Faith Evans Album

Faith is the substance of the things 
Things hoped for 
It is the heaven dance 
Of things not seen 
Don't you know I 
I have the faith 
To conquer anything 
Keep the faith

I never knew there was a love like this before 
Never had someone.. to show me, a love, 
Love like this before 

Now that, we have, come to be 
A brand new light, I can't see 
Never thought you'd be a special, part of me, no baby 
The reasons, are, because of you 
I can go on, and make it through 
I can't even take my mind off loving you 
And I wanna say 

I never knew there was a love like this before 
Never had someone.. to show me, a love, 
Love like this before

Faith, '99 

(Faith Evans)

(Chorus) 
We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you wanna do 
All night long 

Happy days are here 
So leave your cares behind 
Just relax your mind 
It's so easy to do it 

Just enjoy yourself 
If the feeling's right 
Get your groove on tonight 
Take your time tonight 
Everything's all right 
Ain't nothing but a party 

(Chorus) 

Get up on the floor 
Don't worry 'bout a thing 
The rhythm's got you now 
So come on, get into it 

Just enjoy yourself 
If the feeling's right 
Get your groove on tonight 
Take your time tonight 
Everything's all right 
Ain't nothing but a party 

(Chorus) 

Have a good time 
Lay back, relax 
Just free your mind 
Let the music take control of you 

(Puff Daddy)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
If it's a hot then I must've did it 
If it's not then I wasn't with it 
Bad Boy stay committed 
Whether hip-hop or R&B 
Featuring Faith Evans, co-starring me, P. Diddy 
You know I got the key to your city 
Unlock the door, rock some more 
Beats we lace 
Bad Boy heat the place 
We run R&B too cuz we keep the faith 
Givin the streets a taste 
Blaze the charts 

(Faith Evans)
I remember 

(Puff Daddy)

In case you forgot 
First Lady Be making it hot 
Ain't nobody taking the spot 
Now it's Faith instead of pain 
Coming through with a better grain 
In the dash, cell phone better range 
Get the cash, and stock paper for the whole four quarters 
Damn, some things never change 
Can ya feel me? Ya feel me? Let's make 'em dance 
Let's go 

(Chorus) 

Have a good time 
Lay back, relax 
Just free your mind 
Let the music take control of you 

(Chorus) 

You turn the rain into sunny days 
You take the clouds away 
Baby you're the one 
I feel like heaven's a step away 
He sent an angel my way 
Baby you're the one 

I remember when 
I used to be afraid to love again 
But now I realize 
That you're the one who brings the sun 
You turn 

(Chorus) 

Something real I can feel 
I was searching for 
I didn't wanna hurt no more 
Then you came, made a change 
Since you came and made it right 
I can love you all my days 

(Chorus) 

Can you tell me where would I be? 
What would I do if I hadn't found you? 
Though I've been in love before 
You can be compared to none 
Cuz you really bring the sun 

(Chorus) 

I always try to hide the way that I feel 
But I can't lie 
That you're the one for me 
You bring me ecstasy 

(Chorus) x2 

Sunshine in my life 
No more stormy days 
Sunshine in my life 
No more stormy days 
Sunshine in my life 

All away (wipe all my) 
All away (my tears away) 
You Wipe (Yes you do) 
You wipe them all away (You wipe 'em) 
All away (All of my tears away) 
You wipe my tears all away 
All away (You came in my life) 
All away (and wipe my tears away) 
You wipe 
You wipe them all the away ( Oh how I love You) 
All away (and oh how I need You) 
You wipe my tears all away 
All away all away 

(Intro) 

Oh, baby, yeah 
How come it hurts so babe 
Why does it feel so sad 

To fall in love was something that my heart was dreaming of 
And then there came the day when I found you 
And heaven came to earth and you were my angel 
I fell in love with you 
No one but you 

Suddenly I saw the change that came into your eyes 
I feel you were afraid to tell me why 
I thought the thing called love would be forever 
Thought our love was true 
And now the pain of losing you 

(Chorus) 

If you never know just what you mean 
You are my first love 
If you never know 
You're everything 
You are my first love 

Tell me how a thing that brings such joy can bring such pain 
And how could something so wrong seem so right 
We never had the chance to make it get better 
We never said goodbye, no 
I never wanna feel the pain of losing love again 
Cuz love just has a way of breaking down 
Next time I'm gonna pray that things will be better 
The second time around 
So here's to love that's lost and found 

