Like the sweet morning dew,
I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride.
I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life for you.
I will go where you lead always there in time of need.
And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill.
There's no, no looking back for us, we got love sure 'nough, that's enough.
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me.
Darlin' in you I found strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door.
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher.
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal.
'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination.
You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more.
All, all the joys under the sun wrapp'd up into one.

Not every hope is a dream come true
Not every heart is made of steel
Not all love sees the end of time
And more hearts than not will be broken tryin'

But I believe that love is enough
In the healing of your touch
Because you show me
What it's all about
I would never find out
Unless you showed me

How easily we complicate the simple things
And one mistake we make along the way
Is to think there's so much more we need
Of things that time only takes away

Here all that we have is now
We learn to believe somehow
It's enough we have today
All I know is time changes everything
Whatever tomorrow brings
I will believe...

You give your hand to me then you say, 'Hello'
I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
Oh, anyone who can tell, you think you know me well
You don't know me 'cause you don't know

Dreams of you at night who longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight, to you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been, you don't know me

'Cause I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
Chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away, wish I'm that lucky guy
You'll never, never know the one who loves you so
You don't know me, no, no, no, you don't know me

(Michael McDonald And John Scott Sherrill)

You if anyone should know what time will tell
Not so long ago you taught me oh so well
Now your time has come
Someone took your place
(there's) no need to tell me that he's gone ('cause)
I can read it on your face

You learned that you could dream every night
You can try all you like
You can pray every day that it's enough
You can hope all you want
It's something to hang your faith on
But you can't make it love

There's no way love can grow
If only one is true
I would think that you should know
After all, I learned this from you
No matter how much one's in love
As long as one is lying
There ain't no amount of tears
There ain't no amount of trying

You learned that you could dream every night
You can try all you like
You can pray every day that it's enough
You can hope all you want
It's something to hang your faith on

Why'd you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be the one
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell

You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me

Oh darling
I want to be everything to you
You are everything
You are my everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Oh darling
I want to be everything to you
You are everything
You are my everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Oh darling
I want to be everything to you
You are everything
You are my everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Heavenly Father watching us fall
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well it's a dog-gone shame
But never too late for change
So if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name, His name

[Chorus:]
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Whenever you call

Never be lonely lost in the night
Just run from the darkness
Looking for the light
'Cause it's a long hard road
That leads to a brighter day, hey
Don't let your heart grow cold
Just reach out and call His name, His name

[Chorus]

(Yah mo b there)
You can count on it, brother
'Cause we're all just finding our way
Traveling through time
People got to keep pushing on
No matter how many dreams slip away
Yah will be there

Well it's a dog-gone shame
But never too late for change
So when your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name
Just call His name

Something deep inside, keeps me hangin' on
Don't believe I've ever seen a night so long
Guess I tried to fly high above the clouds
But I landed here in the mornin' rain at your door
And I know I let you down again
But right now you know I need a friend

I don't know why
I guess I just lose my way
And your eyes don't believe a word I say
I can't imagine without your love
Where would I be now

Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
And after all this time it remains true
There's no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the vail of my pride
Sometimes it's hard to see
And I know your love is all I need
So when I fall don't stop believing in me

'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
And without your love
Where would I be now

Well I know your love is worth fightin' for
And if it takes forever I will wait at your door
'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
And without your love

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby

What makes a man
Believe in a brighter day
When his whole world is fallin' apart
All promise is fading away
What does it take,
To turn his heart to stone
When he's got more than his share of riches
More than one life can hold

Sometimes it takes
More than we've got it seems
Something so close, so near
Even a blind man sees

If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a woman's sweet love
To make a man hold on

What makes a man
Hang his hope on someone
To bring the light out of darkness
Makes him believe a change is gonna come

Something inside that just won't let go
Something so simple, so sweet,
Even a fool would know

If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a woman's sweet love

To bring joy out of pain
To let sunshine through rain
To bring hope back to the heart
To bring together what's fallin' apart

She's got the kind of kisses
To make a weak man strong
She's got the kind of love
To make a good man go wrong
She's got what it takes

He came from somewhere back
in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what
he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
keeps sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
there's a place in her life
Someday somewhere
she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing

He came from somewhere back
in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what
he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe

