If you should lose me, (oh yeah)you'll lose a good thing?
If you should lose me,(oh yeah) you'll lose a good thing?
You know I love you,do anything for you
Just don't mistreat me, and I'll be good to you
Cause if you should lose me,you'll lose a good thing?
I'm givin' you one more chance, for you to do right
If you'll only straighten up, you'd have a good life.
But if you should lose me, you'll lose a good thing?
This is my last time not asking anymore, if you don't do right,
I'm gonna march outta that door,
And if you don't believe me, just try it daddy
And you'll lose a good thing.
Just try daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Just try daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
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.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When 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.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
While the blood is running warm in your veins,
while the blood is running oh so warm in your veins,
You had better get religion, you betta try, try and serve the Lord,
While the blood, the blood is running warm in your veins
Mmmmm now don't forget about your savoir while traveling thru this ole sinful land, for he always willing to help you and he'll lend you a helping hand, for he bore, he bore the pain of death oooh while he rocked you oh yes he did upon his breast....hey, while the blood. while the blood is running warm so warm in your vein
What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above they might be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
I would like to see a show of hands
Nothin' concealed, roll up your sleeve
Nothin' up my [Incomprehensible] except my heart
And I believe we've come apart
I would like to see you play your cards
Reveal your hands and show your heart
Maybe we could get it back
With truth and honesty that's what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Let's stay up till dawn and talk it out
Nothin' concealed, no alibi, retunin' to light
Before we start, then all we do is fall apart
If I can see the sunlight in your eyes
Then maybe we all could shine, yeah
Maybe we could get it back, oh baby, yeah baby
Oh, truth and honesty that is what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose, sad and free
Before we find out all that is gone
We could pull it back together with truth and honesty, oh
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Truth and honesty, oh, that's what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find out that it's gone
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty
Truth and honesty, you know what we need, sure enough within
To the good stuff, the good stuff baby
You got to be real, you got to be real, you got to be sugar
Amen
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine
to show my love
everywhere I go, Im gonna let it shine (3x)
I let it shine to show my love
even in my home, I'm gonna let is shine
I let is shine to show my love
when I see my neighbor coming
I'm gonna let it shine
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should
You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
(Shoo)
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
Well, I'm
Livin in a world of ghetto life
Everyone Seems is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
with my man
People out there can you understand
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This is my life and it's my right to live
The way I want to live each day
That's what I wanna say
And this is my song
And for too long I sang someone else's melody
It wasn't really me
Somehow I took myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes
You were the sun, I was the one who just
Revolved around you day and night
You were my only life but if I were free
Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me
Find who I wanna be
I'd never take myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me in someone else's eyes
I gotta show myself I can still exist without a man
Gotta finally take control, gotta see myself as whole with you
Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name
And I'll never be the same till I find a way back home again
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
When I, I can't, I and I will not, you can't make me
Ooh, someone else's eyes, ooh, baby, baby, baby
Till I find a way back home again
Through someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was, hey, caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love you through someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh
Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it
I, I love you, sweet baby, I wanna be with you, baby
Through someones else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh, baby
Oh yeah, someone else's eyes
I wanna be by your side
So long I hope we'll meet again
One day
And I'm hoping maybe then you'll say
Darling I found out I was wrong
So long
You leave me here to cry
It will never be goodbye
Because you been mine so long
All alone
With my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely like me too
You're my home
Even though we're far apart
I'm gonna keep you in my heart
So long, so long baby
Gee, I really hate to see you go
Because you are all and everything in my world and you know
That you been mine all mine so long
Skylark, have you anything to say to me
Won't you tell me where my love can be
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed
Skylark
Have you seen a valley green
Whispering
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows in the rain
To a blossomed covered lane
In your lonely flight
Oh haven't you heard
Music in the night
Wonderful music
Faint as the willow of the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy
Serenading the moon
Skylark
Oh I don't know if you can find these things
Oh if but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead
I've been all across the country
And I've stayed in every town
Because I'm trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
And you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found
I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said oh you look so lonely
So you look full of misery
And if you can't find your baby
Come and make your home with me
Well, I don't want to leave him
Because I know he's still alive
And someday I'm going to find him
And I'll take him for a ride
And we'll spend our days forever
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
one step ahead of misery
one step is all I have to take
backwards, to be the same old fool for you
I used to be
I'm only one step ahead of your arms
one kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can't afford to stop for one moment
Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips
Your warm breath on my shoulder
Keeps reminding me
That it's too soon to forget you
It's too late to be free, can't you see?
I'm only one step ahead of your love
I try and yet I can't take two
Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you.
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you.
Once in A Lifetime
by Aretha Franklin
Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling, won't you
hold me tight
And never let me go
Dry your eyes
No tears, no sorrow
Cling to me with all your might
And never let me go
A million times or more
We said we'd never part
But lately I find
You're a stranger,
stranger in my heart
Give me the right
In summer or in spring time
To tell the world you are mine
And you will never let me go
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Look for me when you see me comin' I may be runnin' I don't know
I may be tired and runnin' fever but I'll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio
So look out for me oh muddy water...
[ sax ]
Well I been down to the pain and sorrow I thought no tomorrow's comin' in
So I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide some place and find myself again
Look out for me oh muddy water...
Oh yeah, hoo
Mr.Bigstuff, who do u think u are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Not because you wear
All those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car
Oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford
To give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher,
Than every star above
Mr.Bigstuff, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Now I know all the girls
I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts
And ate them up bit by bit
You made them cry,
Many poor girls cry
When they trying to keep you happy,
They just trying ta keep you satisfied
Mr. Bigstuff,(tell me tell me), who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
I'd rather give my love
To a poor guy that has a love that is true
(Oh yeah)
Then to be fooled by,
And get hurt by you
Cause when I give my love,
I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson
Mr.Bigstuff you haven't learned
Mr.Bigstuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna break my heart
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna make me cry
love and you love
We love
Sweet love
I look and you look
And we found sweet love
And now we know
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
I kiss and you kiss
Each kiss sweet lips
I tease and you squeeze
And we find sweet bliss
That's how we know
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
I'm lucky
And you're lucky too
We're lucky
And we know it's true
Love is so wonderful
I give and you give
We live for love
Each night
Each day
We love sweet love
Cause ain't it so?
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
It was you
You made me love you
It was you
You made me need you
Darling darling

