Brian McKnight
"Anyway"

[verse]
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
Never known yet
The joy of lasting love
Now I'm reaching for your hand
On the shore of happiness
Oh, acquiesce
To you my dear, my love

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that I know that I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
Anyway

[verse]
You're the perfect lover
And you are the perfect friend
Now all that's ever been
We simply rose above
And as long as we don't build
A castle on quicksand
We'll experience and understand
The pleasure of lasting love
My heart's on fire
Burning with a flame that will never die
There's a voice inside
Saying don't be afraid don't compromise

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd all but I fell
Anyway

[bridge]
There are many, many words that I could say
Melodies I could could play
Prayers that I can pray
Nothing could take your love away

[chorus]
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway
I know
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
Anyway
