(m. riperton r. rudolph)
The reasons for my life are in a million faces Like aching promises I feel them in my bones Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road The reasons for my life are more than I can hold But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright You're not alone You're not alone The reasons for my life are buried in deep places Words once could awaken them These seeds that I have sown Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load The reasons for my life are more than I was told |

(m. riperton r. rudolph)
Everytime he comes around I feel like I'm on fire When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire Or the love I need to make my spirit whole How am I to know? Now I ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day Every time he comes around I get the funny feelin' What I'm looking for don't matter anyway Hey, it don't matter anyway 'cause every since I was a child I dreamed about my baby's smile It scares me so to say I wanna be with him in the worst darn way Cause every time he comes around I feel like I'm on fire When he whispers in my ear I start to lose control Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire Or the love I need to make my spirit whole How am I to know? Cause every since I was a child I dreamed about my baby's smile It scares me so to say I wanna be with him in the worst darn way Cause every time he comes around I feel like I'm on fire Mmmm, I lose control Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire Or the love I need to make my spirit whole |

I'm young willing and able ... to make you come apart at the seams I'm young willing and able ... think of me as peaches and cream Just step up to my table ... I'm servin' up a hunk-a-your dreams 'Cause I'm young willing and able ... baby you know what I mean Just say you want me to, and I'll supply for you 'Bout all the love your little heart desires And if you need a friend, well you can count me in What's more I'm able to light your fire I'm young willing and able ... too hot to trot I'm young willing and able ... What you want is what I got Just hook up to my cable ... if what it is, is what you thought 'Cause I'm young willing and able ... and baby I'm gettin' hot |

Two people, just meeting Barely touching each other Two spirits greeting Trying to carry it further You are one and I am another We should be one inside each other You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? Two strangers, not strangers only lacking the knowing So willing, feeling, infinite growing While we're here the whole world is turning We should be one Fulfilling our yearning You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? |

I stumbled on this photograph
It kinda made me laugh It took me way back Back down memory lane I see the happiness... i see the pain Where am i... back down memory lane I see us standing there Such a happy happy pair Love beyond compare Look-a-there look-a-there The way you held me... no one could tell me That love would die... why oh why Did i have to find this photograph Thought i had forgot the past But now I'm slippin' fast Back down memory lane I feel the happiness... i feel the pain Here am i... back down memory lane I'm in the sunshine... I'm in the rain I don't want to go traveling down Faster than the speed of sound Back down memory lane Be still my foolish heart Don't let this feelin' start Back down memory lane I don't want to go... save me save me |

It's a lazy afternoon
Just a kind of a day made for lovin' you Soon the evening breezes will start to blow Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go Ooh, I love the things you do And the way that I feel when I'm close to you I have dreamed so long, is it really so? Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go Off to wonderland... floating hand in hand Like in the movies everyone can tell that I'm in love with you I never knew what love could do My heart begins to pound whenever you're around I'm never coming down Oh No It's a quarter after two And there's no one around except me and you Well it's times like this that I'm living for Shall we turn the lights down and lock the door Baby don't stop... don't you dare no Just a little bit more we're almost there Any second now I'll explode Baby, grab your hat now 'cause here we go |

A tree, a rock, a cloud, a sky blue day A bird in flight, the night, the milky way Beta gammas, silk pajamas, sunday mornings You take my breath away You take it away Hello, good-bye, a sign that I love you A runny nose, a rose, the ocean blue Children playing, people praying,; hallelujah You take my breath away You take it away Sunny days, soft rain falling Crystal bells I love to hear ring, Summer days, blue birds calling Don't look now, but love's around to stay A tear, a smile, a laugh along the way The world at dawn, a song, the month of may Woody herman, ethel merman, stevie wonder You take my breath away You take it away |

Take a little trip through your mind and explore it
Take another trip on a magic carpet ride Take a little trip through your mind and explore it Take a closer look at the you, you're tryin' to hide You're the one who always wants to have your way And like the sky, it's you whose feelings change with every day And you think there's righteousness in all you say And you won't try to reach inside, so Take a little trip through your mind and explore it Take another trip on a magic carpet ride Take a little trip through your mind and explore it Take a closer look at the you, you're tryin' to hide You're the one who says the things you don't believe And when you need to be, you can't distinguish you from me And you think your lines have overall control But your mind can't see, for blindin' your soul, so Take a little trip through your mind and explore it Take another trip on a magic carpet ride Take a little trip through your mind and explore it Take a closer look at the you, you're tryin' to find |

Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful Makin' love with you is all I wanna do Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true And everything that I do is out of lovin' you La la la la la la la... do do do do do No one else can make me feel The colors that you bring Stay with me while we grow old And we will live each day in springtime Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful And every day my life is filled with lovin' you Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through And every time that we oooooh I'm more in love with you La la la la la la la... do do do do do" |

Will somebody wear me to the fair? Will a lady pin me in her hair? Will a child find me by a stream? Kiss my petals and weave me through a dream. For all of these simple things and much more a flower was born It blooms to spread love and joy faith and hope to people forlorn Inside every man lives the seed of a flower If he looks within he finds beauty and power Ring all the bells sing and tell the people that be everywhere that the flower has come Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice for the darkness is gone Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born |
