1. I'D LOVE YOU TO WANT ME




When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

Chorus :
Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

Repeat chorus
Repeat verse 2
Repeat chorus

2. DON'T TELL ME GOOD NIGHT!



[written by Kent "Lobo" LaVoie]

Lying there beside me
With your head resting on my arm
Your body feels so warm
And your hair smells
Like a Sunday morning

I feel you moving closer
And I know what you're gonna say
But girl there's just no way
I'll ever like what you'll be saying

Don't tell me goodnight
It makes me feel so empty inside
And if only I could
I wouldn't sleep at all
Don't tell me goodnight
Just let me drift off slowly away
And dream of you

You reach out and you touch me
Just to let me know you're there
And I can feel your hair
And somehow I don't
Feel like sleeping

3. LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM



Love Me For What I Am
I wore the clothes you like
You said they gave me that look
I even tried to like the food
I know you like to cook
I parted my hair on the left
I carried your arm on the right
I slept late in the morning
And stayed out late at night.

I can't give anymore of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change anymore of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you love me for what I am.

I tried hard not to say the things you don't like to hear
And when to you it was apricot I nibbled on your ear
I open the door up for you, I keep my big mouth shut
But I've been moving down while you been going up.

VIDEO



4. STANDING AT THE END OF THE LINE

You've been around for a long, long time
I've seen you here before
You'll meet some guy who really turns you on
And sneak out of the side door.

You'll never look my way I know
I ain't much to look at
But one of these nights you're going
Home with me, I'm gonna see to that.

Well I'm just waiting out my time
Standing at the end of the line
I got a lot of loving I'm saving
inside for you
Yes I'm just waiting out my time
Standing at the end of the line
But you're gonna know that you've
been loved when I get through loving you.

You look right at me and smiled
One time just last week
And what one look from you did to me
It kept me in my seat

But you picked another guy to entertain
you that night
And I was left to entertain myself
so I got into a fight.

5. HOW CAN I TELL HER


She knows when I am lonesome
She cries when i am sad
She's up in the good times
She's down in the bad
Whenever I am discouraged
She knows what to do
But girl...
She doesn't know about you

I can tell her my troubles
She makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses
Not to hold her at night
We can talk about tomorrow
I'll her things i wanna do
But girl...
How can I tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Every thing seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

How can I tell her I don't miss her
Whenever I am away
How can I say it's you I think of
Every single night and day
But when is it easy
Telling someone the truth
Oh girl, help me tell her about you

How can I tell her about you
Girl, please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with
So girl, won't you tell, how to tell her about you

6. I AM THE ONLY ONE

7. DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE YOUR FRIEND




I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
you said you weren't at home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
'cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
baby that's a promise I can't keep

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so lets just let the story have an end

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so don't expect me to be your friend

I don't walk down through the village or other places
that we used to go to all the time

I'm trying to erase you from my memory
'cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so lets just let the story have an end

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so don't expect me to be your friend

you always act so happy when I see you
you smile that way, you take my hand and then
introduce me to your latest lover
that's when I feel the walls start crashing in

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so lets just let the story have an end

I love you too much to ever start liking you
so don't expect me to be your friend

8. RING..


[Songwriters: Harvey, Alex; Reeves, Edward B;]

Ring, ring, telephone ring
Somebody said, ?Baby what you doin'?"
I've been wonderin' where you've been
Now and then I think about you and me

There's no use fightin' 'bout things we can't recall
It don't matter now at all, just come on home
Baby, we'll laugh and sing and we'll make love
And let the telephone ring

Ring, ring, doorbell ring, baby come on in
Got James Taylor on the stereo
I'm glad you came around, I've been feelin' down
Just talkin' to Tony and Mario

You know, they make good conversation
Still it ain't no consolation 'cause I got love

Baby I'll give you some and if somebody comes
We'll let the doorbell ring

Said, ring, ring, golden ring around the sun
Around your pretty finger
Ring, ring, voices ring with a happy tune
Anybody can be a singer

The sun come up across the city
I swear you never looked so dog gone pretty
Hand in hand we'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man, let the weddin' bells ring

Hand in hand we'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man, let the weddin' bells ring
Hand in hand we'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man, let the weddin' bells ring

9. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS FALLING IN LOVE?

[Written by Sam Lorber / Jeff Silbar / Steve Jobe]

When your eyes met mine,
I knew that I had better play it cool --
I'm doing my best trying to resist
Cause I ain't no fool.

Where in the world did you come from baby?
You waited just a little too long
To look my way.
Now it's a little to late.

Where were you
When I was falling in love?
I was looking for you, baby.
Where were you
When I was falling in love?
Looking for you, baby.
If I'd ever looked in those eyes before,
We'd be together tonight I'm sure.
Where were you
When I was falling in love?
Where were you
Lost and looking for love?

