Don't need a rolex or a limousine
Don't need my picture in a magazine
Don't need approval of a chosen few
Tell you what I do need, I need you
Don't need no fixtures, fittings, or phone
I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own
I don't need reminding when the rent is due
I tell you what I do need, I need you
I need you like a fly needs a plane
I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a pool needs a cue
Need you, need you, need you, I need you
I don't need no covered kisses for company
I don't want no washed up dishes soft soaping me
I don't need no other fella, honey I refuse
Tell you what I do need, I need you
Oh, I need you like a fly needs a plane
Oh, I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a shot needs to shoot
Need you, need you, need you, I need you
Need you, need you, need you, I need you
Need you, need you, need you, I need you
If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist
Blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to me
If you were on my mind both night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart
One of these mornings
I'm going away
Any day now
I'm going to Heaven to stay
I don't know how soon
Maybe morning, night or noon
But I'm going to see the Father
And by His side to stand
There'll be no sorrow, no sadness
Just only complete gladness
But any day now, I know that I
Know that I am going home
Then I'll shout Hallelujah
And give praises to His name
Pray any day now, I know that I
There's a new girl in my neighborhood
She's a sweet little thing, she looks real good
She gets everybody's attention around
They call her, 'Sweet little mama'
All the boys wink when they see her
Even the girls smile when they meet her
Everybody's trying to be first
To hold sweet little mama
She got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile
But the minute you get too close
She bursts out with a loud, loud cry
Stop by my house and you can't miss her
This little girl is my little sister
She's about 9 days old
They call her, 'Sweet little mama'
Say, she got a certain secret in her smile
That makes you wanna stay awhile
The minute you get too close
She bursts out with a loud, loud cry
Stop by my house, you can't miss her
This little girl is my little sister
Well, she's about 9 days old
Twas the night before christmas all white with snow
I was lying back waiting for my baby to show
I was searching my mind for the right things to say
'cause she had to leave the very next day
When out on the driveway I heard such a clatter
I dimmed all the lights and put on clyde mcphatter
And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss
And the rest of the night went something like this.....
It was a night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
The moon was bright
Oo how bright it was, it really was
Such a night
The night was alive
With the stars above
Oo when she kissed
I had to fall in love.
Oo it was a kiss
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
How she could kiss!
Oo what a kiss it was, it really was
Such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I reminisce, I'm filled with desire.
And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)
Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)
I'll always remember...(doo wah, doo wah)
Oo that night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn
And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss
Oo such a night
And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)
Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)
I'll always remember (doo wah, doo wah)
Oo that night
Oo what a night it was, it really was
Such a night
Came the dawn
And my heart and her love and the night were gone
But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
Oo such a kiss
Oo such a night
Well it's now christmas morning and my baby's gone
So I light up the tree and turn the radio on
I sit down in my chair and let out a sigh
I sang away in a manager and angels on high
Now my family and friends will soon knock on my door
So I'll say merry christmas to you and to yours
May your days be cheerful and your burdens be light
Oh but mostly I wish everyone such a night
Now she's gone, gone, gone
Yeah she's gone, gone, gone
And the dawn, dawn, dawn
And the night was gone
And my heart was gone
And her love was gone
And before the dawn
Oh oh oh
There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the Queen of Heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
But there were sorrows to be healed
And mercy, mercy in this world
So many hearts I find broken like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you?
Like Bernadette would do
We've been around we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then, we try
To mend the damage that we've done
Tonight, tonight I cannot rest
I've got this joy inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find broken like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just wanna hold you, come on let me hold you?
Like Bernadette would do
I just wanna hold you, won't you let me hold you?
This is my story, I have no song
Just alone and broken hearted
Just because I fell in love
In love with you
I pray that you'll come back to me
Just to hear you say you love me
And we'll never, ever part
Part from you
Dooba, da do , da do, da do
Dooba, dooba, dooba,
Dooba, da do, da do, da do
Dooba, dooba, dooba
Dooba, da do, da do, da do
Dooba, dooba ,dooba do
Da do, da do, da do
You pray that I'll come back to you
Yes, darling, I love you
And we'll never, ever part
No we'll never, ever part
No we'll never , ever part
No we'll never, ever part
You're mine, and we belong together
Yes, we belong together
For etern, eternity
Eternity
You're mine, your kiss belongs to me
Yes, it belongs to only me
For etern, eternity
Etern, eternity
You're mine, my baby
May you always be
I love you so
I love you so much
Well, I'm gonna give you everything I own
And I'll always ( always), always (always), love you
Whoa, I know, I know you're mine
An we belong together
Yes we belong together
For etern, eternity
Forever my darling, our love will be true
Always and forever, I'll love only you
Just promise me darling, your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways
My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal
I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
( brooks / brooks / butler )
For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
Darling, I'm so surprised,
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
Darling, they say that our love won't grow
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me
Our love will grow wider, deeper than any sea
And all the things in the world, in this whole wide world
Is just that you would say that you'd be my girl
( wanting you ) wanting you, ( I'm lonely and blue ) whoa, lonely
That's what love will do
For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when i, I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue

Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine ?
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Love you forever, and ever more
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your love, loveliness
I hope and I pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happy, happiness
Oh earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear, love you all the time
I'm just a fool,a fool in love with you
I fell for you and I knew
The vision of your loveliness
I hope and pray that someday
I'll be the vision of your happiness
Earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear love you all the time
Sometimes we need to start again
When this crazy life of ours is slow
And I guess that's why fools like us rush in
Where wise men never never go
In time we may find out why
These walls we build seem so high
But I've gotta believe that we can break through
And I gotta believe this love is good for me and you
And all we have to do to make it last, oh yeah
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove is try a little harder, try a little harder
You're the wildfire in my life
Always burning out of my control
Sometimes you cut me like a knife
Deep into my heart
Way down to my soul
But somehow we survive
And we get another chance to make it right
But I gotta believe that we know which path to choose
And I gotta believe that somehow we will see it through
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
Each precious moment that we share
Is locked up in my heart forever more
I just need to know that you really care
When you touch my hand
Swear I'm gonna fall apart
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
I've tried my best, so long
To break down these walls
But you build them strong
So I stand here waiting, wondering why, oh why
Why you don't give a little bit
Break down and give a little bit
Show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
You say, you've been hurt, well you're not alone
As you race through this life what you keep to yourself
Can turn you to stone
All it would take is one kind word to be heard
Come on and give a little bit
Try to forgive a little bit
Show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
Show, show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Only a feeling can save us now
Show some emotion
Open, open your heart
Set free an ocean
Hey...hey...hey...whoa...whoa...

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53,
Drove down to New Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there where Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell

It must have taken a long, long time to make a woman like you
Ooh baby, 'cause you're so, so fine
He took the stars from the sky, put the sparkle in your eye
Baby, don't you know you're my only desire?
When I enter the room, I smell your perfume
The taste of your lips is like the nectar from the Gods
And the sunlight on your hair is just like spun gold
After God made you, he broke the mold
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all I need is you
You're everything to me and my life's complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, I'm gonna bow to your feet
To describe how your body feels when you're next to me
Like rockin' and rollin' on a stormy, stormy sea
You bring me up, oh, and then you take me down
Then you take me to Heaven and back down to the ground
You're just like a rose blooming in the spring
You're everything a man could want, everything a man could need
And at night I fall down on my knees
And thank God for sending an angel just to love me
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all I need is you
You're everything to me and my life's complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, I'm gonna bow to your feet
Girl, let me touch you, make sure it's not a dream
If it is please don't awake me, it would be so, so mean
The thought of ever losing you is more than I could bear
It just wouldn't be Heaven no more if you were not there
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all I need is you
You're everything to me and my life's complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, I'm gonna bow to your feet
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
And I don't want another woman, all I need is you
You're everything to me and my life's complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, I'm gonna bow to your feet
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
And I don't want another woman, all I need is you
You're everything to me and my life's complete