Darling darling darling darling
You made me love you
Yes you did
Yes you did
Hey baby hey baby
It was you who made me love you
Hey baby
Darling
It was you
People all around me
But I don't even have a friend
Lord knows I been trying
And he knows I just can't win
Everything I do yeah
Seems to turn out wrong
Sometimes I wish now
That I never been born, whoa
Nobody nobody cares
Nobody cares baby
You know I've had my share
Just ain't fair, (Just ain't fair)
Just ain't fair, (Just ain't fair)
Some folks got it easy
They live the life of love and play
Lord knows I got to struggle now
Trying to make my way, yeah
I'm walking all day
I'm gonna reach the town
I believe I hope I can make it yeah
Beacuse my feet ain't gonna let me stop
Talking about Jesus
Nobody nobody cares
Nobody cares
Baby I've had my share
Just ain't fair
Just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry about you
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta to make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that loves you, always true
Daytime, nighttime, anytime you call
I'll rush to your side, anytime you call
Just to be near you, you know
Anywhere I go, how could you hurt me so
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry about you
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
And If you gotta make a fool of someone
If you got to make a fool of somebody
I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the skies
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die
The birds in maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow
I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, Just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a song
"Glory Hallelujah," I just phoned the Parson
"Hey, Par get ready to call"
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, Just rolling along
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a song
"Glory Hallelujah," I just phoned the Parson
"Hey, Par get ready to call"
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall
I wish I didn't love you so, my love for you should have faded long ago.
I wish I didn't need your kiss, why must your kiss torture me as long as this.
I might be smiling by now with some new tender friend,
Smiling by now with my heart on the mend,
But when I try, something in my heart says no.

