Spring was never waiting for us till it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance.
Between the parted pages we were pressed, in love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants.
*Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark all the sweet green icing flowing down someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, nooo!
I recall the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave on the ground beneath your knees birds like tender babies in your hands and the old men playing Chinese checkers by the trees
*Repeat
There'll be another song for me and I will sing it there'll be another dream for me someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warn and never let you catch me looking at the sun, oh yeah and after all the loves of my life after all loves in my life you'll be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire and my passion flow like rivers through the sky oh and after all the loves in my life after all the loves in my life you'll still be the one and I'll ask myself why.
What would I have to do to get you to notice me too do I stand in line one of a million admiring eyes
Walk a tightrope way up high write your name across the sky
*I'm going crazy just to let you know you'd be amazed how much I love you so baby when I get my hands on you I won't let go this time I know it's for real
Should I write or call your home shout it out with a megaphone radio, TV news got to find a way to get my message to you
To say I love you with a neon sign anything to make you mine

Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio and they told the world just how you felt it must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat they never said your name but I knew just who they meant.

Raining, it's pouring my love life is boring me to tears, after all these years
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance we don't stand a chance
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover But he turned out to be like every other man our love, our love
Raining (raining) pouring (pouring) there's nothing left for us here and we won't waist another tear
If you've had enough, don't put up with is stuff, don't you do it If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Tell him to just get out Pack his raincoat, show him out Just look him in the eyes and simple shout Enough is enough I can't go on, Enough is enough, I want him out (I want him out that door now)
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover But he turned out to be like every other man our love, our love..Our love, our love.
Enough is enough I can't go on, Enough is enough, I want him out (I want him out that door now) Enough is enough, is enough, is enough, ...

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.
Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is. And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything. 9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell. And she's looking real pretty. She's waiting for her clientele.
She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.
Twentyeight years have come and gone. And she's seen a lot of tears of the ones who come in. They really seem to need her there. It's a sacrifice working day to day. For little money just tips for pay. But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care.
She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.
She already knows she's seen her bad times. She already knows these are the good times. She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill. She works haaaaard.
She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey. She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody play for me, just for me 'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone on my own
I can't bear to see the sun go down casting stormy shadows all around nothing seems to matter, I just get by from day to day I never thought that you would leave this way
Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody play for me, just for me 'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone on my own
Winter melody play for me, just for me 'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone on my own
Loneliness, that's all that's left for me happiness is chilled by winter's breeze I keep on remembering the day that you came along and since you left, well I just sing the song
Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody play for me, just for me 'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone on my own
Power Of Love/Love Power Written by: Luther Vandross, Marcus Miller, Teddy Vann
When I say goodbye it is never for long 'Cause I know our love still lives on It will be again exactly like it was 'Cause I believe in the power of love
When you're close I can feel the power When it's love I can always tell Love for me is the best thing now It's something that I know so well
Hold me closer and every minute Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah Hold me tighter and take me higher And feel the fire of the power of love
Did you know that your feelings show You thought your love was locked up inside But when your senses start to overload Love is something you should never hide
You've got to believe in love It's a feeling that's next to none Can't stop until we are one With the power of love
Tell everyone to try I promise you'll reach the sky One thing that we can't deny Is the power of love
So close your eyes and you can feel it Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love You can't deny it, so don't even try it Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love It's a feeling that's next to none Can't stop until we are one With the power of love
Tell everyone you see How much better the world could be For them and for you, for me With the power of love
Ooh, ooh, ooh My-my-my-my-my-my You've got to feel the power Yeah, yeah
So listen up and you will hear it A symphony from above, it's the power of love So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet
You've got to believe in love It's a feeling that's next to none Can't stop until we are one With the power of love
Tell everyone to try I promise you'll reach the sky One thing that you can't deny Is the power of love
When we walk down the street We don't care who we see or who we meet Don't need to run, don't need to hide 'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah
We've got love power It's the greatest power of them all, ooh...ooh... We've got love power And together we can't fall, sing it with
We've got love (Love) power (Power) It's the greatest power of them all Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power) And together we can't fall, and all the good
(We've got love) Ooh, we've got love (Power), yes, we do (It's the greatest power of them all) (We've got love) Love-love-love (Power) (And together we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got
(We've got love) If we've got love (Power) (It's the greatest power of them all) (We've got love) Tell the world we got love (Power) tell the people about it (And together we can't fall) And it's all because we've got, we've got
We've got love (Love) power (Power) Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me We've got more love (Love) power (Power) And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall
We can't fall (Love) when there's a love power (Power) 'Cause it's the greatest power of them all
