from Aaron Neville - ...To Make Me Who I Am (1997)
(Aaron Neville, Gordon Chambers, Robbie Nevil, Bradley Spalter)
Looking in your eyes Is like looking through a window seeing clear skies of days gone by Of happiness, imaginning sweet visions of your loveliness Oh and your tenderness Makes me want to cry, for the love that we've shared It makes me feel alive to know that you care Hold you through the night, let me lie in your arms Tonight I want to love you girl til the morning comes and look into your eyes Your sweet and smiling eyes Take me to paradise It makes me want to cry tears of joy Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes When I see your face, oh and you hold me in your warm embrace I feel so safe Your amazing grace calms me through the fire Or the rainy days and the clouds it brings Makes me want to cry, for the love that we've shared It makes me feel alive to know that you care Hold you through the night let me lie in your arms Tonight I want to love you girl 'til the morning comes And look into your eyes Your sweet and smiling eyes, hold me darling Take me to paradise Your an angel, it makes me want to cry Tears of joy whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes Could you be an angel from up above, from up above So beautiful, beautiful, wonderful Sent down from heaven for me to love Oh I love you girl Your sweet smiling eyes, Your sweet and smiling eyes Take me to paradise It makes me want to cry Tears of joy whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes, Sweet and smiling eyes Your sweet and smiling eyes, your sweet and smiling eyes Sweet and smiling eyes, take me to paradise, paradise It makes me want to cry, tears of joy Whenever I see your sweet and smiling eyes |

You think you're so smart Yes, you think you know it all But the game you're trying to play Can be played another way And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me I brought you to the city Now you tell me, there's no room for pity My friends tried to tell me so I told them they didn't know That lights have gone to your head You never never had it so good 'till you met, until you met me, oh until you met me No you never, you never, you never had it so good |

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
And many times her eyes fought back the tears And when her youthful world was about to fall in Each time her slender shoulders wore the weight of all her fears And a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence in her ears Let her cry for she's a lady Let her dream for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild And if by chance I should hold her Let me hold her for a time But if allowed just one possession I would pick her from the garden to be mine Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken And sleep's the only freedom that she knows And when you look into her eyes you won't believe the way she's always paying for a debt she never owed And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear and so she goes Let her cry for she's a lady Let her dream for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild Let her cry for she's a lady Let her dream for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild |

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine. And many times her eyes fought back the tears. And when her youthful world was about to fall in Each time her slender shoulders, Bore the weight of all her fears. And the sorrow no one hears, Still rings in midnight silence In her ears... Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady) Let her dream, for she's a child (child) Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild And if by chance that i should hold her, (and if by chance that i should hold her) Let me hold her for a time (let me hold her for a time) And if allowed but one possession, I will pick her from the garden to be mine. ( i will pick her from the garden to be mine) Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken And sleeps the only freedom that she knows And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe The way she's always payin, For a debt she never owes And the silent wind still blows, that only she can hear, And so she goes Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady) Let her dream, for she's a child (child) Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild Let her cry, for she's a lady (she's a lady) Let her dream, for she's a child (child) Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild She's a flower...Growing wild....... |

Why should I fall in love
Turn my world upside down One broken heart is quite enough Why should I fall in love Why should I hold your hand Feel my hopes start to rise It's a long way down and I can't fly Why should I fall in love Why should I hold you Why should I dream I know myself, I'll just take it to extremes I want to keep you my whole life through If you've got no one, least you've got no one to lose Why should I fall in love Wake up tomorrow with a smile I want the kind that lasts awhile Why should I fall in love Tell me baby Why should I hold you Why should I dream I know myself, I'll just take it to extremes I wanna keep you my whole life through But if you've got no one, least you've got no one to lose Why should I fall in love Turn my life inside out One broken heart is quite enough Why should I fall in love This old heart has had it rough Why should I fall in love |

looks like its going to be a beautiful day but where is my baby? Oh where is my baby I breathe in a breath of fresh air oh but again I say where is my baby Everything seems so right Except for most important thing in my life (Chorus) But where is my baby Where can she be Won't somebody please Send my baby back to me Boss told me in three days I'd be up for a raise Oh but where is my baby Oh where is my baby Going to look for a new car Like that raven I saw But where is my baby What went wrong I couldn't say I tried to please her In every way (Chorus) Oh but where is my baby Where can she be Won't somebody please Send my baby back to me A year has come and gone Since I've been all alone Lord and I still oh I still haven't seen my baby I still hope and pray That she'll return someday But where is my baby I bought a house i thought she would like In case she'd ever decide to be my wife And then the word came You know by telephone Said you don't want to see you baby She's better off gone Said while in a travel A curiosity Led her into the wrong hands Into a land of fantasy Now she hangs out Where those folks do With the problems she'll never shake Said your baby's through No No, no I don't want to hear it |

