You are the Love of My LifeGeorge Benson & Roberta Flack."20/20" albumM:
comin' home is always joy to me
ain't a place that i would rather be
i need to see the heaven in your eyes
cause you're the love that's always hard to find
every dreams that's ever crossed my mind
only you can make the day end right
chorus:
so turn out the lamplight
sit by my side
love me tonight
so turn out the lamplight
let's dream for a while
just you and i
and we'll let the world go spinning by
on a day when problems get me down
it's nice to think about the love we found
all i need is you and i'll get by
and though the years may make me old and grey
darlin' you'll still take my breath away
'cause time can't change the warmth
inside your smile
chorus...
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us of how it use to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, If I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we use to be
Chorus
And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
girl when we first touched
i felt the magic move me
i wanted you so much
the feeling moved right through me
i guess this must be love baby
so move real close i want to kiss
your lips....here is my love
take me where you want to
Can't you tell how much it hurts me
To see the tears roll down your face
I have never known such yearning
Have you any idea, how much I'd like to take his place?
[Chorus:]
Stephanie, are you there? or are you living somewhere in
past hanging on to dreams you should let fade away
Stephanie, in my arms, I wish that I could hold you
tenderly
Is there any room for me Stephanie?
I lye down awake at night, I toss and I turn
And try to think things through
Hoping you'll find out before it goes to far
With all of the love you have for him, he's got none for
[Chorus]
I love you more than you will ever know
But your heart belongs to somebody else
I shouldn't have to hide, wish I could find the nerve
To tell you what's going on inside of me ...ooh -oh-oh
Stephanie, in my arms, I wish that I could hold you
tenderly is
there any chance for me Stephanie, are you there? or are
you living somewhere in the past hanging on to dreams you
should let fade away stephanie, in my arms, I wish that I
Angel
Come to me, let me be
Part of all the love you are
Cause angel
We could fly, you and I
Ride a rainbow to the stars
So hold me all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And angel don't ever break the spell
Cause you're the star of a story I'll always tell
Angel
Used to say, yesterday
Love was only in a dream
But angel
I was wrong, all along
Just took you to make me see
So hold me all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And angel don't ever break the spell
Cause you're the star of a story I love so well
So hold me all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And angel don't ever break the spell
Cause you're the star of a story I'll always tell
Cause you're the star of a story I love so well
Cause you're the star of a story I'll always tell
Cause you're the star of a story I'll always tell
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there´s always magic in the air
But when you´re walkin´ down the street
And you ain´t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you´re nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But lookin´ at them just gives me the blues
´cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won´t even shine your shoes
They say that I won´t last too long on Broadway
I´ll catch a grey hound bus for home they all say
But they´re dead wrong I know they are
´cause I can play this here guitar
And I won´t quit till I´m a star on Broadway
There was a boy
very strange
enchanted boy;
they say be wander'd very far
very far over land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye
but very wise
very wise was be.
And then one day
a magic day he passed my way
and while we spoke of many things
fools and kings
this he said to me:
The greatest thing you'll ever learnis just to love and be loved in return,to be loved in return.
And then one day
LOVE BALLAD
George Benson
I have never been so much
In love, in love before
What a difference
How true love made in my life
So nice and so right
Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How it feels when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby what we have is much more than they see
Oh baby, whoa yeah
I'm in love, I'm in love with you girl
I say love I never knew that a touch
Could mean, could mean so much
What a difference
And when we walk hand in hand
I feel, I feel so real
Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How I feel when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby, what we have is much more than they can see
Oh, yeah
I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love's just like the thread
That keeps unravelling but then
It ties us back together in the end
(Chorus)
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
You warned me that life changes
That no one really knows
Whether time would make us strangers
Or whether time would make us grow
Even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all our love will still remain
(Repeat Chorus)
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
To lead a better life I need my love to be here...
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
(Guitar solo interlude)
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
And everywhere
Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive.
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
(1st chorus)
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so give me the night, give me the night.
You need the evening action
a place to dine, a glass of wine
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
(1st Chorus)
(2nd Chorus)
So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel alright
then we can be lovers 'cause i see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just give me the night, give me the night.
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
(Repeat 2nd Chorus)
And if we stay together
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
(1st Chorus)
{Give me the night.} == Repeat to fade
{(1st chorus)} ==
People hand in hand, future in the plan
Promises we make sometimes fade away
Like footprints in the sand
Love's a game of chance, I've grown to understand
What my greatest fear is someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand
But life was meant to live and love was meant to give
No one ever said that you can depend
On whispers to the wind
Love's a game of chance, I've grown to understand
What my greatest fear is someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand
So I will build my castle on the sea
And pray that you'll come back to me
And there I'll wait faithfully for your return, your return
Love's a game of chance, I've grown to understand
Hope will keep you near, she may reappear
If u ever lost someone you know where im coming from,(check it)
Papa never missed a day of work in his life he had to hold it down for his kids and his wife,
He taught us love and wrong from right true respect for life,
I was in the shop when they told me the news holding back tears trying to say it wasnt true,
U were my strength my shining light a hero dressed in blue.
[Chorus:]
Tell god that im trying to keep my head up to the sky,
Strong like a solider but he never said goodbye,
Operator can i get an open line,
I just want to know
[Chorus2:]
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
You were always my best friend and im dying to hear your voice again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,
I pray to god above i'll dial a perfect seven can my cell phone reach to....
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,(holler)
His clothes were old but he always kept them pressed every time he blew he'd buy mama a new dress,
When friends were broke no need to ask he would always give his last,
True definaition of a family man when i would strike out he was my biggest fan,
He said a man must loose to win go out and try again.
[Chorus]
[Chorus2]
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from (sing it)
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
If you ever lost someone you know where im coming from,
On the whispers of the rising sun,
That distant voice will come once again, once again, once again, once again.
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,(cell phone, oohh, reach to heaven ya'll)
You were always my best friend and im dying to hear your voice again. (i gotta hear your voice, )
Can a cell phone reach to heaven,(oh yeah)
I pray to god above i'll dial a perfect seven
And my cell phone reaches, (can my cell phone reach to heaven)
When I think of all I put you through
Always taking you for granted
I never saw it from your point of view
Blinded by the double standard
You were tryin' to tell me all along
Something in the love was missing
You said 'It's not too late to get it back'
But I just wasn't listening
If I knew back then what I know now
If I understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Now I see it in a different light
I've been losin' you in stages
Give us one more chance
I'll get it right
Girl , you're gonna see some changes
If I knew back then what I know now
If i understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision
Takin' time to catch up on some history
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong
with you and me
And it doesn't really matter
what's been before
But I know there's no future
with you walkin' out that door
You Are The Love Of My Life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you
You Are The Love Of My Life
The heart and soul of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home
You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And give me room to be free
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of
You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that makes sense in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you...
You Are The Love Of My Life
