_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [G#] _
_ _ _ Is everybody still awake?
[C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] I [A#m] want to talk with you [G#] for a while if I may.
There are some of you here that really don't know me, but I [F#] was raised in California.
_ I grew up along the [C#] river banks of the [G#] Mississippi River _ in a town called East St.
Louis.
[F#] _ _ [C#]
Every once in a while my father would make time to take me fishing, _ [G#] and when we would
go fishing we would talk.
We talked about a lot of things.
We talked about life.
[A#m]
We talked about mama.
We [F#] talked about the family.
We talked about the man's [C#] role in the family.
[G#]
And we talked about love.
Because it was important [C#] for my father to make me understand what the love of a woman
meant in your life.
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ [G#]
And I remember one day he looked down at my eyes and he said,
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] One day _ _ [G#] _
we're gonna find a woman.
[F#] _ [A#m] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
_ My love, that's the [C#] secret of love.
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] And I didn't realize until I was a grown man what [A#] daddy was trying to tell me.
[C#] He [F#] was telling me that so-so kind of [C#] loves can come and go.
But [G#] he wanted me to know that real true [A#] love will [G#m] surely last forever. _
[A#] _ [C#] No one could love you [A#m] more.
[Cm] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A#m] Whatever _ your [G#] mind [C#] may say, [D#] I'm sure. _

Don't [C#] protect the baby right _ now.
I know I say this love I give to you is gonna be [F#]
all [G#] _ yours _ [A#m] forever. _
[C#] No one could kiss [D#m] like this.
Or [F] kiss me back [B] _ [C#m] this moment. _
_ Simply called [A#] pure _ [D#]
bliss.
[F] _ _ We're [A#m] two hearts _ [G#] that you can't [C#] divide.
_ Not with space. _
Not with time.
Only one word can define us.
_ What I will _ [G#] love you [D#m] forever.
I will love _
[C#m] [E] you forever.

[E] _ _ _ love _ [A] _ [E]
[B] you forever.
If _ _ _ _ [F#] [C#] you can't keep me.
So hold your breath.
Don't protect the baby right now.
