Love - Lyrics - Teddy Pendergrass

Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass was an American R&B soul singer and songwriter. Pendergrass first rose to fame as lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in the 1970s before a successful solo career at the end of the decade. In 1982, he was severely injured in an auto accident in Philadelphia, resulting in his being paralyzed from the chest down. He subsequently founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance, a foundation that helps those with spinal cord injuries. Pendergrass commemorated 25 years of living after his spinal cord injury with star filled event, 'Teddy 25 - A Celebration of Life' at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center. His last performance was on a PBS special at Atlantic City's Borgata Casino in November 2008.

Love, I've waited all my life to find you I've searched for you in every dream And suddenly You reached out to me Oh love, I remember when I first touched you I remember how my heart had wings To said upon Tell me what went wrong Oh love, when you were just within my reach I was blind To find my dreams of being free Oh love, it's not too late for you and me There's still time As long as we believe Believe in love I thought that I could live without you I really thought that I was strong But now you're gone I'm not half as strong Oh love, I never knew how much I missed you I never knew I had to give to you To keep you hear Now, I need you here Oh love, when you were just within my reach I was blind To find my dreams of being free Oh love, it's not too late for you and me There's still time As long as we believe Believe in love I never knew how life could fade away A little bit more each day Without you I'm twice the fool Oh love, believe me when I say I'm sorry We've got to find a way to start all over 'Cause it's not over For me and you Oh love, you were just within my reach I was blind To find my dreams of being free Free, is just the way to say goodbye But I was wrong I really need you by my side Oh love, start to rain for you and me There is still time As long as we believe Leaving love, it start to rain for you and me Leaving love, as long as we believe Leaving love, it start to rain for you and me Leaving love