How I got over
How did I make it over
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
How I made it over
Going on over all these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
Tell Me how we got over 'LORD'
Had a mighty hard time coming on over
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did we make it over
Tell me how we got over 'LORD'
I've been falling and rising all these years
But you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
But, soon as I can see JESUS
The man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
and he hung on Calvary
And I want to thank him for how he brought me
And I want to thank GOD for how he taught me
Oh thank my GOD how he kept me
I'm gonna thank him 'cause he never left me
Then I'm gonna thank GOD for 'ole time religion
and I'm gonna thank GOD for giving me a vision
One day I'm gonna join the heavenly choir
I'm gonna sing and never get tired
And then I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round GODS alter
And I'm gonna shout all my troubles over
You know I've gotta thank GOD and thank him for being
so good to me. 'LORD YEAH'
How I made it over 'LORD' I had to cry in the midnight hour
coming on over, but you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
Tell me how I made it over 'LORD GOD LORD'
Falling and rising all these years
you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
I'm gonna wear a diamond garment
In that new Jerusalem, I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
It's the homeland of the soul
I'm gonna view the host in white
They've been traveling day and night
Coming up from every nation
They're on their way to the great Cognation
Coming from the north, south, east, and west
On their way to a land of rest
and their gonna join the heavenly choir
You know we're gonna sing and never get tired
and then we're gonna sing somewere 'round GODS alter
and then we're gonna shout all our troubles over
You know we gotta thank GOD and thank him for being
so good to me
You know I come to thank GOD this evening, I come to
thank him this evening, You know all night long
GOD kept his angels watching over me
and early this morning, early this morning
GOD told his angel GOD said 'touch her in my name'
God said 'touch her in my name'
I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning
I 'rose this morning, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I just gotta thank GOD, I just gotta thank GOD
I just gotta thank GOD, I just gotta thank him
Darling you send me. I know you send me
Honest you do [3x]
You thrill me, I know you thrill me
Darling you thrill me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But it lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
to marry you and take you home
You Send Me [3x]
Honest you do
Whenever I'm with you
Whenever I'm near you
Honest you do
I know when you hold me,
whenever you kiss me

Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . .
Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Make this moment live again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This might only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Oh, but tomorrow
But tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
It's in the way you say my name
Though I hear your voice, it's not the same
And in your eyes, I can't help but see a much different light
Than there used to be
You say hello and I want to die
'Cause deep down I know that it means goodbye
I can't let go, I just keep hanging on
Though you're standing there, you're as good as gone
Though you're standing there, you're good as gone
Are you falling out of love?
Baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
Your funny smile was all it took
And you said it all with just a look
Now I sit here and you sit there
We just talk and talk but we get nowhere
All we do is talk and get nowhere
Are you falling out of love?
Oh baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
Are you falling out of love?
Oh baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
I don’t want no body
Always sitting around me and my man.
I don’t want no body
Always sitting right there
Looking at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother, or my sister
Would you believe? I’ll get up, put on some clothes,
Go out and help them find somebody for themselves
If I can. Yes I will.
Now I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once and a while
Yes it is.
I tell you I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once in a while, yeah.
But oh, when me and that man get to loving
I tell you girls I dig you, but I just don’t have time
To sit and chit and sit and chit chat and smile.
Don’t send me no doctor
Filling me up with all of those pills
I got me a man named ‘Dr. Feelgood’
And oh, yeah that man takes care of all my pains and my ills.
His name is Dr. Feelgood in the morning.
Taking care of business is really this man’s game.
And after one visit to Dr. Feelgood
You’d understand why Feelgood is his name
Oh yeah, oh good God Almighty the man sure makes me feel real
Goooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!
Mood
Oh come back, baby
Oh mama please don't go, yeah
Cause the way I love you
Child you'll never know
Oh come back baby, yeah yeah