And I thank GOD I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
You stare at him at night and think of schemes
I stay with her each night but you're in my dreams
You tellin him that you're goin out just to meet some friends
I wonder if this treachery will ever ever end
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
You have a little boy you really love
I have a little daughter that I place noone above
If by chance you see me walkin down the street
You know that eyes like ours should never ever meet
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
Just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
Hang ups cause a slip of tongue
Let that make us come undone
Little white lies we tell our friends
Hold our love until the end
We never seem to quit the lies
We live inside a crimson sky
We love each other in our mind
An answer is what we must find
We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They’ll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without you.
Chorus 1
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love.
Chorus 2
Nothing’s gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but nothing’s gonna change my
love for you.
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are.
So come with me and share this view
I’ll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without you.
Chorus 1, Chorus2, and Chorus 1 again
INSTRUMENTAL
Chorus 2, Chorus 1, and Chorus 2 again
If you're askin' me to say
livin' life without
you girl, is alright
If you really want to know
I'd have to say it's
dangerous to my mind
So before you turn and walk away
just let me love you one more time
feel your heartbeat close to mine
Let me love you all the time
Lady love me
Yes I'm askin' you to stay
remembering it used to be so right
If you're askin' for the truth
I'd have to say I won't
believe it's goodnight
So before you turn and walk away
just let me love you one more time
feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Lady, love me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
So before you turn and walk away
just let me love you one more time
jeel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady love me all the time
Love me lady all the time
Let me love you one more time
Hold me closer now you're mine
Lady love me one last time
Love me lady
Oh, love me lady
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
So before you turn and walk away
just let me love you one more time
feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady love me one last time
Lady love me
(Love me lady all the time)
There I go, there I go, there I go
There I go
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your
magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear
blue skies
How I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?
Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in
And you can blow now if you want to
Are we really happy here
with this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
we're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're
just too far away
from being close
together from the start
We tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this
lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear
every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
to understand the reasons
why we carry on this way
(chorus)
Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (woh woh)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lot
Money's tight, he's workin' every night
it ain't easy to keep the flame alive
And when he finally comes home to ya
he's just too tired to do the things you want to
You can't help but wonder to yourself
how would it be with someone else
Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
love is forever, stay together
(Stay together) When you got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again
(chorus)
Now you're the man, you've got to understand
she don't mean to make a scene
Like you she feels all the weight you're under
and when she breaks is it any wonder?
I know sometimes it crosses your mind
to get on out and stay hard to find
Before you try you'd better look in her eyes
love is forever stay together
(Stay together) You've got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again
(You've got a lot)
(Stay together)
(Love forever)
You've got something real
that you may never feel again
(chorus)
Don't give up your good thing
Don't give it, oh, don't, oh, oh
Don't give up your good thing
Please don't, oh, don't
Don't live it up, don't give it up
LOVE X LOVE
GEORGE BENSON
(Rod Temperton)
remember the days when we never had a dime
and our dreams seemed a million miles away
but we made it baby
facin' the bad times with a smile
here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day
Chorus
cause we got love times love
it's always there for us to share
and girl it sure feels good to know
you're by my side
cause we're just two high hearts
that beat as one forever on
with love times love to keep us satisfied everynight
so my lady whisper the words i love to hear
cuddle up and i'll make you feel all right
cause i need you baby to carry me on through all the years
so come on baby close the door and dim the lights
repeat chorus
and there ain't no one in this world tonight
can change my point of view
so come on girl and hold me tight
the way you always do with love times me and you
chorus/background
love is multiplying
keeping us high
you know we'll never be divided
everything's right
girl i'm thinking about you
Strollin’ in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin’ in the dark, seein’ lovers do their thing
CHORUS
That’s the time I feel like making love to you
That’s the time I feel like making dreams come true
Oh baby
When you talk to me, when you’re moanin’ sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin’s start to show
CHORUS
Give Me The Night
George Benson
Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive.
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.
You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.
So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night. Gimme the night.
And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So gimme the night. Gimme the night...
For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill there's another heartache
The road is rough
The going gets tough
Yes love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing
When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
The next day, loneliness
When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain
Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
But I want you so
I want you though I know that
Love is a hurtin' thing
It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened
A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye
Romance was the theme
And we were the players
I never think of this without a sigh
Lover, one lovely day
Love came, planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through these moments apart memories live in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street
Lover, one lovely day
Love came, planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through these moments apart memories live in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
Without a song the day would never end
Without a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn would never see a plow
That field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good no-how
Without a song
I got my troubles and woe but sure as I know that Jordan
will
roll
I'll get along as long as a song is strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Those fingers in my hair that sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare, it's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it, the heat is too intense
for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I thank you, ooo
Don't ever leave me alone
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Oh, believe me darling
Believe me when I tell you, ooo
Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair?
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
Ever since my heart took such a tumble
I've wondered if your love for me would last
When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
Will it be just a memory of the past?
When lovers make no rendezvous
And stroll along Fifth Avenue
When this familiar world is through
Will you still be mine?
When cabs don't drive around the park
No windows light the summer dark
When love has lost its secret spark
Will you still be mine?
When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy
And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy
When glamour girls have lost their charms
And sirens just mean false alarms
When lovers heed no call to arms
Will you still be mine?
When Elsa's parties are no fun
When FDR declines to run
When Eleanor of "My Day" is done
Will you still be mine?
When Garbo gives out interviews
And Harlem folk forget the blues
When G-Man Hoover's out of clues
Will you still be mine?
A song of love will just remain a gay note
When we have finally paid our FHA note
When Barrymore first hides his face
And when Yehudi leaves a trace
When Crosby's horses win a race
When love comes calling
You'd better be at home
Nobody knows the pain of walking
Through this life alone
When love comes calling
Open up your door
They say that those who love grow stronger
Than they ever did before
And I believe there's still time to love somebody
Yes, there's still time to hold someone
'Cause my life has been an empty story
Tossed and turned on every stone
But I pray there's time enough to find the one
My heart is longing for
When love comes calling
When love comes calling
When love comes calling
You'd better be around
'Cause love won't wait or hesitate
But leave without a sound
When love comes calling
Calling at your door ( Calling at your door )
Comes calling at your door (Calling at your door)
You can never know
What's sleeping in someone else's mind
Looking at you I hope to find
What's happening in your head