She had a place in his life

He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by

Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by

Walk on by
Walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by

Walk on by
Walk on by

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair,

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus:]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

[Chorus]

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

[Chorus]

People say I'm the life of the party

Now I need your touch tonight
Nobody else will do
The time is right
Love's a game and we're both in it
Playin' for real, we will win it
Gonna show them how it's meant to be

We're gonna make it together
We're gonna tear it up
Take it to the limit girl
We're gonna make it together
We're gonna tear it up
Never see the finish

Now tomorrow seems so bright
The future's lookin' good for us
We have a chance
If our faith is true and we don't break it
No one else could ever shake it
What we have will last eternally

True love forever, shine your light this way
And we'll stay together
Passion is all it takes to make it real
And it's what we're feelin'

I know that you're afraid to love
You've been hurt before
Love broke your heart so you closed the door
Now here I am outside your world

Wishin' you'd let me in
Give me half a chance to prove you wrong
Baby, all your tears have come and gone
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start

Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's gonna be

It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world and tear it apart
Take it to heart, baby

You're gonna have to trust someone
It's a shame if you don't
Because it ain't no life living all alone
Let me show you how to love again

There's no broken heart that love won't mend
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start
I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side
So take this love of mine, take it to heart

Baby, believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong, baby

(love is a second chance to find all that we lost)
(Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost)
(I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone)
(Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong)

I know that you're afraid to love
You've been hurt before
Love broke your heart so you closed the door
Now here I am outside your world

Wishin' you'd let me in
Give me half a chance to prove you wrong
Baby, all your tears have come and gone
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start

Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's gonna be

It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world and tear it apart
Take it to heart, baby

You're gonna have to trust someone
It's a shame if you don't
Because it ain't no life living all alone
Let me show you how to love again

There's no broken heart that love won't mend
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start
I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side
So take this love of mine, take it to heart

Baby, believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong, baby

(love is a second chance to find all that we lost)
(Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost)
(I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone)
(Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong)

No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart

Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key
When you believe it

Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
Goin' all the way

Reachin' out to meet the changes
Touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back
From what I'm feeling

Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

'Cause there'll be starlight all night
When we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes tonight
They're guiding us
Shinin' till the mornin' light

Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

No more runnin' down the wrong road

We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

Oh, no no baby
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Oh, no no baby
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Oooo
No, no, no, no

No flowers where there used to be
Just on the table there
Just like you they're gone
And now the table's bare

Everywhere I turn
I see
Memories of a love so strong
This lonely room just echoes
Telling me you're gone

[Chorus: ]
It's not over yet
Each night in my dreams
You're back in my arms
Still here in my arms
Like you used to be
But each morning I awake
And I face reality
I'm still not over you
Getting over me

A foolish heart, like mine
Will always take for granted
That precious love like yours
Will wait till I come back

But too many times
I turned away
Leaving you to cry alone
But with every tear I'm learning
All the ways that I was wrong

[Chorus:]
I'm still not over you
And I'll never be
I'm still not over you
Getting over me

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)

Behind us now lies a long bending road
And at this point we wonder what we need to be
All this way like a single heart
Just so you know nothings really changed for me
For so long I watched you shine your light
I know hope is hard to find right now (but)

Someday you will
Someday you will

In every life the darkest days seem so long
Till the fear fades like the waning tide
The mornin' comes when the din in your head subsides
Just enough for the quiet voice inside
To point the way to the place where your strength lies
Though it might take a while to find

Someday you will...

On that day you'll spread your wings and fly
Although now you may not know why

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)

The birds are singing and the children are playing

(Darrell Brown And Michael McDonald)

So long ago that you can hardly remember
So far away but not so out of mind
And you're still waiting to be forgiven
Whose problem is it after all this time

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide, if I still wanna try
If love's gonna last, there's one thing I gotta find

I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm lookin' for understanding

I'm sorry that my feelings are still so tender
The things they make me do, and make me say
I know in time that all things get better
But 'til then this may be the price you have to pay

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide, what we're gonna do
If love's gonna last, there's something I need from you

So easily trust can be broken
Not so when a heart's got to mend
Your love was the one thing I believed in

Will it ever be the same again

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me

I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
a distorted reality.

Happiness you took from me
and left me alone
with only memories.

