I must relax you, I mean totally relax you.  Because love is a kind of a thing that, that you shouldn’t do unless you are totally at ease.  So, baby, let me, let me totally relax you to where you feel that you are ready for, that you are ready for anything.  Let me put my hand right there and together we’ll fly high in the sky.

IT’S ONLY LOVE DOING ITS THING  (4:04)

I never take anything for granted.  Only a fool, baby, takes things for granted.  Just because it’s here today, it can be gone tomorrow and I guess that’s why, why I cherish you so much because you, you haven’t changed.  Baby, you’re still the same.  You’re just as sweet, you’re just as beautiful as ever.  You know, I’m a little old fashioned.  Oh, I guess you can call me a little traditional because I love things to stay as they are between you and me and that’s one thing you’ll never in your life have to worry about me, if I’ll ever change toward you.  Because baby, I love you, girl, I love you…just the way you are.

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE  (7:09)

As I look back on the days that’s gone by, I can’t help but to think what would I have done different that I did at that time; you know what conclusion is – the conclusion I come to is I would have done it just like I did it.  There was days of joy and happiness and sadness and madness – the normal – the normal way of life, and as I, as I sit here reminiscing through my years I, I can’t help but to feel a little sad inside – because those days are gone forever and ever and ever and ever and ever…
