Join me in celebrating the life of the divine Whitney...a voice for the ages! Come here to listen to her music, unfettered by blame and judgment. Come here to enjoy the beauty that was Whitney!
I know she and Bobby Brown had a daughter!!! I just don't know how old she is!!! That little girl has gone through hell to see her parents strung out, fighting, and now, her momma is gone......so sad!
Each day I live I want to be A day to give The best of me I'm only one But not alone My finest day Is yet unknown
I broke my heart Fought every gain To taste the sweet I face the pain I rise and fall Yet through it all This much remains
I want one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity
I've lived to be The very best I want it all No time for less I've laid the plans Now lay the chance Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime If you seize that one moment in time Make it shine
Give me one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will be I will be I will be free I will be I will be free
I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be Everybody searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfill my needs A lonely place to be So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:] I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
[Chorus]
And if by chance, that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love
i remember when she burst onto the music industry scene back in the mid 80's ~ i couldn't believe the power, control, and octave range in her voice... i was definitely wowed! she will be missed greatly...... great little tribute, sis!
I keep holding back the tears where I hear/read the articles. She was my gurrrrl growing up. I had all her 8 tracks (LOL). I looked up to her and her songs helped me through some very difficult times. So sad ... :::(
Her death coming now, when I'm feeling so vulnerable wht with my MIL being gone, and hubby going to bury her, is not helping much! Seems like I am being forced to reckon with the fragility of life, and with its ultimae impermanence, and my UTTER powerlessness to do anything to change what will be! :(

I heard about this a few minutes ago. Such a shame and so sad. May she rest in peace.
This makes me so sad. So beautiful and talented.
A very sad loss....
That was my favorite!!!! Will always be a tear jerking song
SHE Kicked ASS In this song, Auntie.......I still LOVE THIS ONE
I still can't believe this...she was only 4 yrs older than me and she's gone.....DAMN!!!
Didn't she have a daughter!? Wonder how old that baby is now?
Seems like I'm having to contemplate death a little more frequently than I might otherwise these days, Kata!
I dunno.
I know she and Bobby Brown had a daughter!!! I just don't know how old she is!!! That little girl has gone through hell to see her parents strung out, fighting, and now, her momma is gone......so sad!

"One Moment In Time"
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free
"Greatest Love Of All"
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
[Chorus]
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
