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, you're man, the pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free, yeah
Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high
And lay your dreams right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep, going, going on
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free, yeah
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
hey bug are you tryin' to go to sleep? windows slam up, people slam up, radio slam up, are you tryin' to go to sleep?
This house is like Russia
With eyes cold and grey
You got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
To hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
Buried deep in my heart yeah
But my priest says
You ain't saving no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
My heart is like the ocean
It gets in the way
So close to touching freedom
Then I hear the guards call my name
But my priest says
You ain't taking no souls
My father says
You ain't making any money
My doctor says
You just took it to the limit
And here I stand
With this sword in my hand
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
If you don't like me just a little
Why do you hang around
(There she goes again
Wearing those purple panties
There she goes again
Wearing her heart
There she goes again)
Why do you
Take it
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
You can say it one more time
What you don't like
Let me hear it one more time then
Have a seat while I
Take to the sky
One of these days
And it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets of a true love
With holding nothing you came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody, 'cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
We were alone and I was singing this song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Tryin' times, what the world is talkin' about
You got confusion all over the land, yeah
You got mother against daughter, you got father against son
You know the whole thing is getting out of hand
Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
But these are tryin' times, yeah, yeah
You got the riots in the ghetto, it's all around
A whole lot of things that's wrong is going down, yes, it is
I can't understand it from my point of view
'Cause I think you should do unto others
As you'd have them do unto you
Then maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
But these are tryin' times, yes, it is
I said man is always talking 'bout it's inhumanity to man
But what is he tryin' to do to make it a better man?
Oh, just read the paper, turn on your TV
You see folks demonstrating about equality
But maybe folks wouldn't have to suffer
If there was more love for your brother
But these are tryin' times
Tryin' times, yeah, that's what the world is talkin' about
Hang all the mistletoe

Hello, little girl, little girl, little girl
Hello, little girl, little girl, hello
Where have you been?
Why did you go? Little girl, hello
You know that you're wrong little girl, little girl
I shouldn't have to tell you what's wrong
Little girl, little girl, you know that was wrong
For you to leave our happy home
Oh, baby, little woman, hello
[Incomprehensible]
Hello, would you stay little girl, little girl?
How long would you stay this time, little girl?
How long would you stay for you to decide to go away?
Little girl, hello
You don't how it's been without you, baby
Come on in, sit down
Let me tell you how it's been without you, baby
Lonely, oh, it's been so lonely, yeah
Lonely baby, hey, it's been so lonely
Why did you have to go? How long would you stay?
Hey girl
I've been watching you
The rapid beat of my heart
Means I'm falling in love with you
Why did you smile at me
Make me feel this way
Hey, girl
There's something I'd like to say
Girl, you're the stars in the sky that shine just for me
Girl, you're the sun & the moon & the deep blue sea
Cool breezes blow, open your heart & let me know
Got to know how you really feel
Got to know if your love is for real
(Like) baby buggies & spinning wheels
We're together now, oh what a thrill
Flowers that bloom & birds that sing
Come on baby, let's do our thing, yeah
Softly I tell you that I love you
& it's your man I truly want to be
Hey, make up your mind
Girl we ain't got much time
Hey girl
We ain't got a lot of time
Nothing feels better than my baby's arms
They've around me a long time
Nothing feels better than some good news
Makes you glad to face the new times
I tell you nothing's better
When there's no need to look
'Cause you know who's there
I smile the world over
When I think of the past
How we past all the test
Through the good and the bad
And that's why I wanna see it by now
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
Home is the castle you built in my mind
I'm home anywhere, anytime
Peaceful and patience, easy taken time
It's so nice to have a simple mind
I tell you nothing's better
When there's no need to look
'Cause you know who's there
I smile the world over
When I think of the past
How we passed all the test
Through the good and the bad
And that's why I wanna see by now
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
'Cause I know it's you
That's the reason I wanna stay right here
'Cause I ain't got nobody else in mind
I know it's you
No, I ain't got nobody else in mind
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I am strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know he will not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Is not filled with gladness
Of love for one another
Thank you, Lord
Said it's a long...