If I'd have met you sooner,
I'd be talking to you and playing the game.
But the best thing for me to do
Is get up and leave without knowing your name.
It might have been something special, baby,
Something only people in love could understand --


VIDEO




10. NO SECRETS


I have no reason to check up on
Where you are all the time
We are so close it's almost like
You can read my mind

I have no secrets from you
And I know that you have no secrets from me
We have a love that is built on trust
That's what we have you and me, no secrets

I have never even once
Had to worry bout you
And that won't change as the years go
By that's something I just can't do
You know that I have no secrets from you
And I know that you have no secrets from me
We have a love that is built on trust
That's what we have you and me

I have no secrets from you
And I know that you have no secrets from me
We have a love that is built on trust
That's what we have you and me, that's what we have

No secrets
No secrets (We can't live)
No secrets
No secrets
No secrets
No secrets
No secrets
( FADE )


VIDEO






11. IT'S ALL IN THE GAME


Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love

You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
(Soon he'll be there at your side)

With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away

12. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LOVE



Hey baby, you're a beautiful lady
But I guess that you know it
You sure turn my head around
And I'm sure that I show it

If you'll take the chance on romance
When this dance is over
Maybe we could slide away
To a quieter place
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
How could we ever know until we try
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
We'll surly make it last till morning light

What cha saw baby
Does it so to crazy
Well I just had to say it

When my heart speaks to me
I have to obey it

Why don't you say yes
And we'll make the best
Of the rest of the night

But then again
It might never end

VIDEO




13. ALL FOR THE LOVE OF A GIRL



Hey baby, you're a beautiful lady
But I guess that you know it
You sure turn my head around
And I'm sure that I show it

If you'll take the chance on romance
When this dance is over
Maybe we could slide away
To a quieter place
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
How could we ever know until we try
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
We'll surly make it last till morning light

What cha saw baby
Does it so to crazy
Well I just had to say it

When my heart speaks to me
I have to obey it

Why don't you say yes
And we'll make the best
Of the rest of the night

But then again
It might never end

VIDEO




14. LIVING MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU



I must admit I've followed every rainbow
I've lived so high I've missed the lows
All my life
I've used my charms
Other ladies have filled my arms
But you have stayed beside me
All my life
I was looking so hard
I couldn't see
The dearest one
Who'd been a part of me

I was living my life without you
Baby you always knew
You saw through my disguise
And open up my eyes
I was living my life without you

How many times have I held you

Like I did last night
And never even seen
The light of you
So I must admit
That you saw more in you and me
Than a fool like me could ever see
All my life

VIDEO



15. I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE


I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love


ALT.VIDEO



16. SOME ONE TO LOVE


Well it's another one of those nights
The rain is falling down out side
You want to be with someone special
You want to get away and hide
You feel all depressed and lonely
Like that rain on the roof above
You think you're missing someone
You once knew
But what you're missing is
Someone to love

Someone to love someone to love
What you're missing is someone to love
Someone to love someone to love
What you're missing baby
Is someone to love

So you go out and you go cruising
And you meet some guy in a bar

And he takes you home and he loves you
But that don't take you very far
Cos when the thrill is gone
You get restless
So you take your things and go on home
But when you get there you feel all empty
Cause you know that you're still alone

Without someone to love someone to love
What you're missing is someone to love
Someone to love someone to love
What you're missing now
What you're missing baby
Is someone to love

Someone to love

Someone to love someone to love
What you need is someone to love
Someone to love someone to love
What you need baby what you need
What you need is someone to love

Man:] "All right! She's gonna sing!"
[Rose:] "All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."

Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.
But the men ain't crazy about me,
'cause I love to take my time.

If you're gonna love this woman,
gotta love me with a thrill,

I gotta find a man who will.

Love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',

You know, I'm the kind of woman,
I don't want no halfway stuff.
If you're gonna turn me loose, baby,
be sure I had enough.

You know, the cops once took me in,

but I did not need the bail.
I just shook it for the judge and he,
he put that cop in jail.

You got to love me with a feeling.
You got to love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you don't love me at all.

"All right, Milledge, this one's for you."
There was one cat who could not make it,
and Milledge was his name.
The only cat I ever knew
who left before he came.

There he's a-standing,
drinkin' pop from a paper cup.
But when it's time for gettin' down,
Milledge can not get it up!

You gotta love me with a feelin'.
Yeah, love, love me with a feelin'.
You got to love me with a feelin',
or you can't love me at all.

2. A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES

A dream is a wish your heart makes
when you're fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartache,
whatever you wish for you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday, someday,

your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.

Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.

3. LOVE SAYS IT'S WAITING

You were told to wait there for love.
Love says it's waiting for you.

And all I want to say
is I know it's never easy
getting all dressed up with no place to go.

Help, for, that's what we're here for.

All one together.
Is no one alone?

Come see your sister.
Call her your own.
Will no one hold you?
We'll hold you.

4. EVERY ROAD LEADS BACK TO YOU

Old friend, here we are,
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.

Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else
could make me smile the way you do.

