I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realize he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
But suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love 'til eternity
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes
He's so very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my man
They say, no, no, no, no, no, it won't last forever
But here I am again, my girl
Wondering what I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't really love me
I just took a trip
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes
I can hear him knocking
(Ooh, he's here again)
I can hear him knocking
(Man with a child in his eyes)
Oh, he's knocking at my front door
And he's breaking my heart
(Ooh, he's here again)
(Man with a child in his eyes)
But I love him, yes, I do
(Ooh, he's here again)
Just a man, just a man
(Man with a child in his eyes)
He's trying to do the best he can
(Ooh, he's here again)
I can hear him knocking
(Man with a child in his eyes)
And he's trying, trying to be a man, y'all
(Ooh, he's here again)
He's a child, child, child, child
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realize he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
But suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love 'til eternity
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with a child in his eyes

I know sometimes your whole world seems blue

You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Once you think you've got everything, the next day its all gone
But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)

Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning dawn, softly singing in your ear
A song that I wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there
And I am here, somehow words I try to say, they just don't seem to sound right
Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too, I gotta go I'll call you when
My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time
In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime
Get my baby on that line, I'm sending love and kisses on the telphone wire
I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific
Gonna send them to that baby of mine, yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine
(How you doing....) Sure do miss ya, I'd like to kiss ya
(What...) What's that you said my dear, this connection's not so clear
But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way
Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time
Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time
Conversation's gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go
I'll call you when my show is through, I'm sending love and kisses
On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time
Oh, love and kisses across the pacific, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine
Oh, love and kisses, ooh, ooh, love and kisses
Written by N. Cole and L. Williams
Picture yourself on the sea of a setting sun
The salty air and the taste of your lover's hair
Inside you want to fly
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Come to the magical mist where the oceans kissed
A thousand kisses or more on the sandy shore
And never says goodbye
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Ooh, La Costa, ooh
Ooh, La Costa, ooh
Come feel the warm of the breeze as the swaying trees
Caress the velvety skies like a whisper telling you to come and fly
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Musical Interlude
Run with the wind at your side let it set you free
I'll watch the sun in your eyes as the seagulls fly
Along this lover's isle
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
You are my love and my life, you're my everything
You calm the sea of my soul oh so tenderly
It makes me very high
Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi
Ooh La Costa, wee, ooh, wee
Ooh La Costa, ooh
Picture yourself on the sea...
Come feel the warm of the breeze..
La Costa......
Stand up, stand on your own
That's what they tell me
You can make it alone
Where does it say I have to move
Far away from you
To prove I'm strong?
Oh, when all it really proves
Is I'm lonely without you
And loneliness has to be wrong
I live for your love
(Everyday)
Every minute
I live for your love
(In my life)
Want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love
I wake up with no one to kiss
Sometimes I wonder
(Wonder, wonder)
If I just exist
I know there are people I can see
Places I could be
And friends who call
Oh, but what good does it do
There's no substitute for you
I want you or nothing at all
I live for your love
(Everyday)
Every minute
I live for your love
(In my life)
Want you in it
I live for your love
I admit it
I live for your love and your kisses
And know how I'm missing
Your sweet tender touch
(Tender touch)
I need you so much
That I just can't go on anymore
What I wouldn't give for
'Cause darling I live for your love
(Everyday)
Every minute
I live for your love
(Got one life)
Want you in it
I live for your love
I hate to admit it
But oh, I live for, I'd die for
What I wouldn't give for your love
(I live for your love)
(Everyday)
I live for your love
(Got one life)
Everyday, every minute
(I live for your love)
I have only got one life
I want you in it
Oh, my baby, yes, yes
I never loved him, he never reached me
He was just someone, someone I knew
I think about him on alternate Thursdays
When I haven't got anything better to do
He's got a problem if he thinks I need him
I couldn't care less now that we're through
I only sit home and I wait for his phone call
When I haven't got anything better to do
Wasn't I awfully smart not to fall and break my heart
He never meant a thing to me, he's gone
I'm glad, I'm free
And when he kissed me, no no he never moved me
Nothing fantastic, thrilling or new
So if I'm crying, I'm only crying
Cause I haven't got anything better
No I haven't got anything better
I haven't got anything better to do...without you
I never loved him, no he never moved me
Here I am, there you are
If you ask me to walk a thousand miles
Just to be where you are
I can't say no if you ask me
If I had a dime, it's yours as well as mine
I'd keep the penny, you know I would
And gladly give you the nine
I can't say no if you ask me
If you told me tonight to get up
Pack my bags, let's go away
I wouldn't even care what my mommy
What my daddy might have to say
'Cause I can't say no if you ask me
No, you're too beautiful to be, to be
No, you mean everything to me
No, and that's why I, that's why I, that's why I
I can't say no if you ask me
Sometimes I get so angry with him
I walk around and I pout all day
And then he kisses me and asks me, do I love him
In a sweet, soft, sexy kind of way
I can't say no if he asks me
Ooh, no, I can't say no if he asks me
I can't say no if you ask me
I can't say no if you ask me
I can't say no if you ask me
I can't break away from you
Ooh, there's something about you that I can't explain
I get excited when I hear your name
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always here
Whenever I turn you're always near
Oh, just can't, just can't, just can't
I've only known you for a little while
Yet, I can truly say I dig your style
Even the way you call my name
It sounds like a song the angels sang
Just being near you gives me satisfaction
I tell you it's some new kind of action
Your love I could never, ever turn away
Why don't you hear me when I try to say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
You stay around me everywhere
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah
(we have a different style of love)
Different (so different, and so new)
(we have a crazy kind of love) so crazy
(crazy, yes it's true)
(and I'm gonna never turn away)
Oh, do you hear what I say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away, no, from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
Whenever I turn you're always here
Oh, you can't, never get away from you
(I can't break away)
When I rise in the morning
(I can't break away)
You, you, you, oh, you, you got the power
(I can't break away)
Each and every hour, hey, babe
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, oh, yeah
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, well
(I can't break away)
You saved my soul, yes, you did
(I can't break away)
(Written by Natalie Cole, Marvin Yancy and Kevin Yancy)
You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss
It would probably be music and love
They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
That's so true
Even though we still take it for granted
And I used to be like that but not anymore
'Cause I found out what love really means
Love means happiness and dedication
Love will sometimes bring complications
But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust
Most of all you can never give up just
(Hold on, hold on)
Hold on to your good thing, yeah
(Hold on, hold on) forget about the small things
(Hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
And remember that love is a feeling
But it's also an action, yes
You've got to give sometime
If you want to get back some, well
And when all the king's horses
And even all the king's men
Can't put it together again
That is exactly when you've got to
(Hold on, hold on) hold on to what you've got
(Hold on, hold on)
It's the little things that mean alot
(Hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
In spite of everything, no matter what
You've got to H-O-L-D on (you gotta hold on)
Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh
You're so hard headed
'Cause you feel that you're right
Well, tell me how you gonna feel
In the middle of the night
All alone, all alone
I know, I know
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
If you feel so inclined
To blame that shame on someone else
Ooh, stop and think about it
Point the finger at yourself
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hold on to your good thing (hold on)
Forget about the small (hold on) things
(Hold on) And hold on
Hold on, oh hold on (hold on)
Real tight in spite of everything
Hold on (hold on)
When you feel like walking out that door

Just a little bit of heaven
(heaven is with you and I'm glad I'm with you tonight)
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here tonight resting close to you
'cause in your arms I feel so strong
I do believe we will love on forever, forever----
Heaven is with you and I'm glad I'm with you tonight
Aww, baby, let me say that heaven must be
It must be with you tonight, yeah
I wanna be just what you see
Now I want to give all of me eternally
Yeah, yeah
And you can bet and count on me
'cause I'm all yours faithfully, forever, forever--
Oh, (heaven) ha, oh, woh, (is with you) oh, woh,
(and I'm glad) oh, woh, (I'm with you tonight) ho, ho, yeah
I'm sure that you must be an angel
'cause (heaven) yeah, (is with you) yeah
(and I'm glad I'm with you tonight) oh, woh---well
Ooh, wee, baby, baby, baby
For it was your love that really inspired me
I will go wherever your love guides me
And I do believe that wherever we go
Baby, our love can't help but grow
Oh (heaven is with you) woh----
(and I'm glad I'm with you tonight) yeah, yeah
All I can say is
(heaven is with you and I'm glad I'm with you tonight)
Hoo, your love, your love
Is like heaven, is like heaven---
(heaven is with you and I'm glad I'm with you tonight)
Oh, oh, oh oh
You're like heaven
Just a little bit of heaven
(heaven is with you)
Just a little bit of heaven

Let me look at you, just look at you
You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights I spent holding you so tight
Then I'd wake up and we're still apart
Now you're really near and I'm really here
And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can
This is just like I remember, no I think its even better
Maybe even more than I can stand
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you, oh yeah
Well its not the first time we've been apart
But as far as I'm concerned its the last
I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past
'Cause when I go through the day and I haven't seen your face
Seems like nothing that I do feels right
You're the one I wanna see when I wake up every day
You're the one I wanna kiss goodnight
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again (ooh)
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
So good, so good, so good, so good, so good with you, baby
So good with you
Why don't you start me up with just one kiss
That's just one of the things I've missed
You better kiss me once again 'til it finally settles in
Well, I think I could get used to this
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back, real good
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again, I just got to say it
Good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back
Aw honey, honey its good to be back with you
And its so good to be back, aw sing it girls
Yeah, good to be back, I like the way you sang
Baby, its good to be back in you're arms again
Sang, sang, sang, sang
Woah, woah, ha, yeah, hmm, oh
Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site
Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Hoo, wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay, yeah
It seems I met ya when my love had gone away
I start each day out just by saying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new
Stop haunting me now, can't shake you, no, how
Why don't you just leave me alone?
I've got those Monday blues
Those straight through Sunday blues
Oh, good morning heartache, here we go, here we go, here we go again
Well, good morning heartache, you're the one who knew me
When I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town
Written by G. Glenn
Since the time we met never shall forget
The magic feeling when I look in your eyes
Every now and then I see you again
But the words never come out right
I've always been painfully shy
I hide what I feel inside
Tonight I (never let you get away)
Open my heart (Invite you in to stay)
I need you (more than words can say)
And I hope you feel the same
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
Hope that there's a chance, Baby
That we can get together
Cause I (Gonna make you mine) gonna make you see
(Gonna make you mine) you were meant for me
(Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly
Many times before I would just ignore
Love when it came around and knocked on my door
Keeping to myself, trusting no one else
I've put my heart out of reach on a shelf
With you I can't pass up this chance
For a once in a lifetime romance
Cause after all (someone said it very plain)
When it comes to love (no pain no gain)
I think I'll (take a chance on you)
And you know I play to win I'm
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
You've captured my heart
And I won't take no for an answer
(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)
Hope that there's a chance, Honey
That we can get together
Cause I (gonna make you mine)
Gonna make you see (Gonna make you mine)
You were meant for me (Gonna make you mine)
I wanna love you endlessly, yeah
Oh, I'm looking for one lifetime romance

(No pain no gain) Take a chance on you
(Take a chance on you)
Ooh, cause you know I play to win, Baby

But I'm saying that I wouldn't hurt you for the world, oh no
I'm not so blind, Baby
I need your lovin' and you know it (yes, I do, well) 'cause I'll show it, well
I don't wanna be hurt you

You'll soon be begging for more

'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious

The look in your eyes when you smile
And my senses tell me there's something missing
So please let me stay for a little while
I want the whole world to know that we are one
We got it together, Baby, we're one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing

Yeah, you better gimme some time

The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said;
"Now listen, Jack
"Straighten up and fly right
"Straighten up and fly right

"Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.
"Ain't no use in jivin'

"Straighten up and fly right
"Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top."
The buzzard told the monkey "You're chokin' me
"Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye And said
"Your story's touchin', but it sounds like a lie

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
Writers: Lerner/Loewe
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Ooh-ooh
Thought I'd seen everything
There was to see in this world
Now I'm not so sure
I've really seen anything at all
I thought life, could show me no surprises
And then you came, and showed me I was wrong
1-I have seen the bluest skies
Rainbows that would make you cry
I have seen miracles that moved my soul
Days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest stars
Shine like diamonds in the dark
Seen all the wonders of the world
But I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours, ooh-ooh, yeah
Oh I thought I'd been everywhere
I'd climbed a mountain so high
Sailed the sea, crossed the sky
And still I was nowhere at all
Until that day, oh, you came to my senses
And your smile it made sense out of it all
(repeat 1)
A smile so beautiful, so beautiful
Come one time in a lifetime
A smile this beautiful
I never dreamed I'd ever see, ah, ah, ah
(rpt 1...)
A smile before as beautiful
As beautiful as yours
(cy coleman, joseph allen mccarthy)
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.
So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.
'cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if I find you and i
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
~interlude~
But if I find you and i
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard...

