After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.
This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It," the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.
In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.
Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.
Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

Better with Time
Glenn Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't wait until we are away
'Cause last night
Is just a preview to the love we'll make
It's morning time
To see the sun shining off your face
Really just remindsOf how more beautiful you are each day
Faithfully how we still love so deep
Much better than a fantasy
You and I became we
I believe more than what I can see
Keep on believing mind could conceive
God must really love me
[Chorus]
'Cause you're mine
And it's getting better with time
Lately I find
You keep getting better with time
You're mine
And it's getting better with time
Lately I find
You keep getting better with time
I know we love
Don't know what's betting your smiles or your cares
I know my love
The way we are is no coincidence
'Cause both of us
We know that love is more than just a gift
It's more than trustIt's how we know that destiny exists
Faithfully how we still love so deep
Much better than a fantasy
How you and I became we
I believe more than what I can see
Keep on mind could conceive
God must really love me
After coming so far
And to receive a love like ours
Everything we've been through
Love I'd do it all again with you
Many love's has gone wrong
Until you came around
Wasn't always sure of faith
Girl you make love worth the wait
'Cause you're mine
[Chorus]
Better with time
Lately I find
You keep getting better with time
You're mine
And it's getting better with time
Lately I find
You keep getting better with time

Wasn't always sure of faith
Had doubts about love and faithfulness
Girl you make love worth the wait
Beloved made waiting for love worthwhile
Better with time
Our love is improving as time passes
