Story Behind The Song
R&B is one of our favorite genres. I (Al) sat down one day while on a business trip and decided to write a classic R&B love song. When I got back home to our studio, is what I ended up.
Song Description
R&B love song about a man affirming his love for his woman. Very 1970's sounding. It's a medium-slow ballad with a sweet sax solo and soft backing tracks. The vocal is akin to the style of Al Green or a later Lou Rawls. Definitely dreamy and easy to listen to.

Lyrics
Yes I Do
© 2012 Alan D. David, BMI
(v1)
You asked if I still love you
If I still feel the same for you
As I did back when our love was new
When our skies were always blue
Well Honey, don't you worry
I still love you, yes I do
CHORUS
I'll always love you;
The way I did when our love was new
I still desire you, the flame is burning true
No need for you to wonder, cuz yes I do
(v2)
And yes, I still want you
I want to make love to you
I want to thrill you, the whole night through
See the fire in your eyes of blue
So Honey, don't you worry
I still want you, yes I do
Instrumental Chorus
(v3)
Yes I wanna hold you
Make you smile when you're blue
Keep the flame alive, make one from two
Just one love that's me and you
So Honey, please don't worry
I still need you, yes I do
REPEAT CHORUS
I'll always love you
The way I did when our love was new
I still desire you, the flame is burning true
No need for you to wonder, cuz yes I do