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
to the happy times
ooh when you were mine

AS I peer out through the window
of lost time
Looking over my yesteryear
And all this love I gave all in vain

(all the love) All the love I've wasted
(all those tears) All the tears that I've tasted
(ooh ,ooh) All in vain
(all in vain , till nothing remains)

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
and right before my eyes my world has turned to dust

After all those nights I sat alone and wept
Just a hand full of promises and all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
the way life used to be
Reflections of
the love you took from me
in you I put all my faith and trust
right before my eyes my world was turned to dust
Reflections of...

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me

I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
a distorted reality.

Happiness you took from me
and left me alone
with only memories.

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
to the happy times
ooh when you were mine

AS I peer out through the window
of lost time
Looking over my yesteryear
And all this love I gave all in vain

(all the love) All the love I've wasted

(all in vain , till nothing remains)

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
and right before my eyes my world has turned to dust

After all those nights I sat alone and wept
Just a hand full of promises and all that's left of loving you

Reflections of

Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
They flourish in this generation
Triumphantly.

[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic power,
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book.

[Chorus: x2]

All I we have
Redemption songs
All I we have
Redemption songs
All I we have
Redemption songs

Re-redemption songs
Redemption songs

Now if you feel that you can't go on
because all of your hope is gone,
and your life is filled with much confusion
until happiness is just an illusion,
and your world around is crumblin' down;
darling, reach out (come on girl, reach on out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you.
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through.
I'll be there to always see you through.

When you feel lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold,
and you're drifting out all on your own,
and you need a hand to hold:

reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, to love and comfort you,
and I'll be there, to cherish and care for you.
I'll be there to love and comfort you.

I can tell the way you hang your head,
you're without love and now you're afraid
and through your tears you look around,
but there's no peace of mind to be found.
I know what you're thinkin',
you're alone now, no love of your own,
but darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there, to give you all the love you need,
and I'll be there, you can always depend on me.

WHO ARE YOU
ARE YOU SOMEONE THAT I KNEW
OR DID YOU COME AND GO INSIDE A DREAM

WELL, YOU LOOK THE SAME
EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY YOU'VE CHANGED
YOU CAN'T HIDE THE SHAME OF A GUILTY HEART

CHORUS:
WELL, I KNOW THERE'S A REASON LOVE DON'T ALWAYS RHYME
SO YOU THINK BY LEAVIN' YOU'RE NOT WASTING PRECIOUS TIME
LOVE'S NOT ALWAYS HAPPINESS
SAD, BUT IT'S TRUE, GIRL
EVERY FOOL'S GOT TO LEARN HE'S GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
PLAYIN' BY THE RULES

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN
WILL YOU TRY JUST ONE MORE MAN
AND TRADE A THRILL THAT'S GONE FOR A BRAND NEW START

WILL YOU LOVE HIM ONLY
UNTIL YOU LEAVE HIM LONELY
WHEN HE TRIES TO CHANGE AND TAME YOUR RESTLESS HEART

CHORUS:

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEARN
THAT A LOVE IS EARNED
SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO FIGHT
BUT, OH, BABY-THAT'S ALL RIGHT

(Michael McDonald & David Pack)

Lost and lonely lives
Drifting like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by

In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever

[Chorus:]
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on its way

Shattered, hopeless dreams
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by

And with the strength that we spend in this life
In hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that

[Chorus]

In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell

[Chorus]

(Michael McDonald & David Pack)

Lost and lonely lives
Drifting like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by

In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever

[Chorus:]
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on its way

Shattered, hopeless dreams
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by

And with the strength that we spend in this life
In hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that

[Chorus]

In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell

[Chorus]

(Michael McDonald And Tommy Sims)

We're lost, baby that's ok
We may not always understand
We may not always know the way
We can cry and we can hurt sometimes
But we both know what's important
At the end of the line
It's not always the case that we know just what to do
But when it comes to me and you

[Chorus:]
We've both been here before
So let love open up the door
What love will surely show us
Ain't that what we came here for?
So let love open the door

Maybe it's time that we hold on tight
In each others embrace
We might just see the morning light
'cause when we touch
It's like a brand new start
It's there we find the music in each others heart
And we might just discover that we don't always see what's for real
Love is somethin' that you feel

[Chorus]

