사랑의 여러 모습을 비단처럼 부드럽게 표현한, 위대한 R&B 보컬리스트 루더 밴드로스! 그의 사랑 노래만을 모은 베스트 음반뇌졸중으로 쓰러진 뒤 결국 세상을 떠나게 된 2005년 7월 1일 이후에도 여전히 미국을 대표할만한 R&B 보컬로 존재한다. 그의 사망이 더 큰 자극을 주었던 탓도 있겠지만 고통 속에 작업한 루더 밴드로스의 마지막 앨범 「DANCE WITH MY FATHER」"2005"는 1981년에 발표한 첫 솔로 앨범 「NEVER TOO MUCH」 이후 첫 빌보드 앨범 차트 1위를 기록했다. 게다가 그래미에서도 앨범 타이틀 곡인 로 ‘올해의 노래’를 수상한 것을 비롯해 모두 네 개 부문에서 수상했다. 그가 세상을 떠난 후라 더욱 아쉬웠지만 여전히 그는 “미국 최고의 발라드 아티스트”로 대우받고 있다. .... ....

A kiss in the dark A certain time I can call you A letter of love But no name did you sign Pretending to all That we were just friends when I saw you I didn't know that you wanted me to be I didn't know that you wanted me for your you wanted me to be Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never last as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be no secret baby It's breakin' my heart You should've let me know from the first time baby That you were not were not free to love How could you wait so long Oh what a waste of love baby I should known that you wanted me to be I should known That you wanted me for your you wanted me to be Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never me as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be no secret baby It's breakin' my heart I won't be you secret love 'Cause it's just a waste of my love I'm tellin' you from the start I won't be the one who gives you love When your other guy ain't givin' you none
Don't come now wait for awhile Let's meeting at the place downtown It's a shame it has to be like this But I really miss you baby Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never last as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be no secret baby You're breaking my my heart Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never me as long Your secret love
I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you You're at the top of my list ‘cause I'm always thinkin' of you
I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much
Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin' Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'
Who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar I'd rather be with you ‘cause you make my heart scream and holler Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I am winnin' We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much (Never too much, never too much, never too much) And I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A thousand kisses from you is never (Never too much, never too much, never too much) I just don't wanna stop
Oh, my love A million days in your arms is never too much
What's there to say, there's not much to talk about And whatever happened to all of the love that we vowed Yes, it's true And there's nothing new You can say
Give me the reason to want you back Why should I love you again Do you know, tell me how How to forgive and forget Give me the reason to love you now It's been a mighty long time And the love that used to be Ended the day you walked out Never knew I'd ever be Standing alone and outside With no one to love
Yeah...Ooh........Yeah... I was secure and so glad there was you to love What in the world would I ever do without us But it's getting clear That I have to get over you
Give me the reason to want you back Why should I love you again Do you know, tell me how How to forgive and forget Give me the reason to love you now It's been a mighty long time And the love that used to be Ended the day you walked out Never knew I'd ever be Standing alone and outside With no one to love
No one, no one to love No one, no one to love No one, no one to love No one, no one to love
Give me the reason to want you back Why should I love you again Do you know, tell me how How to forgive and forget Give me the reason to love you now It's been a mighty long time And the love that used to be Ended the day you walked out Give me the reason To love you, girl To love you, girl To love you, girl To love you, girl To love you, girl Give me the reason To love you, girl To love you To love you, girl Ooh To love you, girl To love you, girl To love you, girl To love you, girl
She caught me by surprised I must say Cause I never have seen such a pretty face With such a warm and beautiful smile It wasn't hard for me to notice her style I was fascinated surely She took my heart and held it for me I wouldn't let her get away Not until she heard me say Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight Don't care if I get rejected At least then I won't regret it Regret the fact I missed the chance for romance at least I'll walk away knowing I tried my best and I'm going I'm going on with my day Cause at least she heard me say Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight That's why I had to come over And introduce myself to you Cause you're never gonna know Where you'll find love And hopefully I found it you Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight Excuse me miss But what's your name Where are you from and can I come And possibly can I take you out tonight To a movie to the park I'll have you home before it's dark So let me know can I take you out tonight
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants But it tears her apart 'cause nothing's for her heart He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight If he could only read her mind she'd say Buy me a rose call me from work Open a door for me what would it hurt Show me you love me by the look in your eyes These are the little things I need the most in my life
Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' is wrong 'Cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head Would it make a difference if she said if she said Buy me a rose call me from work Open a door for me what would it hurt Show me you love me by the look in your eyes These are the little things I need the most in my life And the more that he lives the less that he tries To show her the love that he holds inside And the more that she gives the more that he sees This is the story of you and me So I bought you a rose on the way home from work To open the door to a heart that I hurt And I hope you notice this look in my eyes 'Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life Rest of your life And I'm gonna hold you tonight tonight Do all those little things for the rest of your life of your life
[Chorus] I want you to believe in us Trust in your heart - I'm very real I want you to believe in me In time you'll know you're all I need
I see that you're hurting And don't believe my words are true But, well, I'm truly certain With all my heart I'll never hurt you
Take time to realize The whos, the whats, the wheres, and why's Don't have to compromise The love we feel we can't deny Yes It took me by surprise No, it didn't take me long Can't be long Feeling strong I want you for the long haul
[Chorus]
I see that you're open And that you wanna feel much more Well, I'm truly certain That my love will open the door To feelings to love And happiness To a life filled with wonder Never second guess That I want you and I love you Never wanted more You the one that I need And the one that I adore
I speak to myself sometimes and I say Oh my In a lot of ways you're a lucky guy Now all you need is a chance to try Any love
In my heart there's a need to shout Dying screaming crying let me out Are all those feelings that want to touch Any love
