Lyrics
 
I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love could be inside of one
I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here, I know for sure
I never knew 'til I looked in your eyes (oh, baby)
I was incomplete 'til the day you walked into my life, ooh
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure, our love is 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 'til 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 no 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 'til 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
Forever here with you
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes

@Mel Hopkins I would not had bet an eric benet would have been presented. I shared this to an offline friend, they went into a negative rant on him:) 

Nice duet:)  lovely sharing the lyrics:) beautiful, have you ever written lyrics?

what about man to woman?

or woman to man?

@Cynique that is a rare sighting, a wilson pickett share

Nice man to woman , woman to man:) , and duet

which is the most underrated Franklin or Terrell+Gaye song or interpretation?  For gaye + Terrell their interpretation collection is deemed a standard so this is a potentially hard question but I wonder your thoughts? For franklin who has a large number of songs, i expect you have one that is not well known you adore alot?

Interesting.  So, your friend has a personal relationship with Eric Benet?  

 

I intentionally left blank the man to-woman and woman-to-man “love” song categories.  Some are great sing/alongs but none rise to the level of favorite. 

 

 Eric Benet and Tamia’s “spend my life” feels like the songwriters lived those words.

The diversity and range of artists is interesting.

Infact, I find it delightfully interesting for some reason.
Kind of like wanting to get into the minds of some of you to find out why you choose the particular songs you did and what that background was behind the reasons you liked them.

I'm convinced that if we were doing "something" that brought us intense joy, love, happiness at the time a particular song was playing....it would seal that song in our minds as a favorite even if otherwise hearing it would wouldn't have cared too much for it.

Oh now see......

I thought Richard was being a bit HYPERBOLIC by saying "favorite" love songs; but Mel wanna get all technical....lol.

To make it clear, those songs aren't exactly my "favorites" in the sense of there being no songs better than them.
They're just a FEW of my favorites.

I could list about 30 or 40 songs in each category that I enjoy just as much.

Nor were the songs I submitted my all-time favorites associated with personal experiences.  They were just  eclectic samples chosen for their  lyrics and unique stylings; the rawness of Wilson Pickett, the ecstasy of Aretha Franklin, and the harmony of Marvin and Tammye.  Love in its different ways of expression.

 

i could've just as easily submitted "Adore" by Prince, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, and "Come To Me" by James Ingram and Patti  Austin. (Back in the Day, any love song that my husband and i danced to would apply to all 3 of the categories.)
