Brian McKnight — Anyway

[Verse 1] I have been through many disappointments and regrets Never known yet, the joy of lasting love Now I'm reaching for your hand on the shore of happiness Oh, I acquiesce To you, my dear, my love [Chorus] You take my breath away You're everything I desire I can't stay away I used to say never, but I'll never say never again Every night and day, I realize what can't be denied I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway And I know that, I know that, I know that I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway [Verse 2] You're the perfect lover and you are the perfect friend Now all that's ever been, we simply rose above And as long as we don't build a castle on quicksand We'll experience and understand, oh The pleasure of lasting love [Pre-Chorus] My heart's on fire Burning with a flame that will never die There's a voice inside Saying don't be afraid, don't compromise [Chorus] You take my breath away You're everything I desire I can't stay away I used to say never, but I'll never say never again Every night and day, I realize what can't be denied I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway And I know that, I know that, I know that I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway [Bridge] There are many, many words that I could say Melodies that I could play Prayers that I could pray Nothing could take your love away [Chorus] You take my breath away You're everything I desire I can't stay away I used to say never, but I'll never say never again Every night and day, now I realize what can't be denied I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway And I know that, I know that, I know that I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway I know, I know, I know I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway And I know that, I know that, I know that I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway
