"Been So Long"

"Been So Long"


Praising right out of the blue
And i felt got the reasons why
Why i went away
Funny how u open that door
And asked me walks in
The only think that i know for sure
Exactely how long has been

[1] - Cause baby has been so long
Since i had u here with me
Baby is been so long
Baby come to me

Do you ever think of us
And the way it used to be
Day and night all over ur touch
Of the things u do to me
They say is just like writing a pad
Somethings u never forget
U know all the things that I'd like
Lets see how much harder it gets

[Repeat 1]

They playin my song
It might be wrong
I hope that this night dont end
It might be right
Right here tonight
What do u say, can u stay

[Repeat 1]

"Bethlehem Tonight"

"Bethlehem Tonight"




Virgin Mary was laden with child
The prophecy had been foretold
The One who had come to save our lives
Was born in the manger so low
And as sure as the stars are in the sky
Valleys low and mountains high
The newborn King was born
In Bethlehem tonight

Silent night, holy night
Bethlehem tonight
Silent night, holy night

Three kings brought gifts from far away
A boy came to play upon his drum
Skeptics saw truth and had nothing to say
The wonderful Savior had come
And as sure as the stars are in the sky
Valleys low and mountains high
The newborn King was born
In Bethlehem tonight

Silent night, holy night
Bethlehem tonight
Silent night, holy night

Behold our Redeemer from sin
There was no room in the inn
But still He left His throne on high
Shed His blood
To saved our lives, our lives
In Bethlehem tonight

Silent night, holy night
Silent night, holy night

Silent night, holy night
Silent night, holy night

"Better"

"Better"


Girl, ever since you walked into my life
You took everything that was wrong and made it right, that's what you did
I'm blessed cause I don't have to settle for the rest
Took some time but now I found the best that I ever knew
I've never been in love before 'cause I've been waiting all my life for you

So, tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs no ands or buts or maybes
Is it bad that I only want to be together?
'Cause each passing second it just keeps getting better, keeps getting better

Babe... sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
You're the reason I'm the man I am today
You know what you did
At last, you know you don't even have to ask
[?]
I never been in love before 'cause I've been saving all my love for you

So tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs no ands no buts or maybes
Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passing second it just keeps getting better, keeps getting better

Way back when we met I knew it then
Girl, I knew you were the best there's ever been
So, I don't know how you do the things you do
But, every day you open up your eyes I'll be right there 'cause I belong to you

So, tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs no ands no buts or maybes
Is it bad that I only want to be together?
'Cause each passing second, with each passing minute..with each passing hour..it just keeps getting better

Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passing second it just keeps getting better
Keeps getting better

"Biggest Part Of Me"

"Biggest Part Of Me"



If you've ever had a broken heart,
You promise yourself to never let it happen again.
Don't wanna think about it.
Don't wanna dream about it,
But it finds its way back into your head.
The "I love you's, I need you's"
Are only words that people say,
They're just words, when they're hand in hand,
With the games that people play, but,

If I ever see the top of the mountain,
If never step my foot in the sea.
I promise you I love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.
Where ever you are, whatever you do I will follow,
You've changed the way that I used to think.
I promise you I'll love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.

Take a look at me, I let you have my heart.
I swore I'd never let it happen again.
I'm not mad about it, I'm kinda glad about it,
Cause I know that with you girl, I can depend.
I love you, I need you,
Are only words that people say.
They're just words, when they're hand in hand,
With the games that people play, but,

If I ever see the top of the mountain,
If never step my foot in the sea.
I promise you I love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.
Where ever you are, whatever you do I will follow,
You've changed the way that I used to think.
I promise you I'll love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.

I believe, yes I believe,
I believe in love again,
And I swear, I'll always be there.
Isn't this the way that it should be, and,

If I ever see the top of the mountain,
If never step my foot in the sea.
I promise you I love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.
Where ever you are, whatever you do I will follow,
You've changed the way that I used to think.
I promise you I'll love you forever,
You'll always be the biggest part of me.

"Bless This House"

"Bless This House"




Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day ...

Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out ...

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie overall ...

Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open,
To joy and love ...

Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, the painting there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!

Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin ...

Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee ...

Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
O Lord! With Thee!

"Can You Read My Mind"

"Can You Read My Mind"



When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Oh when I look at you
I probably should go
Cause I wanna be with you
More than you'll ever know
Hmm for a taste of you
I could calm my desire
Baby you blow my mind
You light my fire, oh

I want you (yeah)
Need you (yeah)
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Is it the way I feel?
The curiosity or the things you do
That brings out the lust in me
The thought of me and you, drives me wild
Come close to me
Can you stay awhile?

Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

Yeah
Hold you, need you
Can't live without you

When I'm all alone at night
I can hear the beating of your heart
I should tell you and I might
Before you tear me apart
You're all I ever think about
All I ever dream about
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

"Can't Leave You Alone"

"Can't Leave You Alone"


Irresistible
Nothing like I've ever known
I give you my time
I give you all my all
I give you my money
Girl you're so incredible
Nothin' like I've ever seen
I give you what you want
You give me what I need
Girl it's funny

You got the thing I feen for
You've got me wanting more
You've got me so wide open
Don't tease me girl
Can we
All the freaky stuff you do
I can't get enough of you
Wait till I get home
Get you alone
Hard to stay away from you
I just want to play with you
Baby all I know is I can't leave you alone

Don't come around here, legs cocked in the air
If you ain't tryin' to toss it up girl
I'ma tell you what I want
Real plain, real work
Throw it back
I ain't lost my touch girl
Betcha man can't do it like that
When I'm attackin the back
That's packin a lot

Girl it's unbelievable
Never thought I'd be this way
Whenever we're apart, don't know where to start
Tryin' to catch feelings
Doing things I never do
Sayin' things I never say
The code to my safe
The key to my crib
Got me on the ceilin

You got the thing I feen for
You've got me wanting more
You've got me so wide open
Don't tease me girl
Can we
All the freaky stuff you do
I can't get enough of you
Wait till I get home
Get you alone
Hard to stay away from you
I just want to play with you
Baby all I know is I can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Baby all I know is
I can't leave you alone

Look Girl
Little kiss no slip
Just slippin in and out of your room
And press that
Slippin in and out of your womb
I might just
Pull it out there
Put it right back
Nevermind that
Whatchu like eh
Get busy like I'm stayin for the night
Get it goin' with the lights
Now nigga goin'
If I stop you may get to steppin with a man
And nah I ain't braggin
But sometimes you can throw your thing in the air
And it'll turn into sunshine
The punchline
That's all I need
In back of the lunchline
Lay your cards
You could stunt right
Might as well let me hop right

You got that thing
You got me wanting more
You've got me so wide open
Don't tease me girl
Can we
All the freaky stuff you do
I can't get enough of you
Wait till I get home
Get you alone
Hard to stay away from you
I just want to play with you
Baby all I know is I can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Baby all I know is
I can't leave you alone
Hard to stay away from you
I just want to play with you
Baby all I know is I can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Can't leave you alone
Baby all I know is
I can't leave you alone
[Ad libs until the end]

"Careless Whisper"
(originally by Wham!)

"Careless Whisper"
(originally by Wham!)



I feel so unsure, as I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all those sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm, no
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool, no, no

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

We could have been so good together
We could have make this last forever
But now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay, stay, stay, stay

I can't pretend no more
Know you're not a fool to cheat a friend
The way I danced with, I'm never gonna dance
I'm never gonna dance again
Never gonna dance again

"Cherish"

"Cherish"



Thinkin' back in time
Someone said that love was blind
But they were wrong
You just choose not to see me

[II]
When it's right before your eyes
You'd rather compromise
Then give your all
Then it don't turn out
The way it's supposed to be

[III]
Time and time again you disapoint
When she belives
Just do your best
And give her what she needs
And...

[Chorus]
Cherish her love
Show her she's right where she belongs
Take care of her heart
Before she's gone
Cherish her love

[IV]
It might be hard to conceive
Yougotta see the forest
Despite the trees
Before it all burns down

[V]
Not tellin' ya nothing you dont't know
But she'll let you have your fun
But when a woman's done when she's done
And then she'll go
Just when you're needin' her the most

[VI]
Time and time again you disappoint
When she beleives
Do all you can
To give her what she needs

[Chorus]

[VII]
And if you care about the weather
Keep her safe and warm
Let nothing in between stand in your way
They say it's calm inside the eye of the storm
Together come whatever
Come what may
Just...

[Chorus]

"Christmas Time Is Here"

"Christmas Time Is Here"



Well, the snow is beginning to fall
And the day of thanksgiving has come and gone
Silver bells begin to ring, hear little children sing
'Silent Night' was never just a song

Stockings are hung by the chimney with care
It's the most wonderful time of the year
Ice cream castles in the sky, there is happiness
In their eyes 'cause Christmas time is here

Ring a ding-ding wrapping presents, hearts reflect
The fire's glow, I have you underneath the mistletoe
And all is fine, fall down like rain upon me, give me
Something I can feel, so then I'll know, then I'll know this is for real

Stockings are hung by the chimney with care
It's the most wonderful time of the year, ice cream castles
In the sky, there is happiness in their eyes 'cause Christmas time
Yes, Christmas time yes, Christmas time is here
