When we met, I always knew
I would feel the magic for you
On my mind constantly
In my arms is where you should be, mmm
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly freely
I want you in my life for all time
I-I-I-I-I-I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
I-I-I-I-I-I'm
We stand side by side
Till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
Say tonight will be just the start
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly freely
I want you in my life for all time
I-I-I-I-I-I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you
I-I-I-I-I-I'm
I love you here by me, baby
You let my love fly freely
I want you in my life for all time
I-I-I-I-I-I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
When I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
Caught up in the rapture of you
I-I-I-I-I-I'm caught up in the rapture of love
I-I-I-I-I-I'm caught up in the rapture of love
I-I-I-I-I-I'm
Tell me why
I love you like I do,
Tell me who
can stop my heart
as much as you,
Tell me all your secrets, and I'll
tell you most of mine,
They say nobody's perfect,
well, thats really true this time
I dont have the answers,
I dont have a plan
All I have is you,
So darling, help me understand
(What we do) - you can whisper in my ear
(Where we go) - who knows what happens after here
Let's take each other's hand as we jump
in to the Final Frontier
I'm mad about you baby,
[Scat style instrumental]
You don't have to prove to me
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own, of my own
You belong to me
Why'd you tell me this?
Were you looking for my reaction?
What do you need to know?
Don't you know I'll always be your girl?
You do not have to prove to me
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own, of my own
I can tell
You belong to me
You belong to me, baby
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Can it be baby that you are not sure?
You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book, I thought we'd locked the door
Baby, you don't have to prove
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own, of my own
I know darling
You belong to me
You belong to me, yes you do
Tell that woman something baby
I believe you know what I want you to say to her, yes
Want you to tell her baby
Tell her that I love you
Tell this woman, tell her
You belong to me, you belong to me
Everybody knows this baby
All of your friends
All of your friends, all of my friends baby
Told me this was goin' on
I can't stand it baby
What you doing, baby, what you doing?
What you doing, baby, what you doing?
Where you going, baby, where you going?
I feel you moving, slipping away
I try to call, but I can't find the
words to say
My lips move, ah but they don't make a sound
I hear your voice baby, but you're nowhere around
I close my eyes, I can't find my sleep
My wounds will not heal, you cut me too deep
My mind is strong but my spirit is weak
I got to get back on my feet
Well, you can be so cruel
Oh, that I just don't understand
Do the tears that I cry baby
Hey, does it make you feel like a man
And I told you once boy,
Oh baby let me tell you again
You can't do right cause you're the
Wrong man
Chorus:
You're the wrong man
You're the wrong man
You're the wrong man
I hear you calling, but I ain't no fool
I've got to be stronger
I've got to get over you
Each time I cry, its a sign of my pain
Every tear that falls, carries your name
All I know is it cannot go on
Everything I do for you is wrong
Ain't nothing I can say or can do
I just got to, I gotta get up child
I gotta move
Hear me baby
Tell me what you want me to do
Ain't my, my my my, ain't my lovin good enough for you
I told you once boy, baby lemme tell you again
You can't do right cause...
(Chorus)
You know I love you
But sometimes love ain't enough
And I don't wanna leave you
Baby but I'm giving you up
And I told you once boy
And I don't wanna tell you again
You can't do right cause
You're the wrong man
You can't do right baby
You can't do right baby
I'd rather lose you child
Than to lose my mind, yeah
Said I'd rather lose you, child
You can reach me by rail way
You can reach me by trail way
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like a Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
You can reach me by sail boat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way surely you'd be closer
I need you closer
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way surely you'd be closer
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better get here soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like a Arab man
I don't care how you get here
Just get here if you can
I need you right here right now
I need you here by my side
I don't care how you get here
I've always told you
I'd give anything
My baby, you've been
My best, my only friend
There's nothing like the joy you bring
I wonder what would happen
If you would trust in me
I'd make you believe
I'd make you see
No need to run from me
I'll make you feel
Like never before
Here I stand
Heart in hand
Help me find the door
Anybody can see
Baby you've been hurt before
Let me heal your pain
It won't ever hurt no more
Whatever it takes to make you happy baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile
Whatever it takes to make you feel good baby
I'll be around
One moment spent near you
Removes all my pain
Be a miracle soothe me
Your heart can move me
I can not explain
Burdens get heavy
Become too much to bear
Honey don't you say nothing
Hold on I'm coming
I want you to know
That I'll be there
I'll make you feel
Like never before
Willing and able baby
Open up the door
Anybody can see
Baby you've been hurt before
Let me heal all your pain
Never let you hurt anymore
(Musical interlude)
Whatever it takes to make you happy baby
Whatever it takes to make you smile
Whatever it takes to make you feel good baby
I don't understand your thinking
Don't know why, you do the things you do
Break my heart, and disregard my feelings
Breaking hearts, some kind of game to you
I tell you, you better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
baby listen, you better watch step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
It's so easy, to tease me
It's so easy, to let me down
It's so easy, to mislead me
It's so easy, to leave me hangin around
no where to come down.
Maybe we should just forget this
Maybe, just put me out of your mind
I won't stay, not while you mistreat me
I won't stay, It's just a waist of my time
I'm tellin you, you better watch your step
You'll fall and hurt yourself one day
baby listen, you better watch step
The look of love
Is in your eyes.
A look your smile
Can't disguise.
The look of love,
It's saying so much more than
These words could ever say.
And when my heart has hurt,
Well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you.
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you.
You've got that look of love.
It's on your face.
The look that time can't erase.
You're mine tonight.
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this.
Let's take what lover's found
And then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you.
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you,
Don't ever go.
Don't ever go.
Were we ever?, did we use it up too fast?
Are great moments never meant to last?
And the last thing that I want
Is to ever make your smile go away
Keep the momeries take the best of what we had
I can't stand to watch what once was great go bad
And if i can't be with you
Then I'd rather just remember what we knew
(Chorus)
When you love someone
And you love them with your heart
And it does't disappear if you're apart
When you love someone
And you've done all you can do - you've done all you can
When you set them free
And if that love is true
When you love someone
It will all come back to you
Nights i wondered, was i too much that we gave?
If we'd given more could we have both been saved?