When this crazy life of ours is slow And I guess that's why fools like us rush in Where wise men never never go In time we may find out why These walls we build seem so high But I've gotta believe that we can break through And I gotta believe this love is good for me and you And all we have to do to make it last, oh yeah Is try a little harder, try a little harder All we have to do to make it groove is try a little harder, try a little harder You're the wildfire in my life Always burning out of my control Sometimes you cut me like a knife Deep into my heart Way down to my soul But somehow we survive And we get another chance to make it right But I gotta believe that we know which path to choose And I gotta believe that somehow we will see it through All we have to do to make it last Is try a little harder, try a little harder All we have to do to make it groove Is try a little harder, try a little harder Each precious moment that we share Is locked up in my heart forever more I just need to know that you really care When you touch my hand Swear I'm gonna fall apart All we have to do to make it last Is try a little harder, try a little harder All we have to do to make it groove Is try a little harder, try a little harder All we have to do to make it last Is try a little harder, try a little harder |

from Aaron Neville - ...To Make Me Who I Am (1997)
(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter)
I've walked through this world sometimes without a friend My life has been up and down, been close to an end But I've been through the mill And I've paid my dues Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes But I've been through the fire And I've walked in the rain I've felt the joy and endured the pain Once I was a schemer But I always was a dreamer But it took me who I was and where I've been To make me who I am I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell I've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to god Some days I was blessed, some nights I was damned But I always tried to lend a helping hand Once I was a deceiver Not I am a believer But it took me who I was and where I've been To make me who I am Oh, I've seen the little children, all strung out on dope No one to care about them, living without hope But I've been lucky that I always had a song I'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong. Once my life was wretched But why should I regret it 'cause, it took me who I was, and where I've been To make me who I am Speech: This is dedicated to my friends in jail For my brother jake who had to ride the rail For my friend roonie and melvin, who were so dear They were so misunderstood But I wish they were still here To hear this song I sing from my heart They're forever in my soul, even though we had to part Once I was a deceiver Not I am a believer But it took me who I was and where I've been To make me who I am God said I forgive you Wipe away the scars Cause I know it took who you were And where you came from To make you who you are Cause I know it took who you were And where you came from To make you what you are |

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fairground painted swing These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me, I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings, but who's to answer How the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you How strange, how sweet, to find you still These things are dear to me, they seem to bring you near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations, Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you |

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you the very thought of you, my love I'm living in a kind of daydream and I'm happy as a king And foolish as it may seem to me that's everything The mere idea of you, the mere idea of you The longing here for you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love The mere idea of you, the longing here for you It's just the thought of you the very thought of you, my love |

The shadow of your smile When you are gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes, my love, and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile Your lovely smile Now when I remember spring All the joy that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile Oh, the shadow of your smile |

(ewan maccoll) The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless sky, my love, And the first time ever I kissed your mouth, I felt the earth move in my hand, Like a trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love, And the first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy it would fill the earth And would last til the end of time, my love, It would last til the end of time The first time ever I saw, saw your face Your face, your face, your face, your face |

Cards on the table and they facin' down
We all got a hand to play, ain't no backin' down Aces up your sleeve, they ain't gonna do you no good But the joker's still in play and it just might come your way Listen to me, don't you hear what I say' Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say? Listen to me, don't you hear what I say' We're lookin' at the Judgment Day I was holdin' a 10 of diamonds but I wanted a ace People all around the world goin' through changes Look me straight in my face Said I just called to show you, some people never satisfied Wanna trade hands with me little brother See if you can stay alive? Listen to me, don't you hear what I say' Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say? Listen to me, don't you hear what I say' We're lookin' at the judgment day [Incomprehensible] brothers and sisters Can they mess 'em around Pullin' the wool over their eyes But the Dealer, we can't fool 'coz He put the cards into play And He know what me and you are holdin' all the time Listen to me, don't you hear what I say' Can't you hear what I say, can't you hear what I say? Listen to me, don't you hear what I say 'Coz we're lookin' at the Judgment Day comin' down |

