Roderick David "Rod" Stewart, CBE (born 10 January 1945)[2] is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in North London, England, and currently residing in Epping. He is of Scottish and English ancestry.
With his distinctive raspy singing voice, Stewart came to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s with The Jeff Beck Group and then Faces. He launched his solo career in 1969 with his debut album An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down (US: The Rod Stewart Album). His work with The Jeff Beck Group and Faces influenced heavy metal genres.[4][5]
With his career in its fifth decade, Stewart has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling artists of all time. In the UK, he has had six consecutive number one albums, and his tally of 62 hit singles include 31 that reached the top 10, six of which gained the number one position. He has had 16 top ten singles in the U.S, with four of these reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists". He was voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the top 100 Greatest Singers of all time,[9] and No. 59 on Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Singers of all time. As a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and was inducted a second time, as a member of Faces, in April 20121. WHEN I NEED YOU
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you baby
It's only a heart beat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out so hold out and do like I do
When I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I close my eyes
I hold out my hand and I've got you darlin'
It's only a heart beat away
Now listen
When I need you darlin'
I hold you, feel ya
Give it to me baby
And I miss ya baby
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And I need you tonight
You know it's only a heart beat away

2. A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM
(feat. Arturo Sandoval)
Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true
Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

3. ATTRACTIVE FEMALE WANTED
I'm tired of buying Penthouse and Oui and Hustler
It's Friday night, I'm all alone, still a bachelor
She said she'd call me when she'd finished work
Haven't heard a word all day
I may not be Warren Beatty or Mohammed Ali
(Attractive female wanted)
I ain't asking a great deal, just a female to move in with me
(Attractive female wanted)
I'll share all my records, toothbrush and car
And color TV, honestly
A single girl for my single bed is my remedy
(Attractive female wanted)
She doesn't have to be a movie star
Cover of a magazine
She can work in a garage all day
In the evening some canteen
I'm tired of blind dates making silly mistakes, it's embarrassing
(Attractive female wanted)
I've had no complaints
But obviously you've guessed, no compliments
(Attractive female wanted)
Won't someone please answer my prayers
Before I'm old and gray?
(Attractive female wanted)
I've been lonely too long, all of my family think I'm gay
She doesn't have to be a movie star
Cover of magazine
She can work in a garage all day
In the evening some canteen
Attractive female wanted
Active female wanted
I may get drunk, stink like a skunk but she'll look after me
(Attractive female wanted)
Put me to bed, ease my aching head and made fuss of me
You know what I gonna do
Think I'll write a letter to Mr. Hugh Hefner confidentially
Dear Sir, a single girl for my single bed is my remedy

[Originally by Van Morrison]
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
[Chorus:]
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
[Chorus]
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul
[Chorus]

5. SWEET SURRENDER
You come to me with open arms
Tryin' to rectify my charms
You say tonight, I'm to be your lover
And by the morning light I'm to discover
Everything that you've held inside of you
What's a man like me supposed to do
Sweet, oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
You tell me that you're lonely and you're sad
And tonight, I'm to be your only man
You wear those things that turn my head
You ruffle my ego but not my bed
Seems like summer when you're close at hand
If I seem eager then you'll understand
Sweet, sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender
Heart is tired and full of doubt
Now you've sucked me in don't spit me out
Lay your head down next to mine
And in each others arms we'll entwine
Look me straight in the eyes and tell me
Between your heart and mind I see
Sweet, oh sweet surrender
Sweet, sweet surrender, surrender

6. TOMORROW IS SUCH A LONG TIME
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the mirror
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps
and can't remember the sound of my own name
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver singin' river
There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky
But none of these, and nothing else
can steal the beauty
that I remember in my true love's eyes
Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'
Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
only if she were lying by me
would I rest in my bed once again

7. TONIGHT I'M YOURS [ DON'T HURT ME]
Yeah - I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been bored for a long
long time.
You need love and so do I
let's turn it all around.
I don't want an everlasting thing
I don't care if I see you again.
So grab your coat and Honey
tell your friends
You won't be home
you won't be home
you won't be home.
Tonight I'm yours -
do anything that you want me to
Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me. Tonight I'm yours -
Do anything cause I want you to
just don't hurt me
Babe.
Yeah - I don't really wanna challenge you
Marry you or remember you.
I just wanna make love to you
For 24 hours or more
or more.
I'm only looking for a fantasy -
An interlude from reality.
Don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me
So rock me Babe
rock me Babe
rock me
rock me.
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
And tomorrow morning we won't cry
You go your way Honey
I go mine.
I'm the one who didn't waste your time -
Remember me this way.
And if you never see my face again
Think of me as a permanent friend -
The one that loved you like a hurricane
Then disappeared
disappeared
disappeared.
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight you're mine
tonight you're mine
Do anything
do anything . . .

8. LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME
This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go.
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely then happy with somebody else.
You might find the night time, the right time for kissing
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else.
There 'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
Have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else, nobody else.
Oh yeah.
(Leave me, baby)
There 'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue.
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
So have it today and give back tomorrow
My love is your love, there's no love for nobody else
There's no love for nobody else.

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you

Who's that knocking on the door
It's got to be a quarter to 4
Is it you again
coming round for more
Well you can love me tonight if you want
But in the morning
Make sure you're gone
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs you're wearing me out
Hot legs you can scream and shout
Hot legs are you still in school
I love you
honey.
Gotta most persuasive tongue
you promise all kinds of fun
But what you don't understand
I'm a working man
Gonna need a shot of vitamin E
By the time you're finished with me
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs you're just an alley cat
Hot legs you're scratching my
Hot legs bring your mother too
I love you
hone
Imagine how my daddy felt
In your jet black suspender belt
17 years old
he's touching 64
You
got legs right up to your neck
You're making me a physical wreck
I'm talking to yer.
Hot legs in your satin shoes
Hot legs are you still in school
Hot legs you're making me a fool
I love you honey.
Hot legs making your mark
Hot legs keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs keep your hands to yourself
I love you
honey.
Hot legs you're well equipped
Hot legs now your pussy's whipped
Hot legs I just love your lips.

11. PASSION
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Lookin' pretty dangerous
Runnin' out of patience
Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are bein' twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated
In the bars and the cafes (Passion)
In the streets and the alleys (Passion)
Lot of pertending (Passion)
Everybody's searching (Passion)
* Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody
To hold on to (yeah)
Passion, passion, passion, passion
New York, Moscow (Passion)
Hong Kong, Tokyo (Passion)
Paris and Bangkok (Passsion)
Lot of people ain't got (Pasion)
Hear it on the radio (Passion)
Read it in the paper (Passsion)
Hear it in the churches (Passion)
See it in the schoolyard (Passion)
(* Repeat 2 times)
Somebody to hold on to
Alone in your bed at night (Passion)
It's a half past midnight (Passion)
As you turn out your side light (Passion)
Ooh something ain't right (Passion)
There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, we need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Can't live without passion
Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion......

This love's worth one more try

Can't I knock down your door and drag myself inside?
I'll light your candles
baby
and maybe I'll light your life
I wanna feel the breathless end that you come to every night.
This ever changing love is pushing me too far
I feel a need to reach you right now
wherever you are.
These empty arms are getting stronger every day

They won't let you get away

13. MY HEART STOOD STILL
I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
All that moment when
My heart stood still
My heart stood still
My heart stood still

14. LET'S FALL IN LOVE
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feelin', it's a feelin' I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin', love is callin', why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance, why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it
Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
