GLENN ALAN MEDEIROS: ALL I AM MISSING IS YOU [15]




Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970, Lihue - Kaua'i, Hawaii) is an American singer-songwriter of Portuguese descent.

Medeiros began his musical career at the age of 10 when he helped his father entertain guests on his tour bus on the island of Kauai. In 1987, at the age of 17, Medeiros won a local radio talent contest in Hawaii when he performed a cover version of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" which was subsequently produced into an album by a small local independent label. A visiting radio executive from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona heard the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where, through word of mouth, it became a national hit. Later, a worldwide hit, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 1988.

In 1988, he recorded the single "Un Roman d'amitié (Friend You Give Me a Reason)", a successful duet in France with Elsa Lunghini. He also achieved a 1990 United States #1 hit duet with Bobby Brown entitled "She Ain't Worth It". The same track peaked at #12 in the UK chart. He had another hit duet with Ray Parker, Jr. titled "All I'm Missing Is You" which peaked at US #32. In 1989 Glenn recorded "Under any Moon" with The Jets.

In 1992 Medeiros recorded a duet with Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame) titled "Standing Alone" and shot a video.

Medeiros wrote "Break These Walls" for the New Zealand singer, Sam Verlinden.

Today, Medeiros is the host and performs at the Hale Koa Hotel's luau in Waikiki, and is a school teacher. He has taught music at St. Joseph's School in Waipahu, and 5th grade at Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei. Currently he works at Maryknoll School in Honolulu teaching A.P U.S. History, Freshman Seminar, American History, Advanced American History, World History I and World History

1. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU


[Songwriters: Goffin, Gerry; Masser, Michael;]

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long, with you I see forever
Oh, so clearly, I might have been in love before

But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by know how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but
Nothing's gonna change my love for you


If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me

You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by know how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but
Nothing's gonna change my love for you

2. LONG AND LASTING LOVE [ ONCE IN A LIFE TIME]

A long and lasting love
Not many people find it
But those who do their whole life through
Put their heart and soul behind it
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Chorus:
We got a once in a lifetime
All the dreams we've waited for
Are just beginning to come true
It happens once in a life time

When you find that special girl
Who knows the meaning of love like you
A long and lasting love
We share for many reasons
A special bond
That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
My long and lasting love

3. SOME DAY LOVE

Someday, right away
Hey you out there
I'd know you anywhere
Your smile can't hide the pain
Your eyes give you away
Seems love has gone again
It happens now and then
Suddenly the one you need
No longer wants you
But if you can find the heart to let it go
CHORUS
Someday love (will come back to you)
Someday love (will come shining through)
Someday love will be the reason
You've got to keep believin', someday love
Maybe it's much too soon
To try to comfort you

The words won't set you free
When love's a memory
Oh but don't forget
Your life's not over yet
Even the darkest night
Can't last forever
And just keep in mind the sun will shine again
Someday love (will come back to you)
Someday love (will come shining through)
Someday love will be the freedom
That will always keep you dreamin'
CHORUS
Someday love, someday's love
Someday love will be the freedom
That will always keep you dreamin'
(repeat til fade)

4. FALLING

I was alone and I've been thinkin'
How love has taken its toll on me
I opened my heart and was cheated again
Then you walked in
Last thing I needed was to fall for another
But I got this feelin' you can make me forget
One night can leave you broken hearted
Too late now I've already started
CHORUS
Fallin'
And deeper I go the more I'm believing
But my heart needs to know
I'm fallin'
And maybe this time I can hold on to love

'Cause I want it enough can't you see that
I'm fallin'
Forever and always that's the promise she made
Only words that will soon fade away
And I believed her but never again
That's what I said
Last thing I needed was to fall for another
But I got this feelin' you can make me forget
One night can leave you broken hearted
Too late now I've already started

5. LONELY WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE

(David Foster, Jermaine Jackson, Tom Keane & K. Wakefield)
Why do I seem to be caught up inside a dream
All my life, it's always been my shadow and me
Over my shoulder there's always a voice somewhere
Saying I never should try to set my heart free
I wish that love would come and take me in her arms
Show me what I've never known.
Where I could hold someone words like right and wrong
Just fade away like yesterday
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, won't even let me fall in love
Oooooh everywhere I go always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love
I try and say I love you but the words won't come through

In my eyes, see all the tears and sad memories
Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling too far behind
I guess that lonely needs company
Around each bend of road
I'm thinking that in time there will be that rainbow's end
But when I follow those self illusions
I find that it's only lonely and me again
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, won't even let me fall in love
Oooooh everywhere I go always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love
Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
And take me home
Lonely...