We've both been here before
So let love open up the door
What love will surely show us
Ain't that what we came here for?
It ain't nothin' new
Just a chance to finally see this love through
This love has one purpose (and)
Never asks for anything more
So let love open the door

Sometimes words only mean so much
They don't say how we feel
They don't keep us in touch
It's too late once we drift apart
All that's left are the pieces of two broken hearts

[Chorus]

Amy sings...
Love is sweet, love is kind
Love will open up your mind
Let love open up the door
All that counts, nothin' more
Love is what we came here for

Ooooo No Baby
You can't know Baby

From you, if I learned anything at all
It's just how long can be the distance

Hey to hard Baby
For your words to be not so hard to understand

After all this time, you still want my heart in your hand

So here I am on my knees left alone to pray

To be willing to let you go somehow, Baby
Only God can help me now

Yea Lord, Baby
Only God can help me now

For you I been on my knees so long
That my heart forgot the difference between right and wrong Baby

Here I am on my knees left alone to pray
Just to be willing to let you go somehow Baby...

Only God can help me now
Only God can help me now
Oh,,,
Oh...no Baby
Oooo Only God, Only God can help me now...

Here I am on my knees left alone to pray
For this I have no right over sense alone That I would lose this fight
To be willing to let you go somehow
Only God can help me now...yea..now Baby...Yea..now...Yea...Baby

Don't know Baby, I don't know how...cause I love you so...Oooooo

(Tom Whitlock And Chris Thompson)

To a restless heart, it's been a long time comin'
For a dreamers dream, I would keep on runnin'
I know it's right to be with you, save me

One step away from the promised land
Reach out and take my hand
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'

Through a lonely heart there's a fire burning
And the dream of dreams sees love returning
I know it's right to be with you forever

...one step, one step away
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'

SO MANY TIMES
SAID IT WAS FOREVER
SAID OUR LOVE WOULD ALWAYS BE TRUE

SOMETHING IN MY HEART ALWAYS KNEW
I'D BE LYING HERE BESIDE YOU
ON MY OWN
ON MY OWN
ON MY OWN

SO MANY PROMISES
NEVER SHOULD BE SPOKEN
NOW I KNOW WHAT LOVING YOU COST
NOW WE'RE UP TO TALKING DIVORCE
AND WE WEREN'T EVEN MARRIED
ON MY OWN
ONCE AGAIN
ONE MORE TIME
BY MYSELF
NO ONE SAID IT WAS EASY

BUT IT ONCE WAS SO EASY
WELL I BELIEVED IN LOVE
NOW HERE I STAND
I WONDER WHY I'M ON MY OWN
WHY DID IT END THIS WAY
ON MY OWN
THIS WASN'T HOW IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE
ON MY OWN
I WISH THAT WE COULD DO
IT ALL AGAIN
SO MANY TIMES
I KNOW I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU
LOSIN' YOU, IT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
YOU WALKED OUT AND THERE
WENT MY LIFE
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU

ON MY OWN
ONCE AGAIN
THIS WASN'T HOW IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE
ON MY OWN
I WISH THAT WE COULD DO
IT ALL AGAIN
ON MY OWN
I NEVER DREAMED I'D SPEND
ONE NIGHT ALONE
BY MYSELF

I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT
WAS MINE AGAIN
ON MY OWN
MY HEART IS SAYING THAT
IT'S TIME AGAIN
ON MY OWN
AND I THINK THAT
I'M AS SURE AS YOU

SO MANY TIMES
SAID IT WAS FOREVER
SAID OUR LOVE WOULD ALWAYS BE TRUE

SOMETHING IN MY HEART ALWAYS KNEW
I'D BE LYING HERE BESIDE YOU
ON MY OWN
ON MY OWN
ON MY OWN

SO MANY PROMISES
NEVER SHOULD BE SPOKEN
NOW I KNOW WHAT LOVING YOU COST
NOW WE'RE UP TO TALKING DIVORCE
AND WE WEREN'T EVEN MARRIED
ON MY OWN
ONCE AGAIN
ONE MORE TIME
BY MYSELF
NO ONE SAID IT WAS EASY

