Like Katie Melua, I am sure that not to many of you remember or know of a singer by the name of "Sade"... I selected her as a beautiful and talented female singer who uses the sounds of Bossa Nova to give her songs a little zip, so-to-speak...
I hope you enjoy it,
Kerry

LYRICS:
Sade - "Your Love Is King"
Your love is king, crown you in my heart
Your love is king, never need to part
Your kisses ring round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me, I'm crying out for more
Your love is king, crown you in my heart
Your love is king, you're the ruler of my heart
Your kisses ring round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
I'm crying out for more, your love is king
I'm coming on, I'm coming
You're making me dance inside
Your love is king, crown you in my heart
Your love is king, never need to part
Your kisses ring round and round and round my head
Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
Tearing the very heart of me, I'm crying out for more
Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
I'm crying out for more, your love is king
This is no blind faith, this is no sad or sorry dream
This is no blind faith, your love, your love is real
Gotta crown me with your heart (your love is king)
Never, never need to part (your love is king)
Oh, touch me (your love is king)
I'm (your love is king) coming
(Your love is king) making me dance
Written by: Stuart Matthewman, Helen Folasade (Sade) Adu