I won't cry, no, I won't break down 
Even though inside it hurts so bad 
Next time I will make love last 
Though you will always have a place in my heart 

(Chorus) x2 

I won't cry, no, I won't break down 
Even though inside it hurts so bad 
Next time I will make love last 
Though you will always have a place in my heart 

My first love 
No one could ever take your place, no, no 
My first love 
No one could ever take your place, no, no 

(Chorus) 

I'm so glad that you came and found me 
Don't have to cry cuz it's all right 
I'm so glad that you came and found me 
Anything you need, you know I'll be much obliged 

The time has come to let you know 
Just what I'm feeling 
I'm feeling in my soul 
I never wanted no, to fall so deep for you 
But now you've got me completely in love 
But if you wanna know 

If you wanna now then I will have to show you 
What I'm feeling in my heart 
Never be afraid you can count on me 
Cuz I'll protect you 
I'll respect you 
I'll always be around 

(Chorus) 

Please don't be alarmed by my hesitation 
To notice your charm 
I wasn't too optimistic about it at first 
But now I'm so, so very glad 

(Chorus) 

People say that love can be unkind 
It can tear your heart to pieces 
And shake you up inside 
But I don't worry about tomorrow 
Cuz I believe in the power of love 
Break it down 

Ad lib 

Thinking about you 
Can't live without you 
Anything that you need 
Baby, you can count on me 

(Chorus) 

You promised not to let me down 
You promised that you'd be around 
You said I'd never hurt again 
Me believe you? There's no way 

You promised that you'd hold my hand 
You promised that you'd be my man 
I need for you to understand 
For me to trust you, there's no way 

You come and go 
You stay, you leave 
You're full of empty promises 
That never came to be 
And baby you say our love was built to last 
Not love like this 
I need someone to count on 
Not just now and then 
And baby you said 

(Chorus) 

You promised not to let me down 
You promised that you'd be around 
You said I'd never hurt again 
Me believe you? There's no way 

You promised that you'd hold my hand 
You promised that you'd be my man 
I need for you to understand 
For me to trust you, there's no way 

I'm moving on, oh that's best for me 
You swear to make it better, babe 
But I can't believe 
Cuz I've heard it all before 
It's in the past, must look ahead 
I thought that I'd be loving you 
But I'm hurt instead, oh you 

(Chorus) 

You promised not to let me down 
You promised that you'd be around 
You said I'd never hurt again 
Me believe you? There's no way 

You promised that you'd hold my hand 
You promised that you'd be my man 
I need for you to understand 
For me to trust you, there's no way 

Every tear I've cried, every time you lied 
And every time you broke my heart 
Now I'm going on ¡®till the pain is gone 
I'm waiting for the pain to go away 

(Chorus till fade...) 

You promised not to let me down 
You promised that you'd be around 
You said I'd never hurt again 
Me believe you? There's no way 

You promised that you'd hold my hand 
You promised that you'd be my man 
I need for you to understand 

I've got three children to think about first 
I've got so much to do 
Little time to work 
I've paid my dues as you can see 
Been in all kinds of drama in my life series 
The world needs to know that I 

Gotta move on, gotta be strong 
Can't let no one get me down, oh no 
Problems they come, problems they go 
Can't let no one get me down, oh no 

(Chorus) 

What I'm thinking of 
Life's not that important if you don't have love 
Striving for perfection every day 
I must make it better than it was the day before 

Never will I be a fool and take my blessings for granted 
I know God's been by my side 
And everything's gonna be all right 

Gotta move on, gotta be strong 
Can't let no one get me down, oh no 
Problems they come, problems they go 
Can't let no one get me down, oh no 

(Chorus) 

Even though you may have to cry 
(Dry your eyes) 
It will be all right 
(Just put your faith) 
Put your faith in the one who makes you strong 
The one who makes you strong 

(Chorus) 

Life will pass you by in the twinkling of an eye 
If you didn't, now you know 
You can't keep wasting time 
We're getting older every day 
There's more to life than just today 
Our future's not that far away 
You can't keep wasting time 

I've seen the lightning flashing 
Heard the thunder roll 
I feel the cold winds blowing 
Trying to conquer my soul 

(Chorus) 

If I just hold my peace 
Let the Lord fight my battles 
If I can keep the faith through the night 

I hear the voice of reason 
Telling me to fight on 
Cuz I come to know I've come too far to turn around 

Weeping may endure for a night 
But joy is gonna come tomorrow 
Though I go through the fire 
I shall come out as pure gold 

When problems come just keep the faith 
It won't be long until the day 
Things will turn around if you just 
If you just stand your ground 

(Chorus) 

When problems come just keep the faith 
It won't be long until the day 
Things will turn around if you just 
If you just, just stand your ground 

I only have to keep the faith 
I only have to keep the faith 
I don't have to fight no more no no no 

I only have to keep the faith 
I only have to keep the faith 

You have a special place 
In my heart 
You have a special place 
In my heart 
Baby you're always have 
A special place 
In my heart 
Baby you'll always have 
A special place in my heart 

Special place.. 

