Vandross, Luther - It's Hard For Me To Say Lyrics






Didn't know 'til today
That you would love for me to say
All of things I feel
Though you don't doubt they're real
Insecure, very shy
Are the only reasons I have why
I never say the things that you would love to hear
All the words I try
Disappoint me and I cry
So they're words I don't always say, but
It's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart that loved you from the start
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard for me to say why
Kinda sad, kinda blue
Because I wanted to tell you
That you were in my heart
Though we were far apart
Didn't know how to say
All the little things to make you stay
And not to keep assuming
You could read my mind
You're the one I love
Though it's hard for you to know
'Cause the words I don't always say, but
It's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart that loved you from the start
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard for me to say why

    Luther Vandross sang it himself in album "Your Secret Love" in 1996.

    K.... ....

    And he wrote Love Don't Love You Anymore as well as singing it, for the late Gregory Hines in 1987 for his self titled album... I think!

    K.... ....

    ... Luther's Your Secret Love-1996 album too, I almost forgot!

  4. T.... B....

  16. A.... H....

    all my life I asked the lord to be loved for real by any one unconditionly mother, sister brother child ,or even a real man what did I do so wrong to keep searching for love in the wrong places,!!!

    A.... H....

    Arvay Hunter My heart is full, you're reading my mind. We share the same story

    A.... H....

    I know it's an old saying but love begins within, then it will come to you..

    A.... H....

    Arvay Hunter Me too, all I get from my children is "can you " or if you're not doing anything. As for a relationship, I've given up

    A.... H....

    Don't give up beautiful! Be patient 💓

  17. t.... ....

    Can some whizz kid not splice this together with Dianas version to make the duet it should have been ?

    How about someone NOT disturb/ splice Luther's version with Diana's. Luther stands ALONE!!

  18. M.... M....

    t.... r....

    trina robinson yes it does has a strong meaning

  21. D.... P....

    It's all in hiss voice, the spirit he posses in song, he is ONE of the best, and I had the pleasure of meeting " Luther Vandross " in 1982-83 at WGCI 107.5 in Chicago. I told him I loved him, and did/still do, but we all know he's gone, though his music is still and will be played, he owned stock, the V in V101, V103, all of V's stood for Vandross, after his death, they went with variety, I know, cause after several emails, back and forth, he downloaded records from 1961-2020. I am amazed at the body of work, that I have done, all my life. looking at this, WOW! Yep! I am the songwriter, of almost everything, in over 20 genres of music, I started at 2.

    D.... P....

    yes this song is from summer 1997!!! and Luther has been gone since 2005!!!nearly 12 years!!!

  22. O.... ....

    A masterful vocal performance of a wonderful song.

  23. T.... T....

    Love love love !!!!!

  24. b.... b....

    I rember being in love for the first time in my life ,listening to this song. Express your love,if you mean it.

  25. B.... H....

    His voice is so gentle

    B.... H....

    Bernice Huang it has this calming effect right

  26. s.... b....

    Loves Diana Version .....yet Luther Hit a Grand Slam with this!

  27. S.... S....

    he wrote this song for diana ross..and sings backup on her red hot rhythm and blues LP..1987, she now sings this song in all her latest concerts..sad she didnt when he was alive..he would have been so proud..luther adored diana ross too bad she did allow him to do the whole album ..i bet she regrets that now

    S.... S....

    Diana Ross was too proud in 1987 to honor Luther yet he loved her!
