George Benson - The Very Best Of George Benson [compilation] (2003) by George Benson (보컬) on maniadb.com

Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive.
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night. Gimme the night.So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night. Gimme the night.And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So gimme the night. Gimme the night...

You've got the love
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love

I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love

I remember
When you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
Away
When all I need's a taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
All they get is lonely

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Oh girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
We're gonna take it
Back where we belong

Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl, I love the woman
Turn your love around

Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
fade out

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lotMoney's tight, he's workin' every night
It ain't easy to keep the flame alive
And when he finally comes home to ya
He's just too tired to do the things you want toYou can't help but wonder to yourself
How would it be with someone else
Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
Love is forever, stay together[Stay together] When you got something real
[Love forever] That you may never feel againNever give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lotNow you're the man, you've got to understand
She don't mean to make a scene
Like you, she feels all the weight you're under
And when she breaks, is it any wonderI know sometimes it crosses your mind
To get on out and stay hard to find
Before you try, you'd better look in her eyes
Love is forever, stay together[Stay together] You've got something real
[Love forever] That you may never feel again
[You've got a lot][Stay together]
[Love forever]
You've got something real
That you may never feel againNever give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Oh, oh]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lotDon't give up your good thing
Don't give it, oh, don't, oh, oh
Don't give up your good thing
Please don't, oh, don't
Don't live it up, don't give it upNever give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Oh, oh]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lotNever give up on a good thing [Oh, he's all you need]
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you've got a lotNever give up on a good thing [Oh, he's all you need]
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, oh]
Never give up on a good thing

and our dreams seemed a million miles away

that beat as one forever on
with love times love to keep us satisfied everynightso my lady whisper the words i love to hear
cuddle up and i'll make you feel all right
cause i need you baby to carry me on through all the years
so come on baby close the door and dim the lightsand there ain't no one in this world tonight
can change my point of view
so come on girl and hold me tight
the way you always do with love times me and you

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

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

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of allI believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to beAnd if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come trueOh baby
When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin's start to showIn a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
When I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my mightStrollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When you talk to me , when you're touching me
Making my dreams come trueStrollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When I talk to you , when I'm touching you
Making my dreams come true

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masqueradeBoth afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we playThoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason that we carry on this way
We're lost in a masqueradeWe could just start over but it's oh so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade

I THINK I FINALLY KNOW YOU
I CAN SEE BEYOND YOUR SMILE
I THINK THAT I CAN SHOW YOU
THAT WHAT WE HAVE IS STILL WORTHWHILE
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE'S JUST LIKE THE THREAD
THAT KEEPS UNRAVELLING BUT THEN
IT TIES US BACK TOGETHER IN THE END()IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE MY DREAM'S REFLECTIONS
IN YOUR EYES, FOUND THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS
IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE THE REASONS WHY OUR LOVE'S ALIVE
IN YOUR EYES, WE'RE DRIFTING SAFELY BACK TO SHORE
AND I THINK I'VE FINALLY LEARNED TO LOVE YOU MOREYOU WARNED ME THAT LIFE CHANGES
THAT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHETHER TIME WOULD MAKE US STRANGERS
OR WHETHER TIME WOULD MAKE US GROW
EVEN THOUGH THE WINDS OF TIME WILL CHANGE
IN A WORLD WHERE NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
THROUGH IT ALL OUR LOVE WILL STILL REMAIN()
IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE THE REASONS WHY OUR LOVE'S ALIVE
IN YOUR EYES, WE'RE DRIFTING SAFELY BACK TO SHORE
AND I THINK I'VE FINALLY LEARNED TO LOVE YOU MORE

There I go, there I go, there I go
There I go

Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave

You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave

Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you

Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?

That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?

Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet

Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in
And you can blow now if you want to

We're through.

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

I have never been so much
In love, in love before
What a difference
How true love made in my life
So nice and so rightLovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How it feels when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby what we have is much more than they see
Oh baby, whoa yeahI'm in love, I'm in love with you girlI say love I never knew that a touch

How I feel when you love me

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhereThey say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime?
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoesThey say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
