You and I stalkin' each other
Beatin' around the bush
You and I stuck in the weather
Somebody needs a push
Every time you decide
That the time isn't right
Every time that you hide
From your feelings your loneliness wins
Let love begin
Let the magic happen
Give me half a chance
CHORUS:
I'll hold you now
I'll show you now
I'll give you all of my love
Speaks louder that words
Let this love keep talkin'
I'll hold you now
I'll show you how
I'll give you all of my love
Speaks louder than words
Please let me in
Let this love begin
Every time you make a promise
I've been the one who waits
Only time's keepin' it from us
Love never comes too late
As I live and I breathe
You will someday believe
I'm the one that you need,
Let your feelings forget where you've been
Let love begin
Let the magic happen
Give me half a chance
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
Eddie Load up
Eddie low down
Beautiful funk
from a hole in a horn
Burnin’ it up
Burnin’ it down
Burnin’ so hot melt
the snow on the ground
Better pass the cold duck round.
Eddie got the cold duck down.

There are those who fly from the highest heights
On the wings they carry
Searching for the high they can never find
Thinking love is blind, never mind
They'll never see the forest for the trees
'Til they turn to love
Crying through the eyes of my own disguise
Came to know the truth from the lies
So, I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now
All I want is just to stand
Closer to your love
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love
If you try to fly from the highest heights
On the wings you carry
Searching for the high of your own design
You may come to find, you been blind
So, I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now
All I want is just to stand
A little bit closer to your love
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love
Closer, we could be so much closer
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
To move in closer to your love
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I want to move in closer to your love
I, don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
To move in closer to your love
Well I, don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
I thought I'd drop a line just saying
How your song's been playing?
A pretty pitter patter it lightly played
The summer rain upon my face
Like polka dots and ballerinas
You floated right between us
With gossamer and feathers
You fanned the flames portraits caught in autumn rain
Around and round upside down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding?
Playing 'round the corner
Somewhere I read a line
Just praising a book and a song
And how the world was brighter
When Betty came along
Around and round upside down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding?
And playing 'round the corner
Somewhere I read a line
Just praising a book and a song
And how the world was brighter
When Betty came along
This world was brighter
Don’t talk about religion.
Someone says I gotta run.
Quicksilver wing express, compresses time.
They’ll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.
CHORUS:
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) you run Johnny, run.
Tell them it’s easy (you’ll see it),
When your heart is light and young.
Stepchild to lead us,
The procession’s begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun.
Don’t talk about the weather.
Why the salmon didn’t run.
We’ll watch the children play, through filtered light.
The emerald green sequoias, just a statue made of bronze.
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by.
CHORUS X 2
Bright white oasis in the sun
Not like this without a single tear
We can't just walk away as
if it never happened
Our kind of love has never talked
in whispers
So if it's time to go, lets do it right
and go out loud
But not like this without a backward
glance
Did all our feeling die the moment
love was over
Well, not in me 'cause i still feel
you in my soul
So I will leave you tenderly
or bitterly
So glad you thought about it
Sometimes we need to talk about it
If there's a need please shout it
I want there to be no doubt that
This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress
By your side I could
Withstand any pressure
Oh, it is so hypnotic
I used to only dream about it
Now I don't have to doubt it
Unquestionably sure
Strong and secure that
This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress
Never believed it could happen to me
Two people living their lives as one...
'cause
This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress
I've got you and you've got me
And I know it's plain to see that
This ain't
No ordinary romance
Anybody tell me
Just what I’ve been doing wrong.
They say it’s not forever.
But forever’s less than too long.
Those doubts before
And tremblin’ at the door will fade.
When you learn to say, it’s…
CHORUS:
Never too late to fall in Love.
Just wait, you’ll find it.
Open the gate, you’re stronger now.
Just wait , just wait to fall in Love.
Many people tell me
There’s a mystery in this song.
When you hold your breath unending
Getting’ tired and weak you break down.
Hold on to you.
Your heart will know the truth one day.
When you learn to say, it’s…
CHORUS: X 1
Turnin’ ice cold night into day.
These are the words I’ve been learnin’ to say,
Never too late.
I've been afraid that I had missed the
Chance of a lifetime
And by the way
I've tumbled with romance, girl,
And I don't cry
But now I'm
Searching every star
(I go on)
Searching near and far
(every dawn)
'Til I find our one
Spirit flying high
Flying high
I'll never give it up,
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up,
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content in time
I'm gonna be content in time
And so today, I think I'll take the
Chance of a lifetime
And by the way,
I'm falling for romance girl,
And I don't mind
How much I cry
I'm reaching for the sun
(angels sing)
Love has just begun
(who would think)
Two could turn to one
Spirit flying high
Flying high
Never gonna give it up...
I want to know the places that you go when you’re all alone.
And I want to see all the secrets that you keep when you’re not with me.
And I’ll open the treasures of love deep in my heart.
CHORUS:
And I promise I’ll hold you close to me.
I’ll write you a song with words so sweet
And I’ll sing to you the melody,
‘Til you Love me.
Tell me your dreams
And every wish that I might grant for thee.
Open your heart and let me fill you up with everything you need.
And we’ll walk step by step, you and me in harmony.
CHORUS X 1
Show me the key
And I’ll write a symphony for you and me.
Words can’t explain how much your love means to me.
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole hapiness
It's all so easy
And when I thought
my flame was out
You entered in
I look around
I feel the same as before
I'm on the ground
I'm dreaming away, but you know
I would trade all of
my daydreams for
some wings
A sparrow sings
The thrill was gone
But like the summer
The spring
Will bring the dawn
And I'll be singing your song
For a wondrous new change is
Taking me up to heaven
Your sweet love -
brighter than light -
Streaking like a starship -
Your sweet love -
brightens the night -
Gleaming down on our ship
Your sweet love -
making me realize
That heaven is right
here in your eyes
I look around
It's not the same as before
I'm on the ground
But now I'm singing your song
For this wondrous new change
Is taking me up to heaven
CHORUS:
(Instrumental and Voice)
And when I thought
my flame was out
You entered in
I thank the stars
But you know as often
I thank the things you are
And all I offer
Just longs for that wondrous
new change
That's taking me up to heaven
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
I found my lucky star
Was gleaming nightly
Your love in starlight
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.
If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you.
And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on.
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green, honey or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now
When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
she's a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I've left to savor
We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
traded for a favor
Now I'm demented and I'm
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?
You don't see me.
You don't see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
you don't see me
You should go ahead.
I'm a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you're going to ahead
You're going to do what
you're going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run
You take groceries and run, too
Don't leave nothing left for me
You're running and hiding
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can't find you nowhere
I'll beat your mama,
I'll beat your daddy
I'll go to jail,
it don't make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
own time, in my own way
Cause you don't see me,
you don't see me
Say jeans, say cha, cha, cha
And yo' jeans, say cha, cha, cha
Sweetie yo' jeans, say cha, cha, cha
Talkin' 'bout yo' jeans, say cha, cha, cha
Over now for football, baseball, Sunday afternoon TV
I know you don't need to ask me where I'll be, oh yes
But when you go out to play, I may have to slip away
I'm a 49er but nothin's finer than yo' jeans
Talkin' 'bout, 'bout yo' jeans, say cha, cha, cha
Newport, Bridgeport, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Queens
Sweet mint julip afternoons in New Orleans
But when you do your sweet sashay, I'll be up and on my way
Fond of Carolina but nothin's finer than
Yo' jeans say, cha, cha, cha
Sweetie yo' jeans, cha, cha, cha
The cha, cha, cha
To yo' jeans, cha, cha, cha
Thanks to yo' jeans, say cha, cha, cha
Talkin' 'bout yo' jeans girl
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout yo' oh torn off jeans
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all
Your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells
Say lady well look at you baby
You ain't gettin' older
Just finer and finer
It's been so long my baby
So many lonely nights
I almost rang your line
To say could you still be mine
Hey, hey lady
I've never been quite the same
The same
And I go crazy, crazy, crazy
Whenever I hear your name
And say baby I guess you heard
I'm doin fine
I'm makin' lots of money now
Got stars for friends
But I, but I can still remember
When we had nothin'
Nothin but love to share
To share until the end of time
Hey, hey lady
I've never been quite the same
The same
And I go crazy, crazy, crazy
Come a little closer
Baby I don’t want a thing to block the view
Hey, I’m on a natural high
And I get this way each time I look at you
I’m on a cloud
Not coming down...
I’m a new man when I’m around you
Girl, anticipate
Each new day
'Cause I know
I'm gonna spend my time with you
Ooo, what you do to me baby
The little things you do keep me loving me you
Ooo, what you do to me baby
Everyday together just gets better
Lord, it's some kind of magic
That excites me 'bout the things you do and say
I just can't get enough
Seems I want you more with every passing day
I'm just a fool
When I'm with you
It doesn't matter where we are just hold me
Don't let go
I'll listen close
My heart is singing
A symphony of love, baby
Ooo, what you do to me baby
The little things you do keep me you
Ooo, what you do to me baby
Everyday together just gets better
Ooo, what you do to me baby
Ooo, what you do to me baby
Everyday together just gets better
Ooo, what you do to me baby
The little things you do keep me loving you
Ooo. what you do to me baby
Gonna spend my time lovin' you
Girl, I act a fool
When it's me and you
Baby, can't you see
What you do to me
You got me on cloud
And I’m not coming down
Baby don’t stop the magic
‘Cause you are my fantasy
Ooo, what you do to me baby
The little things you do keep me loving you
Ooo, you do baby
Everyday together just gets better
Got a lot
Lot of lovin‘ baby
You got my number
It's like a diamond ring it's a precious thing
And we never want to lose it
It's like a favorite song that we love to sing
Every time we hear the music
And we're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine it gets sweeter all the time
It's like a rainy night in candlelight
And, ooh it's so romantic
We got the whole thing working out so right
And, and it's just the way we planned it
Today we're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
Don't you know that we're in this love together
And like berries on the vine it gets sweeter all the time
Don't you know we're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
We got a lot of time for love forever and ever
Don't you know we're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
Tell you that we're in this love together
Why don't you find love that has broken the law
Don't you know that we're in this love together
We got the kind that brings to mind a favorite song
Don't you say that we're in this love together
We got the time that makes us all night long, hey hey
So you say that I have gone too far
That I really don't know who you are
And did you tell me that you've got to cool your feelings?
So did you say I've fallen overboard
Every danger sign I just ignored
That you never meant to put me out to sea
Ask me where I've been
Heaven knows I've sinned
Waiting in the wings and wasting time
I've been watching you
From the secret corners of your mind
Chorus:
Girl, I know the way to your heart
It's in the stars - you're destined to be my baby
Girl, I'll be so good to your heart
You'll wonder why you question to be my baby
I want to labor looking after you
I want to bless you when you say 'k-choo'
I want to touch your face and watch you while you're sleeping
And could you make a little one or two
And could you please make sure they look like you
And they could share in all the secrets we've been keeping
Have I gone too far?
Reaching for a star?
Heaven here on earth is what I crave
I don't know what to say
I get so carried away
To this dream I'll always be a slave
(Chorus 2x)
[Sax solo]
(Chorus)
[Scat solo]
So put your fears aside
??? open wide
I'm the one who knew your where and when
I'll be so good to you
I hope you'll ask me to
To take you there and take you back again

With tender smile, we bless a child
with love and light, and patron saint.
Don't let them cry, that we denied

The hurt, the need, to heal, to feed
They linger near the marketplace.
Will we deny, or compromise
tomorrow's child today?

