Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
Ever since we happened on a glance in Khyber's Café
I will always thank God for the chance He gave us that day
Pleasant conversation on a break, a break from the band
You were then and have always been a perfect gentleman
(Chorus)
You love me, Nobody else would do it
You hear me, Nobody else would listen
You see me, Nobody else would notice
I'm special in your life
(2nd Verse)
Going to bed each evening with a dream of having a child
Starting all our mornings with a kiss, a hug and a smile
Sharing all our feelings with a friend, the good and the bad
'Cause you're the very best friend that I've ever had!
(Repeat Chorus )
(Bridge)
I love you, I need you, oh so desperately
I can't, can't live without you
Take my hand, take my heart
You're the man that I want
Here I am...
You can have it all because
Welcome To My Love

(ASCAP/BMI)
(1st Verse)
There was a time when I stayed at home alone
I knew a lot of guys, but none I could call my own
But when you came along, my heart sang a brand new song
Now I'm happy, glad I found you and I'm not afraid say
(Chorus)
Welcome to my love
Come on in and make yourself at home
(Chorus - continued)
Welcome to my life
I know everything's gonna be alright
(2nd Verse)
Needed a woman, said you'd need a girl that's just like me
You've had a lot of girlfriends, but none in whom you can believe
Time just dragged along, you're tired a playin' the same ole song
But now you're happy, glad I found you
'Cause you're not afraid to say...
(Chorus)
Welcome to my love
Come on in and make yourself at home
Welcome to my life
I know everything's gonna be alright
Welcome To My Love (continued)
(Chorus - continued)
Welcome to my love
Come on in, take all you want
Welcome to my life
I know everything's gonna be alright
(Bridge)
You are the only one for me
Here is right where I wanna be
We're like two leaves on a vine
You know just what is on my mind
I just wish you could'a been here in my life
The whole time!
(Repeat Chorus )
Waiting
Rachelle Ferrell/Vernon D. Fails/Michael J. Powell
Aural Elixir Music/Virgin Songs Inc/Crystal Rose Music/Del Von Music Inc
(ASCAP/BMI)
(1st Verse)
Boy, I've been watching you for so long
Oh, and I like what I see
I can't explain what makes you so...
Attractive to me
It's something 'bout the way you wear your hair
And the scent of your cologne
Doesn't really matter what you wear
You don't need nothing on...
Waiting (continued)
(Chorus)
I've been waiting... for you to be mine
Patiently waiting, mhmm for the right time
(2nd Verse)
I just can't wait to get to know you
For you feel like a friend
I can't ignore whatever it is that makes you so...
Different from other men
Anticipating, any moment now
When you walk through that door
Into my home, my heart, my life
And it's just what I've been waiting for...
(Chorus)
I've been waiting... for you to be mine
Patiently waiting, umhm for the right time
I've been waiting, waiting for you
(Bridge)
You'll be my knight in armor and I'll be your queen
We'll be together at last we'll share the dream
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Come let's begin right away, why not today?
Cause...
(Chorus)
I've been waiting... for you to be mine
Patiently waiting, mhmm for the right time
It Only Took A Minute
Marti Sharron/Danny Sembello/Donnell Spencer, Jr
Emi Full Keel Music/Honey Look Music/Lorimar Music/Universal Music
(ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
The summer is almost over and I haven't met him yet
I sit here all alone, right by the phone
Who would ever guess?
With my heart as big as the ocean
And with all this love to share
Couldn't find someone right to light up my life
But then I saw you standing there
Don't you know that
(Chorus)
It only took a minute
The moment I looked in your eyes
It only took a minute
To see all those love signs
I'd never thought I'd find
(2nd Verse)
I can't believe how you touch me
You're like a breeze blowing through my hair
I get a rush when you tell me to hush
And you take me there
You're my morning coffee
And baby I'm your easy chair
There's no way this could be a love fantasy
When I know we've got the real affair!
And even tho'...
It Only Took A Minute (continued)
(Chorus)
It only took a minute
The moment I looked in your eyes
It only took a minute
To see all those love signs
I'd never thought I'd find
(2nd Chorus)
(I'm caught up in it)
I'm caught up
All at once I knew inside
(Only took a minute)
You're the love, you're the love
You're the love of my life!
(Break)
Ooh I love you (I love you baby) You're the one for me
(Bridge)
Ooh you know I thought it was over
'Cause nobody would come my way
The door to love that I almost closed
Was the same door you opened today!
(Repeat 1st Chorus )
With Open Arms
R. Ferrell/D. Robinson
Feel The Beat Music/Stone Diamond Music (BMI)
(1st Verse)
I heard that she hurt you... she broke your heart
They said that you just broke down and cried (I couldn't believe it, boy)
'Cause you were the lover (Casanova)
God's gift to this world
And no one girl could ever tie you down
At last, the shoe is on the other foot
And I know just what you've been going through
'Cause I'm still here waiting for you
(Chorus)
With open arms
I receive you
(Chorus - continued)
Holding my heart in my hand
With open arms
I will relieve you
From every day in every way that I can
With open arms
With open arms
(2nd Verse)
I know that you're lonely... I'm lonely too
And Lord knows I still really love you, yes (you better believe it, boy)
'Cause you are the only, the one & only man for me
And I'm the woman that you need, yes
A million tears would not change my mind
You see, it doesn't matter what you do
I'll be right here waiting for you
(Repeat Chorus )
'Til You Come Back To Me
Karyn L. White/Geller Harvey/Valerie Y. Davis
Emi Blackwood Music/Warner-Tamerlane/Growing in Grace Productions
(BMI/ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
I can only blame myself
To think that someone else could ever take your place
I must have been out of my head to turn away
I said I needed time and space
I thought the grass was greener on the other side
You never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
(Chorus)
I wrote you letters ... you sent them back
I'm gonna keep on trying ... in my heart I still believe
(Chorus - continued)
I'll take my chances... 'cause I can wait
I promise that's what I'll do... 'til you come back to me
(2nd Verse)
Tried to convince myself
The love we shared was over & a thing of the past
We'd grown apart & lost the feeling that we once shared
Just didn't realize
How much I hurt you when I chose to say goodbye
I had it all but I just wasn't satisfied
(Repeat Chorus then Bridge)
'Til You Come Back To Me (continued)
(Bridge)
'Cause there's no one in this world
Who's gonna love you like I do
I'll keep on wishing 'til you come back
I won't give up 'til you're right here with me
(Repeat Chorus )