BUT IT ONCE WAS SO EASY
WELL I BELIEVED IN LOVE
NOW HERE I STAND
I WONDER WHY I'M ON MY OWN
WHY DID IT END THIS WAY
ON MY OWN
THIS WASN'T HOW IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE
ON MY OWN
I WISH THAT WE COULD DO
IT ALL AGAIN
SO MANY TIMES
I KNOW I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU
LOSIN' YOU, IT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
YOU WALKED OUT AND THERE
WENT MY LIFE
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU

ON MY OWN
ONCE AGAIN
THIS WASN'T HOW IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE
ON MY OWN
I WISH THAT WE COULD DO
IT ALL AGAIN
ON MY OWN
I NEVER DREAMED I'D SPEND
ONE NIGHT ALONE
BY MYSELF

I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT
WAS MINE AGAIN
ON MY OWN
MY HEART IS SAYING THAT
IT'S TIME AGAIN
ON MY OWN
AND I THINK THAT
I'M AS SURE AS YOU

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)

Starin' back at a room full of strange faces
I sense another welcome worn thin
A bartender sayin' "son take it outside"
"take it out the door you brought it in"
He said, he don't wanna hear about my problem
Or why I think I got it so tough
He said guys like me come a dime a dozen
That my only problem is knowin' when I've had enough
(but) how can I have too much?
How can I have to much of somethin' I can't get enough of?

You said it so well in your letter baby
You gave me every reason why
Girl you sure use a lot of paper, just to say good-bye
Well here's to the good times
Here's to the way we were
Here's to how you tried to be my lover
'till disaster struck
Now you wanna be a friend and tell me
I'm a man who simply needs too much
But how can I have too much?

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby,

Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby,

Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby.

If we could dream our lives away
That would be just fine
Without the cares and fears that prey on everybody's mind

Tryin' to get back to a memory
Tryin' to put the flame back in our hearts
As we look back and we see the past
Like it never was

[Chorus:]
'cause it's no such luck
There ain't no such thing
Can't blame the stars or fever of spring
No such luck
There ain't no such thing
Something's always goin' wrong

We're just one step ahead of the heartaches|
Tryin' to disguise how they take their toll
Just when you think that you got it down
Then you lose control

[Chorus]

(Michael McDonald)

Why do we look so hard?
Why do we ask so much?
In this world, it's sad in a way
How time unblesses love, and faith is lost

There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

Why do we want so much?
Can we be satisfied?
In this life how many times
Can we pass the promised land, forever lost?

There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride
Eventually, the day will come
When lies won't buy time
Tears won't bring hope
When there's no more prayin'...

Nowhere to run or do what we've done before
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride

Down here on loves killin' floor
I doubt if we could take much more
Here and now
(We)
Need to ask ourselves why
We've come this far only to find

The price of happiness we no longer pay
You gotta really love someone
Words alone are cheap, it's more of
What you do and less of what you say

Baby, I don't wanna live
In some prison of promises
Baby, look around at all this emptiness
There ain't no love to be found

With a love like this all broken and bruised
You just walk a way with nothin' to lose
Here and now
(We've)
Got to ask ourselves why
If love is through, then why even try

The price of happiness we no longer pay
You gotta really love someone
Words alone are cheap, it's more of
What you do and less of what you say

Baby, I don't wanna live
In some prison of promises
Baby, look around
It's all but hopeless know

Baby, look at you and me
This vision of loneliness any fool can see
The walls are tumblin' down
There ain't no love to be found

Take a look at you and me
This vision of loneliness baby any fool can see
That between you and me
There ain't no love to be found

I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin' at the speed of sight
I can't slow down

Out on the open road
Racing to beat the night
No matter where I go
Guess I'll get there all right

So why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up
It used to be a simple thing

I can't hold on, I can't return
Time to let go, start to live and learn

I took the one way flight
Too high to see the ground
Now I know how long it takes
A heart to come down

Why don't I understand what's trippin' me up
Oh, it ought to be a simple thing

I can't hold on, I can't return
Rivers will run, bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how
But there's no lookin' back now

I can't hold on, I can't return
Rivers will run, bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how
But there's no lookin' back now

I can't hold on, I can't return
Rivers will run, bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how
But there's no lookin' back now

No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now

(George Hawkins And Michael McDonald)

I try to see you clearly
But I just turn the other cheek
Though I love you dearly
I'm only losin' sleep
What am I supposed to learn
From a broken heart
What have you to gain
By tearin' my world apart
Don't you know that...