I said it's a long...
Heyyy, it's a long, hard road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh, doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me
Is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see?
There's no one more important to me
Baby, can't you see through me?
'Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love with holding nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'Cuz my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You' re a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone
And I was singing this song
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure."
If you want my lovin'
If you really do
Don't be afraid, baby, just ask
You know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh, and I do declare
I wanna see you with it
Stretch out your arms, little boy you're gonna get it
Cause I love you
(Baby, baby, baby, I love you)
There ain't no doubt about it
Baby, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you
If you really wanna kiss me
Go right ahead, I don't mind
All you got to do is snap your fingers
And I'll come a runnin', I ain't lyin'
Oh, what'cha want, little boy, you know you got it
I'd deny my own self before I'd see you without it
Cause I love you
(Baby, baby, baby, I love you)
There ain't no doubt about it
Baby, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you
Some day you might want to run away
And leave me sittin' here a cryin'
But if it's all the same to you, baby
I'm gonna stop you from saying goodbye (goodbye)
Baby, I love you, baby I need you, baby I want you
Don't let your neighbors tell you I don't want you
Let's get down now
I hear voices, I see people
I hear voices of many people
(Oh, yeah)
I hear voices, I see people
I hear voices of many people
Sayin' everything is everything
Yeah, oh, yeah
I hear voices, I see people
I hear voices of many people
(Oh, yeah)
I hear voices, I see people
I hear voices of many people
Yeah, they're sayin'
Everything is everything

Everything is everything
(Yes, it is)
Everything is everything
(You gotta believe it now)
Everything is everything
(Don't you know now)
I say everything is everything
Oh, yeah
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
I've learned to live for the sound of her laughter
Her sunny smile is my only light
To love her now is the sole thing that I am after
I'll make her melody my life
She came to me when I knew I'd lost the meaning
Lifted the shadow from across my way
She touched my heart with the sweet song she was singing
Brought back the sun into my days
Oh she is my lady
I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways
Oh she's my lady
The solitary reason for my days
And sometimes when my burdens just seem too overbearing
The girl turns my tears with a single sigh
She taught me love and through love we both learned sharing
Right now she's every, every reason why
Oh she is my lady
I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways
Oh, oh oh she's my lady
The solitary reason for my days, oh oh
Oh I don't have to worry 'cause she's my lady, oh
She is my lady, yes she is
And the with this goes the wonder of her ways
I'm so thankful she is my lady yes she is
My one and only reason for my days
Won't you help me say it
Oh she is my lady, she is my lady
I'm a witness, yeah oh
Magdalena sits in her chair
Speaking on the mass
She talks in splice and splinters
She laughs not breaking glass
She said that she would have me
Spirit her away
Stealing all my images
Till there's nothin' left to say
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
She tells me that she wants me
Then she tells me not to bother
She tells me that I couldn't hold
A candle to her father
She knows that she's got me
When I start to rave about
She'll justsmile and flash her eyes
And blow the candle out
Oh, magdalena
Oh, ho, ho, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Magdalena lying there
Could make a dancer stumble
Make a preacher bite his tongue
And leave him with a mumble
And if you think I'm crazy babe
Or that I'm kiddin' you
Just pay your dues and lose your blues
When she gets her tongue in you
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Well, I can't be forgotten
And I can't be ignored
You find me with my poems
And my songs
But if upon your journey
You're turning to l.a.
Won't you take this little
Red-haired girl aong?
