Baker, Anita - Mystery Lyrics






Turning back the hands of time
Holding on to misty memories
Chasing shadows throught the night
Trying to find my happy ending

Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We could still find a way if we try

[CHORUS:]
Baby, believe in the myster
Like it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
I can remember the sun inside
Love held us tight
I need to feel your magic in my heart
Instead of it tearing apart

Diamonds shining in the night
Lying soft and warm together
Only images survive
Can't my dreams go on forever

Oh there's still time to lock away your sadness
Let the secrets of love start to smile

[CHORUS:]
Baby believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days, all the love we made
Can't you see in me your magic here tonight

Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind
It's a silent song that's never meant to be
Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends
We could find forever if we let love rise again

Tell me shy can't we reach for another chance at heaven
We can still find the way if you try

[CHORUS:]
Baby believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days, all the love we made
I need to feel your magic here tonight

    This song touches my soul. It's like a summer night with the thunderstorm in the air. Or a summer night sitting by the water listening to the waves and watching the moon reflection on the water.

  23. J.... R....

    She is one of the best to do it. This generation now will never know real music. They think Beyonce is the best. Beyonce cant hold a candle next to Anita Baker voice and style

  24. N.... S....

  39. v.... d....

    I haven’t heard since I was 5. Ignoring to play but from today’s crippling music this is magical.😘

  40. L.... R....

    It's a mystery....even I can't believe it.😄😍

  41. J.... N....

    Manhattan Transfer version is better. Anita’s is good, but Janis’ version is more soulful and smoky — and she has 3 of the best backup singers to layer silky harmonies.

  42. L.... J....

    Ainta Baker the songstress❤

  43. M.... ....

    It's almost criminal for any person to sound this damn good. This NEVER gets old!!! Singers Of Today, Take notes!!

  44. I.... ....

    Anita Anita you are truly the master songstress, your voice is amazzzzzinggg!!

  45. L.... B....

    Manhattan Transfer did a nice rendition of this song too...

  46. L.... B....

    One of my favorite songs ❤

  47. G.... T....

    Wait, this isn't Tony hawk pro skater 2...

  55. C.... V....

    Have love Anita for many years. Just saw her in her farewell tour this past summer. What a show. Amazing.

  56. D.... W....

    *Love me some Baker*

  57. p.... w....

    No r&b singer can sing like this in 2019 facts test me

  58. p.... w....

    Sex music for grown folks

  59. M.... M....

    What an 80's feel track.
    Some clever that is gonna say 91 or something.

  60. P.... N....

    I love me some Anita Baker.

  61. I.... A....

    Love these songs

  62. d.... .....

    Sarah Vaughn and Anita sound similar i love them both!

    d.... .....

    Sarah Vaughan was Queen Anita's idol when she was growing up as a teenager. She studied her and and singing style. Both ladies sing contralto, so it was a natural affection of Anita for her.

  63. H.... R....

    Bumping in 2019

    H.... R....

    great minds

  64. J.... S....

    Anita just absolutely nailed this cover. Simply a brilliant vocal masterpiece! So smooth and soulful! Also, the best bass intro in a song I have ever heard!!!

    Anita! Living Legend####

    "The Songstress"
    Queen of Smooth Jazz
    Queen of Quiet Storm

  65. C.... V....

    I have loved Anita baker for many years have seen her twice in concert. Saw her farewell tour summer of 2018. It just never gets old. Her music will go on forever. The voice of an angel.

  66. D.... M....

    So many good memories from this song , i miss the good ol days 😭

  67. P.... N....

    NO WORDS.........🐐

  68. C.... C....

    Her label at the time (Elektra Entertainment) should have gone on and released this as a single back in 1986. I guarantee you that this song would have been a top 10 hit if not an across the board number 1 on both the hot 100 and R&B/Black singles charts.

  69. R.... M....

    Anita Baker at the height of her amazing powers.

    R.... M....

    This woman has got PIPES!   And her voice is oh so sultry.   This is one of my favorite songs.   Period!

  70. Q.... U....

    That Bass...That Bass...THAT BASS!!!

  71. L.... ....

    I knew I'd fine all they Ladies here, glad I stopped by.

  72. L.... D....

    her voice is Memorizing 90s bby

  73. M.... ....

    No one is mentioning this killer bass line?! Who the hell is playing the bass on this track, anyone?

    M.... ....

    Other than Queen Anita's magnificent vocals, that bass is killer!!

    M.... ....

    I have the "Rapture" album and the liner notes have David B. Washington as bass player on this track, as well as on "Watch Your Step" and "Caught Up In The Rapture". There were some great bass players on this album.