No amount of tears
Could ever wash away
No amount of heartache
Could ever make love fade
Girl there's nothin' I can do
I just can't quit loving you
And no amount of reason
Could change the way I feel

I should've heard the message
That you tried to send to me
For all its best intentions
Love gives no guarantee
What am I supposed to do
Now that you're gone
For all we've been through
Still I keep holdin' on
All I know is...

(Michael McDonald)

You say sometimes you feel like searchin'
For what you think you need
If you go searchin' for life's reward
You'll wind up sailin' the seven seas
'cause here and now when lightning strikes
And it drives us to our knees
Only then do we realize
What we don't always see

That even now in our darkesr hour
We've got the whole universe in our hands
Of all the choices we could make
If we do the lovin' thing

Someday when we look back on this
I doubt if we'll remember much
About the times we hurt each other
The reasons we forgot to trust
There's more to us than that

Sometimes I may try to be
Though I know I'm not your answer
But I'm not your problem either baby
In that way we're all the same
And I know if I surrender
It's a lesson we must learn
A simple truth we can understand

Someday when we look back on this
Far enough away to see
That the most we could ask of this life
The best that we can hope to be
Is to be grateful for love so clear
Like a mirror reflects your face
If you search for the tracks of your tears
I know you won't find a trace
There's more to us than that

Every single tear
Every shattered dream
They're just like pieces of a puzzle
Of themselves not what they seem
Even in our darkest hour
I doubt if we'll remember much
About the times we hurt each other
The reasons we forgot to trust

Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right

'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on...

Woo ah mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, where did all the blue skies go,
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me

Ah things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury, ah. oh

Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh,

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and land how much more abuse from man can she stand?

Woo ah mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, where did all the blue skies go,
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me

Ah things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury, ah. oh

Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh,

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and land how much more abuse from man can she stand?

(Michael McDonald)

Broken heart, bloodshot stare,
Signs of a fool who cared too much
Now she's gone and he can't remember
How to live without her touch
Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell
'cause when it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to

After all the whiskey and wisdom he could swallow
He thought it was time to start loving again
So he found someone and prayed his heart would follow
But he could hardly do more than pretend
And though she knew in her heart that his love was lie
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to

Well, of all the things love teaches
Of all the ways that it opens our eyes
No more profound than the lesson he learned
The day she walked out of his life
When the road gets most narrow
It's then he remembers her smile
And he sees these words forming on her lips
Across a river of tears he once cried

'cause when it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
No there is nothing a fool won't get used to

Thinking back over my years I guess I shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again 'This time I'm gonna win'
But in every fight things ain't right, losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice, start all over again

[Chorus]
Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.
Think I'd better let it go
Looks like another love T.K.O.

Tried to take control of love, love took control of me
Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser
Try to hold on, faith is gone, it's just another sad song

[Chorus: x2]

Tried to take control of the love, love took control of me
Cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things of a two-time loser
Try to hold on, the faith is gone, it's just another sad song


[Chorus: x4]

What's that lyin' on her pillow
Folded up so neat
What once was love is now a letter
Lying where she used to sleep
Oh, I thought love was something I could count on
But it took her to show me that

[Chorus:]
Love lies-right to your face
Love lies-just when I had faith
It would let me down
I know that love lies-right to the end
Love lies-I know the word will never mean the same to me

What's this emptiness inside me
Where her promise used to be
She said she'd be here to guide me
I guess now the joke's on me
Oh, I thought love was something like devotion
But it took her to show me that

[Chorus]

Just when you think you know what love is about
Someone takes your place, and you find that

[Chorus]

(Paul Carrack And Michael McDonald)

With a future as bright as we see
We got to go in with our eyes open wide
For as good as love can be
I can't help being afraid in the back of my mind
For all the dreams we see come true
Girl there's one thing that can't be denied

Baby, we've got a long road ahead
We haven't even started yet
Which makes it easy to forget

Baby, love can break your heart
I know it will baby
Love can break your heart
That's just the other side of it
Love can break your heart
So give it all you can give
'cause nothing short of that will do
So it's gotta be worth it to me
It's gotta be worth it to you

I know we can read all the signs
But after all only time's gonna tell

Girl, I'm not afraid to take a chance
Put my heart into your hands
As long as we both understand