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
It's you
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
I watch
The snow flakes fall
Against my window pane
And wonder if you
Are watching snow
Flakes too
I take a walk downtown
To where
You used to meet me
Theres joy everywhere
But all that's
Waiting there
Is just
A little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta
Sad n' lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
I hear the Christmas bell
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer
That only brings me tears
I sadly close my eyes
And say a little prayer
You'll be
Waiting there for me
I look but all I see
Is just
A little Christmas tree
Lookin sorta
Sad n' lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve
This is the season of love
But I'm as sad as I can be
Why did you have to leave me
Oh. little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta
Sad n' lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there

Tell me the reason why you say
You wanna look around
Tell me what takes you far away
Leavin' me on the ground
All of the things you do and say
Turnin' me upside down
I can't go on and on this way
Stumblin' 'round and 'round
Do do do, so won't you won't you
Come on and say it
Don't you know you gotta love me
You gotta want me
Tell me what I should say or do
How do I catch your eye
I made a goddess out of you
Ready to do or die
Gathered a thousand stars for you
Took 'em right out of the sky
Tell me you dream about me too
Tell me a tender lie
Do do do, so won't you won't you
Come on and say it
Don't you know you gotta love me
You gotta want me
Well there's a sparrow without a wing
And there's a song with no one to sing
And there's a fool on the hill who thinks
He's doin' fine
You roam the world in your lonely flight
Singin' songs in the dead of night
And everything seems to be all right
But not inside
Woo ooh ooh ooh
So tell me that you won't hesitate
Betcha we make a rhyme
We've got take the hand of fate
While we are in our prime
Come on and help me syncopate
Let your heart beat like mine
This is an easy step to take
Easy to dance in time
Do do do, so won't you won't you
Come on and say it
Don't you know you gotta love me
You gotta want me
Well there's a sparrow without a wing
And there's a song with no one to sing
And there's a fool on the hill who thinks
He's doin' fine
You roam the world in your lonely flight
Singin' songs in the dead of night
And everything seems to be all right
But not inside
Woo ooh ooh ooh
Tell me the reason why you say
You wanna look around
Tell me what takes you far away
Leavin' me on the ground
Tell me what I should do or say
How do I catch your eye
Tell me that you won't hesitate
Betcha we make a rhyme
Do do do, so won't you won't you
Come on and say it
Don't you know you gotta love me
Did you say, I've got a lot to learn.
Well don't think, I'm trying not to learn.
Since this is the perfect spot to learn.
Teach me tonight.
Starting with, the abc of it.
Right down to, the xyz of it.
Help me solve the mystery of it.
Teach me tonight.
The sky's a blackboard, high above you.
If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star
To write I love you, a thousand times across the sky.
One thing isn't very clear, my love.
Should the teacher stand so near, my love.
Graduation's almost here, my love.
Teach me tonight.
INTERLUDE
I'll use that star, To write I love you,
a thousand times across the sky.
One thing isn't very clear, my love.
Should the teacher stand so near, my love.
Graduation's almost here, my love.
So would you, teach me tonight.
I've lost all fear, my love.
Won’t you stop and take a little time out with me, just take five;
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see I’m alive.
Though I`m going out of my way,
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It`s a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
when you smile that’s much too discrete,
sends me on my way.
Wouldn’t it be better not to be so polite, you could offer a light;
Start a little conversation now, it’s alright, just take five, just take five.
[Improvisation]
Though I`m going out of my way,
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It`s a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
when you smile that’s much too discrete,
sends me on my way.
Wouldn’t it be better not to be so polite, you could offer a light;
Yesterday, just a photograph of yesterday
And all its edges folded and the corners faded sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love
A postscript to its ending
Brighter days, I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know, we know this time it's for good
And we're lovers once again and you're near me
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays, yes, today
I can say, I get a kick every time
They play that, Spain, again
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown on the ground
Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and songs were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays, yes, today
I can say, I get a kick every time
I see you gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays, yes, today
I can say, I get a kick every time
I see you gaze at me
You gaze at me, I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays, yes, today
I can say, I get a kick every time
I see you gaze at me
You gaze at me, I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves are brown tumbling down
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
I can recall my desire, every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays, yes, today
I can say, I get a kick and I'm here to say
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Careful baby
Careful darling
You got yourself
Into such a mess that
you can't get out
You made your own bed
So what the heck can you
complain about
You're seventeen but
You talk and you wiggle and walk like
you're twenty-four
Grown men weepin'
A ten point temperature
rise everywhere you go
And the fact is
BRIDGE:
You're so fine that you
fool the people
You're so fine that you're
foolin' me
You're so fine that you
fool the people
Ain't so fine when you
fool your own self baby
Look out
CHORUS:
Such a mess
It's a funny situation
Sassiness
Got you up a tree
Sticky Wicket
Must confess
It's an inside instigation
No distress
You can talk to me
Seven-thirty
Morning Mr. Price what a
day for school
Bright and early
Perfect little disguise for
the folks you fool
Midnight passion
Ain't no surprise to me what
you're comin' to
There's red light flashin'
Look out you're goin' too fast,
what you gonna do
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
Such a mess...
...no distress
You can change it baby
London bridge is fallin' frightful sound
You can hear me callin' here's your crown
In the game you make a circle just to turn around
I can recall those warm summer days
No decisions, child's play
Did they slip away?
Gone forever, gone forever
Lost to yesterday
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
As I walk down, streets full of amber leaves
I see nothing's really changed at all
We're just older now
Still together, still together
After all these years
And from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
Still together, after all these years
And from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
But from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time
My old friend
But from the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
You've been true until the end of time
My old friend
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
Some children see him
Lily white
The baby Jesus
Born this night
Some children see him
Lily white
With tresses soft
And fair
Some children see him
Bronzed and brown
The Lord of heav'n
To Earth come down
Some children see him
Bronzed and brown
With dark
And heavy hair
Some children see him
Almond-eyed
This savior whom
We kneel beside
Some children see him
Almond-eyed
With skin
Of yellow hue
Some children see him
Dark as they
Sweet mary's son
To whom we pray
Some children see him
Dark as they
And, ah
They love him, too
The children
In each diff'rent place
Will see
The baby Jesus' face
Like theirs
But bright
With heav'nly grace
And filled
With holy light
O lay aside
Each earthly thing
And with thy heart
As offering
Come worship now
The infant king
'Tis love
There's no greater crime
Than wastin' your life
On a boat goin' nowhere
When you came along
You made it safe
For love to survive
I trusted and dreamed
And you came like I knew you would
I've been 'round before
But this feels so good
I could not walk by
I knew that I'd found
What's at the end of the rainbow
There's no place on earth I'd rather be
Than stayin' right here with you
It's not about luck
I don't need to knock on wood, no no
Been 'round before
But this feels so good
Night after night
It's so hard to believe
That I wake up each day next to you
Time after time
In the cold mornin' light it's good to know
It's good to know that it's true
There's no greater sin
Than missin' your chance
But when it's starin' right at 'ya
That look in your eyes
Say everything and tells me I'm home
For once in my life
You know I don't feel misunderstood
Well I've been 'round before
Oh but this time you know it feels so sure
Been 'round before
But this feels so good
Been, been 'round before
This feels so good
You all sing
So good, so good, so good
So good, so good, this feels so good
This is what I mean
Exactly what I am talking about
This feels so good
So good, so good so good
So good, so good
This feels so good
So good, so good, so good
Intro:
When you give love and never get love,
You'd better let love depart,
I know it's so and still I know,
I can't get you out'a my heart.
You made me leave my happy home,
You took my love and now you're gone,
Since I fell for you.
My life has been such misery and pain,
I guess I'll never be the same,
Since I fell for you.
Chorus:
Well, it's too bad and it's too sad,
That I'm in love with you.
Well, you love me and then you snub me,
But what can I do ..... I'm still in love with you.
I guess I'll never see the light,
I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you.
Chorus:
Well, its' too bad and it's too sad,
That I'm in love with you.
Well, you love me and then you snub me,
But what can I do ..... I'm still in love with you.
I guess I'll never see the light,
I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you.
Ending:
Since you love me ..... then you snub me,
I prayed you'd put the world above me,
And now I ... black and blue ... scoo - doo - doo - doo ...
Since I fell for you
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Runnin' around like crazy
After our romance
Thinkin' about you baby
Have I still a chance
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna sing
I'll use my imagination
In a novel way
To create a situation
One we both can play
I'll write the story
You'll be my inspiration
Just like two actors in a play
Chorus:
Let's pretend
We're in another world
Livin' a fantasy
Let's pretend
Just another boy and girl
Falling in love
Let's pretend
Babe we'll remember when
Maybe we'll start again
Let's pretend
What we had will never end
Ooh ooh aah
I'm jumpin' right in now baby
With my body and soul
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
But I love you so
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna...
(Chorus)
Girl remember when
Do you remember when
Bring it back again
In all the love we made
I'm sure we saved some for
A rainy day
Somewhere out there, past the rainbow
Beyond the moon and the stars we found love
Now it?s ours, my lady, a gift to cherish
Sent down from heaven above
And I, I?m so thankful, baby, that I?ve got you
And I?m so glad I don?t know why
I deserve you, baby, I won?t question it
I?ll just have faith, oh
I believe that we?ll never really figure out the mystery
That?s behind all of the joy we're feelin?
I can see that some things are beyond understanding
These are the secrets of love, secrets of love
Like a feather falling from the blue sky
It twists and turns as it passes us by
Somehow it found us, now we can hold it
And make a wing if we try
And we?ll fly away, baby, no matter where
The winds of fate will take us
I believe that we?ll never really figure out the mystery
That?s behind all of the joy we're feelin?
I can see that some things are beyond understanding
These are the secrets of love, secrets of love
And we?ll fly away, baby, no matter where
The winds of fate will take us
I believe that we?ll never really figure out the mystery
That?s behind all of the joy we're feelin?
I can see that some things are beyond understanding
ENGLISH CHORUS:
She says it's me
I like it
She says it's we
I like it
She says that we
Should try it
More us more we
I buy it
And after all
She says it's
Her best of all
And does it
So why wonder
why question why
When she says
ENGLISH CHORUS
She says she's been to Corcovado
The Cote d'Azure and Monte Carlo
She says but when you think it all through
It don't compare to where we're going to
I've never been to Corcovado
But I've seen Milwaukee and Chicago
I'll go to Jupiter to be with her

Or a hot steppin' boogie.
Funk in the pocket.

What to do
When your heart is light or blue.
Get to steppin.'

Waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
Dance up on the roof?
Really touch somebody.

With a random act of love.

