Ah baby
After many tears fall from your eyes A thousand times you ask yourself why The one guy you love has departed You're left alone and broken-hearted Love just comes and goes How long it's gonna last nobody knows: That's the way love is, baby [or honey, or other endearing term] (That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) That's the way love is, baby (That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) That's how it is I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road And your heart is carryin' a heavy load I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend) And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in) Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong) You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone) Remember... (instrumental) Listen to me, little darlin' The road of love is rough sometimes But don't let it get the best of you I've been hurt by love so many times I know just what you're goin' through You wish you were never born You better forget him now that he's gone Wipe away your tears Love is here today and gone tomorrow (That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) All your joys turn to sorrow (That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) One day gladness, and the next day sadness (That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) ...and fade |

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain. Oh, the dark days are done and the bright days are here, My sunny one shines so sincere. Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet. Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way. You gave to me your all and all, Now I feel ten feet tall. Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see. Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z. My life was torn like a windblown sand, Then a rock was formed when we held hands. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face. Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace. You're my spark of nature's fire, you're my sweet complete desire. Sunny one so true, I love you. |

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May. I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl). I've got so much honey the bees envy me. I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees. I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl). Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ooooh. I don't need no money, fortune, or fame. I've got all the riches baby one man can claim. I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way? My girl (my girl, my girl) Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl). I've got sunshine on a cloudy day With my girl. I've even got the month of May With my girl |

Maybe there'll come a time when I won't be sad and lonely
just suppose I could love you from the very start, maybe heaven knows I could show you with an open heart, baby you're the one that I've been waiting for in this loneliness forever more baby, I know you're the one for me can it be that you're needing me as I need you, honey? (promise me) promise me if we part and I never knew, funny deep inside my heart I hope and pray that someday you'll come to me and say "baby, I know you're the one for me" maybe there'll come a time when I won't be sad and lonely love is strong and i'm betting that it will come my way, gladly if i'm wrong and mistaken, then i'll have to pay, sadly no other love could ever be the same if we fail, there's just yourself to blame oh baby, I know you're the one for me maybe there'll come a time when I won't be sad and lonely so lonely maybe there'll come a time when I won't be sad and lonely you're the one for me you're the one for me all of my life you're the one for me i'll never have another love you're the one for me for the rest of my life you're the one for me |

Childhood part of my life, it wasn't very pretty.
You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city, It was a one room shack that slept ten other children besides me. We hardly had enough food or room to sleep. It was hard times, Needed something to ease my troubled mind. LIsten! My father didn't know the meaning of work, He disrespected mama, and treated us like dirt. I left home, seekin' a job that I never did find, Depressed and downhearted I took to Cloud Nine, I'm doin' fine, up here on Cloud Nine. Listen one more time I'm doin' fine, up here on Cloud Nine. Folks down there tell me, They say, "Give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by". But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive, It's a dog eat dog world, and that ain't no lie. Listen! It ain't even safe no more to walk the streets at night, I'm doin' fine, on Cloud Nine. Let me tell you about Cloud Nine. Cloud Nine, you can be what you wanna be (Cloud Nine) You ain't got no responsibility, and ev'ry man, ev'ry man is free (Cloud Nine) And you're a million miles from reality. I wanna say I love the life I live, And I'm gonna live the life I love up here on Cloud Nine. I'm riding high On Cloud Nine, you're as free as a bird in flight (Cloud Nine) There's no diff'rence between day and night (Cloud Nine) It's a world of love and harmony (Cloud Nine) You're a million miles from reality. Cloud Nine, you can be what you wanna be Cloud Nine) You ain't got no responsibility, and ev'ry man, ev'ry man is free (Cloud Nine) And you're a million miles from reality. (Cloud Nine) (Cloud Nine) (Cloud Nine) |

I used to go out to parties
And stand around 'Cause I was too nervous To really get down And my body yearned to be free So I got up on the floor and found Someone to choose me No more standin' along the side walls Now I've got myself together, baby And I'm havin' a ball Long as you prove it There's always a chance Somebody watches I'm gonna make romance With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night Get down and prove it, feel all right . . . . ( and fade): Keep on dancin' Got to give it up |

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

When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet That belongs to a lonesome cop I open shop When the moon so long has been gazing down On the wayward ways of this wayward town That her smile becomes a smirk, I go to work. Love for sale, appetizing young love for sale Love that's fresh and still unspoiled Love that's only slightly spoiled Love for sale Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply? Who's prepared to pay the price For a trip to paradise? Love for sale. Let the poets pipe of love In their childish way I know every type of love Better far than they. If you want the trill of love, I've been through the mill of love, Old love, new love, Every love but true love. Love for sale. |
