Brian Mcknight - 6812
do you ever think about me

do you ever cry yourself to sleep

in the middle of the night when you awake

are you calling out for me

do you ever reminisce

i can't believe i'm acting like this

i know it's crazy

how i still can feel your kiss



chorus:

it's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away

i miss you so much

and i don't know what to say

i should be over you

i should know better

but it's just not the case

it's been six months, eight days, twelve hours since you went away



do you ever ask about me

do your friends still tell you what to do

everytime the phone rings

do you wish it was me callin' you

do you still feel the same

or has time put out the flame

i miss you

is everything ok



chorus



it's hard enough just passing the time

when i can't seem to get you off my mind

and where is the good in goodbye

tell me why, tell me why

Brian Mcknight - After The Love
oo, lay lay lay lay

oo, oh, oh, oh, ah, hey hey



i thought that love would conquer all

that nothing could break my fall

the moment you left my side, oh baby

and now there's nothing left to say

ever since you went away

i've been yearning for you deep inside



i can't believe that it's over

in my arms is where you belong

when i think about the love we shared

how did we go wrong

and how, can i go on, can i go on



chorus:

sometimes you can't let go

of the love you thought was yours

mine and yours

will i ever get over cause i've come to know

that it's so hard to carry on

after the love is gone

after the love is gone



if i had only had a clue

that i'd end up losing you

i might of held on to my heart, oh girl

taking for granted you'd be mine

till the end of time

has torn my world apart



and i can't believe that it's over

in my arms is where you belong

when i think about the love we shared

how did we go wrong

and how, can i go on, can i go on



chorus

Brian Mcknight - Anytime
i can't remember why we fell apart

from something that was so meant to be

forever was the promise in our hearts

now more and more i wonder where you are



chorus:

do i ever cross your mind, anytime

do you ever wake up reaching out for me

do i ever cross your mind, anytime

i miss you



still have your picture in a frame

hear your footsteps down the hall

i swear i hear your voice, driving me insane

how i wish that you would call to say



chorus



i miss you

i miss you



bridge:

no more, lonliness and heartache

no more, crying myself to sleep

no more, wondering about tomorrow

won't you come back to me, come back to me



chorus 2x



i miss you

i miss you

i miss you

Brian Mcknight - Anyway
i have been through many dissapointments and regrets

never knowing yet, the joy of lasting love

now i'm reaching for your hand

on the shore of happiness

oh acquiesce

to you my dear, my love



chorus:

you take my breath away

you're everything i desire

i can't stay away

i used to say never, but i'll never say never again

every night and day

now i realize what can't be denied

i never thought i'd fall, but i fell anyway

and i know that, i know that, i know that

i never thought i'd fall, but i fell anyway



you're the perfect lover

and you are the perfect friend

now all that's ever been

we simply rose above

and as long as we don't build our castle

on quicksand, we'll experiance and understand

the pleasure of lasting love



my heart's on fire

burning with a flame that will never die

there's a voice inside

saying don't be afraid

don't compromise



chorus



there are many, many words that i could say

melodies i could play

prayers that i could pray

nothing could take your love away, away, away



chorus



i know, i know, i know

i never thought i'd fall, but i fell anyway

Brian Mcknight - Back At One
it's undeniable that we should be together

it's unbelievable how i used to say that i'd fall never

the basis is need to know, if you don't know just how i feel

then let me show you now that i'm for real

if all things in time, time will reveal



one, you're like a dream come true

two, just wanna be with you

three, girl it's plain to see

that you're the only one for me

and four, repeat steps one through three

five, make you fall in love with me

if ever i believe my work is done

then i'll start back at one

so incredible, the way things work themselves out

and all emotional once you know what it's all about

and undesirable for us to be apart

i never would have made it very far

cause you know you've got the keys to my heart



one, you're like a dream come true

two, just wanna be with you

three, girl it's plain to see

that you're the only one for me

and four, repeat steps one through three

five, make you fall in love with me

if ever i believe my work is done

then i'll start back at one



say farewell to the dark of night

i see the coming of the sun

i feel like a little child

whose life has just begun

you came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine

you threw out the lifeline just in the nick of time



one, you're like a dream come true

two, just wanna be with you

three, girl it's plain to see

that you're the only one for me

and four, repeat steps one through three

Brian Mcknight - Bethlehem Tonight
virgin mary was laden with child

the prophecy had been foretold

the one who had come to save our lives

was born in the manger so low

and as sure as the stars are in the sky

valleys low and mountains high

the newborn king was born

in bethlehem tonight



silent night, holy night

bethlehem tonight

silent night, holy night

three kings brought gifts from far away

a boy came to play upon his drum

skeptics saw truth and had nothing to say

the wonderful savior had come

and as sure as the stars are in the sky

valleys low and mountains high

the newborn king was born

in bethlehem tonight



silent night, holy night

bethlehem tonight

silent night, holy night

behold our redeemer from sin

there was no room in the inn

but still he left his throne on high

shed his blood

to saved our lives, our lives

in bethlehem tonight

repeat out:

silent night, holy night

Brian Mcknight - Biggest Part Of Me
if you've ever had a broken heart

you promise yourself to never let it happen again

don't wanna think about it, don't wanna dream about it

but it finds its way back into your head

the i love you's, the i need you's are only words that people say

they're just words when they're hand in hand with the games that people play



chorus:

but if i never see the top of a mountain

if i never set one foot in the sea

i promise i'll love you forever

you'll always be the biggest part of me

wherever you go, whatever you do, i will follow

you've changed the way that i used to think

i promise you i'll love you forever

you'll always be the biggest part of me



take a look at me, i let you have my heart

i swore i'd never let it happen again

i'm not mad about it, i'm kinda glad about it

cuz i know on you girl i can depend



i love you, i need you, are only words that people say

they're just words when they're hand in hand with the games that people play



chorus



i believe, i believe, i believe in love again

and i swear i'll always be there

isn't this the way that it should be?

Brian Mcknight - Can You Read My Mind
chorus:

when i'm all alone at night

i can hear the beating of your heart

i should tell you

and i might

before it tears me apart

you're all i ever think about

all i ever dream about

can you read my mind

can you read my mind



don't wanna look at you

i probably should go

'cause i wanna be with you

more than you'll ever know

for a tasts of you

object of my desrire

baby you blow my mind

you light my fire



want you

need you

can't live without you



chorus



is this the way i feel

or curiosity

all the things you do

that bring out the lust in me

the thought of me and you

drives me wild

come close to me

can you stay awhile



want you

need you

can't live without you

Brian Mcknight - Cherish
thinkin' back in time

someone said that love is blind

but they were wrong

you just choose to not see

when it's right before you eyes

you'd rather compromise

then give your all

then it don't turn out

the way it's supposed to be

time and time again you disappoint

when she believes

just do your best

and give here what she needs

and...



chorus:

cherish her love

show here she's right where she belongs

take care of her heart

before she's gone

cherish her love



it might be hard to conceive

you gotta see the forest

despite the trees

before it all burns down

not tellin' ya nothing you don't know

but she'll let you have your fun

but when a woman's done, she's done

and then she'll go

just when you're needin' her the most



time and time again you disappoint

when she believes

do all you can

to give here what she needs



chorus



and if you care about the weather

keep her safe and warm

let nothing in between stand in your way
