Lady, let me dry the rain drops from your beautiful hair
That's all I ever want to do
And darling let be the one you can always depend on
You know I will never let you down
Cause I, want to spend my whole life just hoping
That I can please you, cause that's all I ever want to do
Its all about you, its not about me
There is no one more beautiful than you are to me
Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side
Cause its all about you, hey, hey
Lady, I will be the sunshine that brighten up your way
And it doesn't have to be a special day
Please, let me take you to a sacred place where only lovers go
Our own little hide away
Cause I, want to spend my whole life just hoping
That I can please you, cause that's all I ever want to do
Its all about you, its not about me
There is no one more beautiful than you are to me
Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side
Girl, I have search all over the world
Trying to find that special girl
But when I looked into you eyes
I knew you were the one for me
So now I am giving my life to you
So what ever you want
What ever you need
I am willing and able to give
(Repeat until fade)
Its all about you, its not about me
There is no one more beautiful than you are to me




Its all about you, its not about me
And I am proud to know that you have me here by your side

This track shows his true vocal tones. The notes and the tone changes he hits on a regular in this makes him stand out on his own. No one now or ever can sing like Luther. He was a true talent and is sadly missed daily by loyal fans. Respect to all the magic music he bought to us all.

Melinda McClellan

Completely agree! Love this song....love and miss Luther

Sylvia Richardson

It's 2:45 a.m. and I am lying here listening to my favorite singer, Luther Vandross. His voice is so soothing and the lyrics of this song so beautiful, that I cannot help but lie back, relax and enjoy this moment. I absolutely love this song and will probably play it all day long. Luther was and will always be the best as far as I am concerned.