Deep beneath the ice
may beat another heart
Baby what's keeping us apart
Is what we haven't said.
What's on your mind?
Are you looking for somebody new
What's on your mind?
Have you seen the way I look at you
If you don't let it show
We may never know
Just what's on your mind
Hey hey ay
Sometimes you can tell
It doesn't always take that long
Baby I don't think I'm wrong
Looking at you tonight
Somethings going on
I can feel it coming through
And I think you feel it too
Tell me that I'm right
What's on your mind?
Are you looking for somebody new
What's on your mind?
Have you seen the way I look at you
If you don't let it show
We may never know
Just what's on your mind
(Guitar solo and scat)
If you don't let it show
We may never know
Just what's on your mind
What's on your mind?
Are you looking for somebody new
What's on your mind?
Have you seen the way I look at you
What's on your mind?
Are you looking for somebody new
What's on your mind?
You know it hurts me
When I can't be next to you
And though we're young I know
You feel the same way, too
Deep in our hearts we know
It's just a matter of time
'Cause we'll be together one day
And when we met
Out on the streets along the way
It wasn't by chance that we
Were passing by that day
As sure as there's a moon
And stars above I know
We'll be together for sure
As sure as that nose on your face
We were meant for each other's arms
Just as one and one make two
You were made for me
I was made for you (boy)
Don't try to hide that smile
I know that's on your face
And when you stare (look) at me
I'll look the other way
And we won't give away
What we know from the start
That we've got that love in our hearts
Deep in our hearts
In our hearts we've got that love
In our hearts we've got that love
In our hearts we've got that love
Oh deep down in our hearts
We've got that love
Oh we're very into lovin', yeah
Oh that love in our hearts
We've got that love in our hearts
Gee it's great after being out late,
Walking my baby back home.
Arm in arm over meadow and farm,
Walking my baby back home.
We go along harmonizing a song,
Or I'm reciting a poem.
Owls go by and they give me the eye,
Walking my baby back home.
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile,
And snuggles her head to my chest.
We start in to pet, and that's when I get
Her powder all over my vest.
After I kind of straighten my tie,
She has to borrow my comb.
One kiss then we continue again,
Walking my baby back home.
She's afraid of the dark
So I had to park outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night
Hand in hand to a barbeque stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eat and then it's a pleasure again
Walking my baby, talking my baby
Loving my baby, I don't mean maybe
If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry, each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private
'Cos each time that I see you, I break down and cry
Walk on by, walk on by, just walk on by
Oh, 'cause I just can't get over losin' you
And if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye"
Walk on by, walk on by
Walk on by, just walk on by
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye"
And walked on by, just walk on by
Now you really gotta go so walk on by
Now you really gotta go so walk on by
Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry
Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry
Just walk on by
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
Oh, I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely mountains gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Waiting for the dawn of the day
All alone I gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Dreaming of my love far away
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
You've got the love
you've got the power
but you just don't understand
Girl you've been charging by the hour
for your love
I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
with my love
I remember
when you used to be
the talk of the town
All you get is lonely
(chorus)
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Without the woman I can make it
but I need the girl to stay
Oh don't you let the lady take it away
when all I need's a taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
all they get is lonely
(chorus)
Oh girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
that you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
We're gonna take it
back where we belong
(chorus)
(Turn your love around)
This time the girl became a woman
(Don't you turn me down)
Every woman needs a man
(I can show you how)
I love the girl, I love the woman
(Turn your love around)
Never been a millionaire
And I tell you mama I don't care
Never gonna own a race-horse
Or a fast back mid-engine Porsche
Don't think I'll own a private jet
On the Stock Exchange I'm no threat
So won't you help me make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home Sitting
in the moonlight glow
Excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
Dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home I'm considered the fool
But maybe they're right I don't know
So can't you help make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Who cares
Daddy says he'll buy me car
To drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
He's got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that I'm gone
They all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Don't you think I'd better get myself back home
Just don't know what to do
Maybe I'll walk, maybe I'll ride, maybe I'll never ever
decide
Get out da way
I gotta get on home
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Ive seen that road before
It always leads me her
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times Ive been alone
And many times Ive cried
Any way youll never know
The many ways Ive tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Dont leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Dont leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto
Trying to survive, trying to stay alive
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out
Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths
Old school buddies not doing it right
Every day it's the same
And it's the same every night
I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool
If he played me close and tried to test my cool
Every day I wonder just how I'll die
Only thing I know is how to survive
There's only one rule in the real world
And that's to take care of you, only you and yours
Keep dealing with the hard times day after day
Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay
Black man tried to break into my house again
Thought he got off early doing time in the pen
Even though my brothers do me just like that
I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
So just peep the game and don't call it crap
'Cause to me, life is one hard rap
Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine
She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed
600 Million on a footbal team
And her baby dies just like a dope fiend
The story I tell is so incomplete
Five kids in the house and no food to eat
Don't look at me and don't ask me why
Mama's next door getting high
Even though she's got five mouths to feed
She's rather spend her money on a h-i-t
I always tell the truth about things like this
I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list
Instead of adding to the task force send some help
Waiting on him I'd better help myself
Housing authority and the O.P.D
All these guns just to handle me in the
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
Even though they put us down and call us animals
We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes
Drive fancy cars, make love to stars
Never really saying just who we are
We use alias names like too $hort
Sell you stuff you might kill for
Young kids grow up and that's all they know
Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope
Only thing he knows is how to survive
But will he kill another brother before he dies?
In the ghetto, you keep one eye open
All day long, just hoping and hoping
You can pay your bills and not drink too much
Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up
Like me, but you don't see
Ten years from now, where will you be?
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Funk funky ghetto)
So much game in a too $hort rap
Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black
Why you wanna act like someone else?
All you gotta do is just be yourself
We're all the same color underneath
Short dog's in the house you'd better listen to me
Never be ashamed of what you are
Proud to be black stand tall at heart
Even though some people give you no respect
Be intelligent, when you put em in check
Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way
And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say
So if you don't listen it's not my fault
I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost
Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth
While me and my peoples try to get out
The ghetto
The ghetto
(Talking bout the ghetto)
The ghetto
The ghetto
We both are lost
And alone in the world
Walk with me in the gentle rain
Don't be afraid
I've a hand for your hand
And I will be your love for a while
I feel your tears
As they fall on my cheek
They are warm like the gentle rain
Come little one
You have me in the world
And our love will be sweet, very sweet
I feel your tears
As they fall on my cheek
They are warm like the gentle rain
Come little one
You have me in the world
And our love will be sweet, very sad
Very sweet like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
Six Play, Six play
I tried to write it in calligraphy
But the words wouldn't come to me
Couldn't send it in a telegram
Or sculpt it like Rodan
If I could think the words across the sky
Cuz when we touch I feel like I can fly
I couldn't build another Taj Mahal
But music says it all
Brown eyes, let my
guitar gently groove you
Like rain, falls down
Surrender to the sound

