And when I thought
my flame was out You entered in I look around I feel the same as before I'm on the ground I'm dreaming away, but you know I would trade all of my daydreams for some wings A sparrow sings The thrill was gone But like the summer The spring Will bring the dawn And I'll be singing your song For a wondrous new change is Taking me up to heaven Your sweet love - brighter than light - Streaking like a starship - Your sweet love - brightens the night - Gleaming down on our ship Your sweet love - making me realize That heaven is right here in your eyes I look around It's not the same as before I'm on the ground But now I'm singing your song For this wondrous new change Is taking me up to heaven CHORUS: (Instrumental and Voice) And when I thought my flame was out You entered in I thank the stars But you know as often I thank the things you are And all I offer Just longs for that wondrous new change That's taking me up to heaven CHORUS: CHORUS: I found my lucky star Was gleaming nightly Your love in starlight Screaming 'round the bend |

IIt's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide,oh why I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned oo So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the things is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen |

You don't see me when I'm
trying to do right Maybe you can see me now When I was walking, patting my feet on the pavement Really, truly trying to find a gig Did you stand up and speak out in my favor? Cold desperation, she's a devil in bed Scratching till my bones are bare Pill and needles are all I've left to savor We were walking and I told you of how my shoes Of how my shoes were wearing thin You took your surplus and traded for a favor Now I'm demented and I'm burned unto a cinder Forty hours buys a grocery bag for trash I took my pistol and I made myself a sinner Will this universe be merciful at last? You don't see me. You don't see me I get so tired of trying to attract your attention It has occurred to me that you don't see me You should go ahead. I'm a-gonna-go-ahead I know you're going to ahead You're going to do what you're going to do I know, see, I see you, I watch you You take the money and run You take groceries and run, too Don't leave nothing left for me You're running and hiding and ducking and hiding And running and hiding and I can't find you nowhere I'll beat your mama, I'll beat your daddy I'll go to jail, it don't make no mothafugging Difference what happens to me Going to be there in my own time, in my own way Cause you don't see me, you don't see me I'm, I'm in your mirror. |

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight We're walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say are you married? We'll say, no man But you can do the job while you're in town Later on we'll conspire As we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland We'll be walking in a winter wonderland (In a winter) Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland Walking (In a winter) Walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman Until the other children knock him down When it snows, ain't it thrilling? Though your nose be, be so chilling Frolic and play the Eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland We'll be walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland, wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland We'll be walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland We'll be walking |

In her own sweet world
Populated by dolls and clowns And a prince and a big purple bear Lives my favorite girl. Unaware of the worried frowns That we weary grown-ups all wear. In the sun she dances To silent music-songs That are spun of gold Somewhere in her own little head Then one day all too soon She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll And her prince & her silly old bear. When she goes they will cry As they whisper good-bye They will miss her I know but then so will I. Earrings made of shoestrings Barbie dolls with blue jeans Makin' cross eyes Shakes me when I'm sleepin' Did you ever see A kitten with an apron on Stop 'n start his stereo When she knows her brothers down the hall runnin' 'round and skippin' 'round Because she's so, She's so inspired Then she's tired Please put me jammies on Daddy look at the rain Can I go and play in the rain In the sun she dances To silent music-songs That are spun of gold Somewhere in her own little head Then one day all too soon She'll grow up & she'll leave her doll And her prince & her silly old bear When she goes they will cry As they whisper good-bye They will miss her I know But then so will I. |

I want to know the places that you go when you're all alone.
And I want to see all the secrets that you keep when you're not with me. And I'll open the treasures of love deep in my heart. CHORUS: And I promise I'll hold you close to me. I'll write you a song with words so sweet And I'll sing to you the melody, 'Til you Love me. Tell me your dreams And every wish that I might grant for thee. Open your heart and let me fill you up with everything you need. And we'll walk step by step, you and me in harmony. CHORUS X 1 Show me the key And I'll write a symphony for you and me. Words can't explain how much your love means to me. CHORUS X 3 |

When it appears your love is finally on the line,
And you can't hold it back much longer And when it seems as though you're runnin' out of time, That's the time you should be stronger, Well, if you care about her - don't you ever doubt her love, Would you turn around and throw it all away, Just let her know today. Chorus: That it looks like trouble in paradise, And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice, Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again. May you always have somebody to depend on, And may your days be celebrations, And may there always be an angel on your shoulder, To cut that awkward situation. And if you love each other - you'll never need another, oh no, When the whole wide world has finally got you down, She'll still be around. Chorus: That it looks like trouble in paradise, And you're burnin' alone, that's cold as ice, Go out and find a flame - so you can warm it up again. (repeat and fade) |

