Al Jarreau

I was down to the bone I was lonely only yesterday
Didn't know I was throwin my chances away
Then you came along just long enough to see
Far beyond the fool that I have come to be

*Just to be loved by you
It's like having all my sweetest dreams coming true
You showed me something I've never seen
You made me something I have never been before
Never before

I was always the one who would never give anything away
If all your feeling is cool there's not much to say
When the silence got too loud for me to bear
You brought me love and taught me how to care

*Repeat

Cherish love when you use it
It's never gone they say
When you have it
It's only love, only love

*Repeat

Must have been that something you told me
Whispered just the other day
Said that you'd be leaving tomorrow
But there's got to be some other way
To bring you closer
Can we look closer
Would you stay with me

CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly

I just can't believe that it's over
You looked at me and said goodbye
But deep inside my heart keeps on dreamin' baby
Cause there's still that look of love in your eye
When we were lovers
So close to each other
When our love was free

CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
Yes, I can love you tenderly
So tenderly
Let me love you, tenderly

BRIDGE:
Love is patient
Love is a gift
Don't you know
All this time
I have been searchin
For a love land
Where we can live, together

Live forever
Live together
Live forever
Would you stay with me

CHORUS:
Let me hold you
I can hold you longer
Let me feel you
'Til my heart is stronger
Let me love you
I can love you tenderly

(REPEAT CHORUS 3x)

In my music, lalala
Keeps me happy
Flowin' on
In my music, lalala
You'll be the one thing
That won't ever let me down

You'll be my piece of the pie
That keeps me alive
You'll be the reason why
I give all my props to you
Oh, Ain't nothin' new
You'll be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too, yeah

In my music 2x
In my music, lalala
Inspiration is everywhere
In my music, lalala
Keeps me breathin'
Like a breath of fresh air

You'll be my morning light
That breaks through my night
You are my bloodline
What would I do without you
Hey, I always knew
You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too

In my music, lalala
I've been waiting all alone
In my music,lalala
Comes a feelin'
Like I'd never ever known

You'll be my piece of the pie
That keeps me alive
You'll be the reason why
I give all my props to you
Oh, ain't nothin' new
You'll be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too

You'll be my morning light
That breaks through my night
You are my bloodline
What would I do without you
Hey, I always knew
You'd be the one thing
Who I'd owe it all too (2x)

In my music (3x)

Come to me
Whenever you're in time of need
I won't melt away
Like a fair-weather friend
On me you can depend

If I may
I'd like to take this time to say
I'll be by your side
Til the sun grows dark
And the moon brings light of day

Oh it's me for you and you for me
That't how it's got to be
Though fainter hearts
May come and go
Here's one thing you'll always know

CHORUS:
Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Oh, through it all

When you say
You've never been loved quiet this way
I have to smile
And take credit for being
The first to truly say

Oh through it all
A spirit that's brighter by far
Then all of the stars
That shine through the night
You glow with heaven's light
It's me for you and you for me
That't how it got to be
Though love affairs
May come and go
Here's one thing you always know

CHORUS:
Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Through it all (2x)

No empty promises you can be sure
We've both been down this road
And this time it's so much more
So much more

Through it all (3x)
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
I will stop the rain
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)

Chant:
We need a think tank I'm thinking
We need a think tank I'm thinking

Verse 1:
With tender smile, we bless a child
with love and light, and patron saint.
Don't let them cry, that we denied
tomorrow's child today.

Verse 2:
The hurt, the need, to heal, to feed
They linger near the marketplace.
Will we deny, or compromise
tomorrow's child today?

Pre-chorus:
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves a mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama Papa thinkin' 'bout tomorrow today

Verse 3:
As rivers roar, the eagles soar
this ancient lore of rightful place.
Do we ignore, or save them for
Tomorrow's child today?

Pre-chorus:
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves a mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-ay
Mama Papa thinkin' 'bout:

Chorus:
Tomorrow today---Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Tomorrow today---Is anybody thinkin' 'bout

Verse: Instrumental

Pre-chorus:
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Mama loves mambo, Mama Papa sway
La la la la la la la ley lu, La la lee lew-lay
Celebrate and think about:

Chorus:
Tomorrow Today - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Tomorrow Today - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the homeless - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the joblessness - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the children - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout
Thinkin' about the forest, yes - Is anybody thinkin' 'bout

So close and yet so smart
Head first before the heart
Ain't no shame
Ain't no game
With the flame

Coldwaters rush in March
No place for April flowers
Take her name
Say she came
With the flame

I've been told
When the stars all align
That even bitter lips like mine
Will call the moon a friend & kiss again
Some I'm told
Let their hearts read the signs
While other men are hungerin
And can't let it in

Be still my foolish heart
Please don't upset the cart
Stay the same
Ain't no game
With the flame

I've been told
I'll be dancin in time
Walkin rhythm talkin rhyme
The earth will turn and send the sun again
All my gold
For a light or a sign
Some kind of kin
To say my friend
Let it out - let it in

Strange fire down below
So 'fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start again
With the flame

Strange fire down below
So fraid to let you know
Change my name
Start again
With the flame
The flame (2x)

I thought about you, last night
About you, I thought about you (2x)

It's like they use to say
You'll never gonna survive
Unless you're just a little crazy
Jump right in the game of love
Start believin' in that someone
You can really trust

CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)

You're just the one for me
And I believe you'll never leave
Take care my heart and soul
Never left to take a full control

CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

You, you brighten my life
So many times
And believe me
I'm so satisfied
I know I'm sure
I found what I was lookin' for

CHORUS:
Last night
I thought about you
(And the miracles of things that you do)
Last night
I thought about you
(And everyday your ways, I'll thank you)

Chorus:
This one
That one
Each one
Is god's gift to the world

They are
We are
Each one
Is god's gift to the world

1st verse
There are no extra people
In a mansion or a ghetto
Each heart and soul is counted
Though they're different than you

So look across the ocean
See those on distant corners
Or see the one beside you
Look in their eyes and you'll know that it's true

2nd verse
And all the lonely people
The first ones and the last ones
All the great and small ones
The ones that win and lose

All of the remembered
Even the forgotten
From every single nation
You know it's true...for me and you

Chorus (repeats....)