I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act
Like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I try and I try
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
Solo
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only acts to the play
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who loves me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
Look at this face,
I know the years are showing,
Look at this life,
I still don't know where it's going.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.
Look at these eyes,
They've never see what matter,
Look at these dreams,
So beaten and so battered.
Chorus:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
And that may be all I need to know.
So many questions still left unanswered,
So much I've never broken through,
And when I feel you near me,
Sometimes I see so clearly,
The only truth I've ever known,
Is me and you.
Look at this man,
So blessed with inspiration,
Look at this soul,
Still searching for salvation.
Chorus x3:
I don't know much,
But I know I love you,
Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,
Cuz now you're gone, so all your sweet talk........
Even though we're apart, you're still right here in my heart
My imagination, Oh I said it's so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
My imagination, Oh so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
I can hear the bells are ringing
I can hear the angels singing
My darling has left me
Whoa, somebody please help me
Cause I need someone to show me the way
Whoa, I can hear the people say
As I kneel and start to pray
His darling has left him
Whoa I want to tell you, somebody, somebody, help him
'cause he needs someone to show him the way, whoa
For at night when I think of you dear
At all times, all through the day
Why don't you come on, come on, come on darling
'cause I need a someone to show, show me the way
But how can I hear the bells ringing
Whoa I wanna tell you that I can hear, that I can hear the angels singing
My darling has left me, whoa I wanna get somebody, somebody help me
Cause I need someone to show me the way
For every boy, there's a girl
And I know somewhere in this world
There must be somebody
There must be somebody, for me, for me
I pray at night alone in my sleep
That someday my lover I'll meet
'cause I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
There must be somebody for me, for me
I pray at night that you'll come back to me
I love you with all my heart and soul
Darling, I would never make you cry
I want you to come to my side
For every boy there's a girl
And I know somewhere in this world
There must be somebody
There must be somebody, for me, for me
There must be somebody
Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll not say my last goodbye
Whoa, so don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
'Cuz I'll return someday
So don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' no, no don't weep
My heart tells me you're in love with me
Whoa, so don't weep, don't weep, little darlin' don't weep
'Cuz I'll return someday soon
(To take you in my arms)
And to squeeze you tight
(To capture all your charms)
Every, every, every day now
Don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' no don't cry
I'm not saying my last goodbye
Whoa, no don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't cry
I'll return someday, someday soon
(Someday soon)
Whoa, don't cry, don't cry, little darlin' don't, don't you cry
'Cuz I'm not saying my last goodbye
What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds rolled in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Plaquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh, Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
President Coolidge come down in a railroad train
Little fat man with a notepad in his hand
President say, "Little fat man, oh, isn't it a shame
What the river have done to this poor farmer's land"
Oh, Louisiana, Louisiana
You're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh, Louisiana, oh Lord, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash us away
Unbelievable describes your smile so sweet
Inconceivable that you're a part of me
Innocent look in your eyes
Love without compromise for me
It's a mystery
What did I do to deserve you
Only God's hands could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that I , I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did I do to deserve you
Oh Yeah
Unconventional, describes my love for you
Unconditional, cause there's nothing I won't do
I pray as this feeling grows
That you always touch the heart and soul of me
It's a mystery
What did I do to deserve you
Only God's hand could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that I , I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did I do to deserve you
I've waited all my life to hold such a treasure
What is this feeling worth, there is no measure
Tell me what can I do
What did I do to deserve you
Only God's hand could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that I'd , I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did I do to deserve you
To deserve you
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky, my love
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy it would fill the earth
And would last til the end of time, my love
It would last til the end of time
The first time ever I saw, saw your face
Oh, Amelia
My southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
So wild but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my heart she fell, oh, I got pulled into her spell
I can still see her there with the flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, my Southern woman
I can still feel you every time I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
We never had a chance to say goodbye
I remember making love underneath the stars above
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
That night in the Southern land, the girl, she took me by the hand
And I was weak as a little lamb but I became a man
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
We rode all night in the rain 'cross the Lake Poncetrain
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
I can still see her there with flowers in her hair
Oh, Amelia, my Southern woman
I can still feel you, every time I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
In my heart she'll always shine so bright
Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my Southern woman
I can still feel you every time I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern woman
I can still feel you every time I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern woman
I can still feel you every time I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern woman
Aaron Neville/ Pamela Hayes
I can see it in your eyes
You're telling me a lie
When you say you love me
And there's something in your smile
Said you'd be gone in a while
I can hear in your talk
Your about to take a walk
So darling please don't lie
I've been knowing you way too long
So don't say there's nothing wrong
You can never fool me, no how
I can see it in your eyes
But you try to disguise
I can feel It in your touch
You've fallen out of love
You could tell me that I'm wrong
My heart knows that I'm right
I can see it in your eyes
So if it's over, let it be over
I'd rather face the truth
Than have to make believe
Your feelings haven't changed
Yes I'll be alright,
After you say goodby
But I know that I'll be missing you
For a long time
Chorus
You can tell me that I'm wrong
My heart knows I'm right
(sharon robinson)
One lonely night I stumbled upon a dream
In my ordinary world,
With eyes like an angel,
A voice like a song from the heart,
You came into my world
You crossed a river of time,
You climbed a mountain of hope,
Yes you did,
You brought me all the love that I've been living for,
And now I can only ask for one thing more,
Just to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you
And be with you every day
Be with you every day of my life
Just like the stars,
Shining down from the heavens,
Into my solitary world,
Just like the glow that comes when the rain is over,
Bringing warmth to the world,
You are the dawn of my day,
Yes you are,
You are the lantern that lights my way,
You are the love that I cherish in my heart,
I pray to heaven that we never part,
I want to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,
Every day I thank heaven for you,
Every night I pray just to......
Just to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you everyday,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you,
And be with you every day,
D. Linde
Now you left me here and went out in the town
Don't know when I've been so down
The sky is dark the moon is blue
I don't know what I'm goin' to do
Is like I'm fallin' down into muddy water
Well I match no man who has come and gone
I still got the TV on
A white noise a blue moon
sitting here waitin' up on you
Is like I'm fallin' down into muddy water
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on
Two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock five
Baby you still aint home
Well I fall down to sleep in straight back chair
Morning comes and you still aint here
Hold on I've had enough
Holding on to your faithless love
Is like I'm fallin' down into muddy water
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on
Two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock five
Baby you still aint home
Now you left me here and went out in the town
Don't know when I've been so down
The sky is dark the moon is blue
I don't know what I'm goin' to do
Is like I'm fallin' down into muddy water
You saw me crying in the chapel
Tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where all good people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I?ll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I?ve searched and I?ve searched but I couldn?t find
Nowhere on earth to find peace of mind
Now, I?m happy in the chapel
Where people are of one heart
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You?ll search and you?ll search but you'll never find
Nowhere on earth to find peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lightened
There's a chill in the evening air
Carries me back to some place where
I thought I'd lost my way forever
Every dream and every plan
Every last chance slipped through my hand
And you smiled at me and it was over
Holding you tonight
Hold on tight
I try to say it right
And I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
You know I owe you one
Walk me down those streets again
Stop me right at the moment when
You stood there talking to a stranger
Tell me how you looked at me
And knew the very best that I could be
How did you see this happy ending
Standing by your side
I'm still surprised
I try to say it right
But I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
You know I owe you one
One for life and one for love
And all you've given me
For the dreams you made me dream again
And all that we can be
Holding you tonight, holding you tonight
Hold on tight
I try to say it right
I guess sometimes the words don't come
And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life
And saved me with your love
I hope when all is said and done
Oh, baby, I found Heaven when I found you
And this Heaven is somethin' I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said, "Goodbye", I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby don't, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
(Oh)
Baby, I saw forever when I saw you
And if you left me, I can't imagine what I'd do
Now that I've gone and built my world around your love
I couldn't let you go
Don't ever say, "Goodbye", no don't, don't, don't ever go
'Cause the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
(Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
(If you go)
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause you might as well take away my life from me
What good would a life without you be anyway?
(Anyway)
If you go away
Well, the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
(From the sky)
Baby please, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
(Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
(If you go)
Baby don't, no, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
Don't take away my Heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
Baby don't, don't take away my Heaven, oh no
Please don't take away my Heaven
Please baby, don't, oh no
Don't take away my Heaven, oh
Don't take away my Heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales come true
But they come true, when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise, and
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
If I could, I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you So I'll know where you are
All the rainbows in your favorite shades
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask, I'll try
'Cause betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong
(johannes brahms)
Lullaby, and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes, start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn
Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
(karla bonoff)
Am I really here in your arms
Its just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like we're frozen in time
And you're the only one I can see
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Asked for a little help from above
Send that angel down to me
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know
I know
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
All my life
All my life
Hey, I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
Hey, I've spent all my life with you
( g. davis, jr )
You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L o v e, l o v e, l o v e was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home
And I used to believe that I could trust you
But I find that you untrue
Lately, lately I find that I'm all by myself
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover
'cause for me, 'cause for me there will be no other
Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you
Please dear lord keep her safe for me
Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin
They can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay so lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting over the clocks
There's a light shadows all the rocks that saves me
It saves me
That's why I wander and follow la vie dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want
La vie dansante
Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders
Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop there's a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling
Why don't you wander and follow la vie dansante?
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want
La vie dansante
That's why I wander and follow la vie dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want
La vie dansante
Why don't you wander and follow la vie dansante?
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want
Once again,
Here am I wrapped up in a dream, I'm about to lose my mind
Over you, I've done it again
Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again
I've been in love before
I've been hurt before
I thought I was through with being a fool
But I ended in the same shoes once more
Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again
I've done it again
You know, I know I've done it again
Over you, I've done it again
You can go, go, go
'Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place
Down, down, down came the tears
Since you went away and left me here
But up, up, up went my love, love, love
I have found another love to take your place
Fast, fast, fast went the train
That took you to the arms of another man
But you can go, go, go
'Cuz I know, know, know
I have found another love to take your place
I thought that I could live without you
I thought that I would never love again
Someone came along with a love so strong
I forgot about you and once again I feel like a man
Whoa, I have found a love that's true
I hope that you have done the same thing too
If you're not happy, don't come back to me
I have found another love to take your place
How many times must I say I love you
How many times must I say I love you, love you
You treat me so cold, honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry, honey
I wanted to die
How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me so cold, honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry, honey
I wanted to die
You brought me through changes, I've never been through before
I said I was leaving but I never got out that door
I'm never at ease honey, I'm always on my knees honey
I'm begging you please, whoa to forgive me please
How many times must I say I'm sorry
How many times must I say I'm sorry, sorry
You treat me so cold, honey
You opened my nose, honey
And then you laughed, uh huh, uh huh
You made me feel bad, uh huh, uh huh
You made me cry, honey
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay
If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go, but to stay in my heart
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before?
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go?
But this time be different in some way
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay
You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved by your kiss
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go?
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay

