Tyrone Davis/Willie Clayton - "Be With Me"

Tyrone Davis sang amazing ballads and slow songs are definitely Willie Clayton's thing. Willie's done remakes on a lot of great songs on his recent CD - "The Tribute: One Man, One Voice" and Tyrone Davis' "Be With Me" is one of them. Tyrone would be proud; this is some beautiful music. Here is Tyrone's song and Willie Clayton's version (only 2.03 minutes, though). This is a definitely "get-you-in-the-mood song!!!"

You don’t have to be all by yourself
Girl why don’t you be with me
Cause I want you and nobody else
Girl why don’t you be with me

I can’t resist you
I feel the urge to kiss you girl
Let me feel the sweat of your caress
Girl why don’t you be with me
Wanna love you with thankfulness
Girl why don’t you be with me

Oh baby
There’s no ifs, ands, or maybe’s

(Raps/music)

I can’t resist you
I feel the urge to kiss you girl
Girl why don’t you be with me
Why don’t you be with me baby, baby, baby
Cause oh how I need you girl
And if I had your love
It would mean the whole wide world
Why don’t you be with me…