I watch the snow flakes fall
Against my window pane And wonder if you Are watching snow flakes too I take a walk downtown To where you used to meet me There's joy everywhere But all that's waiting there Is just a little Christmas tree Looking sorta sad n' lonely just like me No one seems to care They just went away And left it standing there All alone on Christmas eve I hear the Christmas bell The happy people singing The songs of good cheer That only brings me tears I sadly close my eyes And say a little prayer You'll be waiting there for me I look but all I see Is just a little Christmas tree Looking sorta sad n' lonely just like me No one seems to care They just went away And left it standing there All alone on Christmas eve This is the season of love But I'm as sad as I can be Why did you have to leave me? Oh, little Christmas tree Looking sorta sad n' lonely just like me No one seems to care They just went away And left it standing there All alone on Christmas eve |

Take Five
Stop your busy day And take the time out To see if I'm alive Though I'm going out of my way Just so I can pass by each day Not a single word do we say It's a pantomime and not a play Still, I know our eyes often meet I feel tingles down to my feet When you smile, that's much too discreet Sends me on my way Wouldn't it be better Not to be so polite You could offer a light Start a little conversation now It's alright, just take five Just take five |

Now it was a hot sticky morning
'Round the Fourth of July The breeze was standing still I'm hanging out by myself And I'm having a good time With the folk inside my head And you know, Lord, how you did a lovely thing See, times my head is lighter than it's ever been And anyone who's ever had sweet potato pie Don't want pumpkin again, no, they don't want 'Cause it don't taste right, no Look-a-here city boy with your silks and braided hair Don't you let nobody fool you with no imitation nothing Tell 'em, say, unh, unh, buddy, I been there Listen mama, when you finally walk on in Don't forget to bring along your sweet potato tin 'Cause when you serve him a slice of your sweet potato Sin, girl, he won't want pumpkin again, no, he won't want Now I took a trip down to Sissy's She's a friend of mine She smiled and asked me in Well, she drew a box and a big, fancy question mark Said, "Brother, which one is you in?" I told her, "Sister, don't worry 'bout the mule going blind You just sit in the wagon and hold on to the line 'Cause anyone who's ever had sweet potato pie Don't want pumpkin again, really don't want" Now I saw the gates gold and pearl And I sat right down in a dream of you, old friend I'm thinking some milk and honey and a pot of stew Might fill that gap again You know, I'm a thankful witness to the things I've seen And times my head is lighter than it's ever been And anyone who's ever had sweet potato pie Really don't want pumpkin again, no they won't want Would you give me some sweet potato y'all |

to a party over yonder Susan wants to take me to her heart It's a arm and tender place there, do you know Susan, I've been living here in this fortress And it's filled with armor And sometimes celebrations lose their charm Susan do you mind, sometimes I'm restless Rolling on the floor in pain and woe After all the precious gifts you will gladly give to me, girl I may blindly lock and bolt the door Baby, sweet baby I'll truly love you through my years Well it's just that sometimes by midnight light I'm frightened by my fears But if you could just hold me, warm me, girl The way you did today And tenderly anoint my eyes Then I may see the way Susan, baby, take me to that party 'Way over yonder Tell me, Susan, do you mind Come on, Susan, take the time Tell me, Susan, do you mind If I've been blind a long time? I been blind a long time Sometimes, see, if you're not careful A little hurt, pain in your heart Will make you blind Blind to the real thing, once it comes along Honey, can you wait, baby Can you wait for me, till I get this thing together? I been blind, I been blin, blind a long time Sweet Susan, take the time, girl Susan, can you understand If I say I love you, baby Tell me, Susan, mama, do you mind? Girl, I been blind. |

Ever since I made up my mind And I'm swaying with the wind From my left to my right Everyone's pretending They don't wanna see me fall But I never let 'em touch me at all Sometimes I get weary All alone in a faceless crowd They can't hear me When I cry out loud I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world I've been staring out my window Ever since it started to rain And the raindrops look like teardrops On my windowpane I'm so tired of waiting, waiting For the sun to come around Gonna button up my coat And head downtown Sometimes I get weary All alone in a faceless crowd They can't hear me When I cry out loud Sometimes I get weary All alone in a faceless crowd They can't hear me When I cry out loud I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world Sometimes I get weary All alone in a faceless crowd They cant hear me When I cry out loud Sometimes I get weary All alone in a faceless crowd They can't hear me When I cry out loud I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world I'm searching for a superfine love In a lonely world |

sweet feeling last There is a way to be sheltered when the wind is free There is a way my father taught me how to sing And I sing my song every day now And it won't take much of your time Really won't take much of your time No, it won't take much of your precious time Just to get the spirit deep in your bones You really got it, talking about the spirit You got it, deep in your bones, you really got it There is a way to make the mountains cry Suh a way to be comforted, sweet mystery There is a way my father taught me how to live my life And I do that every day There is a way to make sweet feeling last There is a way to be comforted, sweet mystery There is a way my father taught me how to do it Do it to it, when I wanna do it to it. |