6. ME - YOU = BLUE

With all my heart, I pledge my love forever
You've got my word, you and I will always be together
There maybe times, we have a disagreement
This love's too strong, to ever let it come between us

I would, I would keep this love alive Oh baby
I would, I would be cause otherwise

Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue
I can't stand the thought I've lost so far
Like so many hearts being in the dark
It'll never be me minus u

Each day I learn, a little more about you
Then I know for sure, that I'd never wanna be without you
With all the stage of truth of this relation
Me without your love is such a sad equation baby
I would, I would keep this love alive Oh baby
I would, I would be cause otherwise

Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue
I can't stand the thought I've lost so far
Like so many hearts being in the dark
It'll never be'ˆ¦

What we got can't get much better
I would never change a thing
Baby we're so good together
Then I'll never, never ever want it to be me

Me minus u equals blue
Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue
I can't stand the thought I've lost so far
I want you in my life
I can't be without your love

Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue
I can't stand the thought I've lost so far
I need you here with me

7. ALL I AM MISSING IS YOU

[Feat Ray Parker, Jr.]

Oh!...

I got these friends
They walk around so considered
Bragging to the end, like a car and clothes is all that's needed
What about the simple part
Give out of the heart?
Without love, it's never gonna be enough
I got the toys, I got the car, I got the friends, but
Hanging with the boys
Is not the kind of time I want to spend, but
I know there's something more
Something I've been waiting for
I knew it was true
The moment I saw you

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

Doing all I can
But every since I met you baby
I'm a travelin man
If only else real love can save me
I'm reaching out to you
Baby what else can I do
But it's gonna be right
To get you into my life
In this crazy world
I've been searching for the answer
The I saw you girl,
I found out what my hearts been after
Could have been another day
But if I looked the other way
Then I couldn't have known
What I've been missing all along

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

With all that I know
Still this-- Fill me with you
Girl, you know, I got it going on
But all I'm missing is you
You baby, oh yeah, all I'm missing is a-you!

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

I need your lovin -- give me that love
Gimme that lovin

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

Wish you in my head
Wish you in my bed, babe
Wish you in my head
Wish you in my bed, babe

8. LOST FOR WORDS

know it's been a while since i looked in your eyes
and I told you how much you mean to me
and I know it's been a while since i saw you
smiling so sweetly the way it used to be

and if there were times you felt that I didn't care
I want you to know I always needed you there

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words

You were always there giving your love and affection
through the sorrow and the pain
Every moment I'm with you gives me reason
to make it through another day

I never meant to hold these feelings inside
I only knew I need you here in my life

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words

What can I do baby
There's a wall of silence
I've got to break it through
'Cause I couldn't stand it if you walk away
Isn't that love I could not see

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words...

Oh, no....
I've got to break it through...

9. SHE AIN'T WORTH IT

Better make tracks fast on the double
The girl’s jazzy, but she’s nothin' but trouble - Oh!

You take her where she wants to go
and every day you let her know
she’s the one who’s always on your mind
But she just cops an attitude
Leads you on, then leaves you blue
Can’t you see she’s really just a waste of time?

One day she’ll treat you nice
Then she turn as cold as ice
But you think your love will win her
in the end, think again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

She gets you hot, then leaves you cold
Keeps you waiting on the phone
‘cause she knows you’ll always give her one more try
You’re not the only boy in town
and she loves playin' to the crowd
But tell me, do you really like standin' in line?

You give her everything you have
and all she does is make you sad
What she really wants to do
is tell her friends she did it again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

I’d like to say she used to be my girl
but that would be a lie (that would be a lie)
‘Cause there’s no one in this whole wide world
that could keep her satisfied
I know, ‘cause I tried

Jump in
One thing I hate is when a girl plays fake
and tries to make me late for another date
‘Cause I’ve tried to make you mine for the last time
so take this here as a dis and a goodbye
She ain’t worth it, even though she’s on the high tip
She better get a grip, and get a grip quick
Fast in a hurry, ‘cause I won’t buckle
The girl’s jazzy, but she’s nothin' but trouble

Give her everything you have
and all she does is make you sad
What she really wants to do
is tell her friends she did it again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

[repeat chorus to fade]

10. WATCHING OVER YOU

Now that you´re far away
I can see everything so clear
Now that you´re really gone
I can feel you like you´re standing here

And if I had another chance to say goodbye
I would just say thank you for the times we spent
And not to cry, ´cause I´m

Still watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never really be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me
How can we lose our way
If we just let ourselves be led
And maybe it hurts today
But tomorrow we´ll come out ahead
I don´t want to lose you so I´ll let you go
And if it ends up we are meant to met again
We´ll let each other know
¥Cause I´m...

