"Stay With Me Forever"

"Stay With Me Forever"



Darling you must know that you are only mine
Not for just right now but all the time
Your sweet ways I cannot forget
Are the only things that you said on the day we met

This love I try to fight but I couldn't know love too long
And I knew the way that I was, I wouldn't be 'round too long
Your sweet ways I cannot forget
When I think about all the things you said
To help me through my days

Now I need you more desperately than I ever did
All the things we've done, all the things you say
Just drives me outta my head

So baby, please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
I want you to stay with me, baby, yeah
Please, please, won't you stay with me forever?

Please take my love, that's all I have to give
Just right now you're giving me a reason to live
Help me understand what I feel is real
For no love has meant this much to me
In the past couple of years

And if you let me there is nothin' I wouldn't do for you
And if you trust me with your love
Then I will make your dreams come true

So baby, please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
I just want you to stay a while with me, baby
Please, please, won't you stay with me forever?
C'mon and stay

Oh, c'mon take me by the hand, oh
Heaven, I want you to cherish me
C'mon, c'mon

"Still In Love With You"

"Still In Love With You"



Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl
Being here with you, being near with you
I can't explain myself
Why I feel like I do
Though it hurts me so to let you know that I
Look in your eyes to let me know
How you feel
Let me know that love is really real
And it seems to me
That I'm wrapped up in your love

Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey

And I look in your eyes
And all the years I see
Me lovin' you and you lovin' me
Well it seems to me
That I'm wrapped up in your love

Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you
Hey, ah-ha, ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, ah-ha
Don't you know that I'm
(Still in love, in love with you)
Sho' 'nuff in love with you
Say I try it if you want me to
Ah-ha, ah-ha, aah, ah, ah, ah

"Sure Feels Good"

"Sure Feels Good"



Over here, over there
People are waiting
On the wings of a prayer
Their hopes are fading
Well I know He can be
Everything for You
Gotta say what I feel
And you know it sure feels good
To know that He is there for me

I know that He loves me
I know that He saved me
It sure feels good
I gotta peace of mind
That you can't deny
When He turned my life around
Oh I can promise
It ain't no lie
He sent me here just to testify
Oh how He saved me
It sure feels good

Another day, another way
People are dying
But I know there are those
That can stop this crying
You can say what you will
I won't stop moving
Tell me this, tell me that
Don't plan on losing
'Cause this thing sure feels good

Tell you He loves me
Oh that He moves me
Sure feels good
I gotta love that's divine
That you can't find
Unless your hand is wrapped up in mine
Oh I got a feeling each and every day
This walk gets only sweeter
Day by day
Oh how He saved me
It sure feels mighty good
Haven't you heard
Don't you know, don't you know
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute
Won't you stop a while
There may be something here
That can make you smile
If it feels good
The way it's supposed to feel
Then you should know
That this love is real
Oh how He loves me
It sure feels good
Got a peace of mind
That I can't deny
Turned my life around
I can promise, it ain't no lie
He sent me here
Just to testify
Oh how He loves me
It sure feels good

"Sweet Sixteen"

"Sweet Sixteen"


You get up early in the morning just to see her eyes
She's walking 'round the house in a complete disguise
I don't know just how to tell you, just how she changed so fast
But she's the prettiest thing in my life at last

I'm [?] a silver moon, baby
I can't stand to see you in my bedroom
I'm moving with
And I wanna dance with my sweet love sixteen

I can't believe the way you hold me
I can't believe the way you console me
Oh, I wanna dance with my sweet love sixteen

Oh, the fellows wanna just touch her or hold her hand real tight
But she is the prettiest thing out here tonight, gentlemen
If the dancing gets good to you, lay down in your shawl
You try to move your body, you might lose control, tell you one thing

I don't believe the way you hold me
The way you console me
Oh God, I wanna dance with
My sweet love sixteen, alright

Tell you what I'll do, just talk with
Tell what I'll do unless you walk with
I believe I'll let ya sing baby
I don't want you to hold me

"Take Me To The River"
(feat. BB King, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow)



[Al Green:]
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Hey hey

[Al Green, BB King:]
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

[Lenny Kravitz:]
I don't know why she treated me so bad
Look at all those things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Al Green, BB King:]
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

[Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, Al Green, BB King:]
Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't take no more
Take me to the river

[BB King, Lenny Kravitz:]
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know
Oh won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

[Al Green, BB King:]
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

One more time!

[Al Green, BB King:]
Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river

"Take Your Time"
(feat. Corinne Bailey Rae)



[Al Green and Corinne Bailey Rae in two-part harmony:]
Just you take your time, ohhh.
Just you take your time.

[Corinne:]
Do you remember when
we used to take our time
you'd write me a letter, being there
and I'd wait for you all night (ohhh)
Now it seems everyone's
rushing around including you and I
I wanna take a little time
Just to fall in love again
Cause they're telling me...

Just you take your time (No hurry baby!)
Just you take your time,

[Al:]
When I think about yesterday
everything was easy
everything was okay
(Now, now, now)
Now everything is going fast
you're the best thing I ever had
aww and losing you
aww it'd make me, make me
that would make me
feel soo bad (hey, heyy)
Would you help me saying...

Just you take your time (heee),
Just you take your time.

[Al:]
Sing low and take it slow
I'm inclined to agree
Cause ain't nobody living
Can try to hurry me (can try to hurry me)

Just you take your time
Just you take your time

Just you take your time (no need to hurry baby)
Just you take your time (why you wanna rush and worry baby)

"That's The Way It Is"

"That's The Way It Is"


As the door over left behind to
Stand wide open for us to see
There is one thing in life I told you
I can see you but you can't see me, yeah

That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way it is

As my Father up in heaven above
Shining star that is full of love
And He is a big surprise that just open your hearts
And if that's one thing that I'm mighty proud of
You see now

There are sometimes when you make me happy
There are sometimes when you make me sad
But that's a part of life give it what you have
To all I ask is forget the bad

That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way, sometimes that's the way it is
That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way it is

All your smiles and your all your lies won't
Oh, erase the pain inside, yeah
Hold your self and your serenity
'Cause I can see you this evening
And can't you see me, well?

That's the way, that's the way it is, yeah
That's the way, that's the way it is
That's the way, let me say that's the way it is
That's the way

And you must believe all the things I tell you
You won't believe all the words I say
Now one little thing in life I'm rest assured of
Heavenly father's gonna make a way in [?]

I will, yeah, I wanna clap my hands
Wanna clap my hands
Let me, let me clap my hands
