The addition of this particular version was in respect to the amazing set of musicians that played on it. In fact, the majority of songs on this album were recorded with this group of players. The concept behind the album, as a whole, was to go old school, recording wise. Instead of capturing musicians at separate times, everybody played together in studio, simulating in many ways the same energy that a live performance gives.
lyrics
Never been afraid of love
until you came into my world
and now I’m standing on the edge of heaven.
Is it real, a fantasy
that you want to be with me?
Judging by our chemistry its heaven.
and no mater what they do
and no matter what they say.
Don’t mean a thing its our dream
Aint nobody getting in the way
and what matters more today
is when tomorrow comes you’ll stay.
Promise you wont throw my heart away
cuz I’ll never give up on your love.
Baby I’ll never give up on your love.
Girl I’ll never give up (you got me baby)
and baby I’ll never give up on your love….
It ain’t no mystery,
the truth is plain to see
cuz now you’re here with me.
Nobody gonna take you away from heaven.
Cuz you make living in this world magical,
a brand new love, spiritual
oh yes you are from heaven.
and no mater what they do
and no matter what they say.
Don’t mean a thing its our dream
Aint nobody getting in the way
and what matters more today
is when tomorrow comes you’ll stay.
Promise you wont throw my heart away
cuz I’ll never give up on your love.
Baby I’ll never give up on your love.
Girl I’ll never give up (you got me baby)
and baby I’ll never give up on your love,
on your love…
The way you love me,
Its all around me,
the greatest thing is love…
And we found love,
unforgettable love,
the power of this love…
The way you love me,
Its all around me,
the greatest thing is love…
And we found love,
unforgettable love,
the power of this love…
cuz I’ll never give up on your love.
Baby I’ll never give up on your love.
Girl I’ll never give up (you got me baby)
and baby I’ll never give up on your love, love, love
I’ll never give on your love.
I’ll never give on your love.
I’ll never give on your love, oh
I’ll never give on your love.
