Lyrics The Essence of Destiny - Donny Hathaway

The Essence of Destiny

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.
