The Aaliyah Song

The Aaliyah Song by Boyz II Men

[Nate]:

Ooooooaaahh, ooohh yea

Oooooh, Aaliyah

Every once in awhile

I see her smile

It turns my day around

Girl with those eyes

Could stare through the lies

And see what your heart was saying

[Nate]

Think of Aaliyah

Laugh, don't cry

I know

She'd want it that way.. hey yea

When ya think of Aaliyah

Laugh, don't cry

I know

She'd want it that way
