially for me)

And it’s something that everybody needs

 

While I’m far away from you my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me my baby

Because it’s hard for me my baby

And the darkest hour is just before dawn

 

If there’s one thing I want you to do

Especially for me

And it’s something that everybody needs

 

Each night before you go to bed my baby

Whisper a little prayer for me my baby

And tell all the stars above

This is dedicated to the one I love

 

This is dedicated to the one I love

This is dedicated to the one I love

This is dedicated to the one I love

(this is dedicated)

PS

A big plastic rose awaits any lady that correctly guesses the name of the band that sang this song. :D

....which reminds me, the A.Franklin song:

 

 

"....(something, dont remember the whole thing)...before I put up my make up,

I say a little prayer for youuuu."

 

 

I thought for a second that Monsieur Ngonge was gonna ask us to guess the name of the lady that he wrote the poem for! I had thoughts running thru me heard, for a while, until I read it properly (I ain't dyslexic or anything, tho).

 

Btw, St V day is largely assumed to be A Lust Day. Thoughts of the respected strongly agree on that fact.

 

Salaama.

IF he has, it wouldn't be rocket science to guess. ;)

^^ I knew you would get the hint, bossy boots.

How does curry and a stroll at the Thames strike you?

 

 

;)

 

I, I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is all right with me

'Cause you make me feel so brand new

And I want to spend my life with you

 

They say since, baby, since we've been together

Loving you forever

Is what I need

Let me be the one you come running to

I'll never be untrue

 

Let's, let's stay together

Lovin' you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

 

Why, why some people break up

Then turn around and make up

I just can't see

You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)

Staying around you is all I see

(Here's what I want us to do)

 

Let's, we oughta stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Guess this one :D

Too pedestrian.

 

 

Your turn to do some guessing...

 

You do something to me - something deep inside

I'm hanging on the wire - for a love I'll never find

You do something wonderful - then chase it all away

Mixing my emotions - that throws me back again

Hanging on the wire, I'm waiting for the change

I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame - an' feel real again

 

You do something to me - somewhere deep inside

I'm hoping to get close to - a peace I cannot find

^^ Paul Weller

When I first saw you, I saw love.

And the first time you touched me, I felt love.

And after all this time, you're still the one I love.)

 

Looks like we made it

Look how far we've come my baby

We mighta took the long way

We knew we'd get there someday

 

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"

But just look at us holding on

We're still together still going strong

 

(You're still the one)

You're still the one I run to

The one that I belong to

You're the one I want for life

(You're still the one)

You're still the one that I love

The only one I dream of

You're still the one I kiss good night

 

Ain't nothin' better

We beat the odds together

I'm glad we didn't listen

Look at what we would be missin'

 

I'm so glad we made it

Look how far we've come my baby

^^ Now this a powerful ballad smile.gif

Powerful indeed, but not as classic as ---->

 

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

Look into my heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way

 

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

 

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

^^ LOL @ GnP

 

I used to be crazy about that song, and then I heard the remake Brandy did...and that was the end of a blissfully pretentious admiration for B'adams

 

Congrats to Brandy for shattering any love I had for that song, may she continue to wail and weep for ever more
