lirik lagu thelma houston & jerry butler - it's a lifetime thing
[vocals: jerry butler, thelma houston, both, (backing vocals)]
[verse 1]
every morning i walk to the water
i call out your name
and though you don’t hear me
i hope you’re seein’ my way
oh, the birds – they dance for me
and the sun rises in my eyes
[pre~chorus 1]
other ships have tried to reach my shore
but i let them sail on by
other ships have tried to anchor me
but i let them pass on by
[chorus]
’cause it’s a lifetime thing
oh, like the water needs the shore
i need the love you once gave me, baby
(i need it, i need it, i need it
i need it, i need it) well, well…
in that i need you more
[verse 2]
on this island there’s a treasure
but it’s buried deep inside
in a garden waitin’ for you
ah, the one i call paradise
now it’s such a lonely island
without your company
[pre~chorus 2]
i keep a love light burnin’ bright
till you come and rescue me, mhm..
i keep a love light burnin’ bright
till you come and rescue me
[chorus]
’cause it’s a lifetime thing
oh, like the water needs the shore
i need the love you once gave me, baby
(i need it, i need it, i need it
i need it, i need it) well, well, well, well, well…
in that i need you more
[verse 2, variation]
oh my darlin’, you know
that it’s such a lonely island
without your company
[pre~chorus 2]
but i keep a love light burnin’ bright
till you come and rescue me
i keep a love light burnin’ bright
till you come and rescue me
[chorus]
’cause it’s a lifetime thing
lifetime thing, baby, oh yes it is
like the water needs the shore
i need the love you once gave me, baby
(i need it, i need it, i need it
i need it, i need it) well, well, well, well, well…
in that i need you more
[outro]
don’t you hear me sing?
in that i need you, in that i need you
i’ll make it alright, just about midnight
you know i need you, right around midnight
oh darlin’, you know i need you
just about daylight
i’ll be waitin’ for you, baby
right around midnight…
