I've done it, but not in one sitting.
With all my heart I love you, baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe
CHORUS
I'm in love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your
name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away,
it'll always be this way
Oh your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we`re feeling
Never leave `cause baby, I believe
CHORUS
In this love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your
name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away,
it'll always be this way
No stronger love in this world
Oh baby no, you`re my man, I`m your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this where you belong
Sweet, sweet and lovely baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, `cause baby, I believe
REPEAT CHORUS

As the person who originally played and created the piano part, (as well as co-wrote the song, uncredited), you did a good job. Captured the feel, bravo!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you for commenting on my version of your song. It's robust progressions are a true pleasure to play and have doubtlessly inspired and encouraged every keyboard player who has ever heard it.

[@equesfuscus]

As the person who originally played and created the piano part, you left a mark on a generation of people who had never heard anything like this before, never have since, and wish somehow they could learn to play like that. You put the piano back in the ears of this teenager back in the day, and I want to thank you for doing it. The world wouldn't be the same without this piano part on this song. You, Sir, added something to our culture.

[@equesfuscus]

I just re-read this comment from Sir Gant, and I gotta say: you've received some pretty high praise, Paul. You deserve it.

[@paulwwells]

Thank you :)

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

Well done, Sirgant! I read that Dick Griffey cheated Freeway Rick out of the $600K that he invested into The Songtress album. No one has ever had a good thing to say about Griffey or SOLAR Records.

[@equesfuscus]

I've never heard anyone incorporate such dynamic bass together with such sophisticated playing all at once on a keyboard. Most piano music is dynamic in the right hand, and octaves, maybe fifths and such, in the left. Sometimes, we even get some tenths in the left. But this - this is a totally different situation. Your family and neighbours must love living near you.

[@notingz]

15 yrs later and I still enjoy hearing you performing this piece 👍💯💯💯

[@joemc5341]

2019 and still obsessed with this cover❤️

Muito lindo

I don't understand who could dislike this?!

A pervert mind loves pervert music, like unclean chords, like music enimen does

[@Elwrt455]

This man's piano tutorials has taken the mystery out of my fav R&B/Soul classics.

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Ramon. I know exactly what you mean, this song is too mysterious to deconstruct, but when you reconstruct it then the mystery returns stronger.

[@Blackanvil15]

bro you just inspired me to come out of retirement and start playing again. ive been playing bass in bands and doing songs like this, but i started out playing piano. thanks heaps paul.

[@mandiehoward]

Thank you! When my first child was born he would react every time I played this. Anita Baker is fabulous. My husband sings this so nicely too! Lovely playing.

[@jimmoselhy9139]

This is an incredible song. I’m just blown away by the technical complexity of the keyboard component. There’s so much going on here, it’s no wonder when you add the richness of Anita’s voice let alone the amazing baseline and percussion that you have a truly masterpiece hit song.

[@paulwwells]

Thank you for commenting Jim. Yes - a masterpiece among very few in its category.

[@devonhieshmon6305]

​@@paulwwells what piano is that?

[@marradonnamusic]

my god utterly awesome, u r a serious pianist and i defy anyone who hears this not be so uplited and totally in love with this song, its a true masterpiece

[@Seanzilla]

I've had this video saved on my "Favorites" for many years now, and for good reason. It is so well executed and simply lovely to listen to. You do a wonderful job on adding in the voice notes as well, and all comes together as seamless as it could be. What does it for me, is the soothing chord progressions this piece demonstrates throughout. It is pleasing to not only the ears...but the soul as well. Great job, and thanks so much for sharing!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Sean. It is good to know that nearly ten years on this upload is still giving you pleasure. I have to say once again though, it really is the song which is doing all the work.

[@PhoenixToluwa]

This is a piano player i can feel in my essence you are feeling this as you play each note was very deliberate and beautiful

[@junbautista4182]

Paul your style and your arrangements are very unique and distinct. Please create more. I really enjoy listening and watching. Thank you!

[@arrell]

Hey Paul, appreciate you posting your transcriptions to your website as well.

[@paulwwells]

You are very welcome.

[@nooblet1837]

Damn! Now that's some sick piano skills you got there man. You have a very good rythm and timing.

[@zararity]

I've come to your channel from your Van der Graaf Generator 'Darkness' cover to find this, a cover of one of my many favourite songs. Your taste in music seems to be as wide as my own!

[@franklincampbell3002]

Wow! I have tears in my eyes. I love Anita Baker and this is the best I've ever heard on the keys. You're awesome man.

[@MarioEZugasti]

I keep coming back to this over and over and over!! I love this piano version and Im currently trying learn this peace. I was 9 when this song came out. Have loved it since then! ❤

[@paulwwells]

Thank you for your kind comment. I would be more than happy to teach this song to you.

