  • I believe in you and me
    I believe that we will be
    In love eternally
    As far as I can see
    You will always be the one
    For me
    Oh, yes, you will
    I believe in dreams again
    I believe that love will never end
    And like the river finds the sea
    I was lost
    Now I'm free
    I believe in you and me
    I will never leave your side
    I will never hurt your pride
    When all the chips are down
    I will always be around
    Just to be right where you are
    My love
    Oh, I love you, girl
    I will never leave you out
    I will always let you in
    To places no one's ever been
    Deep inside
    Can't you see
    I believe in you and me
    Maybe I'm a fool
    To feel the way I do
    But I would play the fool forever
    Just to be with you forever
    I believe in miracles
    Love's a miracle
    And, baby, you're a dream come true
    I was lost
    Now I'm free, girl
    I believe in you and me
    I was lost
    Now I'm free, girl
    I believe in you and me

    I saw the Tops do this live at the Fox Theater here in Motown. Levi cleared the stage, toweled himself off, sat on a stool, and started singing. And about halfway into the song, the lights come on, and out comes the rest of the Tops singing in harmony. BEAUTIFUL!

      I've mentioned the same thing on some of their other videos. He could sing notes that even second tenors couldn't reach. One of the strongest and most recognizable voices in the history of popular and soul music. No one before or since has been able to duplicate what he could do.

    Not only is this a gorgeous song, which a friend of mine had for the first dance at her wedding, but absolutely no one could sing it like Levi Stubbs. He was amazing and I was fortunate enough to hear him sing this song and others one time at Radio City in New York. I was upset to hear about his stroke and even more upset when he passed on. God rest his soul. A wonderful light went out when he died but we still have his wonderful voice to listen to, and this song was his best ever.

    Definitely THE version to listen to. Levi was the best ever male soul singer and is surely missed. I never get tired listening to this beautiful song.

    This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it. I know that I will feel the feelings conveyed in this song for my spouse, and will gladly sing it to him when we take our vows, and then daily for the rest of my life because that's what love is really all about!

    For me this song is dedicated to God and a man's undying Love for his woman. Maybe that is too much, but that is how I see it❤️

    First, this is simply the greatest love song ever written! Second, no other group (male or female) can compare to The Four Tops' tight harmonies. Last, Levi Stubbs was the best male singer that ever recorded on the Motown label!!!
