Music That Tells Our Love Story
By Ayanna Black
My husband and I have gotten into a routine the last couple of weeks of listening to music on YouTube while putting the kids down to bed at night. So this week’s theme has been love songs that tell our love story. We each had to pick a song to tell each other how we felt. Here are two of the many songs we played this week:
Yeah, just like that
Ah-ha-ha-ha
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh…hoo…hoo…
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, yeah
When I’m with you, I hear a sound
That makes me laugh and smile and sing to you
When I’m with you, I feel so free
I love that love is going to take control of me
When I’m with you
It’s for real (It’s for real)
What I feel (What I feel)
When I’m with you (You), uh-huh
When I’m with you, I wonder why
People do stop and stare and smile at us
When I’m with you, the sun shines my way
Baby, our love reflects its rays of light on everyone in the world
When I’m with you
It’s for real (It’s for real)
What I feel (What I feel)
When I’m with you (You), Hey, hey, hey
Uh-huh (Special touch, a warm embrace)
A sweet and tender, your smile, whoa
Body warm my heart, so pure
Chills when I look, look in your eyes
I wonder why
People (Do stop) and stare (And stare and smile at us) and smile at us
When I’m with you, the sun shines my way
Baby, our love reflects its rays of light on everyone in the world
When I’m with you
It’s for real (It’s for real)
What I feel (What I feel)
When I’m with you (You), you, hey, hey, hey
Oh, girl
I love you, baby
Ye-ye-ye-yes, I do
Ye-ye-ye-yes, I do
I’d give the world to you, baby
Oh…whoa…oh, yeah
When I’m with you, whoa…baby
It’s for real (It’s for real)
What I feel (What I feel)
When I’m with you (You), yeah, yeah, eah, hey
Everything, everything’s alright
When I’m with you
It’s for real (It’s for real, what I feel)
What I feel (You’re heavy on my mind)
It’s okay (It’s okay, gonna pray)
Every day (Every day)
It’s so nice (So nice), so right now (So right)
When I’m with you (You), nobody but you
Honey, I love you, yeah, ooh

Said I’m feeling pretty good right now baby
Good about our loving darlin
Listen
Like the world goes around everyday baby
That is how you spin me
Might as well call me a telegram baby
Cause darlin thats just how you send me
I might as well take me a pen and sign a waiver
To be yours for the rest of my life
You rescued me from heartache just like a savior
Now being in your arms is my paradise
Ain’t no love like your love ain’t no kiss like your kiss
Felt a whole lot of things but nothing’s ever felt like this
You a genie to me babe the way you grant my wish
And tonight we’re gonna let the world hear it
This is how our love is
You and me forever baby sing it darlin
This is how our love is
Can’t nobody come between it nah babe
Listen honey
Ain’t no doubt what we got baby is one of a kind
We’re in the hall of fame as the greatest love of all time
So mamny said that this love wouldn’t last too long
But we got the victory darling and proved them all wrong
Just like the sun comes in and chased away the rain
See I love you boy cause you take away my pain
And it don’t matter where you are just call me baby
Cause I’d run a million miles just to get to you baby
Listen honey now
Ain’t no love like your love ain’t no kiss like your kiss
Felt a whole lot of things but nothing’s ever felt like this
You a genie to me babe the way you grant my wish
And tonight we’re gonna let the world hear it
This is how our love is
You and me forever baby sing it to me darlin
This is how our love is
Can’t nobody come between us babe
Now let me tell you how I feel
See our love is like an antidote and we deliver
Whole wide world with it darling preach to me
This love is like the people’s hope something outta heaven baby
Cause it’s gotta colon
Oh girl when we’re touching ooo when we’re feeling
It’s crazy like walking on the ceiling
This is how our love is
You and me sing it to me girl
Oh this is how our love is
Can’t nobody come between us babe
This is how our love is
Rain sleet or snow i want the whole wide world to know
This is how our love is
Forever and a day it will always be this way
This is how our love is
Take it or leave it you and me together take it or leave it
This is how our love is
Take it or leave it take it or leave it
What love song tells your love story old or new?