Oh, magdalena
Nothing like the saint you are
Your love is like a razor
My heart is just a scar
Oh, magdalena
Intro:

It ain't strange but wonderful
That we...we're still friends
Ending:
Hello friend
How has it been
Ain't it wonderful
You you got a friend yeah
Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street
Whatcha gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
Little ghetto boy, you already know how proud life can be
'Cause you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy, your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
All your young life you've seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place to live
And it ain't gonna change
You're so young you've got so far to go on
And don't think you'll reach your goal, young man
Little ghetto boy you are
Little ghetto boy
When, when, when you become a man
You can make things change, yeah
Yeah, yeah, if you just take the stand
You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
You've gotta fight to make it better
Then you'll see how others will start believing to
Then, my son things will start to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better
Giving up
Is hard to do
When you really
Love someone
Giving up
So hard to do
When you still depend upon
Her warm and tender touch
Her kiss and her caress
Ooh, they used to
Mean so much
And bring you happiness
Giving up
So hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up
So hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use
But my light of hope
Is burning dim
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith
In the girl
Will bring her back to me
Ooh, whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl
Is all I got
Yes she is
And giving up
Giving up is so hard to do
Giving up
So hard to do
Giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried it
But I just can't get loose
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
'Cause you mean
So much to me
Flying Easy - Donny Hathaway
We're flying high on a velvet sky,
With the wind on our wings
Climbing easily on the breeze
We're flying easy and we do just what we please
we drink the breezes as we drink wine,and the nectar is sweet
Now the feeling we have is fun
We're flying easy drifting on a summer breeze
The trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
how happy we can be
We gather gold from the evening sun
And it's heavenly hues
And we don't have a thing to lose
We're flying easy and we do just what we choose
The trip is smooth and we gently glide
We ride the rainbow and we see to a tee
How happy it can be to be free
We float and there is no thought of time
Cause were singing of love
And the pleasure is so devine
We're flying easy not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy not a worry on our mind
We're flying easy on a breeze
Flying, flying flying
Look at me
I'm, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand
I get misty holding your hand
Yes I do
Walk my way
And a thousand, a thousand violins begin to play
It maybe the sound of your hello
Ooo the music
The music I hear
Heeeey
You know
I get misty whenever you're near
Yeah
You can say that you're leading, leading me on
Lordy, but it's just what I want to hear
Havent you noticed
How hopelessly in love
That's why
That's why I'm following you
Yes I am
Yes I am
Baby
On my own
Oooooooo
Let me wonder
Let me wonder, you didnt want to let me know
Never knowing my right from my left
My half of my love
Oooooo
Yeah
I'm too misty and too much in love
Yes I am
Baby
I'm too misty
Yeah
Misty and too much
Too much, too much in love
Yeah
One of these days
And it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone
I believe
Said I believe
Oooh yeah
Ooh baby
I believe you're trying to make a fool outta me
I said you're going 'round here with you're head so hard
I think I'm gonna have to use my rod
Casue I believe
Said I believe
Oooh yeah
I believe baby
I believe you're trying to make a fool outta me
Yeah
Alright
Oooooo
Baby, baby, baby
Last night while you were sleeping
I heard you say
Ooooh Ronny
When you know my name
When you know my name
When you know my name is Donny
I believe
Oooh yeah
Wooo baby
I said I believe you're trying to make a fool outta me
I said you're going 'round here with your head so hard
I think I'm gonna have to use my rod
I've got to know how you really feel
I got to know if your love is really real
Cause I believe
Oooo you don't want me
I said I believe
You don't need me
I believe
Oooo you've been slipping out on me baby
Said I believe
Ooo you've been doing me wrong
I believe
I believe
I believe
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, I know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone... gone... gone
whoa whoa whoa
There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach, when i reach for you
And you're starting to criticize everything I do
It makes me just feel like crying
'Cause baby, something beautiful is dying
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone... gone... gone
whoa whoa whoa
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me the way you used to do
We had a love you don't find everyday
So don't, no don't let it slip away
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone... gone... gone
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself, & you can look at others diff'rently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Every time I look into the Holy Book, I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
See those buyers and the sellers were no diff'rent fellas
Than what you & I profess to be
And it causes me shame to know that man is not what he should be
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself, & you can look at others diff'rently
Put your hand in the hand of the man from Galilee
Hey, my mama taught me how to pray, before I reached the age of seven
When I'm down on my knees, hey, I'm close to heaven."
