Ahmir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1: (BIG MIKE)
I can't believe
This day has come
I'm in my tux you're in your wedding gown and
Family and friends
They're all staring at us
I know that they can tell that our love will last
Chorus: (GROUP & BIG MIKE)
Lady I want
Our love
To grow throughout the years
As I look back in time, I see
Some joy, some pain, some tears
You're my lady and my friend
I always knew
This broken heart you would help mend
You're the woman of my dreams
My search is over
All you need is to be loved and cared for

Verse 2: (MR. JONES)
There is something that I wanna say
To you love of my life
To my future, my future wife
Lady would you come closer, listen to everything
Baby lend me your ear
For these words so sincere

Chorus: (GROUP & MR. JONES)

Bridge: (GROUP & SING-SING)
First exchange of vows, then I turn to you
I kiss your lips after we say I do
I'm prepared to love you, through sickness and health
As I reminisce, I gotta ask myself
Where would I be
Without you in my life baby

Vamp: (GROUP & BIG MIKE)
Through all of our problems girl I'm just so glad that you wouldn't give up on us
For where would I be in this world without you in my life I need you so much
Through all of our problems girl I'm just so glad that you wouldn't give up on us For where would I be in this world without you in my life I need you so much

Vamp Out: (GROUP & SING-SING)
Baby you know that I need you yes
And I don't want nobody else
But you in my life
I need your smile




I need your touch
I love you girl, so very much yeah

I love this group so much!! They’re music is blessings to my ears

Arthur Jankins

The purity of love flows through this song, and, their vocals are divine! This is a wonderful song. Minus the vocalist with the heavy bass voice, this group so reminds me of Boys II Men! Their harmonies are top notch, and their voices sound incredible. Just bumped into this group not too long ago and have to say, doing so was a marvelous find:)

Dee Rose

I just watched my wedding video tonight. We were married 7/11/13. I walked down the aisle to this amazing song . Still gives me chills.

AHMIR

Dee Rose wow... Thanks for sharing this note and we feel so blessed to have been a part of your wedding Dee :)

Devin Marcotte

I was in middle school, 15 at the time when this came out. I remember I use to just sit and watch y'alls videos all night. I'm 24 now, with a daughter and I plan on marrying her mother to this song. Ahmir will always be my favorite R&B group next to Boys to men. Glad all 4 of you guys are still together and alive and well.

Tania Williams

I walked down the aisle to this song.

AHMIR

Thanks for checking us out. The song "Come Back" was written after we completed our album. Glad you like it!!!

Arthur Jankins

It is insane that the views for this song isn't in the multiple millions, this song is so beautiful! Still, this one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever come across, was not expecting it to be this good. Even without the massive exposure this song deserves, this song is a classic!
