Bobby Caldwell

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way

Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Think of all you'll derive out of being alive
This is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Think of all you'll derive out of being alive
This is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
If you are among the very young at heart

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

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You?re thinking nothings wrong
You string along, boy, then snap
Those eyes, those sighs, they?re part of the tender trap

You?re hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there?s music in the breeze
You?re acting kind of smart
Until your heart just goes wap
Those trees, that breeze, they?re part of the tender trap

Some starry night
When his kisses make you tingle
He?ll hold you tight
And you?ll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that?s just a dot on the map

You wonder how it all came about
It?s too late now there?s no gettin? out
You fell in love and love is the tender trap

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that?s just a dot on the map

You wonder how it all came about
It?s too late now there?s no gettin? out
You fell in love and love is the tender trap

Is the tender trap

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..

Out of the tree of life
I just picked me a plum
You came along
And everything started to hum

Still it's a real good bet
The best is yet to come

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun
But you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm up's underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothing yet

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
The best is yet to come
Come, the day you're mine

Ooh, come the day that you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are right
For these arms to surround
You think you've flown before
But baby, you ain't left the ground

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothing like it here

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
The best is yet to come
Come, the day you're mine

Come, the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

Out of the tree of life
I just picked me a plum
You came along
And everything started to hum

Still it's a real good bet
The best is yet to come

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun
But you ain't seen it shine

Wait till the warm up's underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothing yet

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
The best is yet to come

Ooh, come the day that you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly

Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place

The best is yet to come
And babe, won't that be fine?
The best is yet to come
Come, the day you're mine

Come, the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

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

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
-Chommar, Ipiet, Ira, Hani -

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

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.

Smile, though your heart is breaking

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Allthough tears maybe ever so near

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.

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

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
