    HEAVEN'S DOORS (tribute 2 Teena Marie:R.I.P)

    I was wandering through the darkness
    Asked the question why
    When I heard a mournful sound
    Similar 2 an Angel's Cry

    The wind spoke through the trees
    Don't ya know
    On an after Christmas day
    Whispering ever so softly
    Devine Lady T has passed away

    Now I'm not so sure, so sure
    What in life is truly pure
    Yet I believe in my heart
    Yes I do
    God has opened heaven's doors

    I met a PORTUGESE LOVE
    Kept my IRONS IN THE FIRE
    We moved seductively BEHIND THE GROOVE
    2 our FIRE AND DESIRE

    Heard they placed a memorial
    On an island by the sea
    The Rainbow Coloured people
    Have lost the Matriarch of their family

    Wish I had ALADDIN'S LAMP
    So I could relive feelings of YOUNG LOVE
    But I know her voice will always sing 2 me
    From heaven above

    Still,
    I'm not so sure, so sure
    What in life is truly pure
    Yet I believe in my heart
    Yes I do
    God has opened heaven's doors

    My heart once screamed 2 me
    I CAN'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE
    Smiling was a burden
    Laughter was a chore

    I asked Lady T
    When do YOU MAKE LOVE LIKE SPRINGTIME
    She said
    Everlasting love never ends
    Wish I could say I love you
    God bless your family and friends

    She once sang in OPUS III
    DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE
    The next day she had happy tears in her eyes
    Dancing with Rainbow Children in CONGO SQUARE

    LOVE CAN'T LAST A DAY
    A day
    A day
    Lady T has passed away
    Hear me Lord
    Will love last a day
    A day
    Now Lady T has passed away

    God spoke 2 me
    I've formed the mountains with mighty strength
    Only I know the length
    Of your time
    So make sure the love you believe
    Is conceived
    As a love sublime
    In the farthest corners of the earth
    My acts will startle everyone
    Teena Marie's majesty
    Will be heard forever by the babies of my sons
    In time I will furrow the waters
    Yes I will
    With an abundance of rain
    Allow you 2 shed grateful tears
    And take away all that pains

    And you will
    Be sure
    Be sure
    Be sure
    Love is truly pure
    Believe in your heart my son
    For Lady T
    I've opened my doors

    Oh my Father
    On my knees I shout
    THANK GOD
    THANK GOD
    THANK GOD
    THANK GOD

    Rest in peace Lady T
    You don't have 2 come back no more
