One day
I may
Find true love that will last forever
And ever

Till then
I'll spend
A lifetime of wishing us together
I never thought she'd say goodbye
And I'll never understand
The reasons why

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now

Love plays
Cruel games
I can't believe she's found another
To love her

Does she
Miss me
Sometimes I just can't help but wonder
If I could stop the hands of time
Then I'd know she'd always be
Forever mine

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the the use in trying
No one can mend you now

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh if only things could work out like you plan

Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And so may love again

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will
Catch me if I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Somebody who will make it all right
Just give me the real thing

Where is the moon
Won't it smile
On just one more dreamer
Let your beams come down and fill my empty room

Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance that love can find me
I'll be here
Crossing my fingers

Repeat

I want to know for sure
That I can feel secure
Knowing I've found an everlasting love
Once I get that under control
Then I won't let go

Repeat

Wise men wait,
They'll always put their trust in fate.
Fools never take the time,
For love to really grow.
They just don't know.
And lonely dreamers,
Wonder if they will ever find romance.
My heart knew it,
Till you shot your arrow thru it.

For the first time,
Love is waiting at the door,
I've never felt this before.
Now I know the score.
Darling for the first time,
First time.

No more nights,
Of missing the essential things.
You've brought back to my life,
And everything you are, feels so right.
Oh lonely dreamer,
Did you ever think we would find romance?
Lets get started, putting both are hearts into it!

For the first time


Love is waiting at the door
There had to be something more
Now I know the score.
Darling for the first time, first time

I only want to do, the things that other lovers do.
And if you feel the same put your arms around me.
If your tired of being one who's just dreaming.

Oh lonely dreamers wonder if they will ever find romance.
My heart knew it, till you shot your arrow thru it.

For the first time
I know what I've been searching for
Their had to be something more
Now I know the score

Darling for the first time
Love is waiting at the door
I've never felt this before
Now I know the score,
Darling for the first time?

How can you say it's over
What can there be that we can't over come
Why do you turn away
Are you so afraid of needing someone
Didn't we say forever
I still believe feeling's strong enough
Before you walk away
Let me here
You say you don't need my love
Chorus :
Stay with me
Darling after all that we've been through
Nobody else can warm your lonely nights
No one's gonna love you like I do
Stay with me
Can't you see we've got too much to lose
Oh stay with me, stay with me baby please
Where is our happy ending
And all of our promises
Did you forget
Tell me what's the use in love if it can less
No I can't never let you live in this way
I want you to stay
Chorus
Got to make you stay somehow
Tell me what is gonna take it
I can't live without you
So please don't leave me now

I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find the love within
And I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
But I’m in a daze from your love you see
And I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of

What you won’t do
Do for love
You’ve tried everything but you won’t give up
In my world
Only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
But I’m in a daze from your love you see
And I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

And though I only want the best it’s true
I can’t believe the things I’d do for you

What you won’t do
Do for love
You’ve tried everything but you won’t give up
In my world
Only you

Make me do for love
What I would not do

I see you, in a lonely place
how can you be so blind
you're still regretting the love you left, left behind
oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
sitting alone each night
are you expecting to find a love, love that's right

darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you'll never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise

there are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by


oh darlin, there is a light that shines, special for you and me
you need to look at the other side
you'll agree

darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise
you may never find a love that's right

One day
I may
Find true love that will last forever
And ever

Till then
I'll spend
A lifetime of wishing us together
I never thought she'd say goodbye
And I'll never understand
The reasons why

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now

Cruel games
I can't believe she's found another
To love her

Does she

Sometimes I just can't help but wonder
If I could stop the hands of time
Then I'd know she'd always be
Forever mine

Heart of mine

I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do

Yeah..
Doo-doo-doo, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm..
Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo YO..

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, it hurts you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
.. to the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yo, yo, check it
It's important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side, oh darling
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you, it's love and happiness
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
it's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Digga-da, digga-da, digga-da, digga-digga-da-da
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

(I'll) take my chances.. before they pass..
.. pass me by, oh darling..
You need to look at the other side..
You'll agree..