Everything we do with good intent
Won’t ever disappear, it only ripples into habit
Ever deep, cause it’s no accident
That you and I are here
And you and I were meant to happen

That’s like a gift unto the giver
And that’s a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE: 2
An open heart can change the world we know
Into a loving place
Reviving everything that’s givin’ in it
Every spark, another chance to grow
Let love illuminate
The place where light is dimming

There’s one thing, that i know
That’s like a gift unto the giver
And that’s a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love
VERSE 3
One simple thing,
can really touch somebody
Make somebody smile inside
What joy it brings,
to really touch somebody
Love’s a win-win heart reliever,
As good for the giver as it is the receiver.
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
CHORUS X 2
Just one thing I know,
That's a gift to the giver
Just one thing I know,
Just, let it flow like a river
Just one thing I know,
Making life even better
One thing that I know,
Flip your script
CHORUS X
One thing that I know of love
Well, love`s got a hold on me,won`t let go;
`cause it`s the real thing ba-by,
I just want you to know
that I love you all the way,
more and more each day.
I love to hear you say,`Well, loves got a hold of me too,
I know it`s true; I get that funny feeling just from being close to you.
When I listen to your heart-beat
not another sound so sweet,
Please hold my hand.`
And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin` free.
`Baby, I`m on fire,
And it feels so good
To have this warm desire
Like a woman should who`s really got
Someone to make love to.
I`ll stay right here forever with you.`
Well, I`ll be right here beside you till the end,
And kiss your eyes and cast away your troubles to the wind,
And love you for all my life,
And take you for my wife,
Please hold my hand.
And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin` free.
I can see the love light shinin`
Like a rainbow in your eyes.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Ain`t nobody here with us,
Listen to your heartbeat,
Ain`t nobody here with us.
Listen to your heartbeat,
Do you know that it was by design
How you told me, told me, told me
That you were free and it was by design
How you wiggle, wiggle, start to wiggle
When you're just walking by me
And it was by design
How you offered me
Just to walk on down the road
I think that love, love was by design
Raggedy Ann
And it was by design
Sunny fields and mansions
Just behind your eyes
Lady lace and velvet passion
Burning just behind your eyes
It was by design
How you conquered me
And on a fiery star we rose
I think that love was your love by design
Little miss raggedy Ann
Would you, could you take me?
Let me fall by the wayside
Take me in your arms
Girl, you got the way to
Make me love you
You got the way
To make me care
Like I never cared before
Got the way
Take me, Ann, let me fall
Little miss raggedy Ann
I'll be your man, if I can
Oh baby, I'm going to be
Love me, love me tender
My being surrenders to you
'Cause you know what to do
So make me, make me tremble
That will be a symbol of
The L-O-V-E's there when
We make love
We make love
Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game
So baby, be gentle
And cuddle a little with me
Then tell me tenderly
You want me, want me forever
And say there's no better love
Than what you get
When we make love
We make love
Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game
Your love is such a pleasure
And I'm so glad you found me
I'm yours measure for measure
Just wrap your arms around me
Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game
The L-O-V-E's there
When we make love
We make love
Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
There's a land where lovers dream,
Where poets dwell.
We can sail tomorrow.
There is always room for one
Who wishes well.
There are doubters who
Will be welcome too.
When you can't afford the fare,
There's a wish to borrow.
Our love,we must never doubt it.
Our love,when you think about it.
Love like our's will live a
Thousand years.
Yes,I know you've heard the story
Without end.And you're uninspired.
Still,a walk without a wish
Cannot begin,
If you wish at all,
We can conquer all-
Learn to walk and run again,
La, la la la ....
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence
of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
consequence of you
There's so many people
who can talk and talk and talk
and just say nothing
or nearly nothing
I have used up all
the scale I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
or nearly nothing
So I come back to the one note
as I must come back to you
I will pour into that this one note
all the love I feel for you
Thera are those who wants the whole show
dó-ré-mi-fá-lá-ti-dó
He will find himself with no show
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things!
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and slay bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild gees that fly with the moon en their wings
These are a few of my favourite things!
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favourite things!
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad, I simply remember
my favourite things!
Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
In my mind
Mornin' Mr. Shoeshine man
Shine 'em bright in white and tan
My baby said she loves me and
Need I tell you that
Everything here is just fine
(In)
In my mind
Excuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings, ohh yes
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Golden Gate
I should walk but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
Makin' it fine
Here in my mind
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of God
Excuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you that everything is fine
Ooh in my mind?
So, won't you get up Oriole
So, won't you get up Cheerios
Wake up Mr. Radio
[Incomprehensible] it's fine
Here in my mind
Singin' about mornin' little radio
More love
I should have listened more and listened well
I should have been your shelter in the rain
I should have touched you more and held you closer
Til I felt it melt your quiet pain
Should I have had more time to spare for you
Should have been there for you, to care for you
With more love, more love
I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers
Passing through my nights
I could have cuddled near your gentle flame
Been warmer there than in these glaring lights
Should have had more time to spare for you
Should have been there for you, to care for you
With more love, more love, more love
What would it have taken if only could have taken
My eyes off me for a while
Id have seen the hurtin hidin just behind the curtain of your smile
Oh, I swear I didn't know, which goes to show
How long it takes a man to be a man
But if I say enough
And try enough
And pray enough
And cry enough
I can still can
Have more time to spare for you
Always be there for you, to care for you
Some walk by night,
Some fly by day,
Nothing could change you,
Set and sure of the way.
There is the sun and moon,
They sing their own sweet tune,
Watch them when dawn is due,
Sharing one space.
We'll walk by night,
We'll fly by day,
Moonlighting strangers
Livin' a dream
Where things are even
Better than they seem
I wanna go
To where the lights
Inside provide the glow
You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Well, take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
You already knew
Look inside and you
Love is waiting
It's just around the bend
Waiting for you to turn the
Charm on
Oh, waiting and it will never end
Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)
What'll you do
When all the fancy dancin'
Days are through
Where will you go
When all the neon lights
Have lost their glow
You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Come take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
You already knew
Look inside and you will see that
Love is waiting
It's just around the bend
Waiting for you to turn the
Charm on
Oh, waiting and it will never end
Give it up you're overdue
Without a whisper without a chore
All without ambition that awaits 10,000's roar
The perfect vision of less is more
Awake in me lotus flower
Without conditions without a door
Me and my religion seekin' fame and keepin' score
Somewhere the vision of less is more
Still waits in me lotus flower
Those golden chimes ring in roundelay
In time chasin' pride away far away from sight
Somewhere tonight a child is waiting
Those golden chimes ring in roundelay
In time chasin' pride away far away from sight
Somewhere tonight a child is waiting
Without a whisper without a chore
All about ambition that awaits 10,000's roar
The perfect vision of less is more
Dark cloud rollin' outside my window.
Thunder rumblin' in a minor key.
It made me remember my Mama, my Mama's smile
She said mind what you thinkin' and
There are places you should
And places you should not be
Workin' on fifth round down at Shelley's
Now if you shoot six the seventh one's free.
I can't be the last one to leave here again tonight.
I was lookin' at number seven when you
Walked in and brought a light
CHORUS:
I was in the wrong place at the right time
The devil had an arm around me,
But your sweet heart found me & I must 'a been prayin' right
I was in the wrong place at the right time, child.
You took a three time loser and you turned him around
Lost and found.
I don't mean to overglorify you
Or make you somethin' that you cannot be
But if you could do me just one favor would you child
Tell me what were you doin' in heaven before you dropped in
And rescued me.
CHORUS x 1
A heart recovered.
What a sight to see.
Would you believe what your love has done for me?
You were good to me.
Tell me what were you doin’ in heaven before you dropped in and rescued me?
Must have been that something you told me
Whispered just the other day
Said that you'd be leaving tomorrow
But there's got to be some other way
To bring you closer
Can we look closer
Would you stay with me
CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly
I just can't believe that it's over
You looked at me and said goodbye
But deep inside my heart keeps on dreamin' baby
Cause there's still that look of love in your eye
When we were lovers
So close to each other
When our love was free
CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
Yes, I can love you tenderly
So tenderly
Let me love you, tenderly
BRIDGE:
Love is patient
Love is a gift
Don't you know
All this time
I have been searchin
For a love land
Where we can live, together
Live forever
Live together
Live forever
Would you stay with me
CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly
They?re sayin? stick the script
But there?s more to the book somehow
Yellin? on the corner just a waste of time
They can never know the truth in that frame of mind
Come spark the track with your gift
God bless your grits bring it on now
Cause you know there?s much more to the script
Try to lift your spirits to the very tip and
Life is worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see
See life is worth much more to me
Than you could ever
The other day I was afraid of being hypnotized
By so many people whose dreams won?t begin to be realized
But I came to know the lessons they were told wasn?t really so
But they kept tellin? me do all the things we do and you?ll be good to go
See life is worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see
See life is worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see, yeah
[Incomprehensible]
You ain?t really drivin? as long as you ridin?
With those who would steal your soul
You?ve been crippled to pieces so dig what they preach
And don?t come with that hit no more
I?m down for the cause I mean takin? a pause
Really live for the time we?re given
Baby, can?t you hear the drum?
Now listen hear it comes
It speaks of a life that?s worth living
Life is worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see
See life is worth much more to me

You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see
So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
I thought about you, last night
About you, I thought about you (2x)
It's like they use to say
You'll never gonna survive
Unless you're just a little crazy
Jump right in the game of love
Start believin' in that someone
You can really trust
CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
You're just the one for me
And I believe you'll never leave
Take care my heart and soul
Never left to take a full control
CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You, you brighten my life
So many times
And believe me
I'm so satisfied
I know I'm sure
I found what I was lookin' for
CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
Killer love
Ive been watching you
Youve been watchin too
So sassy slinky that
I felt the heat at first sight
Is this burn for you all right
You smile and start to sway
Your satin slips away
This sweet obsession brings
A torch to my dreams all night
Such a killer, such a killer love
Such a killer, such a killer love
Killer diller, killer love, killer diller
Killer love (repeat)
I wanna wo...etc(repeat)
My doctors on the phone
Asks me if Im alone
Your heart is beating strong
But fever burns in your eyes
Im concerned for you tonight
I was down to the bone I was lonely only yesterday
Didn't know I was throwin my chances away
Then you came along just long enough to see
Far beyond the fool that I have come to be
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
I was always the one who would never give anything away
If all your feeling is cool there's not much to say
When the silence got too loud for me to bear
You brought me love and taught me how to care
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE Cherish love when you use it
It's never gone they say
When you have it
It's only love, only love
CHORUS Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
There, there was a time I knew
That no matter, come what may, love
Would prevail
And then inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fear
Can true love fail
Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven't I sung to you
Of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you
CHORUS:
Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms
I know in my heart and mind
That no matter, come what may, love will survive
And love, the author of space and time
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive
And the love that heals the wound
After the war is through
Is the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you
In my music, lalala
Keeps me happy
Flowin' on
In my music, lalala
You'll be the one thing
That won't ever let me down
You'll be my piece of the pie
That keeps me alive
You'll be the reason why
I give all my props to you
Oh, Ain't nothin' new
You'll be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too, yeah
In my music 2x
In my music, lalala
Inspiration is everywhere
In my music, lalala
Keeps me breathin'
Like a breath of fresh air
You'll be my morning light
That breaks through my night
You are my bloodline
What would I do without you
Hey, I always knew
You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too
In my music, lalala
I've been waiting all alone
In my music,lalala
Comes a feelin'
Like I'd never ever known
You'll be my piece of the pie
That keeps me alive
You'll be the reason why
I give all my props to you
Oh, ain't nothin' new
You'll be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too
You'll be my morning light
That breaks through my night
You are my bloodline
What would I do without you
Hey, I always knew
You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too (2x)
Sometimes life seems
full of complications
Hard to see the forest
for the trees
Just a little brave imagination
Opens up new possibilities
So look behind your eyes
You'll be surprised at what
you see
Life is full of tricky situations
Don't get caught up
in the yesterdays
There's a something
called imagination
Even little children find a way
So put your hand in mine
I bet we'll open up the door
If we seek we'll find shining
star's design
Get out the lamp and bring
our fantasies to light
CHORUS:
We've got take a spark
And try to light the dark
And take this dream to heart
We can't let it get away
Imagine you and me
A dance in ecstasy
Believe and it shall be
It's the chance that we
should take
There's a man I know south
of the border
Who's seen the world and
never left his home
I heard him talkin' to his
only daughter
He said you don't have to
fear the great unknown
Darling in your mind
You've got the best and
that ain't all
If you seek you'll find
shinning star's design
We got the lamp that brings
our fantasies to light
CHORUS:
We've got to take...
...We can't let it get away
We'll take what's on our minds
And give it room to shine
And see what we can find
There's so much to celebrate
Imagine you and me...
...Believe and it shall be
If we only try imagination
If we seek we'll find a
magic star's design
We've got the chance to
bring our fantasies to light
CHORUS:
We've got to take...
...We can't let it get away
We'll take what's on our minds
And let the secret shine
And see what we can find
There's so much to celebrate
Imagine you and me...
...Believe and it shall be
Because there's nothing in the way
There's no greater crime than wastin' your life on a boat goin' nowhere
When you came along you made it safe for love to survive
I trusted and dreamed and you came like I knew you would
I've been 'round before but this feels so good
I could not walk by . I knew that I'd found
What's at the end of the rainbow
There's no place on earth I'd rather be than stayin' right here with you
It's not about luck . I don't need to knock on wood no, no
Been 'round before but this feels so good
Night after night it's so hard to believe
That I wake up each day next to you
Time after time in the cold mornin' light, it's good to know
It's good to know that it's true
There's no greater sin than missin' your chance
When it's starin' right at'ya
That look in your eye says everything and tells me I'm home
For once in my life I don't feel misunderstood
Well I've been 'round before but this time it feels so sure
Been 'round before but this feels so good
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home
If only in my dreams
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home, I'll be home

These are the words I say ... when I want you near to me,
From that place deep in my heart ... you will see.
I am never far away ... when you turn to every place,
When you reach out for my love ... I'll be there , yeaaah,
Chorus:
I will be here for you, baby,
I will be here for you when you're fallin',
I will be here for you, baby ... let me love you.
When the world's too hard to bear ... and you need a helping hand,
I'll be there, the one to help you understand,
If you wander far away ... Zambia or Monterey,
I'll be there ... the one to wash your tears away ... ay - ay - ay.
Chorus:
I will be here for you, baby,
I will be here for you when you're fallin',
I will be here for you, baby ... let me love you.
I will be here for you, baby ... let me love you.