And i guess we have crossed the line
Never knowing what was yours
And what was mine
(Repeat Chorus)
And through it all, i still have no regrets
Just promise me - promise me
You never will forget - you never will forget
When you love someone
And you have done all you can do
And you set them free and if that love is true
Sometimes I wonder why
I go on loving you this way
When I'm not sure that you are sure
That you will stay
Sometimes I wonder why
I go on hurting like I do
I guess this heart ain't very smart
It wants no one but you
But when I lay in your arms
Child, this isn't pretending
This is a real fairy tale
With a happy ending
This tightrope that I walk
A tightrope without a net below
And if I fall, child, I'll just fall
I want no one but you
Umm, but when I lay in your arms
Child, this isn't pretending
This is a real fairy tale
With a happy ending
Darling, this tightrope that I walk
A tightrope without a net below
If I fall, child, I'll just fall
Because I know, I know I'll love you till I die
Everybody wants to be a winner and take their place at the top
Everyone wants their name up in lights, for the good times never stop
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
(You gotta hold on)
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
(You gotta hold on)
And you can win, you can win
And everything is gonna be yours
When you cry the whole world laughs at you
They don't seem to understand
But the time will come when the tables turn
And you're gonna have the winning hand
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
(You gotta hold on)
Hold on a little longer
Try to be a little stronger
(You gotta hold on)
And you can win, you can win
And everything is gonna be yours
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
When you cry the whole world laughs at you
They don't seem to understand
But the time will come when the tables turn
And you're gonna have the winning hand
Sometimes the bad luck will creep up and catch you by surprise
Your mind's confused, you feel misused
You've got to leave those troubles behind
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you wanna cry, sometimes you play the fool
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Oh, want to squeeze me, have mercy
Baby, won't you tease me
Come on and squeeze me
I like it when you tease me
Like the way you shake your thang
Like the way you move
Love the way you so casually
Slide into the groove
You know, you take me so high boy
I don't want to come down
You don't have to be shy baby
As long as I'm around
Ooh, you love me so good
I could never love another
And I wish you would
Not be so undercover
Come on and squeeze me
Baby, won't you tease me
Come on and squeeze me
I like it, I like it when you tease me
Whenever I get lonely
I start thinking about you
Ooh, sweet baby you're the only one
Can do the things you do
You tickle my fascination
I get all caught up around you
Such a thrilling sensation
When you get into my groove
Hold me
Tell me I'm your one and only baby
Ooh, make it good tonight
I'm gonna make it feel so nice
Ooh, your love is so good
I can never love another
And I wish you would
Not be so undercover
Come on and squeeze me, have mercy
Baby, won't you tease me
Squeeze me
I like it, I like it when you tease me
Squeeze me, say won't you
Baby, won't you tease me
Come on and squeeze me
Say baby, won't you tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
Squeeze me
Tease me
It's right, it's real baby, it's true
Yeah the sun and the moon
Revolve around only you
And the magic that you do
How could I be blue, not around you
Always on my mind, I need you baby
Darling would you mind if I hold on tight
And love you for the rest of my life?
Honey how could you love me?
How could you love me like this?
I said I never knew just what I missed
How could you love me like this?
You're part of my heart
You're almost close as my skin
Baby where have you been all my life?
I said it's alright, it feels just like my dreams
Only now that I got the real thing yea yea
Always on my mind, I need you baby
Darling would you mind if I hold tight
And love you for the rest of my life?
Honey how could you love me?
How could you love me like this?
I said I never knew just what I missed
How could you love me like this?
And it gets sweeter
Sweeter as the days go by
And it gets better
It keeps getting better baby
Better with time
And time, babe, oh baby
Yes love me like this
I said I never I never I never knew
(Maggie Ryder, Phil Nicholl & Graham Lamb)
Love was meant to be loving
So many times we don't give, we take
Love has really no conception to this rule
Days you gave me were numbered
And as a rule they were hard to take
All it took was the number of a fool
Rules were made to be broken
So many hearts break the some way too, aw baby
I said that you ain't no exception to the rule, yes sir
Your answer begging my question
It seems I left you too late to ask
Was this really your intention
From the start
The nights you left me are empty, baby
As for the answer, they changed the past
I tried to let you explain your change of heart
How could you change your mind
Rules were made to be broken
So many hearts break the some way too, aw honey
I said that you ain't no exception to the rule
How could they say
It would be better this way... without you
When by the usual rules
I kept presuming that you would stay, baby
So many hearts break the same way too, now mister
I said that you ain't no exception to the rule
You...
Gonna get on my bad heart
Just like everybody asks you
You've gotta help baby
You've gotta help me convert, too
CHORUS
With the rhythm in our lovin'
There ain't nothing I can't do
When I feel the beat of love
Go on and on and on with you
I don't have to worry
There ain't nothing you won't do
To give your love to me
And I give my love to you
I know what you like, you just what to do to me
The rhythm is right, we have fun with harmony
You got the bass, I can pick up the pace, yeah, yeah
There's no time to wait
A perfect love is what you make of it
When our bodies move, we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be like you and me
CHORUS
So good together, some people work better solo
But I could never be without you, oh no
I'd miss your touch, as it is I can't get enough, yeah, yeah
I'm in heaven above
I give you a melody that's always new
You've got a good beat, I can dance to you
Spinning for as long as we can
Come on let's jam
CHORUS
Le beat de jour c'est le beat d'amour
A perfect love is what we me make of it
When our bodies move we're syncopated
I never knew that two could be like you and me
When you ask me how I feel about you
I try to find the words that best describe you
You are to me like a precious jewel, so valuable baby
Think it shine so bright lighting up my life, with pure delight
You are so priceless to me and loving you has made me see
With your love I can do most anything
You are so priceless to me, you're like the first rainbow in spring
Your love comforts my heart with joy you bring
I envision you and me in love together
Getting closer, as we share each day together
Gimme all the gold in the world, it will not replace this love baby, yeah
Take a diamond ring, a worth a lot what we got cannot be bought or sold
You are so priceless to me and loving you has made me see
With your love I can do most anything
You are so priceless to me, you're like the first rainbow in spring
Your love comforts my heart with joy you bring
Never had a lover, babe
My baby, my baby, my darlin'
You are so priceless to me and loving you has made me see
With your love I can do most anything
You are so priceless to me, you're like the first rainbow in spring
Your love comforts my heart with joy you bring
You are so priceless to me and loving you has made me see
With your love I can do most anything
You are so priceless to me, you're like the first rainbow in spring
Your love comforts my heart with joy you bring
You are so priceless to me and loving you has made me see
Verse 1:

Child I love you with an open hand
If you should ever need me,
You know where I am
(Chorus:)
I've got room, plenty of room
Never lonely again
Just open my door, come on in
Cause I got room, plenty of room
You'll never be lonely again
Open my door, come on in
Cause I got room
Don't you know I love you child
Wherever, wherever you roam on your own
Lord knows it gets cold outside
And if you, you should want to come home
Come on home
You know I don't lie
Should the world outside make you wanna cry
Don't you be shy darling
Why don't you come on by
Cause I got room
(Chorus)
Oh right now would be a good time to find
That you have walked into my room
Any time is a good time, baby
It ain't never too late, baby, never too soon
Love, is all I wanna give
I wish I knew what you were gonna do
And ain't no one in the world, boy
But me and you, you know that its true
Sit down at my table
Til your spirit is fed
Lay your burdens by the fire
Rest your worries in my bed
I'll never leave you lonely, oh boy
Now don't you hear what I say
Lord, I got room
(Chorus)
We used to laugh
Now all we do is cry
You used to make me happy
Now you don't even try
You're hurting me, yeah
You're doing me wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Soon you're gonna be gone
And I know I'm gonna miss you
My love I will send with you
'Cause I, I've been down, been down too long
And you, you keep doing me wrong
And there'll be no more tears for you
And gonna be no more crying now
And gonna be no more tears for you
See my eyes have run dry and there's no more tears
And no more saddened eyes
From crying through the night
I'm gonna gather up, gather up my feelings
And lock them all inside
So when you say you're leaving
And you walk out my door
I'll, I'll catch a moment, say to myself
You cannot hurt me anymore
And I know I should be crying
Instead I'm slowly dying
'Cause all my love has gone
From two hearts so badly torn
And there'll be no more tears for you
And gonna be no more crying now
And gonna be no more tears for you
See my eyes have run dry and there's no more tears
And I know I'm gonna miss you
But for love I've got me someone else
'Cause I, I've been down, been down too long
And you, you keep doing me wrong
And there'll be no more tears for you
And gonna be no more crying now
And gonna be no more tears for you
'Cause I see my eyes have run dry and there's no more tears
Ain't nobody crying, oh oh eyes
Dry, my eyes, oh
Lord knows it's gonna be fine
It's gonna be alright after a while
I'm gonna be alright if you would leave
Surely won't you try alright, surely won't you
Surely won't you try, baby tonight?