Caress you in today
Strum you like you are

My guitar is cryin for ya

Two lovers walkin on a emerald sea
Check the music, let it set your free

Never felt the beat quite like this

Never played guitar quite like this
Aww baby
Brown eyes, let my

I wanna tell you a story every man outta know
If you want a little lovin' you gotta start real slow
She gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right
Oh, squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel
good
Tell her that you love her like you know you should
She gonna love you tonight if you just treat her right
If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night that you treated her
right
Hey, hey, hey
Gotta squeeze her real gentle, you gotta make her feel
good
And tell her that you love her like you know you should
She gonna love you all night if you just treat her
right
If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night that you treated her
right
If you practice my method just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation as a lovin' man
Then you'll be glad every night that you treated her
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, a-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 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 tell it like it is.
[Fade.]
My time is too expensive.
And I'm not your little boy.
You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train
You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
Hurry, get on, now it's coming
Listen to those rails a-humming
All aboard, get on the A train
Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your mama's rich
And your daddy's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't cry
One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings
And fly to the sky
But 'til that moment
Nothin' can harm you
With your daddy and mummy
Standin' by
One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings
And fly to the sky
But until then
Nothin' can harm you
With your daddy and mummy
Standin' by
With your mum and your dad
She signs her name on my guitar
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
On my strings of love
Thru the night i cried her name
To the pounding of the ring
Swept the way in passions flame
On my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
Though she's gone without a trace
I'm seeing visions of her face
Kisses by the fire place
We're on my strings of love
(Hmm...)
Tender out the way she hunts my mind
She was only mine one night in time
Chasing after the dreams she've left behind
No one compares to how she shines
She signs her name on my guitar
Spanish kisses on my heart
We dance flamenco in the dark
We're on my strings of love
On my strings of love
We're on my strings of love
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
Angel
Come to me, let me be
Part of all the love you are
'Cause angel
We could fly, you and I
Ride a rainbow to the stars
So hold me, all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And Angel don't ever break the spell
'Cause you're the star of a story, I'll always tell
Angel
Used to say, yesterday
Love was only in a dream
But angel
I was wrong, all along
Just took you to make me see
So hold me, all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And angel don't ever break the spell
Cause you're the star of a story, I love so well
So hold me, all through the night
Stay till the day is bright
And angel don't ever break the spell
'Cause you're the star of a story, I'll always tell
'Cause you're the star of a story, I love so well
'Cause you're the star of a story, I'll always tell
Have I told you I love you
Or has it been a while since I said I did?
Have I told you htat I care
Or have I said something I can`t face?
These are thoughts that go through my mind
To make sure that my love stands the test of
time, and
When I think of you loving me
Yes, I know it`s a love that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
If I took you for granted
Well, that will never ever happen again
You tought me love is an action
More than a lover, you were my best friend
You brought me to a love so new
And the joy that I feel, I owe it all to you
When I think of you loving me
It`s a love that I know that was meant to be
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together
With open ears and a listening heart
Tears fell, and we rejoiced inside
Our new love grew side by side, hand in hand
And slowly we began to stand
Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
Floating on like an endless sea
You were the owner of a broken heart.
You didn't know that I was falling in love from afar
Every morning, wiping tears from your eyes
You never dreamed someone was watching and heard every
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin' on:
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway
to love:
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love:stairway to love.
A little candlelight, a fire for two,
A glass of chardonnay bring out the lover in you
So dancing through the night makes a picture so right
Two silhouettes framed as one in the moonlight
What are the odds of a fool finding in love
It's a one in a million shot in the dark
Just when I thought there's no need holdin on:
You wrapped me in your arms and took me on a stairway
to love:
And that's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
We're on a stairway to love:stairway to love.
Are you ready?
We can fly away right now to Tahiti
Pack your bags. Whatever you want,
You can have, here on the stairway to love:
It's where you'll find true emotion, dear
Deeper than the deepest ocean,
High up where jealous fools can't break us
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love

Verse:
Hang onto the world as it spins, around.
Just don't let the spin get you down.
Things are moving fast.
Hold on tight and you will last.
Keep your self-respect your very bright.
Get yourself in gear,
Keep your stride.
Never mind your fears.
Brighter days will soon be here.
Chorus
Take it from me someday we'll all be free (Yeah)
Verse
Keep on walking tall, hold you head up high.
Lay your dreams right up to the sky.
Sing your greatest song.
And you'll keep, going, going on.
Repeat Chorus
(Hey) Just wait and see someday we'll all be free.
(Yeah)
Take it from me, Someday we'll all be free.
(It won't be long) Take it from me someday we'll all be
free.

