I'll Make Love To You

Verse:
Close your eyes, make a wish
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate, all thru the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I submit to your demands
I'll do anything, girl you need only ask

Chorus:
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to

Verse:
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready, it's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I'll do

Chorus

Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life

Come On Come On

 He Thinks He'll Keep Her

She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
She said forever with a smile upon her face

She does the carpool, she PTAs
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every Christmas card showed a perfect family

CHORUS
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish 'til it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, the safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her

She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at the door
She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore

CHORUS

For 15 years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage

CHORUS
(At least until you change your mind)

All I Wanna Do

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere, apropos
Of nothing. He says his name's William but I'm sure
He's Bill or Billy, Mac or Buddy, he's plain ugly to me.
And I wonder if he`s ever had fun in his life.
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts and suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store,
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me.

Chorus:
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud and shred them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
Before blowing and cursing them out - and he's watching
The Buds as they spin on the floor
A happy couple enters the bar dangerously close
The bartender looks up from his want ads.

Chorus

Otherwise the bar is ours, and the day and the night
And the car wash too, the matches and the Buds
And the clean and dirty cars, the sun and the moon.

Chorus

(Wyn Cooper, Sheryl Crow, Bill Bottrell, David Baerwald, Kevin Gilbert)

 Love Sneaking Up On You

 Rainy Night, I'm All Alone 
Sittin' Here Waitin' For Your 
Voice on the Phone 
Fever Turns to Cold, Cold Sweat 
Thinkin' About the Things We Ain't Done yet 

Tell me now, I've got to know, 
do you feel the same 
Do you just light up at the mention of my name? 

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new 
That's just love sneakin' up on you 
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do 
That's just love sneakin' up on you 

Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide 
Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side 
And you might as well try to Stop the Rain 
Or stand in the tracks of a Runaway Train 
You just can't fight it when a thing's meant to be 
So come on let's finish what you started with me 

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new 
That's just love sneakin' up on you 
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do 
That's just love sneakin' up on you

 Streets Of Philadelphia

 Words and Music by Bruce Springsteen 

I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell 
what I felt 
I was unrecognizable to myself 
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know 
my own face 
Oh Brother are you gonna leave me 
wastin' away 
On the streets of Philadelphia 

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone 
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone 
At night I could hear the blood in my veins 
Black and whispering as the rain 
On the streets of Philadelphia 

Ain't no angel gonna greet me 
It's just you and I my friend 
My clothes don't fit me no more 
I walked a thousand miles 
Just to slip this skin 

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake 
I can feel myself fading away 
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss 
Or will we leave each other alone like this 
On the streets of Philadelphia

 Said I Love You

 SAID I LOVE YOU..BUT I LIED by M. Bolton 

You are the candle, love's the flame 
A fire that burns through wind and rain 
Shine your light on this heart of mine 
Til the end of time 
You came to me like the dawn through the night 
Just shinin' like the sun 
Out of my dreams and into my life 
You are the one, you are the one 

Chorus: 

Said I loved you but I lied 
Cause this is more than love I feel inside 
Said I loved you but I was wrong 
Cause loved could never ever feel so strong 
Said I loved you but I lied 

With all my soul I've tried in vain 
How can mere words my heart explain 
This taste of heaven so deep so true 
I've found in you 
So many reasons in so many ways 
My life has just begun 
Need you forever, I need you to stay 
You are the one, you are the one 

Chorus 

You came to me like the dawn through the night 
Just shinin' like the sun 
Out of my dreams and into my life 
You are the one, you are the one 

Chorus 

Said I loved you 
But this is more than love I feel inside 
Said I loved you...But I lied

 Can You Feel The Love Tonight

There's a calm surrender 
To the rush of day 
When the heat of the rolling world 
Can be turned away 

An enchanted moment 
And it sees me through 
It's enough for this restless warrior 
Just to be with you 

And can you feel the love tonight? 
It is where we are 
It's enough for wide eyed wanderer 
That we got this far 

And can you feel the love tonight 
How it's laid to rest 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best 

There's a time for ev'ryone 
If they only learn 
That the twisting kaleidoscope 
Moves us all in turn 

There's a rhyme and reason 
To the wild outdoors 
When the heart of this starcrossed boyager 
Beats in time with yours 

And can you feel the love tonight? 
It is where we are 
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer 
That we got this far 

And can you feel the love tonight 
How it's laid to rest? 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best 
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds 
Believe the very best

 Prayer For The Dying

(Seal/Isidore) 1994 

Da da, da da 

Ah, ho-oo-oh-oo 

Fearless people, 
Careless needle. 
Harsh words spoken, 
And lives are broken. 

Forceful ageing, 
Help me I'm fading. 
Heaven's waiting, 
It's time to move on. 

Crossing that bridge, 
With lessons I've learned. 
Playing with fire, 
And not getting burned. 
I may not know what you're going through. 
But time is the space, 
Between me and you. 
Life carries on... it goes on. 