Today we broke up, tomorrow we'll make up
And again he'll hang up on me
But you see I know he'll never hurt me
I know he'll never desert me
And so I just say that's my man anyway
Tonight we'll love plenty, tomorrow maybe not any
But I'm sure he'll come through just in time
And to me he's more than just a man
He's my life so I understand why things has got to be his way
And I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Yes, I do, so much, so much 'til it hurts me
He makes me cry when I wanna laugh sometimes
His moods, they keep changing all the time
But I know just where his head is when it's not laying on top of mine
His world is not so different and you may not believe
But I'm sure you'd understand him if you were me
And that's why this world can't look and frown
But I'll never let him down
That is my man and he means the world to me
And I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Yes, I love him so much, so much 'til it hurts me
Oh (so much, so much 'til it hurts me)
I love him so (so much, so much 'til it hurts me) much

Hmm..., well, well, well, well, well
The mailman smiled as he handed me the news, tell you chil'
I nearly jumped out of my shoes, the postcard read returning home tonight
My body jumped with pure delight, I know you're gonna need
Some tender lovin' care, whatever you need you know I'll be right there
(honey I won't deny you) that's one thing honey, that I'll never, never do
(honey, I won't deny you) you took care of me, I'll take of you
(doot, doot, doo, doo, doo) now when I'm down (repeat doo, doo)
You make me feel better, and your love for me really keeps me together
Come rain or shine, night or day, whenever you call me it'll be okay
If you wanna stop by 'cause you're in the neighborhood
Or if you want me to make you feel real good (repeat honey I won't deny you)
Oh, no (I won't deny you) that's one thing I'll never do to you
You took care of me, I'll take care of you (doot, doot, doo, doo, doo)
You know my body hungers for you and I know that's right
And when I can't get it, I get so uptight, here by my side
Is where you aught to be if you bring your lovin' home to me
(repeat honey I won't deny you) i, that's one thing I'll never do to you
I won't, cause you took care of me and I'll take care of you, oh, yeah, yeah

Oh fellows your cool but girls
If you've got a good man
You'd better keep him
Oh I know you're saying right now
What does she know?
Who is she to tell me about my situation
Well, I don't know your situation
But whatever it is, you should try to stay together
You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember
Well, today it's not nothing, just don't let him leave you, honey
'Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those
Real big things you loved about him
It was the real small things, go on and laugh but it's true
You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house
But never paid any attention to
Like helping with the groceries
And helping in the yard, painting and repairing and
Huh, paying the bills
But you know now
All I have is memories and regrets
I could have given our love a chance to grow but no
I had to challenge it and be heard
Let me tell you something
That female liberation stuff
I don't know, sometimes
I don't think it's worth it
And I'm really feeling
Feeling kind of bad y'all
I'm catching hell living here alone
I never realized, oh Lord, that you mean so much to me
I'm catching Hell living here alone, I want you to come back, baby
Come back 'cause here's where you belong, oh yeah
If I could replay
If I could replay that whole scene again, oh well
You know that I would never, never say it again
That our love, our love is at it's end
And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would
And let confusion pass on by
I took a fool's way out, oh yeah
Without one good reason why
I'm catching hell, catching hell
Lord I'm living, living, living here alone
Alone, lone, I didn't believe it could be
You know all the pressure on me, all the time
Oh, I'm catching hell, well, well
Living here alone, lone, lone, lone
Lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth, to tell you the truth
I'm going out of my mind, yeah
(Oh, do you hear me tonight)
I don't have too much more to say except
(This is my story)
Somebody told me that if you've got something
(Hey, this is my song)
That's good to you and you don't use it, you might lose it
(Sad, sad, sad, song)
(Song, so sad)
So girls hold on to your good thing
(Oh)
(You gotta hold on a little bit now)
And don't let go, oh do you hear me tonight
It's so sad living alone, living alone
Hold on to your good thing, hold on
(Well, well)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy do you know what it's like
Catching hell
(Somebody turn up the microphone, oh)
Said I, many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion.
With knowing smile, and blazing sigh,
A cynical so-and-so was i.
I felt so sure, so positive,
So utterly, unchangingly certain.
But I never was aware of love and you,
And suddenly I realized
There was love and you,
And I, and i.
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
Written by Chuck Jackson & Marvin Yancy
I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
I've got love on my mind
And there's nothing particularly wrong
It's a feeling I feel inside
When I woke up early this morning

And tenderly, oh, yeah, from sunrise to sunset
All through the day, I've been waiting for your return

No big star dreams, no things that seem
To make up your life
So, I'm going back to New York City
Where people live

Inseparable, that?s how we?ll always be
Inseparable, just you and me
It?s so wonderful
To know you?ll always be around me
Incredible, what you are to me
Incredible, you bring out the woman in me
With your style of love
Inseparable, yes, we are
We?re like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There?s no way we can break up
No words that can make us blow our thing
We?re just inseparable, that?s how it is
Inseparable for the rest of our years
It?s so wonderful
I jump up at down, shake out the sun
Laugh like a loon, everything is fun
It's crazy, but I'm in love
I act like a fool; what do I care?
I'll be a fool as long as you're there
It's crazy, but I'm in love
I spread my wings and then I fly
All around the city
The world's my sweet potato pie,
And I'm sittin' mighty pretty
I sleep by the stars, chase that old moon,
Fall into of bed hummin' a tune
Written by C. Jackson & Marvin Yancy
Joey---, Joey----
Joey, where are you going
Where will you sleep tonight
Will you be alright
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Joey, I really love you
Won't you make here your home so you'll never live alone anymore, oh
We both took a ride on that merry-go-round
We've seen a lot of faces of the same ole' clowns
But let's not be a part of that continuous game
Let's start a new life that will never change
Joey, where are you going
Won't you take me along, your place is my home
Joey---, hoo, hoo
There's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
True fortunes are deeper than the world is old so
We've got to dig up and plant love again
Just don't let it vanish, no
And you settle
My Joey, where are you going, where are you going
Dont, don't, dont go, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey
Don't you hear me calling, don't you hear me calling to you
Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey
Hoo, don't you hear me calling to you, Joey, Joey, Joey
Don't leave me alone, I wanna be with you
I wanna go with you, I wanna be with you, Joey, Joey, Joey
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true, I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow never to part
When I'm so afraid
To close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
'Coz I can't believe that you're really mine
I'm so afraid
This is just an illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Please, pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine
You're really mine
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming
With my eyes wide open

Who do you love when your heart has had enough
And it's just another lie, and all you can do is cry
Where can you go when you're left with just too much
And its' more than you can take, gotta find another way
¡®cause we've all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more
But no matter how I'm beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down
Fed up, messed up, I still get up I'm gonna keep on
(livin' for love) no one can stop me from (livin' for love) hey, hey, hey
(livin' for love) who do you trust when you've given all you've got
And there's nothing left inside but another damn goodbye
Hey, how do you know if it's just another night
And you're heart won't be betrayed then you face another day
¡®cause we've all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more
But no matter how I'm beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down
Fed up, messed up, I still get up (livin' for love) cause I'm livin' for love

And fed up, and messed up but it's all right and you can kiss my

I found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of him in Avalon from dusk till dawn
And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon
Yes, I found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
Oh, I dream of him in Avalon from dusk until dawn
I go through the strangest kind of changes
Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues
And would you believe it, I'm so urban
My suburban friends don't know my bag of blues
I'm up in the mornin' on the corner so sedated
That you hardly know it's me
And late in the evening when I'm mellow
There's my fellow with the world for me to see
Oh, it's a world full of cocktails at nine
Dinners and wine and very late shows
And where the crowd goes
I'm a girl with a world of her own
A queen on her throne
Till every thing's gone and then
I wake up to find that I'm a stranger
In a world where I have never been before
I look for the man who held my hand
But now I know that he'll be coming back no more
I'm telling you 'bout this bag of blues
It's payin' dues, but I got news
Gimme that, I really want that
Speakin' 'bout bag of blues
Mister, I'm payin' dues
Listen I'm changin' shoes
I'm gonna make me some changes
I walk in a daze and then I'm back to my apartment
Where I'll grab another wink
And doze on the sofa till eleven
Then get up and pour myself another drink
Then back at the party, I'll be hearty
While waitin' for some better news
But now in the meantime
I'll just sit right here and cool it
We're gonna cool it now
And listen to the rhythm
Well, I've been a lot of places
And I've seen a lot of things
I met all kinds of people
Including queens and kings
Had my share of heartbreak
Stabbed me in my back
I cried to my friends about it
And they talked a lot of slack
But oh, what a revelation
When much to my surprise
Then came you, wonderful you
Right before my eyes
5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know I been
All around the world to find
It was right at my door
5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
I found love, love
Just minutes away
Everybody's got a story
And it ain't nothing new
I'm talking to the one
Who's been looking for love
And it just might be you
While you're running around
Hanging all around town
With a fool that ain't no good
But that very special someone
Could be right in your neighborhood
5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know I went
All around the world
Just to find it right at my door
5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You see, I found love, love, love
Just minutes away
Times when love ain't easy
It's a game that we all play
And the prize that we pay
Is sometimes much too high
Take it from me and don't look too far
Love might be in your own backyard
There's a better chance to find romance
Just by starting today
5 minutes away
You know I went
All around the world
To find it right at my door
5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know, love, love, love
Could be minutes away
I said, love, love, love
Is just minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way he's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas, may your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine in three quarter time
Wishing you and yours the same thing too
Happy holidays there is snow in the air
Silver bells and sleighs everywhere
People that you meet on any street will smile
It's the season to care
There are songs to sing every family?s a choir
Toys to wrap and bring to the tree
Your own wishing star is not so far from view
Wish a wish or two and I promise you
Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices, sweet and clear
Sing the sound of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas bells are ringing
Harmony [Incomprehensible] the song we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling, near and far
Christmas bells are ringing
Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing
Sing we now this happy morn
For the King of Heaven is born
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Ding dong, ding dong
I was dressed to kill, I was ready
Oh, girl, I was stepping out, yeah
I was on my way to meet my steady
When this fine young thing turned me right around
At first I was frightened
Because he took me, he took me by surprise, whoo
But my heart knew that it was a hold-up
I could see the love light shining in his eyes
Right then I was held up
Girl, I was held up
I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
Yes, I was held up
My heart was held up
I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
The way he stole my affection
Oh, girl, you know that it ought to be a crime
Mm-hmm, and the way that he changed my direction
I had no projection
And I swear to you that I ain't lyin'
Oh-hoo, love was right here among me
I never knew that heaven could be so close
I was on my way to meet my steady
When right next door is what I needed most
Oh, I was held up
Right then I was held up
Oh, I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was held up
Ooh, I was held up
My heart was held up by Billy the Kid next door
(Guitar Solo)
Ooh, Billy...
At first I was frightened
Because he took me, he took me surprise
But my heart knew that it was a hold-up, yeah
I saw the love light shining in his eyes
Right then, right then I was held up
My heart was held up
But you know I was held up
By Billy the Kid next door
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I was held up
Yes, I was held up
Ay-I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
He drew his pistol on me
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Ow, he had a love gun
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
I was held up by Billy the Kid next door
And I know he's wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Oh, the boy is wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Oh, he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door
On the go
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
The go for Billy
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
'Cause he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door
I said he's wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
That boy is wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Ooh, he's wanted, Billy the Kid next door
Oh, oh, oh, Billy
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Oh, Billy
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
Oh whoa, Billy, Billy the Kid next door
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, Billy
Ho-whoa-whoa, Billy
Hey, Billy, Billy the Kid next door
That boy is wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
I know he's wanted
(Bang, bang, shoot 'em up)
I really can't stay, baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away, oh darlin' it's cold outside
This evening has been, just hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice, I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry, beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor, listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry, oh beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some music on while I pour
The neighbors will think, baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink, there's no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how, your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell, I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, sir, mind if I move in a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
Oh, what's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay, baby don't hold out, ah, but it's cold outside
What are you doing with your coat
You don't need your coat
Why are you putting your coat on for
It's warm out here, you don't understand
I simply must go, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, the answer is no, oh darlin', it's cold outside
This welcome has been, lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm, look out that window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious, please but your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door, waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious, oh but your lips look delicious
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
They was never such a blizzard before
Ooh, I got to go home, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat, it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand, I trill when you touch my hand
But don't you see, how can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow, think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied, if you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay, get over that old out
Ah, but it's cold outside, ah, but it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside, baby, it's cold outside
It's cold outside, it's cold, baby, it's cold outside
You know that it's, you know that it's cold outside
Ah, it's cold outside
Darlin' as a friend, sure James
As a friend you, you must stay and, and warm up by this fire little bit
Let me get you, let me get you a hot toddy or something
Well, I really can't my mother will worry about me
People are so suspicious, it's just an innocent suggesting
You stay warm and keep yourself healthy that's all
It's nippy out there, it's cold
Oh, you know that drink does look kinda nice
It is a perfectly nice drink
Baby, it's cold out, baby, it's cold, it's warm
I see the party lights
Shining in the night
Make me feel all right

