  • I got your letter from the postman just the other day
    And so I decided to write you this song
    Just to let you know, exactly the way I feel
    To let you know my love's so real
    Because I love you, I'll do anything
    I'll give you my heart, my everything
    Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
    To be a light, to be your guide

    If you should feel that I don't really care
    And that you're starting to lose ground
    Let me reassure you that you can count on me
    And that I'll always be around
    Because I love you, my heart's an open door
    So won't you please come on in
    Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
    To be a light, to be your guide Writer/s: Anoo Bhagavan, Jonas Von Der Burg, Niclas Von Der Burg

  • Angelahopemusic from Los AngelesI love this song! But one day I was with a friend at Los Angeles sushi restaurant Teru Sushi and was with Vanessa Williams' "The Right Stuff" producer Rex Salas. Stevie B walked over and introduced himself. Crazy!!
  • Shandroise De Laeken from Davao City, PhilippinesI love this song (as well as other ballads of his - Dream about you and Waiting for your love, which are very famous here in Philippines). I love the instrumental as it is sounds "haunting", and the lyrics makes me want a guy sing this to me though I've never broken a heart in my life so far (& will never do such an odious thing, haha!) This is one of the songs which will never be deleted in my phone's music player. (08-12-2015)
  • David from OrlandoAs much as I enjoy Stevie B's uptempo hits from back in the day (i.e. Spring Love, I Wanna Be The One, Dreaming of Love) this song gives the singer-songwriter an opportunity to showcase his soulful, sensitive side that was frequently absent throughout his career. Not only was Stevie B able to write or co-write much of his own material, he had his share of hits in a genre that produced many one-hit wonders. Contrary to the ballad note above, freestyle artists started having hit ballads in the late '80s rather than early '90s (i.e. Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam with "All Cried Out"; Expose with "Seasons Change"). A key factor in my personal enjoyment of freestyle was having the deejays play the records at the roller skating rink (some still do during old school sessions). I would love it if more dance music these days could be understood from a lyrical standpoint and offer the best of both worlds - catchy and meaningful - as they did during eras such as freestyle. Ballads on the other hand are timeless and usually welcome, regardless of the artists' history.
  • Pennell from Kansas City, MoI'm shocked nobody has posted a thing on this wonderful, melancholy, driven to tears type of song...