Chorus:
I will be here for you, baby,
I will be here for you when you're fallin',
When you said that it was time to change your point of view
Never entered in my mind that what you meant was we were through
Jumpin' to conclusions is really not my style
And if it's just illusion it'll vanish in a while
Perhaps the pain and stingin' is only in my mind
I can change my thinkin', but my heart is cryin' 'ouch!'
Chorus:
High Crime (what you doin' to me)
That you don't love me (that you don't love me)
High, high crime (in the first degree)
That you refuse my company
High, high crime (what you doin' to me)
That you don't love me (that you don't love me)
High, high crime (in the first degree)
Drivin' in my car---it's rainin' hard
I've gotta get to ya baby
Traffic's movin' slow---it's stop 'n go
And I keep dreamin' 'bout ya baby,yeah
Now when I finally get my hands on you
We'll be makin' love the whole night through
Anything you want just take from me
And I'll take you up the mountain,cuz.....
It's not hard to love you at all
It's not hard to love you,baby
No,no not hard
Cuz,it's not hard to love you
It's not hard to love you baby
So easy...
Cuz,it's not hard to love you at all ( at all )
Girl you're lookin' good I knew you would
And I ove that dress you're wearin' (damn)
Candlelight and wine--tonight you're mine
I'm gonna show you that I'm carin'
Well all I wanna do is dance with you
Pull you close and get you in the mood
A lullaby my little guy to hush your cryin'
A lullaby you might recall when times are tryin'
And sing every day all that you're realizing
Know every song sung in lightness and Laughter
And don't play too long in the blues that come After
Take her along
Conquer your mountains again
A lullaby my little guy the moon is rising
You'll awake to see a sight that's worth the Prizing
That new morning star high on your heart's Horizon
If you're the one that always says bygones be Bygones
And when you look you've lost the ones
That you rely on
Look deep in your heart there's something to
Keep your eyes on
Cold distant stars slowly fade while you're Sleeping
And hollow guitars will be quietly weeping
So paint the skies with your bright shining
Castles in Spain
Among the things you do each day here's one
For trying
Give it all and give again and find reply in
That new morning star
High on your heart's horizon
Look it over,so much to see
Did I say you should look at me
Not just now
When I'm lookin' around
When my guard is down
Pieces on the ground
In a twinklin' and blinkin' eye
You'll be singing a lullaby
Say just how you can turn it around
When a faith is found
Even on the ground
Lullaby, now don't you cry my Suz and Ryan
So,lullaby and tell them why
There's no
Denyin' that new mornin' star
High on your heart's horizon
There's a new morning star high on your
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight, of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who have been dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together if the fates allow
Come and hang, hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Right now, now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days, days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years
We all will be together if the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
"Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
"Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands
Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to Heaven I'll look for
Her home is a jungle
A struggle to survive
Her street's too
hot to handle
Makes your blood
run cold as ice
But there's no evil
strong enough...oh no
Her faith in love will rise above
Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
golden girl
Her heart cries out yearning
For those without a prayer
But the dues she pays unending
Is the cross she chose to bear
And there's no evil
strong enough...no no
Her faith in love will rise above
Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
golden girl
And there's no evil
strong enough...no no
Her faith in love will rise above
Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
golden girl
Won't you keep on,
won't you keep on
Won't you keep on,
won't you keep on
Keep on, keep on shining
Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
CHORUS:
THIS ONE

THERE ARE NO EXTRA PEOPLE
IN A MANSION OR A GHETTO

Go away little girl
go away little girl
i'm not supposed to be alone with you
i know that your lips are sweet
but our lips must never meet
i belong to somebody else
and i must be true.
oh go away little girl
go away little girl
it's hurting more the longer that you delay
when you are near me like this
you're much too hard to resist
go away little girl
before i beg you to stay.
i know that your lips are sweet
but our lips must never meet
i belong to somebody else
and i must be true.
go way little girl
it's hurting me the longer that you delay
when you are near me like this
you're much too hard to resist
go way little girl
We made it through
The stormy weather
We promised we would
Stay together
We fell out of harmony
Singing Auld Lang Syne
But I've just found a
4-Leaf clover
So blue the sky all
Over me and you
We are a symphony-
A sunny valentine
Don't resign
Gimme what you got, babe
And I'll be satisfied
Gimme what you got, babe
And love will turn the tide
Gimme what you got babe
And always sing keep loving me
Forever more
We made a ship to sail the seasons
To conquer all the waves and reasons
Why we never touched the shore
Or found the treasure you adore-
Love's so fine
Ahead of us is stormy weather
We'll cuddle up and stay together
Finally a symphony (will sing)
And sing it one more time
Don't resign
Gimme what you got, babe
And I'll be satisfied
Gimme what you got, babe
And love will turn the tide
Gimme what you got babe
And always sing keep loving me
Forever more
Gimme what you got, babe
And I'll be satisfied
Gimme what you got, babe
And love will turn the tide
Gimme what you got babe
And always sing keep loving me
Some walk by night
Some fly by day
Nothing could change you
Set and sure of the way
There is the sun and moon
They sing their own sweet tune
Watch them when dawn is due
Sharing one space
We'll walk by night
We'll fly by day
Moonlighting strangers
So close and yet so smart
Head first before the heart
Ain't no shame
Ain't no game
With the flame
Coldwaters rush in March
No place for April flowers
Take her name
Say she came
With the flame
I've been told when the stars all align
That even bitter lips like mine
Will call the moon a friend and kiss again
Some I'm told let their hearts read the signs
While other men are hungerin'
And can't let it in
Be still my foolish heart
Please don't upset the cart
Stay the same
Ain't no game
With the flame
I've been told I'll be dancin in time
Walkin' rhythm', talkin' rhyme
The earth will turn and send the sun again
All my gold for a light or a sign
Some kind of kin to say my friend
Let it out - let it in
Strange fire down below
So 'fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start the game
With the flame
[Vocal interlude]
Strange fire down below
So 'fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start again
With the flame
Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Get up in the morning and i see your smiling face
Feels like a dream
I’m wide awake
It’s just too good to be true
That’s what i’m thinking when i’m loving you
Lay down every evening and your by my side
Staight from above into my life
I pray the lord my love to keep
When we’re together i’m in ecstacy
Chorus:
girl you take my breath away
and if there was one word to say
What it’s like bein’ with you
I guess the word heaven, would have to do
And heaven’s where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, so plain to see
Just touchin’ me, feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me,
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me
Baby, you’re an angel,
And your love is so divine
Pure and supreme,
Gets better all the time
Your tender kiss, i can’t resist
Never thought nothin’ could feel like this
Maybe you could tell me somethin’ that i wanna know
Like how d’you get so far from home
A little bit of paradise
That’s what i’m seein’ shinin’ in your eyes
Chorus x 1
I can’t control the love i feel
(bg: i can’t control the way i feel
your love’s the highest high)
It's the highest high
(bg: if i could ever change a thing
don’t think i’d even try)
Oh, don't think i would try
(bg: cause this is pure, it’s love divine
and i know that this is real)
Cause i can see the change in me
By the way that you make me feel
Feels like heaven to me.
Feels like heaven to me.
Chorus x 1
Take my breath away
There’s just one word to say,
What it’s like bein’ with you
i guess the word heaven, would have to do
Heaven’s where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, it’s so plain to see
Just touchin’ me, feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me.
Nitakungodea Milele
Nitakungodea Milele
These are the words I say when I want you near to me
From that place deep in my heart you will see
I am never far away when you turn to every place
When you reach out for my love I'll be there , yeaaah
I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you when you're fallin'
I will be here for you, baby let me love you
When the world's too hard to bear and you need a helping hand
I'll be there, the one to help you understand
If you wander far away Zambia or Monterey
I'll be there the one to wash your tears away ay - ay - ay
I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you when you're fallin'
I will be here for you, baby let me love you
I will be here for you, baby let me love you
Nitakungodea Milele
Nitakungodea Milele
I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you when you're fallin'
I wonder how do you do?
And should I come back to you?
I've been thinking
I wonder how do you do?
And should I come back to you?
I was lonely, sad and so distracted
I took a highway
It was the low way in disguise
There because only
My love had chain reacted
There was a detour 'long the way
With a soft shoulder toll to pay
Leaving me a lonely
Sad and so distracted
I was a lonely, so sad and so distracted
Taking the freeway, but when I broke free
I closed my eyes
Mama, please hold me real close
'Cause I've been fractured
There was a detour along the way
With a soft shoulder toll to pay
Leavin' me a lonely
Sad and so distracted
Notice the teardrops
Running down on my cheek
Notice the laughter
Making it loud's a good disguise
I'm taking my heartaches
For a little ride on main street
There was a detour 'long the way
Just another heart that stalled today
Leaving me a lonely, sad and so
Distracted, play your horn, play on your horn
There was a detour 'long the way
Just another heart that stalled today
Leaving me a-lonely, sad and so
Distracted
I was lonely, sad and so distracted
I took a highway
It was the low way in disguise
There because only
My love had chain reacted
There was a detour 'long the way
With a soft shoulder toll to pay
Leaving me a lonely
Could you believe in a dream when I tell you that it's true?
Could you believe precious friend of mine?
And would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do
Give you courage to carry, give you courage to carry
Courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high
I saw people in trouble, yes heard the angels cry
Now don't tamper with my children, no, no, made the devil fly
Spent the night with David, he taught me what to say
I was looking for a smooth stone when I heard him pray
Could you believe in a dream when I tell you that it's true?
And could you believe precious friend of mine?
And would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do
It'll give you the courage to carry, the courage to carry
Courage to carry your freedom up on high
Go 'head and carry your spirit up on high
Oh, I could sing at times and reasons
Reason to lay your burden softly down
Kings and Prophets did for freedom
Precious dreams imprisoned underground
Well, I've got this song that I'll sing
And I'll make the mountains ring
Tell my mama that I am homeward bound
Could you believe in a dream when I tell you that it's true?
And could you believe precious, precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems you are glad with what you do
It will give you courage to carry, give you courage to carry up
Just to carry your spirit up on high, Lord
Just to carry your spirit up on high, up on high
Oh yeah, can carry up on, carry
Oh I make this promise, my Lord, I'm gonna carry
Ooh, and I promise to look for that little light
Little bit of light, gonna look for that light
Gonna look for that light bit of light when my heart is in trouble
Oh and I make this promise to look for that light
Little bit of light when my man is worried
You see the same night that brought the children through, yes it is
And it's the same night that brings the spirit through
He'll believe, gonna believe, I'm gonna believe
Don't you believe, I'm gonna believe, I'm gonna believe
Yes, I do believe, oh yes, I do believe
I'm going to believe, I'm gonna believe y'all
And I gotta believe, I gotta believe, I gotta believe
My better taught me to believe
My mama taught me to believe
And I believe, and I believe, I believe, I believe
Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe
Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe
Just believe, just believe, just believe, just believe, oh my friend
Try it out one more time, try it out my son
Now you know
You know just how the whole story goes
Just against the real and the proudest who laugh
Thought i let you know what i'm giving back
Confusion, Difussion
Just show it, You know it
Come'on you can discover (Discover)
You know you can recover (Recover)
You'd be (arriving)
At new (Horizon)
It will be (Surprising)
To me (Keep rising)
Keep rowing (Keep rowin')
Keep showing (Keep showin')
Keep it true and strong in your heart
And you'll get by
But only if you'll make it real
Real, Make it real
We live the lie, deny the love
Hangin' on, with a push and shove
Possession is the motivation
That is hangin' up the whole damn nation
Looks like we always end up in a rut (everybody now!)
Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs
Twisted children killin' frogs
fool dumb bigots gainin' power
Tired old ladies kissin' dogs
Isn't the human race above them all? (I can't use it!)
Try to make it real — compared to what?
The President, he's got his war
Still don't know what it is for
They change the game with no rhyme or reason
Drop the mans flag ang they call it treason
We're chicken-feathers roasting like a nut (ooh baby now)
Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
Church on Sunday, sleep and nod
Tryin' to duck the wrath of God
Preacher's fillin' us with fright
He never wondered if he's really right
Iv'e got a fire buring in my gut (I can't kill it)
Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
confusion, difussion
Just show it, you know it
Discover, recover
Surprise'm, keep rising
Surprise it, realize it
Keep rowin', keep showin'
Keep show'em, keep flowin'
Come'on with me baby bat this
And you'll get by
And you'll get by
But only if you'll make it real
Make it real...

