Trey Lorenz
Trey Lorenz (born Lloyd Lorenz Smith; January 19, 1969) is an American R&B singer-songwriter and record producer. He was born in Florence, South Carolina and is a graduate of Wilson High School. Lorenz is best known for his duet with recording artist Mariah Carey on "I'll Be There", a cover of the 1970 number-one Jackson 5 recording of the same name. The record topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles chart a second time in 1992 and earned Lorenz and Carey both a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

Rescue Me
by: Trey LorenzThis is from my hear right here [repeats]
I was up there flawless...
I was so confused
It felt just like my heart was closing
Ain't no sun to shine through
Everywhere I turned up my face there was disappointment
Cause I was trying on my way but no it's time to stop ask all direction
So I don't make the same mistakes
I'm going to some changes in my life
It ain't hard to see
It won't let her get the best of me
Down to my best life lie
And I need to survive so I
[Chorus:]
I'm calling on love to stop the rain
I'm calling on love to ease the pain
I'm calling on love to save the day
I'm gonna stand right here cause love is gonna rescue me
Rescue me
I'm gonna stand right here cause love is gonna rescue me
Love has got a way of healing
Completely everything
Together piece by piece
And in the most fragile times
I'm not easy to wait
But I have a plan to make a move
I got my own way
I'm going to some changes in my life
It ain't hard to see
It won't let her get the best of me
Down to my best life lie
And I need to survive so I
[Chorus]
If you are tired...
Say love come and rescue me
Please come and rescue me
If you are tired to cry and dry your eyes
Say love come and rescue me
Please come and rescue me
Cause only love can give you peace of mind
Say love come and rescue me
Please come and rescue me
And if you're gonna... this time
Say love come and rescue me
Please come and rescue me
