Could
Brian McKnight · Anytime
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Trying to figure out
If this is it,this time
Just Can't Stop thinking
About 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 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 & 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
This time