What a world for the lonely guy Sometimes I feel I'm gonna lose my mind my mind Can anybody tell me just where to find Any love any love Everyone needs a love no doubt Any love Any love Everybody feels alone without Any love any love I know there's a love waiting To enter my life enter my life Every day as I live I try to think positive I pray for someone good to come Any love
Love is sweet and so divine And I can't wait for my love life to shine to shine Can anybody tell me where I can find Any love any love Everyone needs a love no doubt Any love Any love Everybody feels alone without Any love any love I know there's someone waiting for me To enter my life Come into my life Suddenly I'm up in clear blue skies Lonely tears start to fill my eyes I can weep but I refuse to cry I've got to keep holding on I've got to think love is strong To keep holding on Everyone needs a love no doubt Any love Any love Everybody feels alone without Any love any love And I know I know I know I know she'll come into my life
Everyone needs a love no doubt Any love Any love Everybody feels alone without Any love any love
she'll come into my life into my life into my life Everyone needs a love no doubt Any love Any love Everybody feels alone without Any love any love
One look in your eyes, and there I see just what you mean to me Here in my heart, I believe your love is all I ever need Holding you close through the night I need you ... Yeah ... I look in your eyes, and there I see what happiness really means The love that we share, makes life so sweet Together we'll always be This pledge of love feels so right And ooh ... I need you ... (Chorus) Here and now - I promise to love faithfully You're all I need Here and now - I vow to be one with thee Your love is all I need When I look in your eyes, there I see all that a love should really be And I need you more and more each day Nothing can take your love away More than - ah - just a dream I need you (Chorus) Starting here ... Ooh ... I'm starting now I believe - Starting here (I believe) ... I'm starting here ... Starting now ... Right now I believe in your love, so I'm glad to take the vow (Chorus)
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home When there's no one there to hold you tight And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Whoa...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...Girl
A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom But a room is not a house and a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name And suddenly your face appears But it's just a crazy game When it ends, it ends in tears
Pretty little darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs and turn the key Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me yeah...
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs and turn the key Oh, please be there, still in love I said still in love Still in love with you, yeah...
Are you gonna be in love with me I want you and need to be, yeah Still in love with me Say you're gonna be in love with me It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby Couldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be Well, well, well, well Still in love, so in love, still in love with me Are you gonna be Say that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah... With me, oh Still in love with me, yeah...
I could write a book on love The way you make me feel I never knew someone Could have a love so real
Call it a special heart Call it a love so true But, in a little while I'm getting close to you
See, I'm about to lose my mind (Love is on the way) I'm so excited, it's a crime (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love Real love, oh love
Calling up all my friends To tell them how right they've been They said you would take me back into your arms again Gonna do right this time, I like the way it feels I don't wanna ask too much Just wanna feel you touch
See, I'm about to lose my mind (Love is on the way) I'm so excited, it's a crime (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love Real love, oh love
I'm all excited (Love is on the way) I'm so delighted (Love is on the way) 'Cause love is comin' (Love is on the way And I've been waiting for the day for love to come (Love is on the way) My heart is flyin' (Love is on the way) There's no denynig (Love is coming) Oh love
See, I'm about to lose my mind (Love is on the way) I'm so excited, it's a crime (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love Real love, oh love
I get a second chance today (Love is on the way) It's really true love and I can say (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love, real love
Well, I'm about to lose control (Love is on the way) 'Cause love is coming, don't you know (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love, real love
I know for sure that this is it (Love is on the way) Can't talk to you now, there's love to get (Love is on the way) It's gonna be real love, real love
Heaven knows I love you Heaven knows how much I care Couldn't live without you Look for me and I'll be there
But, even though you're a joy to me I think you think, "he's a bore to me" What your thing, am I still your guy? I'm so confused, my darling, I could die
You're the one on my mind Got me working overtime I only think about love and you Talk to me, don't be shy Heaven knows I really try to love you... I try to love you
Used to be amazing Used to make the world say "wow" Heaven brought us together That's how I know it'll all work out
We bulit our love on a solid ground And can't a thing ever bring us down Back together like we wanted to Forget me not, 'cause I remember you
You're still the one on my mind Love is working overtime I only dream about love and you Talk to me, don't be shy Heaven know I really try to love you... I try to love you, yeah
You're the one on my mind Got me working overtime I only think about love, don't you? Talk to me, don't be shy Heaven knows I really try to love you... I try to love you, baby
This is love that you can't ignore I never knew a girl like you before And heaven knows I couldn't love you more...
This is so right This is so right This is so right Because I love you I really love you, baby
Back together like we wanted to Forget me not, 'cause I remember you
Work, it can work Gonna work out, gonna work out Work, its going work Gonna work out, gonna work it out Work, its gonna work, 'cause I love Heaven knows and I know it can...
If you're tired and confused And you don't remember who you're talking to Your concentration slips away Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away
chorus And there's a rose in a fisted glove And the eagle flies with the dove And if you can't be with the one you love Honey, love the one you're with (that's right) Love the one you're with
Do do do do do do do do it x3
Turn your heartache right into joy She's a girl and you're a boy Get it together Make it tonight You aint gonna need any more advice
(chorus)
Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in My man, go ahead on Find somebogy, get somebody Love will still be right here when you get home For a night, get the love The eagles flying with the dove And if you can't be in love With the one you love Just love the one you're with
