Just Once...

With this blog, it is also my wish to include some of the songs that I have heard over the radio and post them up here so that one day in the faraway future, I can sift through them and recall the days of my youth that is sadly fading away too fast with too little time to really do everything I want. Another reason is because I have a problem with remembering the singers and titles of those really nice and easy listening English songs so this blog will help me remember them better.

Well, to kick off, here is a song from one of my favourite artiste of R&B and soul. (Yes, I really love this genre alot.) The singer in question is James Ingram and "Just Once".

I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough
'cause here we are back where we were before
seems nothing ever changes
we're back to being strangers
wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once
can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why we never last for very long
what are we doing wrong.
just once
can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
I know we could break through it.
Ohh ohhh

I gave my heart
but I think my heart may have been too much
'cause lord knows we're not getting anywhere
seems we're always blowing
whatever we've got going
and it seems at times with all we've got
we haven't got a prayer....

Just once
can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why the good times never last for long,
where are we going wrong
just once...
can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it

(Bridge)
Just once, I want to understand.....
why it always comes back to goodbye;
why can't we get ourselves in hand
and admit to one another
we're no good without each other
take the best and make it better
find a way to stay together

Just once.....
can't we find a way to finally make it right...Ohhhh
to make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it

Just Once.....
Ohhhh, we can get to it
Just Once.....