I'm gonna be alright
Lord knows I don't need you no more, baby
I'll make it on my own, on my own
FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE KNOW WHAT HEARTACHE IS AND WE FELL THE PAIN THE WORLD CAN SOMETIMES BRING.FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE CRY IN THE NIGHT. WITHOUT A SINGLE SONG TO SING.BUT ONE DAY ALL WILL CHANGE.

Where did you go
I've been looking for you
Where did you go
I'm pacing the floor
When you're gone from me
I'm pacing this floor
Baby I stand by you so close
Caution is not my approach
My heart I expose
Baby I love you
More than you know
Wasting my time
Everybody says
I'm wasting my time
I must reply
That the time I waste
Is certianly mine
Darlin' I stand by find out
Also wonder why
Your eyes don't meet mine
My heart I expose
Oh baby I love you
More than you know
Oh baby I expose to you
To know
Darlin' I stand by you so close
Caution is not my approach
My heart I expose
Baby I love you
More than you know
I stand by you
More than you know
Love I assure you
More than you know
Baby, baby I love you
More than you know
Darling I know
I'm such a lucky woman
Folks don't understand
How I handle so much loving
From more than one man
Ask me how I do it
My time's in such demand
From sunrise down to sunset
Do the best that I can
Chorus:
'Cause I know that I could never choose just one
'Cause the three men in my life
Theyt're my husband and my sons yes
Tell you one is tall and handsome
One is full of life
The big one steals my covers
In the m idle of the night
Each one swears they need me
And I believe they're right
'Cause the young ones call me Mommy
And the other calls me wife
And I never knew that I could love as much
'Cause the three men in my life
They're my husband and my sons
Hush, hush, hush, hush
Hush, hush, hush, hush, now
Oh someday they're gonna leave me
Gonna strike out on their own
Off to raise a family
Little babies of their own
I'll be here with daddy
Just as happy as you please
To watch the branches growing on our family tree
And I know that I could never love just one
Never knew that I could ever love so much
And I know that I could never in my life
'Cause the three men in my life
Are my husband and my sons
Hush, hush, hush, hush
When I say to you that my love is true
Do you believe me?
And when I try to give my love to you
Do you receive me?
When I try to do my best and you put me to the test
Baby, do you deceive me?
So baby, do what you gotta do and when [Incomprehensible]
You're gonna need me
Don't confuse your mind with what
What the other people say
'Cause you will see in time baby that my
My love is here to stay
They gonna try to come between us baby
We can't let them in our way
We have got a good thang going
Don't you let it slip away, yeah
Don't you let it slip away, yeah
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Now I can deal with the problems
That the world has put on me
But sometimes it just gets so hard and I
I just feel so weak
I really need you baby, baby to believe in me
'Cause the more you do, the better I'll be
And I promise you, I'll never leave
'Cause this is where I want to be, yeah
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
Don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay with me valentine, stay
Each day's valentine's day
Baby, don't change your hair for me
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you baby, are you smart?
Don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, why don't you stay with me baby?
Each day is valentine's day
Stay, doo wee day
Every day is
Every night is
Every day
(Micheal O'Hara, Sami McKinney & Alex Brown)
When I think about how much I'm loving you
No limitations, no set of regimented rules
I'm amazed how much this love has touched my life
And the commitment that we share is a welcome sacrifice
This must be, sweet fatal attraction
My life-long date with destiny
Love this strong, it just brings out the passion
I never knew was here in me
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
Just because you're you
You're a diamond in my mind. a treasure found
A precious gem to me. you're so nice to have around
I'm so glad I took the path that led to this
And it's amazin' loving you, I'm doin' things
I never thought I'd do
I don't know, there ain't no explanation
Of why I'm sharin' love at last this way
I won't try to work out all my reasons
I'II use these words to simply say
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby.
Could it be that there's more to this than meets the eye
Maybe that's the reason why
All I know is when I'm in your arms it feels all right
I'II hold you tight and I come alive
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
til fade
Life is always changing
Constant rearranging
But nothing changes with you
You never do
I go to different places
See a million faces, but
None as fine as you
Baby I have the honor
To love someone kind and true
I thank my lucky stars
For bringing me here to you
Like water flows down from a hill
And yellow grows on daffodils
I'm gonna learn to love you better
To the letter, baby
Like morning dew on southern pines
And honey that bees leave behind
I'm gonna love you sweet to the letter
You'll find no better
Baby baby love me so
oh won't you love me so
The look thats in your eyes
Gets me the color red
My strength I draw from you
You know i do, babe
The depth inside your soul
Fills my well of fantasies
I fill my cup with you
Baby I have the honor
To love someone kind and true
I thank my lucky stars
For bringing me here to you
Like water flows down from a hill
And yellow grows on daffodils
I'm gonna learn to love you better,baby
To the letter, baby
Like morning dew on southern pines
And honey that bees leave behind
I'm gonna love you sweet to the letter
You'll find no better
Babe, ya love me so
Oooh I know you love me
Baby I got the honor
To love someone kind and true
Thank my lucky stars
For bringing me here to you
Like water flows down from a hill
And yellow grows on daffodils
I'm gonna learn to love you better
To the letter
Like morning dew on southern pines
Honey that bees leave behind
I'm gonna love you sweet to the letter
You'll find no better
Oooh, you love you me so
Baby you love me so
When I'm all alone and I hear your voice
No other man can make me feel the way you do
I can't describe this feeling inside
I can't sleep at night ooh
Home is where you belong
That's what I tell myself when you're gone
Every night I say a prayer hopes you make it there
Anyone alone like me, I'm certain they'd agree
'Cause I can't sleep at night
Chorus:
Loneliness is my biggest fear
I wish the feeling would disappear
I can't sleep at night
Coldness is creepin' in
Need to feel your warmth again
I can't sleep at night no
Holding you so very close
That's what I need the most
And it's your job to go around and
Share your gifts from town to town
I hope I'm not misunderstood
The man that treats me so good
But I can't sleep at night
When I pick up this phone
And I hear your voice telling me
You cannot wait until you're home
I can't describe this feeling inside
I can't sleep at night 'cause
Chorus:
I need you to hold you in my arms
Honey how can I be strong
'Cause I can't sleep at night
I need a love I need your thrills
I'm sick and tired of taking pills
'Cause I can't sleep at night
Ooh holding you so very close
That's what I need the most
And I know it's your job to go around
Share your gifts from town to town
Anyone's who's alone like me
I'm sure they'd agree
'Cause I can't sleep at night
Sick of holding my pillow tight
Operator
Get my baby on the line
Just the other night
We had a horrible fight
I admit that I
I was out of control
But I still love my man
With my body and soul
When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant
To treat my baby that way
~chorus~
I apologize
Oh, believe me I do
I apologize
Honest and true
Because I know I was wrong
So I sing you this song
And I'm tryin' to get through
To make it up to you, yeah
Operator
It was like a bad dream
Lord, you should have heard
The way he shouted and the way that I screamed
I regret it cause I was unfair
I took it all out on him
Just because he was there
When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant to treat my daddy that way
~repeat chorus~
I apologize
'Cause I was unkind
And I wish that I could go back in time
Erase our goodbyes
And rewrite my lines
But come rain or come shine
I'm gonna do it right this time
I had a dream
A love dream so tender
You were with me old friend
We gave in to sweet surrender
And I've held it in through October,
November
No wonder...
