This Moment Is Mine

1-
This smile on my face, it shows everyday
So no one ever really knows how i really feel
Am i really happy?
There's things on my mind, cant talk about it
Sometimes who can i tell what i'm going through
When i'm feeling sorry

2-
I cry to myself, when no one else is listening
I cry to myself, cause no one else is crying for me

3-
I'll tell you i'm fine but deep inside i'm dying
When i'm all alone no one sees when the lights go down
I cry every night, suffer in silence
No i cant deny, this pain is real but i keep trying

Repeat 2- with adlibs

4 with adlibs-
Does anyone care how i feel?
Every day i'm smiling to hide what is real
This pain i have inside of me
Is tearing my whole life apart

Repeat 2- with adlibs

[rodney jerkins]

Darkchild gon' make you dance a little
Chante make you dance a little
We gon' make you dance a little
C'mon

If i gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If i gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?
If i gave love

If i could look into your eyes and see the truth
Then i would know if i should try to put all of my trust in you
Not having to worry about if things would change
Once i gave myself to you
I hope that you would stay the same

Cuz i put all my trust in the wrong hands
And i don't ever want to feel pain again
So how do i know that you're the right man?
But i pray that you are so our love could begin

Repeat 1

I'm takin' a chance on you and me boy
You've given me a reason to let you inside my life
I've been in love before, i know this feeling
I gotta know this time this love is right
I gotta know that love is right

Not enough just to say the words "i love you"
(can't say it baby, baby)
Gotta make sure that you're doin' everything you say
I'm not impressed by lines i've heard before
When it's said and done, those lines will fade away
(if i gave love)

Repeat 1

If i gave you love
Then where would that leave me?
If i gave my trust
Would you use it against me?
And if love starts again
Would the ending be the same?
Or would you prove to be the only one for me?

Not much to ask of you
I ask that you be true
Don't take my love for granted
See i wont be played so easily
Been there, done that before
I can't go there no more
Please oh please don't get me wrong
I just want a love i can count on

Repeat 1 to fade

Curtains falls down
Lights come on
I'm alone in the dark and i sang final notes from my heart
Times when i write
Late at night in my room
The candles burn and the paper mirrors my choice of words
Every time i close my eyes and the world ain't on my side
And i'm sure that i can't change a thing
Then the sweetest man arrives
In my life

I am living out my dreams
'cause you gave me what i need
You're the only air i breathe
Your the only one can count on on and on
I can always count on
On and on
In my life

I've learned to disguise with my eyes
But he can see deep inside
And he shares the feelings i try to hide
Every time i close my eyes
And the world ain't on my side
And i'm sure that i can't change a thing
Then the sweetest man arrives
In my life

I am living out my dreams
'cause you gave me what i need
You're the only air i breathe
Your the only one can count on on and on
I can always count on
On and on
In my life

Every time i close my eyes
And the world ain't on my side
And i'm sure that i can't change a thing
Then the sweetest man arrives in my life

I am living out my dreams
'cause you gave me what i need
You're the only air i breathe
Your the only one can count on on and on
I can always count on
On and on
In my life

I've...got...the...love
I've...got...the...love

-1-
Love me right, what's the matter with you?
Hold me tight, why must i tell you what to do?
Smiling, smiling comes as no surprise
Smiling showing, what you see in my eyes

-2-
Oh i've got it! right here
I've got it! right here
I've got it! right here baby
I've got the love baby
I've got the love

-3-
Feel me inside, touch me deeper than the skin
Show me you're diggin' every bit of this woman
Take me deeper, give me the love i'm dying for
Oh make me a believer, give me the love
I'll give you the love you've been dying for

-4-
I've got the love to give you
The strength to keep on livin'
Yeah, whatever it is
You can't do without what i'm giving

Repeat -2-

-5-
Baby i can give you
Give you love like a hot, hot water
Keep you runnin, runnin right back
Hit cha, catch ya, got cha like uh
I can't help it if i work ya like a new job, 24-7
If i can take a minute just to get you hit you with it
Take it like a man and hold me like woman
Oh baby take me high, i'll work the solo
So fine won't want another love but mine

Repeat -4-

Repeat -2-

Tell me that you're diggin' every bit of this
I'm giving to you
And tell me that you're loving
And you're diggin' it too
Keep it coming, give you lovin' baby
'til i'm through, i want you, i want you

Don't look back, there's only things
You can not change the past
You're wasting time asking
What if you linger on too long
Pick the roses from the thorns
Wash with waters of the storm
See the sun in your bad day
Smell the flowers in your valley

-2-
This moment is mine
I'm living inside
I grow with each breath that i take
I cherish my freedom
I'm sharing this joy
I'm glowing like sunshine
I'm spreading my wings and i fly
I'm still as the night
This moment is mine
This moment is mine

Possibilities travel endless through infinite
Our finite minds can not see the unknown
To be in your worry what can change
Not a thing
In the spirit of your mind be renewed
It's not too late, redeem the time, seize yourself

Repeat 2-

Sweetest moment passing you by
Live in the now and let's go
I can't tell you how it feels (it's) so good

-repeat 2-

Chante's got a man at home
And he's sure good to me

I'm sorry that your man ain't home
I'm sorry that yours left you alone
It's such a shame your man is playing games
And i heard you say that men are all the same
No, no, no

1 - it's not the truth girl
Cause i got proof girl
Oh i got proof girl
I got a man at home

2 - chante's got a man at home
It hurts me your man's leaving you all alone
I can't help it that your baby's bad
Creeping out, cheating on ya, beating on ya
Chante's got a man at home
And he's sure good to me

Listen
Now why'd you let him beat you down
No, no, what's up with that
There's good men around
Don't you know how beautiful you are inside girl
And don't you let nobody go and steal your pride
Oh no no, i know your thing girl

Repeat 1
Repeat 2

I once was where you are
Thought men were all the same
But i never gave up hope
And now my life has changed
Listen to me girls

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
He always treats me right, we never fight
He sends me flowers and wines and dines me
Took me home to meet his momma
How he loves me

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Give it one more try
Before ya give up on love

Repeat 2 until fade
