Letra
There comes a time in everyman's life When he gets tired of fooling around. Juggling hearts in a three ring circus. Some day it will drive a body down to the ground. I never imagined that love would rain on me And make me want to settle down. Baby it's true, I think I do and I just want to tell you that I want to with you and baby if you do too. I want to be with you forever. Forever, baby I want you forever. I want to keep you for the rest of my life. All that's wrong in my world you can make right. You are my savior, you are my light. Forever I want you in my life. There comes a road in every man's journey That he is afraid to walk on his own. I'm here to tell you that I'm at that road And I'd rather walk it with you than walk it alone. You are my hero; you are my future, When I am with you I have no past. Oh baby my one and only desire is find some way in this doggone World to make this feeling last. Oh baby its true I know I do and I want to tell you I that I want to with you and baby if you do too. Forever, forever I want you baby. Baby forever I want to keep you for the rest of my life All that's wrong in my world you can make right You are my savior you are my light forever I want you in my life

- Adore
Letra
Baby, yes Until the end of time I'll be there for you You own my heart and mind I truly adore you If God one day stroke me blind Your beauty I'd still see Love is too weak to define Just what you mean to me From the first moment I saw you Oh, I knew you where the one That night I had to call you I was rapping till the sun came up Telling you just how fine you look In a word, you were sex All of my cool attitude you took My body was next You made love to me Like you where afraid Was you afraid of me? Was I the first? Was I your every fantasy? That's why Until the end of time I'll be there for you You own my heart and mind I truly adore you If God one day stroke me blind Your beauty I'd still see Love is to weak to define Just what you mean to me When we be making love I only hear the sounds Heavenly angels crying up above Tears of joy pouring down on us They know we need each other They know you are my fix I know, that you know that I ain't cheating baby They know this is serious I ain't funking just for kicks, no This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby You could say that I'm a terminal case You could burn up my clothes Smash up my ride, well maybe not the ride But I got to have your face All up in the place I'd like to think that I'm a man of exquisite taste A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace But nothing baby, I said nothing baby could compare To your lovely face Do you know what I'm saying to ya this evening I'm just trying to say I'm just trying to say That until, until the end of time I'll be there for you I'll be there for you On my heart, on my mind, (Truly adore you) I truly adore you (Darling) You don't know what you're mean to me Baby, (Until the end of time) Baby, (I'll be there for you) Baby, (You own my heart and mind) 'Till the end of time I'll be there for you (I truly adore you) Adore you (Adore you) Can I talk to you? Tell you what you mean to me Every time you wander I'll be your eyes so you can see I want to show you things That I show no other, I want to be More than, more than your mother More than your brother I want to be (Like no) like no other If you need me, I'll never leave I know, that you know, without you there is no me There is no me Without you there is no sea There is no shore Love is to weak to define how much I adore You, child You, child The last words you hear The last words you hear (Until the end of time) I'll be there for you, baby (Until the end of time) Be with me darling till the end of time (Until the end of time) I'll give you my heart I'll give you my mind I'll give you my body (Until the end of time) I'll give you my time (Until the end of time) (Until the end of time) For all time I am with you You are with me (Until the end of time) You are with me, you are with me