Just say die, 
And that would be pessimistic. 
In your mind, 
We can walk across the water. 
Please don't cry, 
It's just a prayer for the dying. 
I just don't know what's got into me. 

Been crossin' that bridge, 
With lessons I've learned. 
...learned............... 

Playing with fire, 
And not getting burned. 
...burned burned... 

I may not know what you're going through, 
But time is the space, 
Between me and you. (L) 

There is a light through that window 
...light through that window... 
Hold on say yes, while people say no 

Life carries on 
...on on on... 
Ohh! 
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh... 

I'm crossing that bridge, (L) 
With lessons I've learned.... (L) 
I'm playing with fire, (L) 
And not getting burned.... (L) 
I may not know what you're going through. 
But time is the space, 
Between me and you. (L) 
There is a light through that window. (L) 
Hold on say yes, while people say no 

'Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on... 
It goes on....oh-ee-on, 
It goes on. 
Whoah. 
Whoah. 
Life carries on. 

When nothing else matters. 

When nothing else matters. 

I just don't know what's got into me. 

It's just a prayer for the dying. 
...dying dying dying dying... 

For the dying.

 Love The One You're With

There's a Rose 
In a fisted Glove 
and the eagle flies with the dove 
and if you can't be with the one you love 
it's alright 
Go ahead and love the one, love the one, love the one your with 
love the one, love the one, love the one your with 

If your guy can't come to you 
and you don't remember who your talking to 
your concentration slips away 
because your baby, she is so so far away 

chorus: And there's a rose in a fisted glove 
and the eagle flies with the dove 
and if you cant be with the one you love 
love the one your with 

Don't be angry 
don't be sad 
Don't sit cryin' for good times you had 
There's a girl right next to you 
and she's waiting for something to do 

chorus 

Do it 
do it 
do it 

Turn your heartache into joy 
She's a girl and your a boy 
get together, make it tonight, 
you ain't gonna need no more advice 

chorus 

Just love the one your with

 Hero

There's a hero 
If you look inside your heart 
You don't have to be afraid 
Of what you are 
There's an answer 
If you reach into your soul 
And the sorrow that you know 
Will melt away 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you 

It's a long road 
When you face the world alone 
No one reaches out a hand 
For you to hold 
You can find love 
If you search within yourself 
And the emptiness you felt 
Will disappear 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you 

Lord knows 
Dreams are hard to follow 
But don't let anyone 
Tear them away 
Hold on 
There will be tomorrow 
In time 
You'll find the way 

And then a hero comes along 
With the strength to carry on 
And you cast your fears aside 
And you know you can survive 
So when you feel like hope is gone 
Look inside you and be strong 
And you'll finally see the truth 
That a hero lies in you

The Colour Of My Love

 The Power Of Love

 (Gunther Mende, Candy DeRouge, Jennifer Ruch, Mary Susan Applegate) 

The whispers in the morning 
Of lovers sleeping tight 
Are rolling like thunder now 
As I look in your eyes 

I hold on to your body 
And feel each move you make 
Your voice is warm and tender 
A love that I could not forsake 

(first chorus) 
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man 
Whenever you reach for me 
I'll do all that I can 

Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms 
When the world outside's too 
Much to take 
That all ends when I'm with you 

Even though there may be times 
It seems I'm far away 
Never wonder where I am 
'Cause I am always by your side 

(repeat first chorus) 

(second chorus) 
We're heading for something 
Somewhere I've never been 
Sometimes I am frightened 
But I'm ready to learn 
Of the power of love 

The sound of your heart beating 
Made it clear 
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on 
Is light years away 

(repeat first chorus) 

(repeat second chorus)

Longing In Their Hearts

 Longing In Their Hearts

Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine 
He's a short order cook 
Long on speed, short on spice 
He reads his customers like a book 
He's seen this, and he's done that 
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art 
But there's one thing he can't fix no how 
There's a longing in his heart 

He's tried for years to work it out 
At the grill and at his home 
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself 
He talks the chicken right off the bone 
Talks to his woman and she understands 
You know they're always eye to eye 
She runs the join, They live out back 
Small House under a Big sky 

Well even the stars at night agree 
The sky is falling apart 
She knows cause she can feel it too 
There's a longing in her heart 
A longing in her heart 
Longing in her heart 

Well now you and me, we're just like them 
We never wanted to be alone, 
so we made a pact, sealed with desire 
for a happier house and home 

Only to find it doens't untie 
The know where feelings die 
There's a longing deep inside our hearts 
And no one to tell us why 
 

Our friends aren't looking for anything new 
They wouldn't know where to look 

Well her, whe like running the join 
And he likes being a cook 
Together they're doing very well 
They're might glad they could 
But theres a fire burning towards them now 
Coming from a distant wood

And eve the stars at night agree 
that the sky is falling apart 
We know 'cause we can feel it too 
There's a longing in our hearts
