The Cross - Prince

Standing by the blinds Above the city lights A junkie for your touch Dressing up for the night The winter sky is clear Passing faceless silhouettes Counting wasted years Like burnt out cigarettes Where are you now? I have to carry the cross Where are you now? You're the greatest loss Falling like a flake In a snowstorm ball Where every little shake Makes a blizzard of it all Where are you now? I have to carry the cross Where are you now? You're the greatest loss

Only just a friend The love story begins Now here's a happy ending to believe in. You're always there for me Now you're with me in my dreams It's got me wondering if you ever Dream of me I don't wanna risk losing everything But I'll take the chance and tell you what I'm thinking Girl, you'll be my best friend Can we put this to bed then? Tonight's the night To cross the line Baby won't you be mine? Not just my homegirl Time that I take you home girl Tonight's the night To cross the line Let me love you tonight I... I... I... Kiss. Kiss. Kiss me on my lips We've been dancing 'round the moment Now we're doin' it Breathe. Breathe. And sigh your sweet relief We've been holding it so long The wait was killing me Oh and we are what we have been waiting for So baby, open your mind, while I close the door Oh girl, you'll be my best friend Can we put this to bed then? Tonight's the night To cross the line Baby won't you be mine? Not just my homegirl Time that I take you home girl Tonight's the night To cross the line Let me love you tonight I... I... I... Don't let this moment just slip away 'Cause we'll never know, unless we try someday If you're ready, I'm so ready Tonight's the night Tonight's the night Oh girl, you'll be my best friend Can we put this to bed then? Tonight's the night To cross the line Baby won't you be mine? Not just my homegirl Time that I take you home girl Tonight's the night To cross the line Let me love you tonight I... I... I...