Why torture yourself when you know you're in love?
Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above
Confess your feelings to the one's you love
And let's live before it's too late, let's live
Why deprive yourself of the wonders of life?
Time is getting shorter, there's no reason for those lonely nights
If you don't, if you don't love me, you'll miss the boat
And let's live before it's too late, let's live
Why should you live in a sad state of mind?
Problems, problems, problems all the time
Do your best to get them off your chest
Everything, everything will be just fine
Love is nice, love is sometimes cruel
When you've been in love you have been to the greatest school
So try and make an A, honey and I'll do the same
Let's live before it's too late, let's live before it's too late
You know, I know, before it's too late
Looking in your eyes
Is like looking through a window seeing clear skies of days gone by
Of happiness, imagining sweet visions of your loveliness
Oh, and your tenderness
Makes me wanna cry, for the love that we've shared
It makes me feel alive to know that you care
Hold you through the night, let me lie in your arms
Tonight I wanna love you girl 'til the morning comes
And look into your eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes
Take me to paradise
It makes me want to cry tears of joy
Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes
When I see your face, oh and you hold me in your warm embrace
I feel so safe
Your amazing grace calms me through the fire
Or the rainy days and the clouds it brings
Makes me wanna cry, for the love that we've shared
It makes me feel alive to know that you care
Hold you through the night let me lie in your arms
Tonight I wanna love you girl 'til the morning comes
And look into your eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes, hold me darling
Take me to paradise
Your an angel, it makes me want to cry tears of joy
Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes
Could you be an angel from up above, from up above
So beautiful, beautiful, wonderful?
Sent down from heaven for me to love
Oh, I love you girl
Your sweet smiling eyes, your sweet and smiling eyes
Take me to paradise
It makes me want to cry tears of joy
Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes
Take me to paradise
It makes me want to cry, tears of joy
( g. davis, jr )
You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me
I brought you to the city
Now you tell me, there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head
You never never had it so good 'till you met, until you met me, oh until you met me
Every time the telephone rings I hold my breath
Hoping that it's you, I'm scared to death
Phone went ring, my crippled heart cried
Let it be you, on the line
Then a voice says, "Hello, can I speak to Joe?"
"Wrong number, I am sorry, goodbye"
Pity the fool who loves you so
If you found someone new, don't let me know
The phone rang once again
My heart skipped a beat
Must be you, this is my belief
Then the voice on the other end says
"Can I speak to Ben?"
"Wrong number, I am sorry, goodbye"
I live simply on the memory
Of your love that was once for me
Come back my darling please
And set my heart at ease
Then a voice says, "Hello, darling you know I love you so"
Hold on baby, 'til I tell these blues goodbye
With you in mind, things just ain't bad as they seem
With you in mind, I can fill my wildest dreams
With you in mind, I can do anything, I know I can
With you in mind, with you in mind
With you in mind, I went out lookin' for the best
With you in mind, 'cause you deserve nothing less
With you in mind, I've done so many things that love can bring
With you in mind, with you in mind
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day
Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
The same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day
(lee diamond, george davis)
There's no need for you to worry about anything
Who can say what the future gonna bring
But if you worry about tomorrow
It will only bring you sorrow
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
Hold your head up high
Face the future with a smile
Things'll be better
It just takes a little while
So when your feelin' low, down and out
You're gonna shine without a doubt
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
Life is just what you make it
Can be good or can be bad
How can you miss something you never had
When things go wrong don't forget
There's no need for you to get upset
Go out and have a good time
For this world is so fine
Go out and have a good time
This world is so fine
This world is so fine
Irving berlin 1942
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
(isaac hayes/david porter)
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me
And if I know that she's worried, I know I'd feel the same misery
We've been through so much together, we stand as one, that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me
And just what she means to me now, oh, you just, you just wouldn't understand
People can say that she's no good, but she's my woman and I know I'm her man
And if he's got a problem, whoa, I know I gotta help him solve them
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with my baby
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never, never, never be discouraged, oh no
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who with all our sorrows share?
Jesus know our every weakness
Take, take it to the Lord, to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior still our refuge
Take, take it to the Lord in prayer
Do your friends despise or forsake you?
Take it to the Lord, take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take you and shield you
Well my friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
Well my answer said all that use me stuff
Is I-I-I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Uh huh, until you use me up
Well my brother, you know he sit me right down and he talked to me
Well he told me, that I ought not let you just walk on me
(Well, you too big for that boy)
Well I'm sure he meant well
You know but when our talk was through
I just said now brother if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Uh huh, until you use me up
Well sometimes, it's true you really do abuse me
Well you get me in a crowd of high class people
And then you act real rude to me
But oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me I can't get enough
And I-I-I said I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
(Come on now, now)
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking 'bout you using me
Well it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
'Cause I'm sure, I'm using you to do the things you do
Uh huh, until you use me up
Oh no, oh no, until you use me up
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Baby, just keep on using
Oh no no, until you use me up
Until you use me up
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Until you use me up

Sometimes we need to start again
When this crazy life of ours is slow
And I guess that's why fools like us rush in
Where wise men never never go
In time we may find out why
These walls we build seem so high
But I've gotta believe that we can break through
And I gotta believe this love is good for me and you
And all we have to do to make it last, oh yeah
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove is try a little harder, try a little harder
You're the wildfire in my life
Always burning out of my control
Sometimes you cut me like a knife
Deep into my heart
Way down to my soul
But somehow we survive
And we get another chance to make it right
But I gotta believe that we know which path to choose
And I gotta believe that somehow we will see it through
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
Each precious moment that we share
Is locked up in my heart forever more
I just need to know that you really care
When you touch my hand
Swear I'm gonna fall apart
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it last