Winkin' at me, makin' my fires fly
Brought me romance, taught me to dance
Makin' me win, makin' me grin
Schoolin' me
Breakin' away
Your love has opened eyes that couldn't see
Breakin' away

As long as I'm here, bring me some climbing boots
Open the door, give me some more
Fasten me in, loosen the pin

Guess we beat these black and blues
I need somebody
I need somebody
I need somebody
And when I think of Alonzo, he was king around the bay
And he'd come sporting and flashing, hearts would drift away
It could be he had a dream, came upon the scene
Where the lamb and lion play, he watched them play
How could he start to school her, to rule her with feet of sand and clay?
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
[Inaudible]
It could be he had a dream, came upon the scene
Where the lamb and lion play, he watched them play
How could he start to school her, to rule her with feet of sand and clay?
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven
Don't you know Alonzo put out his hand one day?
Don't you know Alonzo lifted up his head to pray?
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
Warm your heart so warm the sun
Warm your soul and by the way
Welcome, Alonzo, welcome, Alonzo
Welcome, Alonzo, welcome, Alonzo
So good to see you, you're welcome, you're welcome
All of my love
No ones ever held me like you hold me
No ones ever touched me in this way
But Im not runnin anymore
Never felt this way before
All of my love I will give to you
All of my dreams will be comin true
In the heat of a tangled kiss
Say you will and I promise you this
All of my love I will give to you
All that I ask is you love me too
Take a look, Im never far behind
Turn around and gimme gimme gimme a sign
I will put my feelings into one place
Center my emotions on your face
I could spend a lifetime sharin night time
Cause when you're lyin close to me
Somethin tells me that you need
Chorus
So, be my lover, be my friend
Say this love will never end
Want no other in my life
Our forever starts tonight
All of my love
Oh yes
You oughta get comfortable.
We gonna get busy.
Say good-bye to the late, to
the great Mr. Nice Guy.
Do or die, I’m (gonna) open your eyes.
Start a wild, wild fire inside ya’ baby.
Undecided, heart divided.
Wonderin’ how should, you ask me how long
You can fight it, but tonight it’s all about how strong.
CHORUS:
I’m gonna hit you with all I got.
Get ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.
You’ll be so pretty.
Church in the mornin’,
But for the moment it’s alright,
Yes, it’s on.
East or West, full of stress.
Troublin’ reaction.
I'll never rest,
‘til I get your request for some attraction
CHORUS 2:
I’m gonna hit ya with all I got.
I'm gonna hit you,all I got.
Close your eyes, all I got.
Can you imagine.
The radio be singin’, uh-huh, uh-huh.
All I got.
Be ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.
We’ll be shoulder to shoulder,
Over & over it’s alright,
Baby.
VAMP OUT
Baby, baby, the talkin’ time is over.
Now we got to hurry to the real thang.
Didn’t we let the season go rollin’ right by.
What’ve we got to lose by givin’ it all we got.
We gonna come out the winner, believe it or not.
Just rally around the funk and say I love ya.
Baby!!
Goin’ in through the window, stayin’ through the summer.
Woe unto the woman that’s startin’ to doubt.
All I got.
All I got.
All I got.
Your love is rain,
my heart the flower,
I need your kiss or I will die
My very life is in your power,
will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky
Eager and waiting for you, wonder if you're waiting too
All of my senses on fire, wonder if you feel desire
Anxious and praying for you, my love
For you, my love, when we're apart
Heart in my hands, I go on
You in my heart, I am strong
Anxiously waiting for you, my love
For you, my love, when do we start?
Across the midnight sky, eagerly I fly
All I feel is desire, desire for you
Open up your heart, make the magic start
Even while we're apart, I burn for you
Do you begin everyday thinking that while we're away
Misfortune might get in our way, my love?
Come stay, my love
Reach for the stars
Across the midnight sky, eagerly I fly
All I feel is desire, desire for you
Open up your heart, make the magic start
Even while we're apart, I burn for you
Can't you see that I'm anxiously waiting for you, my love
For you, my love?
When do we start?
Across the midnight sky, eagerly I fly
All I feel is desire, desire for you
We're racing with the moon, morning comes too soon
We can make it if you feel like I do
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breakin' me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Any time she goes away
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Would you like to come along
We can sing a simple song
If you want to name the tune, you're invited
I'm so glad that you're my friend
Did I say I think we'll win
Though the fight is so often one-sided
Can we sing that part again
All about how we will win
Gotta know how in the end nothin's dyin'
And the ribbon in the sky
Is the vision in your eye
Let's get lost in... stay lost and refine
The art of flyin'
Chorus:
We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high trusting our dream
To forever
We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high in every dream
Makin' heaven
What a day for breaking through
What a day for seeing you
Do you remember how we said
Nothin's dyin'
And the love of which I sing
Is like the phoenix on the wing
We started,we parted, we found
We're fond of flyin'
(Chorus)
Speaking of warring nations
Talk of broken heart relations
Set me down in revelation's light
So that I might
That I might find a way to tell you true
Miracles redeeming you
{Scat solo]
(Chorus)
We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high trusting our dream
To forever
I will take my time this time
I'm gonna make a
rhyme this time
I'll ring the bell this time
The dreaming's over
I'm gonna sing "Gotta Wing" this time
I've no sweets to sell
This time
The scheming's over
I'm gonna be only me this time
Most unfortunately, my dreams
Never knew the ground
Every mirror I see, reminds
Me you're not around
I let you down
All my stories tell, this time
The dreaming's over
I'm gonna bring everything
This time
(Guitar Solo)
Most unfortunately, my dreams
Never knew the ground
Every mirror I see, reminds
Me you're not around
I let us down
I will ring the bell this time
The dreaming's over
I'm gonna sing "Gotta Wing" this time
I will take my time this time
I'm gonna make a rhyme this time
I will make a rhyme this time
hip horray for true love that's unconditional
just your baby, no pistol by your side
nothing wrong with a love of god traditional
making bridges or shoestrings all with pride
silver and gold obsessionals
pilfering's become an art
war and deceit professionals
and it breaks my heart, or am i just.
one more late, great dinosaur.
hip hooray for the solid citizensational
hale to caesar and praise to God on high
i'm working hard but i got two weeks vacational
made me mad when melodic music died.
i've heard the forest weeping
rivers that cease to roar
gone with thy brothers keeping
and it melts my core, or am i just
one more late, great dinosaur.
i'll keep the watch the waiting
you'll help me keep the door
the witness participating
so it breaks no more, or am i just
one more late
one more great
Everyday you're walkin' by
And I can see
How you shine
Here I am alone with nothin'
But a dream
That you are mine
Just exactly what I'll do
I don't know baby
But I gotta find
A way to reach you
Tell me what I gotta do
To get to your house
Tell me where I gotta go
To be with you
Tell me what I gotta say
To speak to your heart
Tell me what I need
To know tonight
So everything will be all right
Every night I wonder
Just how it would feel
Close to you
I imagine that this
Fantasy is real
You love me too
Got to get from here to there
Here and now baby
Open up your arms
And let me love you
Tell me what I gotta do
To get to your house
Tell me where I gotta go
To be with you
Tell me what I gotta say
To speak to your heart
Tell me what I need
To know tonight
So everything will be all right
Got to get from here
To there
Here and now baby
Open up your arms
And let me love you
Tell me what I gotta do
To get to your house
Tell me where I gotta go
To be with you
Tell me what I gotta say
To speak to your heart
Tell me what I need
To know tonight
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice,
warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
rising to a snowy height.
Each star it's own aurora borealis,
suddenly you held me tight,
I could see the Midnight Sun.
I can't explain the silver rain that found me
or was that a moonlight veil?
The music of the universe around me,
or was that a nightingale?
And then your arms miraculously found me,
suddenly the sky turned pale,
I could see the Midnight Sun.
Was there such a night,
it's a thrill I still don't quite believe,
But after you were gone,
there was still some stardust on my sleeve.
The flame of it may dwindle to an ember,
and the stars forget to shine,
Or I may see the meadow in December,
icy white and crystalline.
But oh my darling always I'll remember
when your lips were close to mine,
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
We're walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married? We'll say, no man
But you can do the job while you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll be walking in a winter wonderland
(In a winter)
Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland
Walking
(In a winter)
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other children knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose be, be so chilling
Frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll be walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll be walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle
Hand-me-down books and shoes
They brought the yule tides in July
I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
Strolling for miles to a movie show
Singing a song "Shoobedoo"
While birds and rich folks flew right on by
But we got by, we got by
We got by, Lord knows we got by
Winter wishes wait till June
We brightened July with that hot dog fun
Tell your mama you're with Sue
You bring the beans and I will find the wine
Them neon lights were bright till 2:00
And sneaking back home with this girl named Jo
I hurried down to say I do
And stared my first man-child in the eye
But we got by, we got by
We got by, Lord knows we got by
Sometimes I say
And now baby's got his bellyful y'all
And finally here's that new bicycle
Working, praying, June to June
And mama's got L.A. gleaming in her eye
And we got by, we got by, yeah
We got by, Lord knows we got by
See we kept on walking and talking and hawking
And ooing, and cooing, and wooing
Loving, and tugging, and hugging
And a rubbing and sugging, and fugging
Laying, praying, swaying, letting
And fretting, and betting, begetting
Lying, and flying, and trying
And dying, and sighing
We got by, yes, we got by
We got by, yeah, let's now help me sing
By and by, by and by
By and by, by and by
Oh, we gonna sweet, sweet by, and didn't we get there?
By, by, by, by
Thank you mama provided, thank you papa
In her own sweet world
Populated by dolls and clowns
And a prince and a big purple bear
Lives my favorite girl.
Unaware of the worried frowns
That we weary grown-ups all wear.
In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She’ll grow up & she’ll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear.
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
but then so will I.
Earrings made of shoestrings
Barbie dolls with blue jeans
Makin' cross eyes
Shakes me when I'm sleepin'
Did you ever see
A kitten with an apron on
Stop 'n start his stereo
When she knows her brothers down the hall runnin' 'round and skippin' 'round
Because she's so,
She's so inspired
Then she's tired
Please put me jammies on
Daddy look at the rain
Can I go and play in the rain
In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
1] When it appears your love is finally on the line
And you can't hold it back much longer
And when it seems as though you're runnin' out of time
That's the time you should be stronger
Well, if you care about her
Don't you ever doubt her love
Would you turn around and throw it all away?
Just let her know today
R} That it looks like trouble in paradise
And you're burnin' love that's cold as ice
Go out and find a flame
So you can warm it up again
When it looks like trouble in paradise
And you're burnin' love that's cold as ice
Go out and find a flame
So you can warm it up again...
2] May you always have somebody to depend on
And may your days be celebrations
And may there always be an angel on your shoulder
To help the awkward situations
And if you love each other
You'll never need another love
When the whole wide world has finally got you down,
She'll still be around
R} When it looks like trouble in paradise
When you're burnin' love that's cold as ice
Go out and find a flame
So you can warm it up again
When it looks like trouble in paradise
And you're burnin' love that's cold as ice
Go out and find the flame
Come to me, whenever you're in time of need
I won't melt away like a fair-weather friend
On me you can depend
If I may, I'd like to take this time to say
I'll be by your side 'till the sun grows dark