I never been the same since then
I picked up my phone
A million times to call you
But I lost my nerve
Cause every time I saw you
Like a lovesick kid,
Child it was my paranoia
You'd laugh, but instead
You read these thoughts inside my head
And its you...
(Chorus:)
Its been you all the time
You're changing my whole state of mind
It took just a minute
But now that I'm in it
Its you
Its been you all the time
Like somebody turned on a light
You're gonna watch me shine
Its been you all the time
Now when you smile
The world opens up for me
You're just my style
And inside I do believe
We're two of a kind
How could I be so blind
My heart, its sincere
I believe I've wanted you for years and years
(Repeat Chorus)
Now to think you've always been right here
And loneliness has been my greatest fear
Until I saw the answers in your eyes
Yes I did
And at last its clear
Now I see that
You're the only one....for me....
Now you can count on me for anything you choose
Say but the best that I can offer is love true
Still I know you wonder why
This love of mine seems to die
As if I
Live in the clouds and you live in the sea
Now you can bet your bottom dollar
That I love you
Now for a basic fact like that
You'll need no clue
I just hope you think I'm good enough
I hope you think I'm girl enough
I hope you believe in chemistry for two
I really do, I, I do
My my baby, I'm telling you honey...
For your love baby,
Said I would walk thru fire
For your love honey
Said I would reach my highest ground
For this love baby
There ain't nothing that can turn me around
And I'll never let you down
For your love baby
I'd take a walk thru fire
For your love honey
Said I would reach my highest ground
For your love baby
There ain't nothing that could turn me...
I'd die for your love, lie for your love
I'd even touch the sky, for your love...
Baby bet your bottom dollar
That I'm gonna love you
Said for a basic fact like that
You'll need no clue
I hope you think I'm good enough
I hope you think I'm girl enough
I hope you believe in chemistry for two
I tell you, I hope you think I'm girl enough
I hope you think I'm good enough
I hope you believe in chemistry for two
I really do...
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
If I could I'd give you the world
Wrap it all around you
Won't be satisfied with just a piece of this heart
My angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
Dreams are dreams, some dreams come true
I found a real dream, baby, when I found you
You're so strong, but tender too
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
Love like ours is heaven sent
Each day a day to remember
I feel so safe, feel secure with you
You give me love, you keep right on givin'
Fill me up, baby, with the joy of living
When things get tough I can always turn to you
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Love the way we touch, I love the way it feels
Every time you're near me my poor heart just won't keep still
No doubt about that this love I feel is real
Ask me to go with you, you know I will
Hold me near, hold me tight
Only you can make it real, only you make it all right
Just let me know that I am special to you
My angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
Oh, angel
You're my angel
I won't be neglected
I won't be denied
The pleasure of your kissed
The pleasure of your smile
I think you take for granted
I'll always be here
Just because I love you
It doesn't mean I won't disappear
CHORUS
Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
Been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
Thoughts and mellow memories
Of once upon a time
Slowly creepin' on me
And they linger on my mind
Just let somebody love you
I just don't know why
Whenever I get close to you
You want to run and hide
CHORUS
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
It's been so long . . . of missin' you, baby
We began lovers' dance
The road was smooth to romance
And we sang love sweet song every day
I believe that love would stay in my heart
Now it's torn all apart
It's gone away, I can't stay, I've got to say
I don`t believe that you could do me this way
Now don't you understand
I'm in need of comfort
The comfort of your hand in mine
And what I feel inside
Why don't you come closer
I can't hide
Been so long
Been so long . . . can't hide
Been so long
Been so long . . . it's too long, won't you come on, baby
Been so long . . . won't you come home, see about me
see about me
I can remember stories, those things my mother said
She told me fairy tales before I went to bed
She spoke of happy endings then tucked me in real tight
She turned my night light on and kissed my face good night
My mind would fill with visions of perfect paradise
She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice
He'd ride up on his horse and take me away one night
I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight
She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie
She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye
The story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise
Of fairy tales, no
She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this
She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince
She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas
I'd understand the story, it would be good for me
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
My story end, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise
No fairy tales, yes
I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby
Need reality, now, said I
Don't feel the need to be pacified, don't cha try
Honey, I know you lied
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly
I found the poison apple, my destiny to die
No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin
My fantasy is over, my life must now begin
My story end, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise
No fairy tales, hey, hey
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey ha hey haa, hey ha hey hey
Stars up in the sky
Said, "Your heart, won't lie hard to me"
You speak, and dreams are real
You're free to follow what you feel
Close your eyes and see
(Close)
Life's no mystery
(Life's)
Dreams become reality
(Dreams become reality)
Oh, close your eyes and see
(Close your eyes and see)
Sight of heart, instead of mind
Open eyes still travel blind
We stumble in the dark
See things clearly with your heart
Close your eyes and see
(Close)
Life's no no, no mystery
(Life's)
Ooh, your dreams become reality
(Dreams become reality)
Yeah, if you close your eyes and see
(Close your eyes and see)
Come and fall through a cloud of job doubts
Fall through clouds of fear, clouds of fear
Fall into my arms, baby
Touch this feeling, feeling's believin'
Follow your heart, heart
(Close)
Follow your heart, baby
Your in love
Life's no mystery, memory
(Dreams become reality)
Dreams become reality, when you
(Close your eyes and see)
See with your hearts
See with your spirit
Not with your mind, not with your eyes
(Micheal O'Hara, Sami McKinney & Alex Brown)
When I think about how much I'm loving you
No limitations, no set of regimented rules
I'm amazed how much this love has touched my life
And the commitment that we share is a welcome sacrifice
This must be, sweet fatal attraction
My life-long date with destiny
Love this strong, it just brings out the passion
I never knew was here in me
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
Just because you're you
You're a diamond in my mind. a treasure found
A precious gem to me. you're so nice to have around
I'm so glad I took the path that led to this
And it's amazin' loving you, I'm doin' things
I never thought I'd do
I don't know, there ain't no explanation
Of why I'm sharin' love at last this way
I won't try to work out all my reasons
I'II use these words to simply say
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby.