Mmm, yeah

Sunshine in a paper sack

I see the party lights
They're shining in the night
Ooh, make me feel all right

Oh, Baby, sssss, oh, it's so good, hm, umm,
Umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, hm, get it, Baby, get it
You've been with me through the hardest times
And you've kept my heart, body, soul and mind together
(You, you, you) It's been us two against the world
It ain't been easy but we sho' made it together
Thanks to (you, you, you) you, you, you
All I wanna say is Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Baby)
I love you (I love you, hoo, hoo) hoo, hoo
Oh, yeah, Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Oh my Baby)
I love you, hoo, hoo (I love you, hoo, hoo)
Hoo, yeah, yeah
When my world had fallen to the ground
Your love was there always around
And I love you, and I love you, hoo, I love you, hoo, hoo
Ho, oh---, the world keeps changing in which we live
Sometimes people just don't have the time to give
That very special part of them that keeps our love together
Oh Baby, take my love, I hope you keep this forever
You (I love you) God bless you
(I love you) I love you (I really do)
Oh, hoo (Hey, hey and I love, I love you) I love you (I love you)
Yes I do, oh (I really do) its you, Baby, you, Baby, oh
(Hey, hey, and I love, I love you, I love you)
Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it 'bout your love that draws me to you?
And though this is not the first time I've ever wanted to get away, no
Oh but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just can't stay away from you, baby
(From you)
Ooh, yeah
You see, I just can't stay away from you
Let me tell you I've been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh Lord, you know they warned me
They said you're no good for me but I just ignored it
Yes, I did 'cause I didn't have time
No time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do
So you see that's why I
(Just can't)
Just can't stay away
(Stay away)
Oh, oh
(From you)
From you, oh baby
Hold me, darling, hold
(Just can't)
Me, darling, I can't stay away from
(Stay away)
I don't wanna
(From you)
From you
I've tried and I've tried and I've tried
I've tried and I've tried and I've tried, baby
(When you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many
(When you come close to me, yeah)
Years ago that when love gets in your blood
You'll find it's hard to let go
And oh, I
(Just can't)
Baby, I
(Stay away)
Can't
(From you)
You see it in my eyes
'Cause I'm wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I
(Just can't)
I don't wanna
(Stay away)
Stay away
(From you)
From you
From you, you, you, you, you
It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and I
(Just can't)
That's exactly why I
(Stay away)
Can't stay away
(From you)
From you
Oh 'cause I'm wanting you
Needing you, loving you
Baby, I'm down on my knees,
(I just can't)
Hold me, darling, I'm
(Stay away)
Begging you please, hold me, darling
(From you)
Alright Paul, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, ooh, yeah
Feels like my battery's in need of a jump
Our love is running down, done fell into a slump
Give me a spark to get the fire burning
A get my engine movin', set these wheels a turnin'
Our love could use some rejuvenation
You bring the wine, I'll bring the sweet conversation
Romance is here to stay
I'll testify 'cause I need some today
So won'tcha jump start my heart
Charge me up when I'm runnin' down
Oh, jump start my heart
Lift my feet up off the ground
When it comes to lovin', baby can't get enough
Hot wire me satisfy me, don't give me up
Turn on the heat on a cold winter's morning
Don't let the seasons change and nature catch me callin'
Can't let this feelin' just slip away

We can't neglect what we cherish the most
So drop your foolish pride 'cause I need you more and more

Life can be wonderful when you can always have
That special someone around?
And I'm crazy about lovers, ooh beautiful lovers
Don't you know that they're everywhere?
Lovers, beautiful lovers
Everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere in the air
If you like romancing and you don't want no dancing
Then check this groove out baby, you'll see
It is the sweetest sugar that you'll ever taste
You gotta chase those blues, get over them
Don't stop now controlling them
Then you'll find you're shaking them
Get if all while you can have a ball
There's a feeling and it's catching
Look what's happening
Take a trip, make it hip, you might dig it
Lovers
Lovers
Lovers
Beautiful lovers
Everywhere
Lovers
Lovers

Oh, Baby, sssss, oh, it's so good, hm, umm,
Umm, umm, umm, umm, umm, hm, get it, Baby, get it
You've been with me through the hardest times
And you've kept my heart, body, soul and mind together
(You, you, you) It's been us two against the world
It ain't been easy but we sho' made it together
Thanks to (you, you, you) you, you, you
All I wanna say is Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Baby)
I love you (I love you, hoo, hoo) hoo, hoo
Oh, yeah, Baby (Baby) oh my Baby (Oh my Baby)
I love you, hoo, hoo (I love you, hoo, hoo)
Hoo, yeah, yeah
When my world had fallen to the ground
Your love was there always around
And I love you, and I love you, hoo, I love you, hoo, hoo
Ho, oh---, the world keeps changing in which we live
Sometimes people just don't have the time to give
That very special part of them that keeps our love together
Oh Baby, take my love, I hope you keep this forever
You (I love you) God bless you
(I love you) I love you (I really do)
Oh, hoo (Hey, hey and I love, I love you) I love you (I love you)
Yes I do, oh (I really do) its you, Baby, you, Baby, oh
(Hey, hey, and I love, I love you, I love you)
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember? I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and,
Now you say you love me
Well just to prove (that) you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Well you told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say that you love me
Well just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
I wanna see a river
'Cause I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
Though that I would lose my mind
I cried a river over you
Really is a shame, and you're to blame
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I'm crying, I'm cryin', I'm cryin'
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
(Written by Diane Steinberg and Marti Sharron)
You've got changing faces
That never leave a clue
To those hiding faces
Locked inside of you
We made love so cool
You go running off in the night
To keep things undercover
But I saw her in the light
And I discovered your secrets
(Chorus)
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Secrets in your heart
(Secrets in the dark)
We'll come a-creepin'
Secrets
There is no escape
Don't you know she'll come back to haunt you
And she will seal your fate
As my memory will taunt you
Your mysterious exhibitions
I couldn't figure out before
Until I felt her kiss upon you
She was the key that unlocked the door
Into the world of your secrets
(Repeat Chorus)
Secrets in your heart
She'll come a-knock-knocking for more
Secrets
Secrets in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh
(Voices in the dark call out your secrets)
I wouldn't find out your secrets
Secrets in your heart
You'll hear a knock-knock at your door
Skeletons that you hide inside
Will come a-creepin'
Secrets in your heart
Hey, did you happen to see my sweet baby?
He was walkin on down the road
Tell him for me that if you see him tonight
Everything is alright
'cause I know how he gets when he's low
Oh, he's a beautiful man
Kinda hard to understand but
He's the only good man that I know
Won't you tell him for me
I'm keepin a light shinin in the window
Just in case he decides to come home
Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home
(he's a beautiful man, kinda hard to understand)
But he's the only good man that I know
Won't you tell him for me? (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
I'm keeping a light (tell him,
tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
Shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home
Oh, we had quite a spat and that was all that but
We both said things that we didn't mean
Won't you tell him for me (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him)
I'm keeping a light (tell him,
tell him, tell him, tell him) shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home (ooh, ah)
Shining in the window
In case he decides to come home
I'm keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
Just in case he decides to come home
Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
Can't (ooh, ah) you see the light?
Keepin (ooh, ah) a light, baby
Just in case he decides to come home
Oh, (tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him) just in case, just in case

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be, you gotta be bad
You gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know
Is love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try and solve the puzzles
In your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others have a different view
My, oh, my, hey, hey, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know
Is love will save the day
Time asks no questions
It goes on without you
Leaving you behind
If you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it if you try to
The best part is
Danger staring you in the face
Ohh, well then listen as your day unfolds
(You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold)
Challenge what the future holds
(You gotta be wiser)
Try to keep your head up to the sky
(You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough)
(You gotta be stronger)
Lovers, they may cause you tears
(You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm)
Go ahead release your fears
(You gotta stay together)
My, oh, my, hey, hey, hey
(All I know, all I know)
(Is love will save the day)
(Well then listen as your day unfolds)
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
(Challenge what the future holds)
You gotta be wiser
(Try to keep your head up to the sky)
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
(Lovers, they may cause you tears)
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
(Go ahead release your fears)
You gotta stay together
(My, oh, my, hey, hey, hey)
All I know, all I know
Is love will save the day
Love will save the day
Well, all I know, all I know
You gotta get yourself together
Love will save the day
You gotta keep your head to the sky
Love will save the day
Because the world will keep on spinning
Love will save the day
Love, love, love will save the day
Love, love, love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love, love, love will save the day

Here you are right by my side
Words cannot express how I feel
Being this close to you
Heaven seems much nearer in your eyes
I wish that I could touch your lonely heart
I can see your face and I start to trembling all inside
Don't know why but it's true
We're so close and yet so far away
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Here we are together now
Wanting you but don't know how
Knowing I care for you
Even if we have to start all over again
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you

It was nice to see you again

Would you like to come in for a minute?
I could fix you some coffee or a nightcap
I know it's late but
But the truth is
I just don't wanna be alone tonight
What I'm really tryin' to say is
I wanna love you
Over and over again
I wanna see what's goin' on
In your head
(Over and over)
Hey, hey, hey, baby

Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling
I know sometimes your whole world seems blue
Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you
But remember when you hang your head, it's hard to see the sun
There's a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come
But you've got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah
(keep smiling) keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(keep smiling) ooh, ha (don't you ever stop smiling)
Oh, don't you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when you've got to keep on stepping on
You know that you've got to be strong and understand the facts of life
You won't get no place until you make some sacrifice
Try to make it a little easy when you're doing it on your own
Once you think you've got everything, the next day it's all gone
But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)
Oh I know it's hard, I know it's hard, but you've to keep (keep smiling), oh---

Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close,
'Cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, Lord
What's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face
Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies
Take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl
Denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world
Oh, dear lord what's happening
To your precious dream
I think its washing away
On a bloody, bloody stream
Yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late and tell them nobody
Nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no it's not too late
We gotta tell all of our children
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad that you're back
So don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
Tell me what is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
No, no, don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry when I hear folks chatter
'Cause I know you cheat
Oh, the right or wrong don't matter, honey
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and you're pain
My life, oh, is yours, love
So don't explain
I said, my life is yours, love
So don't explain
Who can say what love is
That it starts in the mind of the heart
When I hear discussions on what love is
Everybody speaks of different parts
Love is funny
Or it's sad
Or it's quiet
Or it's mad
It's a good thing
Or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking
Oh I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful
Or it's gay
It's a problem
Or it's play
It's a heartache
Either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking
That if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful
Yes, beautiful
Oh, beautiful
That would be beautiful
I know
First you say you do
And then you don't
And then you say you will
And then you won't
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you don't
I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it
If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Well, I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you don't
I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it
If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now if you don't love me
I wish you'd say so
I love you so much honey I just gotta know
I'm such a fool for you
You're mine you
You belong to me, you
I will never free you
You're here with me to stay
You're mine you
You are mine completely
Love me me love me strong or sweetly
I need you night and day
Arm in arm hand in hand
We will be bound together
Heart to heart lips to lips
We're chained and bound together
I own you
I don't need to buy love
You're a slave to my love
In every way you're mine
Arm in arm hand in hand
We will be bound together
Heart to heart lips to lips
We're chained and bound together
I own you
I don't need to buy love
You're a slave to my love
In every way you're mine

Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
Last year when I had to send my Christmas cards
I had to sign my name alone
But now your name is next to mine
And there's more love in every line
I'm wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone I've known
No more blue Christmases they'll all be bright
No more just pretending to be happy when I'm sad
Going through the motions while others feel glad
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
Last year when I had to buy my Christmas gifts
I had to do it on my own
Ooh, champagne parties everywhere but without you I just didn't care
Now there's more than just a Christmas tree to decorate my home
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile, oh
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
Merry Christmas everyone
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile- what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Oh that's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you just smile
Ah, baby
How do I start? Where do I begin?
I've been hurt so much, I just need a friend
Could it be you? Will you break through these walls?
Are you willing to help them fall?
I want to love again, but I'm afraid to
I want to trust again, but my heart says not to
Your every smile, your gentle touch makes me weak
I want you so much
I want love again and this time with you
I didn't know that this would be so hard for me
Being this close to you is driving me crazy
My mind says no, oh, but my body says yes
You make one move and I'll do the rest
I want to love again, but I'm afraid to
I want to trust again, but my heart says not to
Your every smile, your gentle touch makes me weak
I want you so much
I want to love again and this time with you
Oh, it's been so long, since I've seen your face
And I'm just trying to be strong
Oh, but I think about you everyday
And it makes me weak when I see your face
I guess it means, I'm in a different space
'Cause I wanna love again and this time with you
I want to love again but I'm afraid to
I want to trust again, but my heart says not to
Your every smile, your gentle, gentle touch makes me weak
I want you so much
I want to love again
Please let me love again
I want to love again
And this time with you
Who can say what love is

And I think of you the whole day long
Hey Mr. Melody, you mean the whole world to me