So come back baby, yeah yeah
Let's talk it over one more time
Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
How much I'm gonna miss ya
But, believe while I'm away, that i didn't mean to hurt you. Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself.
b/g-
I'd hurt myself
baby, baby, baby, think of me sometimes because if loving you was so wrong, then, I'm guilty of this crime.I'm bewildered,I'm lonely and I'm loveless without you to hold my hand. If you'd just understand
Bridge
Those that we love foolishly make cry then sometimes feel as bad, we say goodbye. But more than some can't be denied how, how I've loved in my life. Oh, Oh, Oh
Baby, baby,baby, baby,baby, this is just to say just how much I'm really gonna miss you.
But, believe while I'm away, that I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you. Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself -
Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you
(if I did you wrong, if I did you wrong)
I need you, I need you, I need you
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
I heard those rumours
You'll soon be gone
They say there's no use
In holding on
But I love you so
I will die
If I let you go
Say it's not true
No no no no I'm losing you (I'm losing you)
They say you're cheating
They tell me you lie
But later all change
The way I feel inside
And if it's so
Then don't tell me
Cause I don't wanna know
Say it's not true
No no no no I'm losing you (I'm losing you)
If I lost you
What would I do?
And after all, all we've been through
Com'on, com'on
Maybe she is only
Passion faith
Well if she is
You go and help yourself of lay
Cause when you're through
I'll be here
Waiting, waiting just for you
Say it's not true
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combin' my hair now
And wonderin' what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Say you love me too
Why don't you answer my prayer
You know every day I say a little prayer
I said I say, I say a little prayer
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
Billy Ray era filho de um pregador
E quando seu pai nos visitava, ele vinha junto,
Quando eles se reuniam e começavam a conversar,
Era quando Billy me levava pra passear,
Pelo quintal nós íamos andar
Então ele olhava nos meus olhos
Deus sabe, pra minha surpresa
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim, ele era
Ser bom não era sempre fácil
Não importa quão duro eu tentasse
Quando ele começava com sua conversa-doce pra cima de mim
Ele vinha e me dizia "Está tudo bem"
Ele me beijava e me dizia "Está tudo bem"
Posso fugir de novo essa noite?
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim ele era (sim, ele era)
Quão bem eu me lembro
O olhar nos olhos dele
Beijos roubados de mim na manha
Tomando tempo pra fazer tempo
Me dizendo que ele era todo meu
Aprendendo um com o outro, sabendo
Olhando pra ver o quanto nós tínhamos crescido e
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim, ele era
(O único que conseguiu me alcançar)
Ele era o filho de um pregador com conversa-doce
(O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar)
Era o filho de um pregador
(O único que conseguiu me alcançar)
Ele era o filho de um pregador com conversa-doce
(O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar)
Ah, me beije seu filho de um pregador
Looking out on the morning rain

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside

You make me feel so alive
You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
This is love, my darling
Can't you feel it?
When you really had me, concealing
I just can't be that way with you
The light of my life
And you don't even know it
How many ways can I show it
Wherever you are
I wanna be with you, baby
The joining of our hearts
The joining of our heads
With this ring, I thee wed
The love of my life
I trust you with my heart, dear
I trust you more when you're not here
This is your last chance
There'll be no backward glance
Are we on or are we through? (Repeat)
You feel it in your heart
You feel it down in your soul, baby
Oh, yeah
This is love
My darling
There's no denying it
In my responses
I was lying
Wherever you were
I wanted to be with you
Lover of my life
So many times
I wanted to be there
Oh darling
Just to be where
Wherever you were
I wanted to be there with you
The joining of our hearts
Joining of our heads
And with this ring I thee wed
The lover of my life
I'll trust you with my heart, dear
And trust you more when you're not here
I will be your wife
And I will love you, boy
So much more than the rest
I love you, boy
You are my joy
I love so much more than the rest
You are the king
You are the winner
Oh, boy, remember that
You are my joy
We've had a hard time, you and I
Life sent us through some changes
Oh, but somehow we got by
A winding road, a heavy load
Is nothing new, you see
We know that through the bad times
I'll have you and you'll have me
United together
I finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become as one
If we just keep this love alive
As time goes on this joy we know
Can't help but grow inside
Some people spend a lifetime
Looking for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad that we
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who'll love me forever)
We two have just become
(We two have just become as one)
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your only one
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your one and only, one and only
Some people spend a lifetime
Looking for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad, glad that we
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I have finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become
United together, 'gether
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become
(Ooh, yes, we have)
We two have just become
(Oh, yes, we have)
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me, love me, love me)
We two have just become
(We are, we are, we are)
United together

