Eternal

Well I've cried all my tears
I've had enough time playing fool
It's the way that you walk through my life
Makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time

Got a picture of you by my bedside
Tells a story of times that we've shared
There's a smile on your face
That I never see much
And this is what I wanted to say

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
That you love me, love me

Now I walk away broken hearted
Been a while since I felt that I needed you
Did you ever feel that you needed me?
(Needed me)
As I remember all the times that you were close to me

Seems the way ahead leaves me lonely
Like a flower that springs out of season
I can't take this no more
Won't you tell me your thoughts
'Cause this is what I wanted to say

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
That you love me, love me

Why? Why does my heart stop beating
When you're away from me
(When you're away)
And why? Why am I weak from dreaming
I'm lost without you here

(Am I dreaming?)
(I feel so lonely inside)
(Is this a dream?)
(No more tears)
(I need to feel love, inside)
Tell me, am I dreaming?
(Do you love me? As much as I love you?)

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
(Do you love me as much as I love you)
That you love me
(Am I dreaming or is there a view?)
That you love me
(Is me heart still beating, can it be with you too?)
That you love me
(Tell me that you love me, the way I love you)
That you love me
(Tell me that you love me, I need you)

It's never too late
It's never too late

It's never too late
The Lord will see you through
Just call on his name
And his strength and love will guide you
Just open up your heart
And he will turn your life around
He's able, able to guide you, need you
Just open up your heart
And invite him to come in
Just believe in him
And know that it's never too late
It's never too late

All my life it seems my line has been set
And this time I'm gonna play to win
'Coz here you are at my fingertips
Gonna reach right out and pull you in
It doesn't matter what you do
I'm simply gonna make you mine
Even though I cry for you
I could never break the tie
It doesn't matter what they say
I just can't get enough
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm never gonna give you up

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go

Never never (x4)

Mama says someday that I'll meet someone
Who will take me away from you
I guess that she just doesn't know about love
There can be no substitute
'Coz what I feel for you is strong
I simply got to make you mine
I have waited much to long
I can never let this die
It doesn't matter what they say
I just can't get enough
It doesn't matter anyway
I'm never gonna give you up

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go

Never never
Never never give you up
Never never
Never never give you up

Never, yeah

All this wanting and frustation I feel
I'm sure I'll pay the price
But I keep my dreams until I make them real
'Coz I know you're worth the sacrifice

Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up (x3)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna (x2)
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna (x2)
Never gonna let you go

Never gonna give you up

(Come here baby)
(I got something for you)
(Don't you wanna come with me)
(Hmm, let's go)

Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?
Do you, do you feel, do you, do you feel?
Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?

I'll tell you straight up
When it comes to real love
My arms are open and my heart knows the score
I've lived and learned now
Sometimes got burned out
But every time I pick myself off the floor
You need good loving like a desert needs the rain
Never make your heart complain
You keep on running like a river to the sea
Look no further boy 'coz I've got just what you need

You need the power of a woman
Of a woman
Taking over you, that's what love can do
The power of a woman
Let me take control
Body mind and soul

Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?
Do you, do you feel the power?

Please don't misunderstand
I need a strong man
Who'll be my soldier, never give up the fight
I've gotta know now
Baby, let me show you how
Can you keep my fire burning morning to night?
You're always caught up in a one way love affair
Never with your heart on the ground
I've got the real thing
Come and get it if you dare
Let me tell you baby, don't you know I'm the one

You need the power of a woman
Of a woman
Taking over you, that's what love can do
The power of a woman
Of a woman
Let me take control
Body mind and soul

Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?
Do you, do you feel, do you feel the power?
Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?

(Do you feel the power?)

Give me the power

(Can you hear me baby?)
(I got something for your mind, your body and your soul)

You need good loving like a desert needs the rain
Never make your heart complain
You keep on running like a river to the sea
Look no further boy 'coz I've got just what you need

You need the power of a woman
Taking over you, that's what love can do
The power of a woman
Let me take control
Body mind and soul

Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?
Do you feel it baby, do you feel the power?
Ah, do you, do you, do you, do you feel the power?
Do you feel it?

Power of a woman
Taking over you, that's what love can do
Power of a woman

Hmmm, hmmm

You're on the wrong track Jack
Get off the rat race
I wanna see you filled with grace
Stop all this crap and get right back to a world that is good
And a man that is on that phat!

They have respect for each other
And now we're busy beatin' down on a brother
When will this madness end, somebody tell me
Or is the world just crazy?

