Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin
Each victory will help you or some others to win
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue
Look ever to Jesus and He'll carry you through
Just ask the Savior to help you
To comfort, strengthen and keep you
He is willing to aid you
And He will carry you through
Ask the Savior to help you
To comfort, strengthen and heal you
Oh, He is willing to aid you
Jesus will carry you through
Shun evil companions, bad language disdain
God's name hold in reverence, don't take it in vain
Be thoughtful and honest, kindhearted and true
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through
Oh, ask the Savior to help you
To comfort, strengthen and keep you
Oh, He is willing to aid you
Jesus, He will carry you through
All I wanna do is ask the Savior to help you
Comfort, strengthen and keep you
He is willing to aid you
And He will carry you through
I wanna just ask the Savior to help you
To comfort, strengthen and keep you
He is willing to aid you

Baby, I'm gonna turn my back and walk away
(Baby, baby)

(Baby)
Thankful for your love, angel
Thankful for your love, every day
Glad you're mine
Aww, hey, hey, hey
I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
Coda (repeat to fade):
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
If I were you, I'd write a letter
I'd tell the world just how I feel
If I were you, I'd make it better
And as the world just watch the [Incomprehensible]
You know it's true
I do love you
Hold on, hold on
And I'm still your right
Babe, day and night
Hold on, hold on
If I were you, I'd change my heart
And I'd never leave, never leave you
If I were you, I'd write a letter
Before this day, this day is through

Oh yeah

If I were you, oh baby, if I were you
If I were you, I'd hold on
If I were you, if I were you
If I were you
If I were you, I'd walk right
(feat. Vonda Shepard)
The time has come
For closing books, and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong
That's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I, would rather let me give my heart
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well it's not easy
But I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To you, with love
Those awkward years have hurried by
Why did they fly, fly away
Why is it Sir children, grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing tres and dirty knees in the world outside?
What, what is there that I can buy?
If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
These words withe letters ten feet tall
To you, With love
LIVIN' FOR YOU
Al Green
(Al Green; W. Mitchell)
I guess there's no good reason for livin'...
But I'll keep on livin' for you, baby...
There's nothing else to do, babe...
But spend my life holding you and lovin' you...
Oh...
If I ask you more than one million times to forgive me...
You think of a reason why...
that you should make me cry (don't make me cry)...
walk out and say goodbye away from me...
Oh...
I'm tired of the bright ideas about leavin' me...
when you know you ain't goin' nowhere...
but here with me...
here with me...
Let me tell you a thing...
stop and think of just how good I've been to you baby...
I'm causin' no trouble for you baby...
this story just can't be true, baby...
how can I convince you, baby...
but just tell you the truth...
I'm livin' for you... givin' for you... waitin' for you...
(lemme tell you what I'm doin'...)
I'm layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...
(...livin' my life, I tell you that...)
I'm livin' for you... givin' for you... givin' for you...
layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...
(everything I do I still...)
do with you... (something to) do with you...
[fade]
Find my way, in the five o'clock rush hour,
As daylight, slowly leaves the sky.
I open the door, to that little room,
That we call home.
Loving arms, are there, to greet me,
Tender lips are there, to meet me.
