That’s All I Want from You (Singer: Aretha Franklin)
That's all, that's all I want from you
That's all, that's all I want from you
That's all, that's all I want from you
That's all, that's all I want from you
All I want is a little bit of love that slowly grows and grows, (slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes - that's all I want from you... (still!)
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky
A kiss, and no goodbyes, that's all I want from you...
Don't let me down, oh, show me that you care;
Remember when you give, you always get your share...
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste;
Tomorrow may not come (may not come!), when dreamers dream (may not come!) too late...
A little love that slowly grows and grows, (slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes, that's all I want from you...
Don't let me down! Show me that you care!
Remember when you give, you always get your share...
Don't let me down, I have no time to waste;
Tomorrow may not come... (may not come!) dreamers dream... (may not come!) late...
A little love that slowly grows and grows, (slowly, slowly...)
Not one that comes and goes - that's all I want from you... (still!)
Baby, that's all! (that's all, that's all i want from you...)
Baby! (that's all, that's all I want from you...)
(That's all, that's all I want from you...)
Ooh, baby! (that's all, that's all I want from you... Slowly, slowly...)

Wikipedia states:
"That's All I Want from You" is a popular song by Fritz Rotter (writing as "M. Rotha"), published in 1955.
The song was recorded by a number of artists, but became a major hit for Jaye P. Morgan, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard chart in the United States. The Silva-Tones re-charted the song in 1957, utilizing a somewhat bizarre arrangement blending rockabilly and doo-wop.
Some Recordings of the Song:
Jaye P. Morgan with Hugo Winterhalter's orchestra (recorded October 2, 1954, released by RCA Victor as catalog number 20-5896).
Dean Martin (recorded November 26, 1954).
Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1955 for use on his radio show and it was subsequently included in the box set The Bing Crosby CBS Radio Recordings.
Bobby Bare with Skeeter Davis (recorded 1965, album Tunes for Two).

Spirit in the Dark is the seventeenth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, released on August 24, 1970, by Atlantic Records. It received critical acclaim, but was met with middling sales, despite having two hit singles, "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)", which peaked at #1 R&B, #11 on the Hot 100, and "Spirit in the Dark", peaking at #3 R&B and #23 Hot 100, in Billboard magazine. It was Aretha's first Atlantic album to fall short of Billboard's Top 20, but it is now considered to be one of Aretha's classic Atlantic LPs.
Aretha Louise Franklin (March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018) was an American singer, songwriter and pianist. Referred to as the "Queen of Soul", she has twice been placed ninth in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". With global sales of over 75 million records, Franklin is one of the world's best-selling music artists.
As a child, Franklin was noticed for her gospel singing at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father C. L. Franklin was a minister. At the age of 18, she was signed as a recording artist for Columbia Records. While her career did not immediately flourish, Franklin found acclaim and commercial success once she signed with Atlantic Records in 1966. Hit songs such as "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)", "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "Chain of Fools", "Think", and "I Say a Little Prayer", propelled Franklin past her musical peers.
