Can I Walk With You
India.Arie · Voyage To India [2002]
I woke up this morning
You were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from
All I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life
You've got me wondering if you know that
I am wondering about you
The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine
You're not feeling it too
You've known me long enough to trust that
I want what's best for you
If you wanna be happy then I am the one
That you should give your heart to
CHORUS
Now everyday aint' gonna be like the summer's day
Being in love for real it ain't like a movie screen
But I can tell you all the drama aside you and I
can find what the worlds been looking for forever
friendship and love together
CHORUS
You were the first thing on my mind
I don't know were it came from
All I know is I need you in my life, yeah
You make me feel like I can be a better woman
If you just say you wanna take this friendship to another place
Can I walk with you through your life
Can I lay with you as your wife
Can I be your friend 'till the end
Can I walk with you through your life
You've got me wondering if you know that
I am wondering about you
The feeling is so strong that I can't imagine
You're not feeling it too
You've known me long enough to trust that
I want what's best for you
If you wanna be happy then I am the one
That you should give your heart to
CHORUS
Now everyday aint' gonna be like the summer's day
Being in love for real it ain't like a movie screen
But I can tell you all the drama aside you and I
can find what the worlds been looking for forever
friendship and love together
CHORUS
