It's Time, Hewett's debut release for Caliber Records, is, according to the singer, "the first project molded out of my own mind. I'm in charge of the sound and comfortable with the feelings. Those feelings are all about romance. This is the first record that's completely me."
Hewett first burst on the scene as lead singer of Shalamar, the successful post - disco group which topped the charts in both the U.S. and U. K. "Second Time Around," featuring Howard, was a near two - million seller. "For the Lover in You," co-written by Hewett and reinterpreted in It's Time, was another major hit. "Dancing in the Sheets," "A Night to Remember" are just a few more of the Hewett - led smash hits that Shalamar enjoyed as a group.
In the mid-eighties, Howard's solo career rocketed. The first single released on his own, I'm For Real," zoomed to number one. A series of hits followed, such as "Stay," "I Commit to Love," "Strange Relationship," "Once, Twice, Three Times," and "Show Me."
What's more, his original "Say Amen" earned the status of a modern gospel classic, enjoying across the board airplay. And his recorded duets with Anita Baker, Dionne Warwick, Brenda Russell and Stacy Lattisaw won critical accolades.
"Of all the fine singers working today," artist/songwriter Babyface has said, "Howard Hewett is among the finest."
Born in Akron, Ohio, he led his older sisters in the Hewett Singers, a group who played the big-time gospel circuit while Howard was still a pre-teen.
"Spirituality," he says, "is at the heart of my music. Real romance is always spiritual."
The majority of songs on It's Time are Hewett originals. "How Do I Know I Love You?" co-written with long-time collaborator/producer Monty Seward, has the feeling of a time proven standard. And in the one instance when he interprets a motif made famous by another, Marvin Gaye's "Just To Keep You Satisfied," Howard proves himself more than capable of meeting the challenge.
"Just as I believe that I can't compromise romance," says Hewett "I can't compromise my music. I want songs like 'This Love's Forever,' 'On and On' and 'Your Body Needs Healing' to disclose secrets about myself and expose my heart.
"I want to be clear -- 'Crystal Clear' is the name of the song -- about how I need love. Ballads seem to express that need best. That's why I'm thrilled that It's Time is about ballads, ballads and more ballads."
Given the resurgence of romantic pop, It's Time is right on time, certain to gain Howard Hewett new affection and appreciation from an ever-widening audience hungry for great songs from a great singer.

Howard Hewett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ways I can show you how much I love you
Candy, flowers, priceless pearls
Romantic trips around the world, baby, just think
You and me floating on the Caribbean sea
So exotic, I just can just feel heat
And there's candlelight with the moon so high
You've got to let me know
Just how far to let this go
(Ooh)
Help me
(Darling, please show me)
Show me
(How to love you)
You've got to take my hand
Show me that you'll understand
Help me
(Hoo, baby)
Show me
And if time won't allow for such an affair, darling, I don't care
We don't have to go anywhere
We'll stay at home, turn the lights down low, play our favorite video
Or better still make our own private show
And we'll love so deeply, I feel your arms completely
With love that only we can share
I'll taste your sweet lips, caress your fingertips
But before I go on, hoo, ooh, ooh
You've got to let me know
(You know, baby)
Just how far to let this go
(I wanna love you, baby)
Help me
(Hey)
Show me
(How I could love you more each day)
You've got to take my hand
Show me that you'll understand
(Don't want our love to slip away)
Help me, show me
Baby, please, please let me know
How to be everything for you
Just show me what to do, oh, baby
I?ll make sweet love to you all night long
I'm holding on to the words of this love song, baby
Hoo
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Show me, show me
Oh, girl
Hey, hey
You've got to let me know
(Oh, baby)
Just how far to let this go
Help me
(Oh, baby, show me)
Show me
(How I could love you more and more each day)
You've got to take my hand
Show me that you'll understand
(How I can love you)
Help me
(Say it)
Show me
(I wanna fantasize with you, baby)
You've got to let me know
Just how far to let this go
(Take you away, girl)
Help me
(And just show me)
Show me
(How I can love you)
You've got to take my hand
(Oh, oh, oh)
Show me that you'll understand
(I wanna hold you all night long, girl)
Help me
(Hey)
Show me
(I wanna fantasize all the love we're makin')
You've got to let me know
(Just gonna love you)
Just how far to let this go
(Oh, baby, baby, baby)
Help me
(Hey)
Show me
(I wanna love you)
You've got to take my hand
(Oh)
Show me that you'll understand
Help me
(Help me, help me)
Show me