[@mrsteama]

OMG!!!! The first :20 seconds of this video is EVERYTHING!!!! So talented you are!!! Still trying to get my son to play this!!!! I've watched it now at least 10 times!!! Thank you for this classic!!!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Charles. I am happy to answer specific questions if it will help get your son playing this.

[@lucchang]

i heard it maybe 14 years ago and was listening it many times as i adored the way you played it with emotion. Today it was proposed to me and i enjoyed it as always, Thank you

[@paulwwells]

Thank you for your comment, and your loyalty to this version. I've tried playing it again just now to see how well my brain cells remember :)

[@adlmf1976]

Incredible, you always listen to music and think it just comes out of the radio. This show how skillful you must be to produce these kinds of feelings. Great song and an even better performance! 6 stars!

[@viviennet6119]

I found it when I will cover this song using Piano too, thankyou for sharing Paul 🥰

[@taunishagreen]

Paul you play beautifully! Great job!

[@indigobeauty1]

BRAVO!!! keep blessing us with your talents. PEACE

[@justinchester0018]

Oh my god!!! i LOVE THIS SONG... i always listen to it everyday.

[@taliamarshall6438]

Best cover ever!!

[@WildWildWest30000]

I havent said this before coz i wasnt on my acc but dude u are incredible. Youve got a beautiful gift right there. Something about your playing that exceeds a normal cover, such a blessing to hear your gift. Love love love love!!! Please keep doing what you do coz you are bloody amazing!!!!!!! Wish i cud play like that :p

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Tara. All praise should go to the song though. Those chords were always there waiting to make a musical feast. I have put the same effort into other covers but none has the lift that this one has.

[@darkchild5]

Sounds amazing...soul bumps all over especially the bridge

[@jazzassin2150]

I like your Piano & Bass Style. You are really good.

[@sandrarodrigues9568]

Deus abençoe seu talento !

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Black Jack. I'll keep going. The TODO list is growing all the time.

[@wayne2k33]

Amazing!!! Wow and I love your tutorials. I love the full body of your arrangements... you can "feel" the orchestration the Anita's writers put into it. Piano master!!

[@jaymac4273]

Absolutely perfect. Great execution

[@LexFulgencio]

Hand work is 🔥 you owned this piano cover. Great Work

[@Nathanaelsun22]

Just so good..... I adore your song choices as well ...

[@kawasakisarge]

You my friend are sublime. I play this too but am humbled by your virtuoso performance

[@paulwwells]

Thank you - I still get pleasure from playing this song for my own amusement.

[@007darren]

repeat - amazing. seriously well played. I'm trying to learn it, but will never be as good as this...

[@vibendzone]

Stunning 5*s your talent is truly remarkable

[@TheWitchyM]

Absolutely beautiful, I find myself singing to this perfectly! Thanks for sharing your talent.....a breath of fresh air!

[@Jardonv]

You are sooo brilliant, im a vocalist and ive been practicing this song since i saw Beyonce do it live in Las Vegas. If i ever become a huge success im making you my pianist!!

[@vincypinto]

...bravissimo...per armonia,tempistica e soprattutto per la polifonia tra basso e mano destra!!BRAVOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@kat3978]

I absolutely love This! I would love to sit at the piano and sing this. Awesome job!

[@俊和三好]

素晴らしい‼️何度も聞いています😃。とてもかっこいい大好きな👌演奏です😆。

[@tazz625]

All I can say is...AWESOME!!!!!!! From the moving bass to the small parts that added life to the song. You have it all my man. Great job!!!

[@Frankly747]

Now this is what I call a piano solo; sweet, appealing even. Not all that eccentric jazz stuff with people playing random notes at lightning speed, showing off skill but lacking sweet appeal. Ahhh, I wish I could play like you !

[@cleggynet]

Fantastic performance Paul, your best by a country mile!!! I'm in awe at your skill and amazed at just how easy you make it look. Keep it up......!

[@pickzkickz]

I commented over 4 years ago and I must say this is still my favorite piano video!!

[@TianaGerman29]

I never forgot this cover!!!!! Use to play it all the time 😢💙

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Tiana. It is very kind of you to comment :)

[@andreasmoll_0924]

What makes this song so special. It's full of clean soul chords, non musicians nowadays don't know. The chord change at 1:20 in the original recording is remarkable

[@markasflood8196]

1:50

[@budgetpack]

Once again an excellent interpretation, with an impressive base line. Keep them coming, I find you work inspiring!

[@jet07son]

Agree , the base line in Paul’s songs are great

[@BADNTJD]

This is very good! Peaceful. I loved it.