Still watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never really be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me

Instrumental break

I don´t want to lose you so I´ll let you go
And if it ends up we are meant to meet again
We´ll let each other know

I´m watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me

11. LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A REASON

Sometimes I think of me and you
And every now and then I think we'll never make it through
We go through some crazy times
And there are times I wonder if I'll keep loving you
But I always do

Seems that love always finds a reason
To keep me here believin'
When I feel our love is slipping away
Seems that love always finds a reason
To make me stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
Seems that I can just look at you
And I find the reason in your eyes

(Elsa)

I know sometimes you wish that you were free
I know sometimes you wonder what you're doing here with me
But something keeps you by my side
Through everything, through all the times we disagree
You keep loving me

Seems that love always a reason
To keep me here believin'
When we feel our love is slipping away
And it seems that love always a reason

To make me stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
And you know when you look at me
You'll find the reason in my eyes

whoa-oo-ooh-ooo,oh

(Together)

Love always finds a reason
To keep us here believin'
When we feel our love is slipping away
Aren't you glad that
Love always finds a reason
To make us stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives -- oh ...

Love always finds a reason
To keep me here believin'
When I feel our love is slipping away
And it seems that love always finds a reason
To make us stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
And you know when you look at me
You'll find the reason in my eyes

I find the reason
I find the reason, hoh ...
I found the reason in your eyes

12. IF I KNEW

Said it was over
And im slowly dealin'
But deep inside there's this awful pain I'm feeling
I wonder when it will end
When can love start again

Told myself that you probably need some time and
Maybe then you would come to change your mind but
Now i know i was wrong
Guess i gotta be strong.. i gotta move on

Though in time things will heal in my heart
But right now im just falling apart yeah

CHORUS
If i knew that you still love me
I could.. undo the pain i caused and i would
Take it all away so you'd stay
But its too late for that
Coz your not coming back ...no more ohhhhhh

So much i'll never have the chance to say
Though im still hopin that you come back one day but
Dont know why i pretend
When i know in my heart i wont see you again

Though in time i will have to let go
Right now i just need you to know yeah yeah

If i knew that you still love me
I could.. undo the pain i caused and i would
Take it all away
So you'd stay but its too late for that
Coz ur not coming back (no more)

Don't wanna have to close the door
And i dont want another view no more
Is there nothing that i can do to change the way you
Feel
Coz if i knew (if i knew)
Yeah yeah
Yeah.. coz baby if i knew...

If i knew that you still love me
Then i could.. undo the pain i caused
And i would take it all away so you'd stay
But its too late for that
Coz you're not coming back (not coming back)
(no more)

REPEAT CHORUS

13. THE WINGS OF MY HEART


I remember the day
You went out of your way
Just to see me, I do
I still feel butterflies
When I look in your eyes
That old magic in you still there
Still the same
Like the sun and the rain
Nothing's changed
Our love remains

You're my anchor and my sail in the wind
I need you here forever
So hold on to the wings of my heart
We can fly together
Love will take us beyond the clouds
If you hold on
To the wings of my heart

When I wake up you're there
Gentle words in my ear
You whisper softly to me
After all these years
Smiles and some tears
You're still holding on so strong
So deep is your mind
One of a kind
With a touch of divine
Soaring to time

You're my anchor and my sail in the wind
I need you here forever
So hold on to the wings of my heart
We can fly together
Love will take us beyond the clouds
Just hold on
To the wings of my heart

14. HEART DON'T CHANGE MY MIND


We said we'd try again
But tryin's not enough
Acting like strangers ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work
It's time to stop pretending
Time to turn the page
All stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Livin' my life in yesterday
I'm leavin' I'm leavin' and I'm beggin' you

(chorus)
Heart don't change my mind
Oh heart be strong this time
And try to help me tell her goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh heart it's hard for you I know
Let me let her go

Don't let me think about
How good it was before
I know you'll try anything
to keep me from that door
It's hard to leave her when
You've loved her for so long
Now how can I walk away
If you're still holdin' on now

I finnally found the strenght
Look at me I can finnally say it's over, it's over
So I'm beggin' you

(chorus)

It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, it's over

(chorus)

15. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANY MORE


Why do I feel so cold inside?
Why does the truth seem like a lie?
Just when I started to believe in you

You must have been just a little confused
You must have thought you have nothing you can lose
Because, baby, you once said
When I walked away from you

(bridge)
You cannot change my mind
Well at least you could have tried
But it doesn't matter anymore

(chorus)
Who was right, who was wrong?
It doesn't matter anymore
Cause we're not together
Now there is one more thing
That I want to say to you
It doesn't matter anymore anyway

What would you do now with all your time?
How will you fill this space I've left behind?
Is there another heart that you can find?

It seemed I've learned my lesson
I should have never tried to test your love
As well as I realized it was never strong enough

You said we were never meant to be
But we could afford the meaning
But it doesn't matter anymore

(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)

Just a thing that I would have given my life to you
But ir doesn't matter anymore
Now there are still so many things
That I want to say to you
But it doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore, anymore
