I was listening to my iTunes on shuffle the other day and a bunch of love songs happened to play all around the same time, which is unusual. Since I was driving, normally, I would fast forward through the slow songs. But this time, I let them play they made me reminisce on the years past with my boo thang. These songs then had me daydreaming about taking him for a spin on the dance floor…or around the bedroom floor, whichever comes first. So I thought I’d share some of those love songs with you.
Rest of Our Lives by Jeffrey Osbourne
(I honestly had never heard this song until 8 years ago, when my husband told me we should have it as our wedding song. Who was I to argue?).
Lyrics:
I’m in love with you
I know you feel exactly like I do
Why don’t we plans our futures (now)
We have been so blessed
And we could share a life of happiness
If you would just say, yes
[Chorus]
Would you take my hand and say ‘I do”
I willl promise to take care of you
And together we will hope-fullly
Be in love for the Rest of our Lives, oohh
And when the time arrives,
I’l be standing firmly at your side
Until the day I die
My love,
When we take our vows
Our families and friends will be so proud
As tears our joy come tumbling down
[Chorus]
Oooh
A Blessed Day
Will always be great from this moment on
We’ll take that kiss
That kiss that turns two hearts into one
And with my ring upon your finger
Shinning so bright,
We both will smile walk down the isle
Husband and wife
[Chorus]
Turn the Lights Down Low by Bob Marley & Lauren Hill
Lyrics:
(Uh) Turn your lights down low
And pull your window curtain
Oh let the moon come shining in
Into our life again
Saying ooh, it’s been a long, long time
(Long, long time)
I got this message for you girl
But it seems I was never on time
Did I wanna get through to you girl?
On time, on time (word)
[Chorus]
I want to give you some love
I want to give you some good, good loving
(Uh, uh, right, uh)
Oh I, oh I, oh I
Yeah I want to give you some good, good loving (uh)
Turn your lights down low
(Word, word, uh, uh)
Never ever try to resist, oh no
(Na, na, na, na)
Let your love come shining in
(Na, na, na, na)
Into our lives again
(Na, na, na, na)
And ooh, I love you
(I love you, I love you)
And I want you to know right now
(Know right now)
Ooh I love you
(Uh-uh, yeah, uh)
And I want you to know right now (uh)
That I, that I
[Chorus]
Loving you is a like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day (uh, uh)
And every chorus was written for us to recite (right)
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
It’s potion like this ocean that might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard (uh)
And when I play them, every chord is a poem
Telling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know him (what? word)
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress (uh)
If you asking then I’m telling you it’s yes
Stand in love, take my hand in love, God bless (right)
[Chorus]
Good, good, good loving
(I wanna give you some good loving)