Nitakungodea Milele
Nitakungodea Milele

These are the words I say
when I want you near to me
From that place deep
in my heart
you will see

I'm never far away anytime
any place
When you reach out
for my love
I'll be there, yeah

I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you when
you're falling

I will be here for you, baby
Let me love you

When the world's too
hard to bear
and you need a helping hand
I'll be there, the one to help
you understand

If you wander far away,
Zambia or Monterey
I'll be there the one to
wash your tears away

I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you
when you're falling

I will be here for you, baby
Let me love you ooh, ooh
I wanna love baby,
let me love you

I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you
when you're falling

I will be here for you baby,
let me love you

Nitakungodea milele

I will be here for you baby,
let me love you

I will be here for you, baby
I will be here for you when
you're falling

When you're fallin' baby,
I'll be around the corner

Someone wrote just yesterday
"Love's in need of love today"
Will there be none tomorrow

Faded feelings, jaded news
Where's the tender hearts
that love romance, they
seem so few

So, I write these words to say
Take heart have faith
in love's tomorrow
Where our precious dreams
will all come true

Heaven knows what I've
been through
searching for a heart that's true
Is there one in a million?

Though I've often failed the test
Everyone must journey till
that questioning is through

Shine a star for me to see what
children see on Christmas morning
Every hope and dream
to be renewed

Heaven only knows how I hope
that chance of love is higher
than one in a million

I'm a dreamer I confess
but my dreams are only of
the best that we can do

So, I'll keep on counting sheep
and will not sleep until the dawning

Help me break the news, eternal
love just beat the blues

CHORUS:
Save me from no love
(you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come
and is not gone,
there is all, that I want,
this morning

Save me from no love
(you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come
and will live on,
Never gone, ever on,
(strong), eternally (forever)

Now I've done the best I can, girl
I need a helping hand
Are you one in a million?

People leave without good-byes
Stay with me, for through your
eyes I see another truth

You're the star and now I see what
children see on Christmas morning

Stay and see it through the gift
of love returned to you

CHORUS:

I'm searchin' for love, baby,
been lookin' today
somewhere there's a love, baby,
do you know the way?

CHORUS:

Save me, save me
You've got to save me
Save me, save me
Baby, you can save me
Save me, save me
You've got to save me
from no love

Step by step I'll follow you
Everywhere you roam, whoa
Step by step I'll follow through
Comin' to bring you home, whoa

I keep reachin' out for you
Wondering if I'm touchin' you
You say "Yeah"
But when it's on the line
you are nearly mine
Then you're off and gone
again, ooh

Chorus:
Lady be kind,
lady be mine
Lady divine,
I adore you
Give me a sign,
where is it goin' to
Will of the wisp,
maid of the mist
Forever and ever
waitin' for you
My name on a list
I never did this till you

Step by step I'm keepin' time
Lady it's runnin' low, whoa
Step by step just makin' time
And I want to make it grow,
whoa

There's a diamond in the sun
There's somebody for everyone
There's a movie that you know
that makes you smile
Love ain't everything
But girl we should try it
for a while

Chorus

My father told me it's okay
to be lonely
Just don't be taken for the fool
I sit here waitin' anticipatin'
I think I broke my daddy's rule

Let go and let it be ' cause
I can't bear to see
us lose the best we ever had

Chorus

When it appears your love is finally on the line,
And you can't hold it back much longer
And when it seems as though you're runnin' out of time,
That's the time you should be stronger,
Well, if you care about her - don't you ever doubt her love,
Would you turn around and throw it all away,
Just let her know today.

Chorus:
That it looks like trouble in paradise,
And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice,
Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again.

May you always have somebody to depend on,
And may your days be celebrations,
And may there always be an angel on your shoulder,
To cut that awkward situation.
And if you love each other - you'll never need another, oh no,
When the whole wide world has finally got you down,
She'll still be around.

Chorus:
That it looks like trouble in paradise,
And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice,
Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again.

(repeat and fade)

Not like this without a single tear
We can't just walk away as if
it never happened

Our kind of love has never
talked in whispers
So if it's time to go,
let's do it right and go out loud

But not like this without
a backward glance
Did all our feeling die
the moment love was over
Well, not in me 'cause
I still feel you in my soul

So I will leave you
tenderly or bitterly
But not like this

Livin' a dream
Where things are even
better than they seem
I wanna go
To where the lights
inside provide the glow

You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Well, take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
you already knew
Look inside and you

CHORUS:
Love is waiting
It's just around the bend
Waiting for you to turn the
charm on
Oh, waiting and it will never end
Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)

What'll you do
When all the fancy dancin'
days are through
Where will you go
When all the neon lights
have lost their glow

You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Come take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
you already knew
Look inside and you will see that

CHORUS:

Oariá raiô
Obá Obá Obá

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O ue eu quero é sambar
Este samba
Que é misto de maracatu
É samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

IIt's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide,oh
why
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling
show
I know it's not much but it's the best I
can do
My gift is song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's
done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in
words
How wonderful life is while you're in the
world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got
me
quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote
this song
It's for people like you that keep it
turned oo