Just a photograph of yesterday and all it's edges folded and the corners faded sepia brown and yet it's all I have of our past love a post script to it's ending Brighter days I can see such brighter days when every song we sang is sung again and now we know we know this time it's for good and we're lovers once again and you're near me I can remember the rain in december the leaves of brown on the ground in Spain I did love and adore you the nights filled with joy were our yesterdays and tomorrow will bring you near me I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays yes today, I can say I get a kick every time they play that spain again I can remember the rain in december the leaves of brown on the ground Our love was a spanish fiesta the bright lights and sounds were our joy each day and the nights were the heat of yearning I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays yes today, I can say I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me I see moments of history your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody and we live again as if dreaming the sound of our hearts beat like castanets and forever we'll know their meaning I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays yes, today, I can say I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me (music solo) You gaze at me I see moments of history your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody and we live again as if dreaming the sound of our hearts beat like castenets and forever we'll know their meaning I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays yes today I can say I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me be do de (scat solo) You gaze at me I see moments of history your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody and we live again as if dreaming the sound of our hearts beat like castanets and forever we'll know their meaning I can remember the rain in december the leaves of brown tumbling down in spain I did love and adore you the nights filled with joy were our yesterdays and tomorrow will bring you near me I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our yesterdays yes today I can say I get a kick every time you sing that spain whoa, whoa, oh yeah |

from Al Jarreau - Christmas (2008)
Some children see him
Lily white The baby Jesus Born this night Some children see him Lily white With tresses soft And fair Some children see him Bronzed and brown The Lord of heav'n To Earth come down Some children see him Bronzed and brown With dark And heavy hair Some children see him Almond-eyed This savior whom We kneel beside Some children see him Almond-eyed With skin Of yellow hue Some children see him Dark as they Sweet mary's son To whom we pray Some children see him Dark as they And, ah They love him, too The children In each diff'rent place Will see The baby Jesus' face Like theirs But bright With heav'nly grace And filled With holy light O lay aside Each earthly thing And with thy heart As offering Come worship now The infant king 'Tis love That's born tonight |

오 늘 같 은 이 기 분 … 저 도 제 자 신 을 이 해 할 수 가
없 습 니 다 。아 름 다 운 음 악 으 로 나 를 부 드 럽 게 달 랠 수 밖 에 없 습 니 다 .아 무 리 잊 으 려 해 도 잊 혀 지 지 가 않 아 요 . 나.....정 말 왜 이 러 죠 ? |

wedn'sday morning at five o'clock
as the day begins silently closing her bedroom door leaving the note that she hoped would say more she goes down the stairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief quietly turning the backdoor key stepping outside she is free. she (we gave her most of our lives) is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives) home ( we gave her ev'rything money could buy; bye bye) something inside that way always denied for so many years she's leaving home; bye bye. father snores as his wife gets info her dressing gown picks up the letter that's lying there standing alone at the top of the stairs she breaks down and cries to her husband "daddy, our baby is gone" why would she treat us so thoughtlessly how could she do this to me?. she ( we never thought of ourselves) is leaving ( never a thought of ourselves) home ( we struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye) something inside that was always denied for so many years she's leaving home; bye , bye. friday morrning at nine clock she is far away waiting to keep the appointment she made meeting a man from the motor trade. she (what did we do that was wrong ) is having ( we didn't know it was wrong) fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy; bye bye) something inside that was always denied for so many years she's leaving home ; bye, bye |

from Al Jarreau - All I Got (2002)
Somewhere out there,
Past the rainbow, Beyond the moon and the stars, We found Love. Now it's ours my Lady. A gift to cherish. Sent down from heaven above. And I'm-I'm so thankful, baby. That I've got you. And I'm so glad- I don't know why, I deserve you baby. I won't question it. I'll just have faith, oh. CHORUS: I believe, That we'll never really figure out the mystery That's behind all of the joy we're feelin'. I can see, that some things are beyond understanding. These are the secrets of Love. Secrets of Love. Like a feather falling, from the blue sky. It twists and turns as it passes us by. Somehow it found us. Now we can hold it And make a wing if we try. And we'll fly away baby. No matter where the winds of fate will take us. CHORUS X 1 And we'll fly away baby. No matter where the winds of fate will take us. CHORUS X 1 |

Number one is the clock track is runnin' darlin'
Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin' Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin' Scootcha-booty bottom move Scootcha-booty bottom move Stumblers stumblin' they gonna stumble on it Bumblers bumlin' will bumble 'til they've found it No more slumberin' get out from under darlin' Scootcha-booty bottom move Scootcha-booty bottom move I seen some lessons in that new school, so cool You never laugh or smile or grin The same expression if they boo you Now if that ain't the time to laugh you've gotta tell me when Paint some flowers on your wagon To help yourself to laugh and grin Pick up them trousers kid they're saggin' And don't bite snap when you rap and someone will let you in Number on is the track is runnin' darlin' Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin' Summer's gone in the distance runnin' darlin' Scootcha-booty bottom move Scootcha-booty bottom move Computers workin' but I'm starvin' I'd to show it how to sweat Before it's over we'll be farmin' You know that just might be the best thing to happen yet Number one is the track is runnin' darlin' Drummer's drummin' the pulse is pumpin' darlin' Somethin's comin' to get you up and runnin' Scootcha-booty bottom move Scootcha-booty bottom move |