Could it be that there's more to this than meets the eye
Maybe that's the reason why
All I know is when I'm in your arms it feels all right
I'II hold you tight and I come alive
I love you just because
I love you just because
Just because I do, my darlin'
Emotions more than words can help me say
I love you, baby, just because you're you
What have you done to me?
I can't eat, I cannot sleep
And I'm not the same anymore, no no
I don't know what to do
'Cause all of me wants all of you
Do I stand alone at the shore?
Now once I could turn away
From everything I feel today
But now I wanna walk through your door
And I've got to know, know, body and soul
That you've got no doubt inside and out
We are whole, whole, body and soul
Don't leave me out in the cold
Just love me body and soul, body and soul, soul
(Do you hear me, baby?)
I've wasted too much time
Living for what wasn't mine
And then came the day I found you
And now I want nothing less
I've found a love that is truly blessed
And I want to make dreams come true
But I've got to know, know, body and soul
That you've got no doubt inside and out
We are whole, whole, body and soul
Don't leave me out in the cold
Just love me body and soul
Every day is getting better
The more I trust I feel stronger and stronger
Every kiss brings me closer
It feels good to love you inside, yeah, yes
(I've got to know, oh)
Is there any doubt in your mind, oh yeah
(We are whole, whole)
Hold me, baby, hold, hold body and soul
Don't leave me out in the cold
Just love me, hey, love me, hit your body, baby
(We are whole, whole)
Is there any doubt in your mind?
(We are whole, whole)
Tell me baby, tell me darlin', call my soul
Just love me but I never knew love
Just love me, body and and soul
Body and soul, soul
Body and soul, soul
Body and soul, soul
Body and soul, soul
With all my heart I love you, baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe
CHORUS
I'm in love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way
Oh your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we`re feeling
Never leave `cause baby, I believe
CHORUS
In this love, sweet love
Hear me calling out your name, I feel no shame
I'm in love, sweet love
Don't you ever go away, it'll always be this way
No stronger love in this world
Oh baby no, you`re my man, I`m your girl
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this where you belong
Sweet, sweet and lovely baby
Stay right here, never fear
I will be all that you need
Never leave, `cause baby, I believe
I can smell the scent of fresh cut grass
You know it kind'a took me back
To yesterday when we was young, oh so young
I remember we were so scared
To even hold each other's hands
But still we fell so deep in love
When did it start to rain?
How did things get so strange?
When did it go astray baby?
'Cause you don't love or want me
Sometimes I think that you don't know me
I just need for you to show me
Oh like you used to do, oh yea
Like you used to do, baby umm
You were my Weezy, you were my Boo
You was my Thelma, damn I was into you
Why can't it be that way again baby
You were my Marvin, my Billy Dee
Oh baby my, my, my sweet melody
Why can't you play that music today?
I wanna play baby
When did it start to rain?
How did things get so strange?
When did it go astray?
Girl you don't want me, need me
Girl you don't even try to please me
I would if you would squeeze me
Like you used to do, ooh
Like you used to do, yeah
You don't hear me, you don't feel me
Sometimes I think you don't even see me
Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah
Like you used to do, baby baby
Like you used to do, umm
Like you used to do
When we gonna do it like we used to
When we gonna do it
Like you used to do
When we gonna do it like we used to do
When we gonna do it
Tell me when did it start to rain?
How did things get so strange baby?
When did it go astray?
I wanna know when did it start to rain
How did things get so strange ?
I wanna know, I wanna know baby?
Well you don't hear me, you don't feel me
Sometimes I think that you don't see me
Well girl I would if you believed in me yeah
Like you used to do
Like you used to do, baby
Like we used to do
Like you used to do
Like you used to do
When we gonna do it like we used to do
When we gonna do it
Like you used to do
When we gonna do it like we used to do
When we gonna do it
Like you used to do
When we gonna do it like we used to do
When we gonna do it
Chorus: You're the best thing yet, to ever come into my life
An understanding hand, when the world calls me grand
You protect my heart, right from the start
Sensitive vibes are strong and true
The very best I've always shared with you
And if I should fall, or if I'm standing tall
I can see you standing there, always willing to share
Each and every part of me
You see things I never, never see
(Repeat chorus twice)
Deep down in my mind, I wonder at the blessing that I could find
Someone as loving as you
Could bring into my life this feeling so right
And so true
Like the flowing waters of a silver stream
And like the misty vision in a midnight dream
Such a wonder of life to me
So rare is found such a reason to be
(Repeat chorus twice)
Like the flowing waters of a silver stream
And like the misty vision in a midnight dream
Such a wonder of life to me
So rare is found such a reason to be
(Repeat chorus twice)
Vamp: You're so wonderful
You're so beautiful
You're the best thing yet
To ever come into my life
Got the sun in the morning
I got the moon at night
I got your arms around me, everything's alright
Holding you tight is how I like to spend the rest of my life
Feel the warm breeze blowin' down through the trees
I got your love beside me, child that's all I need
My heart and soul is wide open to you
Nobody but you sweet baby
No one but you yeah
Chorus:
Got to know that I want you baby
Got to know that I need you darling
I just want to say
You're my everything
Like in all the songs I sing
Of happiness and joy you bring
I just want to say
You're my everything
Just wanna hold you, how I adore you
You got that special touch
That I long for oh so much
Oh I'm amazed at how you right all that's
Wrong in my world
All I am and I hope to be
Is 'cause of you and what you do
You bring out the best in me
My heart and soul is wide open darling
Nobody but you sweet baby
No one but you yeah
Chorus:
Got to know that I want you baby
Got to know that I need you darling
I just want to say
You're my everything
Like in all the songs I sing
Of happiness and joy you bring
I just want to say
You're my everything
Child you possess all that a true love should be
'cause I'm forever lovin' you
You keep lovin' me yeah oh baby
Got to know that I want you baby
Got to know that I need you darling
I just want to say
You're my everything
Like in all the songs I sing
Of happiness and joy you bring
I just want to say
You bring me joy when I'm down oh, so much joy
When I lose my way your love comes smiling on me
I saw your face and them I knew we would be friends
I was so afraid but your arms, they'd say, ?Come to me?