So excuse me forgetting but these things I
do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or
they're blue
Anyway the things is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

wedn'sday morning at five o'clock
as the day begins
silently closing her bedroom door
leaving the note that
she hoped would say more
she goes down
the stairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
quietly turning the backdoor key
stepping outside she is free.

she
(we gave her most of our lives)
is leaving
(sacrificed most of our lives)
home
( we gave her ev'rything
money could buy; bye bye)
something inside that way always denied
for so many years
she's leaving home; bye bye.

father snores as his wife
gets info her dressing gown
picks up the letter that's lying there
standing
alone at the top of the stairs
she breaks down and cries to her husband
"daddy, our baby is gone"
why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
how
could she do this to me?.
she ( we never thought of ourselves)
is leaving
( never a thought of ourselves)
home
( we struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye)
something inside that was
always denied for so many years
she's
leaving home; bye , bye.

friday morrning at
nine clock she is far away
waiting to keep the appointment she made
meeting a man from the motor trade.
she (what did we do that was wrong )
is having ( we didn't know it was wrong)
fun (fun is the one thing
that money can't buy; bye bye)
something inside that was always
denied for so many years
she's leaving home ; bye, bye

I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle
Hand-me-down books and shoes
They brought the yule tides in July

I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
Strolling for miles to a movie show
Singing a song "Shoobedoo
"While birds and rich folks flew
right on by

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

Winter wishes wait till June
We brightened July with
that hot dog fun
Tell your mama you're with Sue
You bring the beans and I'll
find the wine
Them neon lights were bright
till 2:00
And sneaking back home with
this girl named Jo
I hurried down to say do"
And stared my first man-child
in the eye

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

And now baby's got his bellyful
And finally here's that new bicycle
Working, praying, June to June
And mama's got LA gleaming
in her eye

And we got by
Lord knows we got by

You see we kept on walking
and talking, hawking
Ooing, cooing, wooing
Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing
Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying
Letting, fretting, begetting, lying
Flying, trying, sighing, dying.

wish i knew
why i'm so in love with you
no one else in this world will do
darling, please save your love for me
run away
if i were wise i'd run away
but like a fool in love i stay
and pray you'll save your love for me.

i can feel it
even when you're not here
can't conceal it
i really love you my dear
and though i know no good
can come from loving you

i can't do a thing,
i'm so in love with you.
so darling , help me please
have mercy on a
fool like me
i'm so unwise but still i plead
darling, please save your love
for me.

i can feel it
even when you're not here
can't conceal it
i really love you dear
and though i know no good
can come from loving you

i can't
help myself, oh what will i do.
so darling, help me please
mercy
i know i'm wrong but still i plead
that you will save your love for me
go ahead,
have fun in a crowd
but for crying out loud
darling, please save your love
for me

You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now

When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
she's a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I've left to savor

We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
traded for a favor
Now I'm demented and I'm
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?

You don't see me.
You don't see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
you don't see me

You should go ahead.
I'm a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you're going to ahead
You're going to do what
you're going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run

You take groceries and run, too
Don't leave nothing left for me
You're running and hiding
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can't find you nowhere
I'll beat your mama,
I'll beat your daddy
I'll go to jail,
it don't make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
own time, in my own way
Cause you don't see me,
you don't see me
I'm, I'm in your mirror.

hip horray for true love that's unconditional
just your baby, no pistol by your side
nothing wrong with a love of god traditional
making bridges or shoestrings all with pride
silver and gold obsessionals
pilfering's become an art
war and deceit professionals
and it breaks my heart, or am i just.

one more late, great dinosaur.
hip hooray for the solid citizensational
hale to caesar and praise to God on high
i'm working hard but i got two weeks vacational
made me mad when melodic music died.

i've heard the forest weeping
rivers that cease to roar
gone with thy brothers keeping
and it melts my core, or am i just
one more late, great dinosaur.

i'll keep the watch the waiting
you'll help me keep the door
the witness participating
so it breaks no more, or am i just
one more late
one more great
one more late, great dinosaur

Eddie Load up
Eddie low down
Beautiful funk
from a hole in a horn

Burnin' it up
Burnin' it down
Burnin' so hot melt
the snow on the ground

Better pass the cold duck round.
Eddie got the cold duck down.

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware, my foolish heart
So white the ever-constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

I thought I'd drop a line
Just saying
How your song's
Been playing
A pretty pitter patter
It lightly played
The summer rain
Upon my face

Like polka dots and ballerinas
You floated right between us
With gossamer and feathers
You fanned the flames
In (like) portraits caught
In autumn rain

Around and round
Upside-down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding
Playing 'round the corner

Somewhere I read a line
Just praising
A book and a song
And how the world was brighter
When Betty came along

Around and round
Upside-down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding
Playing 'round the corner

Somewhere I read a line
Just praising
A book and a song
And how the world was brighter
When Betty came along

This world was brighter
'Cause Betty came along

In her own sweet world
Populated by dolls and clowns
And a prince and a big purple bear
Lives my favorite girl.
Unaware of the worried frowns
That we weary grown-ups all wear.
In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear.
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
but then so will I.

Earrings made of shoestrings
Barbie dolls with blue jeans
Makin' cross eyes
Shakes me when I'm sleepin'
Did you ever see
A kitten with an apron on
Stop 'n start his stereo
When she knows her brothers down the hall runnin' 'round and skippin' 'round
Because she's so,
She's so inspired
Then she's tired
Please put me jammies on
Daddy look at the rain
Can I go and play in the rain

In the sun she dances
To silent music-songs
That are spun of gold
Somewhere in her own little head
Then one day all too soon
She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll
And her prince & her silly old bear
When she goes they will cry
As they whisper good-bye
They will miss her I know
But then so will I.