All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.

I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to somethin' new.
Ohh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.
Every road just seems to lead me back to you.

5 . THE ROSE

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower and you, it's only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose

VIDEO


6. THE PERFECT KISS


Across the bridge of mercy bound,
rooms so full of Say You Will
and trains that rock like cradles in the air.
I'll stay here and hold your hand.
Love likes fools you understand.
It's part of what this life has brought;
sirens and forget-me-nots.

Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
I will try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.

All the signs that pointed home
turned their backs the more I roamed
and walked where love would never call my name.

So let me take you to the train
and hold you softer than the rain.
We're all alone, two alley cats
curled up like a scarf and hat.

Who knows how it came to this.
I don't know you and you don't know me.
But sometimes strangers cross that great abyss.
That's when angels will dream the perfect kiss.

Either way it's no use now.
He's up there and I'm down here.
But I must try to make the best of this.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.

7. LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART

I'm in love with you.
Mm, let me hear ya say
that you love me too.

Keep the love-light glowin'
in your eyes so true.

8. IS IT LOVE

Don't ask me why
you feel the need to cry.
Stop. We don't need your sad, sad eyes.

I've been up, I've been down,
I've been wandering all around.
But it's all right.
I found out the hard way.

Is it love that makes
your world go 'round and 'round?
Is it love that brings
you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,
around, around, around,
around, around.

Is it you? Is it me?
I'm my own worst enemy.
Got a start on the road
to self-destruction. Oooh, Whoa.

Don't stop, but don't go,
'cause I really need to know
what it takes just to make
th, this world go. Ooooooh.

Is it love that makes
the world go 'round and 'round?
Is it love that brings

you to my lost and found?
Around, around, around,

9. THIS OLE HOUSE

This ole house once knew my children.
This ole house once knew my life.
This ole house was home and comfort
as we lived through storm and strife.
This ole house once rang with laughter.
This ole house heard many shouts.
Now she trembles in the darkness
when the lightning walks about.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

This ole house is gettin' shaky.
This ole house is gettin' old.
This ole house lets in the rain.
This ole house lets in the cold.
On my knees I'm gettin' shaky,
but I feel no fear or pain,
'cause I see an angel peekin'
through a broken window pane.

I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.

Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

This ole house is afraid of thunder.
This ole house is afraid of storms.
This ole house just groans and trembles
when the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble.
This old house is needin' paint.
Just like me it's tuckered out,
but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
Ain't got time to fix the shingles.
Ain't got time to fix the floor.
I ain't got time to oil the hinges,
nor to mend the window panes.
Ain't gonna need this house no longer.
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints.

10. TENDERLY


The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly.
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and I came wandering by,
and lost in a sigh were we.
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly.

I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me inside.
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly.


VIDEO




11. I 'M A WOMAN


Songwriters: Leiber, Jerry; Stoller, Mike;

I can wash forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em hanging out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'Fore you can count from one to nine

I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping
Be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N

I can rub and scrub
'Til this house is shines just like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car
And powder my nose at the same time

Get all dressed up
Go out swing till 4 A.M and then
Lay down at five, jump 'til 6
And start all over again


'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N

If you come to me sick leave
You know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me, hexed up
You know I'm gonna break the spell

And if you come to me hungry
I'll feed ya full of my grits
If it's loving you want
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
Say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece
Says there's nothing that I can't do
I can make a dress out of feeding sacks
I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
That's all

CHRIS NORMAN: ONE LAST KISS [15]







1. BABY I MISS YOU

I can't stay at home.
When the night is calling.
I got lots of friends.
To join me for a drink.
But there's noone there.
Who can stop me falling.
'Cos your love.
Is like the missing link.

CHORUS: Oh baby I miss you.
When the mem'ries creep into my mind.
Baby I miss you.
Tears of desperation make me blind.
Baby I miss you.
'Cos left the good times way behind.
Baby I miss you.
Wanna be with you.

Won't miss a chance.
Looking for a new love .
Searching for the girls.
When the day is done.
But I feel my heart's
Looking for a true love.
And I know.
You're the only one.

CHORUS: Oh baby I miss you.
When the mem'ries creep into my mind.
Baby I miss you.
Tears of desperation make me blind.
Baby I miss you.
'Cos left the good times way behind.
Baby I miss you.
Wanna be with you.

2. BREATHLESS


You take breath away when ever
I'm with you.
You make me ,promises but baby they're not true.
Whispers in the night that keep me hanging on.

You walk into a room and you light up the place.
You speak the words of love we're standing face to face.
You got me on a string I 'd give you anything.

And as for heartaches and as for mistakes.
I´re had my share but baby I don't care.

Chorus: You leave me breatless when ever, you are near.
I feel so helpless a hopeless situation,
Oh, and everything depends an you.
There's nothing else that I can do.
You leave me brethless I try to play it cool.
But I'm so restless there is no explanation.
Oh I hear the sound of my heartbeat.
I´m breaking down each time, we meet.