I love you
But you don't wanna give me my just due

Tried to please you
But you took everything I had and l let you

(Bridge)
(keyboard solo)
(3rd Verse)
I was down and blue
Working within your limited point of view
Oh you always had your way
In matters of love I never had a say

Now you don't know
That someday you'll reap exactly what you've sown
Only then you'll see
Just what kind of pain you've given me!
(Repeat Chorus)

Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
- Duet
(1st Verse)
Oh Lord... what did I do to deserve him?
Heaven knows, I'm not like you... I'm not perfect
When he sees... will he leave
... Or will he stay anyway?
(2nd Verse)
Oh Lord... what did I do to deserve her?
Heaven knows... Lord knows I'm only human
Can this be... someone truly for me
... Or is it a cruel fantasy?

Nothing has ever felt like this...
Nothing has ever meant the whole world to me
Nothing has ever been this good
Nothing has ever been this right
Nothing so sweet in my life

I know that you treasure me
And I know that I'm the only man you see... yeah
I live in love with you
I love my life with you
We'll share a life together
I love you right now and forever!

I never get any warning
Something comes over me and I cannot wait
I want to be with you... just like it used to be, guess
(Chorus)
I'm feeling sentimental tonight
Darling, don't you know that I will never get over you
Sentimental don't remember what's wrong or right...
It's just a feeling that'll help me get through the night
(2nd Verse)
I saw your sister in town today
She wanted to know if I was okay
I tried to pretend everything was cool
She said, "Tears don't lie and I know the truth"
Oh, I want you... I need you to do what we used to do! Cause,
(Repeat Chorus then Bridge)
(Bridge)
If I'm incurable
Then you're my disease
But I don't mind feeling this way
If you'll come and see about me!

Could've Fooled Me
David Foster/Dennis Lambert
PeerMusic III LTD/SoundBeam Music (BMI)
(1st Verse)
Don't ask what am I gonna do
'Cause it hasn't even started sinking in
Need time... time to think it through
How am I supposed to know where I begin?
Suddenly, I'm alone here
Loving me isn't in your plans
Yesterday you were mine
And my heart was in your hands
Could've Fooled Me
(continued)
(Chorus)
Could've fooled me
Turned out I was wrong
You knew all along
That one day you'd be leaving
Could've fooled me
I was so secure
Confident and sure
We were meant to be
Could've fooled me
(2nd Verse)
So sad, I'm the last to know
Would've bet my life we were going all the way
It's too bad you didn't let me go
If you were honest then I'd be over you today
Now suddenly I'm alone here
Loving me doesn't feel so right
Yesterday you were mine
But we're history tonight
(Repeat Chorus then Bridge)
(Bridge)
There was no indication, no warning, no signs
I guess you could say that I ... I must have been blind
(Repeat Chorus)
Too Late
Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
Sixty-five years must've been too much to bear
For an insecure black man livin' on the verge of despair
Too much resentment and too much hate
From which there can be no easy escape
(Chorus)
It's too late, there's nothing left to give
Not for your woman, you've got nothin' for your kids
It's too late, there's nothing left to hide
So you go your way and I'll go mine
(2nd Verse)
My father and I don't get along
He's always right, I'm always wrong
We never talk... he'd rather hide
Preening his pride and pruning mine
(Repeat Chorus then Bridge)
(Bridge)
I tried to talk to him... to go beyond the insults and lies
Depending on the love to keep the family alive
He said, "I don't wanna talk on account'a the pressure of my blood"
I said, "Can't we talk on account of love? I'm reaching out to you"
He said, "Don't reach out to me"
"But, I love you. I love you! Dad... don't you love me?"
Too Late (continued)
(Bridge - continued)
He stared straight ahead at the basketball game on his precious tv
And he never even opened his mouth...
He never even opened his mouth to me... and now
(Chorus)
It's too late, there's nothing left to give
Not for your woman, you've got nothin' for your kids
It's too late, there's nothing left to hide
So you go your way and I'll go mine
You go your way, you go your way... and I'll go mine.
Peace On Earth
Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
How can we have peace in the Middle East when there's none at home?
How can we have understanding in the land
When there's none in the woman
And there's none in the man?
(Refrain)
How can we heal the wounds of the world if we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin if not in the home?
Peace On Earth (continued)
(2nd Verse)
Where do we go now... do we let the devil win... or do we get up and fight
Surely we know how to conquer all our fear
Bring an end to the violence
Bring an end to the tears
(Refrain)
How can we heal the wounds of the world if we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin if not in the home?
(Bridge)
Well, there's too much talk about it
And too many walk without it
Where is the love?
Where is the God in your life?
To my left a woman abuses her children
To my right somebody's beating his wife
Tell me, where is the love?!!?
Where is the God in your life?!!?
(Refrain)
How can we heal the wounds of the world if we cannot heal our own?
And where does this peace on earth begin if not in the home?