Be silent
And listen
The summer night has got something to say
Honey be silent
And listen

A little whisper like a preacher would pray
Honey be silent
And listen
Slow down a moment we been talkin' all day
What wonderful story it's tellin'
We'll hear it if we stop yellin'
So Honey be silent
And listen

The night'll whisper little things in your ear
Be silent,
And listen,
It's gonna whisper something you wanna hear
Honey be silent
And listen

And when you've heard it and it's ever so clear
Define every meanin'
cuz I will be dreamin' away
Hey don't scream
That way

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so so no one hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true dear
there's no one but you
Won't you keep?

Whisper why you'll never leave me
Whisper why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you.
Be silent
And listen

The summer nights has got something to say

Whisper why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you.

Without a whisper
Without a chore
All without ambition
That awaits 10,000's roar
The perfect vision
Of less is more
Awake in me
Lotus Flower

Without conditions
Without a door
Me & my religion
Reachin' fame
And keepin' score
Somewhere the vision
Of less is more
Still waits in me
Lotus Flower

Those golden chimes
Ring in roundelay
In time chasin' pride away
Far away from sight
Somewhere tonight
A child is waiting

Number one is the clock track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin'

Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move

Stumblers stumblin' they gonna stumble on it
Bumblers bumlin' will bumble 'til they've found it
No more slumberin' get out from under darlin'

Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move

I seen some lessons in that new school, so cool
You never laugh or smile or grin
The same expression if they boo you
Now if that ain't the time to laugh you've gotta tell me when

Paint some flowers on your wagon
To help yourself to laugh and grin
Pick up them trousers kid they're saggin'
And don't bite snap when you rap and someone will let you in

Number on is the track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin'

Scootcha-booty bottom move
Scootcha-booty bottom move

Computers workin' but I'm starvin'
I'd to show it how to sweat
Before it's over we'll be farmin'
You know that just might be the best thing to happen yet

Number one is the track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin'
Somethin's comin' to get you up and runnin'

Scootcha-booty bottom move

It's like a diamond ring
It's a precious thing
And we never want to lose it
It's like a favorite song
That we love to sing
Every time we hear the music

We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Its like a rainy night in candlelight
And,ooh it's so romantic
We got the whole thing working
out so right
And it's just the way we planned it

Tell ya
We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
Don't you know
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

We're in this love together
We got the kind that lasts forever
We're in this love together
And like berries on the vine
It gets sweeter all the time

Did you say, "I've got a lot to learn?"
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn.
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight.

Starting with, the "A,B,C of it
Right down to the "X,Y,Z" of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight.

The sky's a blackboard
high above you,
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write, "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Teach me tonight

If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write, "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky

Should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Teach me tonight.

I've lost all fear my love,
Teach me tonight.

After All / Al Jarreau

There, there was a time I knew
That no matter, come what may, love
would prevail
And then inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fail
Can true love fail
Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven't I sung to you
Of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you

Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms

I know in my heart and mind
That no matter, come what may, love will survive
And love, the author of space and time
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive
And the love that heals the wound
After the war is through
Is the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you

Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms

(repeat)

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside but
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide oh I
Well I don't have much money, but boy if I did you know
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I were a sculptor, but then again no,
Oh a man who makes potions in a travelling show
Well I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
Oh it may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof child yes I did in fact I kicked off the moss
But a few a few of the verses, you know they well they've got me quite cross
Oh but the sun's been real kind while I wrote, wrote down this song,
You see it's for people like you, they keep it turned on.

So please excuse my forgetting, of these things I do
Well you see girl I've forgotten, if they're green or are they're blue
Oh well anyway, you know the thing is, honey what I really mean
Only yours are the sweetest eyes I've believe I have ever seen
Oh lord ahh you can tell everybody there that, that this is your song

Yes you can oh the whole world may be quite simple but, but now that it's gone
Yes I hope you don't mind don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Every single line one more time girl I hope you don't mind
Hope you don't mind that I put down in words ohh these sweet words
How wonderful life is baby while you're in my world!

Believe I sit here on the dock of the bay watching the tide rolling
Away say I'll be thinking of you love sweet memories to you.

Come to me
Whenever you're in time of need
I won't melt away
Like a fair-weather friend
On me you can depend

If I may
I'd like to take this time to say
I'll be by your side
Til the sun grows dark
And the moon brings light of day

Oh it's me for you and you for me
That't how it's got to be
Though fainter hearts
May come and go
Here's one thing you'll always know

CHORUS:
Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Oh, through it all

When you say
You've never been loved quiet this way
I have to smile
And take credit for being
The first to truly say

Oh through it all
A spirit that's brighter by far
Then all of the stars
That shine through the night
You glow with heaven's light
It's me for you and you for me
That't how it got to be
Though love affairs
May come and go
Here's one thing you always know

CHORUS:
Through it all
You can depend on me
When tears begin to fall
And I will chase the clouds away
Through it all
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
Through it all (2x)

No empty promises you can be sure
We've both been down this road
And this time it's so much more
So much more

Through it all (3x)
I will ease your pain
When sorrows comes to call
I will stop the rain
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)
(I'll be here beside you)
(The pain and rain can't hide)

Not like this without a single tear
We can't just walk away as if
it never happened

Our kind of love has never
talked in whispers
So if it's time to go,
let's do it right and go out loud

But not like this without
a backward glance
Did all our feeling die
the moment love was over
Well, not in me 'cause
I still feel you in my soul

So I will leave you
tenderly or bitterly
But not like this

Somewhere out there,
Past the rainbow,
Beyond the moon and the stars,
We found Love.

