Never Gonna Let You Go
Faith Evans · Keep the Faith [1998]
If I had one wish boy,
I'd wish you next to me.
and it could be in summer, fall, or spring, boy,
'cause you make my heart sing.
I wanna give my heart, my soul, my love to you, oh baby, yeah.
'Cause every day I'm not with you, I'm missing you like crazy.
I need for you to love me, (love me),
hold me, (hold me),
touch me, (touch me),
down deep in my soul, I'll never let it go
'cause the love we share; no one compares to you.
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
'cause I really love you so.
Oh I, I'll never let you go. Oh, no. No no no no.
If you must know the truth boy, I'm nothing without you.
It's funny how I know what people mean, boy,
when it's too good to be true.
Because you give me joy, good love, good times,
such happiness, oh yeah.
And every day I thank the Lord for you.
I feel so blessed.
I need for you to love me, (love me),
hold me, (hold me),
touch me,
down deep in my soul, never let it go
'cause the love we share; no one compares to you.
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
'cause I really love you so.
Oh I, I'll never let you go. Oh, no. No no no no.
If you only knew what you really do ain't never have no one
that does it quite
like you do.
You could spend half a lifetime tryin to find one like you.
That's why I am so glad I found you baby.
I wished upon a star and then it came true.
DARLIN!!
I need for you to love me. (love me),
hold me, (hold me),
touch me, (touch me),
down deep in my soul, I'll never let it go.
'Cause the love we share; no one compares to you.
I'll never let you go. 'Cause I really love you so.
No I, I'll never let you go. No no. Oooohh.
