All About You

(para la dominicana en Nueva Jersey)

 

 

VERSE

Now every song that I write from this day on

'til the end of time will be all about you

 

Every poem and every line

every turn of phrase and every rhyme will be yours too

 

'cause all I really wanna do is tell the world

about the wonders of you

 

CHORUS

So this is all about you

a sexy symphony

that's been haunting me

 

I wrote this all about you

the prettiest melody singing to me in my dreams

 

This song is all about you

God so loved the world that He created you

perfect you

 

 

VERSE

Now every moment of my life

is a gift of perfection, adoration and deep affection

 

So take a minute to listen to what I'm sayin

and what I'm feelin here

cause this is all about you

 

 

CHORUS

So this is all about you

a sexy symphony

that's been haunting me

 

I wrote this all about you

the prettiest melody singing to me in my dreams

 

This song is all about you

God so loved the world, God so loved the world

I wrote this song about you

God so loved the world that He created you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Closer

It's easy  to see why your love makes me feel so good

It's easy  to see why your love lifts me high

It's no surprise  (that I love you)

 

So, come a bit closer,  Love

It's alright

Just a little bit closer,  Love

It's alright

 

Spending my day daydreamin' away

Spending my day just daydreamin'

Wishing you were here

I want you closer

Contending with my fears

I still need you closer

 

The days, they grow so long here

without you near

I feel,  I fear

you're gone for good

 

And what good is a daydream

if you can't hear

my simple plea

stay here with me

 

So,  come a bit closer,  Love

It's alright

Just a little bit closer,  Love

 

Spending my day daydreamin' away

spending my day just daydreamin

 

You're on my mind

no matter how I try

to do other  things ( I tried,  I swear)

Hey,  I don't wanna be

the one who's needy,

but you make me wanna sing 

 

So, come a bit closer, Love

it's alright

Just a little bit closer, Love

it's alright

Come a bit closer...

Lady Brown

 

 

In my mind, when it's quiet sometimes,

I know that you are near.

When life gets rough, 

and my inner strength is not enough

(I know that you'll be here.)

 

I say it's only  this one mountain to climb.

So,  I'll take just a little one day at a time.

If I listen to my heart,

things will turn out just fine.

 

I'm just fine 'cause that's how I do.

When I'm feeling troubled, I call on you.

And then the spirit moves me, and I find you in the groove

asking for the answers 'cause you know what to do.

 

I'm fine 'cause every day I see your face in the morning sun

And I know when my work here is done, we'll "walk around Heaven all day."

 

In my mind, when it's quiet sometimes I know that I'll see you again.

 Self-Love

                                                                                                                                              

It's just another day

me in a slow embrace,

a sexy dance with myself

 

Chorus:

I feel so high

I can touch the sky

I am my own prize

It's just 'I and I'

And that's just fine.

 

My inner child loves to play hide & seek

looking for the beauty inside,

the place where my soul runs deep.

 

I feel so high

I can touch the sky

And that is divine.

And that is just fine

 

I'm searching for the realest and truest me,

the closest to divine that I can be

(I feel so high....)

I'm searching for the truest and realest me,

the place where my shines for all to see

This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine

 

Everyday is my day.

I can waste it away, or ,even the world I could save.

Anything is possible 'cause my heart is open and my mind unchained

I feel so high and my Light shines

IN GOD WE TRUST (Movie Theme)

(Words and Music by FUNKYLB for Lady Brown’s Child Music © 2005)

 

VERSE I:

In God we trust

to hear our prayers

and to save us all

 

He'll make a way out of no way

and He will provide

all we have to do is realize

all we have to do is realize

 

CHORUS:

that He loves us so

more than our heartbreak may show

and He keeps us close

closer than we'll ever know

He loves us just as we are

in God we should trust

to deliver us

 

BRIDGE:

 Don't hang your head down low today,

but get down on your knees and sincerely pray

'cause in God

we can trust always

 

VERSE II:

Have faith

put your worries aside

trust in His love

and let his example be your guide

let Him lift you up

and the right path you'll find inside 

acceptance and peace of mind

 

REPEAT CHORUS

FALLIN FEELS LIKE THIS

Words and Music by FUNKYLB for Lady Brown’s Child Music © 2005

 

 

VERSE:

Hey maybe we could be in love for eternity

If you would linger here with me

for a while

 

talk about how much I love your hair

Or deeper things I don’t really care

just vibe, just vibe with me for hours and hours

 

wanna know the colors of your mind

who you love and how you spend your time

what paints you blue

and makes you cry

 

CHORUS:

Is this what it feels like

Is this what it feels like

‘cause this feels alright, alright

Is this what it really feels like

Is this what it really feels like

‘cause I’m fallin’

fallin’

 

If Fallin feels like this

Then Fallin’ is such bliss

If Fallin’ feels like this

Then Fallin is such bliss

 

VERSE:

It’s not everyday that you meet

a soul digging on poetry

and in the "bluest of eyes" reveling

in the verses of Marti (Jose Marti, Jose Marti)

 

 

I’d like to know your meter and rhyme

The syncopation in your sighs

Let’s breathe together this melody

Come fall with me

‘cause I’m fallin’ and this feels alright

 

CHORUS:

Is this what it feels like

‘cause this feels alright

Is it what it really feels like

Is this what fallin’ feels like

 

BREAK:

I adore your face

Hope to see it everyday

You take my breath away

Wanna know how good you taste

 

If fallin feels like this

Then fallin is such bliss

 

OUTRO:

I’m dreamin’ in Cuban

Because of your beauty

Come fall with me

This track is dedicated to and inspired by ‘La Cubana’ in New Jersey. You know who your are. Holla atcha’ girl!