Line by Line Meaning
Every day my imagination anticipates
I think about showing you how much I love you constantly
Ways I can show you how much I love you
I have many ideas about how to demonstrate my love
Candy, flowers, priceless pearls
I could give you gifts like candy, flowers, or pearls
Romantic trips around the world, baby, just think
I could take you on romantic trips all over the globe - imagine that, baby
You and me floating on the Caribbean sea
We could float together in the Caribbean sea
So exotic, I just can just feel heat
The Caribbean is so exotic - I can already feel the heat
And there's candlelight with the moon so high
We'll have candlelit dinners with the moon high in the sky
Hangin' in a Spanish sky but before right or wrong, hoo, girl
But before we do anything, girl, we need to make sure we're on the same page
You've got to let me know
I need you to communicate with me
Just how far to let this go
I don't want to overstep your boundaries
Help me
I need your help and guidance
(Darling, please show me)
Please show me, my love
Show me
Demonstrate to me
(How to love you)
How I can love you more and better
You've got to take my hand
I need you to come with me
Show me that you'll understand
I need you to understand where I'm coming from
(Hoo, baby)
Oh, my dear
And if time won't allow for such an affair, darling, I don't care
If we can't do everything I've proposed, that's okay
We don't have to go anywhere
We can stay at home if that's what you prefer
We'll stay at home, turn the lights down low, play our favorite video
We can have a cozy night in - we'll dim the lights and watch our favorite video
Or better still make our own private show
Or we could do something more intimate
And we'll love so deeply, I feel your arms completely
We'll be so in love, I'll feel enveloped by your arms
With love that only we can share
Our love is unique and special
I'll taste your sweet lips, caress your fingertips
Our love-making will be passionate and tender
But before I go on, hoo, ooh, ooh
But I don't want to get ahead of myself
(You know, baby)
You understand, my love
(I wanna love you, baby)
I want to love you deeply, my love
(Hey)
Listen to me
(How I could love you more each day)
How can I improve and deepen our love with each passing day?
(Don't want our love to slip away)
I don't want our love to fade or weaken
(Say it)
Tell me what you think and feel, my love
(I wanna fantasize with you, baby)
I want to dream and fantasize about our future together, my love
(Take you away, girl)
I want to take you away and show you the world, my love
(I wanna hold you all night long, girl)
I want to hold you close all night long, my love
(I wanna love you)
I want to love you deeply, my love
(Help me, help me)
Please assist me, my love
(Show me, girl)
Demonstrate to me, my love

A shame you don’t hear this kind of music in this day and age.
@cigarsmoker5575
This is real music!
@sonianichols6900
If you are in JAMAICA you will hear this song on KOOL 97 FM THE BEST RADIO
@ebonybell3027
And IS…..came out the year after I graduated high school ahhh life was so better then🥹
@gloriavalentine8173
Too busy promoting evil & bull crap. Love has become null & void for some. Beautiful song & music. Howard's voice is as always fantastic.
@Damonslayton-nc2lp
Unfortunately when a man sends a woman this song this day in age it's to real it's not cursing or degrading, it's a song from the soul and we need our women to know that they are so much more than an object they are our soul mates our rib. Our blessing's
@MrBlactye
Howard Hewett was slept on in my humble opinion. This man has one of those voices that can take you on a journey and back.
@litabenglish3967
He sure was MrBlactye.
I was 10 years old when this song came out and I loved it back then.
@MrBlactye
@@litabenglish3967 Now you got me telling my age. Because I was a teenager when this song came out. And I still love this song.
@avisrobinson1150
@MrBlactye
I concur!! 100%!