Some people talk of you they don't know how I fell.
Sometimes I hear your name I´m in a spinning wheel.
You are a part of me you are my destiny.
I wanna hold you.
I wanna touch you.
Can't get enough oh I need your love.

Chorus: You leave me breathless, when ever you are hear,
I feel so helpless a hopeless situation.
Oh, and everything depends on you, There's nothing else that I can do.
You leave me breathless I try to play it cool.
But I'm so restless there is no explanation.
Oh I hear the sound of my hertbeat.
I'm breaking down each time we meet.

Me love is burning like a flame.
I know I'll never be the same without you.

Every day I think of you.

And thought we tried it's not to be.
So baby smile when you think of me.

And you'll be fine eventually.

Baby any time at all .

And if one day we meed again.
And if I try a new romance.
Turn around don't hesitate.
'Cos we won't get a second chance.
I know we tried to get along.
No turning back no right or wrong.

Chorus: Don't your cry, baby it's not so bad.
Don't ask why, baby don't look so sad.
'Cos you'll look back one day and think of what
we had. So don't you cry.

4. SOME HEARTS ARE DIAMONDS


Open your heart to all of those years

Baby
you look through a rainbow of tears.
You watched your dreams all fadin' away

This time you're right
oh
you make my day.
Years may come
years may go
But I still love you and I want you to know:

Some hearts are diamonds
some hearts are stone

Some days you're tired of being alone.
Some hearts are diamonds
some hearts are stone

It takes two lovers to be as one.

Illusions of love
they'll come and they'll go

Trust in your heart
maybe your love will grow.
Your silent tears they're so full of pride

Baby
I know that you can't run and hide.
You need love like I do

I hope you want me like I know I want you.

Some hearts are diamonds
some hearts are stone
. . .
Some hearts are diamonds
some hearts are stone -
Some hearts arr diamonds
some hearts are stone

Some days you're tired of being alone

Some hearts are diamonds.

5. NO ARMS CAN EVER HOLD YOU




Baby
frozen tears
it was hard through the years

I'll never give up
never one of my dreams.
Deep inside is my love still alive

and God only knows that I can't let you go.
When I'm in love it'll be for better

I gave you my heart for ever and ever.

No arms can ever hold you more than I do

No man can ever love you
no

No arms can ever hold you more than I do

You came to me from heaven
girl

And if I ever lose your love
if I ever lose your heart

Oh baby
I'm dying for your love.


Baby
now I'm alone and I try to be strong

But my baby
I cry
silent tears without pride.
And I can't hold on to the feeling that's gone

And there's nothing to lose
'cause I'm playing the fool.
When I'm in love it'll be for better

I gave you my he'art for ever and ever.
No arms can ever hold you more than I do
. ..

And l ever lose your smile
and if I ever lose your heart

Everybody nee@ someone to love
and I say:
No arms can ever hold you more than I do

6. BROKEN HEROES

Love is like a looser's game

I'll never play again

I'm through with love forever.
Oh
I'm like a fallen star

Love can leave a scar

It's raining in my heart
babe.
Yes
it's true
I'm still missing you.

Broken heroes and fallen angels

Broken dreams and hearts ot stone

There's no smoke
girl
without a fire

And I'm standing here alone
all alone.

How much have I sacrificed?
My heart aches deep inside
In the name of love
girl.
And how much time and loneliness
I traded for a kiss

It's raining in my heart
babe.
Yes
it' s true
I'm still missing you.

Broken heroes and fallen angels

Broken heroes and fallen angels

Another restless night without you

The inner conflict that's inside me

to try and find some words to say.

Emotions tear me apart

thoughts never spoken are here in my heart. . . .

Sarah

Foolishly laying our hearts on the table

You were so young, and I was so free
I may been young, but baby that's not what I wanted to be
Well you were the one, oh why was it me


'Cos baby you've shown me so many things that I've never seen
Whatever you need, baby you've got it from me

Fly to me
fly to me on the wings of love
fly to me.
They will take you through the storm to the place where you belong

You can find your way back home on the wings of love.

Can't you see
can't you see how the wings of love can set you free?
From secrets in your mind to a place that we can find

Come back to this heart of mine on the wings of love.

On the wings of love we can turn back again

To the place where love was born.
And the wings of love
they can carry us on
To a time when pain is gone.

Wait for me
wait for me
through the wings of love you will see
That I need your warmth tonight to feel you by my side

Together we can hide in the wings of love.

On the wings of love
We can turn back again...
Fly to me
Fly to me on the wings of love

Fly to me.

nights no longer seem as lonely as they used to be
one last kiss is all I'll ever ask from you
on a night like this there's nothin' I would rather do

oh on a night like this I'd give you everything
although I've missed things, kept out of sight
I'D rather be with you tonight than anything
and when I feel your tough. sometimes it hurts so much
the way you look at me can never set me free
I gotta have your love

one last kiss...

oh with a girl like you I don't know who to be
sometimes you play me best out of there

and though I need your touch, sometimes it hurts so much
and when the feelin's gone and you still lead me on
I've got to have your love

one last kiss...