At the end of the day,
You know it's, always been that way.
Then I find my way, through the early morning traffic,
But someone else, is heavy, heavy, on my mind.
Open the door to our favorite little coffee shop,
(Ohh, ya'll) the girl is right on time. (Now, come one.)
Loving arms, are there, to greet me,
Tender lips are there, always there to meet me.
And that's how I start my day,
It's just too bad it doesn't end that way.
(One woman's making my home)
One women's making my home,
(But the other woman's making me wrong)
The other girl, is making me do wrong.
I didn't mean, let it get that strong, no baby.
I got to decide, where I belong.
(One woman's making my home)
Sometimes I get so mixed up inside,
(But the other woman's making me wrong)
I wish I could find a place, to hide.
I didn't mean, I didn't mean,
I didn't mean to let it get that strong, nah girl.
I got to decide, where I belong.
Some times in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But, if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Chorus:]
Lean on me, when your 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.
Please, swallow your pride, if I have
made, you need to borrow. For no one can feel those of your
needs, that you won't let show.
You just call on your brother when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you'll understand, we all need some body to lean on.
[Chorus]
You just call on your brother, when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you'll understand. We all need someone to lean on
If, there is a load, that 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.
Call me
I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)
L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love
Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun
I never thought dreams could happen,
Until one came true for me.
Since I met Judy,
Since I met Judy,
My life has been one sweet melody.
Yeah! Yeah!
I never thought I could welcome....
Two other hearts as I do.
Oh...Since I met Judy,
Since I met Judy,
Well it's been a real hip thing I'm telling you.
Oh, saying that I want Judy.
Talking about beauty,
She's got it.
I know she's got it.
Her sweet little ways,
Mean so much to me.
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
I'm making mine Judy.
To love her! Got her! Got her! Yeah! Yeah!
Gonna keep her right here with me.
Yeah! Oh yeah!
Now I find it hard to believe, that I'm happy.
All my pains and heartaches are all gone.
So glad I can tell the world:
Since I met Judy,
Since I met Judy,
Well my life has been one sweet song.
I won't be worried long.
If you think I'm gonna leave her,
Man, you're wrong.
It's only Judy.
I'm telling you you're wrong.
I love Judy.
I'm crazy about that Judy.
Judy, Judy, Judy!
I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
You're my one desire
Baby, I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
You can make me cry
I can dance to the music
I can sing all night long
I can play with the band
Until you hear my song
'Cause I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
See the party lights
Baby, I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
[Incomprehensible] why
I can dance with the fire
Burnin', burnin' low
I can stay until the party is all over
All over, all over
Hey, I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
And I'm over twenty one
Baby, I'm full of fire, full of fire, full of fire
And my life has just begun
I can dance to the music
And I can under-understand
That there must be an [incomprehensible] power
That is holding my hands, hey
Dance, dance dance, oh, I understand
Young lady, young man, I say, I understand
I can dance, dance dance dance dance, hey hey
I understand, stand, understand, understand, hey hey
There's some things that I know
But I want the horn to blow, hey hey
There's some things that I know
But I want the horn to blow, hey hey
And I can dance, [incomprehensible] I can dance