Oh amelia, oh amelia A southern woman, a southern woman Never had a chance to say goodbye I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery She was there on barron street, down in new orleans So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane She was only seventeen and amelia was her name Oh when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side And when I looked into her eye, amelia kept me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh I got pulled into her spell I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair Oh amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime I close my eyes Sweet amelia, sweet amelia Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye Never heard her say goodbye I remember making love underneath the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand I was weak as a little lamb, but I became a man Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake poncetrain She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair Oh amelia, oh amelia A southern woman, a southern woman I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes Sweet amelia, sweet amelia Where did you run to, where'd you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye Never want to say goodbye Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender And in my heart she'll always shine so bright Sweet amelia, if I could just see her one more time Oh amelia, my southern woman A southern woman, I can still feel you, oh I can feel you, everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes Sweet amelia, sweet amelia Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye) Oh amelia, oh amelia A southern woman, a southern woman I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes Sweet amelia, sweet amelia Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye Oh amelia, a southern woman, A southern woman I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart Sweet amelia, sweet amelia, Where did you run to Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye |

from The Neville Brothers - Brother'S Keeper (1998)
Young man on his way home from the market,
Just enjoying a beautiful afternoon Gets kinda dark, sun just set There's these other young men standing On the corner, nothing to do, just hangin' around They're passing out their weapons to each other: brass knuckles - pipes - chains - half a bricks - broken bottles - switchblades Young man lands in jail for some crime he did not commit 352 years hard labor in Angola prison - 352 years at hard labor Sleepless nights between sugar cane and cotton It's where he learns the ropes and pays with his soul For some crime he did not commit We think we're safe at home with our bumper stickers saying - Just say no - We give up a few freedoms here and there in the name of a - Squeaky clean America - Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical Screaming for blood and justice Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical Screaming for blood and justice They show us the faces of hatred over and over - a new one every week Could be Manuel Noriega Could be the Ayatollah Any old scapegoat 'll do The young man will be our sacrificial lamb Pro choice - no choice We're sending our sons and daughters to their slaughter Pro choice - no choice Slogans mean nothing to a young man facing 352 years hard labor in Angola To a young man facing 352 years hard labor in Angola For a crime he did not commit It's freedom of speech - as long as you don't say too much You can't stop running water You can't kill the fire that burns inside Don't deny our flesh and blood And don't forsake our sons and daughters You can't stop running water You can't kill the fire that burns inside Don't deny our flesh and blood And don't forsake our sons and daughters It's freedom of speech - as long as you don't say too much I think we're all runnin' thinkin' that we can hide I think we're runnin' tryin' to get away But sooner or later we gonna realize We gonna meet up with the truth face to face |

from Aaron Neville - The Grand Tour (1993)
There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story, long ago She saw the queen of heaven once And kept the vision in her soul No one believed what she had seen No one believed what she heard But there were sorrows to be healed And mercy, mercy in this world So many hearts I find Broken like yours and mine Torn by what we've done and can't undo I just want to hold you Won't you let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do We've been around we fall, we fly We mostly fall, we mostly run And every no and then, we try To mend the damage that we've done Tonight, tonight I cannot rest I've got this joy inside breast To think that I did not forget That child, that song of Bernadette So many hearts I find Broken like yours and mine Torn by what we've done and can't undo I just want to hold you Come on let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do I just want to hold you Won't you let me hold you? Like Bernadette would do |

from Aaron Neville - The Tattooed Heart (1995)
We held each other 'til the moon was high
We waved that sleepy little town good bye And driving off together we crossed our hearts Living for the promise that love would keep us honest I said I'd be yours if you'd be mine We were crazy baby And every day the sun was sure to shine But it tried and tried Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change And some days are made for rain We fixed a tire and we drove like hell We kissed like fire in a cheap motel I never felt the hunger so bad before Holding you beside me Walls came down inside me And I thought I was yours and you were mine That was crazy baby I was sure the sun would always shine But it tried and tried Sometimes the wind makes a sudden change And some days are made for rain You want to talk about love I'll tell you all about love Nothing but trouble On top of falling One day you're walking on air Next day you look and there's no one there She never cared She never cared Now I've been sleeping with the TV on I get so tired of wondering where you've gone You tore across my heart across like a hurricane I'm counting up the damage Trying hard to manage I thought I was yours and you were mine That was crazy baby And I was sure the sun would always shine But take a look outside Sometimes a wind makes a sudden change Here comes those clouds and they're full of pain Some days are made for rain Some days are made for rain Let it pour outside Some days are made for rain Some days are made for rain |
