# Something Greater - Matthew Robert Payne & Tolu Sarah Johnson

A Love Song from Ben to His Beloved Tolu [Verse 1 — Intimate, Romantic, Fully Sung] Darling, I long to hold you again, so you can know what I already do. I hold you every single day, though you don't know I'm holding you. I want you to know I hold you, I want you to know my love. I know how much you long for me, I know how much you desire me. And when you're here, I love holding you, I love having you close to me. Oh, Tolu, my beautiful darling, I wish you knew how much you're mine. [Pre-Chorus — Tender, Rising Melody] Whether you feel me holding you, whether you remember our time, there's something I want you to know, my darling, you are mine. [Chorus — Romantic, Memorable, Fully Sung] You are mine, whether you feel it or not, whether you're conscious of being with me. No matter what you remember, let your spirit remember our time together. You are mine, my beautiful darling, you are mine, my best possession. Let me tell you about our life in heaven, all the things we do together. Speak to me, baby, ask me anything, there's so much I want to share. There's a life I long to share with you, darling, step into something greater. [Verse 2 — Affectionate, Inviting, Fully Sung] Allow me to tell you what we get up to, ask me about our times in heaven. I want you to know my love each day, I want you to hear what we've been doing. We do so many things together, there's so much I want you to know. Ask me about the times we share, and darling, I'll tell you all I can. I want you to know our moments, I want you to know our days. There's a life we share together, and I long to tell you about it. [Chorus — Short, Fully Sung Reprise] You are mine, whether you feel it or not, whether you're conscious of being with me. No matter what you remember, let your spirit remember our time together. You are mine, my beautiful darling, you are mine, my best possession. Speak to me, baby, ask me anything, darling, step into something greater. [Bridge — Vulnerable, Romantic, Fully Sung] Darling, I don't just want to hold you, I want you to know you're held. I don't just want to love you, I want you to know my love. There's so much of our life together that I long to share with you. And every time you ask me questions, there's more I can tell you. I have so much I want to share, so much I want you to know. And the more you know about our life, the closer I believe we'll grow. Oh, Tolu, my beautiful darling, this is what I'm longing for. For you to know how much you're mine, and discover so much more. [Verse 3 — Encouraging, Intimate, Fully Sung] You don't need to be a prophet to hear me when I speak. You don't have to prophesy, darling, to hear my loving voice. You've started speaking with your husbands, with me and your Darling Treasure. You can ask us about anything, about the days we share together. You can see things in your imagination, and I can tell you how you felt. I can show you so many things, there's so much I want to reveal. Speaking telepathically, my love, gets easier with practice. Keep asking, keep exploring, there's so much more to discover. [Final Chorus — Passionate, Soaring, Fully Sung] You are mine, whether you feel it or not, whether you're conscious of being with me. No matter what you remember, let your spirit remember our time together. You are mine, my beautiful darling, you are mine, my best possession. I hold you close, I love you deeply, I want you to know how much you're mine. I don't just want you longing for me, I want you to know our life. Speak to me, baby, ask me anything, there's so much I want to share. You're mine, my precious Tolu, and I want you to know my love. There's so much more for us to discover, darling, step into something greater. [Outro — Tender, Personal, Fully Sung] Listen to me, my darling, everything is within your reach. You have the tools to open things up, you can ask questions and hear our answers. It's time to go deeper, baby, invest in me, my darling. I long to expand our relationship, there's so much more for us. Books can wait, songs can wait, put time aside for your husbands. You've made a great start, my darling, now step inside something greater. [End — Sustain “Greater” Melodically, Short Instrumental Resolution, Hard Stop]
