lyrics

{Intro}
Lord, grant me the Serenity to,
Lord, grant me the Serenity too,
Except the things I cannot change,
Change the things I can, and the courage,
The wisdom to know the difference,
The wisdom to know the difference, yes, yes,

{Verse 1}
Here we are again,
Talking on the telephone,
Hope this conversation never ends,
I gotta be cool with being friends,
'Cause to want another man's woman is a sin,
I don't wanna be wrong,
But, if you were wrong too,
Would it be me and you?
Could it be me and you?

{Verse 2}
Another day has passed,
I had another dream,
Took another look at your photographs,
And I'm wanting you so, so bad,
See, if you were my lover,
Then every other man would feel like this brother had,
I don't wanna go home,
No, I can't leave you alone, oh no,
See, I like your light skin, skin tone, skin tone,
Lady, won't you come listen to my song?

{Chorus}
Serenity,
See, I've been waiting awhile for my peace,
I'll hide from all of my enemies,
There are no complaints when I'm layin' at your feet,
See, you are,
Serenity,

Sweet Serenity,

{Verse 3}
The end of the daylight,
It brings a funny thing,
See, no one else is in sight,
But please forgive me if I'm wasting all of your time,
I know I'm not worthy,
But mercy comes sometimes,
Are you looking for a change?
'Cause maybe that's why we're here on this day,

See, there's a reason for everything,

{Verse 4}
I'm tired of tryna find all the right lines,
They say you get a ring offering every year of your life,
But I ain't got no stones,
I'm broke, I can't afford carats,
But you and me could be the most beautiful marriage,
Take my "Invitation", we'll make "History",
This is all non-"Fiction", baby "Just You & Me",
You're my "Dream Come True",
Be no "Missin' You" "Tonight",
"One More Day" with my "Dreamgirl",
"Serenity", you're mine.
