Brian Mcknight - Christmas Time Is Here
well the snow is beginning to fall

and the day of thanksgiving has come and gone

silver bells begin to ring

hear little children sing

silent night was never just a song



stockings are hung by the chimney with care

it's the most wonderful time of the year

ice cream castles in the sky

there is happiness in their eyes

'cause christmas time is here

ring a ding-ding wrapping presents

hearts reflect the fire's glow

i have you underneath the mistletoe

and all is fine

fall down like rain upon me

give me something i can feel

so then i'll know

then i'll know this is for real

stockings are hung by the chimney with care

it's the most wonderful time of the year

ice cream castles in the sky

there is happiness in their eyes

'cause christmas time yes

christmas time yes

Brian Mcknight - Could
lying alone in my room

don't know what i'm gonna do

trying to figure out

if this is it, this time

just can't stop thinking 'bout the way

you make me feel inside

i just can't get you off my mind

no matter how hard i try



chorus:

could you be the one for me

could we dance the night away

i wanna give you everything

though i don't have much

could you fall in love with me

could you love me the rest of my life

could you forever be the one for me this time



i walk around in a daze

the ice is melting from my heart

how can i ever know

if you feel the same

are you the sunshine that's begging me

to come in from the rain

or have you come into my life

to turn around and take your love away



chorus



when i look into your eyes

oh, oh, oh, oh

they tell me that you're mine

but i keep asking myself



chorus



could you forever be

the one for me

Brian Mcknight - Crazy Love
i can hear her heartbeat for a thousand miles

hear the heavens open everytime she smiles

and when i come to her that's where i belong

yet, i'm running to her like a river strong



chorus:

she gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

she gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love



she's got a fine sense of humor when i'm feeling low down

and when i come to her when the sun goes down

takes my troubles away, takes away my grief

takes away my heartache, in the night like a theif



chorus



yes i need, yes i need her in the daytime

and oh i need, yes i need her in the night

i want to throw my arms all around her

to kiss and hug and kiss and hug her tight

and oh



and when i'm returning from so far away

she gives me sweet sweet lovin', brighten up my day

it makes me righteous and it makes me whole

makes me mellow, down into my soul



she gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

she gives me love, love, love, crazy love

one more time, she gives love, just a little love

when i wake up in the morning

she gives me love, love, love,

Brian Mcknight - Don't Know Where To Start
midnight at the valet

he already knows he got to keep me up front

head-nod to security

holdin' back the crowd as he opens the rope

hear the fella's spittin' hate-orade

before my crew can even get through the door

it's alright cuz it's the weekend

and there's a party for sure



all the shorty's are here tonight

just left the shop and my wig is tight

i might not dance but maybe i might

everything's gonna be alright



[nate dogg]

there's a coupla things up in here

the music's bangin loud and clear

the temperature's risin

just about to pop

there's so much goin on

i don't know where to start



[both]

i don't know where

i don't know where

i don't know where to start



inside i see the lakers and clippers

everybody says whoo!

cause they know i got pro-range

and a handle that can shake you from go



thank god it's friday

and a fresh one just poured me a drink

now i know what they meant

when they say it's good to be the king



all the shorty's are here tonight

just left the shop and my wig is tight

i might not dance but maybe i might

everything's gonna be alright



[nate dogg]

there's a coupla things up in here

the music's bangin loud and clear

the temperature's risin

just about to pop

there's so much goin on

i don't know where to start



[both]

i don't know where

i don't know where

i don't know where to start



[nate dogg]



tonight i don't mind playin

i ain't been in here lately

look at all these fine ladies

i'm about to go blind

look at all the junk she's packin

i'm about to blow a gasket

man i'm glad i brought some plastic

i can cover my head

let me re-gain my composure

i don't want to look like rover

make my eye contact it's over

i might contact two this time

cause tonight i'm livin in a fantasy

my own little nasty world

tonight i gotta find me a freak

my own little nasty girl

Brian Mcknight - Don't Let Me Go
christmas day is near

family and friends all are here

i can't believe that you're still here with me

we've come through mountains of pain

cloudy skies filled with rain

can't wash away what christmas joy will bring

the stockings have been hung

the carols have been sung

and we're standing underneath the mistletoe

i don't deserve you but still you continue to love me

like every december we've known

baby hold on to me

don't let me go

seems like thousands of presents are under the tree

some for you and some for me

we watch the fire make its' glow

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

i reach for your hand

we touch, i shiver

you extend your lips to me

then i realize what christmas really means

it's the joy inside my heart

and knowing that we'll never be apart

only one thing in this world i know for sure

i don't deserve you but still you continue to love me

like every december we've known

baby hold on to me

don't let me go

don't let me go

don't let me go

repeat out:

what i'm gonna do

Brian Mcknight - Every Beat Of My Heart
i could feel

it coming from a mile away

when i opened up the door

i saw everything that i've been waiting for, hey

close your eyes

i don't care what other people say

here underneath the stars

now jupiter and mars don't seem so far away



chorus:

i want you to know

you take my breath away

and it's been that way right from the start

i didn't know how to tell you

that i want to love you with every beat of my heart

with every beat of my heart



take my hand

don't be afraid, don't go

i want you to stay

just relax your mind

i promise that tomorrow will be just like today



chorus



chorus:2x

with every beat of my heart

i said i want you to know

you take my breath away

and it's been that way right from the start

i didn't know how to tell you

that i want to love you with every beat of my heart

with every beat of my heart



with every beat of my heart

Brian Mcknight - Everything
yesterday, came in your eyes, i caught a glimpse of tomorrow

and that's when i realized, that dreams come true

for you love there's nothing i would not do

do i love you? baby, i do

that's why,



i'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun

with you i see forever, you are the one

girl, you're everything i need and more

you are my everything, my everything

for sure



my heart, beats for you

you are a light in the darkness

you make me feel brand new,

and looking in your eyes,

i can tell you feel the same way too

do i love you? baby, i do



i'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun

with you i see forever, you are the one

girl, you're everything i need and more

you are my everything, my everything

for sure



wish i may, wish i might,

to have you here in my arms for the rest of my life

i pray that you'll stay in my heart for always



i'd sail across the ocean, bring you the sun

with you i see forever, you are the one

girl, you're everything i need and more

Brian Mcknight - Everytime We Say Goodbye
could it be

that i can't stand to be alone

this long distance has us living on the phone

ever since you've been away

i just can't get through a day

girl, i just can't wait to have you here at home

oh baby, everytime



chorus:

everytime, we say goodbye, boo

i don't want you to go

everytime, we say goodbye, boo

i don't want you to go



sometimes i only get to see you for a day

if that's all i can get then

that's what i'll take

'cause soon i know the day will come

when you and i will be as one

but right now this thing gets so hard

for me to say

oh baby, everytime



chorus



hey, can we make love just one more time

you feel forever, this is our last and final try

goodbye, goodbye

Brian Mcknight - First Noel
the first noel

the angels did say

was to certain poor shepards

in fields as they lay

oh in fields where they lay

they lay keeping their sheep

on a cold winter's night

that was so very bleek



noel, noel, noel, noel

born is the king of israel

as we celebrate the birthday of our lord

i won't let the true meaning be ignored

he came to give his life

for you and i

noel, noel, noel, noel

born is the king of israel

repeat out:

this is the time of year

to spread a little joy and cheer

remembering the newborn king

fa, la, la, la, la, la, sing

from the heaven up he fell

jehovah emmanuel