George Benson (born March 22, 1943 in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania)[1] is an American musician, whose recording
career began at the age of twenty-one as a jazz
guitarist. He is however, better known to the public at
large as a Pop and R&B; singer, famous for such hits as
"Give Me the Night", "Lady Love Me (One More Time)",
"Turn Your Love Around", "Inside Love(So Personal)", "In
Your Eyes", and "This Masquerade", among others. Benson
is a notorious scat singer, often developing intricate
melodic voice phrases alongside his guitar, accurately
Skylark,
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Skylark,
Have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight,
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music,
Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp,
Crazy as a loon,
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon!
Oh Skylark,
I don't know if you can find these things,
But my heart is riding on your wings,
So, if you see them anywhere,
From the moment that I see you
Chills run down my spine
Your smile is mesmerizin'
And soothes me like sweet wine
With you is where it's warmer
I never want to leave
So come on girl, let's get closer
I want to breathe when you breathe
You make me shiver
Girl your love is such a sweet sensation
You make me shiver
Baby, when you're here with me it's fascination
You make me shiver
When we're dancing close together
Wrapped up in a bliss
My heart is racing and disobeying
The magic in your kiss
We share a special feeling
I hope the music never ends
New love takes on a new meaning
Girl, let's move across the floor again
You make me shiver
Girl, your love is such a sweet sensation
You make me shiver
Baby, when you're here with me it's fascination
You make me shiver
Come on take me, I'm ready for this ecstasy
I've been waitin' forever
Feels so real, better than a fantasy
When we're so close together
You make me shiver
Girl, you're love is such a sweet sensation
Sensation girl
You make me shiver
Baby, when you're here with me it's fascination
You make me shiver
Ho girl, your love is such a sweet sensation
You make me shiver
Baby, baby, when you're here with me it's fascination
You make me shiver
You make me shiver
Shiver, shiver, shiver baby, quiver, quiver baby
You make me shiver
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Always screaming 'cause I'm suffering so
Life's done never such a terrible blow
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Misery, company and I'm feeling low
Trouble follows me wherever I go
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Trouble, one thing I understands
Seems to be a part of me
Misery and me go hand in hand
Never ever let me be
Sure as I'm born, one thing I know
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Always screaming 'cause I'm suffering so
Life's done never such a terrible blow
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Misery, company and I'm feeling low
Trouble follows me wherever I go
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Trouble, one thing I understands
Seems to be a part of me
Misery and me go hand in hand
Never ever let me be
Sure as I'm born, one thing I know
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Sack, sack, sack, sack, sack
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right
Rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it is rainin' all over the world
Neon signs flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy all night in Georgia
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
Rain
How many times I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes
I find me a place in a boxcar
Take out my old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right
But it's rainin' down Georgia
Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia
Sometimes y'all it just rains
Rains
One of them old slow drizzling
A Portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
Than a masterpiece
How ever famous it be
The portrait of Jennie
Is etched on my heart
Where her features have been
Sketched from the start
Ah, the color and beauty of life
And the glow of her spirit divine
All cast in heaven's own design
With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
I´ve been alone now for so long
Afraid that love would turn out wrong
Playing games with my heart
I´d find love then I´d run
Please don´t walk away from me tonight
I know we´ll make it baby
Give me one more chance to make it right
Oh, baby,please don´t walk away
I guess I´ve learned what I´ve been told
Love keeps the heart from growing old
And I´ll be there this time
Our light will never die
Please don´t walk away from me tonight
I know we´ll make it baby
Give me one more chance to make it right
Oh, baby,please don´t walk away
I cried and I worried afraid love would hurt me
I´m ready to open the door
Please listen to me ´cause this time it won´t be like
before
Please don´t walk away from me tonight
I know we´ll make it baby
Give me one more chance to make it right
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
You take me through so many moods
Midnight excitement to the quiet interludes
And just when I think I´ve got a clue
I see something new that I have never seen in you
With your eyes you ask what´s in my heart
You wonder why I love you
I don´t know where to start
´Cause no one emotion could ever reveal
All the things that I feel
No one emotion would ever do
No one emotion could ever describe
´Cause there´s too many here inside
I wish I knew the one thing it was
it´s more like a thousand things
that all add up to love
Sometimes I look when you don´t see
And a wave of affection comes a-washing over me
With your eyes you ask what´s in my heart
You wonder why I love you
I don´t know where to start
No one emotion could ever reveal
All the things that I feel
No one emotion would ever do
No one emotion could ever describe
All the feelings inside
No one emotion would be enough
I might as well try to pain with just one stroke
Or try to write a love song with just a single note
´Cause no one emotion could ever reveal
All the things that I feel
No one emotion would ever do
No one emotion could ever describe all the feelings
inside
When the sun shines on the mountains
And the night is on the run
It's a new day, it's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-born hay
I can hear God's voices calling
From my golden sky-light way
Una Paloma Blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una Paloma Blanca
Over the mountain I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing
Once they locked me on a chain
Yes, they tried to break my power
Oh, I still can feel the pain
Una Paloma Blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una Paloma Blanca
Over the mountain I fly
Every Day Baby
Every Day
I am missing you!
Every day I want to pick up the phone
And tell you that you're
Everything I need and more
If only I could find you
Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you, baby

You're the woman without a man
I'm the ring without a hand

Like a cold summer afternoon
(Cold summer day)
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you

You're the woman without a man

(I can't say no more)
I'm missing you (baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This town has no mercy
When you're on your own
When there's no one close to you
No place to call your home
In the back alley shadows
My body yearns, the pain it grows
A needle holds the solution
Feel the sting no let it flow
A dangerous game - no place to hide
I'm looking for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
I need a shot of satisfaction
My body aches - my blood runs cold
I need a killer chain reaction
That's gonna rock me to the bone
I'm burnin' inside - i'm under the gun
You got what it takes - you know you're the one
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
A dangerous game - no plave to hide
I'm lookin' for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
I can't be sure, but I think our love is slipping away,
Where did it go? The passion we had yesterday?
Was it something I've done? I can't read your mind.
Is there somebody new? Am I lovin' on borrowed time?
You hold me close, but you seem a million miles away.
That look in your eyes, the times you've got nothing to say.
I've got to know, are you really mine?
Don't torment me: am I lovin' on borrowed time?
Don't beat me up, that would be unkind,
Baby, tell me for real.
Is my mind playing tricks on my heart and soul,
To cause the way that I feel?
That when you kiss, the magic that once was here,
What used to rock our world, at times seems so insincere.
Is it too late to save? Have we crossed that line?
Let's not go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.
Just tell me, girl, where your comin' from,
You can be honest with me.
Is my heart playin' tricks on my mind this time,
Through my insecurity?
You're still my love, no matter where I our road may lead.
I guess that time will tell, if you and I were meant to be.
I wouldn't change a thing, and that's the fault of mine.
Don't let me go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.
Ohhhhh
There's a chill wind blowin'
Oooooo
I remember the days when we never had a dime
And our dreams seemed a million miles away
But we made it baby, facin' the bad times with a smile
Here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
So my lady whisper the words I love to hear
Cuddle up and I'll make you feel all right
'Cause I need you baby to carry me on through all the years
So come on baby close the door and dim the lights
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
And there ain't no one in this world tonight
Can change my point of view
So come on girl and hold me tight
The way you always do with love times me and you
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night
We got love
It sure feels good
Carry me on through all the years
People come and people go
They touch our lives and never know...
But all you can be sure
While you're regretting (you can be sure)
What you're forgetting
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Love remembers
What you forget
(love remembers)
Love remembers
(love remembers)
What you forget