Now it's ours my Lady.
A gift to cherish.
Sent down from heaven above.
And I'm-I'm so thankful, baby.
That I've got you.
And I'm so glad- I don't know why,
I deserve you baby.
I won't question it.
I'll just have faith, oh.

CHORUS:
I believe,
That we'll never really figure out the mystery
That's behind all of the joy we're feelin'.
I can see, that some things are beyond understanding.
These are the secrets of Love.
Secrets of Love.

Like a feather falling,
from the blue sky.
It twists and turns as it passes us by.
Somehow it found us.
Now we can hold it
And make a wing if we try.
And we'll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.

CHORUS X 1

And we'll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.

CHORUS X 1

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware, my foolish heart
So white the ever-constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
It's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fires start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love
This time it's love, my foolish heart

There is a way to make
sweet feeling last
There is a way to be
sheltered when the wind is free
There is a way my father
taught me how to sing
And I sing my song every day now

And it won't take much
of your time
Really won't take much
of your time
No, it won't take much
of your precious time
Just to get the spirit deep
in your bones
You really got it, talking
about the spirit
You got it, deep in your bones,
you really got it

There is a way to make the
mountains cry
Suh a way to be comforted,
sweet mystery
There is a way my father taught
me how to live my life
And I do that every day

There is a way to make
sweet feeling last
There is a way to be
comforted, sweet mystery
There is a way my father
taught me how to do it
Do it to it, when I
wanna do it to it.

I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle
Hand-me-down books and shoes
They brought the yule tides in July

I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
Strolling for miles to a movie show
Singing a song "Shoobedoo
"While birds and rich folks flew
right on by

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

Winter wishes wait till June
We brightened July with
that hot dog fun
Tell your mama you're with Sue
You bring the beans and I'll
find the wine
Them neon lights were bright
till 2:00
And sneaking back home with
this girl named Jo
I hurried down to say do"
And stared my first man-child
in the eye

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

And now baby's got his bellyful
And finally here's that new bicycle
Working, praying, June to June
And mama's got LA gleaming
in her eye

And we got by
Lord knows we got by

You see we kept on walking
and talking, hawking
Ooing, cooing, wooing
Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing
Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying
Letting, fretting, begetting, lying
Flying, trying, sighing, dying.

Susan wants to take me
to a party over yonder
Susan wants to take me
to her heart
It's a arm and tender place there,
do you know
Susan, I've been living here
in this fortress
And it's filled with armor
And sometimes celebrations
lose their charm

Susan do you mind,
sometimes I'm restless
Rolling on the floor in pain and woe
After all the precious gifts you
will gladly give to me, girl
I may blindly lock and bolt the door

Baby, sweet baby
I'll truly love you through my years
Well it's just that sometimes
by midnight light
I'm frightened by my fears
But if you could just hold me,
warm me, girl
The way you did today
And tenderly anoint my eyes
Then I may see the way
Susan, baby, take me to that party
'Way over yonder

Tell me, Susan, do you mind
Come on, Susan, take the time
Tell me, Susan, do you mind
If I've been blind a long time?
I been blind a long time

Sometimes, see, if you're
not careful
A little hurt, pain in your heart
Will make you blind
Blind to the real thing, once
it comes along
Honey, can you wait, baby
Can you wait for me, till I
get this thing together?
I been blind, I been blin,
blind a long time
Sweet Susan, take the time, girl

Susan, can you understand
If I say I love you, baby
Tell me, Susan, mama,
do you mind?
Girl, I been blind.

You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now

When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
she's a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I've left to savor

We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
traded for a favor
Now I'm demented and I'm
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?

You don't see me.
You don't see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
you don't see me

You should go ahead.
I'm a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you're going to ahead
You're going to do what
you're going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run

You take groceries and run, too
Don't leave nothing left for me
You're running and hiding
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can't find you nowhere
I'll beat your mama,
I'll beat your daddy
I'll go to jail,
it don't make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
own time, in my own way
Cause you don't see me,
you don't see me
I'm, I'm in your mirror.

By snowy fields and lanes
she keeps the waiting
In candlelight the sacred
alter shines
He suckled the young lambs
upon his knee
Giving the weary sleep in peace
He read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind

Of winter's love for spring,
she kept the vision
Sweet chariots aflame against the sky
He played on the harp sweet melody
Children and emperors came to see
He drove the dragons into the nights
But he was blind

So lock all the gates and
bolt the chamber door
Because nobody leaves or
enters anymore
Now lock all the gates and
bolt the chamber door
Would you lock all the
gates and the chamber

Come, come
Somebody come and lock
all the gates and bolt the chamber
Cause nobody leaves or enters anymore

By snowy fields and lanes she
keeps the waiting
In candlelight the sacred alter shines
He suckled the young lambs upon his knee
He bid the weary sleep in peace
He read the stars inside her dream
But he was blind, he was blind

Do you know that it was
by design
How you told me, told me,
told me
That you were free and
it was by design
How you wiggle, wiggle,
start to wiggle
When you're just walking by me
And it was by design
How you offered me just to walk
on down the road
I think that love,
love was by design

Raggedy Ann
And it was by design
Sunny fields and mansions just
behind your eyes
Lady lace and velvet passion
burning just behind your eyes
It was by design how you
conquered me
And on a fiery star we rose
I think that love, was your love,
by design
Little Miss Raggedy Ann

