Surely you know how I stand
On the question of my loving you
Haven't I proved it in so many ways
Surely you can tell by the way
I kiss your lips that I want you
More surely than my words can say
I see you stand and accuse me
Of no longer wanting you
Misunderstanding what others have seen
Surely you won't let idle people
With nothing else to rely on
Tear down all our hopes and our dreams
Tell me, does the rain fall
(Surely, surely)
And does the summer always follow spring
How does a turtle go
(Slowly, surely)
That's how my love grows, surely, surely, surely
(Surely, surely, surely)
Darling, if your head misleads you
Just listen to your heart, it knows I need you
Just as surely as the sun is gonna rise
(Surely)
Just as surely as the birds are gonna sing
(Surely)
Just as surely as everything is part of everything
I'm a part of you
Surely I know that I'm a part of you
And surely you know that I love you
Surely I'm still on your mind just a little bit
Surely there's a mem'ry that you can't forget
How can a love so strong suddenly just fade and die
There must be a reason why darling surely
I wanted very much to make you love me and I tried every way that I knew how
And I just can't walk away with a mem'ry when I love you more than ever right now
Surely I'm still on your mind...
new love, new beginning
look how it just begun
starting a new love, here I come
I'm heading for a good time, baby
you are the one
I want you to know this
so now we gotta get it down
do it right until anew has started
your touch has got me spinning round
and I feel it's time to say out loud
(you know it) mm-hmm
(I know you want it, baby) mmm
(you need it) yeah, you do
(just try to understand) understand me
(I love it) mm
(I know you love feeling it, too)
you're into me
don't you know I'm into you
(surely)
(you know it's about time)
(to make up your mind)
(and just start love over) over
(surely)
(you can tell it's real) tell it's real, baby
(that's how I feel) ooh
(that we should be together)
now that love as one
happiness has overcome me
the feelings only makes me crazy
you are the one
I think you should know this
I know our love's built on solid ground
this is it, our love have just been found
as we take it to another level
I'm feeling hints of guilt or doubt
(you know it) hey baby
(I know you feel it, baby) mmm
(you like it) yeah, you do
(I gotta make you feel good)
(you feel it) mm
(you feel it and it makes me love you)
(we got it)
don't it make you feel good, yeah
(surely)
(you know it's about time) woh
(o make up your mind) surely
(and just start love over) start love
(surely)
(you can tell it's real) tell it's real, baby
(that's how I feel) feel it in my soul
(that we should be together)

(Surely)
When she walked in, she shone like a star
No wonder she makes you forget, where you are
To tell you of that goddes is my duty
No rose or swan could match her beauty
I knew as time went by she'd be gone
When I see her I know, life goes on and on
Surely I cannot live like a monk
But to do her, I was just too drunk
She could make the mountains shake
And every sleeping flower awake
When she spoke to me it felt like a breeze
That gently blows in spring through trees
I can't recall what she said, my blood started to run
But the look in her eyes said you're the chosen one
I tried to answer it took me a while
But what I said chased away her smile
Surely I cannot live like a monk
But to do her, I was just too drunk
With a very hard slap that shattered my face
I knew soon she'd be on the next one's trace
When I think of the pain my eyes open wide
Surely there's a way, I could please you
Only in your past, lie the tears
Surely there's a day, you can say went your way
Some illusion, you can keep through the years
Only if I lied, could I love you?
Nothin' of our lives could we share
Only could we try to get by, on a sigh
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely You won't forsake the ones who seek Your face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely You won't forsake the ones who seek Your face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
In Your presence there is fullness of joy and laughter
He rejoices over us with singing and we are changed
As we welcome the heart of the Master
And the heavenlies are ringing out with praise in one accord
Praise to the Lord
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely You won't forsake the ones who seek Your face
Surely the presence of the Lord is
Surely the presence of the Lord is
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
Surely I'm still on your mind just a little bit
Surely there's a mem'ry that you can't forget
How could a love so strong suddenly just fade and die
There must be a reason why darling surely
I couldn't find the way to make you love me though I tried every thing I knew how
And I just can't walk away with a mem'ry when I love you more than ever right now
Surely I'm still...
Surely you know what i’ve been dying to say
God knows it’s hard
When you’re not here i can pour out my heart
The words just come
But timing isn’t my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
I keep the lump in my throat
For crying out loud
What’s the worst that can happen
Maybe i’ll die
Maybe my life will begin
But sometimes even the best lines are misconstrued
At times i’m eloquent
Though not in front of you
I could keep it so quiet
Never tell you my secret
Living a lie
I yell inside
Timing isn’t my best point
I miss the boat
Too scared to spit it out
Kept the lump in my throat
For crying out loud
What’s the worst that can happen
Maybe i’ll die
Maybe my life starts here
At first it was not
easy I could
hardly decide
if there's a
place in my head
for you and your life
I don't know why you
always try to deny
this intensively
journey of two bodies
with one mind
so put your hand
between my legs
and I'm sure
I'm going to a high
I thought you
wouldn't see me
but then I saw your smile
I had these thing
in my head going
on for some time
my hands were
trembling so there's
no loosing time
I don't know why
you always try to deny
this intensively
journey of two bodies
with one mind.
So put your hands
between my legs
and I'm sure
I'm going to a high (2x).
Naked I will - naked high
I'm sure
