I am so with the Rod Stewart song. He rocks.
Luther Vandross DID do that song, I know cause I love it. He must have liked the other groups version too! I don't pay much attention to singers of any color unless they catch my attention for non-singing things. He wasnt big into making a spectacle of himself, I guess. Which is great-who wants to be known as a great white singer or black singer? I would just want to be known that I was a great artist. But thats just me (pasty white, blending into the background amap.) Everyone had great suggestions-or funny ones.
You want to know how white I am? My first cousin Tanya played "Its a nice day for a white wedding" at her wedding. Walking down the aisle with her husband in a catholic church. Weeks later we were all still giggling over that.

I'm a huge fan of The Stylistics and think either of these would be perfect:
You Make Me Feel Brand New
My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words, could not explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you came when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with graditude and love
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new
My love, when ever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave, my pride, back to me
Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for havin' faith in me
God bless you
You made me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song for youBetcha By Golly Wow
There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near youYou're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise and...CHORUS:
Betcha by golly wow (wow) (wow)
You're the one that I've been waiting for... forever
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strongIf I could, I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I know where you are
Paint a rainbow in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of youWrite your name across the sky
Anything you ask, I'll try cuz...REPEAT CHORUS
Betcha by golly!
You're the one, yes you are! (Don't you let 'em tell you otherwise)
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong!Baby, sometime
A man can't find words to express all the things he feels inside
But every just so often
The words of another who's truly in love seem to work out fineTo say I love you (I love you)
To say I'm thinking of you!REPEAT CHORUS
You're the one I'm thinking of, thinkin' of
Ever will my...
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strongI love you, baby

Artist: Sade

Album: Lovers Rock
[" Lovers Rock " CD]You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into meOhh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside
Baby, and you can't get in
I would show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost, you're alone
Can't get back again
I will find you
Darlin' and I'll bring you homeAnd if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes (ooh)
You know time
You'll be fineYou think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into meOhh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, babyOhh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, babyOr this one:
At Last Lyrics by Etta James
At last, my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Oh, yeah, at last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clovers The night I looked at you I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to rest my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile Oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine At last
Of course you could alway go with a song that would excite you husband
and there is a song by NIN that would probably do that. Though, it
isn't very romantic.

The Closer I Get to You
Roberta Flack featuring Donny Hathaway
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Ooooh-ooh-ooh, whoa-oooooh
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fooled the tricks of time
With the hearts of love they find
True love in a special way
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving you all you've got
Your love has captured me
The closer I get to you
The feeling comes over me
Me too
Pulling closer sweet as the gravityhttp://www.last.fm/music/Roberta+Flack/_/The+Closer+I+Get+To+You (Hear a part of it at this link)