You are so special to me
Loving you was surely meant to be
And when I'm feeling blue
You hold me close
You've always been so special to me *
When I think about my life
Before I met you
I'd wake up to this loneliness
And long for someone new
You have been the reason
For me to carry on
I can't imagine life at all
If your love was gone
* repeat
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do
There can be no other
I would compare to you
You have been the reason
For me to carry on
I can't imagine life at all
If your love was gone
* repeat
There could never be
Another love for me
' Cause you made my dreams come true
Love until the end
We'll be lovers, best of friends
Stay with me
Eternally

How long
How long have you been away
Oh how long
I can't find the words to say
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
My love
Will I ever make you see
That somehow
You are still apart of me
Maybe we can compromise
Cause our love just can't be disguised
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me

Come to me
Let me hold you
In my arms
Darling tonight
Come to me
Come to me
There's no need to stay
Alone this way
Baby come to me
Let me love you honey
Keep you warm
Holding you tight
Come to me
Come to me
All your cares will be history
Come to me
Come to me
I would never mistreat you
I would always, always be around
In this world you'll need someone
I will never let you down
Come to me
Let me love you honey
In my arms
Darling tonight
Come to me
Come to me
All your cares will be history
When you come to me

I guess you wonder where i`ve been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can`t let go


My friends wonder what is wrong with me
well I`m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can`t let go


Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won`t do, do for love
You`ve tried everything but you don`t give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do


But then I only want the best it`s true
They can`t believe the things I do for you
What you won`t do, do for love
You`ve tried everything but you don`t give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Maked me do for love what I would not do

When I was young
I used to play
On the sand by the bay
What I've got now
I'd give it all away
Just to have some fun
Life was all
I had a ship
And sailed it to the end
Why can't I go there again
Take me back to then
When life was mellow
Where we had golden sun
Take me back, I said
I can't continue
With the world I'm in
Playing in the park
Every afternoon
I've grown old
Far too soon
Someone please tell me why
I can't be made to see
What good's left in my life
Is this the end of me
Ther's a tear
For all the dreams
That I left behind
They'll always be on my mind

Left your mark
In a distant past
But somehow it's all gone now
Good things can never last
You are down for the third time
And you spent your change
Memories of your prime
Make life seem so strange
Through your life
You've been well-to-do
Times have changed
And rearranged
Now no one remembers you
You are down for the third time
And you spent your change
Daddy won't mind
When you rearrange your life

I see you, in a lonely place
how can you be so blind
you're still regretting the love you left, left behind
oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
sitting alone each night
are you expecting to find a love, love that's right

darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you'll never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise

there are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by


oh darlin, there is a light that shines, special for you and me
you need to look at the other side
you'll agree

darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
you may never find a love that's right
darling open your eyes
let me show you the light
girl you think you're so wise
you may never find a love that's right

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms, I'd go sailing

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond the doubt
My love will lead me there too

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy, we'll be, my love and me
And never again, I'll go sailing

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know, I know beyond the doubt
My love will lead me there too

We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy, we'll be, my love and me
And never again, I'll go sailing

Never again I'll go sailing
Yes, never again I'll go sailing

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes

If it's real when somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good and lean years
And for all those in between years, come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good and lean years
And for all those in between years, come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way

My story is much too sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is a case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't move me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

I get no kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
Yet I get a kick out of you

I get a kick everytime I see you standing there
Before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you

Smile, though your heart is breaking
Smile, even though it's aching

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your pain and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll find the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Allthough tears maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you'll just smile..

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you'll just smile.

How long
How long have you been away
Oh how long
I can't find the words to say
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame

Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
I've kept your picture on my shelf

I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me

Here comes the night
Once again
I'll be feeling lonely
Oh if only things could work out like you plan

Where can love be
Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody
Who will stand by me
And take the time to understand
And so may love again

I want the real thing
Or nothing at all
I need someone that I can be sure will
Catch me if I should fall
Someone who'll be there when I call
Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing
To warm me each night
Someone to love me over and over
Making the future bright
Somebody who will make it all right
Just give me the real thing

Where is the moon
Won't it smile

Let your beams come down and fill my empty room

Here comes the night
But if there's still a chance that love can find me
I'll be here

What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be fine?

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
