The Temptations - I Wish It Would Rain / In a Mellow (1967) by The Temptations (보컬) on maniadb.com

All my hopes and dreams are forgotten now
All the apples in my barrel are rotten now
Standing on a mountain of misery
Loneliness is my only company
Oh, when are gonna come cindy
When will you be homeward bound
I'm in need of you and the love of you Cindy

I thought we were birds of a feather now
And we would always be together now
And where ever i would go you would follow me
A life of love with you was my destiny
Oh, when you gonna come come home cindy
When will you be homeward bound
there's an empty space
since you left this place


Cindy, my cindy
Come back cindy comeback
Cindy you have made a great mistake
But mistakes were sometimes made to save
Cindy love is made of give and take
Let a move be made for love's sake
Come on home Cant you see
I was made for you,
you were made for me!

People tell me I'm not the same now
I only half respond to my name now
But no one knows it better than me myself baby
Without your love I can never be myself
Ohhhhhh, when you gonna come home cindyCindy, my cindy

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,

Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

please return your love to me girl/ forgive me for the wrong i've done/ and oh baby

i cry myself to sleep at night
for fear of another holdin you tight and oh baby/ oh baby
i miss you more with each passin day/
every night on my knees i pray oh

please return your love to me girl/
forgive me for the wrong i've done/
without your love im just no good/
i am just a lonely one

im sorry for the wrong i've done
now i know how it feels to lose that special someone
and oh baby/ i need you more than words can say/ without your love i can pass another day

chorus

i want you to know as long as there's/ a heaven above/
you'll be my one and only love/
and oh baby/ i cant control this growin' need
girl come and see about me

chorus

Once a wiseman said to me. This advice I give you free. A woman is made of fantasy so fan the flame. Always keep her hopes up high. Make her laugh don't make her cry and don't let her love die, so fan the flame.

A woman needs love and affection and little things mean alot (little things mean alot). And when she has an emotional baby. That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot.

Make her feel she ten feet tall, even though she short and small. so fan the falme. Her love is your reality let her go and you will see just how lonely life can be. So fan the falme.

A woman needs love and praising so give her them each day. Tell her you love her, its added protection. That's why you got to fan the falme to keep it burning hot.

Once a wiseman said to me. This advice I give you free. A woman is made of fantsy so fan the flame.

Alright...hmm...alright...hooo

A rose is a beautiful flower.
To me the prettiest in the world.
And that goes double, double for a girl cause she's like no other flower in the world.
Remember, they're not perfect you see. So you got to take the bitter with the sweet.
And remember fellas: he who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears. (yeah, yeah, yeah).
Talking about the goood and the bad in a woman.

A rose remains so pretty if you treat it with loving care (yeah yeah yeah)
And that goes double double for a girl
Treat her right and her love she'll truly share
But you've got to take the bitter with the sweet and return the lowly moments of despair.
And remember fellas he who picks a rose must accept the thorns that's there...yeah yeah yeah yeah

Talking 'bout the good and bad in a woman...

I tell ya, tell ya...that a rose remains the same if you handle it with care (yeah yeah yeah)
And now that goes double double for a girl;
Treat her right and she'll stand besides you anywhere
I know sometimes they get carried away, say some things they don't mean to say.
Just remember fellas: he who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears...yeah

Talking bout the good and bad in a woman
(He who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears)

Gotta remember when you choose your lover
(He who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears)

The day you take one, you've got to take the other
(He who picks a rose must accept the thorns it bears)

I'm sending you red roses and violets.
(Violets of...) blue, girl.
The roses mean I love you.
The violets mean I'll always be true, girl. (Be true, girl)

Because I really love you.
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do.
Inspite of the way you acting, that you love me too.
Come on and say it dear.

Hmm, you try, to keep me away, girl.
Just to prove you don't really care.
But I believe you feel the same way I do.
And this torture just ain't fair. (No, this torture just ain't fair)

I'm sending you a bracelet.
In grave in gold that, "I love you" girl. (Love you, girl)
And I'll send my heart if I could, to prove I'll always be true, girl.

Because I really love you.
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do.
Inspite of the way you acting, that you love me too.
Come on and say it dear.
Oh, say it dear.

[Instrumental]

I hope you'd understand.
That the red roses and violets of blue, girl, (Hope you'd understand)
And that bright shining bracelet, help me, baby, say 'I love you'. (I love you. Love you)

And I really love you.
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do. (Yes, I do)
I believe that you love me.
So baby, come on and say it.

A-Say it. (I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)
I truly, truly believe. (I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)
(I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)

NO MAN CAN LOVE HER LIKE I DO!