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground painted swing
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me, I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of march that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings, but who's to answer
How the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me, they seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
Sammy cahn, jule styne (c) 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you the very thought of you, my love
I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the mere idea of you
The longing here for you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
It's about to drive me insane
Oh why she's never on time
She should have been here since a quarter 'til nine
What could be keeping her so long
Well is she in another mans arms
Do we still have our date
I won't know until it's too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up
She thinks that I'm lame
The way she treats me's a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
It's about to drive me insane
Oh why, she haven't got here yet
She's the meanest girl I've ever met
Could she still be at home
I think I'll try to call her on the phone
Her mother answered the phone
And said that she had already gone
I should let her go
But oh, I love her so
She thinks that I'm lame
But the way she treats me's a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
It's about to drive me insane
Oh why she's never on time
She should have been here since a quarter 'til nine
What could be keeping her so long
Oh, is she in another mans arms
Do we still have our date
I won't know until it's too late
Could be my bad luck
Maybe she done stood me up
She thinks that I'm lame
The way she treats me's a crying shame
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
It's about to drive me insane
Between the ticks of the clock and the beats of my heart
Long years ago, on a deep winter night.
High in the heavens, a star shone bright.
While in the manger, a wee baby lay.
Sweetly asleep, on a bed of hay.
Jesus our lord, was that baby so small.
Lay down to sleep, in a humble stall.
Then came the star, and it stood over head.
Shedding its light, 'round his little head.
Dear baby Jesus, how tiny thou art.
I'll make a place, for thee in my heart.
And when the stars, in the heavens I see.
The Shadow of Your Smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
You know night after night these guys are settin' up
Hookin' up, climbin' past the sky, they don?t really get no praise
So I wrote this song in honor of them
'Cuz without them there?d be no show
So get a roadie song, after all he ain't no bum
Give a roadie a hand, he?s really part of the band
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
Them speakers weigh a ton, his work is never done
So get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
Got a mighty long ways to travel
He?s gotta cover many miles of gravel
He?s gotta long, long ways to go
And if he don?t make it, there ain't gonna be no show
So give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie song
He climbed to kingdom come, he?s up to see the sun
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
He?s got a mighty long ways to travel
He?s gotta cover many miles of gravel
He?s gotta long, long ways to go
And if he don?t make it, there ain't gonna be no show
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
After all he ain't no bum and get a roadie a hand
He?s really part of the band
Give the roadie, give the roadie
Give the roadie, Give the roadie, give the roadie song
Get a roadie, get a roadie
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
Give the roadie, give the roadie
Give the roadie, give the roadie, give a roadie song
Give the roadie, give the roadie
Our father
Which art in heaven.
Hollowed would be thy name
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done.
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive our debts
As we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory.
Step right up, come on in, if you?d like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you, just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
Over there, sits the chair where she?d bring the paper to me
Sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh, I love you"
But now she?s gone forever and this old house will never be the same
Without the love that we once knew
Straight ahead, that?s the bed, where we?d lie in love together
And Lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table, don?t it look like she?d be able
Just to touch me and say, "Good morning dear"
There?s her ring, all her things and her clothes are in the closet
Where she left them when she tore my world apart
As you leave you see the nursery, oh she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but our baby and my heart

The bells of St. Mary's
Ah, here they are calling
The young loves, and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When the red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, yes, ring out
For you, yes, you and me
The bells of St. Mary's
Ah, here they are calling
The young loves, and the true loves
That come from the sea
And so my beloved
When the red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, yes, ring out
With her mind far away from mine
She's mostly sincere, most of the time, yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
With her strong desire to please
Oppression to her is like a disease, yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
Many times when she's alone
She dreams and dreams and dreams
Dreamin' of a perfect love
That never was and never be
With her heart placed in her hand
She will go to the end and back if she can for me, yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
Summertime
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', I know they are jumpin' and the cotton is so high
Your Daddy's rich and your Mama is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
No need to cryin'
One of these mornings
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You will spread your wings
Spread your wings
Then you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There is nothin' gonna harm you
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
They're standin' by
But till that morning
Until that morning
There is nothin' gonna harm you
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon glowing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, in the still of the night
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon glowing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, in the still of the night
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
I've been runnin' behind a train
I never could keep satisfied
Appetite for destruction
Keeps a man bound and tied
Oh, shine you goodness down on [Incomprehensible] me
Oh Lord from up above
In my darkest hour
Soon be, it's Your turn to love
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Mother, Johnny used to tell me
Said, "Son, don't waste your youth
As blinding of fear and hatred
And you never ever see the truth"
Oh Lord, I keep prayin' [Incomprehensible] wisdom
And the strength to carry on
Oh Lord, be my helper
Let Thine will in my life be done
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Come on and steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Come on, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
Steer me right, don't let me fall
Don't let me, steer me right, sweet Jesus
Be my all in all
Steer me right, sweet Jesus
And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky, the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You'll wander down the lane and far far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by, gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
That melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars were bright
But you were in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
A memory of love's refrain, love's refrain
Beside a garden wall
When stars were bright
You were in my arms
That nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
( f. caliste )
Hey la, um de hey oh la
Said, hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Said hey, oh hey, feelin' good today
One day as I was a havin' myself a party
You know a flyin' saucer landed right by my side
You know a big green man jumped out and boy you know he robbed me
You know he beat me for my bottle before I got high
I hittim' up knowing that I was dead
'cause he had that big ray-gun pointed at my head
But curiosity will get the best of the best
You know he smelled that bottle and the liquor did the rest
And I said, hey la, um de hey oh la
Hey la, um de hey oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey, oh hey, it ain't over yet
Turned that bottle up and started drinking
It was a long, long time before he pulled it away
His eyes got crossed and man his knees started wobblin'
He took four steps forward and this is what he said
He said, hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
He said hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
Hey oh la, feel good today
I could see this cat was a just about to party
'cause he had that great big green in his eye
He said come on hurry on down, let's forget our troubles
Just jump in my space hot-rod and take a little ride
So now I'm not afraid of no kind of space man
'cause I keep my defenses by my side
And if you ever see me any place or any time
You can bet I'm a holding my bottle by my side
And I'm gonna sing hey la, um de hey, oh la
Hey la, um de hey, oh le
Hey, hey, hey, hey oh la
When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You may leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm still in love with you
I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
I get the blues most every night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
My eyes can't lie to you
My kiss, my kiss can only tell you true now
You say you have your doubts
But I say I don't know what that talks about now
My world, I have given you
I never gave myself the way I gave myself to you
What have I gotta do to make you believe I love you
What have I gotta say to make you believe you're the one for me
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true
That I could only love you
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
When I say I love you
I say what's in my heart
There is no other love
I know that God knows you're the only one
So, why can't you believe when I tell you
There ain't nobody, there ain't nobody
But you in my heart
Long as we've been together
You should know by now the love I feel, I feel forever
What have I gotta do to make you believe I love you
What have I gotta say to make you believe you're the one for me
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true
That I could only love you
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
When I say I love you
I say what's in my heart
I'll never walk away
I'll never leave your side
I'll never break your heart
And look in someone else's eyes
You're everything I need
The air that I breathe
I won't live one day without you
Believe me
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true
That I could only love you
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
When I say I love you
I say what's in my heart
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true
That I could only love you
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't I, didn't I
Say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true
That I could only love you
Didn't I, didn't I
Even though we're apart
You're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine
I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace
Just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong
But reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song
With tears in my eyes
'Cuz now you're gone
So all your sweet talk
Even though we're apart
You're still right here in my heart
My imagination, oh I said it's so strong,
But reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
My imagination, oh so strong
When all our tears have reached the sea
A part of you will live in me
Way down inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new winds gonna find your sail
And that's where your journey starts
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as a river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you see
Only the valleys and the peaks
I can see you on the top
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as a river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Remember me when you're out walking
When snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleeping
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as a river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
There?ll be some slow walkin?
Gonna be some sad talkin?
There?ll be some flowers bringin?
Gonna be some sad singin?
Over you, I say over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
There?ll be some long black limousines
People peepin? from their window screens
Parade of cars with their headlights on
All of that will be goin? on
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
There?ll be a hole about six feet deep
For you baby to take your sleep
Into a pine box and down you?ll go
Where you will stay, where it?s free of snow
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
All your folks will be dressed in black
Ride a long black Cadillac
Yeah, baby they?ll be puttin? you away
The funeral home?ll have the business that day
Over you, I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
Said I'm gonna slay you baby, whoa now
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
Say you?ll never leave me
I said you?ll never leave me
Say I?m gonna get rid of you , baby
If I ever hear you say we?re through
Whoa, I love you
No, tellin? what I?d do
That?s why, baby
Once again,
Here am I wrapped up in a dream, I'm about to lose my mind
Over you, I've done it again
Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again
I've been in love before
I've been hurt before
I thought I was through with being a fool
But I ended in the same shoes once more
Once again,
I sit alone wondering and worrying all night long
Over you, I've done it again
I've done it again
You know, I know I've done it again
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washes, oh, when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
He taught me how to watch
Watch and pray, watch and pray
And He rejoy every day, every day
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When my Jesus washes, oh when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God, the King
And peace to men on earth
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord, Emmanuel
O come to us, abide with us
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
I?m a family man, I wasn?t born to roam
But it seems like every Christmas time
It makes me farther from my home
I love singin? my song, but it get?s me down
To hang my stockin? in some hotel
When the fat man comes to town
But, it?s alright, it?s gonna to be okay
'Cause this year I?ll be home, come a Louisiana Christmas day
Ohh, mama, I?m gonna find a way
Your little boy's comin? on home, come a Louisiana Christmas day
Way up in the bayou thought there won?t be snow
But my friends all invite me ?round
For a Christmas fay do-do
I?m gonna hop a plane or rather use my thumb
But you best believe I?ll be ?round that tree
When Christmas morning comes
Ohh, it?s alright, it?s gonna to be okay
Your little boy's comin? on home, come a Louisiana Christmas day
Ohh, let the god times roll, [Incomprehensible]
Your little boy's comin? on home, come a Louisiana Christmas day