...that's gotta be good enough for me
Girl that's gotta be good enough for you

So it's gotta be worth it to me
It's gotta be worth it to you

The sight of her ain't like before
For a lonely heart, you should feel much more
You left behind a time when dreams came true
And in this real and lonely world we only do what we can do

All night long that telephone rings
You remember how you loved that girl
Now you think it don't mean a thing
It keeps coming back so you turn away

Well, that's all behind you now
Like rollin' thunder
It just fades away somehow
As we get lost in the parade

Never tried to give
What she was looking for
And to a lonely heart
Love's an open door

All night long that telephone rings
You remember how you loved that girl
Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing
It starts coming back so you turn away

Well, that's all behind you now
Like rollin' thunder
You got to walk away somehow
And the rest just make their way

Well, that's all behind you now
Like rollin' thunder
It just fades away somehow
As we get lost in the parade

There aren't enough words to say
When all I mean is I no longer love you
I'd like to leave it lie right there
'cause the rest ain't kind

I'm picking up my pride and I'll be on my way
If you no longer need me
I only have a word or two that I care to say

If you should ever find your spirit breaking
Girl, when your heart is aching
Remember me, I was your fool
For really quite a long time
So I know how it feels to play
On the losin' end

When you finally turn and find no one around
To catch you when you're falling
To hear you when you're calling
From down on the losin' end
Oh, ain't it just the losin' end

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)

From a promise to a lie
From lies to regret
Turn your back on truth baby
And that's always what you get
A man could drown in a love so deep baby

I'm not beggin' you to stay
It's just lonely talk
You don't hear a word I say
You just turn and walk away baby
If I'm on my knees and prayin'
To the lord above
When he listens to my prayer
He knows that it's just lonely talk

Well, I call your name
And I cry all night
Well, it's of no concern to you baby
Now that I'm out of your sight
A man could drown in a love so deep baby

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain`t so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you`d best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

His sister`s black but she is sho `nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she`s got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

Her brother`s smart he`s got more sense than many
His patience`s long but soon he won`t have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don`t use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his love walking the streets of New York City
He`s almost dead from breathing on air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there`s no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don`t change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, just enough for the city!
Living For The City ~

(Michael McDonald And Chester Thompson)

From a house comes the sound of an infant crying
People stand and stare at the door
They dare not go in
Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body
Trying in vain to awaken the mother within

This chain of death has so many faces
From the frightened man to the pitiful child
Where is our deliverance here?
Will this not pass over?

[Chorus:]
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back
I won't go back to Kikwit Town
I won't go back

They would not give us my father's body
The men in orange suits started gathering 'round
They asked the names of all who live here
As they threw him down in hole and burned his house down

What have we done to deserve this?
God's wrath has surely come
He lets the devil walk among us
He lets death into our homes
Where is our deliverance here
From this demon loosed upon us?

[Chorus]

Is it not enough we live in this squalor?
Is it not enough these sacrifices we make?
Are we not entitled to some mercy
On this short journey we take?

[Chorus]

They said come down and answer all our questions
It's best for all if I turn myself in
But I know as sure as I walk through that hospital door
I will never see daylight again

What have we done to deserve this?
God's wrath has surely come
He lets the devil walk among us
He lets death into our homes
Where is our deliverance here
From this demon loosed upon us?

Where you gonna go,
Where are you gonna hide?
You go on leaving out your heart
And all it's saying deep inside.

I can feel your heart beat
You got me all wrong.
You don't have to worry
You just been lonely too long
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago -

[Chorus]
It keeps you running
It keeps you running etc.

I know how you feel
You know I been there
But what you've been keeping to yourself
Well you know it just ain't fair

Are you gonna worry
For the rest of your life
Why are you in such a hurry
To be lonely one more night?
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago -

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

Cause I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will flow into the mystic

Come on girl
Can you hear it
Come on girl
Into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic

I want to hear it
You don't have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul
Come on girl...

Hear the sailors cry
Into the mystic

HOW DO I PLEASE YOU

I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails
I know I loved her even then

You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey

She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years

I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years

I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey

All through thick and thin


Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby, ah!

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey, hey, hey

Oo baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
My baby needs me
Hey, hey, hey

Oo my baby loves me....