Ah, he can buy her diamonds, he can buy her pearls,
He can send her on a trip, all around this world.
He can buy her anything her little heart desires
But he don't know how to set that little girl's soul on fire

Even though he drives a big fine Cadillac car,
And he keeps her dressed up (ah!) like a movie star.
Anything she asks of him, his money can buy
But when it comes down to love, she gives me a try!

No man can love her like I doa€|

Tell the truth, no man can love her like I do,
No man can love her like I doa€|
Even though I don't have one thin dime,
Everytime I call her, you know she's right on time.

No man can love her like I doa€|

Ain't no man in this land who can love her like I do!
No man can love her like I do!

Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you

He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wine
I will return
I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you!

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me.
Someone I needed so long.

For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me.
Some how I know I'll be strong.

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of.
Long before I knew.
Aww, someone like you
Would make my dream come true.

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.

For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it.
Long as I know
I have love I can make it.

For once I can feel
That somebody heard my plea.
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me.

(For once in my life)
(In my life)

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

As I stand alone on this moonful night.
For the first time I feel alone in life.
As I watched the moon kissed the star-lit skies.
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine.

For so long, I've been afraid to love.
But right now I feel a need for love.
And you have the love, love I need. (Right now)
Aw, to comfort me.

Ooo, and I'm ready for love. (Ready for love)
I'm truly ready for love. (Ready for love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love. (Sweet, sweet love)
Ooo, and I'm ready for love.

I tried to shield my heart from love tender touch.
'Cause to lose a love, aw, would hurt so much.
But as I softly walked in my solitude.
I search my heart and I found there's a need for you.

And for the first time I feel alone.
'Cause I need a love, aw, to call my own.
And only you, have the love, the love I need.
Aw, to comfort me.

Ooo, and I'm ready for love. (Ready for love)
I'm truly ready for love. (Ready for love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love. (Sweet, sweet love)
Aw, and I'm ready for love.

I ready (right now.)

And for the first time I feel alive.
Have the tender love, deep down inside.
And just as soon as I see a smiling face,
I rush into your warm embrace.

Right now, I'm ready for love.
I'm truly ready for love.
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love.
Right now, I'm ready for love.
Comfort me, baby. (?)
Aw, I'm ready for love.
Wonderful sweet, sweet love.
Aw, I'm ready for love

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain so yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh

[brief instrumental interlude]

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow

Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow-follow, oh-oh Follow, oh-oh

Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
So I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me

I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me
But maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter
'Cause with you I could learn to
With you on a new day

But who can I turn to
If you turn away
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away

That's life, that's what people say.
You're riding' high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top in June.

That's life, funny as it seems.
Some people get their kicks,
Steppin' on dreams;
But I don't let it get me down,
'Cause this ol' word keeps getting around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won't buy it.

If I didn't think it was worth a try,
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.

With these hands, I will cling to you
I'm yours forever and a day.
With these hands, I will bring to you
A tender love as warm as May.

With this heart I will sing to you
Long after stars have lost their glow
And with these hands, I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea

I'll turn the tide for you
And I'll never
No, I'll never let you go

To dream
the impossible dream
To fight
the unbeatable foe

불가능한 꿈을
갖는 것,
패배시킬수 없는 적과
싸우기 위해서...

To bear with
unbearable sorrow
to run where the brave
dare not go

참을수 없는 슬픔을
견뎌내는 것,
용사들도 감히 갈 수 없는 곳으로
전진하기 위해서...


To right
the unrightable wrong
To love pure
and chaste from afar

잘못을 바로잡는 것,
저멀리 순수와
순결함을 지켜내기 위해서...

To try when your arms
are too weary
To reach
the unreachable star

당신 두 팔이
움직일 수 없을 만큼 지쳤을 때도 포기하지 않는 것,
하늘의 별을 따려는 것 같이
무모해 보이고 불가능해 보이는
목표를 이루기 위해서 ...

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

제 바램은 비록 가망이 없고,
멀어보인다 하더라도..
도저히 이룰 수 없을 것 같은
목표를 따르는 거예요.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to
march into hell
For that heavenly cause


의심하거나 머뭇거림없이
정의를 위해 싸우는 것,
저 신성한 명분을 위해서라면,
지옥과 같은 곳일지라도
기꺼이 나아가는 것,

And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest

전 알고 있습니다.
이렇게 영광스러운 요구에
제가 진실할 수만 있다면,

That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

제가 죽음에 가까이 이르렀을 때에
제 마음은 평화롭고도
침착해 질 수 있을 것을..

And the world will be
better for this
That one man, scorned
and covered with scars,

세상은 이보다
나아질겁니다.
경멸과 상처로 범벅된 ,
저 한 인간이..


Still strove with his last
ounce of courage
To reach, to reach the unreachable the unreachable star~

마지막 남은 힘을 다하고도
여전히 투쟁하여 ,
하늘의 별을 따려는 것처럼
불가능한 일을
이루어 내기 위해서..