Hey, are you coming? Are you going?
Brother, are you just wasting time
Is there a rhyme or a reason
And when you're gonna make up your mind
Are you holding back your tears?
Will you ever let the river flow?
Or are you caught up in your fears?
Let the living water save your soul
Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along
And let go, just let go
I am with you on this journey
I'll be with you till the end of time
You know you'll never ever be abandoned
So precious, this child of mine
Jesus in my arms I will hold you
This world at times it seems so unkind
Walk with faith into His glory
Let go and let your spirit fly
Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along and let go
Don't you wanna be with your brothers
Marching with that angel band
And let go, just let go
Let go, let the mercy river flow
Let go, get on your knees and let Him know
Let go, He'll build you up and make you strong
All the saints will march in glory
Hear the angels sing along
Let go, let go, let it go
Let go, let it go
And let it go, let it go
Just let go, let it go

Too many, too many mornings, gotta wake up soon
Too many, too many mornings, whoa lord gotta wake up soon
Oh and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon
It was late, very late last summer, when I first got my time
Whoa it was late, very very late last summer you know when i, I first got my time
My buddy got one hundred years, thank the lord I just got ninety-nine
If you see, if you see my mama, won't you tell her this for me
Lord, if you see , if you see my dear old mother, won't you please tell her this for me
I got a long long time and lord knows when I'm gonna be free
You know they come up here a skippin' and a jumpin' but you know that they won't last long
Lord, they come up here a skippin' and a jumpin', but you know that they won't last long
One day they're gonna wish they were a baby boy in their mothers arms
You know they're always, always talking about dangerous blue
Whoa, you know they're always talking about dangerous blue
If I had my big old pistol, you know I'd be dangerous too
Twelve jury men found me guilty, the doorman looked me up and down
Lord, twelve jury men found me guilty, you know the doorman looked me up and down
Just looked at me through the corner of his eye and said boy, you're penitentiary bound
One day, one day down in new orleans, all the girls gonna jump and shout
Lord, one day down in new orleans all the girls gonna jump and shout
Down here where the river meets the sea
In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Lying underneath the stars right next to you
And I'm wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do baby
Oh, the clouds roll in across the moon, and the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
We never gonna make that bridge tonight, baby
Set across the Poncetrain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Batten down the hatches, baby leave your heart out on your sleeve
Looks like we're in for stormy, stormy, stormy weather
That ain't no cause to leave
Just lie here in my arms let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Baby can you feel it? Can you feel it?
It feels like rain
Baby can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Feel like rain
Let your love, let your love
Let your love come down
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way, I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
When you hold me close, honey
You're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey, I had to get you
You have been my one desire
How could I help, but love you with a love so true?
You send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault
Yeah, it would be all mine
If you would ever leave me, honey
It sure would grieve me, baby, it would break my heart
But I won't let that worry me, this love will always be
It was meant right from the start
How could I help, but love you with a love so true?
You send cold chills down my spine
If we would ever part, it wouldn't be your fault
Yeah, it would be all mine
When you hold me close, honey
You're the most, baby, you set my soul on fire
Ever since I met you, honey, I had to get you
You have been my one desire
How could I help, but love you with a love so, so true?
You send cold chills down my spine
House on a Hill (Aaron Neville)
Tired of livin in a room without curtains
Tired of sleepin on the floor without a bed
Said if I can't have the good things in life
You know I might as well be dead
I want a house on a hill
Chorus Tell me wouldn't that be a thrill
A Cadillac and a pool
Now wouldn't that be cool
Tired of wearin them poor mans shoes
And punchin the clock everyday
I'm gonna buy myself a ticket on a choo choo train
I'm gonna make my get away
Chorus
Now I got a woman. Says she's crazy about me
That's why she's with me every morning, yall
About half past three
She says come on get up, and get on out the door
Because today is only Wednesday and ya got
Thursday, Friday to go
Chorus Intro x4 with lead
Here comes my boss, All up in my face
He says you know. You better do a good job
Cause you can be replaced
Well lord and I gotta take it
Because the money I need
Because I got you to cry on
And four lil mouths to feed
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hail the heaven, Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with His healing wings
Mild, He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don?t write me no letter, don?t call me on the phone
Well, I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
You played a game, I was a fool
When I see you with someone else, I just keep my cool
And now I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
Well I?m alone now, as long as I could
I went along with your program like you knew I would
But one of these days now, I say now it won?t be long
You?re gonna look for me and honey child, you know baby, but I?ll be gone
Get out of my life, leave me alone
Don?t write me no letter, don?t call me on the phone
Well I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
Well, I?m trying to forget that I love you so
So let me down easy baby, just let me go
I said, let me go, baby
Come on, come on, let me go now
I said, come on, come on, come on, come on, whoa
Come on, let me go
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times
I'll get along and you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time, for the good times
Every day along about noon
Oh, how I'm dreaming of the day that I'll be home soon
And every day along about one
Oh, how I remember how we used to have fun
And every day along about two
Whoa, how I'm so lonely in a world so blue
And every day now along about three
When I'm dreaming of a day that I'll be free
And every day along about four
But I cry, whoa I cry, till I can cry no more
And every day along about five
I'm writing you a letter with a tear in my eye
And every day whoa just about six
Whoa, how I remember how we used to kiss
And every, every, every day now oh how it reminds me of you
Whoa, I wanna tell you, please listen to me
Even though we're apart you're still right here in my heart
Your hands are still in mine, I can still hear you whispering words divine
I can feel your warm embrace, just the thought of it puts a smile upon my face
But my imagination, whoa I said it's so strong, but reality keep assuring me I'm all alone
But now from my lips comes a song, with tears in my eyes,
'cause now you're gone, so all your sweet talk........
Even though we're apart, you're still right here in my heart
My imagination, oh I said it's so strong, but reality keeps assuring me that I'm all alone
Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I?m gonna love you like nobody?s loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don?t ever bet me
'Cause I?m gonna be true if you let me
You?re gonna love me like nobody?s loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Now won?t that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We?re in and out of the money
But I?m with you always
I?m with you, rain or shine
You gotta love me like nobody?s loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Now won?t that be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We?re in and out of the money
But I'm with you always