Who'll love me forever
Without a word of warning
The blues walked in this morning
And circled rund my lonely room
I didn't know why I had
That sad and lonely feeling
'till my baby called and said it's through
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
I know the explanation
But that's no constellation
No matter how your love
You can lose
And since I lost
I rather walk around and worry
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
But not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How faith can be unfair
It seems that I'm the one
To lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
But not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How faith can be unfair
It seems that I'm the one
To lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
tap on your window pane
I wanna tell you, baby
changes I've been going through, missing you
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
you had to set me free?
I'm gonna swallow my pride
and beg you to please see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
to prove that my love is true, all for you
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
Living for you, my dear
is like living in a world of constant fear
hear my plea
I've gotta make you see that our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
somehow I must explain
I'll have to rap on your door, tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp by your steps
until I get through to you
change your view
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna tap on your window pane, don't wanna wait in vain
I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
People movin, aw, ain't we groovin?
Just gettin the spirit in the dark.
Tell me sister, how do you feel?
Tell me my brother, brother, brother, how do you feel?
Do you feel like dancin? Then get up and let's start dancin
Start gettin the spirit, spirit in the dark
It's like Sally Walker sittin in a saucer
That's how ya do it, it ain't nothin to it
Rise, Sally, rise, put your hand on your hips
and cover your eyes, and move on with the spirit,
move with the spirit, hey now move, move with the spirit
in the dark
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah
So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.
Something is wrong, baby
Is the feelin' gone, baby
Maybe I need to refresh your mind
Think about the love we shared
Think back to the time we cared
Maybe you can find a reason to be here
Oh, I'm the one who loved you
I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold and lonely nights
I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I'm the one who's in love with you
And whose love never stops
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
Where did mine go
(Where did it go)
I never shoulda really let you know
You're about to make a big mistake
Now where do you think you
Find a love at all like mine
Maybe all you're gonna find is heartache
I'm the one who loved you
Yeah, yeah I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold, cold and lonely nights
I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I am the one who was there for you
And whose love never stops
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
Where will you go to find someone to love you like I do
You can play anything baby, 'cause you know that it's true
Sometimes a love like mine comes just once in your life
So you better better take it baby, and hold on tight
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
(You know it's true)
(I was there for you)
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
(In case you forgot)
In case you forgot
Remember me, hey
Remember me baby, baby
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
(I was there)
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
Now in these times of change, you know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state
Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, oh yeah
Woman to woman, we're singin' with you
The inferior sex has got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
Everybody, take a look around
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see there's a woman right next to you?
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves," oh yes we are
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now we ain't makin' stories and we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
When a woman still loves a man?
Just a same though
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
There was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
In these times of change you know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you
We say, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yes
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, oh oh yes
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
I said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie.
Just place my cradle, mammy mine,
Right on the Mason Dixon line,
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya.
Weep no more, my lady.
Sing that song again for me.
Soft and low, just as though
You had me on your knee.
A million baby kisses I'd deliver,
If you would only sing that Swanee River.
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little pray for you
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I´ll love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little pray for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little pray for you.
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.
My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.
Save me
Somebody save me
Save me
Somebody save me, yeah
Promised myself after the first romance
I wouldn't give ya a second chance
Said you seek, you're sure to find
A but the closer I get to you, baby
You drive me stone out-a-my-mind
Save me oh, yeah, save me yeah, yeah
Those who love always give the most
We're cryin' together from coast to coast
Love leaves us cold and hurt inside
These tears of ours are unjustified
Beggin' you to, save me
Yeah, need somebody to
Save me yeah hey hey hey
Yeah, yeah
Your love said you needed me
You abused my love, set me free
You didn't need, you didn't want me
Somebody help me, this man wants to taunt me
I'm beggin' you to, oh
Save me yeah, please, save me
Calling the Cape Crusader, Green Hornet Kado too
I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do
If you're thinkin' a thing about me
Save me oh yeah, yeah, c'mon
I just said, ?Save me baby c'mon?
Save me, save me

Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washes, oh, when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
He taught me how to watch
Watch and pray, watch and pray
And He rejoy every day, every day
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When my Jesus washes, oh when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day

