Anita Baker - If Only For A While
I won't be neglectedI won't be deniedThe pleasure of your kissedThe pleasure of your smileI think you take for grantedI'll always be hereJust because I love youIt doesn't mean I won't disappearCHORUSBeen so long . . . of missin' you, babyBeen so long . . . of missin' you, babyThoughts and mellow memoriesOf once upon a timeSlowly creepin' on meAnd they linger on my mindJust let somebody love youI just don't know whyWhenever I get close to youYou want to run and hideCHORUSIt's been so long . . . of missin' you, babyIt's been so long . . . of missin' you, babyIt's been so long . . . of missin' you, babyIt's been so long . . . of missin' you, babyWe began lovers' danceThe road was smooth to romanceAnd we sang love sweet song every dayI believe that love would stay in my heartNow it's torn all apartIt's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to sayI don't believe that you could do me this wayNow don't you understandI'm in need of comfortThe comfort of your hand in mineAnd what I feel insideWhy don't you come closerI can't hideBeen so longBeen so long . . . can't hideBeen so longBeen so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, babyBeen so long . . . won't you come home, see about mesee about meBeen so long

What do you think about this song?
I have loved this song from 1999. It has helped me through the passing of all of my loved ones since. This song expresses how I feel and knowing that God will let it last for a little while. Loving this song has helped me through major depression and is still doing so today Thank you for this beautiful song.
