Two Occasions

About Two Occasions

"Two Occasions" is an R&B song written by Babyface, Darnell Bristol and Sid Johnson (who was the former manager for Babyface's early group, Manchild) [1]. It was produced by Babyface and L. A. Reid for The Deele's third studio album Eyes of a Stranger (1987). The ballad was released as the album's second single in December 1987. It's the only song on the album that features Babyface on lead vocals, which alternate between himself, Bristol, and Carlos "Satin" Greene throughout the course of the song. It has since been remade into a live version with added vocals from Babyface with all original vocals from The Deele intact; this version appeared on the 12" maxi single and also three years later on his album, A Closer Look. The Whispers cut a version of the song that appeared on their 1997 album Songbook : Volume One - The Songs of Babyface. The song and Babyface were later referenced by Mariah Carey in her 2005 hit song, "We Belong Together."The song is also sampled in the 2009 hit song "Want It, Need It" by Plies featuring Ashanti. It was also sampled in the song "I Still Love You" by Next on their Rated Next album. Rap/hip hop artist Charlie Manhattan released his version of "Two Occasions" in 2007, from his solo debut album The Manhattan Project. Faye Wong also covered the song in Cantonese, titled as "Miss You Night and Day" found in her 1992 album, Coming Home. more »

'Cause every time I close my eyes I think of you
No matter what the season is
I still love you with all my heart
I wanna be with you forever, wherever you are

Hey baby, easy, so real
Just for you, because I love you

A summer love is easy but it's just not enough
To satisfy emotions that are shared between us
A winter love is cozy but I need more
It just intensifies my want to have a love that endures

'Cause every time I close my eyes I think of you
No matter what the season is
I still love you with all my heart
I wanna be with you wherever you are

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right, only you

An autumn love is special at this time of the year
But when the leaves are gone does that love disappear
I never underestimate the new love of spring
But I'm glad to say in my heart, my love's lasting

'Cause every time I close my eyes I think of you baby
No matter what the season is
I still love you with all my heart
I wanna be with you wherever, wherever you are

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night, night and day
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right

I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night, night and day
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right so, make it right

'Cause every time I close my eyes I think of you
No matter what the season is
I still love you with all my heart
I wanna be with you forever, let's stay together

'Cause no matter what I do baby
I only think of you on two occasions
That's day and night and again night and day
I'd go for broke if I could be with you girl
Only you can make it right

Girl I, I only think of you each and every day
And I see I'm in love
If I could be with you girl
Only you can make it right
No matter what I do

Girl I only think of you on two occasions
Do you think of me?
I'd go for broke if I could be with you
Only you can make it right