[Verse 1]
My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can i find the page
that change what i experience today
[? Grace:]
Now i Know that life is ment to be hard
thats how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you i won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side.
[Chorus]
You can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stones you can break my bones
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith
Faith and Hope aint yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to Live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith
[Verse 2:]
My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
that when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really Won because all they've really done
is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will, will be done
You're more than just a joy, baby
You're more than just a joy, baby
Loving you tenderly is just what I need for me
Oh, the way you warm my buns sweet
Honey begins to run
You're more than just a joy, baby
You're more than just a joy
You're more than just a man, baby
Takes my kind of woman to understand you, baby
I'm sweet willing proof
Your one woman stock, best of breed
You know when I show I'll be just what my baby needs
You make it so easy
So easy to please me
I've had so many to find out
I really haven't had any
Your sincerity, baby, makes me true
I'm gonna stretch on out right here
And just go ahead and do what I've got to do
Give me good feelings beyond my mind's belief
But when it's finally over
I must confess that I'm relieved
You're more than just a joy, baby
Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh babe
Love was always supposed to be
Something wonderful to me
To watch it grow inside yourself
To feel your heart beside itself
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given all you can)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You do your best but it's still much too bad)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
True love
It has no hiding place
It's not something you just put away
It's always there inside of you
Ohhh, and it shows in everything you do
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given it your best)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You feel a thousand miles from happiness)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
Here we are, the two of us
So full of love, so little trust
But dying for some tenderness
Ooohhh, but too afraid to take the step
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know what it can put you through)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(There's nothing funny if it's killing you)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
I know if there is any chance
For us to find our happiness
We've got to learn to let it go
Ohhh oh, forget all the pain we knew
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
Sometimes it hurts it hurts to even laugh
And it hurts like hell
That's the way
Oh baby
Does he love me?
I wanna know!
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no! You need to see!
(Is it in his size?)
Oh no! You make believe!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
(Oh yeah! Or is it in his face?)
no girls! It's just his charms!
(In his warm embrace?)
no girls! That's just his arms!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
yeah!! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, oh, oh, honey !
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
promise love, and if it really is,
It's there in his kiss!
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
no no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I'm sayin'!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, oh, oh, hold him !
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
promise love, and if it really is,
well It's there in his kiss!
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
no no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I'm sayin'!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah ! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
mmmm ! Its in his kiss!
(that's where it is)
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it
I Knew You Were Waiting For Me

(Simon Climie, Dennis Morgan)
# From Aretha '86 / Greatest Hits 1980-1994
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith
(Chorus)
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
(Chorus)
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
It's Only Love

# From Tina live in Europe / Bryan Adams's "So far so good"
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry - it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters

Verse 1
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
Well, I'm
Livin in a world of ghetto life
Everyone Seems is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
with my man
People out there can you understand
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.
Repeat (1)
Repeat (2) to a fade
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Extra, extra
We heard the good news
We've come this far by faith
Pick up your pace and don't you be late
I'm here to tell you about the good news
There's something about the path that we choose
Wisdom has built this house now
Integrity will bring your pride out
If you know how to pray the situation out
You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news
He won't stop blessing you
Look here, what He'll do
Is keep testing you
And a beggar's no less than you
'Cause one day it could be you
So get your folks together for some church
Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt
Even if you don't like the preacher
There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil
Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people
And if you want to live your life upright
Pray that the Lord will hold up the light
What you need is love on your side
The power of love won't be denied
I feel comfortable giving you this advice
Don't make the same mistake twice
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news (Repeat)
These are the greatest days of our test of time
We need to be walking with a made-up mind
Walk by faith, not by sight
Then all your battles, you know He will fight
If the sky changes colors there's so many ways
This world's gonna be a better place some day
If love and unity, you just believe
Then all your blessings I know you'll receive
Glory to God in the Highest
Glory, Glory, Glory
Jesus, man who walked on water
Jesus, He's alright, He's alright
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
It's an ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall
Well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
And me, ever changing time
Everything is going so much faster
It seems like I'm
Watching my life, and everything I do
Wonder if the dreams that I believed in
Still come true
Caught in between, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together all of our lives
And I, I had some big idea
So much of my life, still not completed, hopes and fears
Watching it change, into something new
Wondering it I'm gonna find the answer, loving you
All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together all of our lives
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together
And we're gonna be alright, together all of our lives
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
{Fade}
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted leaving love unsure
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man
If you wanna do right all days, woman
You've gotta be a do right all night, man
Yeah, yeah, they say that, "It's a man's world"
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together, baby

If you wanna do right all days, woman
You've gotta be a do right all night, man
A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything

If you wanna do right all days, woman
You've gotta be a do right all night, man
Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man
Yeah, yeah
They say that it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right
All days woman

At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby if it's quite all right

Holy Moses, I have been removed,
I have seen the spectre, he was been here too,
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed
Holy Moses, I have been deceived,
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Holy Moses, I have been deceived.
Holy Moses, let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there,
What's his colour I don't care
He's ny brother let us live in peace
He's ny brother let us live in peace
He's ny brother let us live in peace