Absolutely Beautiful

Words and Music by FUNKYLB for Lady Brown’s Child Music © 2006

Each sunrise brings a perfect start

I find brand new ways that you fill my heart

And though I might be scared

Of what loving you means

Without you

I’d be so incomplete

CHORUS

‘Cause I think you’re wonderful

And I want the impossible

Loving you would be incredible

So lyrical

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful you are

BRIDGE

The way I feel about you, Love

This can only be from up above

Golden, golden golden you are

the tenderest joy in my life by far

 

I never imagined life could be this sweet

Gossamer moments

So good I can’t breathe

 

I wanna be your first and last

Call of the day

Sharing with each other

Laughing our blues away

 CHORUS

‘Cause I think you’re phenomenal

With you I feel invincible

Time and space have no meaning at all

So mutable

But like you, absolutely beautiful

absolutely beautiful you are

 

The way I feel about you, Love

This can only be from up above

Golden, golden golden you are

the tenderest joy in my life by far  

you are the tenderest joy in my life by far  

 

 

‘Cause I think you’re wonderful

And I want the impossible

Loving you would be incredible

So lyrical

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful you are

Worn Down

Words and Music by FUNKYLB for Lady Brown’s Child Music © 2006

 

 

Alright, Girl...okay

Go ahead and have it your way

But for the record,  I was never afraid

of the love that we could make

I wanted to be the super in your star

'cause you are to me the sweet in my heart

 

But you've worn me down

you've worn me down

It's plain that you don't want me around

So, I'm clearing out

(Repeat)

 

It's alright, Girl, it's okay

I'm gonna adore you anyway

Truthfully, I've loved you since that day

I heard the music in your wordplay

 

I've never felt my heart dance that way

I still dream about it

I've built whole worlds around it

 

Go ahead, it's okay

do what you need 

and be where you wanna be

 

There's no joy in this song I play

'cause my soul and spirit are broken

in pieces they lay

 

'Cause three is a crowd

this triangle's wearing me down

it's plain to see that you don't want me around

So, I'm clearing, I'm clearing out.

Lonely Day

Words and Music by FUNKYLB for Lady Brown’s Child Music © 2006

 

Yet another day without the warmth of your smile

moving past this winter inside is gonna take me a while

I imagine that you're doin' just fine

Me, I'm slippin' and losing my mind

 

CHORUS

So, I write my blues away

And I cry until the pain abates

'cause I'm so tired of feelin' this way

everything is muted, 

a faded gray

Just another lonely day... just another lonely, lonely day

 

Repeat Chorus

 

In the beginning, from you a perfect melody

and adoration and wonder from me

but now I write my blues away

and I cry until the pain abates

I'll be brave and say I miss you most of all

I don't sleep well anymore hoping that you'll call

 

Just another lonely day...just another lonely day

 

I'm asking God to heal me

To put His arms around me and heal me

To talk to me in my sleep and heal me

I want Him to heal me

'cause I don't wanna love you, but I do

And I don't wanna miss you, but I do

I don't wanna sing about you, but I still do

I don't  wanna dream about you, but I do

 

Repeat

Please heal me, 'cause I can't take another lonely day, not another lonely day

Every Little Thing

VERSE 1:

I love you I do

Every little thing about you

I want you I do

I mean every single piece of you

 

You came like the first light of morning

Strong but welcome

You liked my song

And your 2 and 4  I thought impeccable

left me moanin

You offered me friendship and then it

Became all about your baby browns

I brought easy security

And you brought the lover out of me

 

CHORUS:

 

I love every little thing

 Every little thing about you

I love every little thing

Every little thing about you

 

So naturally and honestly

I sing to you

Hear me now

Hope my humble heart shines through

I love every little thing

Every little thing about you

I mean every little thing about you

I mean every single thing about you

 

 

I love every little thing

Everything from your A to Z

Your lavender insides, soul deep

 

So naturally and honestly

I sing to you

Hear me now

Hope my humble heart shines through

I love every little thing about you

I mean every little thing about you

 

VERSE 2:

I adore your smile

And from its every line

joy waves back at me

Love the way you always forgive

And the principled way you live

Always choosing to just be sweet

 

I’ll meet you on the other side

When you’ve made up your mind

Maybe we’ll makes babies

Maybe our life will be amazing

 

‘cause I love every little thing about you

even the waiting

I’ll be patient

‘Cause I love every little thing about you
