CeCe Peniston

Songwriter: Brandon Barnes Brian McKnight

I've been thinking, have you been thinking
Feels like I'm falling, and I need to know
Have you been wishing, all the things that
I've been wishing

Cause if it's true, baby what do we do
Cause I've never been in love before
So hold on tight to me never let me go
Cause I wanna give you the biggest part of me
You will always be, you will always be
Forever in my heart...

I've been waiting, anticipating you in my arms
I need you close to me
When I looked into your eyes
I knew right then and there

I found what I've been searching for
Nobody but you could make me feel the way I do

Cause I wanna give you control of my heart
Lead me to your love, I knew it right from the start
Cause I wanna make you the biggest part of me
You will always be, you will always be
Forever in my heart...

Know for sure, that our love will endure, but
It's hard for me to find the words to say
I'm living to please you more
You're everything I've been searching for
I'm gonna make you the biggest part of me

CeCe Peniston is an R&B and dance singer/songwriter known for her international ‘90s pop hit “Finally.” The Phoenix, Arizona native got her start doing demos and background vocals for rapper Overweight Pooch. Though she didn’t have a lot of time to work on her debut album Finally, it still yielded multiple hit singles like “Keep On Walkin,” “We Got a Love Thang,” and the sentimental soul ballad “Inside That I Cried” that landed in the Top 20 Billboard charts in Pop, Dance and/or R&B categories.

For her 1994 follow-up, Thought Ya Knew, CeCe forged into more R&B territory with the Soulshock & Karlin-produced lead single “I’m In The Mood”. The album also yielded the hit singles “I’m Not Over You” and “Hit By Love”.

Label shake-ups affected the success of her third album I’m Movin' On, but the singles “Movin' On” and her remake of Jocelyn Brown’s dance classic “Somebody Else’s Guy” still made impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