11. AMAZING



Oooh, Guess I took your love for granted
Even though you cared for me
Losing you has left me stranded, like a single fallen leaf
I was foolish and demanding and just too blind to see
You'll always be a part of me baby
How can I survive?
I realise as a consequence
I know that your heart still has a home for me

CHORUS:


Baby, I'm amazed with the thought of you
You're so amazing
Lost in all the thoughts I have of you
Come back here, baby
Every night I whisper to the stars, don't wanna sleep without you
I don't wanna live without your love, it's so amazing


I sacrifised what I should cherish
All you asked was love from me
Now I understand your feelings
You're the air I need to breathe
Never meant to cause you any sadness
And you can blame it all on me
The heart of me will always be,baby sinner of my life

Imagining you loving someone else
I don't wanna be reality, nooo

CHORUS:

Baby, I'm amazed with the thought of you
You're so amazing
Lost in all the thoughts I have of you
Come back here, baby
Every night I whisper to the stars, don't wanna sleep without you
I don't wanna live without your love, it's so amazing

Insecure when I let you go
There was so many things that I didn't know
I can't forget that very night
You turned around and walked away from me, girl

CHORUS:

Baby, I'm amazed with the thought of you
You're so amazing
Lost in all the thoughts I have of you
Come back here, baby
Every night I whisper to the stars, don't wanna sleep without you
I don't wanna live without your love, it's so amazing


Baby, I'm amazed
Every night, every night
So amazing, baby
So amazing

12. BREAK THE ICE



There's so much I could say to you
If I could find the words to use
holding back the fears for oh so many years
images of broken dreams
that float away in endless streams
thoughts I had of you when nothin' else would do

people say love is round the corner
I've had my share of that
every day feel a little stronger
now I know our love was made to last

if I could break the ice
you and me we've paid the price, over and over
break the ice there's nothin' left to sacrifice
hearts growin' colder now
so we will break the ice

the burnin' that I feel in me
lies open now for all to see
I'm drownin' in my tears, cried for many years
an empty heart an empty room
a dream that ended all to soon
promises you write, seem helpless in the night

you may say love will last for ever
I have my doubts of that
every day, oh I can still remember
that I know our love was made to last

if I could break the ice...

13. FOR YOU


well the first time I saw you
on that cold winter's day
I was trapped between heaven and hell
and I really tried hard
to escape from your eyes
but my heart was too weak and I fell
for you

I knew nothing about you
but I just didn't care
in desire for you I was caught
and I promised myself
I will never give up
I had no chance at all but I fought
for you

[instrumental]

and we shared a few light years
in a land we called love
and your kiss was a dangerous gift
but my soul was addicted
to all that you gave
and I prayed und I cursed but I lived
for you

[instrumental]

well the last time I saw you
on that cold winter's day
oh I felt such a deep pain inside
and I wanted to hide it
away from your eyes
but my heart was too weak and I cried
for you

ooh you know I can't hide it
I see it in your eyes
baby oh for you

     1.      IF I NEVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN

[Songwriters: Levine, Adam; Valentine, James;]



Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
You say I'm not your type but I can make you sway
It makes you burn to learn you're not the only one
I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun

Now you've gone somewhere else faraway
I don't know if I will find you
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we've gone much further
Than I thought we'd get tonight

Sometimes you move so well, it's hard not to give in
I'm lost, I can't tell where you end and I begin
It makes me burn to learn you're with another man
I wonder if he's half the lover that I am

Now you've gone somewhere else far away
I don't know if I will find you
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we've gone much further
Than I thought we'd get tonight

Baby, baby, please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind

Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don't deceive me
Talk to me 'bout taking your time

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we've gone much further
Than I thought we'd get tonight

You keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we've gone much further
Than I thought we'd get tonight

      2.      SWEETEST GOODBYES

Where you are seems to be
As far as an eternity
Outstretched arms open hearts
And if it never ends then when do we start?
I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever did receive

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say

How does it feel to know you never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I
Dream away everyday
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart

I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever, ever, ever did receive

Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you comeback
I have some things to say

[x2]
How does it feel to know you never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I feel

       3.       INFATUATIONS

[Songwriters: Adam Noah Levine]



Baby, I don't wanna spend my life on trial
For something that I did not do
And maybe if you stopped and looked around sometime
I wouldn't pass right by you

Maybe it's because you are so insecure
And maybe your pain don't care
Maybe it's the chase that really gets me off
It falls away and it's just not there

You burn another bridge
Break another heart
You try again, it will only fall apart

Infatuation, not seeing the rest of you
Is getting the best of me
It's such a shame that you shot me down
Would have been nice to be around

I'm touching your skin
If it's only a fantasy then why is it killing me?
And I guess this must be infatuation