[fade]
I can't believe that it's real, the way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside, a love that I cannot hide
Our love is you and me, baby
That makes the world go round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me, here I am, baby
It always ends up this way, me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have, you broke my heart into half
Our love is you and me, baby
That make's the world go round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me, here I am, baby
When I'm down, I can always call you for a helpin' hand
I know you'll do the best you can
But it don't take much from me, just my cup of joe
Oh, there's love inside me
I believe there's one to be explodin'
It's tough for me, oh baby
I can do worry, tell me all your troubles
You won't ever have to worry now
Just one more thing, ask everybody, everybody you see
You'll find yourself lost and alone on a darkened street
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me, here I am, baby
Well hello there
My, it's been a long long time
How am I doin'
Oh well, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
That you told me
Well, it seems like just the other day
Ain't it funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time you're gonna pay
Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
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 always gone too long
anytime she goes away.
Wonder, this time where she's gone,
wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and this house just ain't no home,
anytime she goes away.
And i know,i know, i know, i know, i know
i know,i know, i know, i know, i know
i know,i know, i know, i know, i know
i know,i know, i know, i know, i know
i know, hey i ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
and this house just ain't no home,
anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away, anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away......

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low:
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long,
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud,
To hide its face and cry.
Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost his will to live.
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
The silence of a falling star,
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
You say it, He was here
Might not be able to sing like a man, you say it
Might not be able to sing like a man, yeah
Might not be able to preach like Paul, baby
Might not be able to preach like Paul
I'm in love with you, girl, that ain't all, come on
I'm in love with you, and that ain't all
I wanna call you up and say how I feel, baby
Wanna call you up and say how I feel
I got to let you know my love is real, you say it
Got to let you know my love is real
Take time, don't give a damn, alright
I've been wanting to call you up for a long, long time, baby
Want to call your number for a long, long time
I got to let you know that your love is mine, alright now
Got to let you know your love is mine, alright
La, la, la, I feel alright, you say it
La, la, la, I feel alright
Sit right down and talk to me
About how you want to be
You ought to be with me
Ya, you ought to be with me
Thinkin' about what people do
Talkin' about how I love you
Thinkin' there's nothin' to what they say
You're gonna to be with me, anyway
They don't want to see us do
All of the dumb things we want to
You ought to be with me
Hey, you ought to be with me
You don't have to waste my time
If you want to be a friend of mine
You can be denied and walk away
And turn your back for another day
You ought to be the kind of girl
That can brighten this old world
And it's hard to see why you and me
Can't be together happily
I'm trying to realize
You being with some other guy
I don't know the reason why
You ought to be with me until I die
Hey, you ought to be with me until I die
I don't want to waste my time
If you want to be a friend of mine
I want to hold you tight, love you right
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can?t you see
You?re everything I?d hoped for
You?re everything I need
You are so beautiful to nobody but me
Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream you're everything, I I hoped for
You?re everything that I need
And you are so beautiful
You are just beautiful to me
You are beautiful to me
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are beautiful to me
You're everything, I hoped for
You?re everything that I need
You are how to explain, that
I can't stop
Just can't stop
I can't stop
I just can't stop from loving you
I can't stop my hands from holding you
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no no no, I
You and me, you and me
And I can't stop
I just can't stop from holding you
And I can't quit a love like this from consuming you
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no no no, I
From loving you, you loving me
Your love is more than I deserve
Oh baby, you made me, gave me your love
Just can't stop
No, I can't stop from loving you, no
You keep me hanging on
Of whatever I do
There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no no no, I
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
Just can't stop
Oh baby
No, I can't stop
Just can't stop
Oh hands, leave alone
I know I can't stop
Just can't stop
School days
How I wish for school days
How we used to run and play, oh baby
Now those days are gone
But we keep on going on
Wondering where they're gone
School days
I remember my love
Man, good times were easy all the time
How she really blew my mind
Oh, won't you come back to me
Oh darling, can't you see
I need you here with me always
Oh baby, let me say that it's
Easy together
Loving you whether
Whether you're near or far, oh
Now that we are
We might as well have some fun
Now that you know
Where I'm comin' from
Oh, my life is just your, your
[Incomprehensible] anything
Oh just come back to me
I need you desperately
Honey, won't you stay with me always
Oh, I, I want to, I want to remind her
School days, oh
Oh, my love, oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Speed your love to me, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
I just had to tell you that
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be comin' home, wait for me
Please, baby, let me say
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to, to me
Speed your love to me, speed your love to me
Speed your love to me, speed your love to me
Speed your love to me, speed your love to me
Only truth can make you see
Only truth can make you love me
Only truth, smile on your face
Only love can take your place
[Incomprehensible]
Let me say
Time, time, we need love and time
Only the truth can tell of this
Time, time, we need love and time
Time, time, time, oh
Only the truth can let you go
Only the truth can hear you love me so
Only the truth can make you see
Tell me the truth if you love me, let me say it
Time, time, can it be reached?
Can you cheat time
True, let's all sing that break
I said
Time, time, all we need is time
Time, time, let me hear you
Time, time, all we need is time
I wanna be so big, they said
Time, can it reach, yeah
All of the love and all [Incomprehensible]
Say it matters
Time, time, all we need is time
Time, time, all we need is time
Time, time, all we need is time
Can I have a kiss?

It?s too much baby

It?s too much
Too much for me
Oh, that love?s just
It is too much
Oh now, it?s too much for me
I look back now, girl, on tomorrow's dreams
Distant things are happening, not as bad as they seem
Don't put off tomorrow for what today might bring
I'd be satisfied now to gain one single thing
Don't look away now, girl, things are looking bright
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
I want my baby, tonight baby, I can't wait no longer
Here now baby
I give my heart and feeling of distress
Trying to ignore her pain, all the happiness
Anything you want girl, I will give complete
I'd do anything, baby, to overcome defeat
And don't say tomorrow come, it don't belong to anyone
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
C'mon now baby, hey, tonight baby, oh baby, hey, c'mon
I look back now, girl, on tomorrow's dreams
Distant things are happening, not as bad as they seem
Don't put off tomorrow for what today might bring