[@msvee812]

that was awesome..and I love the fact how you got the picture of her at your right hand. Indeed.

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Matthew. I used to play this song back in the early 90s when I first heard it, but I polished it up again for making this vid.

[@marcusalexander2222]

Amazing piano work sir,if heaven had a height that song would be that tall...the rapture album is one of the greatest albums of all time...play on player

[@richardevans7035]

[@mzpreciouz86]

I was in awe...you actually killed it hun- WELL DONE! Very talented x

[@Mochahcntas]

This is so beautiful

[@cleggynet]

Checked out most of your tunes and this is without doubt the best by a country mile. Amazed at just how well you play in general though. Keep it up, you give a lot of people a lot of enjoyment you know...!

[@isaunders]

This is outstanding. I loved listening to Anita Baker in high school...many a make-out session this was the soundtrack. You are really good...hope you are making out with someone right now.

[@pickzkickz]

Wow! Very nice sir! Don't see many Anita Baker tutorials, thanks I enjoyed that!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you. I don't know when I started paying more attention to the bass lines. I do quite often listen to other piano players videos and think 'why are you just pumping out the tonic?'. I will try to include it at some point but I've made 3 videos in the last 12 months and trying to make the time to get back into it.

[@encendio7]

Man, reminds me of the radio station CD 101.9 Smooth Jazz. Great playing, keep putting up great stuff.

[@southernkeyz1]

great job u hit every lick as the original piece!

[@blakkandi]

This is great, It sounds so good !!!!!!!

[@mariomoyaproject]

SUPERB!!!! you are a masterpiano man!!!!

[@tiatia32]

I just lve this i learned to play it but i get goose bumps when i hear this thankyou for doin this your awesome!

[@funnyshizz123]

Paul I often drop by to listen to your stuff. Masterful expression and you always seem to choose tracks with really interesting chord progressions. It's a joy to watch your fingers work that magic. Cheers fella :)

[@PIDOPERSON]

congratulations from Chile. Rodolfo. i love the music.

[@DarkAnGeLl1993]

Simply Ammmmazzinggg KEEP PLAYING MUSIC LIKE THIS!! THe truth

[@daveynight]

All I can say is, after watching Anita Baker videos, ...wow! great work there :)

[@OdgeBrown]

I am probably personally responsible for 2,000 of the views on this video. I think this is undoubtedly the most justice this song will ever, ever get from any two hands. Incredible style, especially in the left hand.

[@TattedUpChick1]

One word....PERFECTION!!!

[@terrencewilliams5209]

Paul, there is another wonderful classic song in which the piano is a driving force ! That’s Natalie Cole’s “This Will Be” . That piano entrance is everything! Have you ever played or considered recording it? I enjoy playing it!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you Terrence. Yes - it's certainly a fitting choice. There is already an accurate cover by Nick Petrillo which I don't think I could better.

[@terrencewilliams5209]

@@paulwwells I’ve heard that version, it’s a bit of a deviation from the original score. It takes on a pop sway feel, instead of the hand clapping , church romp. Also you master the settings on that keyboard with these songs that’s second to none. Thanks a bunch for sharing your talent .

[@perfectoneness]

Beautiful and soul stirring. You are awesome man! I love your style and technique. A song can be a song but a pianist can make any song sound like a piece of heaven. You have that GIFT! Don't ever stop and I will continue looking to you as a role model my friend. Take care :)

[@datheat99]

Truly an amazing performance. I wish I could play like that.

[@buddy3602]

you are working this song boy!!! great job!!

[@raddicks1]

spot on! mega talent!!! nice one

[@LexFulgencio]

Paul you strike the keys with command. Such an inspiration to play. Keep it up and Thank You for the awesome video.

[@dancingmckay]

Beautiful, great feelin in your music!

[@Brettv495]

Lol Paul it was so much soul in those keys!!

[@paulwwells]

Thank you. I'm glad to receive comments on this video all these years after I recorded it.

[@nicks3799]

Love this Paul. I followed your tutorial and can play the chords - which by themselves sound fantastic - however, not a patch on this!

[@andymartin86]

Wow that was incredible. It sounds so alike to the real version. Wow!

[@pakmanishere]

good job bro i hope you putting these talents to work, simply awesome........Thanks for this.................

[@oyo2394]

this dude killed it!! i could just listen to this for hours. great job!

[@dmusic132]

I play the drums, i really love music but you really made me wanna learn play keyboard/piano just like you! I have seen many people play the piano but you really did it! :) Respect!

[@lilirarapop]

This is very sweet indeed

[@MasterBetaNYC]

I'm back for more... You're absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
