Dear Lover

If I could paint a picture Of the love I have inside It would paint all of you and all of me Without no thought of pride Then maybe you would know Exactly all the things I feel Not just a maybe But baby, I'm for real ?Cause I've been wishin' on the stars and hopin' Just as it shoots across the sky Searchin' for the so-called answers That we're supposed to find in time Holding you close Not letting go Baby, I've got to let you know Dear lover I hope this letter finds you Dear lover And that it comes in time to say no, ?C'est la vie? Baby, dear lover Listen to me If I could write your name out Forever in the Hall of Fame It would be history, no mystery Not at all in vain I'd quote a poet on a verse That read when I was small And write your name out Across the sky in letter ten feet tall ?Cause I've been wishing on the rings of Saturn Calling on Jupiter and Mars Praying on ten zillion light years To bring you closer to my heart Holding you close Not letting go Baby, I've got to let you know Dear lover I hope this letter finds you Dear lover And that it comes in time to say no, ?C'est la vie? Baby, listen to me, darlin' Baby, every word that I say Baby, I'll give you my love, ooh...ooh... Baby, if you say you love me I'll be right by your side Dare anyone to try to take you from me all my life Straight from my heart Dear lover Straight from my heart Dear lover Straight from my heart Dear lover Ooh...hoo...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... Dear lover Dear lover Straight, straight, straight from my heart Dear lover --- Dear Lover - Teena Marie