Well lately I've been thinking about the ways of men. The sun is slowly sinking, and should it rise again? I wonder do we know tomorrow is not a promise? And who will carry on? I wonder who will lift us out of sadness, and will not fear the change, and won't they be surprised to find it rearranged. I wonder do we know who is to carry on I wonder don't misunderstand my feelings. I am searching just like you. I would like to know for sure, If you'll see me through, and if we're still in tune. Oh can I trust in you? There's something we must do.
'Cause, lately I've been thinking about the ways of men. The sun is slowly sinking and should it rise again. I wonder do we know tomorrow is not promise, and who will carry on?
I wonder who
I really wonder who
Yes, I'm wondering, wondering who
Will lift us out of sadness, and will not fear the change
And won't they be surprised to find it rearranged, I'm wondering
who will carry on?
Yes I wondering, wondering, wondering
I'm wondering who will carry on
Can I trust in you?
Will you see me through?
Can I put my faith in you? Who will will endure?
Who will be strong? Who will, who will, who will carry on?
When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you sees, your natural boundaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in the way
If only people would just let you play
They say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand, the magic of your wonderland
Hu-hu-hu
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When that moment has past, will that friendship last?
Who can say? There's a way!
Oh I hope... I hope it never ends
'Cause you're the best of friends
I bet you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go
Some people go around the world of love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, oh, do it for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you, make me do for love what I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
I'm in a daze from your love you see
And I, I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go, oh, yeah
Musical Interlude
You know I only want the best is true
If you believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, oh, come on and do it for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do
It's hard to say how long its been, but once upon a time
You were my best friend, I'm sorry I hurt you but I loved him, loved him
You said I'd get hurt in the end, you tried to warn me with good advice
Instead of listening, I paid the price, yes I did, you told me back then
You said he'll love you, leave you, you said his heart was cold as ice
And you were right girl, yes, he played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Hmm, it all came true, (you were right girl), I know
I should have known it all along, (you were right girl)
Yes, you were right and I was wrong, I thought you blamed him for your mistakes
That all your put downs were just sour grapes, you told me back then
That they'll be lyin, cryin' and it won't be his heart that breaks
And ooh, (you were right girl) you were right girl
He played me for a fool, (you were right girl) oh
It all came true, you were (you were right girl) right girl
Yes, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
You were right girl, you were right and I was wrong
Oh, what made me think that I was different from you
That I could make him do what he wouldn't do for you
Now you told me back then I'd never change him, change him
But he'd change me before he's through, and ooh (you were right girl)
You were right girl, he played me for a fool, he really did
(You were right girl) well, it all came true, (you were right girl)
You were so right, I should have known it all along (you were right girl)
Oh, yes, you were right and I was wrong, oh, (you were right girl)
He really played me for a fool, (you were right girl)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, it all came true (you were right girl)
yeah, (you were right girl) you were right girl
I should have known it all along, (you were righ girl)
You were right girlfriend, you were right and I was wrong, woo, woo, woo
(You were right girl) you were right my girl, (you were right girl)
You were right my girl, he played me for a great big fool
(Written by Natalie Cole)
Do you realize that I could see the windows of the world through your eyes?
Pretty eyes
(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Your eyes)
Your eyes that (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
mesmorize and hypnotize
(La, la, da, la, da, da, da)
(Your eyes)
(da, da, da, da)
They can tell no lies
Hm, Little adelines, (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
You're so fine
(Your eyes)
(Da, da, da, da, la, la)
Even your wrinkles shine
(Even your wrinkles shine)
Pretty, pretty eyes. uh
(Your eyes)
(Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Pretty, pretty eyes, uh
Da, da
Your so fine; I just hope there's time
'Cause your eyes are so kind
I feel like they're a friend of mine
Although there's pain behind
And it's so far away
But they just seem to say
It's okay, 'cause the rain must fall every now and then
But oh, ho, ho
Everything's gonna be alright again
(There goes that smile again)
There goes that smile again
The one that shines through I'll defend
Never have I seen eyes like yours
That smile much better than any I know
(Even your wrinkles shine)
Even your wrinkles shine
(Your eyes that smile are fine)
Won't you stay awhile
Won't you look through me
So I can be what you see
You're so fine
(Your eyes)
(La, da, da, da, da, da...)
Your eyes are so kind
(La, da, da)
(Your eyes)
I never would have known
It never would have shown
That you were blind
Wild women do
And they don't regret it
You tell me you want a woman who's
As simple as a flower
Well, if you want me to act like that
You'd better pay me by the hour
Don't want to travel in the danger zone
Take another number
Don't want a lover who can hold her own
Baby, step aside if you don't want to ride
Because
Wild women do and they don't regret it
Wild women show what they're goin' through
Wild women do what you think they'll never
What you only dream about wild women do
You think that love is a vision of
A princess in a picture
Well, let me tell you something, little boy
You wouldn't know love if it hit ya
Scared of someone who is off the wall
Kickin' and a screamin'
Don't you want a lover who can do it all?
Listen to me, Jack, I ain't holdin' back
? Cos
Wild women do and they don't regret it
Wild women show what they're goin' through
Wild women do what you think they'll never
What you only dream about wild women do
Come on and wild with me, baby
Everybody come on
Everybody get wild
Wild women do and they don't regret it
Wild women show what they're goin' through
Wild women do what you think they'll never
What you only dream about wild women do
Wild women do and they don't regret it
Wild women show what they're goin' through
Wild women do what you think they'll never
What you only dream about wild women do
Wild women do and they don't regret it
Wild women show what they're goin' through
Wild women do what you think they'll never
What you only dream about wild women do

Oh, Baby, sssss, oh, it's so good, hm, umm,

You've been with me through the hardest times
And you've kept my heart, body, soul and mind together

When my world had fallen to the ground
Your love was there always around
And I love you, and I love you, hoo, I love you, hoo, hoo
Ho, oh---, the world keeps changing in which we live
Sometimes people just don't have the time to give
That very special part of them that keeps our love together
Oh Baby, take my love, I hope you keep this forever
You (I love you) God bless you
(I love you) I love you (I really do)
Oh, hoo (Hey, hey and I love, I love you) I love you (I love you)

(written by h. beatty, e. holland, r. david, b. holland)
Well, well, well, well, well
You're not the image of
The man that's of my dreams
We don't see eye to eye
But you got me riding high
We're incompatible astrologically
All of the signs they do agree
That it's the nature of opposites
It must be in our chemistry
(refrain)
(opposites attract) yeah
(something just keeps me coming back)
(opposites attract)
Something about you, baby
(this feeling keeps me coming back)
Ooh, yeah, yeah
I say it looks like sunshine
You say it looks like rain
You've got your stubborn ways, yes, you do
And you know I'll never change
In a thousand ways we disagree
But the sweet vibrations from your touch
It's the magic of the chemistry
That makes me want it
Twice as much
(refrain)
(opposites attract) oh, keep coming
(something just keeps me coming back)
Keep coming back, keep coming back, ooh
(opposites attract) oh, keep coming
(this feeling keeps me coming back)
Hey, yeah, yeah, woh, woh, woh, woh
Hoo, hoo, hoo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Ahh--

Something about you, baby
(opposites attract) woo, woo, woo
(this feeling keeps me coming back)
(opposites attract)
Something about you, baby
You're my morning star, shining brightly beside me
And if we keep this love, we will last through all eternity
Just the way we are, I love it, love it,
It's just the way it should be
Cuz our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread wide as the sea
Our love will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above and we'll always be together
(Our love)
My love is surely one thing you can surely depend on
In times of darkness and fear I go to you
I know you'll make me strong
You're gonna make me happy and you're gonna make me smile
Cuz our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will be for the whole world to see
Our love will change people's wrongs to right
And we'll never die, cuz we'll always have each other------
Ha--ooh, ooh, ooh, ha, ha
Our love will stand tall as the trees
Our love will spread wide as the sea
Our love will shine bright in the night
Like the stars above and we'll always be together, yeh
Our love, we got a good old fashion love, hey, hey baby
Our love, we got a mighty, mighty good love, hey, ha
Our love, we got a mighty, mighty good love
Ooh that's right, bring it down, just a little
Cuz love is soft, love is sweet, Love is nice, love is gentle
Love is joy, love is pain, Love is laughing in the rain
I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time
Love is you, love is me
Love is just a little baby
I got love on my mind
Love is always right on time
Love is you and love is me
Love is gonna set you free, yeah
(Our love)
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, (repeat)
There ain't nothin' stronger than love
There ain't no word greater than love
And once you feel that your whole life will change, yeah
You'll never wanna hurt again, no one, never wanna hurt again
There ain't no tears, no tears wetter than love
There ain't no smile, no smile, no smile
No smile wider than love and when all forsake you
They seem to see wrong in what you say, yeah
Nobody holds the key, nobody holds the key to the answer
I know that love will show the way, yeah
Love will show the way
There ain't nothin' stronger than love
There ain't nothin' stronger than love, no love
Now you can live on my friend but you'll never, never find
No love, the word I'm talkin' 'bout can give you peace of mind
Love is the answer to the burden that you have in your heart
I know, it can give a lonely person a brand new start
Love is a blessing, ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I like to think about love as a bridge over troubled water
Oh, I like to think about love as the little children playing together
There ain't nothin', nothin' stronger than love
You know, I like to think about it, no, I like to think
There ain't nothin', nothin' stronger than love, about it, love, no
There ain't nothin', nothin' stronger than love
I really like to think about everybody, everybody comin', no
Together, there ain't nothin', nothin' stronger than love
I really like to think about it, I can see the day, yeah, no
It's gonna happen one of these ol' days, no love
L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary, E is even more than anyone that you adore
Can love, its all that I can give to you, love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you, musical Interlude
Yeh, L is for the way you look, you're looking at me

By B. Amesbury
So what do you think
Maybe he'll buy you a drink
And run his fingers through your hair
Apologize for having to stare
But he's never seen such a face
What's it doing in such a place
Says he knows a little spot
That he thinks you'll like a lot
So he takes you in his car
Background repeats (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Says it isn't far
And you end up at his home
Ah, but you knew that's where you were going
And he turns his stereo on
Makes you feel like you belong
And you end up in his bed
You're great was all he said
Chorus:
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
Yeah, yeah
So he lights a cigarette
Background repeats: (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Turns on the tv set
And you just want to be held for a while
He don't even wanna smile
So you try to tell a joke
He just lights another smoke
It's getting colder in that bed
You're great was all he said
Background repeats chorus
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
You silly fool
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothin' but great big fool
If you think he cares
You're nothin' but a fool, yes you
If you think that he wants you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
Musical Interlude
Just a silly fool, ha
Never thought it would happen to you
Oh, ho, ho, ho
Background repeats (Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Now you'd really love stay
But he says he's got a busy day
And he'll call you tomorrow night
You make sure he's got your number right
He gives you money for a cab ride home
Suddenly you're all alone
Waiting for his call
And you're staring at the wall
Ah, you're nothin' but a fool
Background repeats chorus
If you think that he loves you
Ah, you're nothin' but a fool
Silly fool, ha
You never thought it would happen to you
(You're nothin' but a fool)
If you think that he wants you
Oh you're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he cares
You're nothin' but a fool
If you think that he loves you
Oh, you're nothin' but a fool
If you think he cares
You're nothin' but a fool...

Needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
To tell the truth it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enough
To forget about you, oh baby, hey, here I am trying to be proud
Trying to fool myself with this unreal smile, telling everyone
That I no longer cling to you, but I know myself that can't be true, oh
How can I forget a love I've known for so long
The heart may not remember, but the mind goes on and on
And the more I think about it the worse off I get
Something keeps telling me you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm needing you, wanting you, I just don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that you're gone, how can I go on, the same love that made me smile
Right now it makes me blue, oh, how can I get you back, I need you here so bad
The neighbors say since you've been away, I seem to be so sad
You know they're right, I can't stand to be out of your site
You need to be here close to me to lift these lonely nights
I'm needing you, wanting you, oh I just don't know what I'm gonna do, ooh, no
To tell the truth, it just ain't no use, my mind ain't strong enought to forget about you
Baby, baby, I'm sure needing you, yes, I'm wanting you
Written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy
Let the dishes wait, no need in dusting
No reason to clean the dirty floor
'Cause I'm sure it doesn't matter
Now that he has gone away
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here today
Let them go to the park and I'll sit alone here in the dark
No joy left in my heart anymore
Let me hold on to my memories
And if I die this way just let it be
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here with me
Why should I comb my head when I know I'm not going anywhere
Why should I keep right on giving when I've lost my only reason for living
So go on, just go on and have yourself a ball
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here
I have no plans for the future 'cause he's not here at all
Hm, hm, hm...

