To really love a woman,
To understand her - you gotta' know her deep inside.
Hear every thought - see every dream,
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly .
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms,
Ya know ya really love a woman.
When you love a woman, you tell her
that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one,
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me, have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman,
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched.
You've gotta' breathe her - really taste her,
Til you can feel her in your blood .
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes,
Ya know ya really love a woman.
When you love a woman,
you tell her that she's really wanted .
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one,
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her,
that you'll always be together.
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?
You got to give her some faith - hold her tight,
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right ,
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you.
Ya really gotta love your woman...
To understand her - you gotta' know her deep inside.
Hear every thought - see every dream,
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly .
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms,
Ya know ya really love a woman.
When you love a woman, you tell her
that she's really wanted.
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one,
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever.
So tell me, have you ever really

"Cherish"
Association
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have
Hiding here for you inside.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you.
Perish is the word that more than applies,
To the hope in my heart each time I realize,
That I am not gonna' be the one
To share your dreams,
That I am not gonna' be the one
To share your schemes,
That I am not gonna' be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours.
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me,
That have the right amount of letters,
Just the right sound,
That could make you hear, make you see,
That you are drivin' me out of my mind.
Oh, I could say I need you,
But then you'd realize,
That I want you,
Just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you,
Like all the rest of their lies,
When all they wanted
Was to touch your face, your hands,
And gaze into your eyes.
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling
That I have hiding here for you inside.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you.
And I do,
Cherish you.
And I do,
Cherish you.
Cherish is the word...
We're saluting all the great love songs of the Rock Era, and one of the true classics here. If she had just 1/2 of the love for him that he felt for her, it would be an amazing relationship. There is no doubt that the man in this song deeply cares for the woman.
"So beautiful."
"I love the words....this song has substance....it speaks volumes for me."
"The song with deeper meaning,an immortal love song through generations.very classic."
"A long time favorite song."
"These are some of the most beautiful words ever written in modern history."
"The only word for this entire record is "OUTSTANDING"!!!!"
"A true classic."
"Preciosa melodía!"
"Those of us who grew up to this music were truly blessed with one of the greatest musical talents of all time.....The Association."
"Those of us who grew up to this music were truly blessed with one of the greatest musical talents of all time.....The Association."
"This is my favorite song of all time."
"These are some of the most Wonderful words I have ever heard when it comes to talking to the woman you love... Incredible."
All the feeling that I have
Hiding here for you inside.
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you,
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you.
Perish is the word that more than applies,
To the hope in my heart each time I realize,

Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours.
Oh, I'm beginning to think that man has never found

And I do,
Cherish you.
And I do,
Cherish you.
Cherish is the word...

"At Last"
Etta James
This classic from Etta James describes the amazing feeling that I wish for everyone that only comes when you meet your soul mate, and you know in your heart that the rest of your life will be like a once in a lifetime dream. "I found a thrill to press my cheek to..."
"Nuestra primera cancion....."
"Sultry!"
"Beautiful, sensitive song."
"The perfect love song."
"Romantic with meaning. Just wonderful."
"The most beautiful song ever made."
"One of the best wedding or love songs ever recorded."
My love has come along,
My lonely days are over,
And life is like a song... Oh, yeah, yeah, At last!
The skies above are blue.
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you.
I found a dream that I could speak to,
A dream that I can call my own.
I found a thrill to press my cheek to,
A thrill that I have never known.
Oh, yeah, yeah,
You smiled, you smiled...
Oh, and then the spell was cast,
And here we are in heaven for you are mine...
At Last!

"Vision of Love"
Mariah Carey
This is the song that made people around the globe instantaneously sit up and take notice of the brightest new talent to come around in a long time. In addition to Mariah's five-octave range, the song features some great romantic lyrics. The woman had gone through some tough times, but her faith kept her strong, and she always knew that man she waited for would find her eventually. She is in bliss, "knowing she's succeeded in finding the place she conceived", or the "vision of love". Now, she is "thankful that she's received the answer that Heaven has sent down to her."
"My fave MC song!"
"Such a classic song. timeless!"
"OMG, I can't take it. This song is amazing!"
"Legendary."
"Good God, what a voice."
"Timeless classic."
"FLAWLESS !!!!"
"Awesome! I want to hear it again and again!"
"Those high notes get me every time."
"Mariah gave the world a masterpiece."
Treated me kind,
Sweet destiny,
Carried me through desperation,
To the one that was waiting for me.
It took so long,
Still I believed,
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually.
I had a vision of love,
And it was all that you've given to me.
Prayed through the nights,
Felt so alone,
Suffered from alienation,
Carried the weight on my own.
Had to be strong,
So I believed,
And now I know I've succeeded,
In finding the place I conceived.
I had a vision of love,
And it was all that you've given to me.
I had a vision of love,
And it was all that you've given me.
I've realized a dream,
And I visualized
The love that came to be.
Feel so alive,
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven
Has sent down to me!
You treated me kind,
Sweet destiny,
And I'll be eternally grateful,
Holding you so close to me.
Prayed through the nights,
So faithfully,
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually.
I had a vision of love,
And it was all that you've given to me.
I had a vision of love,
And it was all that you
Turned out to be!

"Open Arms"
Journey
Second chances don't come too often in life. The couple in this song had love once, drifted apart, and are now back together. The man welcomes back his lover with open arms, and hopes she sees what she means to him.
"Beautiful music of all times!"
"Bellisima song we love!!"
"Great song."
"เป็นเพลงที่เพราะที่สุดเพลงหนึ่งของวงนี้ ผมรักเพลงนี้ครับ....."

"Beautiful...Love this song deeply!!!"
"Greatest love song ever!!!"
"The best melody!"
"I love this song OMG💜💜💜👏😊"
"Majestic and beautiful."
Lying beside you, here in the dark,
Feeling your heartbeat with mine.
Softly you whisper; you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together,
We drifted apart,
And here you are,
By my side.
Feeling your heartbeat with mine.
Softly you whisper; you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together,
We drifted apart,
And here you are,
By my side.
So now, I come to you
With open arms,
Nothing to hide,
Believe what I say.
So here I am,
With open arms,
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me,
Open arms...
Living without you, living alone,
This empty house seems so cold.
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near,
How much I wanted you home.
But now that you've come back,
Turned night into day,
I need you to stay.
So now, I come to you
With open arms,
Nothing to hide,
Believe what I say.
So here I am,
With open arms,
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me,
Open arms ...

"Can't Help Falling In Love"
Elvis Presley
Wise men say only fools rush in,
but I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Darling so it goes,
some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too,
for I can't help falling in love with you.
