Anita Baker is classic and timeless. Her voice will always reminds me of summers when I was a kid. Although I'm a fan of some of the current music, nothing is better than 80's & 90's R&B. It still makes me happy when I hear it. This particular song means more to me now than when I was a kid. This song has been on repeat for days now. The opening line is simple yet powerful. The thing I love the most about Anita is how powerful and soulful her voice is. I remember being a kid singing this song in the car. It's a great love song and I am a sucker for those. Enjoy this oldie but goodie!
"You bring me joy
When I'm down
Oh, so much joy
When I lose my way
your love comes smiling on me
I saw your face
And then I knew
We would be friends
I was so afraid
but your arms,
they'd say 'come to me'
So I'd say to you
"Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say "alright"
When you love me,
I smile I feel you hands
and you feel mine
You bring me joy
You bring me joy
Don't go too far away
If I can't see your face,
I will remember that smile
But can this be right
Or should we be friends
I get lonely sometimes and
I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
My joy, my joy
I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just love you,
can't you see that you're the best
I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
My joy... you're my joy
My joy... my, my joy
Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
I just love you, baby
When I lose my way,
your love comes smiling on me"