I can't break away from you
Ooh, there's something about you that I can't explain
I get excited when I hear your name
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always here
Whenever I turn you're always near
Oh, just can't, just can't, just can't
I've only known you for a little while
Yet, I can truly say I dig your style
Even the way you call my name
It sounds like a song the angels sang
Just being near you gives me satisfaction
I tell you it's some new kind of action
Your love I could never, ever turn away
Why don't you hear me when I try to say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
You stay around me everywhere
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah
(we have a different style of love)
Different (so different, and so new)
(we have a crazy kind of love) so crazy
(crazy, yes it's true)
(and I'm gonna never turn away)
Oh, do you hear what I say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away, no, from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
Whenever I turn you're always here
Oh, you can't, never get away from you
(I can't break away)
When I rise in the morning
(I can't break away)
You, you, you, oh, you, you got the power
(I can't break away)
Each and every hour, hey, babe
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, oh, yeah
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, well
(I can't break away)
You saved my soul, yes, you did
(I can't break away)
Oh, ho, ho, you been a mighty good leader, well
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay

Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it 'bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time I've ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just can't stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just can't stay away from you
Let me tell you I've been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said you're no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, 'cause I didn't have time, no time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
There's not much you can do
So you see that's why I (just can't) just can't stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just can't) me darling, I can't stay away from (stay away) you
I don't wanna (from you) from you
I've tried and I've tried, and I've tried, I've tried and I've tried, and I've tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, you'll find it's hard to let go
And oh, I (just can't) baby, I (stay away)
Can't (from you) you see it in my eyes
'cause I'm wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just can't) I don't wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
It's not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just can't) that's exactly why I (stay away)
Can't stay away (from you) from you
Oh 'cause I'm wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, I'm down on my knees, (I just can't) hold me darling
I'm (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) 'cause I just can't stay from you, baby, no, no...
Te regalo una rosa
La encontré en el camino
No sé si está desnuda
O tiene un solo vestido
No, no lo sé
Si la riega el verano
O se embriaga de olvido
Si alguna vez fue amada
O tiene amores escondidos
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Eres la rosa que me da calor
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
Un letargo de azul
Un eclipse de mar, pero
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
Un universo de agua mineral
Un espacio de luz
Que sólo llenas tú, ay amor
Ay ay ay ay
Te regalo mis manos
Mis párpados caídos
El beso más profundo
El que se ahoga en un gemido, oh
Te regalo un otoño
Un día entre abril y junio
Un rayo de ilusiones
Un corazón al desnudo
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Eres la rosa que me da calor
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
Un letargo de azul
Un eclipse de mar, vida
Ay, ay ay ay, amor
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
Un universo de agua mineral
Un espacio de luz
Que sólo llenas tú, ay amor

Looking for something to do with your little bitty life, ah
Oh, honey, honey, honey,
You ain't never gonna find no woman like me waiting for you right there no, no, no, no, no, no,
Cause I'm the only doctor,
I'm the only doctor that got the medication that you need baby,
Whoa, I don't need no prescriptions, I already got my prescription,
Yeah, I've take pain and your ills and your thrills,
Whoa, You know something, I know you got more tears to shed,
So come on, don't be shy,
Just come to my door,
And get down on your knees and,
Make him do it baby,
Cry, cry, cry, cry baby,
Cry baby, cry baby,
Cry, cry, cry, cry,
Baby, oh oh, whoa yeah
Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love
Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax, don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love
We're on the road to romance
That's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses, to rush would be a crime
'Cause nice and easy does it every time
We're on the road to romance
That's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses, to rush would be a crime
'Cause nice and easy does it, nice and easy does it
Nice and easy does it every time
Like the man says one more time
Nice and easy does it, nice and easy does it
Nice and easy does it every time
Someone's rocking My dream Boat
Someones invading my dream
When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love
As for me it's getting down to the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care if I have to lose your love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love
Yet it wasn't enough for you
All the love I had to give
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know how much I tried, I really tried
And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won't find me being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give but you just refused my love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know how much I tried, I really tried
When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love
Though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone that I used to love

The dark is filled with dreams
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars
The wind is filled with songs
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars
- Musical Interlude -
Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars, (so many stars) oh, so many stars
(So many stars) oh, there are so many stars
(So many stars) lots and lots of stars, oh so many (so many)
Oh, so many (stars), many
So many, many (so many) stars (stars)...
Your love, like wine. Tasting sweeter to me every day
Your kiss, devine. And it melts the cold inside away
All of my life, I've been waiting for a love like this
And now, that you're here romance is just a second away.
It's gonna stay
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over, 'Til the
Mojave red turns into blue
'Til my lungs get tired of breathing, and my heart stops it's beating,
then I'll stop loving you.
And in the dark, when there's no one calling out your name.
Well I'll hold you so tight, and I'll whisper to you once again, and again
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue.
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless start praying,
I'll stop loving you.
When the snow falls on the Sahara (uh huh), 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long Time) When my lungs
get tired of breathing (oh) and my heart stops it's beating
I'll stop loving you.
I don't want to waste a single heartbeat
And sometimes my words get in the way
But I hear your love just fine. Just Fine
And it's gonna take a long time
'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long time)
When the music's no longer playing, and the faithless start praying
I'll stop loving you, oh. uh huh uh huh (When the snow falls on the
Sahara, and the sun freezes over, when the Mojave red turns into blue)
I'll be loving you, baby. (When my lungs get tired of breathing and my
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Well, can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Oh, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Mm, hmm
Who's gonna take the blame tomorrow
If we break up tonight?
If we break up
Who's gonna stop this stupid war?
That nobody's gonna win
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that came between us
So, unimportant now
All of those fights
Why do we always hurt the ones
We care the most about?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in two
By the things that happened
And the dreams that came apart
Do you still want me in your life
I need to know so tell me?
Can we still make it in this life
Or is it too late for us?
How long is time about to wait?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Who's gonna say they're sorry first
And put this hurt away?
The jury's still out on us
Split decision, split in
It's not so easy putting back the pieces
Of a broken heart
Getting back where we started
Oh, no, oh, no
It's not so easy picking up the pieces
Of a broken heart
And get it back
(Get it back)
Get it back where we started
(Where we started)
Oh, oh, oh, no but if we hold on
(But if we hold on, we can try to make it)
Can try to make it and get it back
(Maybe mend this heart)
Where we started
(Get it back where we started)
Oh, oh, oh it's not so easy
(It's not so easy)
Picking up the iddy bitty pieces
(Picking up the pieces)
(Of a broken heart)
Get it back
(Get it back where we started)
Get it back where we started
But if we hold on
(If we hold on)
We're gonna make it
(We can try to make it)
(Maybe mend this heart)
We used to be so very happy
And we used to have so much fun
And we used to spend our time together
We were as close as anyone
I used to feel your every feeling
I was a part of your every dream
I'm not saying that, "You've thrown me aside"
But oh that's just the way that it seems
So if I've done anything that I shouldn't have done
Wanna say, "I'm sorry, darling, I'm so sorry"
And if I said anything that I shouldn't have said
I'm sorry, sorry, yeah
Now we're just getting used to a brand new situation
And I found out that temptation just won't let ya do good
So we must sit down and talk and be for real to each other
'Cause I don't want my love for you to be misunderstood
If I've done anything that I shouldn't have done
I'm sorry, oh baby, I'm so sorry
If I said anything that I shouldn't have said
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh Lordy, I'm so sorry
Sorry, sorry, sorry, hey, sorry
If I've, if I've done anything, done anything I
That I shouldn't have done, shouldn't have done
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry
If I said anything, if I, if I said anything I
That I shouldn't have said, shouldn't have said
Well I'm so, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry if I've done anything
I'm really, really sorry, baby, that I shouldn't have done
Ooh baby, I'm, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm
If I said anything, sorry, I'm sorry that I shouldn't have said
I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, really sorry

Sophisticated lady, sophisticated lady
She's a different lady with a different style
She stands tall and steady like the Eiffel Tower
She is hip to politics but loves her jazz
She's got lots of rhythm she's got lots of class
Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah
Oh, ha, she wears knee length dresses with her high heel steppers
She's not no back stabber but she's sure a pleaser
She talks quiet and gentle, she acts very cool
She sticks close to her lover, she obey God's rules, woh

You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well come on over here and hug me
And, baby, I'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac
Well now way back in the Bible, temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting you
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you man with silver and they tempt you sir with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
Man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac
Now some folks say it's too big and uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old and that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda, it's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing and one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it honey, we can park it out in back
Written by Natalie Cole
Have you been to the very top of the highest hill
Where the air is fresh and sweet and the sky is so clear
Looking out on the country side and the view of the villages so far away
There is nothing to feel, nothing to feel
Come with me, won't you take my hand
Let's explore this heaven right here on earth, peaceful living is here
Me and you on this mountaintop with our love we will never stop
'Cause we both know peaceful living is right here
And here we are in Utopia where the sun never seems to go away
And the moon is our friend, hmm
Looking out on a starry night and the sky is like a sleigh for riding on
But you don't need a pin, you don't need a pin
Precious one, you're a joy to me
And I know that there's no place else I'd rather be
Peaceful living is here, yeah, yeah
Me and you on this mountain top with our love we'll never stop
And we both know peaceful living is right right, hoo--
And the moon is our friend, me and you, yeah, yeah, yeah--
Precious one you're a joy to me
And I know that there's no place else I'd rather be
Peaceful is living here, oh, me and you on this mountaintop
With our love we'll never stop 'cause we both know peaceful living is here
We both know peaceful living is here
We both know peaceful living is right here
La, la, peaceful living, la, la, peaceful living, living, living--
La, la, peaceful living
If you could see me now you'd know how blue I've been
One look is all you need to see the mood I'm in
Perhaps when you'd realize I'm still in love with you
If you could see me now you'd find me being raised
And trying offly hard to make my tears behave
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you
You happened my way on some memorable day
A month will be made for a while
I'll try to smile but can I play the part without my heart
Behind the smile
The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again
If you could see the way you captured me
Tonight, I, I just want to talk to the ladies
Oh fellows your cool but girls
If you've got a good man
You'd better keep him
Oh I know you're saying right now
What does she know?
Who is she to tell me about my situation
Well, I don't know your situation
But whatever it is, you should try to stay together
You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember
Well, today it's not nothing, just don't let him leave you, honey
'Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those
Real big things you loved about him
It was the real small things, go on and laugh but it's true
You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house
But never paid any attention to
Like helping with the groceries
And helping in the yard, painting and repairing and
Huh, paying the bills
But you know now
All I have is memories and regrets
I could have given our love a chance to grow but no
I had to challenge it and be heard
Let me tell you something
That female liberation stuff
I don't know, sometimes
I don't think it's worth it
And I'm really feeling
Feeling kind of bad y'all
I'm catching hell living here alone
I never realized, oh Lord, that you mean so much to me
I'm catching Hell living here alone, I want you to come back, baby
Come back 'cause here's where you belong, oh yeah
If I could replay
If I could replay that whole scene again, oh well
You know that I would never, never say it again
That our love, our love is at it's end
And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would
And let confusion pass on by
I took a fool's way out, oh yeah
Without one good reason why
I'm catching hell, catching hell
Lord I'm living, living, living here alone
Alone, lone, I didn't believe it could be
You know all the pressure on me, all the time
Oh, I'm catching hell, well, well
Living here alone, lone, lone, lone
Lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth, to tell you the truth
I'm going out of my mind, yeah
(Oh, do you hear me tonight)
I don't have too much more to say except
(This is my story)
Somebody told me that if you've got something
(Hey, this is my song)
That's good to you and you don't use it, you might lose it
(Sad, sad, sad, song)
(Song, so sad)
So girls hold on to your good thing
(Oh)
(You gotta hold on a little bit now)
And don't let go, oh do you hear me tonight
It's so sad living alone, living alone
Hold on to your good thing, hold on
(Well, well)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy do you know what it's like
Catching hell
(Somebody turn up the microphone, oh)
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing in a sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon met Mr. Right, was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seem a lock
We got into a drifted bank and then we kissed a lot
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle, jingle
Oh, jingle, jingle, jingle
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle, jingle all the way

Oh, jingle, jingle, jingle

Inseparable, that?s how we?ll always be
Inseparable, just you and me
It?s so wonderful
To know you?ll always be around me
Incredible, what you are to me
Incredible, you bring out the woman in me
With your style of love
Inseparable, yes, we are
We?re like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There?s no way we can break up
No words that can make us blow our thing
We?re just inseparable, that?s how it is
Inseparable for the rest of our years
It?s so wonderful

Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world the Saviour reigns
Let men, their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
Take my hand
We'll walk awhile, we'll talk awhile
Feel my love
Always there beside you
Be the one
I know you'll tell me everything
You are the one
I cherish more than anything
I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
I love you more than you'll ever know
Think of me
And know that I'll believe in you
There'll always be
This precious time together
With every tear
A love so strong
No words could ever say
A love to last forever
I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
I love you more than you'll ever know
Take my hand
We'll walk awhile, we'll talk awhile
Feel my love

