Sam Salter (born February 16, 1978) is a R&B Soul recording artist. He grew up singing gospel music at Faithful Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles. Growing up, Salter won several local talent shows, with a vocal style that was influenced by Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder.
In 1997, Salter had his chance in music when his demo tape found its way into the hands of L.A. Reid of LaFace Records. He quickly signed Salter, and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds began to work on his debut album, It's On Tonight. The album didn't become a huge hit, yet it yielded two hit R&B singles, the Top 20 single "After 12, Before 6" and the Top 40 ballad "There You Are."
In 2000, Little Black Book, Salter's second album for LaFace Records was expected to be released, yet label shuffling and problems led to the album's shelving. It yielded one single, "Once My Shit (Always My Shit)." An album track from the LP, "Color Of Love," was later given to Boyz II Men for their first Arista release, Full Circle and it became the lead single. Additionally, a track originally recorded for the album titled "Homewrecker" was later given to Sisqó, and included his Return of Dragon album .
Standing here, looking out the window from the 5th floor.
Watching you run to the car and put the keys in the door.
I know it maybe the last time that I see ya, cause baby I've been messing up (real bad)
Can't believe this about to end. I lost more than my girl, I lost my best friend.
We did everything. how I could let you just get up walk out and leave.
Somebody help me, cause I'm going crazy missing my baby
And this is what it sounds like when my heart cries.
Oh my god I had everything until I lost my baby
And this is what it sounds like when my heart cries.
Should of shown how much I loved her, and now it's too late
Baby, this is what it sounds like when my heart cries.
Girl I wish I could turn back the hand of time babe
Id take you back to the day I first time
Replace every single lie with nothing but the truth
Baby I miss you, baby I miss you
We did everything. how I could I just let you get up walk out and leave.
Somebody help me, cause I'm going crazy missing my baby
And this is what it sounds like when my heart cries.
Swear to god I had everything until I lost my baby
And this is what it sounds like when my heart cries.
I Should of shown how much I loved you, and maybe you'd still be here with me
