Terry Lynn Ellis, born September 5, 1963 in Houston, Texas, USA, is an African-American R&B singer. After receiving a degree in Marketing from Prarie View A & M University, she joined En Vogue. Terry Ellis began her musical career in 1990 as a member of For You, along with Dawn Robinson, Cindy Herron, and Maxine Jones. The group later changed its name from For You to En Vogue and recorded a parade of R&B hits.
By the mid-'90s, the members of En Vogue took a three-year break from recording, which gave Ellis a chance to record an album of her own, 1995's Southern Gal, released on Elektra. Two of the singles became hits: "Wherever You Are" and "What Did I Do to You."
Dawn Robinson, who also went solo, didn't come back, but Ellis and the other two En Vogue members rejoined forces in 1997 to complete another album, EV3. Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide

My love, been such a long, long time
One day I always knew I’d hear from you again
But I’m sorry to find you’re havin’ such hard times
Build me a road, dear, and I will come runnin’
No matter how long or how hard it may be (Where ever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
I promise I’ll be there whenever you need
Who thought it would ever come to this
One last letter with no one last kiss
As the seasons go by, every day you’re on my mind, baby
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
I long one day to be with you, so I say
Build me a road, dear (Oh, yes), and I will come runnin’ (I’ll come runnin’)
No matter how long or (How) how hard it may be (Where ever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
(I promise) I promise (I’ll be there) I’ll be there whenever you need
You promised me, I promised you
The love for one another was true
But somewhere in time we went on with our lives
Now we’re, oh, so far apart, too far to make a start
Too long to make it end, I must see you again
Build me a road, dear, and I will come runnin’
No matter how long (No matter) or how hard it may be (Where ever you are)
I have the light from your love, dear, to guide me
I promise I’ll be there (Hey...) whenever you need
Where ever you are
Where ever you are, mmm... yeah

Hit me with your best song, Todd
The lyrics of Terry Ellis's song "Where Ever You Are" is about long-lost love and how distance and time did not weaken the connection they once had. The song suggests that the long separation did not weaken their bond and love for each other, but instead fueled it. Ellis sings, "But somewhere in time we went on with our lives, Now we’re, oh, so far apart, too far to make a start, Too long to make it end, I must see you again." These lyrics express the idea that distance separates the two, but their love is strong enough to bring them back together, and no matter how long or hard it may be, the singer will find her way back to her love.
The song is nostalgic and expresses the emotions that the singer has carried throughout her life. The lyrics exude a sense of longing and a promise to find her love. They reveal that the singer has been waiting for her love to come back to her, and she is willing to drop everything and be there for him whenever he needs her, as expressed in the lyrics "I promise I'll be there whenever you need."