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it

I try to put my finger on what burns me up
It always seems to escape me
And when you have decided that you've had enough
Just tell me where I need to be

And now her face is something that I never had
To ever deal with before
She left me with the feeling that she'd had enough
And I'm the one wanting more

Burn another bridge
Break another heart
You try again, it will only fall apart

Infatuation, not seeing the rest of you
Is getting the best of me
It's such a shame that you shot me down
Would have been nice to be around

I'm touching your skin
If it's only a fantasy then why is it killing me?
And I guess this must be infatuation

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it

I'm so attracted to you
The feeling's mutual too
And I get scared the moment you leave
Get so hot, I forget to breathe, yeah

Infatuation, not seeing the rest of you
Is getting the best of me
It's such a shame that you shot me down
Would have been nice to be around

I'm touching your skin
If it's only a fantasy then why is it killing me?
And I guess this must be infatuation

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it

            4.      THIS LOVE

[Songwriters: Adam Noah Levine;James Valentine;Michael Allen Madden;Jesse Royal Carmichael;Ryan Michael Dusick]



I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart, oh!

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
?Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied, oh!
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
?Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
(It's alright, it's alright)
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Because I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
?Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And my heart is breaking in front of me
And she said goodbye too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
Her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice
'Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

         5.       MY HEART'S  A STEREO


My Heart's a stereo
It beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Oh, Oh
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

-Gym Class Heroes Baby-
If i was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If i asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like if read well, check it Travie, i can handle that
Further-more i apologize for any skipping tracks
Just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to now im over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If i could only find a note to make you understand
I sing a song for me and you would grab me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune
And know my hearts a stereo that only plays for you

Chorus:
My hearts a stereo
It beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Oh, Oh
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
To my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
So sing along to my stereo

Lets go
If i was an old school fifty pound boom box
Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up before of the cops
And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
And all i ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make
You never know, we come and go like were on the interstate
I think i finally found a note to make you understand
If you could hear it sing along and take me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you

My hearts a stereo
It beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Oh, Oh
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
To my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
So sing along to my stereo

I only pray you never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find
I take your hand and pull it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now your changing my mind

My hearts a stereo
It beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Oh, Oh
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
To my stereo
Oh, Oh, Oh
So sing along to my stereo

          6.         HANDS ALL OVER


Put your hands all over
Put your hands all over me
Put your hands all over
Put your hands all over me

I cant seem to find the pretty little face I left behind
wandered out on the open road
Lookin’ for a better place to call home
Gave her a place to stay
And she got up and ran away

7.           MISERY

[Songwriters: Carmichael, Jesse Royal; Farrar, Sam John; Levine, Adam; Madden, Mickey; Valentine, James;]



Oh yeah
Oh yeah

So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be

So let me be, and I'll set you free

I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Your salty skin and how it mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be completely intertwined
Not that I didn't care, it's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel, it's what I didn't show

So let me be, and I'll set you free

I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
Now I'm gonna get you back

You say your faith is shaken, and you may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused, so far away from you
I'm getting there, I don't care where I have to roam

Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
Why do you do what you do to me yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?

I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back

           8.        MISS YOU,   LOVE YOU

[Songwriters: Carmichael, Jesse; Levine, Adam;]

This is not been easy, this has been hard
I am scarred and I do not know what to do with you
Go inside, kiss your mouth, lick my lips, strap your hips
Can't remember why I fell in love with this

I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time, oh no
You beg me, you ask me to kiss you and hug you
You won't be getting my affection again, oh no
I don't need you

Who do you think you are? No one cares about a name without a face
So don't go shooting up the place
Make no mistake, your love's not real 'cause the love I've got is deeper
So much deeper than you can ever feel

And I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time, oh no
You beg me, you ask me to kiss you and hug you
You won't be getting my affection again, oh no
'Cause I don't need you tonight

It was really nice to know you and nothing left to show you
I got bills to pay, get out of the way, it's time to move on
And dinner with your boyfriend will never be the same again
Discuss me over cigarettes and say to him

I miss you, I love you
It's a shame, you can't stay away from me this time, oh no
You beg me, you ask me to kiss you and hug you
You won't be getting my affection again, oh no
'Cause I don't need you

I miss you, I love you
It's a shame, you can't stay away from me this time, oh no
You beg me, you ask me to kiss you, hug you
You won't be getting my affection again, no, no
'Cause I won't need you

         9.          NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER

[Songwriters: Levine, Adam;]

It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness gets us both

I tried and tried to let you know
I love you but I'm letting go
It may not last but I don't know
Just don't know

If you don't know then you can't care
And I show up but you're not there
But I'm waiting and you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday with every word whispered
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing last forever but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

A web that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving all it makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
Never let it fall apart
Strangely I wish secretly
It won't fall down while I'm asleep

If you don't know then you can't care
And I show up but you're not thereBut I'm waiting and you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday with every word whispered
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing last forever but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

But we have not hit the ground
Doesn't mean we're not still falling
I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help

What a shame
I hope you find somewhere
To place the blame
But until then the fact remains

Everyday with every word whispered
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
Nothing last forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Everyday with every word whispered
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing last forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

            10.        UNTIL YOU ARE OVER ME


[Verse 1]
This relationship is over,
though my stomach still hurts.
And now I'm gonna live alone,
Why is the pain much worse?
You're so much better without makeup,
Why would you hide your face?
Don't want to spend the night and wake up,
Realize I've made a big mistake.

