Mmm, yeah...
Listen to me, Nkere.
Just open your heart, baby.
The city lights are fading into blue,
And here I am, still reaching out to you.
We stumble over words we didn't mean,
Lost in the shadows of a quiet scene.
I only ask for what is simple and true,
A little tenderness to pull us through.
No need to build a wall so high and cold,
When we have a beautiful story left untold.
Give me peace, Nkere, give me love tonight,
Let's put aside the shadows, step into the light.
I’m not asking for too much, just a hand to hold,
A love that doesn't shiver when the wind blows cold.
Oh, Nkere, open your heart and love me true,
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you.
We have our differences, that much is plain,
But must we always dance inside the rain?
Not every correction has to lead to goodbye,
Not every little storm should make us cry.
A word of advice is not a reason to part,
It's just a way to heal a fragile heart.
So let the whispers of the past just fade away,
And let us find a brand new path today.
Give me peace, Nkere, give me love tonight,
Let's put aside the shadows, step into the light.
I’m not asking for too much, just a hand to hold,
A love that doesn't shiver when the wind blows cold.
Oh, Nkere, open your heart and love me true,
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you.
Oh, think of the sweet nights we used to share,
The music in the dark, the perfume in the air.
Divorce is a heavy word to throw around,
When we're standing on such holy ground.
Let's build a bridge instead of tearing down the wall,
I'll catch you, darling, whenever you fall.
Mmm, swing it soft now...
The saxophone is weeping for our grace,
As I look upon the beauty of your face.
I'm holding out my hands, I'm swallowing my pride,
Hoping you will choose to stand right by my side.
It's just a little grace that we both need,
To watch the garden grow from this tiny seed.
Give me peace, Nkere, give me love tonight,
Let's put aside the shadows, step into the light.
I’m not asking for too much, just a hand to hold,
A love that doesn't shiver when the wind blows cold.
Oh, Nkere, open your heart and love me true,
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you.
Open your heart, Nkere...
Mmm, yeah, love me true.
Not every storm leads to a bitter end.
Be my lover, be my sweetest friend.
Just give me peace...
Give me love...
Nkere, oh yeah.
