Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me in your arms, but please don′t fly with me
Love me with all your might, let love come naturally
Problems we may have, but everybody does
Memories we cherish are the present and what was

Hold me, baby, that's all you have to do, yeah
Kiss me, baby, and feel the love come through, now
Show me, baby, just how much you care
′Cause I need you, baby
Oh, I need you darling, oh yeah

When I kiss your lips, I feel this warmth inside
The love I have for you, I know it just won't hide
Listen, baby, tell me are you really sure?
'Cause if I′m the one you want, I have love to last for evermore

Hold me, baby, that′s all you have to do, yeah
Kiss me, baby, and feel the love come through, now
Show me, baby, just how much you care
'Cause I need you, baby
Oh, I need you darling, oh yeah

Hold me, baby, that′s all you have to do, yeah

This song reminds me of a different time in life & music..... Brings tears to my eyes.......Rest In Peace, Weldon.... Don Blackman, much respect my brother!!!

@pussycowgirl5767

Yes and it kind of reminds me of Marvin Gaye too

@kirtlou

Weldon's piano & Don Blackman's voice - PERFECTION A real good feel record, just genius.

@nycnycTNC

No, Don Blackman did everything song write, vocal, playing the piano too. Weldon just put his name on credit.

@lexmd221

Beautiful tune, i had the pleasure of playing this live with the genius Don Blackman who actually wrote it for Irvine. Precious memories!

@paulokeefe2557

I saw Weldon in concert in a jazz club only a few years before he was taken from us. Place was a quarter full but that didn't matter, I loved the performance. Spoke to him afterwards in a booth about his extensive career. A wonderfully warm and gracious man. We love you Weldon.

@Wearethechamps

Still loving it so much in 2021. Awesome track💯😍

@MsMerising

Such a gorgeous composer/interpretor. Perfect delivery, perfect back-ups, the song gets brighter and brighter with each progression reflecting indeed how a 'Good Love' does indeed get brighter and brighter with the deepening of bonds :D
