Spend a Lifetime
Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want from you is love
And I know you can give such sweet moments
To last me so long
'Cause, you make me feel so strong
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, baby
Make it happen
Oh girl
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, baby
'Cause you make me that good
And nothing else matters
Until you're in my arms, girl
And all those broken promises we made to each other
We have so much more to give
I know that we can do this
That's how I want to live
Eternally, together
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, baby
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, baby
Will you make it happen for us now
Please this time
You know I need your touch honey
I want your touch honey
Like the morning sun has just begun
Girl, like the rain on my window pane
Girl, if I could make you stay
More than one day
Eternally together
Oh girl I need your touch
Oh girl I want your loving
Sweet, you know that we can make it happen
For you and for me to be
And eternally together we will be

Not sure why lyrics are missing here, and all over the internet, so tried to write down the rest by ear (and also added, replaced and remove some words)
Touch me in the night time
All I want from you is love
And I know you can give me such sweet moments
To last me so long
You make me feel so strong
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, Baby
Make it happen
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you,
Oh girl
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, Baby
Cos you make me feel that good
And nothing else matters
Until you're in my arms, girl
And all those broken promises we made to each other
We have so much more to give
I know that we can do this
That's how I want to live
Eternally, together
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you, Baby
All I want to do is spend a lifetime with you,
Ooo, will you make it happen for us now
Please this time
You know I need your touch honey
I want your touch honey
Like the morning sun has just begun
Girl, like the rain on my window pane
Girl, if I could make you stay

I am 37. I first heard this album when I was 14. It is still my favorite album.
@WebMentorCR
Mine too. One of the very very few albums in my life where I absolutely enjoyed all tracks. Sure, some are better than others, but back then, when you bought the CD, you disliked some tracks in an album. Not this one.
@jacquelineadams3770
Those violins, do something to me.
@karlafalfan1794
Violines and the piano... sweet combination ❤