It's knowing that your
Door is always open
And your path is
Free to walk
That makes me know that
I can leave my sleeping bag
Behind your couch
It's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And your ink stains that
Have dried upon some line
Keeps you on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
It keeps you ever
Gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to
Some rocks and ivy
Planted on some column now
That binds me, no, it don't
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we
Fit together walking
It's knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When they turn around and find
That you're
Moving on the backroads
You're still on my memory
You're ever gentle on my mind
(Gentle on my mind, yeah)
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream, with nets of wonder
Truly young gifted and black.
Wo ward oh lowly, precious is
Oh when your,

When your young yeah thank you jesus, gifted and you black

Here in my book of memories

running in the rain, laughing in the sunshine
we used to share our kisses and dreams.
Now you´ve gone to some distant shore,
what happend to the boy next door?
Wherever you are I wonder if you´d cherish
the special joy we shared yesterday.
Do you still remember?
Do you still recall?
Memories so tender,
dind´t we have something after all?
Do you still remember?
Come here and let me breathe you in
oh you´ve haven´t lost that same old grin.
I know what you want and I´ll confess to one thing
I´ts never been as good as it was then.
Chorus
Why we fought each other?
I will never know.
But I can´t seem to shake the past.
If we had another chance to make it go
I wonder could we make it last?
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Oh close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

Like sweet morning dew, took one look at you
And it was plain to see that you were my destiny
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you
Like I would go where you lead
I'll be right there in a time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up that hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We've got our love and sure know that's enough
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need, baby, baby to get by
Yea, to go by
Like an eagle protect his nest, for you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree and dare anybody that try to move me
Darlin' in you I've found, strength where I was torn down
I don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you, I'll inspire you a little bitta higher
I know you can make a woman out of soul that didn't have a goal
'Cause we, we've got the right foundation
And with the love and determination

Nobody knows the loneliness I feel
(Got to have your love right now)
And I feel it because
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile
Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child
So come and fill my empty arms
The other night
As I lay sleeping
Whoah, I dreamed I held you
Held you in my arms
Well, but when I woke up this morning