I know you'll tell me everything
You are the one
I cherish more than anything
I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your style
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me
Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Que Sera, Que Sera, Que Sera
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my lover what lies ahead?
Will there be rainbows day after day?
Here's what my lover said
Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Que Sera, Que Sera, Que Sera
Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
I walked away from you once before
I still see you standing at the door
Trying to find the strength to say goodbye to you
Maybe we were wrong, gotta find what?s right for me
Oh yes, we were brave to go our separate ways
But these days I wonder who's gonna [Incomprehensible]
I am nobody?s soldier
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
I am nobody?s soldier
When my battle is over I?ll be nobody?s soldier
Life itself is war enough
I can?t win for you, you can?t lose for me
(I can?t win for you, you can?t lose for me)
Broken hearts and dreams we left along the way
Will only give us strength to fight another day
Maybe I just live too hard and love too much
But fighting, win or lose
I?ll be nobody?s soldier
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
(A lonely heart)
I am nobody?s soldier
When my battle is over I?ll be nobody?s soldier
Where do we begin to learn to live again?
Find a place for me and one day we?ll be free
When lovers part they leave their broken dreams behind
And their wounded heart to heal
Still I am nobody?s soldier
(Nobody?s soldier)
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
(A lonely heart)
I am nobody?s soldier
(Nobody?s soldier)
When my battle is over I?ll be nobody?s soldier
No, no, no, no, nobody?s soldier
(Nobody?s soldier)
Marching to the rhythm of a lonely heart
I?ve got a lonely heart
Nobody?s soldier
(Nobody?s soldier)
Nobody?s soldier
Nobody?s soldier
A lonely heart

Who do you love when your heart has had enough
And it's just another lie, and all you can do is cry
Where can you go when you're left with just too much
And its' more than you can take, gotta find another way
¡®cause we've all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more
But no matter how I'm beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down
Fed up, messed up, I still get up I'm gonna keep on
(livin' for love) no one can stop me from (livin' for love) hey, hey, hey
(livin' for love) who do you trust when you've given all you've got
And there's nothing left inside but another damn goodbye
Hey, how do you know if it's just another night
And you're heart won't be betrayed then you face another day
¡®cause we've all been there before and our hearts keep wanting more
But no matter how I'm beat down, broke down, tore down, wore down
Fed up, messed up, I still get up (livin' for love) cause I'm livin' for love
(livin' for love) no one can stop me from
(livin' for love) no one can hold me from (livin' for love) I'm livin'

And fed up, and messed up but it's all right and you can kiss my

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 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 made
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
Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
I'm gonna love you like nobody loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you just let me
You're gonna love me like nobody loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
I'm gonna love you like nobody loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
If it's sad or funny
Cloudy or sunny
In or out of the money
I'm with you now
It's the wrong time
And the wrong place
Though your face
Is charming
It's the wrong face
It's not her face
But such
A charming face
That it's
All right with me
It's the wrong song
In the wrong style
Though your smile
Is lovely
It's the wrong smile
It's not her smile
But such
A lovely smile
That it's
All right with me
You can't know
How happy
I am that we met
I'm strangely
Attracted to you
There's someone
I'm trying
So hard to forget
Don't you want
To forget someone
Too?
It's the wrong game
With the wrong chips
Though your lips
Are tempting
They're the wrong lips
They're not her lips
But they're
Such tempting lips
That if some night
You are free
Then it's all right
It's
Good-bye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Good-bye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish you love, love, love, love, love
I wish you love
Let there be you, let there be me
Let there be oysters under the sea
Let there be wind, occasional rain
Chili con carne and sparkling champagne
Let there be birds to sing in the trees
Someone to bless me whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove
But first of all please, let there be love
A doo bee yu, dup du baa, be ba, sda dup dap, beea
See da ba dap, ba bap bap baap, paayeea, peeduuya
Let there be birds to sing in the trees
I need someone to bless me whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos, cuckoos, a lark and a dove
But first of all please, let there be love
Oh, let there be love y'all
Ooh, we gotta have some, really gotta have some
We need love, love, love, love, love, love, lovely, love
Say we need a little bit of love, little bit, little bit of love
Oo shu bee bee dup dup, shu bee shu bee dup
Really need a little bit
Da ba beepa beepa beep, da ba beepa beepa beep
Da pa da pa da da da dap, dapa dapa daeeya
Dapa daeeya
Daapa dueeyaa
Tell her you care
Each time you speak
Make it her birthday
Each day of the week
Bring her nice things
Sugar and spice things
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses
One day shell smile
Next day shell cry
Minute to minute
You'll never know why
Coax her, pet her
Better yet get her
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses
We try acting grown up
But as a rule
Were all little children
Fresh from school
So, carry her books
That's how it starts
Fourteen to forty
They're kids
In their hearts
Keep them handy
Flowers and candy
Roses and Lollipops

There goes my young intended
The thing has ended, regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient, told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain
He was too good to me
How can I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun
When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world such as this is
Love has ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun (sun)
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
No, no, no
And the moment I can feel (feel that) that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Ooh, ooh
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh and when I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never, ever give my heart
Mmm, but the moment that I (feel that) feel that
You feel the same way too
And I hope you do
Is when I fall in love
When I fall in love
When I fall in love
(With you)
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo,
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
oh yeah
When I fall, when I fall, oh, yeah,
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
in love
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
And I'm not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you
(Not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
I'm not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you
(Not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you)
No, Baby, and it will be completely, yeah, yeah
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
It will be so sweetly,
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
oh yeah
I'm not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you
(Not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you)
Hey, I'm not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you
(Not gonna stop 'til I fall in love with you)
No how, no way, no, no, no
Not (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) any time soon, ooh
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high toned places
Liz Taylor's not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is something that he just can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for those high toned places
Liz Taylor's not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is something that he just can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
Cause my baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes, no
My baby just cares for me
Well I wonder what's wrong with my sweet baby
'Cause my baby just cares for, oh
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for fancy high toned places
Liz Taylor's not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is something he can't see
I don't know what's wrong with my pretty pretty baby
'Cause my baby he really just cares for
Oh oh my baby he only only swears for
My baby he only just cares for me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, yeah
Baby, what's your hurry?
Where are you goin' so fast?
You can keep your motor runnin'
But don't run out of gas
Getting there's half the fun
'Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
If we're gonna climb a mountain
We gotta take out sweet time
When you're traveling down love's highway
Don't you know speeding is a crime?
Listen, getting there's half the fun
'Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
And the best of my love's yet to come
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
Oh, my baby, we gotta slow down
Take your time, ease your mind
So stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
So just take a little longer and our love is gonna get stronger
'Cause you've got the rest of the night, oh yeah
And the best of my love yet to come
Oh, baby, for rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
I want you to take your time
Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me
Slow down baby, I ain't goin' nowhere
So why don't we just take our sweet time
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the fever climb
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand, now she had the right idea
So, baby, what's the hurry? We've got forever
If we don't use it up too fast
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
We'll get there, don't you worry
Rest of the night, to hold me
Best of my love, yet to come
Written by Pam Reswick, Steve Werfel
Though I think I really know you
And you think you know me
And we're as close at two people
Could ever hope to be
Still I can't escape the feeling
That no matter what I do
I'll never understand what it feels like to be you
I get the urge to know you better
To make our spirits one
I want to see us be together
As close as we can come
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
I get the urge to merge
I get the urge to merge with you
Have you ever wanted something
You just had to possess
And it turned into obsession
And wouldn't let you rest
There are times I can't help wishing
I could melt right into you
Hear every word you're thinking
Feel everything you do
I feel trapped inside my body
And there's nothing I can do
Want to leap across the wall
That's keeping me from you
To break what can't be broken
To say what can't be spoken
If only for a moment
To touch your soul
I get the urge to know you better
Written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy

The guys will come and go, making scenes rather sad
But I let them all know just how it is (just how it is)

Baby, baby I want you
Baby, and I need you
I'm still in love with you
Even though you're not with me
You never once left my mind
I guess I'm still in love with you, ooh, ooh---
You seem so unreal to me
Why can't I set you free
Instead I carry you around in my mind
Late at night I try walkin'
Never feel much like talkin'

Good ole' times

Love, when we touch I shiver
Just body language can you blame it
My love's like a raging river
And I think you're the one to tame it
You, you're the quiet, shy type
You always whisper never shout it
Ooh, Baby, you are my type
Why don't you tell me all about it
I got ways to make you
Make you tell me all about it
That's what I'm gonna do
Till you tell me all about it
Making love till you do
Till you tell me all about it
(Musical Interlude)
Me, I'm a lousy loner
Just call my number come be near me
Me, I'm a soulful moaner
Stay chez moi so you can hear me
You, you're the quiet shy type
You always whisper never shout it
Ooh, Baby, you are my type
Why don't you tell me all about it
(Background singers repeat:
I got ways to make you, make you tell me all about it
That's what I'm gonna do, till you tell me all about it
Making love till you do, till you tell me all about it)
I got ways
I got some special ways
I got some very special ways to make you tell me
Baby, baby
(Scat)
Tell me, tell me
I got ways to make you
Make you love me
(Background singers change to:
That's exactly what I'm,
That's what I'm gonna do, till you tell me all about it
We won't stop making love,
Making love till you do, till you tell me all about it
I got some ways,
I got ways to make you, make you tell me all about it)
Ooh, tell me that you love me
Tell me all about it, Baby
(Scat)
Tell me, Baby, that you love me...
Every captain must steer the wheel
Not by choice but from the voice that's in his ear
I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I've survived through my lies, I'm still here
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
Well, I felt fire and I got tired
Of running from the truth
And I let people down and I wore the crown
Of being the biggest fool
So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me
There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me
Look what you've done, now I've become the best
Oh, I'm the best I can be, oh, oh, oh
You've returned your love, the gift of love
I add two and two the most simple addition
Then swear that the figures are lying
I'm a much better comic then mathematican
Cause I'm better on stage than at intermission
And as far as the man is concerned
If I've been burned, well I haven't learn
I know he's around when the sky and the ground starting ringing
I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance
His words and his words alone
Are the words that can start me heart singing
And his is the only music that makes me dance
He'll sleep and he lies in the light of two eyes
That adore him
Oh bore him it might, but he won't leave me sight
For a glance
In every way every single day
I need less of myself I need more him, more him
And his is the only music that makes dance
Yes his is the only music that makes dance
You've got to learn, you've got to learn how to follow the leader
You've got to turn, turn off your pride and you're life will be sweeter
Love comes from God, surely, surely, surely you can see that
If you check out your heart, there's a part that you're keeping from me
Why don't you hold on tight, make this flight, we've got the whole night
Saddle up your gear, have no fear, we are here, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
Come on and stand by, cause there is no time, no time to sit
I'll bet you'll be quick about it, and I know you will,
Once you learn that you can't live without it
Lord only knows how long, how long, how long I have waited
And the moment is near, line em up, get em ready at the gate
We're gonna keep em' strong, moving on, we've got the whole night
No looking back, where its at, its right now, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
There's gonna be no looking back, so baby, take everything you'll ever need
Sure 'nough moving on, keep it strong, its a whole new game and a brand new street
You know, uh, you said you would if you could, I'll make it good to ya
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Hey, hey, if its real, what you feel, come on and stand by
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Come on and stand by, ha, stand by me, hey, hey, hey
(Repeat stand by me, hey, hey, hey)
And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore
We, we're just too young to know we fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye, so hard to let the feelings die
I know how much I need you now, the time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and soul unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling's right
And now we're starting over again, it's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again, 'cause every time I looked at you
I know we're starting over again, this time we'll leave all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend, we are starting over, over again
If we never leaved love then we might have never known
All the times we spent apart, all we did was break each other's heart
And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel the love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you ever better than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more
And now we're starting over again, it's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again, 'cause every time I looked at you
I know we're starting over again, this time we'll leave all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend, we are starting over, over again
Now we're starting over again, this time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home my lover and friend, we are starting over, over again
{Just when you think you know me, think again}

Well, I love you so much, honey
Gotta tell the world
Baby, baby, tell the world I do
Oh, honey tell the world
Baby, tell the world I do

Honey got a bird

Gotta say it one more time
Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna
Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna
Hmm, ain't nothing like my Corinna
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
You may be an ambassador to England or France

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody

But you're gonna have to serve somebody
Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe

Sky so vast is the sky
With far away clouds just wandering by
Where do they go? Oh, I don't know, don't know
Wind that speaks to the leaves
Telling Stories that no one believes
Stories of love belong to you and me
Oh Dindi, if I only had words
I would say all the beautiful things that I see
When you're with me, oh, my Dindi
Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees
That's how my heart is singing Dindi
Happy Dindi when you're with me
I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you
Don't you know, my Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, my Dindi
I love you more each day, yes, I do, yes, I do
I'd let you go away if you take me with you
Don't you know, Dindi?
I'd be running and searching for you
Like a river that can't find the sea
That would be me without you, without you, yeah
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I tried, oh, I tried but I haven't yet
You walk by and I, I fall to pieces
Oh, I fall, I fall to pieces
Each time someone
Someone should speak your name
Oh, oh, I fall to pieces
Oh, the time only adds to the flame
Well, you tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do
Oh, but each time I go out with someone new
Oh, you walk by, oh and I fall to pieces
Well, I tried, I really, really, really tried
Oh, but I can't forget
You walk by and I, I just fall, I fall to pieces
I fall, I just fall to pieces
Every time you walk by, oh
I just hang my head down in pride
And I fall, I fall, I fall, I fall to pieces
I fall, I fall, I fall, I fall, I fall to pieces
Even though it's been so long
my love for you keeps going strong
i remember the things that we used to do
a kiss in the rain till the sun shines through
i tried to deny it, but im still in love with you
i miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy
ever since you went away, every hour of everyday
i miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy
no matter what i say or do
there's just no getting over you
i can see the love shinning in your eyes
and it comes in such a sweet surprise
if seeing is believing, it's worth the wait
so hold on and tell me it's not too late
we're so good together
we're starting forever now.
and i miss you like crazy, i miss you like crazy