Hey oh oh

You can think I'll do you wrong
You can think that I don't mean a word I say
You can think what you want
(What you want)
But if you think you're gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you're just wastin' your time
'Cause I'm not changing my mind

Can't stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can't stop the world from turnin' 'round, oh
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no, no, no, no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop a river running free, no
Can't stop this love I feel in me, no
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no, no, no, no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop the wind, can't stop the sea
Can't stop the feelin' I feel in me
Night needs the stars, stars need the sky
And I'll always need you here in my life
Oh, can't stop my love, can't stop my heart
I'm in too deep, I've gone too far
(Oh oh)
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
Lovin' you, oh
But if you think you're gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you're just wastin' your time
'Cause I'm not changing my mind
Can't stop the rain from falling down

Can't stop the world from turnin' 'round
(I'm gonna love you forever)
Can't stop my heart from loving you
(Can't stop my heart from loving you)
No no, no matter what you do, baby
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once, I once was lost, oh, now am found
I was blind, oh, but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have, I have already, already come
T'was grace that brought me safe this far
And grace shall lead me home
Our world shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here, here below
The touch of your lips next to mine
Gets me excited and makes me feel fine
The touch of your hand and your sweet hello
Oh, the fire inside you when you're holding me close
Your love so warm and tender
Oh, the thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
Make you mine
If you would leave
Lord, I surely, I surely would die
When you were ten minutes late
I started to cry
Oh, I've got it bad but it's all right
Oh, as long as you're here
Every, oh, every, every, every night
Your love, your love, your love, your love
So warm and tender, oh, and I know the thrill
I know the thrill is so divine
It is all these things that make you mine
All that makes you mine
All that makes you mine
Never, never, never leave me
( g. davis, jr , l. diamond )
I play the game of the modern romeo but never in my life did I see
A woman as square as a pool table and twice as green
I gave you all of my money and all of my loving too
But now you're goin' around just a telling everybody that I made a fool of you
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
You're a hard nut to crack
You take a strong man and break his back
I don't know but I've been told, next to you my life's been cold
You're a demon, girl, you know you're outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
Ask the man from up above, help me to save your love
I want you
Know the guy you're giving my money
And you come home and call me honey
You look like you made a resolution, took my best friend john and put him in an institution
You're a demon, girl you know you're outta sight
Girl I love you so, why I love you I just don't know
I ask the man from up above to help me to save your love
I want you
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know
What's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long
A long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, ?Brother, help me please?
But he winds up knockin' me
Right down on my, on the knees
And there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think
I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been a long
It's been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Well, we're all searching for peace of mind
Love in this world is hard to find
Come close to me, hold my hand
And warm your heart
Only a true love, can satisfy
Open your arms and close your eyes
Walk with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart
Well, you're the reason, for the way I'm feelin'
'Cause I've never felt this way before
I want to make you, ohh so happy
That's all I'm livin' for, yea
Just sorrow, yes, you should know
We need each other when lights are low
Stay with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart
Well, you're the reason, for the way I'm feelin'
'Cause I've never felt this way before
I want to make you, ohh so happy
That's all I'm livin' for
So come to me and make things right
I'll keep you happy, both day and night
Stay with me, hold my hand
B. Roberts/ F. Golde

I need you in my life
Chorus:
Cause you are my precious star
Where ever you are, I wanna be there
and you've got all of my heart

I never thought that I could feel Something so wonderful
Something so real
Chorus

or will last longer than (longer than) this love
nothing is deeper than (deeper than) sweeter than (sweeter than)

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with tv dinners and ginger ale,
But when pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, was a cherry red '53,
Drove down to new orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there where pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
"c'est la vie", say the old folks, it go to show you never can tell
I?m changing my mind
Never gonna learn about how to feel again
'Cause you, you?ve opened my heart
And I just can?t hide, I love you still
I know you mean it, when you say you need me
You say you won?t leave me, you?ll always be here
You won?t regret it, 'cause I?ll never leave you
And I won?t deceive you, I need you too
Yes, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Yes, I love you, I love you
I love you, oh I do, girl I love you
We belong together
Loving forever, enjoying this life
We?ll do what?s right, we?ll do it tonight
Will you be my wife?
I know you mean it, when you say you need me
Won?t ever leave me, saying you?ll be right here my baby
You won?t regret it, no, don?t you forget it
I?ll never deceive you, I need you too
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Yes, I love you
I, yeah, I love you
Forgive me for what I?ve put you through
I?m learning to put my trust in you
Believe in me and I?ll show you
'Cause I?ll always be here
I love you, I love you baby
Oh, I love you baby
I yeah yeah
I love, I love, I love, I love you
I love you
From the bottom of my heart, girl
I, I love you, I love you, love you
I love you, love you
I love you, love you
I love you
I love you, love you
I love you
Oh believe me, darling
Oh believe me, believe me darling
Why should I fall in love
Turn my world upside down
One broken heart is quite enough
Why should I fall in love
Why should I hold your hand
Feel my hopes start to rise
It?s a long way down and I can?t fly
Why should I fall in love
Why should I hold you
Why should I dream
I know myself
I?ll just take it to extremes
I want to keep you
My whole life through
If you?ve got no one
Least you?ve got no one to lose
Why should I fall in love
Wake up tomorrow with a smile
I want the kind that lasts awhile
Why should I fall in love
Tell me, baby
Why should I hold you
Why should I dream
I know myself
I?ll just take it to extremes
I wanna keep you
My whole life through
But if you?ve got no one
Least you?ve got no one to lose
Why should I fall in love
Turn my life inside out
One broken heart is quite enough
Why should I fall in love
This old heart has had it rough
Unbelievable, describes your smile so sweet
Inconceivable, that you're a part of me
Innocent look in your eyes
Love without compromise for me
It's a mystery
What did I do to deserve you?
Only God's hands could have made you and brought this dream to life
Always swore that I, I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all, what did I do to deserve you? Oh yeah
Unconventional, describes my love for you
Unconditional, 'cause there's nothing I won't do
I pray as this feeling grows
That you always touch the heart and soul of me
It's a mystery
What did I do to deserve you?
Only God's hands could have made you and brought this dream to life
Always swore that I, I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all, what did I do to deserve you?
I've waited all my life to hold such a treasure
What is this feeling worth, there is no measure
What can I do, tell me babe
What did I do to deserve you?
Only God's hands could have made you and brought this dream to life
Always swore that I, I would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all, what did I do to deserve you?
I?ve walked through this world sometime without a friend
My life has been up and down, been close to an end
I?ve been through the mill and I?ve paid my dues
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
But I?ve been through the fire and I?ve walked in the rain
I?ve felt the joy and endured the pain
Once I was a schemer but I always was a dreamer
But it took me who I was and where I?ve been
To make me who I am
I?ve met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell
Traveled some crooked roads and got some stories yet to tell
I?ve shot up with the junkie in piss stench halls
Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to God
Some days I was blessed, some nights I was damned
But I always tried to lend a helping hand
Once I was a deceiver, now I am a believer
But it took me, who I was and where I?ve been
To make me who I am
Oh, I?ve seen the little children all strung out on dope
No one to care about them, living without hope
But I?ve been lucky that I always had a song
I?ll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong
Once my life was wretched but why should I regret it
'Cause, it took me, who I was and where I?ve been
To make me who I am
This is dedicated to my friends in jail
For my brother Jake who had to ride the rail
For my friend Roonie and Melvin who were so dear
They were so misunderstood but I wish they were still here
To hear this song I sing from my heart
They?re forever in my soul even though we had to part
Once I was a deceiver, now I am a believer
But it took me who I was and where I?ve been
To make me who I am
God said, "I forgive you, wipe away the scars
'Cause I know it took who you were
And where you came from to make you who you are
'Cause I know it took who you were
When will we open our eyes and finally discover
We are united by one blood?
When will we realize we're sisters and brothers
And what the world needs now is love?
There's a dreamer inside each one of us who wants to believe
There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father's hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world, there is still a dream
A brother down on his luck fallen to chances
We could pick the brother up
A sister down on her knees prayin' for answers
Why don't you show the sister love?
All over the world life is unjust but I do believe
There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father's hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world there is still a dream
And everyone needs one
'Cause no one is freed from
The worries of life that drag us down
If you can't make it my hands can take it
We'll stand together and pray
There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father's hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world
There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father's hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world there is still a dream
( paul )

