THE LADY IN MY LIFE

-Rod Temperton

[1st Verse]

There’ll be no darkness tonight

Lady our love will shine (Light in the life)

Just put your trust in my heart

And meet me in paradise (Now is the time)

Girl, you’re every wonder in this world to me

A treasure time won’t steal away

[Chorus]

So listen to my heart

Lay your body close to mine

Let me fill you with my dreams

I can make you feel alright

And baby through the years

Gonna love you more each day

So I promise you tonight

That you will always be the lady in my life

[Bridge]

Lay back in my tenderness

Let’s make this a night we won’t forget

Girl, I need your sweet caress

Reach out to a fantasy

Two hearts in the beat of ecstasy

Come to me, girl

[Chorus]

And I will keep you warm

Through the shadows of the night

Let me touch you with my love

I can make you feel so right

And baby through the years

Even when we’re old and gray

I will love you more each day

‘Cause you will always be the lady in my life

[Background Vocals Singing…]

Whoo girl, let me keep you warm

You are the lady in my life

Fill you with the sweetest love

Always the lady in my life

Lay back in my tenderness

You are the lady of my life

Rock me with your sweet caress

I love you, I love you, I need you, I want you, baby

[…As Michael’s lead sings]

Stay with me

I want you to stay with me

I need you by my side

Don’t you go nowhere

Let me keep you warm

You’re my lady

Fill you with the sweetest love

I wanna touch you baby

You’re my lady and I love you girl