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee, I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
Can you still help somehow
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in their blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
There'd be no more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
(Amazon Bonus Track)
How do you keep
The music playing?
How do you make it last
How do keep
The song from fading
Too fast
How do you lose yourself
To someone
And never lose your way
How do you not run
Out of new things
To say
And since you know
We're always changing
How can it be the same
And tell me how
Year after year
You're sure your heart
Will fall apart
Each time
You hear her name
I know the way
I feel for you
Is now or never
The more
I love the more
that I'm afraid
That in your eyes
I may not see forever
Forever
If we can be
The best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day
To make it better as it goes
With any luck than I suppose
Like a lover, the morning sun slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy as you let it play upon your face
Oh how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover the river wind,
Sighs and ripples it's fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers, never have I known a sweeter place
Oh how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
Oh how I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you
Like a lover the velvet moon shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you in it's embrace
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you
Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)
A brincar com seui rosto (Playing upon your face)
Oh how I envy a cup that knows your lips let it be me
My love and a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights without you
Like a lover the velvet moon shares you pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you in it's embrace
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)
I might be like the velvet moon to you
A brincar com seui rosto (Playing upon your face)
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Como um radio de sol (Like the sunshine)
I might be like the velvet moon wanna be like the velvet moon
There may be trouble ahead
But while there moonlight and music and love and romance
Lets play the music and dance.
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bills
And while we still have the chance
Lets play that music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a diffrent tune and then
There may tear drops to shed
But while there moonlight and music and love and romance
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the Wheel of Life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there
You could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock-tails
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with a sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Life is lonely, again
And only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful, again
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris
Will ease the bite of it
All I care is
To smile, in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life
In some small dive...
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
NATALIE COLE - Unforgattable - Non Dimenticar
Non Dimenticar,
Means don't forget you are, my darling
don't forget to be - all you mean to me
Non Dimenticar,
My love is like a star, my darling
Shining bright and clear
just because you're here
please do not forget
that our lips have meant
and I've held you tightly
Was it dreams ago, my heart felt this glow?
Or only just tonight, dear?
Non Dimenticar,
although you travel far, my darling
it's my heart you owe
so I'll wait alone, Non Dimenticar...
Se ci separò, se ci allontanò
L'ala del destino
Non ne ho colpa, no, e mi sentiro sempre a te vicino
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own, so I'll wait alone
There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day, passed my way
And as we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
Last year when I had to send my Christmas cards
I had to sign my name alone
But now your name is next to mine
And there's more love in every line
I'm wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone I've known
No more blue Christmases they'll all be bright
No more just pretending to be happy when I'm sad
Going through the motions while others feel glad
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
Last year when I had to buy my Christmas gifts
I had to do it on my own
Ooh, champagne parties everywhere but without you I just didn't care
Now there's more than just a Christmas tree to decorate my home
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile, oh
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile
This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister
Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know
That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee
Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord
About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping
She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm
She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah
Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that I love you child, but I would not even, no, no,
Place God above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high
Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don't test me
Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy
And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then God rolled the thunder
And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry
Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder
Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, God cannot be petitioned
Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice
Your God will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water
And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter
And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee
She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee
(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), I don't want nobody else to do it
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live that something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed
So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
From their vast mysterious sky
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Yeah, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta, gotta give, gotta
Gotta, gotta, gotta give, gotta give, gotta
Pick youself up, take a deep breath, dust yourself off
And start all over again, nothing's impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up
Dust myself off, and start all over again, don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust yourself off
And start all over again, work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, but you'll be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men, who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, Dust yourself off and start all over again
Musical Interlude
Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip
Just pick youself up, dust yourself off, and try to start all over again
(Scat)
You've got to work like a soul inspired, 'til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick, you may be tired, but you're gonna be a man my son
Will you remember the famous men who had to fall to rise again
Just take a deep breath, ah, pick yourself up
Dust yourself off, have a nice trip and start all over again
You go to my head
And you linger
Like a haunting refrain
And I find you
Spinning 'round
In my brain
Like the bubbles
In a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip
Of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find
The very mention of you
Like the kicker
In a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might
Give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
"Get a hold of yourself"
"Can't you see
that it never can be?"
You go to my head
With a smile
That makes
My temperature rise
Like a summer
With a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul
With your eyes
Though I'm certain
That this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost
If a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything starting to hum
Still it's a real good bet the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day, ain't nothing like it yet
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day your mine
Come the day your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly, we've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drink that cup dry
Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near
Wait till you've seen that sunshine place, ain't nothing like it here
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine, come the day you're mine
Oh daddy, you know you make me cry
How can you love me? I don't understand why
Oh daddy, if I could make you see
If there's been a fool around, it's got to be me, yes it's got to be me
Oh daddy, you soothe me with your smile
You're letting me know, you're the best thing in my life
Oh daddy, if I could make you see
If there's been a fool around, it's got to be me, yes, it's got to be me
Why are you right when I'm so wrong
I'm so weak but you're so strong
Everything you do is just alright
And I can't walk away from you, baby, if I tried
Oh daddy, you soothe me with your smile
You're letting me know, you're the best thing in my life
Oh daddy, if I could make you see

I never know what you're thinking
I never could read your mind
I never know when I'll see you again
You might stop by but any time
You tell me we're going out on the town

Bless your heart, sometimes you don't come at all

Fine calypso woman,

Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.

She'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment
I could really make you mine
Just for a little while
Turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
I've been too long in the wind
And too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Lookin' back and hopin' for
The freedom of my chains
Lyin' in your lovin' arms again
Lyin' in your arms again
If you could hear me now
I'll be singin' somewhere
In the lonely night
And I'll be dreamin' of the arms
That used to hold me tight
If you could only hear me now
'Cos I've been too long in the wind
And too long in the rain
I'm takin' any comfort that I can
Lookin' back and hopin' for
The freedom of my chains
And lyin' in those lovin' arms again
In your lovin' arms again
I can feel those lovin' arms
I can feel 'em holdin' me close
Nothin' like lovin' arms
There's nothin' like lovin' arms
There's nothin', nothin'
To whom it may concern
You?ve found another love, I know
To whom it may concern
My heart won?t ever let you go
You tore my heart apart
When you found somebody new
But you found out that your heart
Could be broken, too
So, to whom it may concern
You?ve learned that heartache has no pride
Pretending unconcerned won?t stop those tears
You try to hide
And when you?re all alone
With just a memory
That?s when I?ll bet you?ll learn
The one who?s most concerned is me
And when you?re all alone
With just a memory
That?s when I?ll bet you?ll learn
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty, would hold my hand
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms, a kitchen, I'm sure would do
Give me not a lot of just a plot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty, would hold my hand
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
Well, I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me not a lot of just a plot of land
And thou swell, thou witty and thou sweet, thou pretty

The last guest has gone
I can tell you're as thankful as I
A good time was had by all
And a little wine
I know by that look
(Hmm) You've got other things on your mind
And I can't resist that sign
So turn out the lights and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world-just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven
Just talk to my heart
(Ooh) Say the words that I want to hear
Darling, tonight I need you near
So turn out the light and close the door
We need some time to be alone
Shut out the world-just let it spin
And maybe we'll touch
A little bit of heaven
Oh---, oh, oh, hmm---
Shut out the world-just let it spin
Maybe we'll touch a little bit of heaven
Heaven's right here for us
We don't need a mountain to climb, no, no, no
There's just the two of us
And the love between the lines
Turn out the light and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world just let it spin
Why don't we make a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close that door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light, Baby, and close the door
I know we can make a little bit of heaven
Honey, turn out the light, yeah, and close the door
Maybe we'll find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close the door
Maybe we'll find, oh, a little bit of heaven
(Written by Natalie Cole and Marvin Yancy)
Hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm, hm
Just like a welcome fire
That comes in the cold
You make my heart warm
And a little more love is born
And I'm caught up once again on you
Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows
But you're so strong
And I know I'm gonna love you long
Well, crazy maybe
But I've seen paradise
Here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
When the lights are out
And I'm in the dark
I'm not afraid, no
Long as I can get a piece of your heart
And the wind sighs
I love you
Specially when we touch
I need it so much
And I'm glad that we found love
Let the record show that I know that I've
Seen paradise here in your eyes
I'm in seventh heaven
Ooh, there's nothing quite
Like spending your life
With a special someone
It feels so right
Hmm, ooh (paradise)
Hey, I'm in para, para-dise, yeah
I'm in paradise, you know
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like to be in paradise
(Paradise) I'm in paradise
And for those who think that there's no such thing
As eternity, they should take a look at you and me
We have got the perfect harmony
Specially when we touch
You know I need it, oh, so much
I'm in heaven specially when I'm with you, hey
I'm in paradise (paradise)
I'm in paradise, paradise and a
Here in your life
Here in your eyes (paradise)
Oh really, I'm in paradise
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like to be in paradise
(Paradise) I wanna move with you
I wanna groove you, baby
With me, with me in paradise
I said I'm in paradise
Ooh, ooh, Hoo (paradise)
Yeah, to be in paradise with you and me
To be enough, paradise here in your eyes
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
You that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like, you know that I like
You know that I like
You know that I like, I like
I like to be in paradise
Spending my life, spending my life
Spending my life, spending my life
Spending all my life with you
Here in paradise, wooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Growing up wasn't easy for Annie Mae
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
A little girl in a great big world
Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
No one knew about her past
Some people swore she'd never last
She was (growing up much too fast)

Looking at life through an empty shell
And all the time she's catching hell
She was growing

Does anybody know where is Annie Mae today
Where oh where is Annie Mae
All you got to do is look into the faces of
All the young girls
On the avenue--(young girls!)
Oh, well, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ha
In the night hear her cry, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Hurt and pain keeps coming again
And again, and again, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)
Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind
Tryin' to decide if she'll make it this time

He stays out every night
And leaves me all alone
He never tells me where he goes
I'm not the only lonely one
Just ask a woman who knows
We used to share our troubles
And the good times too
Now I'm left with all the woes
I'm not the only sorry one
Just ask a woman who knows
The days are long
Oh, but the nights are longer
I've got the lonesomest blues
You'd know my only consolation
Is I ain't got nothing more to lose
So there you have the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
Oh, I'm not the only broken heart
Just ask a woman who knows
Well my only consolation
Is that I got nothing more to lose
So there you have the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
But I'm not the only broken heart
Just ask a woman and I'm a woman
Just ask a woman who knows
Oh yeah, ask a woman, ask a woman
Blow daddy, oh, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Some said we wouldn't make it this far
But they don't talk no more
(No more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we have's what others hope for
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I'm glad that you need me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Mm, matter of fact, yeah
(Ooh as a matter of fact)
I want you
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)
And I can't tell you more than that
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, matter)
Aw, blow, daddy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come and go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
Yeah, and I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
Ooh, ooh, baby
Matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)
And I'm glad that you need me right back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Ooh baby
(Ooh, as a matter of fact)
Loving you baby
(Oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact
(Ooh, as a matter, matter)
Matter of fact