And the moon brings light of day
Oh it's me for you and you for me that's how it's got to be
Though fainter hearts may come and go
Here's one thing you'll always know
Through it all, you can depend on me when tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all, I will ease your pain when sorrows comes to call
Oh, through it all
When you say you've never been loved quiet this way
I have to smile and take credit for being
The first to truly say
Oh, through it all a spirit that's brighter by far
Then all of the stars that shine through the night
You glow with heaven's light
Oh, it's me for you and you for me that's how it got to be
Though love affairs may come and go
Here's one thing you always know
Through it all, you can depend on me when tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all, and I will ease your pain when sorrows comes to call
Through it all, through it all
No empty promises you can be sure
We've both been down this road
And this time it's so much more, so much more
Through it all, through it all
Through it all, I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call I will stop the rain
Through it all
I'll be here beside you
The pain and rain can't hide you
I'll be here beside you
[Incomprehensible]
I'll be here beside you
The pain and rain can't hide you
I'll be here beside you
Now it was a hot sticky morning
'Round the Fourth of July
The breeze was standing still
I'm hanging out by myself
And I'm having a good time
With the folk inside my head
And you know, Lord,
how you did a lovely thing
See, times my head is lighter
than it's ever been
And anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Don't want pumpkin again,
no, they don't want
'Cause it don't taste right, no
Look-a-here city boy with your
silks and braided hair
Don't you let nobody fool you
with no imitation nothing
Tell 'em, say, unh, unh, buddy,
I been there
Listen mama, when you
finally walk on in
Don't forget to bring along
your sweet potato tin
'Cause when you serve him
a slice of your sweet potato
Sin, girl, he won't want pumpkin again,
no, he won't want
Now I took a trip down to Sissy's
She's a friend of mine
She smiled and asked me in
Well, she drew a box and a big,
fancy question mark
Said, "Brother, which one is you in?"
I told her, "Sister, don't worry
'bout the mule going blind
You just sit in the wagon and
hold on to the line
'Cause anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Don't want pumpkin again,
really don't want"
Now I saw the gates
gold and pearl
And I sat right down
in a dream of you, old friend
I'm thinking some milk and
honey and a pot of stew
Might fill that gap again
You know, I'm a thankful
witness to the things I've seen
And times my head is lighter
than it's ever been
And anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Really don't want pumpkin again,
no they won't want
Would you give me some
Susan wants to take me
to a party over yonder
Susan wants to take me
to her heart
It's a arm and tender place there,
do you know
Susan, I've been living here
in this fortress
And it's filled with armor
And sometimes celebrations
lose their charm
Susan do you mind,
sometimes I'm restless
Rolling on the floor in pain and woe
After all the precious gifts you
will gladly give to me, girl
I may blindly lock and bolt the door
Baby, sweet baby
I'll truly love you through my years
Well it's just that sometimes
by midnight light
I'm frightened by my fears
But if you could just hold me,
warm me, girl
The way you did today
And tenderly anoint my eyes
Then I may see the way
Susan, baby, take me to that party
'Way over yonder
Tell me, Susan, do you mind
Come on, Susan, take the time
Tell me, Susan, do you mind
If I've been blind a long time?
I been blind a long time
Sometimes, see, if you're
not careful
A little hurt, pain in your heart
Will make you blind
Blind to the real thing, once
it comes along
Honey, can you wait, baby
Can you wait for me, till I
get this thing together?
I been blind, I been blin,
blind a long time
Sweet Susan, take the time, girl
Susan, can you understand
If I say I love you, baby
Tell me, Susan, mama,
do you mind?
I've been walking on a tight rope
Ever since I made up my mind
And I'm swaying with the wind
From my left to my right
Everyone's pretending
They don't wanna see me fall
But I never let 'em touch me at all
Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I've been staring out my window
Ever since it started to rain
And the raindrops look like teardrops
On my windowpane
I'm so tired of waiting, waiting
For the sun to come around
Gonna button up my coat
And head downtown
Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud
Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They cant hear me
When I cry out loud
Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
Step by step I'll follow you
Everywhere you roam, whoa
Step by step I'll follow through
Comin' to bring you home, whoa
I keep reachin' out for you
Wondering if I'm touchin' you
You say "Yeah"
But when it's on the line
You are nearly mine
Then you're off and gone
Again, ooh
Lady be kind
Lady be mine
Lady divine
I adore you
Give me a sign
Where is it goin' to
Will of the wisp
Maid of the mist
Forever and ever
Waitin' for you
My name on a list
I never did this till you
Step by step I'm keepin' time
Lady it's runnin' low, whoa
Step by step just makin' time
And I want to make it grow
Whoa
There's a diamond in the sun
There's somebody for everyone
There's a movie that you know
That makes you smile
Love ain't everything
But girl we should try it
For a while
Lady be kind
Lady be mine
Lady divine
I adore you
Give me a sign
Where is it goin' to
Will of the wisp
Maid of the mist
Forever and ever
Waitin' for you
My name on a list
I never did this till you
My father told me it's okay
To be lonely
Just don't be taken for the fool
I sit here waitin' anticipatin'
I think I broke my daddy's rule
Let go and let it be 'cause
I can't bear to see
Us lose the best we ever had
Lady be kind
Lady be mine
Lady divine
I adore you
Give me a sign
Where is it goin' to
Will of the wisp
Maid of the mist
Forever and ever
Waitin' for you
My name on a list
There is a way to make
sweet feeling last
There is a way to be
sheltered when the wind is free
There is a way my father
taught me how to sing
And I sing my song every day now
And it won't take much
of your time
Really won't take much
of your time
No, it won't take much
of your precious time
Just to get the spirit deep
in your bones
You really got it, talking
about the spirit
You got it, deep in your bones,
you really got it
There is a way to make the
mountains cry
Suh a way to be comforted,
sweet mystery
There is a way my father taught
me how to live my life
And I do that every day
There is a way to make
sweet feeling last
There is a way to be
comforted, sweet mystery
There is a way my father
taught me how to do it
Do it to it, when I
I CLEARLY RECALL THE MOMENT
YOUR FACE, THE RAIN N' PARIS.....A DISTANT BELL
NOW INSIDE MY HEAD I STILL RECALL THE MOMENT
THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID...AND NOW
ONLY NOW -- IF SOMEHOW I WERE YOUNGER...
NIMBLE LITTLE FINGERS REMEMBER EACH MELODY....
MELODIES AND DAYS THAT I ADORED...FLOWER VASES,
CATHEDRAL DOORS.
SO LONG TO SAILIN'....SAFE BY MY DOOR....
SUNNY PLACE INSIDE....COMFORTING'S ALL PAID FOR.
TOO LATE FOR SOME CHANGE OF MIND...
OH, HOW WOULD I EVER FIND ME?
THROUGH RAIN AND CRYING YOU WERE SAYING....
EVERY HEART IS SAFE INSIDE A PLACE THAT
MAKES AND SHAPES THE CHANGINGS
MAKE THE CHANGE...SAIL AWAY BEYOND THE WISHING STAR..
DREAMERS GETTIN' ARMOR
FROZE IN THE ATTITUDES (ALTITUDES)
TOASTING THE LATITUDES
OLD EMPTY PLATITUDES...TOSSING, TURNING,
FREEZING AND BURNING
COMIN' AROUND, SETTLIN' DOWN,
COMIN' AROUND, SETTLIN' DOWN, COMIN' AROUND
ICE CREAM AND THUNDER...NIGHT BEASTS AND BUTTERFLIES
MOST MORNIN'S I'D SETTLE FOR A LITTLE RAIN
I'LL LET IT IN AND LET IT OUT, I'LL BLOW IT OVER....CODA
START ALL OVER AGAIN...MAKIN' THE BITTER END A FRIEND
PLAY THAT RESTLESS MELODY FOR ME AGAIN
THE ONE I'VE BEEN, BEEN SO AFRAID OF...MY SWEET FRIEND.
MAYBE THE LITTLE REFRAIN -WILL-WHISPER INSIDE THE RAIN
AGAIN
PLAY THE ONE WITH ALL THE CHANGES
SOME LULLABIES FOR SLEEPING
A LULLABY FOR WEEPING
AND ONE TO TEACH MY HEART TO FIGHT AND WIN
SINGING A SAILIN'....SONG
SUN SONG
DAWN SONG (AND ETC.)
NOW INSIDE MY HEAD I STILL RECALL THE MOMENT
THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID...
I LIVE INSIDE THE MOMENT
HEARING SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID....
HOW STILL INSIDE THE MOMENT,
THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID....
REMARKABLE AND WONDERFUL
wedn'sday morning at five o'clock
as the day begins
silently closing her bedroom door
leaving the note that
she hoped would say more
she goes down
the stairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
quietly turning the backdoor key
stepping outside she is free.
(we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving
(sacrificed most of our lives)
home
( we gave her ev'rything
money could buy; bye bye)
something inside that way always denied
for so many years
she's leaving home; bye bye.
father snores as his wife
gets info her dressing gown
picks up the letter that's lying there
standing
alone at the top of the stairs
she breaks down and cries to her husband
"daddy, our baby is gone"
why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
could she do this to me?.
she ( we never thought of ourselves)
is leaving
( never a thought of ourselves)
home
( we struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye)
something inside that was
always denied for so many years
she's
leaving home; bye , bye.
friday morrning at
nine clock she is far away
waiting to keep the appointment she made
meeting a man from the motor trade.
she (what did we do that was wrong )
is having ( we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing
that money can't buy; bye bye)
something inside that was always
denied for so many years
Number one is the clock track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin'
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Stumblers stumblin' they gonna stumble on it
Bumblers bumlin' will bumble 'til they've found it
No more slumberin' get out from under darlin'
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move
I seen some lessons in that new school, so cool
You never laugh or smile or grin
The same expression if they boo you
Now if that ain't the time to laugh you've gotta tell me when
Paint some flowers on your wagon
To help yourself to laugh and grin
Pick up them trousers kid they're saggin'
And don't bite snap when you rap and someone will let you in
Number on is the track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin'
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Computers workin' but I'm starvin'
I'd to show it how to sweat
Before it's over we'll be farmin'
You know that just might be the best thing to happen yet
Number one is the track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Somethin's comin' to get you up and runnin'
Scootcha-booty bottom move
Someone wrote just yesterday
"Love's in need of love today"
Will there be none tomorrow
Faded feelings, jaded news
Where's the tender heart that loved romance?
They seem so few
So, I write these words to say
Take heart, have faith in love's tomorrow
Where our precious dreams will all come true
Heaven knows what I've been through
Searching for a heart that's true
Is there one in a million?
Though I've often failed the test
Everyone must journey till that questioning is through
Shine a star for me to see what
Children see on Christmas morning
Every hope and dream to be renewed
Heaven only knows how I hope
That chance of love is higher than one in a million
I'm a dreamer I confess
But my dreams are only of the best that we can do
So, I'll keep on counting sheep
And will not sleep until the dawning
Help me break the news, eternal love just beat the blues
Chorus:
Save me from no love (you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come and is not gone
There is all, that I want, this morning
Save me from no love (you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come and will live on
Never gone, ever on, (strong), eternally (forever)
Now I've done the best I can
Girl, I need a helping hand
Are you one in a million?
People leave without good-byes
Stay with me, for through your eyes I see another truth
You're the star and now I see
What children see on Christmas morning
Stay and see it through
The gift of love returned to you
(Chorus)
I'm searchin' for love, baby, been lookin' today
Somewhere there's a love, baby, do you know the way
I'm searchin' for love, baby, been lookin' today
Somewhere there's a love, baby, do you know the way to...?
(Chorus)
Save me, save me
You've got to save me
Save me, save me
Baby, you can save me
Save me, save me
You've got to save me from no love
Everyone gets tired
The fires begin to fade
Everyone gets tied up
In spite of the plans they made
Nobody wants to slow down
The showdown is set for dawn
I'm gonna meet that villian
And tell him the race is on
I'll say that
Chorus:
Lovers cross the raging waters
Lovers walk the burnin' sand
Lovers stop time in order
To take the moment in their hands
Lovers toss away a kingdom
Lovers abdicate the crown
Lovers fight for love and freedom
Breakin' the chains that hold 'em down
