The Essence Of Destiny Lyrics - Donny Hathaway

A feeling for you keeps on growing, 

I can feel it flowing all of the time, 

time is the essence of destiny 

of the things that are in your mind 

Problems we had are solved now 

whether it's good or bad 

Now, as I turn to you girl 

would it matter whatever we have 

you are the reason I'm living 

the reason for whatever I do 

and no one would have told me 

that you girl didn't even love me 

try to protect you and keep you 

give you a place in life 

better than the bottom of a can 

Wouldn't it make you so happy 

you didn't have to love me again 

no one else could capture you 

no longer lovers, just friends 

there's nothing else to discover 

we made a mistake, now we're through 

it's just a rearrangement of you 

Now I'm turning to you girl 

find out what else we could do 

but hasn't been done already? 

There's so many parts to you 

Pretty girl can't you realize? 

How could you not love what's yours 

Even if you're crazy 

was a reason I still love you and need you 

you are my reason for living 

the reason for whatever I do 

Nothing can take the place of you.