Would you, could you take me?
Let me fall by the wayside
Take me in your arms

Girl, you got the way to
make me love you
You got the way to make
me care
Like I never cared before,
got the way
Take me, Ann, let me fall
Little Miss Raggedy Ann
I'll be your man, if I can
Oh, baby, I'm going to be
your man

Letter perfect stars of
gold in school
You got a right to shout,
you been living the Golden Rule

In your time broken-hearted
beggars danced for you, girl
"Doing alright,"I hear you shout,
"I'm living the Golden Rule"
(But then I hear you say)

Hurry down, sunset,
hurry, get dark like wine
Hurry down, sunset,
hurry, won't see, won't find
No suffering, see nobody,
you can't see nobody

You should let some love and
kindness shine through you
You'll be alright then you'll shout,
"I'm living the Golden Rule"

Must I fall down upon my
hands and knees
Get to begging you, please
Honey, open up your eyes
I'm before you with my
glaring needs
You can't see nobody

Oh pretty baby, help me,
honey, oh sweet thing
Take off them dark sunglasses,
I'm right here in front of you
Would you open up your eyes?

I need your loving
I need your care and hugging
You can't see nobody
I'm going home
Oh, leter perfect stars of
gold in school
You live the Golden Rule

Now it was a hot sticky morning
'Round the Fourth of July
The breeze was standing still
I'm hanging out by myself
And I'm having a good time
With the folk inside my head
And you know, Lord,
how you did a lovely thing
See, times my head is lighter
than it's ever been
And anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Don't want pumpkin again,
no, they don't want

'Cause it don't taste right, no
Look-a-here city boy with your
silks and braided hair
Don't you let nobody fool you
with no imitation nothing
Tell 'em, say, unh, unh, buddy,
I been there
Listen mama, when you
finally walk on in
Don't forget to bring along
your sweet potato tin
'Cause when you serve him
a slice of your sweet potato

Sin, girl, he won't want pumpkin again,
no, he won't want
Now I took a trip down to Sissy's
She's a friend of mine
She smiled and asked me in
Well, she drew a box and a big,
fancy question mark
Said, "Brother, which one is you in?"
I told her, "Sister, don't worry
'bout the mule going blind
You just sit in the wagon and
hold on to the line
'Cause anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Don't want pumpkin again,
really don't want"

Now I saw the gates
gold and pearl
And I sat right down
in a dream of you, old friend
I'm thinking some milk and
honey and a pot of stew
Might fill that gap again
You know, I'm a thankful
witness to the things I've seen

And times my head is lighter
than it's ever been
And anyone who's ever had
sweet potato pie
Really don't want pumpkin again,
no they won't want

Would you give me some
sweet potato y'all

Just beside the door
the bold and certain hand
That turned the dragons trembled
He touched the Holy Lamp
and faintly saw his feet

And just beside the door,
his pure uncertain tears
The burden fell so tender
and in the darkest night a
rose grew by his feet

Stand beside me now,
I've been in your place
And you've been in mine
And the only difference
is our space and time
And the only light is
somehow in the lamp
That's at your feet
Why can't you see?

But ain't it high,
ain't holy when you see?
And it's just times when
I'm weary worries me
Don't you know how Aladdin's
lamp guards the night
Ten thousand candles beam
The silver stream you're
searching for

Oh, friend, the words are true
I want to offer them to you.

Letter perfect stars of
gold in school
You got a right to shout,
you been living the Golden Rule

In your time broken-hearted
beggars danced for you, girl
"Doing alright,"I hear you shout,
"I'm living the Golden Rule"
(But then I hear you say)

Hurry down, sunset,
hurry, get dark like wine
Hurry down, sunset,
hurry, won't see, won't find
No suffering, see nobody,
you can't see nobody

You should let some love and
kindness shine through you
You'll be alright then you'll shout,
"I'm living the Golden Rule"

Must I fall down upon my
hands and knees
Get to begging you, please
Honey, open up your eyes
I'm before you with my
glaring needs
You can't see nobody

Oh pretty baby, help me,
honey, oh sweet thing
Take off them dark sunglasses,
I'm right here in front of you
Would you open up your eyes?

I need your loving
I need your care and hugging
You can't see nobody
I'm going home
Oh, leter perfect stars of
gold in school
You live the Golden Rule

Well, love's got a hold on me,won't let go;
'cause it's the real thing ba-by,
I just want you to know
That I love you all the way,
More and more each day.

I love to hear you say,'Well, loves got a hold of me too,
I know it's true; I get that funny feeling just from being close to you.
When I listen to your heart-beat
Not another sound so sweet,
Please hold my hand.'

And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin' free.

'Baby, I'm on fire,
And it feels so good
To have this warm desire
Like a woman should who's really got
Someone to make love to.
I'll stay right here forever with you.'

Well, I'll be right here beside you till the end,
And kiss your eyes and cast away your troubles to the wind,
And love you for all my life,
And take you for my wife,
Please hold my hand.

And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin' free.

I can see the love light shinin'
Like a rainbow in your eyes.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Ain't nobody here with us,
Listen to your heartbeat,
Ain't nobody here with us.
Listen to your heartbeat,
Ain't nobody here with us.

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Could you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high?
Just to carry your spirit up on high

I saw people in trouble
I heard the angels cry
'Now don't tamper with my children'
Made the Devil fly
Spent the night with David
He taught me what to say
I was looking for a smooth stone
When I heard him pray

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that its true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry your spirit
Up on high?

Oh, I could sing of all kinds of reasons
Reasons to lay your burden
Softly down
What kings and prophets did for freedom
Precious dreams imprisoned
Underground
Well, I've got this song that I'll sing
And I'll make the mountains ring
Tell my mama
That I'm homeward bound

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Could you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high

You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now

When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
she's a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I've left to savor

We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
traded for a favor
Now I'm demented and I'm
burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?

