ONLY A DATE written by Sheldon Manoo (2000)


Could this be the moment;
That I been waiting for,
            All my life?
Since I’ve known myself,
I’ve longed for nothing more
            But love!
And as I see you, walking so gracefully
I long to hold you, in my heart tenderly
Maybe forever,
We’ll last with no deceptions!
But this is only a date
I have my faith!

Would I do things right?
Would I say the words you long to hear tonight?
And make you blush, and make you smile!
And make you want my presence for a while!
I can’t believe it! Such a perfect girl!
Said she’d go with me to a place in this world!
I could fall in love and I could fall so strong!
How I pray to God that nothing would go wrong!
God let nothing go wrong!

SPOKEN:       “I’m so nervous
                        As I put on my coat
                        Standing in front this mirror
                        Hoping everything’s in place
                        I don’t want to make a fool of myself
                        I don’t want to make any mistake
                        I don’t want my words to get muffled or mixed up
                        I pray that this be a perfect date
                        I’m so exited
                        Please Dear Lord guide me through this!”

Could this be the woman,
That I been holding tight;
            In my arms?
Since I been dreaming
Nothing else was right
\           but her!
Though I can’t remember, The look of the face
Cause for a dreamer, It’s such a different place
But with dreams
You can wake up with no one there!
But this is only a date!
I hold my faith!
My faith in love!

(SOLO)

Ever since I’ve known myself I
I want to be so much in love
And I know all the things I’d do
I’d do anything to be so true
And I pray that she would be the same
I’d run to her when she calls my name
But every time I tried in the past
I t seems that nothing could last
And now that I’ve got this chance
I’m hoping it leads to romance
For I know I’m a deserving guy
She won’t cry or hear a lie
I’ll be there for her as a friend
And a lover on whom she can depend
But this is only a date
And I’m just here with faith
My faith for love woh!

Could this be the magic,
That I been praying on;
            So so hard?
I been thinking of
A place where I’ll belong
            To a lover!
Who would trust me, And never let me down
She’d believe in me, Together we’d be one!
And anywhere
We’d always shine our love light!
But this is only a date!
I got my faith!

That this would be the moment
That she been dreaming of
            For love!
That I’d be the boy,
Who’d be just right enough;
            For her soul!
Though this is only a date!
Maybe, she too, has,  her,  faaaaaaaaaaaaith!