My daddy lived his life with 2 kids & a wife
& you've got to do what you've got to do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to see you through
This is what he used to tell me...
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Ya got'a take a good look at yourself, & you can look at others diff'rently
When the summer came you were not around
Now the summer's gone and love cannot be found
Where were you when I needed you last winter, my love?
When the winter came you went further south
Parting from love's nest, leaving me in doubt
Where are you when I need you, like right now?
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed
But tomorrow will reflect love's past
When the winter came you were not around
Through the bitter winds love could not be found
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?
Oh I need you baby, I need you baby
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed,
But tomorrow will reflect love's past oh
Spring will fill the air and you will come around,
Well is it summer love that will let me down,
Seems we've weathered
Hard times we've been through
In silence I've waited
I missed you (I missed you too)
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
It's all come together
Problems we've defeated
And I'm in here, my heart in hand
You take all that I got and you need it, baby
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
You, you and I back together
Got the world in a spin
Love will last forever (Forever)
We can make it real (Got to be real)
Say you'll leave me never (No, no, never)
We can truly feel (What you feel)
I feel like getting back together
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Younger and wiser
Time has shown the way
We've come full circle
To stay (don't throw it away)
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
'Cause you, you and I back together again
Got the world in a spin
Truth is the light
It's the joy that we both share
Make love day and night
It's so easy to do when you care
Love will last forever (Forever)
We can make it real (Got to be real)
Say you'll leave me never (No, no, never)
We can truly feel (What you feel)
I feel like getting back together
Doo doo doo doo doo

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a dream for the world
peace in the rivers and everywhere
bridges of steel and love and cities that smile
gray empty faces walk by
and hands try to hide all the lonlieness
lighting a cigarette to blow time away
lost in the noise, lonely as a wind
people on sidewalks with no place to go
can they learn to understand
the world of love that I'm dreaming
the world of love
and I, I said I got a sack full of dreams
streets full of laughter and toy ballons
and people with hearts that care
who listen for love wanting the same
wanting to care wanting to share
all my dreams for the world
can they learn to
understand the world of love
that I'm dreaming
the world of love
wanting the same
wanting to care
wanting to share
all my dreams for the world
can they learn,can they learn
can they learn to understand
the world of love peace, peace, happiness
love and kindness
Our time, short and precious
Your lips, warm and luscious
You don't have to wear false charms
'Cause when I wrap you in my hungry arms
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Your hair, soft and crinkly
Your body, strong and stately
You don't have to search and roam
'Cause I got your love at home
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
In my head I'm only half together
If I lose you, I'll be ruined forever
Darling, take my hand and hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You know how much I need you
To have you, really feel you
You don't have to change a thing
No one knows the love you bring
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
I want you to do that
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Lord, have mercy
Be real black for me
(Lord help me)
(Lord help me)
(Lord help me) once more again
Your humble servant is calling on your name
(Lord help me) i've got something i want you to do for me
Help me to inspire those that need inspiration
let my life be a sign of a coming generation
(Lord help me) and i'm also asking you to help my brother
(Lord help me) he needs help too Lord
help him to know that there's a purpose for living
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples of a stream
So love me, love me tonight
tomorrow was made for some
tomorrow may never come
There are multitudes of people dying
Cause they just won't see and try to understand
From the book I read, not one but all must follow
Join the magnificent sanctuary band
There are multitudes of people dying
Their temptation hangs over the land
In fact those people should just remember his command
And join the magnificent sanctuary band
Singing in the band, talking to the man
Bringing in the sheep all over the world just as fast as he can
Singing in the band, talking to the man
Stop everything you're doing and join the sanctuary band
The Son of Man speaks of Revelations
And he's reaching, reaching out his hand
With his promise of salvation
(I just want to say I love you, I love you)
(I just want to say I love you)
You've been good to me so long that I want to say right now
(Je vous aime beaucoup)
Je vous aime beaucoup, that means I love you
Not too many times that I would pray to you
(I just want to say)
