Step By Step

Al Jarreau

Step by step I'll follow you


Everywhere you roam, whoa


Step by step I'll follow through


Comin' to bring you home, whoa





I keep reachin' out for you


Wondering if I'm touchin' you


You say "Yeah"


But when it's on the line


you are nearly mine


Then you're off and gone


again, ooh





Chorus:


Lady be kind,


lady be mine


Lady divine,


I adore you


Give me a sign,


where is it goin' to


Will of the wisp,


maid of the mist


Forever and ever


waitin' for you


My name on a list


I never did this till you





Step by step I'm keepin' time


Lady it's runnin' low, whoa


Step by step just makin' time


And I want to make it grow,


whoa





There's a diamond in the sun


There's somebody for everyone


There's a movie that you know


that makes you smile


Love ain't everything


But girl we should try it


for a while





Chorus





My father told me it's okay


to be lonely


Just don't be taken for the fool


I sit here waitin' anticipatin'


I think I broke my daddy's rule





Let go and let it be ' cause


I can't bear to see


us lose the best we ever had





Chorus
