"Never Givin' Up"

"Never Givin' Up"

I've been afraid that I had missed the
chance of a lifetime
And by the way
I've tumbled with romance, girl,
And I don't cry-
But now I'm

Searching every star
(I go on)
Searching near and far
(every dawn)
'Til I find our one
Spirit flying high-
Flying high,

I'll never give it up,
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up-
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up,
Never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content in time

I'm gonna be content in time

And so today, I think I'll take the
chance of a lifetime
And by the way,
I'm falling for romance girl,
and I don't mind
How much I cry

I'm reaching for the sun
(angels sing)
Love has just begun
(who would think)
Two could turn to one
Spirit flying high-
Flying high

Never gonna give it up...
No no no-no, not I

"Never Too Late"

"Never Too Late"

Anybody tell me
Just what I've been doing wrong.
They say it's not forever.
But forever's less than too long.

Those doubts before
And tremblin' at the door will fade.
When you learn to say, it's...

[CHORUS:]
Never too late to fall in Love.
Just wait, you'll find it.
Open the gate, you're stronger now.
Just wait, just wait to fall in Love.

Many people tell me
There's a mystery in this song.
When you hold your breath unending
Getting' tired and weak you break down.

Hold on to you.
Your heart will know the truth one day.
When you learn to say, it's...

[CHORUS: X1]

Turnin' ice cold night into day.
These are the words I've been learnin' to say,
Never too late.

[CHORUS TO FADE]

"No Ordinary Romance"

"No Ordinary Romance"

So glad you thought about it
Sometimes we need to talk about it
If there's a need please shout it
I want there to be no doubt that

This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress

By your side I could
Withstand any pressure
Oh, it is so hypnotic
I used to only dream about it
Now I don't have to doubt it
Unquestionably sure
Strong and secure that

This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress

Never believed it could happen to me
Two people living their lives as one
'cause

This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress

I've got you and you've got me
And I know it's plain to see that

This ain't
No ordinary romance
And no emotional distress

"No Rhyme, No Reason"
(feat. Kelly Price)

"No Rhyme, No Reason"
(feat. Kelly Price)

Girl, just take some time
Let me try to find the words I wanna say to you
I been searchin' my mind
I got to find the reasons I feel the way I do
Let me emphasize that I recognize
What I should and should not do
And though I know it's wrong
Every now and then I phone
Just to talk to you

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

Sometimes you cross my mind
And I don't know why
But I hear from you
And though I want to stay close
I realize the most we'll ever be is good friends
I got kids at home
I can't leave them alone
This I'm telling you
I've got another life
'Cause I still love my wife
Though I still want you

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose
Even when you trust your heart

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

"Not Like This"

"Not Like This"

Not like this without a single tear
We can't just walk away as if
it never happened

Our kind of love has never
talked in whispers
So if it's time to go,
let's do it right and go out loud

But not like this without
a backward glance
Did all our feeling die
the moment love was over
Well, not in me 'cause
I still feel you in my soul

So I will leave you
tenderly or bitterly
But not like this

"Oasis"

"Oasis"

Don't talk about religion.
Someone says I gotta run.
Quicksilver wing express, compresses time.
They'll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.

[CHORUS:]
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) you run Johnny, run.
Tell them it's easy (you'll see it),
When your heart is light and young.
Stepchild to lead us,
The procession's begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun.

Don't talk about the weather.
Why the salmon didn't run.
We'll watch the children play, through filtered light.
The emerald green sequoias, just a statue made of bronze.
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by.

[CHORUS X2]

Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sun...

"Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

"Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

Oh, come ye
O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

God of God
Light of light
Lo, he abhors
Not the virgin's womb
Very God
Begotten not created
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens
Of heaven above
Glory to God
In the highest

O come

Let us adore him
Christ the Lord

See how the shepards
Summoned to his cradel
Leaving their flocks
Draw nigh with lowly fear
We too will thither hend
Our joyful footsteps
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus
To thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord

"One Note Samba"

"One Note Samba"

La, la la la...
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you

There's so many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing

I have used up all
The scale I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing

So I come back to the one note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that this one note
All the love I feel for you

There are those who wants the whole show
Dó-ré-mi-fá-lá-ti-dó
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

"One Way"

"One Way"

One thing will lead to another
one touch and I'm closer to you
Oh, how I yearn to discover
All of the things I need to do
to live, to live to live all life of luxury...
Holding you in my arms
your heart, your heart, your heart, your
heart would belong to me
If I only knew where to start

[Chorus:]
One way to win your affection
One way to make that connection
I believe there's one way to your love
Love for life is my affliction
You are my sublime addiction
I believe there's a way to your love

Should I stand on a mountain
Should I dream of you here
Oh, it pours from me like a fountain
still I can't have you near
to love, to love, to love, to love, to love
you like a jewel in my arms
your heart, your heart, your heart, your
heart would belong to me
If I only knew where to start

[Chorus]

"Our Love"

"Our Love"

There's a land where lovers dream,
Where poets dwell.
We can sail tomorrow.
There is always room for one
Who wishes well.

There are doubters who
will be welcome too.
When you can't afford the fare,
There's a wish to borrow.

Our love, we must never doubt it.
Our love, when you think about it.
Love like our's will live a thousand years.

Yes, I know you've heard the story
Without end.
And you're uninspired.
Still, a walk without a wish
Cannot begin,
If you wish at all,
We can conquer all-
Learn to walk and run again,
As we chase Goiath.
