The Essence of Destiny - Donny Hathaway

A feeling for you keeps on growing,

I can feel it flowing all of the time,

Time is the essence of destiny

Of the things that are in your mind

Problems we had are solved now

Whether it’s good or bad

Now, as I turn to you girl

Would it matter whatever we have

You are the reason I’m living

The reason for whatever I do

And no one would have told me

That you girl didn’t even love me

Try to protect you and keep you

Give you a place in life

Better than the bottom of a can

Wouldn’t it make you so happy

You didn’t have to love me again

No one else could capture you

No longer lovers, just friends

There’s nothing else to discover

We made a mistake, now we’re through

It’s just a rearrangement of you

Now I’m turning to you girl

Find out what else we could do

But hasn’t been done already?

There’s so many parts to you

Pretty girl can’t you realize?

How could you not love what’s yours

Even if you’re crazy

Was a reason I still love you and need you

You are my reason for living

The reason for whatever I do

Nothing can take the place of you.