If I had one wish, boy 
I'd wish you next to me 
And it could be in summer, fall or spring, boy 
'Cause you make my heart sing 
I wanna give my heart, my soul, my love to you 
Oh baby 
'Cause every day I'm not with you 
I'm missing you like crazy 
I need for you to... 

(Chorus) 

I need for you to love me, hold me, touch me 
Down deep in my soul, and never let it go 
Of the love we share, no one compares to you 
I'll never let you go 'cause I really love you so 
Oh I... 
I'll never let you go, oh no 

If you must know the truth, boy 
I'm nothing without you 
Now I know what people mean, boy 
When it's too good to be true 
Because you give me joy, good love, 
good times, such happiness 
Oh yea 
And every day I thank the Lord for you, 
I feel so blessed 
I need for you to... 

(Chorus) 

If you only knew 
What you really do 
Ain't never had no one that does it quite like you do 
You could spend half a lifetime 
Trying to find one like you 
That's why I am so glad I found you 
I wished upon a star and it came true 
Darling, I need for you to... 

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Oh yeah 

Why can't you stay 
With me for just a while 
Cuz if you leave 
You'll take a piece of me 
Why can't you stay 
With me for just a while 
Boy, you know you have the key to my heart 

Living my life without you 
Something I don't wanna do 
So please don't walk away 
And leave me all alone 
Baby, stay for just a while 

Why can't you stay with me 
For just a while 
Cuz if you leave 
You'll take a piece of me 
Why can't you stay 
With me for just a while 
Boy, you know you have the key to my heart 

[Faith Evans]

(Chorus) 

Caramel kisses you send my way 
I won't complain, just don't go away - 

Caramel kisses you send my way 
I won't complain, just don't go away 

You made my heart melt the other day 
When we laid by the fire in the middle of May 
It was so romantic I'll say 
When you gave me your love in your caramel way 

(Chorus) 

Many times before and many times again 
You'll recall to me the reasons why 
You are more than my friend 
It's not only because you were there for my kids 
It's the simple things like your caramel kiss 

[112]

Living life with you can be so right 
Loving you through the night 
Your love is so amazing, baby 
Oh, never have I felt a love like this 
Baby, I can't resist 
Something about your kiss 
Something about your kiss 

(Chorus) 

Caramel kisses don't go away 
Caramel kisses baby, don't go away 
Caramel kisses don't go away 
Caramel kisses baby, don't go away 
Caramel kisses don't go away 
Caramel kisses baby, don't go away 

Lately I don't wanna see the morning sun 
Lately I, I'm not much good to anyone 
Lately I don't laugh the way I used to do, no 
Lately I've been cryin' 
Lately I've been missing you 

Lately I don't wanna hear my favorite song 
Lately I, I'm finding it hard to carry on 
Lately everything I see is painted blue, oh 
Baby I've been dyin' 
Baby I've been missing you, oh 

Lately I don't know why I ever let you go 
But I want you back 
I need you back 
Without you it's all wrong 
Baby, make it right 
Bring your love back to my life 
Cuz nothing's been the same since you've been gone 

Lately I don't feel like talking to my friends 
Lately I, I feel like this pain will never end 
I don't want to go the places we went to, no, no, no 
I don't feel like smiling 
Baby I'm just missing you , oh oh oh 

Oh baby 
I want you back 
I need you back 
Without you it's all wrong 
Baby, make it right 
Bring your sweet love back to my life 
Cuz I'm just not the same since you've been gone, oh whoa 

Lately I don't wanna see the morning sun 
Lately I, I'm not much good to anyone 
Lately I don't laugh the way I used to do, no, no no no 
Lately I've been cryin' 
Baby, I've been dyin', oh yeah 
Save me from this pain I'm going through 
Lately I've been cryin' 
Lately I've been missing, missing you