[repeat chorus to fade]

I see myself when I look in your eyes
And all of the sadness you're keeping inside
Oh baby can't you see
If anyone knows, if anyone knows it's me

So many years I tried to pretend
That I would live on in silence my friend
Then something changed in me
Funny how love, it's funny how love sets you free

Don't run away
From my love it could save you
If only you'll stay

How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart

'What can I do?' I hear you say
Feels like I'm frozen or driftin' away
Can my love unlock the door?
And you won't be lonely, you won't be lonely no more

Hold me, hold me tight and don't let go
There's just one thing that you got to know
And that is love it holds the key, baby
So why don't take it, why don't you take it from me

Don't run away
From my love it could save you
If only you'll stay

How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart

How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart

Oh you just can't keep me away
Not another day, baby
You gotta open up and let me in
Don't try to run away 'coz I got so much to say
I could love you if you'd let me get close to your heart

How many tears will you cry in the dark
'Till you let me close to your heart
Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
Let me get close to your heart

[repeat chorus to fade]

Every time I see a child without a home of his own
Or a woman struggling to feed her family alone
Or an innocent man found guilty with nowhere to go
Who's to blame?

Who's responsible for making sure the farmer gets his rain?
Why is a victim fighting for each day of his life in vain?
Can a man be guilty when his motives are insane?
Who's to blame?

(What can we do?)
I only wish that I could say
I wish that everything bad would up and go away
(How can we help?)
I wish that I knew how
I wish the love would rain down on me now

Grace under pressure
That's what we need to survive
Just to stay alive, just to stay alive
Grace under pressure
Just a little grace when the going gets tough, that's enough

When your mother tells you, your father didn't care
But she never gave you reasons why he was never there
That a wife and a child were not conducing to his plans
Ask who's to blame?

(What can we do?)
I only wish I knew
I wish that everything that's bad would up and go away and leave
(How can we help?)
I only wish I could say
I wish that everything that's bad would up and fly, fly away

Grace under pressure
Fly away
All I need's is a little pressure
All I need's a little grace
Grace under pressure
When the going gets rough that's enough

I'm gonna look to the sky
Grace under pressure
Lift my head up high
Under pressure
Grace, my lord grace
Grace under pressure
Lift your head up to the sky
Grace under pressure

Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
On its way
Let it come
Someday

Someday
Our fight will be won then
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
'Till then
On days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
If we wish upon the moon

There are some days dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for something better
Is the one thing we all share

Someday
When we are wiser
When the whole world is older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
One day, someday
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millennium
Let it come
If we wish upon the moon
One day
Someday
Soon

One day
Someday
Soon

Think about, think about me (oh)
Think about, think about me
(Think about me, babe)
Think about, think about me (oh)
Think about, think about me
Think about, think about me
Think about, think about

I wanna be loved like everyone else
I wanna be noticed for being myself
I can't exist on once in a while
Waiting around and around was never my style
You play your games perpetually
Never tell me enough
How much you love me
Boy you should know I need more this time
That I'll be the only woman to stay on your mind

You should think about me
Every minute or two
You should think about me
As much as I think of you
(Now and then)
Now and then doesn't do me any good
Think about me like you should

I want you to call me
(How many times?)
At least ten times a day
Send lots of letters when you go away
I'm never demanding with presents or gifts
Just think about me that is all that I ask

You should think about me
Every minute or two
You should think about me
As much as I think of you
(Now and then)
Now and then doesn't do me any good
Think about me like you should

Appreciation
(Isn't something I take lightly)
I take lightly
(Tell it like it is, girl)
(There's nothing I like better than when you surprise me)
You surprise me
(Consideration, imagination)
'Cause you worship, worship the ground beneath my feet

Oh, think about me
Oh, think about me
(Like you should)

[ad lib to fade]

Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can't I feel this way all the time?

Looking out the window, I feel so distant from you
There's so much I can give you
Just give me a chance
To show you my love and affection
Baby let's start again and prove our love
'Cause if it's wrong or right this is how I feel
I know I can make things right
You promise me always to be there through thick and thin

Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can't I feel this way all the time?

When our bodies are united
It gives me peace and joy and brings me sweet memories
The promises you made don't mean anything any more
Baby let's start again and prove our love
'Coz if it's wrong or right this is how I feel
I know I can make things right
Baby let's start all over again, I'll try

Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can't I feel this way all the time?

Said we'd spend all our lives
Making plans that would last all the time, oh
There are no guarantees, my life is full of surprises

Been around the world
Seen all I can see through the look in your eye
Touch my hand and I cry
Why baby, can't I feel this way all the time?