Don't look away now, girl, things are looking bright
Don't put off tomorrow, girl, for what's in store tonight, baby
C'mon now baby, hey, tonight baby, baby
Oh, what a wonderful thing love is
Oh, I can see you standing there now
And your the prettiest thing in the crowd
And guess who be laughin' loud, but me
You made me see the love that you're givin' me
Baby, won't you hold my hand?
Now, that kinda makes a fool understand
Just let me know that I'm your man
And show I'm not ashamed
I walk the floor when you leave me
Hey baby, I don't know 'bout you
But let me tell what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna try to make my dreams come true
With you, with you
Baby, yeah, I wanna say
I been cryin' without your love
The night time find me
Wetting my pillow, but I
Yeah, I don't, I don't mind, no, but if you
You just let me say it again, I've been cryin'
I wish our trouble would leave me alone
But I've been cryin'
Oh, come on and stop the rain right now
Yeah, stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain
Baby, baby, yeah
I was lost deep in sin
Jesus came and took me in
Now I feel I've got a friend
I got a friend in him
Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart, I pray
And it always make me say
Keep me day by day
He's so real to me
(God is so real)
So really real so, so really real
(God is so real)
So real, so real
So real to me
(God is so real)
He's so really real
So real to me
Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart I pray
Now, now that it's over, baby
I can come home to you
Just as I should do
And you're waiting there for me
Just as you should be
I'm hoping to see you soon
Now that you've got all the things
That you need, babe
You're still here waitin' for me
So good to be here
It's so good to see your face
It's so good to be loved by you
In every way
All I can say or do
Is give my love to you
Just as I should do
I can't imagine me leaving you
Wasting my time
When I wanna be with you, babe
So good to be here
So good to see your face
So good to be loved by you
Everyday it's hard to make you stay
But still in your heart
You're gonna run away from me, baby
So good to be here
As the door over left behind to
Stand wide open for us to see
There is one thing in life I told you
I can see you but you can't see me, yeah
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way it is
As my Father up in heaven above
Shining star that is full of love
And He is a big surprise that just open your hearts
And if that's one thing that I'm mighty proud of
You see now
There are sometimes when you make me happy
There are sometimes when you make me sad
But that's a part of life give it what you have
To all I ask is forget the bad
That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way it is
All your smiles and your all your lies won't
Oh, erase the pain inside, yeah
Hold your self and your serenity
'Cause I can see you this evening
And can't you see me, well?
That's the way, that's the way it is, yeah
That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way, let me say that's the way it is
That's the way
And you must believe all the things I tell you
You won't believe all the words I say
Now one little thing in life I'm rest assured of
Heavenly father's gonna make a way in [Incomprehensible]
I will, yeah, I wanna clap my hands
Wanna clap my hands
Just you take your time
Just you take your time
Do you remember when we used to take our time?
You?d write me a letter baby and I?d wait for you all night
Now I see everyone rushin? around includin? you and I
I wanna take a little time just to fall in love again
?Cause they?re tellin? me
Just you take your time
No hurry, baby

When I think about yesterday, everythin? was easy, everythin? was okay
Now, everythin? is goin? fast, you?re the best thing I ever had

That would make me feel so bad, hey, hey
Would you help me say?
Just you take your time

No need to hurry, baby
Just you take your time
I don?t want you runnin? away baby
Just you take your time
There?s no rush in it, baby