I don't wanna waste your precious time
So if I keep talking, baby, you can know my mind
'Cause I got a heart disease that only you can cure
So cast you magic on the water, baby, and make this ocean pure
Ooh, when ever I sensed danger in the company of strangers
I have to find the courage enough to go
I gotta glue myself together, rise above the stormy weather
We defined this parting pleasure 'cause, baby, don't you know?
I've been lost in love
I've been lost in love
Oh yeah, lost in love
Baby, my, my baby, it's been much too long
Baby, I've been searching for a sympathetic soul
To fill my world with healing, yes, to make this good man whole
Once upon a time, long ago and far away, happiness wasn't mine
Though I prayed, it did not stay, did not stay
But still I won't surrender 'cause my heart still remembers
The memory so tender love would greet
So I ain't accepting never, 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing
Lost in love
I've been lost in love, baby
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh, yes
So I ain't accepting never 'cause if it takes forever
I'll put it back together and again my heart would sing
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long, oh yeah
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long
Lost in love
Lost in love
Lost in love
My, my baby, it's been much too long
Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks can hold
When I get to feelin' a feelin'
For something there ain't too much of
My sweet li'l darlin' gives me her love
Don't catch me chasin' round at night
I'm not impressed by glamour sights
Li'l darlin' may not be as pretty
As some other gals you can see
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feelin', it's a feelin' I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin', love is callin', why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance, why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it
Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Do it again, do it (Do it)
Let's do it again (Do it)
Mmm (Do it again, do it again)
Gonna do it again (Do it)
Do it, do it
Let's do it again (Do it)
Do it again
Sometimes the rain
Groovin' when I hear the sound
Like you and me, baby
Gettin' down with the sounds around
Oh, the smell of the mornin' flower
As we pass away the hour
I wanna do it again, do it again
Do it (Do it)
Let's do it in the mornin'
Sweet breeze in the summer time
Feeling your sweet face
All laid up next to mine
Sweet love in the midnight
Good sleep, come mornin' light
No worries 'bout nothin'
Just gettin' good, just gettin' good
Just gettin' good love
Do it, do it again
Do it again (Do it)
Do it
Now I like you, lady
So fine with your pretty hair
If you don't mind my compliments
Just diggin' on the clothes you wear
I'm just a man now don't you fear
I can love you now I brought you here
I wanna do it again
(Do it) (Do it, do it) I wanna do it again
Ooh, oh, ho, hey, do it again
Do it
(Woo, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Do it
Like a hammer on a clock
Love began to rock
Give the sister love and pride
Feel good and satisfied
I'm not a girl that could linger
But I feel like a Butterfinger
I wanna do it again, do it again
Do it, do it
Let's do it in the mornin'
Sweet breeze in the summer time
Feeling your sweet face
All laid up next to mine
Sweet love in the midnight
Good sleep, come mornin' light
No worries 'bout nothin'
Just gettin' good, just gettin' good
Just gettin' good love
Oh, hey, do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again
Do it (Woo, hoo, hoo)
Do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it again
Do it again (Woo, hoo, hoo), do it again
Do it again, do it again, do it again (Woo, hoo, hoo)
Mmm...
(Woo, hoo, hoo)
Oh, hey
(Woo, hoo, hoo)
Late at night
Late at night
when the feeling gets to hard to fight
he reaches for the phone
then stops himself afraid that he may find she's not alone
Late at night
she lies awake and holds her pillow tight
and cries his name out loud
but she would never ever call
the Lady's much to proud
two lost and lonely people
living apart and belonging together
regretting that they let each other go ohhhh
two sad and starving people
giving up the chance of forever
never letting one and other know
they still need each other so
late at night
waiting out the hours till its light
they know how wrong they've been
but both of them are caught up in believing
reaching out means giving in
so he hopes that he'll stop hurting
and she prays she'll be alright
and they both wait for the morning
late at night
two foolish frightened people
giving up a chance at forever
never letting one an other know
they still want each other so
late at night
waiting out the hours till its light
they know how wrong they've been
but both of them are caught up in believing
reaching out means giving in
and so he settle down to drinking
she takes another pill to keep from thinking
and neither makes a move to make it right
as they both wait for the morning
LADY BLUE

Poe Boy
Girls we got power, cause we got pussies
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all, in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all, in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting finger tips
And your heart will fly away
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting finger tips
And your heart will fly away
And your heart will fly fly away
So, so irreplaceable
This love is so, so irreplaceable
(All I need)
So, so irreplaceable
My love is so, so irreplaceable
(All I need)
Everyday my joys are like a waterfall
Little things you do like a simple call
And my night is something like a miracle
Baby girl, you're feeling me too
[Hook:]
Had a vision 'bout the river flowing me
In a clear blue sky
The way you found me
And wrapped around me
Angel you answered my cry
Wond'rin' to through the search
Lonely think of it
Searchin' for the best
With the comfort of your ears
[Refrain:]
Girl this time there's no mistake
You got my heart banging
Like I lead a way
More than just sensational you are
Irreplaceable
[Chorus:]
Think I wanna make you mine
Take a vow and dedicate my love to you
You are so simply irreplaceable
Irreplaceable
Love you till the end of time
Promise I'll be spending all my life
Just making you happy
So irreplaceable you're all I need
So, so irreplaceable
This love is so, so irreplaceable
(All I need)
I can see the future as I fantasize
There's a baby boy with your pretty eyes
And the little girl who makes the world of you
Baby girl, you seeing it too
[Hook II:]
Had a vision 'bout the river flowing me
In a clear blue sky
Oh my, the way you found me
And wrapped around me
Angel you answered my cry
With a view form inside
Well it must in your eyes
God made you so beautiful
Wonderin' to the search
Lonely think of it
Searching for best
With the comfort and your ease
[Refrain:]
Girl this time there's no mistake
You got my heart banging
Like I lead a way
More than just sensational you are
Irreplaceable
[Chorus:]
Think I wanna make you mine
Take a vow and dedicate my love to you
You are so simply irreplaceable
Irreplaceable