[repeat chorus to fade]

One final touch of your hand
But I just don't understand
You're out of sight, out of mind
Not out of my heart
The memory of a kiss
I sit back and reminisce
How we'd laugh a day away
Now my day turns to rain without you

Well I think and I pray
And you show me the way
But I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
But a laugh and a smile
Only last for a while
'Cause I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
Can I think of a time
That you weren't on my mind
Inside I'm dying
(I'm still, I'm still dying)
Should have known from the start
That you'd tear me apart
And my lover, lover would break my heart

(Baby baby baby baby)

I hold your spirit within
So precious to me since then
Can I hold on to the dreams?
Those sweet memories

Oh Lord help me to move on
Face that my lover is gone
Well I know it had to end
My lover became a friend
And that's you, that's you

Well I think and I pray
And you show me the way
But I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
But a laugh and a smile
Only last for a while
'Cause I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
Can I think of a time
That you weren't on my mind
Inside I'm dying
(I'm still, I'm still dying)
Should have known from the start
That you'd tear me apart
And my lover, lover

(All of thease nights)
That you left me all alone
(Trying to find)
Got to save my soul
(Gonna be fine)
But I'm on my own
(But 'till then I'll still be crying)
But 'till then I'll still be crying

Well I think and I pray
And you show me the way
But I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
But a laugh and a smile
Only last for a while
And I'm still crying
(I'm still, I'm still crying)
Can I think of a time
That you weren't on my mind
But I'm still cyring
Should have known from the start
That you'd tear me apart
And my lover, lover would break my heart

[ad lib to fade]

If you see me walking with a smile
And laugh all the while
It's because I love you
If you see that sparkle in my eye
I'm telling you why
It's because I love the way that you touch me
It moves my spirit high
And it gives me that feeling of summer in July
'Cause

You're my love
You're my everything
Gonna give you all my love
'Cause you're the world to me

Dreaming of a lifetime of love
That's sent from above
Telling you I love you
I don't want this feeling to end
Now I've found a friend
Who can bring me all the
Joy and all the laughter that I kept locked inside
Hold me in your arms baby, tell me that your love is mine

You're my love
You're my everything
All my love
You're my love now baby
You're the world to me
All my love
Gonna give you all my love
All my love, gonna give you

[Do you know I couldn't sleep last night 'cause I was thinking about you?]
[You're my world, you're the song I sing, you're my everything]

You're my love, you're my everything
Gonna give you all my love, you're the world to me

[repeat chorus to fade]

Well I've cried all my tears
I've had enough time playing fool
It's the way that you walk through my life
Makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time

Got a picture of you by my bedside
Tells a story of times that we've shared
There's a smile on your face
That I never see much
And this is what I wanted to say

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
That you love me, love me

Now I walk away broken hearted
Been a while since I felt that I needed you
Did you ever feel that you needed me?
(Needed me)
As I remember all the times that you were close to me

Seems the way ahead leaves me lonely
Like a flower that springs out of season
I can't take this no more
Won't you tell me your thoughts
'Cause this is what I wanted to say

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
That you love me, love me

Why? Why does my heart stop beating
When you're away from me
(When you're away)
And why? Why am I weak from dreaming
I'm lost without you here

(Am I dreaming?)
(I feel so lonely inside)
(Is this a dream?)
(No more tears)
(I need to feel love, inside)
Tell me, am I dreaming?
(Do you love me? As much as I love you?)

What do you mean when you say
That you love me, love me
(Do you love me as much as I love you)
That you love me
(Am I dreaming or is there a view?)
That you love me
(Is me heart still beating, can it be with you too?)
That you love me
(Tell me that you love me, the way I love you)
That you love me
(Tell me that you love me, I need you)

(I sit here watching the clock tick)
(Why am I waiting)

Sitting on my bed now, waiting for you to come home
Counting all the minutes, anticipating
It's about time now, you know our love is so real
Stronger than the feelings I've ever known

Why am I waiting for you
There's no time for dreaming, be true
Why am I waiting for you
Respect my love, just be there, be true

Tell me all my lonely nights, tell me
Don't wanna play your games
The way that I'm feeling
Is it just a childish time
Show me your heart, show me your mind
Baby don't be such a fool
'Cause you're treating me so cruel

Why am I waiting for you
There's no time for dreaming, be true
Why am I waiting for you
Respect my love, just be there, be true

Don't you think it's time to make it right
My love is too short to play around
Tell me that you believe in me
This is just a make believe
Baby show me your love
That is all I'm asking for
Baby I need you, baby I want you
Baby come home

Why am I waiting for you
There's no time for dreaming, be true
Why am I waiting for you
Respect my love, just be there, be true

Why am I waiting for you
There's no time for dreaming, be true
Why am I waiting for you
Respect my love, just be there, be true

Why am I waiting for you
Pack your bags and now we're through
Why am I waiting for you
'Cause I've done all I can do
Why am I waiting for you
When you can't even be true
Why am I waiting for you
I can't see why I'm waiting for you

[repeat chorus to fade]

It's never too late
It's never too late

It's never too late
The Lord will see you through
Just call on his name
And his strength and love will guide you
Just open up your heart
And he will turn your life around
He's able, able to guide you, need you
Just open up your heart
And invite him to come in
Just believe in him
And know that it's never too late
It's never too late
