lyrics

charlie moonbeam:
i’ve seen you in a lonely place
how could you be so blind
yer still regretting the Love you left, left behind

oh darlin’, I’ve seen you go thru them changes
sitting alone each night
are you expecting to find a Love?
Love that’s right?

darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl, you’ll never find a Love that’s right
darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think yer so wise, yer so wise

there are times when you need someone
i will be by yer side
i take my chances before they pass
pass me by
oh darlin’, there is a light that shines
special for you and me
you’ve got to look on the other side
you’ll agree

darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl, you’ll never find a Love that’s right
darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl, you’ll never find a Love that’s right
darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl, you’ll never find a Love that’s right
darlin’ open yer eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think yer so wise, yer so wise

big nick:
i never knew a luh-love, love, a love like this
it’s gotta be somethin' for me to recite this
queen, i haven’t seen you in a minute
so i wrote this letter and finally decide to send it
signed, sealed, delivered for us to grow together
love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
i’ll never be weathered by what studs did to you
ain't gon' assault 'em 'cause i probably did it too
because of you feelings i handle with care
some kids they recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
you know i ain't the type to walk around with matchin' shirts
but a relationship is effort and i will match your work
i wanna be the one you makes you happiest and hurts you the most
they say the end is near, it's important that we close
to the most high
regardless of what happens on Love let's rely

there are times when you need someone
i will be by your side
there is a light that shines
special for you and me

it's important we communicate
and tune the fate of this union to the right pitch
i’ll never call you my bitch or even my boo
there's so much in a name and so much more in you
few understand the union of woman and man
sex and a tingle is where they assumin’ it land
but that's fly by night for you in the sky i write
and these cold Chi nights, Moon, you my light
if heaven had a height, you would be that tall
ghetto to coffee shop, girl, i see through all
let's stick to understandin' and we won't fall
for better or worse times, i hope to me you call
so i pray everyday more than anything friends we’ll stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family, love ain't simple, how can it be?
anything worth having you work at annually
granted we only known each other for some time
it don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

there are times when you need someone
i will be by your side
there is a light that shines
special for you and me
