The Tale Of Dirty Diana (Complete)

Are You The Father?

May 4th 1989 1444 Moraga Dr Los Angeles California 3:00 p.m.

Michael and I were in the studio working on the song he wanted me to record. I loved the melody and the song in its entirety and I was super excited to record it.

"Alright you two let's take it from the top." Quincy says as Michael and I are facing each other in the booth.

Each time the wind blows
I hear your voice so
I call your name

Whispers at morning
Our love is dawning
Heaven's glad you came

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I'm so proud to say
I love you

Your love's got me high
I long to get by
This time is forever
Love is the answer

Michael begun the song his voice was so warm and each line he sung felt like it was personal to me.

I hear your voice now
You are my choice now
The love you bring
Heaven's in my heart
At your call I hear harps,
And angels sing

You know how I feel
This thing can't go wrong
I can't live my life without you...

I looked down at my lyrics sheet making sure I didn't miss a word or a note. We have been recording all morning as the first few times I was a little nervous.

But I listen to Michael and just put my all into it and reallt felt the words that he wrote.

[Michael:]
I just can't hold on

[Lilibeth:]
I feel we belong

[Michael:]
My life ain't worth living
If I can't be with you

[Both:]
I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do

The song was called I just can't stop loving you and it rung true for Michael and I. After everything we been through growing up there's nothing to ever make me stop loving him.

[Lilibeth:]
'Cause I just can't stop loving you

[Michael:]
At night when the stars shine
I pray in you I'll find
A love so true

[Lilibeth:]
When morning awakes me
Will you come and take me
I'll wait for you

[Michael:]
You know how I feel
I won't stop until
I hear your voice saying,
"I do."

[Lilibeth:]
"I do."
This thing can't go wrong

[Michael:]
This feeling's so strong

[Lilibeth:]
Well, my life ain't worth living

[Both:]
If I can't be with you

I just can't stop loving you
I just can't stop loving you
And if I stop
Then tell me just what will I do

[Michael:]
I just can't stop loving you

[Lilibeth:]
We can change all the world tomorrow

[Michael:]
We can sing songs of yesterday

[Lilibeth:]
I can say, hey farewell to sorrow

[Michael:]
This is my life and I
