There you are rose amongst the weeds Subtle as the summer breeze, you're perfectly seen A gift to me, you shine so brightly like a diamond in the sky And you're the reason why you opened up my eyes You're like a portrait or a picture painted very long ago A moment frozen in time immortalized in my mind Never lost a precious find a poetic silhouette for my eyes Fortunately you, you have me, I have you It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us It's fortunate that we, we have time, on our side Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be Can't imagine me, without the missing piece like a puzzle incomplete But together are a masterpiece, I used to dream And fantasize of you and I spending any time and now I'm so overjoyed That I have found the missing piece to my life If I could travel back in time for the creation of life I'm sure that what God did for me would have been this very thing Within you divine and supreme Fortunately you, you have me I have you It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us It's fortunate that we, we have time on our side Never take for granted, that we are so fortunate to be You're like an architect of sweetness A man whose never heard can hear the melodies Of your voice when you heart sings a song You have me I've got you It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us It's fortunate that we, we have time on our side Never take for granted that we are so fortunate to be Fortunately you, you have me, I have you It's fortunate for us, we have love love has us It's fortunate that we, we have time on our side Never take for granted that we are so fortunate to be You have me I've got you It's fortunate for us, we have love, love has us It's fortunate that we, we have time on our side Never take for granted that we are so fortunate to be
May sound corny but I got misty eyed when I first heard the song. It is such a beautiful song. I wish I heard more from this artist!!! You just don't hear good songs like this anymore.
I remember the first time I saw this video, my mind was blown!. Seeing Tamela Jones as beautiful as she is here, had never seen that before. I was used to seeing her on the show with Bill Cosby, and while she was attractive, she didn't come anywhere close to how she appears here. Like I said, I was blown away! This song is so beautiful! In a time where black music seems to be running away from speaking on LOVE, this song was/is so refreshing to here. Big ups to Lathun for this song:)
i play this song everyday , a true testament of love - so fortunate ''' never get tired of this song , this is a song that jus evokes this feeling of joy whenever i hear it '''
Met a baby yesterday (on Halloween) named Lathan and this song popped right in my head! Haven't heard or thought about this song in years...lol! I am so glad that I did....
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR YEAAAAAARRRRS ! I fell in love with it back in the day! I remember watching BET's top 100 videos of the year & i never saw it ! I could never think of the name of it I just remembered the lady turning over the hour glass lol. THANK U THANK U THANK U for posting this ! ! This has made my night =)
Have Mercy! THank you 6lb 8oz baby Jesus that somebody found this! this is a truly amazing song. Lyrically and visually beautiful. ~You're like an architech of sweetness, a man whos never heard, could hear the melodies in your voice when your heart sings this song~ beginning at 2:45
I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this song!!!!! I had to be like 13 or 14 when I first heard this song... Now at 25 I've FINALLY found it!!!! And I STILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need more music like THIS!!!!
never saw an artist do both ends of the spectrum so well..this & freak it couldnt be more different but they both go in! & both have stood the test of time
I listened to this song for the first time on this past Wed. (10/2), my brother's birthday who was killed last year. How fitting to find a song that I fell head over heels about. I searched for it the next day and was thrilled to find it--an amazing song about the awesome power of love, whether it be between lovers or family. I had my brother and he had me and we were fortunate to have each other and we took it for granted. I miss him and love him and this will forever be his birthday song!
very very nice guy. i met him back in Beaumont texas when this album dropped. my cousin worked at the radio station magic 102.5 and he came for a show. he sung this for me while he played his guitar personally afterwards. he sounds exactly the same in person. i was young & didnt keep in touch with him. i wonder what hes been up to
This song made such an impact on me. I heard it one time years ago and ahve never forgotten it. I've spent the last 4 months or so trying to find it and I'm reminded of why I fell in love with it way back then!
His ROSE Amongst The Weeds, His DIAMOND In The Sky....FORTUNATE 4 You, You Have Me, I Have You FORTUNATE 4 US, WE Have LOVE, LOVE Has US, FORTUNATE That WE Have TIME On Our Side - NEVER Take 4 Granted = AMEN
I feel a deep sense of gratitude whenever I listen to this that I can't help but tear. Very lucky to have known this song growing up. Wish there were more like it these days