Oh, love
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
You have a love that buys you pretty clothes
All the fine things heaven only knows that I wish I could
You have a love that dances and sings
Swings, says all the pretty little things that a playboy should
Well, he's got money, he's got charms
And when you?re walkin' on and on
It hurts me so, but I just want you to know
That it's not easy, oh, heaven knows I tried
And wish the best to you, push myself aside
And that's the greatest love, oh, that you?ll ever find
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You have a love, he's got the power
To entertain each and every hour of the day and night
You have a love, he's got the ways and means
To show you all the wild scenes when the lights are bright
Well, love should never be possessed
And this my darlin', don't forget
You?re free to go, oh, but I just want you to know
That it's not easy, oh, heaven knows I tried
And I wish the best to you and I push myself aside

And this my darlin', don't forget
You?re free to go, oh, but I just want you to know
That it's not easy, oh, heaven knows I tried
And I wish the best to you, push myself aside
That's the greatest love, oh, that you?ll ever find
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
Do you hear what I hear
Your lips are kissing mine
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
What do I have to do to make you feel the tingling too
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you
Oh yeah
Oh, I hear the bells, oh ringing in my ear
Tell me do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, do you love me like I love you
Oh, it's one thing that I want you to remember
If you ever leave me I believe I'll go insane
And I'll never hear the bells again
No, I'll never hear the bells again
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
FADE
Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know that one of them is just right for me
I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
I know she's out there waiting for me
Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be?
You know street lights shine in those passin' faces
I keep tryin' to catch somebody's eye
But all the shoulda been's, the woulda been's
The might'a been's and the coulda been's
Slippin' away and just walk right on by
Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be?
I walk in the rain that's fallin'
Some voice in the distance callin', why?
I run to the empty doorway waitin' for the sun to shine
When will love be mine?
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world?
Ahh somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
Must be a million girls in this great big city
We held each other till the moon was high
We waved that sleepy little town goodbye
And driving off together we crossed our hearts
Living for the promise that love would keep us honest
And I said I?d be yours if you?d be mine
We were crazy baby
And everyday the sun was sure to shine
But it tried and tried
Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change
And some days are made for rain
We fixed a tire and we drove like hell
We kissed like fire in a cheap motel
I never felt the hunger so bad before
Holding you beside me, walls came down inside me
And I thought I was yours and you were mine
That was crazy baby
I wasn't sure the sun would always shine
But it tried and tried
Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change
And some days are made for rain
You want to talk about love, I?ll tell you all about love
Nothing but trouble on top of falling
One day you?re walking on air
Next day you look and there?s no one there
She never cared, she never cared
Now I've been sleeping with the TV on
I get so tired of wondering where you've gone
You tore across my heart like a hurricane
I?m counting up the damage, trying hard to manage
And I thought I was yours and you were mine
That was crazy baby
And I was sure the sun would always shine
But take a look outside
Sometimes a wind makes a sudden change
Here comes those clouds and they?re full of pain
Some days are made for rain, some days are made for rain
Let it pour outside, some days are made for rain
Some days are made for rain
Some days are made for rain
( g. davis, jr )
Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ant supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby), if only you were here (you've gone away baby)
If only if you were here I'd lie for you, darling I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home
Since you've gone away
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue
Didn't worry over you
So long, this is goodbye
I didn't want you to leave me, but I've got my pride
There's one thing I want you to know
Girl I love you so (you've gone away baby), girl I love you so (you've gone away baby)
You've gone away (you've gone away baby)
So long ( you've gone away baby)
(lee diamond, george davis)
It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted
You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back
Smiled in my face and deceived me with your lies, but I'm not through
Oh, there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
But this is the part that you knew nothing of
She confessed to me that she toyed with your love
You were just a game, that she loved to play
You never had her
She took you for a ride
All of her ecstasy that you had
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
You had her brother, you were my guest
You pawned your broken heart just like all the rest
And now you are through
And there's nothing you can do
You never had her
She took you for a ride
Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings, ooh, once again
Choirs will be singing "Silent night"
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please, come home for Christmas
Please ,come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
This is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love
Oh, won't you tell me, you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year's, will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
Then I'll be happy, happy once again
Ooh, no more sorrow, no grief and pain
Words by chappeau de roquemaure
Translated by john s. dwight
Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt it's worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from orient land
The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and his gospel is peace
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
You are my brother, you are my family
And it seems like only yesterday, we were running wild and free
Down the corner buying candy, or messin' 'round in the neighborhood
Hanging out with you night and day, it was good, so good
Lately I've heard you've got the weight of the world on your shoulder
Times have been rough, I can't turn the other way
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brother, my brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My brother, my brother, I'll always be here
I know that we are different, and we've gone our separate way
But we've got to learn to accept each other, for who we are today
I know it won't be easy, but we both have got to try
To hold onto each other, until the day we die
Nobody knows you quite the way that I do
And if you're in trouble, come to me, come to me
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brother, my brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My brother, my brother, I'll always be here
Whatcha gonna do?
I'm here to help you
Tell me
We got the same blood running through our veins, my brother
Father is the Heaven, mother is the grave
We gotta look out for each other, my brother
Yeah, that's what we gotta do
Tell me
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brother, my brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My brother, my brother, I'll always be here
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brother, my brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My brother, my brother, I'll always be here
My brother, my brother, whatcha gonna do?
My brother, my brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
Lovely lady, dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray
'Cause God was just your little boy
And you know the way
Did you lift him up sometimes
Gently on your knee?
Did you tell him stories of the world
Like mother did to me?
And when he fell, did you lift him up
And make everything alright?
And did you tell him
His prayers at night?
I wanna know my lovely lady
Lovely lady, dressed, dressed in blue
Oh, God was just your little boy
Your little boy and you know the truth
And did you whisper
In his ear sweet lullabys?
Oh I, I wanna know, wanna know
I wanna know, did he cry?
Lovely lady, dressed in blue
Oh, won't you please, teach me how to pray?
'Cause God was just your little boy
And I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
So teach me how to pray
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when all the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they may see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
(Let it be, let it be)
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on 'til tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
(Just let it be)
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
(Let it be, let it be, oh, let it be)
Train whistle blowin' around the bend
But I can hear it comin' in
That's the train my baby's on
But now she's gonna bring her home
Got a letter yesterday
This is what she had to say
Meet me at the station a quarter to ten
Let's try it over again
Waitin' at the station happy as can be now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My lonely nights are over from this day on
Since my baby's coming back home
The train pulled in a few minutes late
But I didn't mind that little wait
That train is carrying medicine for heartaches and pain
For this lonely man
Everybody's gettin' off one by one
Tellin' their friend where they've been and what they've done
But where is my girl, everybody's off the train
She made a fool of me again
Waitin' at the station sad as can be now
Waitin' at the station for my baby now
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
Since my baby didn't come home
Waitin' at the station sad as can be now
Waitin' at the station for my baby
My nights will still be lonely, on and on
They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
And all day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I wandered so aimless, my heart filled with sin
I wouldn?t let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears, I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I?m so happy, no sorrow in sight
I believed, I could see a day you would want me, like I want you
You would need me, like I need you too
There was a moment, I thought time might change your mind
And there'd be a place there for me in your life
But I can't change the way you don't feel
And I can't make you see what your heart won't see
And I can't make you need what you say, you don't need
Well, I can't change you baby, I can't change the way you don't feel
And now as I walk away, I won't look back, I won't break down
What I was living for, I'll have to live without
There will be moments, I'll think how it might have been
But baby now this is how it must end
'Cause I can't change the way you don't feel
And I can't make you see what your heart won't see
And I can't make you need what you say, you don't need
I can't change you baby, I can't change the way you don't feel
(I can't change, I can't change the way you don't feel)
No, I can't change the way you don't feel
And I can't make you see what your heart won't see
And I can't make you need what you say, you don't need
I can't change you baby and never gonna change you baby, no
I can't change you baby, I can't change the way you don't feel
I can't change the way you don't feel
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight
One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight
Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight
Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight
His rod and his staff, gonna comfort me, goodnight
Join the wise, there's a soul to find, goodnight
Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight
To leave for the ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight
She really loaded down, getting water to float, goodnight
Now be for the beast at the ending of the world, goodnight
He'll eat all the children that would not be good, goodnight
I remember right well, I remember right well, goodnight
I went walking to Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, woh goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
I wanna lay your head upon your Saviors breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighborhood
Ain?t no trains around that part just ain?t no good
Wanna know, what?s going down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can?t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook no time for cool
Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother
I hope you?re clean 'cause the man is mean, don?t come another further
We all know the answer, will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine
Thank you ma?am, mister please

