Knowing that this time we have together is short and precious, a tale of love and openness, slow and tender “Don’t Let This Change” presents a woman communicating her gratitude to a special someone who has seen and heard her for who she truly is.
The Attica Blues vocalist has taken her power that dominated bass-heavy rhythms for years and tuned into her softer side that only loving and losing can create.
lyrics
Always you that comes to mind when I need insight,
Knowing me like you do
You’re the one I think to call, to share it all
To laugh and talk and cry and hold in silence
Please don’t let this change
Please don’t let this change
Cherish even the mundane, everything must change
Nothing promised, I treasure you
Knowing that you feel the same, reassured that I belong
You’re part of me
Find myself in you
Please don’t let this change
Please don’t let this change
I don’t want to be without you
Need you, I pray,
I pray you will stay
And never go away
Oh, please don’t let this change
Cold seasons come and go
The winters of fate
It’s always warm when you’re close
Stay
I don’t want to be here without you by my side
Want you near me
Here by my side
Please don’t let this change
Oh, don’t let this change
