Anita Baker

FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE KNOW WHAT HEARTACHE IS AND WE FELL THE PAIN THE WORLD CAN SOMETIMES BRING

FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE CRY IN THE NIGHT. WITHOUT A SINGLE SONG TO SING

BUT ONE DAY ALL WILL CHANGE. THEY'LL BE NO MORE STORMY RAIN. THEN AT LAST

WE WILL REST FOREVER MORE

SO IF YOU'RE IN THE GARDEN. AND LIFE SEEMS SO UNKIND. AND IF YOUR TEARS KEEP FALLING----

FROM YOUR TIRED EYES. WHEN BURDENS SEEM SO HEAVY--OH YEAH AND IT'S HARD TO

SMILE----- YOU BETTER REMEMBER . IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE

For A LITTLE WHILE YOU LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE. AND YOU MISS THE TIMES

TOGETHER YOU ONCE SHARED. FOR A LITTLE WHILE YOU SEEM ALL ALONE AND SCARED

WITH NO ONE THERE TO HOLD. OH THE NIGHTS GET LONG AND COLD. BUT IT WON'T LAST

IT WILL PASS IN TIME. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE THE VALLEY. AND LIFE SEEMS SO UNKIND

AND IF YOUR TEARS KEEP FALLING-----. FROM YOUR TIRED EYES. YOUR BURDEN SEEMS SO HEAVE

AND IT'S HARD TO SMILE. OH YOU BETTER REMEMBER IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE

OOOOHH,OOHH... LA,LA,LA, LA, LA.... YOU BETTER REMEMBER IT'S ONLY FORA WHILE. OH YEAS REMEMEBR IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE....FADE.....

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