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on -- didn't I say
Everyone is frantic
The antics become desire
Every last romantic's
Been banished to some cold star
Never again expire
Be tired and givin' in
I'm gonna take my lover
Discover the promised land
I'll say that
(Chorus)
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on touchin' others
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on, gotta keep on
You gotta keep on, gotta keep on -- didn't I say
Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew
Corner of your office
Floor boards of your car
BB King sure keeps 'em
In that blues guitar
No matter where you go
Whatever game you play
Never leave home without some
Put some in everyday
To keep it in your laughter
Twinkle in your eye
Up in all your rafters
Underneath your tie
Puddit in your chapel
Underneath the pew
All your kids in chapter
Skipin' back to school
No matter where you go
Whatever game you play
Don't you leave home without some
Puddit in everyday
When the people start to roar
We, come back for more
Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew
One more last suggestion
Teach 'em every move
When they pop the question
One way
One thing will lead to another
One touch and Im closer to you
Oh, how I yearn to discover
All of the things I need to do
To live, to live to live al life of luxury...
Holding you in my arms
Your heart, your heart, your heart, your
Heart would belong to me
If I only knew where to start
Chorus
One way to win your affection
One way to make that connection
I believe there's one way to your love
Love for life is my affliction
You are my sublime addiction
I believe there's a way to your love
Should I stand on a mountain
Should I dream of you here
Oh, it pours from me like a fountain
Still I can't have you near
To love, to love, to love, to love, to love
You like a jewel in my arms
Your heart, your heart, your heart, your
Heart would belong to me
If I only knew where to start
Oh, come ye
O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
God of God
Light of light
Lo, he abhors
Not the virgin's womb
Very God
Begotten not created
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens
Of heaven above
Glory to God
In the highest
O come
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord
See how the shepards
Summoned to his cradel
Leaving their flocks
Draw nigh with lowly fear
We too will thither hend
Our joyful footsteps
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus
To thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come
Let us adore him
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware, my foolish heart
So white the ever-constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
It's too good
It's too right
So something must be wrong
It's a bubble
That's gonna break
Says Murphy's Law
I need you
I want you
Been alone too long
If it might miss
It's gonna miss
That's Murphy's Law
And the perfect fit just
Rubs my worry stone
But if it works don't fix it
Ya leave it alone
'Cause you're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
To make Murphy pass my door
We put something on baby...didn't we, didn't we, didn't we, didn't we
It's so sweet
I repeat
That something must be wrong
If it might not
Then we must stop
And talk about it
It's a work of fiction
They call it a law
But the contradiction
Is we fooled 'em all
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
You make Murphy tell and show
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
To make old Murphy pass my door
Mmm... now don't be superstitious baby...
[Piccolo trumpet solo]
If it works don't fix it
The winner takes all
You know it's the Murphy fiction
That's due for a fall
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
You make Murphy tell and show
You're the only luck I need
You make it go
You're the only luck I need
Hey baby where you been
Don't try to stare me down with lying eyes
My baby don't you know that I'm the one
Who's been right by your side
How many times I have to tell you
That no one could love you more
Can I believe it's me you're pimpin for
Boy you know how much I love you
Don't you know how much I care
I need to know it's me you're living for
Do do do do do do do do do
You're the love of my life
Love of my life, yes you are
Hey baby where'd you go
I can't help it girl
I'm I'm jealous of you so
Now baby, don't you know
I ain't gonna let you
Walk out through the door
How many times I have to tell you
That no one could love you more
Can I beieve that he is just a friend
Boy you know how much I love you
Don't you know how much I care
Well then do me, do me, do me to the end
Do do do do do do do do do
You're the love of my life
Love of my life, yes you are
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
You're the love of my life
Love of my life
Baby don't you ever go
Do do do do do do do do do
You're the love of my life
Love of my life, yes you are
Well let's break up the conversation
For some sultry romance
Baby feel the sweet sensation
C'mon do the dance
Ain't nothin' I can do 'bout it
Do do do do do do do do do
You're the love of my life
You think that love
is just a fairy tale
Maybe true love is sold
and bought
Hansel and Gretel found
their candy getting stale
And you're gonna find
You ain't no Goldilocks
When those bells just
keep on ringing
And that song you're singing
And you want to share
your Mondays-
Right through to Sundays
Your best friend is softly speakin'
She won't call this weekend
No way-it's only a fling you say
Love is real, yes it is girl
Never let anyone
tell you different
when you can feel it
Love is real, yes it is mama
Never let anyone
tell you different
When you can feel this
feeling's for real
Let me tell you something
Don't go away
Don't you stray
Let me tell you something
Don't go away
Don't you stray
You think that love's
What's on that silver screen
Raquel and Redford are the tops
You've been misled
by all those movies you've seen
Love ain't a robber
Hidin' from the cops
When you toss 'n' turn all morning
And you wake up yawning
And you walk that floor all evening
And you should be leaving
And you find yourself pretending
You've got a happy ending-
No way-it's only a fling you say
CHORUS:
(vocal Improvisation)
CHORUS:
By snowy fields and lanes, she keeps the waiting
In candlelight the sacred alter shines
He suckled the young lambs upon his knee
Givin' the weary sleep in peace
But he read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind
He read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind
Of winter's love for spring, she kept the vision
Sweet chariots aflame against the sky
He played on the harp, sweet melody
Children and emperors came to see
And he drove the dragons into the night
But he was blind
He drove the dragons into the night
But he was blind
So lock all the gates and bolt the chamber door
Because nobody leaves or enters anymore
And lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Would you lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber
Lock all the gates and boltin' up the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt up the chamber
Come, come, come, come
Come, come, come, come
Somebody come and lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Lock all the gates and bolt the chamber
Nobody leaves or enters anymore
No, no, no, no, no
By snowy fields and lanes she keeps the waiting
In candlelight the sacred alter shines
He suckled the young lambs upon his knee
He bid the weary sleep in peace
He read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind
He read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind
He read the stars inside her dream, dream
Don't wait for your love
to come from tomorrow
Don't wait for your love
to come from yesterday
Your heart better skip a
beat tomorrow
Your heart better jump
a beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the
love you lost
When someone needs
the love that you have
Don't ache for the
love you need
Someone somewhere
wants what you've got
Maybe she's looking
for you in London
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking
for you in Boston
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking
for you in Houston
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking
for you in Kingston
E maybe forever
Don't wait for your mum
to lesson your sorrow
Don't wait for the crown
to bring you brighter days
Your heart better skip
a beat to tomorrow
Your heart better jump
a beat from yesterday
Don't wait for the love you lost
When someone needs
the love that you have
Don't ache for the love you need
Someone somewhere
wants what you've got
Don't cry for the love you lost
When someone needs
the love that you have
Don't sigh for the love you need
Someone somewhere
wants what you've got
Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not cry for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need
Do not cry for the love you lost
Do not ache for the love you need
Do not mourn for the love you lost
Don't mourn for the love you need
Maybe she's looking for you in Moscow
L is for lover
Looking for you in Glasgow
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Rio
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Tokyo
E maybe forever
Maybe she's looking for you in Sydney
L is for lover
Maybe she's looking for you in Philly
O is for an offer
Maybe she's looking for you in Lisbon
V you got to venture
Maybe she's looking for you in Brooklyn
Never, no never, never
I'm beginning to think
I should say never
Never, no no never
Take my advice
No never
I'm beginning to see what's missing
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and lit a spark
Burnin' desire, house on fire
Never, no never, never
I'm beginning to see what you talking 'bout
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to think I was wrong
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and lit a spark
A forgone conclusion
Too used to losin'
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But not that your lips are burning mine
Been seein' polka dots and moonbeams
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and lit a spark
Burnin' desire
House on fire
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But not that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
Walk too slow and never been bright
I can be so selfish, sad and moody
I can hear my mama talking to me
She said, 'Girl, you need to change your attitude'
I come home tired and I'm rude to you
And I've got a little problem with I'm sorry'
I say go to hell and in a hurry
And if that hurts, I get a little mad at you
The truth we know I'm a little jealous too
Well, if tears like rain have magic powers
Here they come again, them midnight showers
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again [Incomprehensible]
And take it way back when
Do you remember those sweet talks early morning?
Looking and I turn into the dawning
If this works I'll thank the Lord with gratitude
I tell you I'd do all I got to do
But if tears like rain have magic powers
Here they come again, them midnight showers
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
Gonna pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again, baby baby ooh I wanna start again
Take it way back when, well, well, yeah, yeah, come on
Let it rain, water wait I'm walkin'
Wash me up and wash me down
Gonna be good for me, oh let it rain
No more turning, no more tossing
Just like Christmas in the morning for you and me
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
When I pray tonight, gonna say how much I want her
Start it again
Take it way back when
Let it rain, tell water to wait I'm walkin'
Wash me up and wash me down, be good for me
Let it rain, no more turning and tossing
Just like Christmas in the morning for you and me
Let it rain tonight, purify like holy water
Yesterday, just a
Photograph of yesterday
And all it's edges folded
And the corners
Faded sepia brown
And yet it's all I have
Of our past love
A postscript to it's ending
Brighter days
I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang
Is sung again
And now we know
We know this time it's for good
And we're lovers once again
And you're near me
I can remember the
Rain in December
The leaves are brown -
On the ground
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with
Joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of
All our yesterdays
Yes, today
Oh what a dream, Oh what a story.
Don’t have to weep, Come and enjoy a smile.
Opening scene is just like a doorway.
Here’s a story, in rhythm and rhyme.
There is a tree on the street and in the forest.
Lavender dream whispered a poet.
Bright potpourri. The envy of orchids,
When it’s dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine.
Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine.
Oh Mandela, that garden that you made,
Is a vision of the prayer, you must’ve been prayin’ everyday.
Sweet Azaleas, every color every kind.
And the first and the last are all divine.
There is a dream of the trees and of the flowers.
There is a season of peace at the borderline…
Where we’re redeemed and history will crown us.
Jacaranda tree and Bougainvillea vine.
Oh Mandela, would you say that it’s alright?
When the children play they always say, they say that we were like
Cinderella, in your garden there’s a shrine,
To the first and the last they’re all divine.
