(Lucy) I've been waiting, such a long time Just trying to get trough And it's taking, all of my strength To keep me here away from you
(Chauncey) It doesn't matter just how long it takes Nothing changes when we're apart
(Thompson's Sisters) It's just a little bit longer we've come this far
(All five) One step closer to heaven, baby Means one step closer to you There'll be no more living without you, baby I'm counting each minute 'till I'm back to you One step closer to heaven, baby Hold on, hold on, hold on to my lovin'
(Danielle) I've been saving Every little bit of my love for you I've been dreaming, Just to get by It's so exiting, fantasizing
(Chauncey) It doesn't matter just how long it takes Just to now we'll be back together
(Thompson's Sisters) And this time, it's forever

What do you get when you fall in love A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out Out of those chains, those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you kiss a guy You get enough germs to catch pneumonia After you do, he'll never phone ya I'll never fall in love again Don't you know that I'll never fall in love...
Lying beside you Here in the dark Feeling your heartbeat With mine
Softly you whisper You're so sincere How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are by my side
So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms..
Living without you Living alone This empty house is so cold Wanting to hold you Wanting you near How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back Turned night into day I need you to stay
So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide Believe what I say So here I am With open arms Hoping you'll see What your love means to me Open arms..
Left a good job in the city Workin' for the Man every night and day And I never lost a minute of sleepin' Worrin' about the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans But I never saw a good side of a city Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River
If you come down to the River Bet you're gonna find some people who live But you don't have to worry If you have no money People on the river are happy to give
Big wheels keep on turnin' Proud Mary keep on burnin' Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a river Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on a River!
I don't remember what day it was I, I didn't notice what time it was All I know is that I fell in love with you And if all my dreams come true I'll be spending time with you Every day's a new day in love with you With each day comes a new way of loving you Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wonder And if all my dreams come true I'll be spending time with you
Oh I love you more today than yesterday But not as much as tomorrow I love you more today than yesterday But darling not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow makes each springtime just a day away Cupid we don't need you now be on your way I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger And I always will be true I Know You Feel The Same way too
Oh I love you more today than yesterday But not as much as tomorrow Oh I love you more today than yesterday But darling not as much as tomorrow
Everydays a new day Everytime I love ya Everways A New Way Everytime I love you Oh I love you more today than Yesterday
You and I must make a pact We must bring salvation back Where there is love I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you I'll have faith in all you do Just call my name And I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to comfort you Build my world of dreams around you I'm so glad that I found you I'll be there with a love so strong I'll be your strength You know I'll keep holding on
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter Togetherness is all I'm after Just call my name And I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you With an unselfish love that respects you Just call my name And I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to comfort you Build my world of dreams around you I'm so glad I found you I'll be there with a love so strong I'll be your strength, you know I'll keep holding on
If you should ever find someone new I know she'd better be good to you 'Cause if she doesn't Then I'll be there (I'll be there)
Don't you know baby I'll be there I'll be there Just call my name And I'll be there Just call my name And I'll be there
You think you own whatever land you land on The earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
You can paint with all the colors of the wind You can own the earth and still All you'll own is earth untill