Like a bird, on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you ain?t gonna help, don?t hurt, just pass me by
Hercules

Duckin? rocks, catchin? stones
Movin? how can I survive what?s going on
Big steely borrow

Can?t depend, on no-one else
Comin? up the hard way I?ve got to save myself
Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance

Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk

You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home

Okay, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool
Falling in love is such an easy thing to do
But there's no guarantee that the one you love is gonna love you
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds your mind with emotion
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool
How can you help it when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason is swept away?
Oh, Heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with reality
And now you cry but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
Hey, everybody plays the fool sometimes
Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again
Everybody plays the fool
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool
Everybody plays the fool sometimes
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again
I?ve been around this world, I?ve been a lot of places
Seen a million faces in a thousand times
But when I looked into your eyes, I knew, I found heaven
And I?ve been wanting to tell you, I never want to let you go
It may be winter in Eden
But what I?m feeling
Is summer in my heart
Is it too familiar to say I love you?
Would you be suspicious if I asked your name? Tell me
What would it take to really convince you
That I?m gonna love you even if my heart would break?
Seen a better day, I can feel it coming
I can hear it coming in the winter night
'Cause you turned this man into a true believer
When you left your traces on that moonlit night
It may be winter in Eden
But when I?m with you, with you
It?s always summer in my heart
Is it too familiar to say I love you?
Would you be suspicious if I asked your name? Tell me
What would it take to really convince you
That I?m gonna love you even if my heart would break?
It may be winter in Eden
But when I?m with you, with you
It?s always summer in my heart
So let the mountains tumble, tumble to the sea
Let the rivers overflow, it won?t bother me
Let the stars go out tonight 'cause I can see them in your eyes
I?m gonna love you even if my heart would break
Is it too familiar to say I love you?
Would you be suspicious if I asked your name? Tell me
What would it take to really convince you
That I?m gonna love you even if my heart would break?
Even if my heart would break, I?m gonna love you
Even if my heart would break, I?m gonna love you
Let the stars go out tonight 'cause I can see them in your eyes
And I?m gonna love you even if my heart would break
Just a minute 'fore you leave, girl
Just a minute 'fore you touch the door
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl
Do you think we can talk about it some more
You know the streets are filled with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope
You know it ain't even safe no more
In the palace of the pope
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday is just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's suppose to be
And I need you
Come over here from over there, girl
Sit down here you can have my chair
I can't see you going anywhere, girl
The only place open is a thousand miles away
And I can't take you there
Oh, I wish I'd a been a doctor
Maybe I'd a saved some lives that been lost
Maybe I'd a done some good in this world
Instead of burning every bridge I crossed
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday is just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's suppose to be
And I need you
Oh, I wish I'd a been a doctor
Maybe I'd a saved some lives that been lost
Maybe I'd a done some good in this world
Instead of burning every bridge I crossed
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday is just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's suppose to be
And I need you
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday is just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's suppose to be
And I need you
Don't fall apart on me tonight
(Fall apart on me tonight)
I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the Heavens open up everytime she smiles
And when I come to her that is where I belong
And I'm running through her like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And I'm coming to her when the sun goes down
Take away my troubles, take away my grief
Take away my heartaches in the night like a thief
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And I need her in the daytime
(I need her)
And I need her in the night
(I need her)
And I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight
When I'm returning from so far away
Gives me some sweet loving, brightens up my day
And it makes me righteous, and it makes me whole
And it makes me mellow right down to my soul
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
This is my wish for everybody in the world
To have peace and happiness
And all the love that they deserve
To every mother, every father
Every baby child [Incomprehensible]
This is my Christmas prayer
To all those who are hungry
May they never miss a meal
All the broken hearted may they find a way to heal
And all the homeless and the needy
That they might have a coat to wear
This is my Christmas prayer
From my little house upon Valance Street
I'm sending out these hopes to high above
That this whole earth just might someday be
A little better place for the human race
From Lafayette to London
From Buenos Aires to Beijing
Let's be kind to one another
And let that yuletide spirit ring
Spread the message and the meaning
Of the season everywhere
This is my Christmas prayer
From my little house upon Valance Street
I'm sending out these hopes to high above
That this whole earth just might someday be
A little better place for the human race
This is my wish, it may be a lot to ask
But I'm hoping that a miracle
Will finally come to pass
And that all that I am saying
Are just whispers in the air
This is my Christmas, this is my Christmas
Messiah, help us to know You
Not only on Sunday
But through and through
On Your birthday we celebrate
When You came to us
But sometimes we forget
What You gave up for love
God gave up His begotten son
Because He loves us all
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another
And then everyday

Keep the Christmas spirit in your heart
Messiah, show us how to cleanse our sins
[Incomprehensible]
All our hatred and the wars we've raised
Why can't we just trust
Sometimes we still ignore the life together lasts
Mary had the holy child
To save all mankind
So sisters and brothers
Just love one another
And then everyday

Keep the Christmas spirit in your heart
When you're weary,
feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
I'm on your side.
Oh When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,.
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
Oh When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I thought it would rain forever
Caught in the flood
Reaching for some high ground
Just before I went down
It?s hard for me to remember
Just how I got through
Now, I?m lying on the cool sand
Happy here where I am
I look up the setting sun is bathing
The world with a healing light
Little darlin?, it?s gonna be a beautiful night
The rolling of distant thunder
Trouble ahead
Now, don?t you be afraid now
We?ll get through it somehow
Just look up, the setting sun is bathing
The world with a healing light
Little darlin?, it?s gonna be a beautiful night
Some like burnin' all night long
Some like howlin' at the moon
Some just like to sing along
'Cause we get lonely, lonely, we get so lonely
The stars in the sky above me
Can make me forget everything but you, baby
Everything but you, babe
I look up, see your shining smile
And I know it?ll be all right
Little darlin?, it?s gonna be a beautiful night
Just look up, the setting sun is bathing
The world with a healing light
Little darlin?, it?s gonna be a beautiful night
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain
It?s gonna be, gonna be
Gonna be, gonna be
Gonna be, gonna be, beautiful night
Too many mornin' gotta wake up soon
Oh Lord and eat my breakfast by the light of the moon
Oh Lord by the light of the moon
If you see my Momma, tell her this for me
Oh I've got a mighty long time, Lord knows I'll never go free
Oh Lord, I'll never be free

Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give, give all of me
I know that a mans duty is to have and love a woman
And that's the way it was planned
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I can
If you're tying both of my hands
It ain't no way, it ain't no way
Just ain't no way, ain't no way baby
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
Stop trying to be someone you're not
The hard cold truth is, woman, you paid too much for what you got
And if you need me, baby, say, say you do
Baby, I, baby, baby, don't you know that I need you
It ain't no way, I tell you that it ain't no way
It ain't no way, it ain't no way baby baby, baby, baby
Just ain't no way, sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
Ain't no way
If you won't let me
It ain't no way
Ain't no way
It ain't no way
For me to love you
For me to love you
Ain't no way
If you won't let me
Ain't no way