So I'd say to you, "Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say, "Alright" when you love me, I smile
I feel you hands and you feel mine
You bring me joy
You bring me joy, don't go too far away
If I can't see your face, I will remember that smile
But can this be right or when should we be friends?
I get lonely sometimes and I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
My joy, my joy
I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just love you, can't you see?
I'll show my finest thing, I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy
My joy, you're my joy
My joy, my, my joy
Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
I just love you, baby, I just love you, baby, I just love you
When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me
Something has come over me
A feeling I can't explain
The love I lost I found again
My broken heart you came to mend
But it still seems as though
We are miles and miles apart
The very best is all I got
It's all I got to give
My soul was lost in a darkness
But you arrived to see me through
And you came to me all by surprise
Then I moved the darkness right out of my eyes
And it's plain to see that you were all I need
And I wanna know
Will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
This kind of love only comes around
Only once in a lifetime
But the last love I tried to hold
It left me feelin' so empty and blue
And it made me afraid
To let my true feelings show
I need you here right by my side
Each and every night
My soul is cryin' out to you
It's reaching out for somethin' true
Do I have to go to get you into my life
The suspense is tearing me, tearing me apart
Won't you bring your life?
Bring it all to me
So we can live together eternally
Will you be mine?
Will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Oh baby, would you be, would you be mine?
Will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Sugar will you be mine?
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Ooh, baby, baby, baby
You stand all alone on your own
Please come inside from the storm
Stand where it's warm, I can see you're in need
Baby, please talk to me now
Swear nothin' is wrong, you're so strong
Baby don't hold this inside
Relax your pride let it go, set it free
My baby, talk to me now
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through, darlin'?
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through?
I can help you if you let me baby, yes I can
I understand, here's my hand
Why stand alone in the dark open up your heart
Let this go, set it free
Now my baby, talk to me now
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through, darlin'?
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through?
I can help you if you let me baby, yes I can
I understand
That you're only one man
So much you can't take, baby
Yes, I understand that you've only got two hands
Stare into space
I see shadows of pain across your face
You avoid my advice
You avoid my embrace baby
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through?
What's wrong, wrong with you?
Why don't you tell me what you're going through?
I won't tell a single soul
My my my baby, yeah, yeah
You got to hang on to, we got to talk about it
No doubt about it let it go, set it free, baby
I'd like to listen, I'd like to listen baby
Tell me, tell me everythin', baby baby
I will understand, I will understand, I promise baby
Tell me now, tell me, tell me, oh
I believe, hey, hey, baby
Talk about it baby, talk to me
Don't you hold nothin' in baby
Don't you hold it babe
Ain't no reason
Ain't no reason in the world for you to do this baby
Not like this ain't no reason
If I lost you now it would take my heart from me
I can't imagine life without the love of you, baby
Lately I confess, I've been short on tenderness
Too much time on work I guess, not enough for you
Now if I forgot to tell you "I love you"
I really got no excuse, no excuse
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
You're my soul's inspiration
And if I didn't say it then I do now
You're my sweet inspiration, baby, baby
If I'm feeling low, I've only got myself to blame
'Cause I can always share the load when I'm near you
You can rescue me, baby, you bring out the best in me
I'm the girl I wanna be when I'm near you
I may need reminding to say "I love you"
But Heaven knows that I do, yes I do
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
You're my sweet sensation
And if I didn't say it then I do now
You're my soul's inspiration
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
You're my sweet sensation
And if I didn't say it, baby, I do now
You're my soul's inspiration
From the day I met you, baby
Yes, I knew instinctively
Whatever our future
Together we were gonna be, baby
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
You're my sweet sensation
And if I didn't say it then I do now
You're my soul's inspiration
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
And if I didn't say it then I do now
Because you're beautiful, my one desire
Oh the last time I saw you
You looked so good baby
There was moonlight everywhere
Oh and God only knows How I hated to leave you standing there
You know I told you
That I wanted to hold you
But the moment was not right
So I took off down the raod
For another lonely night
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say good night to you
I wanna hold you all night long
Chorus:
Baby this is serious
Baby, baby, this is serious
This is serious for the two of us
Serious
Oh all day long I keep thinkin' about you
And I'm ready to give in
'Cause I may never find anybody like you again
You see nobody's ever made me want to
Do what I'm 'bout to do
Because I found everything
And it's all wrapped up in you
Oh I wanna spend my life with you
Baby tell me is that so wrong
I don't ever want to say goodbye to you
I wanna hold you all night long
I can hardly believe what I'm sayin'
All my lifetime I've been prayin'
To find somebody who's heart's not taken
And I believe you're the one
No I don't mean at all to upset you
Honey I knew from the moment I met you
If I could find a way to get you
I'd have to fall in love
Baby get serious
Baby, baby, wanna be serious
This is serious about the two of us
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
Every night I want you by my side
So I can love you
(Anita Baker)
I thought I told you everything
You needed, needed to know
I thought I gave you everything
And then you, you decided to go.
Ooh, you know I understand
Child I love you with an open hand
If you should ever need me, you know where I am.
[Chorus:]
I've got room, plenty of room
Never lonely again
Just open my door, come on in
'cause I got room, plenty of room
You'll never be lonely again.
Open my door, come on in
'cause I got room
Don't you know I love you child
Wherever, wherever you roam on your own?
Lord knows it gets cold outside
And if you, you should want to come
home, come on home.
You know I don't lie.
Should the world outside make you want to cry
Don't be shy darling why don't you come on by,
'cause I've got room.
[Chorus]
Oh, right now would be a good time to find,
That you have walked into my room
Any time is a good time, baby
It ain't never too late, baby, never too soon
Love is all I wanna give,
I wish I knew what you were gonna do.
And ain't no one in the world boy, but me and you.
You know it's true
Sit down at my table
Til your spirit is fed
Lay your burdens by the fire
Rest your worries in my bed
I'll never leave you lonely, oh boy, now
Don't you hear what I say?