You don't see me.
You don't see me
I get so tired of trying to
attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
you don't see me

You should go ahead.
I'm a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you're going to ahead
You're going to do what
you're going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run

You take groceries and run, too
Don't leave nothing left for me
You're running and hiding
and ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can't find you nowhere
I'll beat your mama,
I'll beat your daddy
I'll go to jail,
it don't make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
own time, in my own way
Cause you don't see me,
you don't see me
I'm, I'm in your mirror.

Take Five


Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive



Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play



Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way



Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light


Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five

I hardly had a bellyful
Never knew a new bicycle
Hand-me-down books and shoes
They brought the yule tides in July

I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
Strolling for miles to a movie show
Singing a song "Shoobedoo
"While birds and rich folks flew
right on by

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

Winter wishes wait till June
We brightened July with
that hot dog fun
Tell your mama you're with Sue
You bring the beans and I'll
find the wine
Them neon lights were bright
till 2:00
And sneaking back home with
this girl named Jo
I hurried down to say do"
And stared my first man-child
in the eye

But we got by
Lord knows we got by

And now baby's got his bellyful
And finally here's that new bicycle
Working, praying, June to June
And mama's got LA gleaming
in her eye

And we got by
Lord knows we got by

You see we kept on walking
and talking, hawking
Ooing, cooing, wooing
Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing
Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying
Letting, fretting, begetting, lying
Flying, trying, sighing, dying.

Really touch somebody.
Really, really touch somebody.
With a random act of love.

VERSE: 1
Everything we do with good intent
Won't ever disappear, it only ripples into habit
Ever deep, cause it's no accident
That you and I are here
And you and I were meant to happen

CHORUS
There's one thing, that i know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love

VERSE: 2
An open heart can change the world we know
Into a loving place
Reviving everything that's givin' in it
Every spark, another chance to grow
Let love illuminate
The place where light is dimming

CHORUS
There's one thing, that i know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love

VERSE 3
One simple thing,
can really touch somebody
Make somebody smile inside
What joy it brings,
to really touch somebody
Love's a win-win heart reliever,
As good for the giver as it is the receiver.
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
Really touch somebody with a random act of love

CHORUS X 2
Just one thing I know,
That's a gift to the giver
Just one thing I know,
Just, let it flow like a river
Just one thing I know,
Making life even better
One thing that I know,
Flip your script

CHORUS X
One thing that I know of love
Everyday??

They're sayin' stick the script.
But there's more to the book, somehow.
Yellin' on the corner just a waste of time,
They can never know the truth in that frame of mind.
Come spark the track with your gift.
God bless your grits bring it on now.
Cause you know there's much more to the script.
Try to lift your spirits to the very tip.
And?

CHORUS:
Life is,
Worth much more to me
Than you could maybe never ever see.
See Life is,
Worth much more to me
Than you could ever?

The other day I was afraid of being hypnotized,
By so many people whose dreams won't begin to be realized.
But I came to know,
The lessons they were told wasn't really so.
But they kept tellin' me,
Do all the things we do and you'll be good to go.
See..

CHORUS X 1

You ain't really drivin' as long as you ridin'
with those who would steal your soul.
You've been crippled to pieces so dig what they preach
And don't come with that hit no more.
I'm down for the cause I mean takin' a pause,
Really live for the time we're given.
Baby, can't you hear the drum?
Now listen hear it comes,
It speaks of a life that's worth living.

CHORUS X 2

Anybody tell me
Just what I've been doing wrong.
They say it's not forever.
But forever's less than too long.

Those doubts before
And tremblin' at the door will fade.
When you learn to say, it's?

CHORUS:

Never too late to fall in Love.
Just wait, you'll find it.
Open the gate, you're stronger now.
Just wait , just wait to fall in Love.

Many people tell me
There's a mystery in this song.
When you hold your breath unending
Getting' tired and weak you break down.

Hold on to you.
Your heart will know the truth one day.
When you learn to say, it's?

CHORUS: X 1

Turnin' ice cold night into day.
These are the words I've been learnin' to say,
Never too late.

CHORUS TO FADE

Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Heaven
(feels like heaven to me)
Get up in the morning and i see your smiling face
Feels like a dream
I'm wide awake
It's just too good to be true
That's what i'm thinking when i'm loving you
Lay down every evening and your by my side
Staight from above into my life
I pray the lord my love to keep
When we're together i'm in ecstacy

Chorus:
girl you take my breath away
and if there was one word to say
What it's like bein' with you
I guess the word heaven, would have to do
And heaven's where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, so plain to see
Just touchin' me, feels like heaven to me

Feels like heaven to me,
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me
Feels like heaven to me

Baby, you're an angel,
And your love is so divine
Pure and supreme,
Gets better all the time
Your tender kiss, i can't resist
Never thought nothin' could feel like this

Maybe you could tell me somethin' that i wanna know
Like how d'you get so far from home
A little bit of paradise
That's what i'm seein' shinin' in your eyes

Chorus x 1

I can't control the love i feel
(bg: i can't control the way i feel
your love's the highest high)
It's the highest high
(bg: if i could ever change a thing
don't think i'd even try)
Oh, don't think i would try
(bg: cause this is pure, it's love divine
and i know that this is real)
Cause i can see the change in me
By the way that you make me feel
Feels like heaven to me.
Feels like heaven to me.

Chorus x 1

Take my breath away
There's just one word to say,
What it's like bein' with you
i guess the word heaven, would have to do
Heaven's where i wanna be
In heaven, there is love and peace
And you are all that i need, it's so plain to see
Just touchin' me, feels like heaven to me

Feels like heaven to me.
Feels like heaven to me?.