Ooh, matter of fact
(Yeah, as a matter of fact)
(Natalie)
Gee, It's great after being out late,
Walking my baby back home,
Arm in arm over meadow and farm,
Walking my baby back home.
(Nat)
We go along harmonizing a song,
Or I'm reciting a poem,
Owls go by and they give me the eye,
Walking my baby back home
(Natalie)
We stop for awhile, he gives me a smile,
I snuggle my head to his chest
We started to pet and that's when I get
My powder all over his vest!
(Nat)
After I kinda straighten my tie,
She has to borrow my comb,
One kiss then we continue again,
Walking my baby back home.
(Nat)
She's 'fraid of the dark,so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
(Natalie)
Now I say if he tries to kiss me I'll cry
(Nat)
I'd try her tears all through the night
(Both)
Hand in hand to a barbque stand,
(Nat)
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
(Both)
Walking my baby,
Talking my baby,
Loving my baby,
I don't mean maybe,
Walking my baby back home
(Natalie)
I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move the earth for you
To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable, in every way
And forevermore, that's how you'll stay
(And forevermore, that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
No, never before has someone been more
Ooh, unforgettable in every way
(Unforgettable in every way)
And forevermore, that's how you'll stay
(And forevermore, that's how you'll stay)
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way?
The friends we used to know
Would always smile, "Hello"
No love like our love they'd say
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
The breeze was cool
His kiss was fire
The night birds sang their trills
And when the moon was gone
Hidden by the clouds
I put the fire out somewhere in the hills
His eyes could laugh
I saw them laugh
His lips a world of thrills
The moon looked down and smiled
On a tender love to see it
Blossoming somewhere in the hills
All night long we would samba
Laugh and sing with our friends
Love can be like a samba
Full of joy then it ends
New day, new dawn
And I have gone
In search of other thrills
The moon looks down and sighs
For those laughing eyes are crying
Silently somewhere in the hills
All night long we would samba
Laugh and sing with our friends
Love can be like a samba
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause my lovin' baby, done left this town
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings
She pulls my man around by her apron strings
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues
I got the blues, I got the blues
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
And beside a garden wall
When stars were bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale told his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close
'Cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most
Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face
Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies
Take a look at your children born innocent
Every boy and every girl
Denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world
Oh, ohh dear Lord, what's happening to your precious dream?
I think its washin' away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes
Take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody
Nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no it's not too late
We gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees
That are in the wood,
The holly wears the crown
Chorus:
O the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
(Chorus)
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
(Chorus)
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn
(Chorus)
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
(Chorus)
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees
That are in the wood
The holly wears the crown
Along the mountain pass, there is a patch of grass
Where the swingin' shepherd plays a tune
His sheep never stray, dancin' all day
Until they see the paling yellow moon
And then he leads his flock
And homeward they all rock
To the tune of the swingin' shepherd blues
This is something really extra special
A ditty we like to do just for you
It's the onliest, swinginest, grooviest
Thingy that we've ever done
And if you like it then before we are through
Then you ought to move along, groove along
And join this song and I don't have to repeat
It's swing, ah yes, now it's complete, wooh
Along the mountain pass, there is a patch of grass
Where the swingin' shepherd plays his tune
His sheep never stray, dancin' all day
Until they see the palin' yellow moon
And then he leads that flock
And homeward they all rock
To the tune of the swingin' shepherd blues, yeah
Take your time, take your time
I like the way you swing it
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Ohh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
Oh, the clock it stops ticking
And the world just stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
This ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright
Round young Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace, sleep in Heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly host sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's invading my dream
We were sailing along all peaceful and calm
Then suddenly, something went wrong
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Disturbing a beautiful dream
It's a mystery to me, this mutiny at sea
Tell me, who can it be?
A friendly breeze gave us a start
To a paradise of our own
All at once a storm blew us apart
And left me drifting all alone
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
I'm a captain without a crew
But with love as my guide, I'll follow the tide
I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Yes, I'll keep sailing 'til I find you
Sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Disturbing my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Tell me, tell me, who can it be?
Tryin' to understand this mutiny at sea
Yeah, someone is rockin', rockin'
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Simply, rockin', rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Well, I keep on sailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Gonna keep on wailing
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
'Cause someone's is rockin' my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
[Incomprehensible]
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Get out of my dreamboat
(Someone's rockin', someone's rockin')
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin' my dreamboat
Someone's rockin', someone' rockin'
Someone's rockin', someone's rockin'
Out of my dream, get out of my dream
(Someone's rockin' my dreamboat)

Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe' just around the bend
I am calling you, Can't you hear me

Beautiful dreamer, you are like magic to me
'Cause you share all your love
And your life and your love is so fine in my life
It's just what I've been looking for
Searching for and you care
Beautiful dreamer, not an illusion to me
You know I can tell by the way that you've taken my hand
In a moment of sadness your gladness is there to surround me
Astound me and you care
I've seen all the people (waiting at the station)
Waiting at the station
(no imagination) No imagination
They're too busy doing nothing
Making all kinds of arrangements
(Nothing's really) But nothing's really changing them
(Changing them)
They're (they're) still asking why (why) their well is dry
I tried to tell them that love is the answer
They need a beautiful dreamer
If I could I'd share you with them
Oh, but you know it took so very long to find what I've needed
And my greatest obsession is doing my best
Just to keep you and love you 'cause you care
You're one in a million
(Always giving into) Always giving in to
(me whenever I begin to) me whenever I begin to act
A little like I'm crazy
Still (still you never faulter) you never faulter
(never try to alter) or never try to alter my integrity
How I could I not be proud to have your wisdom
You're such a beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)
You are like magic to me
'Cause you share all your love
And your life (and your life)
And your love is so fine
(So fine in my life) in my life
And you know its just what I've been searching for
Looking for and you care
(Beautiful) beautiful dreamer (dreamer)
Better than cream cheese and bagels
Better than honey on bread
Better than champagne and pretzels
Better than breakfast in bed
Better than chili rellenos
Better than chocolate eclairs
Better than hothouse tomatoes
Better than fresh bartlett pears
Better than dining a la carte
Or simply gastronomic art
Better than anything except being in love
Better than making a million
Better than being a queen
Better than oil wells and gold mines
Better than pastures of green
Better than finding a horseshoe
Better than losing your head
Better than anything ever thought of
Better than anything ever said
Ah, ha better than singing right out loud
Or being ha, spotted in a crowd
Better than anything except being in love
Better than elephants, elephants are dancing
Better than clowns on parade
Better than peanuts and popcorn
Better than pink lemonade
Better than rides on the midway
Better than seals blowing horns
Better than men shot through cannons
Better than fresh ears of corn
Ah, better than balancing on a wire
Or watching tigers jump through fire
Better than anything except being in love
Better than driving 'round the park
Or watching fireflies after the dark
Better than anything except being in love
Hey, Diana? Yeah?
Are you sure that love is even better than shopping?
Well, there's a little sale on late floor up at Barneys
But it's still better
Oh, come on, come on
What about that thirty percent sale at Jimmy Chu's
And Sak's Fifth Avenue Friends and Family Day? Ha?
Still better
Well, maybe close second
Very close second
Better, more better

Don't mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don't want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading
When anybody asks me you know I'll say, yeah
That I love him, he loves me
We're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again
Though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'cause I don't want nobody to know
That I go through the motions (motions)
Put a smile on my face, yes, I do
I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
And I don't talk about my business to noone
If anybody asks me you know what I'll say, yeah
That I love him; he loves me, we're so good together
I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever
Don't mention my heartache
'cause I don't want nobody to know, oh, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
'cause I don't want nobody to know--
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--
That the heartache that I'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---
Don't mention my heartache
'cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
And I don't want nobody to know, nobody
(can't talk about it)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(don't want to think about it)
And I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody, I got a heartache
(don't mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It's a sweet face, yes, it is
Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody
(don't mention my heartache)
And I got to keep it a secret
(I'm minding my business)
'cause my man, 'cause my man
Ain't my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah, ho ho
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
I was just an average girl
Playing the field, hoping
For someone to come into my world
Someone not afraid to look into my eyes
And make a connection
Then you walked in my direction
And from the moment that we touched
I knew what we found was
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Walking down a one way street
I had to be careful
'Cause it seemed that every guy that I'd meet
Was looking just to have another one night stand
But through your devotion
I surrendered my emotion
I'm giving you the best of me
'Cause I'm sure that we'll be
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Everlasting love, oh yeah
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting love, uh, ha
Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growin'
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
Everlasting, what a feeling
Our love's gonna grow
Even through the fire, baby
Everlasting and never ending
Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growing
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time
Everlasting, what a feeling
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
Everlasting and never ending
Until the end of time
And even through the fire, baby
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know that the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
What a feeling
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Everlasting love, woah
Da, da, da, da, da, da, dangerous
Da, da, da, danger, dangerous
All my friends say he's much too hot
Don't get involved, it's emotional shock
But ooh, he charges my electricity
When he puts his finger on me
I said a oh, oh, oh, you know I want you and I
And I, and I need you pretty baby
I'm in the fire, there's just no turning back
Though I know, know, know
You're dangerous
So hot and heavy, I know that I just can't resist
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster
Ooh, ooh, too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I know I never felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous
Wild, even stranger, need a little danger
You make your move and I'm begging please
Then you're pushing me away, you know you're such a tease
One look can drive me right out of my mind
And get my heart pumping double time
And then I hear myself say you better be strong
Stay away, he's gonna do wrong
You better run girl while you've got the chance
'Cause you know, know, know
He's dangerous
So hot and heavy, I know that I just can't resist
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, I feel it beating faster
Ooh, ooh too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous
Wild, even stranger, need a little of your love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
I'm in too deep and when you're close to me
I get so weak
Our bodies touch and then our hearts collide
I feel inside, emotional love exploding
Oh, dangerous
So hot and heavy I know that I just can't resist this
Ooh, dangerous
I feel my heart beat, beating a little bit faster
Ooh, ooh too dangerous
The way you kiss me, I never, ever felt like this
Oh, you're dangerous

Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare
Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare
Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good
Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child
They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)
Yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today
Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin
Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody
But they can't seem to see the forest for the trees, we just can't let our past
Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when it's all over but the shouting
Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit ofhappiness
Now I know that it's really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best
And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back)
No, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today
And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to
It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again
And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead
You can't lose with the stuff you use, we've come too far just to turn around, oh, oh,
Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back)
Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fighting, people, a quitter never wins
Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten, start again, don't you look back
No, no, uh, oh, (don't look back) no 'cause we've come much too far
Just to turn around, uh, oh, oh, (repeat don't you look back) don't you look back now
Yesterday is dead and gone, don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today
And when you're crying, 'cause all your friends have forsaken you
Its not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat start again
Keep on steppin' yaul, don't look back, don't turn your head around
Get up, get out on the good foot, keep on fightin,' yeah, hold your breath
Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again don't try it

Hmm, talking on the telephone early in the morning
dawn, softly singing in your ear
A song that I wrote last night, it's so very hard my dear, you are there
And I am here, somehow words I try to say,
they just don't seem to sound right
Conversation's getting thin and my patience is too,
I gotta go I'll call you when
My show is through, oh, hello operator, give me a little more time
In the meantime get my baby on the line, please, in the meantime
Get my baby on that line, I'm sending love and kisses on the telphone wire
I hope he gets them in time, hmm, hmm, love and kisses across the pacific
Gonna send them to that baby of mine,
yeah, gonna send them to that baby of mine
(how you doing...) sure do miss ya, I'd like to kiss ya
(what...) what's that you said my dear, this connection's not so clear
But if you said I love you, then you know that I feel the same way
Hope the kids are doing fine, do they still get to school on time
Oh by the way I really miss your face around about supper time
Conversation's gettin thin and my patience is too, gotta go
I'll call you when my show is through, I'm sending love and kisses
On the telephone wire, I hope he gets them in time
Oh, love and kisses across the pacific,
gonna send them to that baby of mine
Hmm, gonna send them to that baby of mine

But I'm saying that I wouldn't hurt you for the world, oh no
I'm not so blind, Baby
I need your lovin' and you know it (yes, I do, well) 'cause I'll show it, well
I don't wanna be hurt you

'Cause I guarantee that once we get started
You'll soon be begging for more
We want the whole world to know that we are one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
Let's take advantage not for granted for the good things
(We got for the good thangs)
I don't want to be hurt you
You just be kind, Baby
We've got a good thing and I know it, let's not blow it, oh
'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious
I believe you think that I haven't noticed
The look in your eyes when you smile
And my senses tell me there's something missing
So please let me stay for a little while
I want the whole world to know that we are one
We got it together, Baby, we're one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing

And I thank that you thank that we should be together

Hey, that's all I need, that's all I want
Gimme just a little hour, just some more time
Yeah, you better gimme some time
Oh, you better gimme some time
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
(written by kevin craighead, michael craighead,
Eddie cole & natalie cole)
Ooh, hoo
You're the only one who knew why I was leaving
And you're the one who kept right on believing
I felt that I needed space to make it
I put a strain on love, I hope I didn't break it
But it's been so long
Now I'm coming home
(love) oh honey, I've been thinkin' 'bout our love all day
(love is on the way)
I'm comin' home baby (love), 'cause I just can't stay away
(love is on the way)
Ooh, I can hardly wait to see your face and kiss ya
And once I'm in your arms, you'll know how much
I've missed you, baby
All the lonely nights I longed to have you near me
Calling out your name, hoping you would hear me
But it's been so long
Now I'm comin' home
(love) hey, honey
I've been thinkin' 'bout our love all day
(love is on the way)
I'm comin' home, honey (love), ooh
'cause I just can't stay away
(love is on the way)
Oh (ooh), oh (ooh)
Hey, babe, if the love's still there the feeling won't be lost
Sure would like to pick up right where we left off
I'm gonna pack my bags and catch me an early flight
Love is on my mind, so I'll be home tonight
(love) yeah, baby, hoo, oh (love is on the way)
Love is on the way (love)
Hoo, hoo, yeah (love is on the way)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(love is on the way, yeah, love is on the way, love is)
Love is on the way, yeah,
Love is on the way, ooh, baby
(love is on the way) oh, honey (yeah, love is on the way)
I've been thinking 'bout our love all day (love is)
Love (love), oh, ooh, ooh, yeah (love is on the way)
(love) my love is on the way (love is on the way)
Yes it is, I'm coming home, (love is on the way) baby
(yeah, love is on the way) I'm coming home, honey...
Even though it's been so long
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you
CHORUS:
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away
Every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes
And there comes a such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now
CHORUS
I miss you like crazy
I miss you baby
Love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we gonna make it through
It seems believing is worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now
CHORUS
And I miss you, I missed you
All the tender love you gave me
A feeling gets this strong
You know the real thing's come along
And I miss you
I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can save me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
