I took my Nokia N95 Phone to the Araneta Coliseum in Manila, October 13, 2007, to make sure that I take videos and pictures of my favorite musical artist of all time:  Kenneth / Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.  I was almost in tears when I heard him sing my favorite song of all time, “Everytime I Close My Eyes,” definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever.  Here’s the lyrics off my memory.  I guess I’ll have to sing this while writing down the lyrics.

Everytime I Close My Eyes
Babyface

Girl, It’s been a long, long time coming
But I, I know that it’s been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up its gates for me and you

And everytime I close my eyes I thank the Lord that I’ve got you
And you’ve got me too, babe
And everytime I think of it I pinch myself ‘coz I don’t believe it’s true
That someone like you loves me too

Ooh Girl, I know that you’re truly something
And you’re, you’re every bit of a dream come true
With you, babe, it never rains and it’s no wonder
The sun always shines when I’m near you
It’s such a blessing that I have found somebody like you girl
Ooh, girl

Coz everytime I close my eyes I thank the Lord that I’ve got you
And you’ve got me too, Babe
And everytime I think of it I pinch myself coz I don’t believe its true
That someone like you loves me too…

To think of all the nights I’ve cried myself to sleep (Yeah)
You really ought to know how much you mean to me
(Ad lib)
That you be in my life right here with me, ooh baby, baby (Yeah hee-yeh-heh)
Ooh.

Do-hoo do-hoo hoo
I tell you Girl that everytime I close my eyes I thank the Lord
I’ve got you, baby, and you’ve got me too, babe
And everytime I think of it I pinch myself coz I don’t believe it’s true
That someone like you (hooo) loves me too.
