Lost to Love Lyrics

I don't wanna waste your precious time
So if I keep talking, baby, you can know my mind
'Cause I got a heart disease that only you can cure
So cast you magic on the water, baby, and make this ocean pure

Ooh, when ever I sensed danger in the company of strangers
I have to find the courage enough to go
I gotta glue myself together, rise above the stormy weather
We defined this parting pleasure 'cause, baby, don't you know?

I've been lost in love
I've been lost in love
Oh yeah, lost in love
Baby, my, my baby, it's been much too long

Baby, I've been searching for a sympathetic soul
To fill my world with healing, yes, to make this good man whole
Once upon a time, long ago and far away, happiness wasn't mine
Though I prayed, it did not stay, did not stay

But still I won't surrender 'cause my heart still remembers
The memory so tender love would greet
So I ain't accepting never, 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing

Lost in love
I've been lost in love, baby
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh, yes

So I ain't accepting never 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh yeah

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long

Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long

Lost in love

At thirteen, Jonathan's talents caught the ears and eyes of British record producer Clive Caulder. He was signed to Caulder's Jive Records and as the old cliche goes, the rest is history.

Jonathan's first single broke down racial barriers, becoming the first song by a black artist to be played by white radio stations in South Africa. Because Jive was headquartered in England, Jonathan decided to move there to focus on his recording career. His commitment to his craft paid off with his self-titled debut album, which received a Grammy nomination for the pop hit "Lies."

Jonathan's ability to blend his roots in African music with western pop sensibilities would be a trademark of many albums to follow, though never more refined than in his latest release.

For example, the first single from Jonathan is a rendition of the folk-rock classic "Fire and Rain." Butler breathes new life into this classic, infusing the vocals with intensity, as subtle as it is powerful. The musical arrangement is lively and soulful, indicative of his roots in World music. "Fire and Rain" is already garnering accolades from top radio programmers. Lori Lewis, program director for WSMJ in Baltimore states, "It literally gave me a lump in my throat. I walked into the studio and introduced it live on air. Vocals this great are really rare."