If This Isn’t Love by Jennifer Hudson
Lyrics:
I’m calling his phone up just to tell him how much
I really love him cause he’s everything I want
He listens to me, cares for me
So I truly believe
God sent me an angel up from above
That’s gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect
Only because it’s the only way
I can describe, so
[Chorus]
If this isn’t love
Tell me what it is, cause I can be be dreaming and just plain crazy
If this isn’t love
Tell me what it is, cause I never felt like this baby
If this isn’t love
L-o-v-e what is it to me?
L-o-v-e Oh…
If this isn’t love [x2]
I’m selfish cause I don’t wanna share
Him, with nobody not even those
People that came before me
But see I never believe.
God sent me an angel up from above
That’s gonna love me for life
Might as well be perfect
Only because it’s the only way
I can describe, so
[Chorus]
So if you got real love
Let me see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up
The kind of love that fits
Tight like a glove
Let me see you put your hands up
See you put your hands up, if this isn’t love
Cause I know I ain’t crazy
I know I ain’t trippin
I know I ain’t sleeping
I know that it’s love
See me with my hands up
If you think I’m dreaming
I know I ain’t dreaming
Cause this reason maybe
And I know what is love
If this isn’t love…
Dangerously in Love by Beyonce
Lyrics:
I love you… I love you… I love you
Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren’t complete
If you weren’t by my side
You’re my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There’s no darkness I can’t overcome
You are my raindrop
I am the seed
With you and God, who’s my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I’m so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and mixed up world
[Chorus]
I am in love with you
You set me free
I can’t do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I’m Dangerously In Love with you
I’ll never leave
Just keep lovin’ me
The way I love you loving me
And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain’t easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I’m grateful
To have you by my side
Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world
To love and to hold
To feel
To breathe
To love you
Dangerously in love
Can’t do this thing
I love you , I love you, I love you
I’ll never leave
Just keep on loving me
I’m in love with you
I can not do
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously
I love you
Dangerously in love
Can’t Stop Lovin’ You by Kem
Lyrics:
I think about the day I met the perfect stranger, I think about us.
And I think about the day I got wrapped around your fingers, I think about us.
The sun was shinning on you
The lord was smiling on me
And love was calling us I had my mind made up.
[Chorus:]
And I can’t stop loving you
I can’t help myself
And I can’t get over you
No matter what I tell myself baby.
Never thought I’d ever love any one else in my weakness, I think about us.
And I think about the day you left without speaking, I think about us.
I think about the love we had for our children, I think about us.
I think about the way we laughed without a reason, I think about us girl.
There will be no more lies
Somebody tell me why I feel like I’m dying.
Lord what’s come over me
Ohh baby can’t you see
[Chorus]
I think about us [x7]
Ooooohh, baby.
I can’t get over you!
Oh yea, baby.
Mmmmmmm, Girl.
What am I gonna do?
Oooooooh, baby.
I think about – the love we had.
I think about the way you laugh.
Mmmmm, girl, hey – hey.
I can’t get over you!
I can’t stop missing you baby,
I can’t stop wanting you baby,
I can’t stop loving you
GIRL-erl-erl
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
I CAN’T GET OVER YOU!!!
I can’t stop missing you girl,
I can’t stop feeling you girl.
I can’t stop thinking bout you!
I can’t stop dreaming bout you
I can’t stop loving you girl.
Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye
Lyrics:
Ooh, now let’s get down tonight
Baby I’m hot just like an oven
I need some lovin’
And baby, I can’t hold it much longer
It’s getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that’s good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you’ll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don’t know the things you’re dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it’s Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let’s make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, ‘cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I’m capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it’s such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it’s good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that’s good for me
And it’s good for me and it’s good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we’ll be making it
Honey, oh we’re feeling fine
You’re my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you’re so great
I can’t wait for you to operate
I can’t wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing [Ad lib]
Two Occasions by The Deele
Lyrics:
A summer love is beautiful
But it’s not enough
To satisfy emotions
That are shared between us
A winter love is cozy
But I need so much more
It just intensifies my wants
To have a love that endures
‘Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are
I only think of you on two occasions
That’s day and night
I’d go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right
An autumn love is special
At this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone
Does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I’m glad to say in my heart
I know my love’s lasting
‘Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are
‘Cause every time I close my eyes
I think of you
And no matter what the season nears
I still love you
With all my heart
And I wanna be with you
Wherever you are
Forever My Lady by Jodeci
Lyrics:
Forever, forever, forever
So you’re having my baby
And it means so much to me
There’s nothing more precious
Than to raise a family
If there’s any doubt in your mind
You can count on me
I’ll never let you down
Lady believe in me
You and I
Will never fall apart
You and I
We knew right from the start, baby, baby
The day
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born, healthy and strong
Now our dreams are reality

Forever my lady
It’s like a dream
I’m holding you close
You’re keeping me warm
If this is ecstacy
Forever my lady
I say just what i mean
Forever and ever
I pray is what i see
Can you picture my lady
This empty scene
There’s no me or no you
What will we do
An awful sight to me
If i ever lose you
Tell me where would i go
Life would have no meaning
And i pray that you will always stay with me
You and I
Would never fall apart, baby
You and I
Said we knew right from the start
The day
We fell so far in love
Now our baby is born
Healthy and strong
Now our dreams are reality

And i say we made it from the start

Ah yeah, baby
Forever my lady
Woo oooh
Said i pray every night, baby

And every day of the week