Dark cloud rollin' outside my window.
Thunder rumblin' in a minor key.
It made me remember my Mama, my Mama's smile
She said mind what you thinkin' and
There are places you should
And places you should not be

Workin' on fifth round down at Shelley's
Now if you shoot six the seventh one's free.
I can't be the last one to leave here again tonight.
I was lookin' at number seven when you
Walked in and brought a light

CHORUS:
I was in the wrong place at the right time
The devil had an arm around me,
But your sweet heart found me & I must 'a been prayin' right
I was in the wrong place at the right time, child.
You took a three time loser and you turned him around
Lost and found.

I don't mean to overglorify you
Or make you somethin' that you cannot be
But if you could do me just one favor would you child
Tell me what were you doin' in heaven before you dropped in
And rescued me.

CHORUS x 1
A heart recovered.
What a sight to see.
Would you believe what your love has done for me?
You were good to me.
Tell me what were you doin' in heaven before you dropped in and rescued me?

CHORUS TO FADE

Somewhere out there,
Past the rainbow,
Beyond the moon and the stars,
We found Love.

Now it's ours my Lady.
A gift to cherish.
Sent down from heaven above.
And I'm-I'm so thankful, baby.
That I've got you.
And I'm so glad- I don't know why,
I deserve you baby.
I won't question it.
I'll just have faith, oh.

CHORUS:
I believe,
That we'll never really figure out the mystery
That's behind all of the joy we're feelin'.
I can see, that some things are beyond understanding.
These are the secrets of Love.
Secrets of Love.

Like a feather falling,
from the blue sky.
It twists and turns as it passes us by.
Somehow it found us.
Now we can hold it
And make a wing if we try.
And we'll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.

CHORUS X 1

And we'll fly away baby.
No matter where the winds of fate will take us.

CHORUS X 1

You oughta get comfortable.
We gonna get busy.

Say good-bye to the late, to
the great Mr. Nice Guy.
Do or die, I'm (gonna) open your eyes.
Start a wild, wild fire inside ya' baby.
Undecided, heart divided.
Wonderin' how should, you ask me how long
You can fight it, but tonight it's all about how strong.

CHORUS:
I'm gonna hit you with all I got.
Get ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.
You'll be so pretty.
Church in the mornin',
But for the moment it's alright,
Yes, it's on.

East or West, full of stress.
Troublin' reaction.
I'll never rest,
'til I get your request for some attraction

CHORUS 2:
I'm gonna hit ya with all I got.
I'm gonna hit you,all I got.
Close your eyes, all I got.
Can you imagine.
The radio be singin', uh-huh, uh-huh.
All I got.
Be ready,
All I got.
Touch your sky,
All I got.

We'll be shoulder to shoulder,
Over & over it's alright,
Baby.

VAMP OUT
Baby, baby, the talkin' time is over.
Now we got to hurry to the real thang.
Didn't we let the season go rollin' right by.
What've we got to lose by givin' it all we got.
We gonna come out the winner, believe it or not.
Just rally around the funk and say I love ya.
Baby!!
Goin' in through the window, stayin' through the summer.
Woe unto the woman that's startin' to doubt.

All I got.
All I got.
All I got.
All I got.

I want to know the places that you go when you're all alone.
And I want to see all the secrets that you keep when you're not with me.
And I'll open the treasures of love deep in my heart.

CHORUS:
And I promise I'll hold you close to me.
I'll write you a song with words so sweet
And I'll sing to you the melody,
'Til you Love me.

Tell me your dreams
And every wish that I might grant for thee.
Open your heart and let me fill you up with everything you need.
And we'll walk step by step, you and me in harmony.

CHORUS X 1

Show me the key
And I'll write a symphony for you and me.
Words can't explain how much your love means to me.

CHORUS X 3

Don't talk about religion.
Someone says I gotta run.
Quicksilver wing express, compresses time.
They'll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.

CHORUS:
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) you run Johnny, run.
Tell them it's easy (you'll see it),
When your heart is light and young.
Stepchild to lead us,
The procession's begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun.

Don't talk about the weather.
Why the salmon didn't run.
We'll watch the children play, through filtered light.
The emerald green sequoias, just a statue made of bronze.
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by.

CHORUS X 2

Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sun?

Oh what a dream, Oh what a story.
Don't have to weep, Come and enjoy a smile.
Opening scene is just like a doorway.
Here's a story, in rhythm and rhyme.

There is a tree on the street and in the forest.
Lavender dream whispered a poet.
Bright potpourri. The envy of orchids,
When it's dressed in a pink and fuchsia twine.
Jacaranda tree and the Bougainvillea vine.

Oh Mandela, that garden that you made,
Is a vision of the prayer, you must've been prayin' everyday.
Sweet Azaleas, every color every kind.
And the first and the last are all divine.

There is a dream of the trees and of the flowers.
There is a season of peace at the borderline?
Where we're redeemed and history will crown us.
Jacaranda tree and Bougainvillea vine.

Oh Mandela, would you say that it's alright?
When the children play they always say, they say that we were like
Cinderella, in your garden there's a shrine,
To the first and the last they're all divine.

One and all, big and small, a common birth.
Each and every child for all his worth.
Take the one who's always last and make him first.
Take these seeds. Seed the earth.

OUTRO:
Comin' along,
Oh what a long way we have come.
Comin' along,
Makin' a home for everyone.
Comin' along, way down South in Africa
Look at (Study) the Jacaranda tree huggin' the Bougainvillea

REPEAT OUTRO X 4