One and all, big and small, a common birth.
Each and every child for all his worth.
Take the one who’s always last and make him first.
Take these seeds. Seed the earth.
OUTRO:
Comin’ along,
Oh what a long way we have come.
(We're) Comin’ along,
Makin' a home for everyone.
(We are) Comin’ along, way down south in Africa
Look at (Study) the Jacaranda tree huggin’ the Bougainvillea
Callin' all players, Don Juan, Romeo too
Don't you turn away, something I say
Could keep her faithful and true
Used to say, satin, silk and lace
Fascinate a pretty face
Bet you're life she'll stay
I was stunned, struck dumb y'all
Total strangers when she walked away, she told me
CHORUS:
It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real we make a melody down in my soul
Callin' all players, Don Juan, Romeo too
Please dont' turn away, everything I say
Is with affection for you
She's in pain, cause' when you hit and run
Like you're blind, deaf, and dumb, every dreams' undone
Only one way to hold her
Be for real before she walks away
CHORUS:
It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle down in my soul
It's how you say it, it's all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle in the middle
BRIDGE:
Round and round, they all fall down
It's just a losing game when you break it down
(Let me just break it down)
CHORUS:
It's how you say it, all in how you play it
If it's a love I get to feeling it baby
It's how you move me, it's all in how you do me
If it's for real I get a tickle down in my soul
You were the one
with schemes of plenty
I was your waiter
Waitin all the while
We were the two
They said could conquer any
Has anyone seen my missing smile
Almost,I almost made it
Said I almost forgot
How much you hurt me-
Oh you hurt me
If I break
It's only 'cause I saw
The saddest movie today
It's all these heartbreak stories
On the news today
It's only April raindrops
Tricklin' down my face
But it ain't because
I'm missin' you today
I ain't missin' you,no
Funny how time can heal
The hurt and wounded
Lovely how God protects
The young and fools
Makin' mistakes is
All so very human
Have to press on is what to do
Always--I said I"d always love you
Always,I'll remember you in roses
And in all my prayers and invocations
If I break
It's only cause I saw
The saddest movie today
It's all these heartbreak stories
On the news today
It's only April raindrops
Tricklin' down my face
But it ain't because
I'm missin' you today
If I break
But t ain't because
I'm missin you today
Always--Well I will
Always and forever
Always--I'll remember you in roses
And every day of my life
If I break
It's only cause I saw
The saddest movie today
It's all these heartbeak stories
On the news today
It's only April raindrops
Tricklin' down my face
But it ain't because
I'm missin' you today
If I break
I must have been a fool
I can tell by the look in your eyes
There's no deceivin, there's no disguise
What you need is a what you want
You hide behind what you put up front
So we find ourselves together
Im the only one to blame
What I thought would last forever
Just another part of your game
I must have been a fool
I must have broke some rule
Now Im losing you to the wind
So Im all alone with my yesterday, once again
Im back to the bottom line
Sometimes love can make or break you
Can build you up or shake you down
If it's real you don't need to fake it
If it's not no need to hang around
If you're with me for a reason
The time has come to let me know
Coz it seems your heart is freezin
But you still don't wanna let me go
Bridge:
And you say (so you say) no more rainy days
Go your way (go your way) and you send me mine
Too much too soon, was I too out of tune
With your plans
Too much too soon, too out of tune
With your plans
Be silent
And listen
The summer night has got something to say
Honey be silent
And listen
A little whisper like a preacher would pray
Honey be silent
And listen
Slow down a moment we been talkin’ all day
What wonderful story it’s tellin'
We’ll hear it if we stop yellin’
So Honey be silent
And listen
The night’ll whisper little things in your ear
Be silent,
And listen,
It’s gonna whisper something you wanna hear
Honey be silent
And listen
And when you've heard it and it’s ever so clear
Define every meanin’
cuz I will be dreamin’ away
Hey don’t scream
That way
Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so so no one hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true dear
there's no one but you
Won't you keep…
Whisper why you'll never leave me
Whisper why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you.
Be silent
And listen
The summer nights has got something to say
Honey be silent
And listen
A little whisper like a preacher would pray
Honey be silent
And listen
Slow down a moment we been talkin' all day
What wonderful story it's tellin'
We'll hear it if we stop a'yellin'
So Honey be silent
And listen
The night’ll whisper little things in your ear
And listen,
Be silent,
And listen,
It’s gonna whisper something you wanna hear
Honey be silent
And listen
And when you've heard it and it’s ever so clear
Define every meanin’
cuz I will be dreamin’ away
Hey don’t scream
That way
Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true dear
there's no one but you
Won't you keep…
Whisper why you'll never leave me
Whisper why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
O my goodness! Ugh, ugh, ugh! Try me!
Upset me this time of the mornin'!]
Hmmm! I guess you got my letter
Hmmm! Well every word I said was true
But just in case your postman breaks a leg
I thought I'd get another message off to you
Hmmm! I settled down in Paris
Hmmm! I get to love them weekends too
I'd like to pitch a tent by your back fence
And yell and scream all night this message overdue:
"I'd just like to hold you, enfold you and make it right
But it's nice to know you are in good hands tonight"
Oops! Hmm! I never had good timing
Hmmm! I'm late again, thats why you're through
But please ignore the time, enjoy the ride, girl
And let the meaning and the message sing to you:
"I'd just like to hold you, enfold you and make it right
But it's nice to know you are in good hands tonight, yes"
Do I seem alright? S'pose I'll be alright
'Specially when the sky is so blue
But if she's sad of eyes with deep blue sighs
Let me sing this song again just like it's new
Oooh! Well baby, here's my final letter
Hmmm! But perhaps that's really not quite true
Woa! 'Cause if your friend was right and you really called last night
To ask the question could my message mean 'I do'
"I'd just like to hold you, enfold you and make it right
O blessed town
Of Bethlehem
Within thy gray
Green shade
Ringed round
With
Terraced vineyard
And depth
Of olive glade
There on thy high
Green pastures
The shepherds
Watch their sheep
The low large moon
Shines glim'ring
O'er all
The upland steep
What music
Of the heavens
What magic song
Of bliss
What vision
Of the night-tide
What mystic light
Is this?
The silly sheep
Are blinded
The shepherds
In amaze
Stand awe-struck
All the hillside
With glory
Is abaze
The angels'
Joyous
Chorus:
Rings out
Into the night
O Gloria
In excelsis
Sing praises
In the height
Sing praises
Men of Bethlehem
Sing praises
Here below
For peace
On Earth
And goodwill
He doth
On your bestow
For on this day
Is born there
Within
Your little town
A Child
Who Christ
The Lord is
Yet wears
No earthly crown
He bringeth joy
And gladness
To you
And all mankind
Peace on earth
And good-will
To men
Of equal mind
O blessed town
Of Bethlehem
How happy
Is thy state
How blest
Above all palaces
The stable
At thy gate
For there
In manger-cradle
true the angel word)
As King enthroned
Of all the worlds
Reigns Jesus Christ
Yesterday,you left Brazil and went
Away to see the world
Looking for a distant beach
A different shore-a faster whirl
Thinking that your hearts desire
Hungered for some Paris or Berlin
Caught between the snow and the fire-
Will sweet Carioca love again?
Your superman gonna do the
Super-best he can
To free the pearl
Giving you the superness
That he can do
Believe me, girl
That everyday your need is higher
But love is not Chicago or L.A
Home is where your heart's on fire
And where that restless snowbird melts away
It's easy, easy-
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
It's easy
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in today
It's easy
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Settle down, there ain't
No need to run around
It's really clear
That I'm the man
Who's gonna do the super-best he can
To keep you near
Everyday your need soars higher
Love is not Chicago or L.A
Home is where your heart's on fire
Can't deny this love is here to stay
Easy, easy-
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Easy-
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Easy, easy, easy
Easy-
Let your heart ring out
Let my loving in to stay
It's easy-
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in to stay
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out
Hark!
How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh!, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Hark!
How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
O, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Chorus:
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to
Get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
You know all I need is to
Get my boogie down
You can be what I want to
And all I need is to
Get my boogie down
I got my certain and my sure 'nough on
And I'm puttin' on my really for real
You face that curtain with your best stuff on
You are the winner and you're gonna feel
You can be what you want to
And all you need is to
Get your boogie down
Chorus
I got my certain and my sure 'nough on
And I'm puttin' on my really for real
You face that curtain with your best stuff on
You are the winner and you're gonna feel
You can be what you want to
And all you need is to
Get your boogie down
You can be what you want to
And all you need is to
Get your boogie down
Now you go one and two and three
Here's a little step for you and me
Come and strut your stuff but leave enough
For the nearest boogie and truest boogie woogie
Better than sailing at midnight
Better than diving for pearls
Better than skiing in Aspen
Better than feeding the squirrels
Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything thought of
Better than anything said
Better than singing right out loud
Or being spotted in a crowd
Better than anything except being in love
Do you know, being in love
Better than four sets of Dizzy
Better than Count Basie's band
Better than Rollins and Coltrane
Better than being on the stand
Better than Ella Fitzgerald
Better than Miles' latest news
Better than Bill Evans' ballads
Better than Joe Williams' blues
Better than hearing Lady Day
Or checking in at Monterey
Better than anything except being in love
Do you know, being in love
It's a circus
Elephants dancing
Clowns on parade
Better than peanuts and popcorn
Fresh lemonade
Better than rides on the midway
Better than seals blowing horns
Better than men shot from cannons
Better than fresh ears of corn
Better than balancing a wire
Or watching tigers leap through fire
Songtext: Al Jarreau - All Or Nothing At All
Everyday we go through
I do something that'll please you baby
And I know having you around
Well, just keeps me grounded
If I get jealous,If I act like a fool
It's an overreaction to loving you
I want it all or nothing at all
That's what I need from you
And baby it's true
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all
All other men try for you
They won't give you what I do now, baby
I won't share
I want you to myself
So I'll keep trying
Gonna make my lovin' the best it can be
'Cause I need your devotion desparately
I want it all or nothing at all
That's what I need from you
And baby it's true
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all
Just tell me now that there's no other man
'Cause I don't want my heart broken up again
And when you say that you'll never let go
Only then will I know
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all
Lay your love on the line
Right now
I need you to
Lay your love on the line,baby
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all.
I want it all or nothing at all
That's what I need from you
And baby it's true
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all
I want it all or nothing at all
That's what I need from you
And baby it's true
I'll be there whenever you call
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breakin' me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's gone much too long
Any time she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't a home
Any time she goes away
I know
She's gone to stay
It's breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
I wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
Mornin' Mr. Radio

In my mind
Mornin' Mr. Shoe Shine Man

My baby said she loves me and

In my mind
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Golden Gate

I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
Makin' it fine
Here in my mind
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of GOD
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine

Singin' about mornin' little radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Wake up Mr. Radio
Need I tell you everything
Right here is just doing fine