All I ever wanted was a girl like you
So take this ring and say I do (I do)
Heaven must so blessed
It's 'cause of love so rare
It's beautiful, it's priceless, it's beyond compare..
You and your smile
Hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams
But where?
Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue
Suddenly you are there
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Darling, come in into my heart
Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the gray of the dawn
And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh, where have you gone?
How long must I stay
In a world of illusion?
Be where you are
So near yet so far apart
Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been?
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
(Instrumental Interlude)
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if were in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
'Cause I only have eyes for you
I don't know if were in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
'Cause I only have eyes, I only have eyes
You're my heartbeat of life
And you fill up my mind
I wanna stay close
Close to you
It's that old lovers spell
That you weep oh so well
It's a hold, holding me
Oh you've got to see
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Around you
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you
I get so hypnotized
When I look in your eyes
Oh you can close
Control me
I feel all butterflies
When I?m right here by your side
I need your touch, can?t get enough
Love me, all you've got to see
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you
Spending every moment of my life within your gaze
My forever love to have you and to hold you
So you never ever need to use your crystal ball
To know where I?ll be, always
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you
All I want to do is hang around you
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you
All I want to do is hang around you
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever...
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever
(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from
fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose

You Are The Love Of My Life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart
You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you
You Are The Love Of My Life
The heart and sould of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home
You Are The Love Of My Life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And leave me room to be free
No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have
You Are The Love Of My Life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of
You Are The Love Of My Life
The one thing that makes sense in this world
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you
You Are The Love Of My Life
And I thank GOD I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
Hey, Girl! I want you to know,
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
And, Hey, Girl! I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die,
If you say so long, if this is goodbye. Oh!
Hey, Girl! This can't be true,
How am I supposed to exist without you?
And, Hey, Girl! Now don't put me on,
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone.
How will I live. How can I go on.
How can I go on? Hey, Girl!
Hey, Girl! Now sit yourself down,
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground,
Don't go away. Hey, Girl!
Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of...
Groovin'... down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just...
Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly...
Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (Yes it did)
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
It's hard to say I'm sorry
May we just forget about today
You see, I fly by night
I fly by night
I laid my love beside the door
And left you sleeping on the floor
So long, I fly by night
I fly by night
And though you might think
It's too bad of me
I have to leave you
With used memories
I have no stomach for the dawn
I feel I should be moving on
And so I fly by night
Now lady luck's deserted me
The ghosts of love stand clear to see
They also fly by night
Strange figures in the dark
Did Cupid strike and leave his mark?
It seems his arrows fly by night
They fly by night
Girl
Oh, baby
Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone
'Til the end of time we've taken a vow to
Keep our family strong
But we were both tryin' to grow in our own direction
Soon the magic of two meant nothing at all
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
Tell me what you want, let's get it together
No more wastin' time on what we're not
You and I should love each other forever
Family means a lot
So baby, let's make a move, find a new beginning
Set your feelin' the same way I feel tonight
Come on and give it a try (One more try)
Let's have a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause girl, it's a crime (It's a crime)
Not havin' you by my side (By my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
And now that we've been through everything, we don't have to worry
Let's put the pain of the past behind
And girl I promise you that love will always stay in our lives
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (I'm losin' my mind, baby)
Without you here in my life (Here in my life)
Come on and give it a try (Yeah, girl)
Let's have a family reunion (A family reunion)
You know it's a crime (You know it's a crime, baby)
Not havin' you by my side (I need you here by my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Let's get it together, baby
Let's get it together, baby
Together, together, together baby
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Down here on the ground
ain't no place for living
No, no, no
Down here on the ground
Watching the sparrows fly
I watch the birds
As they make their wings
Flying solid free
How I wish it were me
But I'm down here on the ground
And I'm wanting something better
I'm down here on the ground
Wanting something more
One morning soon
You will find
Some wings on my mind
To take me high
So if you hear a sound
From down here on the ground
My friends
It's only me
Trying to fly
Trying to fly
I would love to fly
Because I'm tired of being
Down here on the ground
I'm tired of being
Down here on the ground,
One morning soon
I gotta find
Some wings on my mind
Wings to take me high
So if you hear a sound
If you hear a sound
From down here on the ground
I said my friends
It's only me
I will be trying to fly
Trying to fly
Live like a bird
I would love to fly
Because I'm tired of being
Down here on the ground
Yes I'm tired of being
Down here on the ground
Come in from the cold, close the door from the hurt
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so
Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you
I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me