Lord, I got room
There's a picture in my memory
Of the days when we first met
When solo became duet
And the words you spoke compelled me
Yes your touch it tranquilized
These feelings I memorized
It's a perfect love affair
And so good to know
When you need me I'll be there
It's a perfect love affair
And so good to know that you love me
And you care, baby you care
Now I welcome love's affliction
Though its symptoms I deny
Contention, we harmonize
Yes a heart of ice was melting
And the mountains they did move
Baby you've nothing left to prove
'Cause it's a perfect love affair
And so good to know that you love me
And you care
It's a perfect love affair
And so good to know that you love me
And you care
When you look in my eyes
My love won't be denied
Oh my darling, yes, love me freely
Help me stand here now
Baby, now
We got the perfect love affair
And it's good to know
When you need me, I'll be there
Perfect love affair
And it's good to know
That you need me and you care
We got the perfect love affair
And it's good to know
When you need me, I'll be there
Perfect love affair
And it's good to know
(Anita Baker & Vernon Fails)
Yes, I've been around and I watch you, baby
I know you're the one
I see you and I cry inside, darlin'
The moment has come- but I
I try to hide what I'm feelin', baby
Don't want you to know
It's a feeling so deep in my heart, baby
I can't let it go
No one to blame
If I miss this, sho would be a shame
No one to blame, baby
Sho is a shame
There ain't no reason to doubt me, baby
You know I don't lie
I tell you from deep down inside, darlin'
I'm willin' to try, yes I am
This ain't no game that I'm playin', baby
Our love is for real
And I know that it's strong
I know what I feel, yes,
No one to blame, baby
If I miss this, sho would be a shame
No one to blame, darlin'
I miss this, sho would be a shame
No one to blame, baby
Sho is a shame
No one to blame, baby
Sho is a shame, my baby
Life offers no prize, no guarantees
My baby, for missed opportunities
And I won't let you walk by
I've got to try, tellin' you I know it's right
It's the truth, don't you lie, baby-yes
You know that I tried to resist you, baby
But I'm losin' my fight, ah yes
I mean this, I really do mean this, baby
Know that I'm tellin' you no lies
'Cause this ain't no game that I'm playin', darlin'
this thing is for real
And I want you to know that it's strong
I know what I feel baby, yes
No one to blame, baby
I look back on all those good times
We once shared and I must have been blind
Just to think, I find someone new
One who loved me better than you
Well, it may come as a surprise
Loneliness has opened my eyes
I've tried every road I could find
Still I can't get you out of my mind
'Cause there's no one in the world to hold me
No one in the world is gonna move me
No one in the world can love me, like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone and
Loving you, yes I wanna run
I wanna run back to your arms again
There no one in the world
(No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Are you happy now with your life?
Well, believe I'm breaking inside
For something sure that I could not see
I had it all when you were with me, baby
No one in the world is gonna hold me
No one in the world can move me
No one in the world can love me, like you do, baby
Every time I'm with someone
Loving you and I wanna run
I wanna run back to your arms again
There no one in the world
(No one in the world)
Loves me like you do
Please take me back
(Please take me back)
Oh baby, can't go on
(I can't go on)
I'm not happy in my life without you
I'll do whatever it takes
I've got to get you back with me, yeah
(Back with me, back with me, yeah)
I realize, I need you here in my life
No one in the world
No one in the world
No one loves me like you
No one ready to love, like you do, baby
Every time, you got the love and I need it
Everybody found here the love, need
Oh, no one in the world
(No one in the world)
In this world
In this world
Turning back the hands of time
Holding on to misty memories
Chasing shadows through the night
Trying to find my happy ending
Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We could still find a way if we try
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
I can remember the sun inside
Love held us tight
I need to feel your magic in my heart
Instead of it tearing apart
Diamonds shining in the night
Lying soft and warm together
Only images survive
Can't my dreams go on forever
Oh there's still time to lock away your sadness
Let the secrets of love start to smile
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days
All the love we made
Can't you see in me your magic here tonight
Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind
It's a silent song that's never meant to be
Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends
We could find forever if we let love rise again
Tell me why can't we reach for another chance at heaven
We can still find the way if you try
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days
All the love we made
I need to feel your magic here tonight
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
I can remember the sun inside
Love held us tight
I need to feel your magic in my heart
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
[Chorus]
Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love
Well, I want to make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
[Chorus]
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no vitories
In all our histories, without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust,
My enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
You don't know what i been thru
Its been rough I'm telling you
All night long toss and turn
Nobodies bridges left to burn
I tell you a story about a lonely girl
Had no one to love her
In the whole wide world
You know she was lonely, lonely
Didn't want to feel this good
Didn't know I ever could
You spoke, your voice so sweet
Child your sound surrounded me
I'll tell you my story about a lonely girl
Had no one to love me
In the whole wide world
You know I was lonely, lonely....yeah
Unlock my chains, child and set me free
I'm a different woman, look at what you done to me
Don't know what you did babe, but it feels so right
Don't know how you did it, but do it again tonight
I'm walking on over, I'm coming on in
I'm depending on you, so won't you be my friend
Be my...
Didn't want to feel this good
Didn't realize that I ever could
You came here, you came to stay
I'm so glad cause babe you made me day
Anita Baker
Lead Me Into Love
We may never understand
If love just happens or it's planned
We must believe our spirits know somehow
Baby, we can't stop the falling we feel now (oooh)
New emotions overflow
And now this heartbeat wants control (oooh baby)
If the love was meant to be so strong
Something close to magic's coming on
Take my heart and lead me into love
Light the way for me
Without your touch, I cannot see
Lead me into love
I'm deep in the miracle of you (oooh)
When we feel excitement rise
We'll share the secrets found in lovers eyes
You'll speak the words of love
I'll speak them too
Baby ain't no stopping me when I'm with you
Honey take this heart
And lead me into love
Light the way for me
Without your touch, I cannot see
Lead me into to love

Oh no baby here I go
Fallin' in on the deep end one more time baby
I'm helpless to stop this, there's no defense
(Got this fever)
Yea I'm sick baby

Fire burns
In my heart, in my life, on my mind, in my head

FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE KNOW WHAT HEARTACHE IS AND WE FELL THE PAIN THE WORLD CAN SOMETIMES BRING.
FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE CRY IN THE NIGHT. WITHOUT A SINGLE SONG TO SING.
BUT ONE DAY ALL WILL CHANGE. THEY'LL BE NO MORE STORMY RAIN. THEN AT LAST
WE WILL REST FOREVER MORE
SO IF YOU'RE IN THE GARDEN. AND LIFE SEEMS SO UNKIND. AND IF YOUR TEARS KEEP FALLING----
FROM YOUR TIRED EYES. WHEN BURDENS SEEM SO HEAVY--OH YEAH AND IT'S HARD TO
SMILE----- YOU BETTER REMEMBER . IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE.
For A LITTLE WHILE YOU LOOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE. AND YOU MISS THE TIMES
TOGETHER YOU ONCE SHARED. FOR A LITTLE WHILE YOU SEEM ALL ALONE AND SCARED.
WITH NO ONE THERE TO HOLD. OH THE NIGHTS GET LONG AND COLD. BUT IT WON'T LAST.
IT WILL PASS IN TIME. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE THE VALLEY. AND LIFE SEEMS SO UNKIND
AND IF YOUR TEARS KEEP FALLING-----. FROM YOUR TIRED EYES. YOUR BURDEN SEEMS SO HEAVE
AND IT'S HARD TO SMILE. OH YOU BETTER REMEMBER IT'S ONLY FOR A WHILE.
I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree for me.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
Baby in my dreams
Baby dreams, oh dreams
Oh sweet dreams
I'll be home for Christmas, so darling.