Do you know that I hung my

Verse 1
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
each victory will help you some other to win;
fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Chorus
Ask the Savior to help you,
comfort, strengthen and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.
Verse 2
Shun evil companions, bad language disdain;
God's name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain;
be thoughtful and earnest, kind-hearted and true;
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Chorus
Verse 3
To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown;
through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down;
He who is our Savior our strength will renew;
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Feels like I've seen you before
Maybe in a past life, you were mine and I was yours
'Cause the vibe we share, feels so comfortable
Is it possible someone could make me lose control
Look what you've done to me, finding it hard to breathe
'Cause I just can't believe, you're feeling me like I'm feeling you
I had to pinch myself, 'cause nobody else has given me such a chill
And made me feel the way that you do
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
Questioning what this is if it's too good to be true
I don't wanna fool myself 'cause I'm fallin' hard for you
Givin' me that old school love, sayin' I'm the only one
Showin' me in so many ways, that you're crazy for me
Look what you've done to me, finding it hard to breathe
'Cause I just can't believe, you're feeling me like I'm feeling you
I had to pinch myself, 'cause nobody else has given me such a chill
And made me feel the way that you do, baby
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
I'd go anywhere, far away from here
It would be okay as long as you are there
You take away my pain and I'll never be the same
You've got my heart baby and I just want to say, baby
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby, here I am
By the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
'Cause he's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And it won't be long
No, it won't be long
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothin' been going on
And that's why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
My daddy told me
When he said goodbye
- Yes, he did
"I'll be back, baby
Baby, by and by,"
And that's why I waited
So doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am?
Because the man is coming home
So now, here I be
By the railroad tracks
Oh, waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I ain't had no loving
Since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen
And that's why I'm sure
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Mmm, and I'm so excited
My knees are shaking, yeah
Mr. Engineer
Don't you keep me waiting!
You hear me?
Telling you:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Baby, here I am
Oh, by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
Lord, on the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long
No, it won't be long
Ahh, yeah, I know
When the whistle blows
Hey, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I don't know about you, but
I know, yeah, I know
That it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Said it won't be long
All night long
One night, I could not sleep
For ringing in my ear
A melody began to sing
Oh, at first
The words I could not make out clear
The smog fields lifted away
And this is what I heard them say
It said without love
(Without love)
There's nothing you can do
Yes, it did
It said without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
All night long
He spoke to me
The words of wisdom rang
Beneath his sweet, soft melody
It said, don't you know
(Don't you know)
That a rich man can be poor
If wealth is all he has, hey
Without love
(Without love)
There's nothing you can do
(Do, do, do, do, do)
Don't you know
Without love
You're not even you
(Without love)
Can't you hear me talking to you
(Can't you hear us talking to you)
Without love, oh
The sorrow's even new
Yes, it is
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Hey, yeah
Without love
(Without love)
There's really so much you can do
Yes, it is
(Without love)
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Everybody sing now
Without love
(Without love)
There's so much you can do
(Without love)
Yes, it is
(Without love)
Yes, it is
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Sing it, sing it
One more time
Without love
(Without love)
There's so much you can do
(Without love)
(Without love)
Without love
Do you know you're not even you
Hey, hey, hey
Without you
With pen in hand
You sign your name
Today at five
I'll be on that train
And you'll be free
And I'll be alone
So alone
If you think
We can't find the love we once knew
If you think
I can't make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny
Can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play
All the games that little girls play
Hear what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night that she says her prayers
Well if you can do all these things
Then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you laid in that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
Or to hold me
And if you can forget
The good times we had
If you don't think
They out weigh the bad
Well then go ahead
Sign your name
And I'll be
On my way
I read her letters and I saw her picture
And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
It must have come from you
How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well, there just ain't no excuse
You shouldn't have been so loose
I saw the telephone bill
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can smooth it over
Then you're wasting your time
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
Ive been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
You're such a liar
You took her and her children
Out for the afternoon
While I was sittin' waitin' on you
How could you do it
You should've been here with me
You just couldn't do it
You had to be in the streets, uh
Well, I heard through the grapevine
You've been messin' around
When you thought you were gettin' over
Thats when my baby I found, oh
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(You really hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul cause love was blind
I cant explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose
I paid the rent, washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess, guess I I'm in love
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(Oh, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
(Although I must admit)
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
(I'm gonna mess around some time)
I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose
I paid the rent, I washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess guess I I'm in love
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, oh, baby, you hurt me, you hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
(I'm willin', I'm willin' and able)
'Cause you really, really, really
Why was I born, why am I livin'?
What do I get, what am I givin'?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
Without a word of warnin' blues
walked in this mornin'
and circled 'round my lonely room.
i didn't know why i had that sad
'n lonely feelin' until my baby called
and said we were through, hooo.
for yesterday this time
i sang a lovesong but today
... i'm singing the blues.
Hmmmm...
strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way
we were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah.
i'm alone again today
and it strikes me kinda funny
how fate can be unfair
that i come right on the losin' end
in every, every love affair!
yes it must be, it must be meant for me
that i should be the one,
be the one to always lose, hooo.
for yesterday!
yesterday this time i'd sing a love song whoaoohhh!
yeah, but right now - im singin the blues!
Sing it, sing it

We should believe
Believe in each other's dreams
Jesus left along time ago
And said he would return
But he left us a book to believe in
And in it we've got a whole lot to learn
Yeah, yeah, whoa, Holy Wholy

Love right now, love brother
You walked in on the sly scopin' for love.
In the crowd I caught your eye
you can't hide your stuff.
You came to catch - you thought I'd be naive and tame.
You met your match - but I beat you at your own game.
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby -
Who's zoomin' who - who's zoomin' who -
Who's zoomin' who - the fish jumped off the hook
Didn't I
baby - who's zoomin' who?
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby - . . .
Guess you believed the world played by your rules.
Here stands an experienced girl
I ain't nobody's fool.
Don't speculate - you thought you had me covered now
boy.
I've got your bait - but you're bound to be my lover.
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby - . . .
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby - . . .
You think you're smooth and you can pick and choose
When the time is right.
Just look behind
you'll be surprised to find
I'm gonna make you mine tonight.
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby -
Who's zoomin' who - the fish jumped off the hook
my boy.
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
baby -
Who's zoomin' who - didn't I
didn't I
didn't I
oh -
Who's zoomin' who - take another look and tell me
When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm,
Is the golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
