Another solid original reggae lovers rock
You can't know how good the vibe is unless you hear it. Im all about the music. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Im always down for making the sound better.
Started out playing rhythm guitar in New York for the reggae group Lion Force in the early 80s. Toured the US extensively for 7 years doing gigs in various cities and colleges.The band lasted until the beginning of the 90s. After the break up I turned to production which I continue to do now on a daily basis.
Story behind the song
A love story told in unusual fashion...unforgettable
Lyrics
[Intro Ad Lib]
oh yeah, baby, honey
[Verse 1]
i 've seen love rise and fall like the tide
i've watched strong hearts
weaken from the inside
but when you found me, i understood
some bonds are written
in something stronger than blood
[Chorus]
i'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph,
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph,
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
it's a flame
[Verse 2]
i don't need perfect, i just need true
a heart that says when the sky isn't blue
no running when the hard days start
just steady love and an open heart
[Chorus]
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
it's a flame
[Verse 3]
let the world change, let the seasons turn
we'll be the fire that continues to burn
not built on impulse, not built on romance
but on choice, on trust, on a second chance
[Chorus]
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
it's a flame
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
if storms come knocking at our door
we won't bend like we did before
hand in hand, we stand our ground
two souls, one sacred sound
[Chorus]
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
I'm not just here for the moment
I'm here for the years
through every triumph
every doubt, every tear
there's no turning back
once i say your name
forever's not a word
it's a flame