But I just want to say that I love you baby, yes I do
Of all the things, needed, needed by a man
I think you should know it's you that I need more
Cause I love you, baby
(I just want to say I love you, I love you)
Oh, I love you baby, yes I do
(I just want to say I love you)
Mmm, times haven't always been so very good for us baby, no, no
(You stood by my side)
Yes you did, whoa and that makes me love you
And baby, darlin, the road was mighty rough, mighty rough sometimes
(You held onto my hand)
But you held onto my hand
Whoa, that makes me love you, oh
Of all the things, all the things, baby, needed by a man
I think you should know it's you that I need more
(I just want to say I love you, I love you)
Cause I love you baby
(I just want to say I love you)
I said I love you baby
Just be true to me and I'll be true
I want you to be faithful cause my love is true
I just want to say my love is here to stay
Cause I love you, oh baby
(I just want to say I love you, I love you)
(I just want to say I love you)
Don't you know that I love you
(I want to say that I love you)
I try to show you baby that I love you
(I want to say I love you)
Every day true love I want you to know
(I want to say that I love you)
That I love you
(I want to say I love you)
Je vous aime beaucoup
I said I love you baby
You better believe it now
I could just sit around making music all day long.
As long as I'm making my music, ain't gonna do nobody no harm.
And who knows, maybe I'll come up with a song
To make people want to stop all their fussing and fighting
Long enough to sing along.
I believe in music.
Oh, I believe in love.
And I believe in music.
Oh, I, I believe in love.
Music is love, and love is music, if you know what I mean.
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen.
So clap your hands and stomp your feet and shake your tambourine,
And lift your voices to the sky; tell me what you see.
I, I believe in music.
Oh, I believe in love.
I believe in music.
Oh, I, I believe in love.
Music is the universal language, and love is the key
To peace, hope, and understanding, and living in harmony.
So grab your brother by the hand, let's sing along with me,
And lift your voices to the sky; tell me what you see.
I, I believe in music.
Oh, I, I believe in love.
I, I believe in music.

& i just want to take time to thank You, for my soul
Thank You, Master, thank Ya for my soul

'cause the walls of my room was not the walls of my grave

my sheet (my sheet) was not my wine (was not my wining sheet)
When love has grown
up to the point of love
when the tears that are cried
are not the sweet tears of joy
you know the sun has surely made its final dawning
when love has died
instead of growing on
when love can grow
up to the point of love
when the tears that are cried
can be the sweet tears of joy
then we'll have days that are filled with days & nights
of loving, you & me
then love will ever be growing on
when love can grow
up to the point of love
mmmm, when the tears that are cried
can be the sweet tears of joy
then we'll have days that are filled with days & nights
of loving, you & me
then love will ever be growing on
growing on, growing on
growing on, growing on
growing
The closer i get to you
The more you'll make me see
Like giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I'll try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try
Sweeter than sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With the hearts in love you find
True love
In a special way
The closer i get to you
The more you'll make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I'll try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
The closer i get to you
The more you'll make me see
By giving you all i've got
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright,
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around,
Your eyes outshine the town they do
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Emm, fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Merry Christmas
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Wish your brother merry christmas
All over the land
Yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Merry, merry, merry, merry
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
An angel whispered to me when I woke this morning
That I would find heaven by my side
And there were you angel, heaven in the morning
Laying in my arms and in my life
And I reached this decision, I love you my religion
Love is in my soul and in my life
No one could ever change my mind, oh, no
'Cause I got you here right by my side
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take you away)
If angels whispered to you early every morning
It's really something wonderful and rare
I get up in the morning feeling that forever
I have all your love and all your care
If someone tries to tells that I do not love you
Tell them they must be out of their mind
I ain't gonna let them change my mind, oh, no
'Cause I got you here right by my side
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take you away)
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh
I won't let them take you away
(Won't let them take)
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
You are my love
Make me sing la di da
You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
Darling, I, oh

You are my love (You are my love)
You are my heaven