You can count on me.
Please have?
Oh Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
Ooh I'll be home for Christmas
Haa haa
Ohh yea yea
Haa haa
Haa haa
Baby baby baby
Changed all my plans, look what you've done
My house is small and there's only room for one
I know this game, darling, I don't want to play
Why can't I just walk away?
Who's got the time, I need my space
Maybe someday in another time and place
Just turn around, I don't need this, not right now
But I'm falling anyhow
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
Nobody's got to tell me so
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
Nobody's got to tell me so
See your hearts never lie, the truth is in a site
I look in his eyes and I'm on fire
Logic prevail
I don't believe in fairy tales
Lately I find, I'm waiting by the phone
And I don't want to be alone
Feelings won't fade
But I'm falling deeper everyday
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
Nobody's got to tell me so
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
Nobody's got to tell me so
Ain't nobody got to tell me so
I know what I know
Ain't nobody got to let me so
I give up, I give in
Touch your body, taste your skin
The answer is the same again and again
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
How does it feel? And it feels so fine
How do you know? Feel something deep down inside
What do you see? I see the light in his eyes
And I know what I know
I know it's clear
(Gary Taylor)
Ah, many days it goes unspoken
But this desire never seems to go away
It's gonna take much more than hope to bring you close
I think I'll pray
I hear you say you've got a lot to give up
And there is so much more this heart of mine can take
If what you have to bring to me is positive you send it right away
Right away
chorus I:
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
Morning, noon and night, forever all my life
Good love. good love
Good love, good love
There is a void that stands between us
And it seems it's getting harder to relate
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine
Life this way
repeat chorus 1
chorus 2
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love. good love
I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
Hear me when I say, bring it to me baby
Babe. you're the man I hear you say you are
I don't quite understand why loving me is so hard
Never have I felt the need to be this close
Words cannot say, heaven only knows
Giving You The Best That I Got
Anita Baker
Writers: Anita Baker, Skip Scarborough & Randy Holland
Giving You The Best That I Got
Ain't there something I can give you
In exchange for everything you give to me
Read my mind and make me feel just fine
When I think my peace of mind is out
of reach
The scales are sometimes unbalanced
And you bear the weight of all that has to be
I hope you see that you can lean on me
And together we can calm a stormy sea
We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I tell you now that I made a vow
I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
Yes I tell you now, that I made a vow
I'm giving you the best that I got, honey
Everybody's got opinions
'Bout the way they think our story's gonna end
Some folks feel it's just a superficial thrill
Everybody's gonna have to think again
We love so strong and so unselfishly
They don't bother me so I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, baby
They don't bother me, said I'm gonna keep on
Giving you the best that I got, listen baby
Somebody understands me
Somebody gave his heart to me
I stumbled my whole life long
Always on my own, now I'm home
My weary mind is rested
And I feel as if my home is in your arms
Fears are all gone, I like the sound of your song
And I think I want to sing it forever
We love so strong and so unselfishly
And I made a vow so I tell you now
I'm giving you the best that I got, baby
I bet everything on my wedding ring
I'm giving you the best that I got,
Frosty the Snowman
He's a jolly happy soul
Got a corncob pipe, cute button nose
Got two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But all the girls know
How he came to life one day
Must have been some magic
In that old silk hat we found
When we placed it on his head
Sure he began to dance around
And Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And all the girls say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
He said girl, let's run
Come on, let's have some fun
Now before I melt away
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
He only paused one moment
When all the girls just cheer "Ooh"
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved bye bye
Ladies don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
Ooh, mercy
What should I say, miss
Beaucoup
Frosty, oh, so cold
OH, he led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
He only paused one moment
When all the girls just cheer "Ooh"
Frosty, stop
Frosty my Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved bye bye
Said Anita don't you cry
I'll be back, oh baby baby I'll be back some day
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
So alone I feel at times wondering if you're truly mine
Can't you see the tears falling from my eyes
Can't you feel this way I feel deep inside
My heart seems to bleed when I feel the need
To hold you in my arms and you pull away
Now I may be wrong but my feelings just don't lie
About this emptiness down deep inside, that's why
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
When you're around you make me feel so good
All of my worries are far away
Then other times you feel so cold
What makes you treat me this way?
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
Everybody say that I got to be a fool
I got to be crazy for lovin' you
Oh I'm starting to wonder if there is truth in what they say
My mind says to leave you but my heart says I better stay
I want to feel like I'm something more than a passing thought from you
I need to know that the things you say are true
I want that sweet, sweet love to fill me up inside
And let our two hearts come together for all times
I do not say things that I don't mean
If I do not love you I'd let you know
If I am not right for you won't you tell me so
Before you break my heart in two
You've got to feel the need in me
You've got to feel the need in me, baby
You've got to feel the need in me
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
That children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air, there's
Carols everywhere
Olden times
And ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air, there's
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air, there's
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Darling, darling, darling, darling
Christmas time is here
We'll be growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh that we could always see
Santa, make him love me
Santa, just help me
Tell me I'll be loved
I need a lover to call my mine
I adore him
Can't ignore him
Always on my mind
Don't you know the man's so fine
I've been good
I've behaved like I should
I've done all I could
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Santa, my one wish
Top of my list
Is our first Christmas kiss
Is something that I can't resist
Santa, maybe
I'll be his baby
I've got to make him mine
There's nothing like a love divine
And I've been good
I've behaved like I should
Santa, if you would
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
I love him, yes I do
Yeah I'm begging, begging you
Send him all to me
Please
Santa, can I, Santa, can I have a man?
When we met, I always knew
I would feed the magic for you
On my mind constantly
on my arms is where you should be
I love you here by me, baby
you let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time
I'm caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
when I feel the magic of you
We stand side by side
till the storms of life pass us by
Light my life, warm my heart
say tonight will be just the start
I love you here by me, baby
you let my love fly free
I want you im my life for all time
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
when I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
caught up in the rapture of you
I love you here by me, baby
you let my love fly free
I want you in my life for all time
Caught up in the rapture of love
Nothing else can compare
when I feel the magic of you
The feeling's always new
caught up in the rapture of you
Caught up in the rapture of love
This heart of mine seldom lies you see
It's often said you don't care for me no more.
You took so long, how could you lead me on
Left me wondering where and how we went wrong.
Chorus
Come on baby
make it all right
my baby
say it's alright
would you baby
it will be alright
if I could only see you
Won't you please do this for me
Heart of mine please just let him go
Always knew you'd leave and many times I told you so
Yesterday it was when you walked out my door
hopes and dreams of mine lay scattered on my floor
Chorus
holding on to your memory is what Iv'e done
Baby see what Iv'e done, Baby see what Iv'e done
Oh yeah holding on to my pillow is all Iv'e got
yeah
and the power of your thunder
belongs to someone new
is it any wonder i cry the whole night through
How we ever made it is a mystery to me
fire and water were never meant to be