[Chorus]
I can not refuse your eyes,
Please don't look at me tonight.
My heart beats fast I know you're there,
And I pretend like I dont care.
It hurts so bad to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.

[Verse 2]
I never meant to keep you waiting,
and now your food is getting cold,
I keep denying I'm in love with you,
My routine is getting old.
And now you stand in front of the table,
And say you never look back.
Your super stupid when you're angry,
You only wake up sad.

[Chorus]
I can not refuse your eyes,
Please don't look at me tonight.
My heart beats fast I know you're there,
And I pretend like I don't care.
It hurts so bad to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.
It hurts too much to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.

No more kisses on your lips, tender touch or...
I'd rather die on my two feet than live down on my knees.
And you're the girl to get me over what we start to be
And I just cant get over you, and until you're over me.

[Chorus]
I can not refuse your eyes,
Please don't look at me tonight.
My heart beats fast I know you're there,
And I pretend like I don't care.

I can not refuse your eyes,
Please don't look at me tonight.
My heart beats fast I know you're there,
And I pretend like I don't care.

It hurts too much to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.
It hurts too much to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.

       11.          SHE WILL BE LOVED

[Songwriters: Carmichael, Jesse; Madden, Mickey; Levine, Adam; Dusick, Ryan; Valentine, James;]

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls, yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
(Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
(I don't mind spending every day)
(Out on your corner in the pouring rain)
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

        12.         MAKES ME WONDER

[Songwriters: Carmichael, Jesse; Madden, Mickey; Levine, Adam;]

Wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
Way it felt to hearing lies
People that made you cry

Feel so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath
After that, after that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a thought about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye

Can?t stop my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
Deal with things I've left unsaid

Want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
Get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a thought about you

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
Even makes a difference to try, yeah

And you told me how you're feelin'
But I don't believe it's true anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
So this is goodbye

I've been here before, one day, a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie, I have no alibi
The words you said don't have a meaning 'cause

I still don't have a reason and you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a thought about you and I
So this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
Even makes a difference to try, yeah

And you told me how you're feelin'
But I don't believe it's true anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
So this is goodbye

So this is goodbye
Yeah, so this is goodbye
Yeah, so this is goodbye

       13.              WON'T GO HOME WITHOUT YOU

[Songwriters: Levine, Adam;]

I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
And she left before I had the chance to say
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe it

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath, I'll never get over
And the noises that she made kept me awake
The weight of the things that remain unspoken
Built up so much, it crushed us every day

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking, why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?
Hard to believe it
It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I've felt I've never really showed
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you

               14.          WAKE UP CALL

[Songwriters: James Valentine;Adam Noah Levine]



I didn't hear what you were saying
I live on raw emotion, baby
I answer questions, never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me
So who the hell are you to say 'we'?
I never would've made it, baby
If you needed love, well, then ask for love
Could've given love, now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault 'cause you both deserve
What's coming now, so don't say a word
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so!
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't think so!
I would've bled to make you happy
You didn't need to treat me that way
And now you've beat me at my own gameAnd now
I found you sleeping soundly
And your love is screaming loudly
I hear a sound and hit the ground
If you needed love, well, then ask for love
Could've given love, now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault 'cause you both deserve
What's coming now, so don't say a word
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me?
I don't think so!
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't feel so bad
I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so bad
I'm so sorry, darlingDid I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?Is his heart still beating?
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't think so!
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here, I don't feel so bad
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Care about me? I don't think so!
Six foot tall, came without a warning
So I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
No, he won't come around here,
I don't feel so bad
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don't you care about me? I don't feel so bad
Wake up call, caught you in the morning
With another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?

The new introduction of blog formats in "BLOGGER" is posing difficulty in posting a blog. This morning I tried to publish a post and was frantically trying to make it as earlier blogs. But the result was so disappointing, that i feel I won't be able to post any blogs in future with the new kind of format as shown there. Previous Dashboard was quite substantial and capable of posting a an article even by the novices and even after an experience of more than 4 years in blogging in "BLOGGER" i find it so difficult to understand the theme oand methods to publish a post without errors. the new one is nt capable of separating the paragraphs. Till the editing stage it was looking somewhat perfect but at the publishing level it is all errors in formats.

