I know a star that shines
But somewhere in your mind
You're always right on time

"Livin' For You"

"Livin' For You"


I guess there's no good reason for livin'...
But I'll keep on livin' for you, baby...
There's nothing else to do, babe...
But spend my life holding you and lovin' you...

Oh...
If I ask you more than one million times to forgive me...
You think of a reason why...
that you should make me cry (don't make me cry)...
walk out and say goodbye away from me...

Oh...
I'm tired of the bright ideas about leavin' me...
when you know you ain't goin' nowhere...
but here with me...
here with me...
Let me tell you a thing...
stop and think of just how good I've been to you baby...

I'm causin' no trouble for you baby...
this story just can't be true, baby...
how can I convince you, baby...
but just tell you the truth...

I'm livin' for you... givin' for you... waitin' for you...
(lemme tell you what I'm doin'...)
I'm layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...
(...livin' my life, I tell you that...)

layin' for you... prayin' for you... workin' for you...

"Look What You Done For Me"



Now that you're here with me,
I want to keep you free,
to do the things that you want to do,
the joy in life is loving you,
but now the day has come,
to let you know where I'm coming from,
the best of my years will go to you,
it's the only thing that I can do,
but these things don't come overnight,
lovin' you baby, I think I'm right.
Let me say before I forget,
lovin' you baby, it's where it's at,
ya baby, look what you done for me,
ya baby, you set my heart free,
oh but I feel, ya...
Sometimes I wanna leave, but then I say,
it wouldn't make sense at all,

Anyway, forgive me baby,

I haven't been a true man for so long,
let be say before I forget,
lovin' you baby, it's where it's at,
ya baby, look what you done for me,

"Love Is Real"

"Love Is Real"


Let me tell you what I told you
Long before I noticed love is real, yes
Say something
Don't sit there, say nothing

I will try to explain it to you
It's glory, Alleluia, this love is real
Won't you please clap your hands?
Please, say amen

'Cause love is so high, you can't get over
You're lucky to find a holy clover
Give it a try, you can't get 'round it
You'll reach the sky, you're only grounded

I will try to break it down, release it to be found
This love is real, yeah
Won't you clap your hands?
Somebody say, amen

Hey, we can fill it up
And feel our love then come to us
Love is real, yeah, say it aloud
Sit down, say nothing

Trying to be real, not trying to fool ya
Don't know it all, just trying to school ya
This common love, you won't get by now
But this kind of love you'll find in the sky

We can feel it up
And feel our love encounters love is real
Say something
Don't sit down say nothing, no

These feelings make you wanna want some
Feeling make you wanna want some
Hey, makes you clap your hands, son
Makes you clap your hands, son

I wish I could have
Something to say this evening
I gotta have
Something to say this evening

I'd say one Sunday evening
Somebody came knocking at my door
Knocking at my door, open the door and let him in
Was a feeling, oh, oh, feeling, hey

Make me wanna want some
Make me wanna want some
Make me wanna want some
Make me lost, ah, just a squeeze

Oh, mug around the house
Talking about going someplace
One thing about it I never heard mama
Talk about going to Chicago too much

I might even go into New York city
But never had an idea
That I wanna go to heaven
And I wanna go to heaven

I wanna go, I feel pretty good
I wanna go to [?]
I feel pretty good, yeah
I feel like, I feel like I wanna, huh

That's a note
Hey, this love is real, this love is real
Hey, this love is real
Hey, they wanna love is real

This love is real
So real, so real, so real
Love is real, this love is real, yes, it's real
This love is real
