Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lady, our love will shine (lighting the night)
Just put your trust in my heart
And meet me in paradise (now is the time)
Girl, you're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away
So listen to my heart
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And, baby, through the years
Gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight
That you will always be the lady in my life
Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need your sweet caress, oh
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in a beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl
And I will keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And, baby, through the years
Even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you will always be the lady in my life
Stay with me
I want you to stay with me
I need you by my side
Don't you go nowhere
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm)
Let me keep you warm (you are the lady in my life)
You're my lady (feel you with the sweetest love)
I want to squeeze you
(Always the lady in my life)
I want to touch you, baby
(Lay back in my tenderness)
(You are the lady in my life)
(Rock me with your sweet caress)
(Always the lady in my life)
You're my lady and I love you, girl

(Lay back in my tenderness)
Stay with me (you are the lady in my life)
Don't you go nowhere
(Rock me with your sweet caress) and I love you, baby
(Always the lady in my life) ooh
Ooh, babe
Don't you go nowhere
You're my lady
All through the night
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm) I want to give you all
(You are the lady in my life) in my life, now
(Feel you with the sweetest love) let me feel you, baby
(Always the lady in my life) all over, all over, all over
(Lay back in my tenderness) lay back with me
(You are the lady in my life) let me touch you, girl
(Rock me with your sweet caress) lay back with me
(Always the lady in my life) all over, all over, all over
(Ooh, girl, let me keep you warm) all over, all over, all over

I miss my husband. I lost him to Covid on August 28th. When I get to Heaven, I'll be the lady in your life once again.

I'm so sorry for your loss
@pseunition6038
I'm truly sorry, I hope to see you two reunite up there.

@@bosslady7611 I'm so very sorry for your and your family's loss! I lost my husband as well. We had 4 kids and he died young (14 years ago). It was hard but we were and are all comforted by feeling his spirit around us as well as knowing that he was at peace. You're husband's vessel is just gone but he isn't. I pray for your strength.
@bosslady7611
@@TH-ys2ud Thank you for your condolonces and kind words. He lives on in my heart and mind forever. He was only 50 years old when Covid ended his life. But he had been suffering with Diabetes and heart issues for some years. I am happy that his suffering has ended, but my heart aches every day. I try to keep in good spirits, but there are those days when the sadness and grief takes over. But God pulls me up and makes me strong....oh my Savior!!! I may weep in the darkness of night but joy comes in the morning. What hurts me the most is that I couldn't be there for his ending days because of the circumstances. My underlying conditions and his Covid would have been too risky for us. We have 5 daughters, ranging from 13 to 25. It's been hard for all of us, but we keep our faith in God, pray for strength, and look forward to brighter days. We are blessed, despite the challenges and unfortunate circumstances we have faced. We are a family of strong queens. And though we have lost our king, our Father, the King of all kings still reigns. I'm sorry for your loss as well. I share your pain with you. God bless you and you and your family, and I pray for your continued peace and blessings🙏❤