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
I don't know why she treated me so bad
Look at all those things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't take no more
Take me to the river
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all
I wanna know
Oh won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
I wanna know
Take me to the river
I wanna know
I want you to dip me in the water
I wanna know
Won't you wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Won't you wash me in the water
There's no way
There's just no way
I could leave your love behind
If I could live my life all over, I'd do everything the same
The film in my camera would reveal everything the same
Like kissin' you every mornin', lovin' you day by day
Dreaming dreams of you and every old way will
When the sun peeps through my window
I'll have you on my mind
There's no way, there's no way
To leave your love behind
When you hair turns to silver and I'm old and gray
I'll keep on lovin' you, yeah, the same old way
When you come to the end of your journey
If I'm lucky enough to be around
I'll hold your picture to my chest
But tears will be still falling down, yeah
I'll keep you in my memory for the rest of my days
There's no way, there's no way to leave your love behind
Oh, behind, yeah
If I could walk through the garden again, you'd be the flower I pick
The episode of our love would give my heart a kick, yeah
If I could take the song from the top, one more time
I would sing the same old lines, yeah
I'll tell you there's just no way, no, no
There's no way to leave your love behind, behind
Oh, no, I can't leave it behind, oh
I can leave behind
Behind
Can't leave love, no
Behind
There's just no way
Behind
There's no way, no

Darling you must know that you are only mine
Not for just right now but all the time
Your sweet ways I cannot forget
Are the only things that you said on the day we met
This love I try to fight but I couldn't know love too long
And I knew the way that I was, I wouldn't be 'round too long
Your sweet ways I cannot forget
When I think about all the things you said
To help me through my days
Now I need you more desperately than I ever did
All the things we've done, all the things you say
Just drives me outta my head
So baby, please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
I want you to stay with me, baby, yeah
Please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
Please take my love, that's all I have to give
Just right now you're giving me a reason to live
Help me understand what I feel is real
For no love has meant this much to me
In the past couple of years
And if you let me there is nothin' I wouldn't do for you
And if you trust me with your love
Then I will make your dreams come true
So baby, please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
I just want you to stay a while with me, baby
Please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
C'mon and stay
Oh, c'mon take me by the hand, oh
Heaven, I want you to cherish me
Standing on the edge of the world
I'm looking for you, baby, yeah
I've keep looking at the sun
But it's rainin' in my heart
I don't know when life begins
I sure don't know when life might end, oh baby
I've keep looking at the sun
But it's rainin' in my heart, oh baby
(Rainin', rainin' in my heart)
Even though what's said or done
My love for you is eternal one
But how can I say bye with a love so deep
It seems like it's rainin' all over me
I can't understand for the love of me
Why can't it be like it used to be
Stop the rain, stop the rain
Rainin' in my heart
Seems like it was only yesterday
We're so in love, so in love just pays
I've keep looking at the sun
Somehow it keeps rainin' in my heart
Keep rainin', keep rainin', keep rainin'
Even though what's said or done
My love for you is an eternal one
But how can I say bye with a love so deep
I keep praying and it keeps rainin'
Somebody stop the rain
Yeah, now somebody stop the rain, rain, yeah
Somebody to see me
Somebody stop the rain, oh yeah
'Cause it seems like, seems like
Seems like it's gonna keep rainin'
It keeps on rainin', it keeps on rainin'
Keeps on rainin'
Keeps on rainin', keeps on rainin'

Nearer, nearer
The minister was preaching
And the crowd was standing near
The congregation sang in a tune
In the hall, it was loud and clear
All of the crowd that stood all around him
They were crying as I could plainly see
Oh, the songs that they sang was so touching
They were singing to my God to Thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Kept on singing
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Sometimes, I like to be in company
But when I get out, I like to stay out for long
Song is the only thing that can control me, Lord
When I know trouble, trouble's about to come
I fall down on my knees and call God late at night
And I know He'll make my, my burdens alright
I tell him, Lord, I have a desire to be
Nearer, nearer my God to Thee, Alleluia
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
I remember I was a little boy
Mother still used to [Incomprehensible]
I used to wonder what my mother was doing, have mercy, Lord
I stepped out one morning found mother all folded up
And mother had to rise up, she was looking towards the sky
And I saw the tears as they fell down my mothers eyes
And I can still hear the song mother was singing
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee
Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee

Doo-doo-doo Doo-doo
Oh, a shot rings out another Mother's child is fallen
Never will her life be the same
The streets are filled with anger and with heartbreak
People trying to ease the pain
There was a time we could walk the street with some peace of mind (Yea)
Oh but this wicked shade our city
People saying it's a Pity
We all got a price to pay
Chorus
We got to leave the guns at home
We can't make in this world alone (ask anybody)
We got to leave the guns at home
We can't make in this world alone
We got to leave...
The time has come to play the game of violence
All around the world it's the same (same, same)
Why can't we see?
We all got to share the responsibility
We all the blame
There was a time we could walk the street with some peace of mind
Oh not today
We got to fight the fears that seize us
Make them a believe us
We all in this together
And we all got to take a stand
Chorus
We got to leave the guns at home
We can't make in this world alone
We got to leave the guns at home
Knowing we can't win this prize alone
The time is right
We all must lead the fight
To answer to somebody
Everything going change
The stake points in this game
We must love one another
(Love one another)

But my love for you, and my love for you

Don't have the Eiffel tower, anything might die
Well, I love you, um, love you and that will survive
Why do you have to start, have to start that
Just to break my heart, break my heart, oh?
Tear it all apart, all apart and
Then you let it stop, let it stop

And my love gets started, it goes and goes and goes and
This is not a dream and what love ought to make
Sometimes you just can see [Incomprehensible]
Don't have the Eiffel Tower or silver or gold

And everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile, take time
To tell me you really care and we'll share tomorrow together

The lord is my shepherd I shall not want
Ohh, He making me lie down in green pastures
Ohh, He leadeth me beside the still waters, ohh
Ohh, He restoreth my soul
And He leads me in the path in righteousness
For his name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will not fear, thou art with me
Ohh, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me
Ohh,Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
Ohh, but [Incomprehensible] yea, my, my [Incomprehensible]
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, ohh, amen
Would you help me? Would you help me stay here?
Amen, why don't you have a seat? Amen
Well, you've taken everything we've got
Even the guitar and the band
They were makin' the right moves
Playin' in the blues like a light is at hand
Oh, get ready, ready for a one nite stand
(Get ready for a one nite stand
Get ready for a one nite stand)
'Coz my baby loves a one nite stand
So does all the fellows in the band, alright
Don't you wanna go
Well, you've taken a right notion
Enough to fill the world and the ocean
While we're driving in your car
No one knows who you are
Let me know who, big people in power
Oh, get ready, ready for a one nite stand
(Get ready for a one nite stand
Get ready for a one nite stand)
'Coz my baby loves a one nite stand
So does all the fellows in the band, alright
New York City, don't you wanna go, c'mon
Yeah sure, climb on
I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)
L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love
Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can?
People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that it's a natural fact
That I wanna come back show me where it's at, baby
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
As soon as you can?
I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, and I'm cryin' tears all through the years
I'll tell ya like it is honey, love me if you will
Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometimes I wonder
If you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I I I I've been thinkin' about it, yeah
I've been, I've been wantin' to get next to you baby
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say, oh
Oh baby, meeting you has proven to me
To be my greatest dream, yeah
I'm so tired of being alone
So tired of being alone
So tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
So tired of being alone
So tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
So tired of being alone
You get up early in the morning just to see her eyes
She's walking 'round the house in a complete disguise
I don't know just how to tell you, just how she changed so fast
But she's the prettiest thing in my life at last
I'm [Incomprehensible] a silver moon, baby
I can't stand to see you in my bedroom
I'm moving with
And I wanna dance with my sweet love sixteen
I can't believe the way you hold me
I can't believe the way you console me
Oh, I wanna dance with my sweet love sixteen
Oh, the fellows wanna just touch her or hold her hand real tight
But she is the prettiest thing out here tonight, gentlemen
If the dancing gets good to you, lay down in your shawl
You try to move your body, you might lose control, tell you one thing
I don't believe the way you hold me
The way you console me
Oh God, I wanna dance with
My sweet love sixteen, alright
Tell you what I'll do, just talk with
Tell what I'll do unless you walk with
I believe I'll let ya sing baby
VERSE 1:
Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl
Being here with you, being near with you
I can't explain myself
Why I feel like I do
Though it hurts me so to let you know that I
look in your eyes to let me know
How you feel
Let me know that love is really real
And it seems to me
that I'm wrapped up in your love
CHORUS:
Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey
VERSE 2:

Sho' 'nuff in love with you
Say I try it if you want me to

So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down main street

Love is an apple honey, so sweet

Love is a story that just can't be told

Can't you feel it burning more and more?
(Love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing?
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story about love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella about love
Love is something that is so divine
(Oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine
(Love)
It can't be measured by no sign
(Love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love
Love is as bright as the morning sun
You keep me cryin' all the time
I have to say that you
Keep me cryin' all the time
Well, I tried to play my music
But my music was too loud
Well, I pleased all the people
But I couldn't please the crowd
And I dropped down on my knees and said
Hey, mama won't you clear my head
Don't you know they
Keep me cryin' all the time
Someone will tell you that
They keep me cryin' all the time
Oh, Lord, don't you know they
They keep me moaning all the time
They keep me burning all the time
Well, I tried to run my business
But they said I can't
Just keep it to myself
Not bothering any man
Just as sure as I try
'Cause my tears in my eye
Don't you know that they
Keep me cryin' all the time
Something come over and
They keep me cryin' all the time
Friends knocking in my door
That they keep me cryin'
Somebody calling on the phone and
They keep me cryin' all the time
Your love is just for me, for me
It?s just for me
It?s just for me, for me, for me
It?s just for me
Just stopped by to say
That I love you more each day
Now you turn around and you knock me down
But I love you still, baby, baby
Why can?t you tell that I love you by the way that I smile?
Oh, why can?t you bring more love to the table?
You drive me wild
Hey, your love is just for me
For me, oh for nobody but me, yeah
Hey, your love for me, it?s for me
I can tell it?s just for me
Just about to say
We?d make our life worth livin?
And by now I think our love is more
It?s more than giving, hey
Why can?t you tell that I love you by the way that I smile?
Why can?t you bring more love to the table?
You drive me wild
Hey, your love is just for me
For me, oh for nobody but me, yeah
Hey, your love for me, it?s for me
I can tell it?s just for me, hey
Thinking ?bout you everyday, this way
Thinking ?bout you, what can I say
Thinking ?bout you, this is more from me
Your love is just for me

Standing by the highway
Just waiting in the rain
Standing by the highway
Just waiting in the rain
October sun is shining
These tears they cause the pain
It simply make up
Only just to break up, oh baby
And that ain't no fun to me
I said it ain't no fun to me
Leaving you, it sure ain't no fun to me, babe
I said leaving you, sure ain't no fun to me, baby
I believe in you
And I would like what you do to me
Baby, you make me feel like a brand new man
Oh, baby, another time I could say
I'll take the love and affection
Wherever I can, baby
Now that's no fun to me, Let me see it
That's no fun to me, baby
You got me standing here waiting
You got me standing here waiting
I really, really, I don't mind waiting
If I told you it ain't no fun to me
I want you to know, it ain't no fun to me, baby
'Cause sometimes I have to sit down
I think about it
Just sit down, think about it
It ain't no fun to me, baby
Sometimes I feel like leaving you, baby
I don't mind leaving you, baby
But it ain't no fun to me, no, no, no
I can love you ten thousand years, oh baby
I'd still feel the same, life's been a [Incomprehensible], oh baby
I'll have to keep on forever loving you, oh baby
Makes no matter what, what you say or do
If I had to do it all over
If I had to do it all over
I'd like to do it all over
I'd still choose you
I'd still choose you
I know it's gonna take some time, oh baby
Before I can make your sweet love mine, oh baby
I'll put the ring back on your finger, oh baby
[Incomprehensible] never linger
If I had to do it all over
I'd like to do it all over
I'd like to do it all over
And I would still choose you
Every flower I pick, dear darling
Would be roses all around
We go through life's ups and downs
Until your love hits the ground
I know it's gonna take some time, oh baby
I know it's all [Incomprehensible], oh baby
I still trust you, I grow in you
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
I, I'd hold you, until the time sake, forever
If I had to do it all over
I'd would do it all over
[Incomprehensible] it all over
I'd still choose you
Do it all over
Let me do it all over
Do it all over
And I would still choose you
Do it all over
I wouldn't take it all over
I'm gonna do it all over
I would still choose you
I love you, lady
Do it all over
Do it all over
Do it all over