1. A TIME TO LOVE

We have time for racism
We have time for criticism
Held bondage by our ism's
When will there be a time to love
We have time to debate religion
For passing bills and building prisons
For building fortunes and passing judgements
When will there be a time to love
At this moment in time we have a choice to make
To either walk a path of love
Or be crippled by our hate
We have time to cause pollution
We have time to cause confusion
All wrapped up in our own illusions
When will there be a time to love
We make time to conquer nations
Time for oil exploration
Time for hatred, violence and terrorism
When will there be a time to love
At this moment in time
We have a choice to make
Father God is watching
While we cause mother earth so much painIt's such a shame
Not enough money for
The young, the old and the poor
But for war there is always more
When will there be a time to love
We make time for buying status
Or paying bills and paying taxes
But we will pay the consequences
If we don't make the time to love
Now's the time to pay attention
Yes now is the time... to love..
A time love... Love...
A time to Love
Please, please won't you tell me
When will there be a time to love...

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer dayMy cherie amour, distant as the milky way

You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
La la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la la la, La la la la la la
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud

3. CAN'T IMAGINE LOVE WITHOUT YOU
Can you picture mother earth in the palm of your hand?
The entire universe as a tiny grain of sand
And it feels impossible to do
As I can't imagine love without you
Think of drinking every sea with its salty waters dry
Sprinting 'round the world three times faster than a rocket flies
And the thought of it you can't pursue
As I can't imagine love without you
Some thoughts are just no brainers
Not worth an ounce of time
Yet others inconceivable
So they never cross your mind
Travel back though life inside one
Atlantis summer's night
Add up every single star
Since the day there first was light
How and where to start
You'll have no clue
As I can't imagine love without you
Yet others inconceivable
So they never cross your mind
Travel back though life inside one Atlantis summer's night
Add up every single star
Since the day there first was light
How and where to startYou'll have no clue
And the thought of it you can't pursue
'Cause it feels impossible to do
As I can't imagine love without you
I can't imagine love without you

4. MY LOVE IS ON FIRE


Look at how they stop and stare
As if they've never seen a heart in love
And though I see them I don't care
Cuz, I'm too busy thinking bout our love
Thinking about that each and every morning
I wake up to that love glow in your eyes
And though it seems I'm hooked on this fixation
I will not stop my daydreaming
Until my nights are true with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I'm burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Listen at me call your name
As if you're witness to my every word
And though it seems sometimes insane
Something within me tells me they'll be heard
So I wait so patiently the moment
When my love fantasies will come to life
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I'll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I'm burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
On flute, Hubert Laws
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I'll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I'm burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine

6. ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

7. DID I HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME?

Aaah...
Did I hear you say you love me
Well baby I've got to know
‘Cause if you really really love me
You've got to do things to show
Don't give me the wrong impression
By showing me warm expressions
Put me in the right direction
With tender love and affection
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Did I hear you say you need me
Well baby tell me the truth
‘Cause if you really really need me
My sweetness here's what I'll do
Cut out all my crazy playing
‘Cause for your love I have been laying
Just tell me that is what you're saying
And I'll be yours without delaying
I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Sounds so good
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you

Did I hear you say you want me
Now please don't give me no mess

‘Cause if you really really want me
You've got to give me your best
Put my love life right in the pocket
And dare someone to try to top it
And when you think I want to drop it
Just love me ‘til I beg don't stop it
‘Cause I've been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside

Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Baby, if you love me let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me let me hear you say
I love you
And if you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you

8. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

Me and my heart took a
Vow from the start and a
Vow to my heart I never break

Seasons may come and the
Seasons may go but know
Through every time and space
My love will always stay forever and always

From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you're wondering just how long I'll love you
Try forever that's how long I'll feel this way

Me and my heart got a
Promise from the stars that they'd
Keep this love burning endlessly
People will come just as
People will go but know
Whatever life has in store
Through all eternity you will have my love for always

From the bottom of my heart, I love you
I can say these words to you without delay
If you're wondering just how long I'll love you
Try forever that's how long I'll feel this way

Yes, forever is how long my love will stay
Forever is a long, long time
But so what?

9. I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart

10. FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE


[Songwriters: Miller, Ron; Murden, Orlando;]

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true
Yeah yeah yeah

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it"
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/stevie-wonder-lyrics/for-once-in-my-life-lyrics.html)
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Hey yeah, oh baby, oh baby

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, "This is mine, you can't take it"
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
Oh for once in my life, yeah somebody like needs me
Ooh baby

11. HOW COME, HOW LONG.

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/stevie-wonder-lyrics/how-come,-how-long-lyrics.html)
And maybe next time we might save
somebody's life

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some ... wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a man
Soon reality ...
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime

How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

12. STAY GOLD.

Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold

Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold

But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold

Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold

13. I WISH

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doing it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go

14. SIR DUKE

Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people

Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Sachimo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
I can feel it all over-all over now people

Can't you feel it all over
Come on let's feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
Everybody-all over people

15. SUPERSTITION.

Very superstitious, writing's on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