And It won't be long, yeah

And I'll be gone
So come back baby, yeah yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
A month of nights, a year of days
Octobers drifting into Mays
I set my sail when the tide comes in
I just cast my fate to the wind
I shift my course along the breeze
Won't sail upwind on memories
The empty sky is my best friend
I just cast my fate to the wind
A month of nights, a year of days
Octobers drifting into Mays
I set my sail when the tide comes in
I am calling you
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe' just around the bend
I am calling you, i know you hear me
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we both know that a change is coming
Coming closer, sweet release
And I am calling you, i know you hear me
I am calling you
Oooh, yeah
(Musical Interlude)
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Somewhere better than where you've been
But we both know that a change is coming
Coming closer around the bend
And I am calling you, don't you hear me
I am calling you
I, honey, I'm calling, I'm calling, I'm calling you
I know you hear me
I am calling you
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Stopped into a church now I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold now, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
(California dreamin', such a winter's day)
All the leaves, all the leaves are brown now, and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her, I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
If you ever change your mind
About leavin', leavin' me behind
Oh yeah, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I've only hurt myself
Oh, now bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah
I gave you jewelery and money too
But that's not all I gave to you
Oh, if you bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me girl, yeah, yeah
You know I'll always be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh, honey bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, you know I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out day and night
I’ll forgive you darlin’, but you better bring it on home
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring it on home to me
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring it, bring it home to me
Bring it on home to me
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
[Instrumental]
It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt, yeah!
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
Damn hey
I know you ain't tryna hear me out but
There's a couple of things I wanna get off my chest
Listen...
I know sometimes you wonder when I'm not there
You feel frustrated thinking that I don't care
Cause I don't, answer my phone
I don't, return your call
I don't, do all the things
That I, once did before
It's just the way I am, let me assure you
Baby nothing could be further from the truth
Sometimes I, be working late
Cause I, gotta write that song
Don't be, too quick to judge(you can)
That somethings wrong
I know I shouldve spend more time
That was my mistake
Girl I don't wanna change your mind
But before you go
Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
All I ever wanted, was you to stay
And before you up and leave
I just need you to see
Losing you was not a part of the plan
Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
And before you go
Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy
But please believe
All I wanted was... all I wanted was to be your man
Baby understand I never meant to hurt you
And I realized the way that I mistreat you
I'm thinking of all the things, that I could've done
Shouldve, made you believe, that, you were the one
To see you walk away caught me by suprise
I guess you meant more to me than I realized
I wish, I could go back but, what's done is done
So now I guess it's times that we try to move on
I know I shouldve been right there
That was my mistake
Girl I ain't tryna change your mind
I know it's much too late
Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
All I ever wanted, was you to stay
And before you up and leave
I just need you to see
Losing you was not a part of the plan
Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
And before you go
Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy
But please believe
All I wanted was...
All I wanted was to be your man
I thought I needed time and space
But seeing you walk away
Has made me realize this isnt
How it was supposed to be... ya yeaa
As I'm sitting here alone writing this song
Tryna figure out what the hell went wrong
I remember how we used to be baby
And everything I did that would drive you crazy
I would stay out all night
You go left and I go right
To the studio for confessionals
Sitting right by another fight
You were right
Yes I learned, did like usher and let it burn
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Make you wanna stand three little words
Looking back, it was just that easy
I'm not saying this so that you won't leave me
I just hope you hear the song and believe me
Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
All I ever wanted, was you to stay
And before you up and leave
I just need you to see
Losing you was not a part of the plan
Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
And before you go
Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy
But please believe
All I wanted was... all I wanted was to be your man
Just know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
All I ever wanted, was you to stay
And before you up and leave
I just need you to see
Losing you was not a part of the plan
Know that, I wasn't tryna push you away
And before you go
Just let me say, I'm sorry I could'ntbe that boy
But please believe
All I wanted was...
Aaaaaahhhhhh...
Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high...aaaaaaaahhhh
Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue...aaaaaaaahhhh
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...

Now it's plain to see
You put a hurtin' on me
But it's a natural fact
I like it like that,
So work out!
Yeah, baby work out (work baby, work out)!
Honey, work out!
Ah, baby work out!
Shout and turn the joint out!
Work out!
Work out!
Work all night long!
Yeah, yeah! (round and around and around and around)
Baby, round and round we go.
Don't you know, don't you know?
Round and round we go,
Where we stop, nobody knows.
The band is swinging on the stand,
We're moving in, we're moving out.
Then we'll step back now and end this dance with a shout,
So work out!
Now when I tell you to shout I want you to jump at it!
Yeah, let's shout, baby, let's shout! (shout baby shout)
Honey, let's shout!
Baby, let's shout!
Yeah, shout and turn it out, baby!
Let's shout, let's shout, shout all night long!
I gotta have it just one more time,
Now here we go!
Round and round we go,
Now work out, work out, work all night long!
Work out, baby!
Work out woman!
Shout and turn the joint out!
Work out, work out, baby, baby...
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then, I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
But then along comes Mary
And does she wanna give me kicks
And be my steady chick and give me pick of memories?
Or maybe rather gather tales
From all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is in the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor
Folks make jokes about who is most to blame today?
And the along comes Mary
And does she wanna set them free and make them see realities
From which she got her name?
And will they struggle much
When told that such a tender touch of hers?
Will make them not the same?
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Comes along, oh here she comes
Oh Mary comes along, along she comes
So here she comes along, oh here she comes
Oh Mary comes along, along she comes
Sweet as the punch, sweet as the punch
And the along comes Mary
And does she wanna set them free and make them see realities
From which she got her name?
And will they struggle much
When told that such a tender touch of hers?
Will make them not the same?
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
Then when the morning of the warning's passed
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And the Along Comes Mary
And does she wanna see the stains
The dead remains of all the pains she sent the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies
And make them realize their urgent cries for sight no more
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Cant you see
Im no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
Ill never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
Ain't that peculiar baby?
Ain't that peculiar baby?
Ain't that peculiar?
You, you, you, you, you
You do me wrong but I'm still crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love grow stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love grow from pain baby?
Now ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
(Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar baby? Peculiarity
(Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?)
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
But I'm so much in love with you baby that I don't wanna see
That the things you do and say are designed to make me blue
Doggone shame my love for you makes all your lies seem true
If truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make mine stronger, oh baby?
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
(Ain't that peculiar, peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiar as can be
(Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't it peculiar baby? Peculiar as can be
(Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Peculiarity
I know love can last through years
But how can my love laugh through tears?
I know love can last through years
But how can love laugh through tears?
Ain't it peculiar baby?
(Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?)
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? That's all I can do baby
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
Ain't that peculiar? Ain't that peculiar?
You're nice, so nice , a very special person in my life
there's just so much about you, that I like
and it's been so good to know, you've always been
there for me, when I needed a friend
and ohhh by the way, i just want to say
chorus: Anytime, anytime, anytime of the night or day
I will be just, a telephone call away! uhmmm
Alright, there might, have been some times you havn't been so nice
small things about you, that i've never liked,
but then, I still must say that I can't remember when
I havn't thought of you as my dear friend
and ohh by the way, I just want to say , chorus:
I said if you need me,
ohhhhh,ohhh, I'll always be, just a telephone call awayyyy
and if you need someone to listen too, what you have to say, yeah!
I will be just a telephone call away!
There might, be times
we just might not run across, each others minds
too busy changing, with the changing times
but then ahhhh, I know there always come a morning when
I think about your smiling face again
and ohhhh by the way, here me say!
chorus:
I said if you need me ,ohhh, I'll always be, just a telephone call awayyyy,
and if you need someone to talk too, or just to pass the time of day, I will be just a telephone call away!
A foggy day, in london town.
Had me low, had me down.
I viewed the morning, with much alarm.
The british museum, had lost it's charm.
How long I wondered, would this dream last.
But the age of miracles, hadn't past.
Then suddenly I saw you there.
And in that foggy london town, the sun was shining everywhere.

But the age of miracles, hadn't past.
Then suddenly I saw you there.
I was born by the river
In a little tent, and o
Just like that river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is 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 time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin me
Don't hang around
It's been a long time coming, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he wind up (knocking) me
Back down on my knees
There have 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 time, but I know
