"Love In The Afternoon"

"Love In The Afternoon"



From somewhere outside, I hear a
Street vendor cry: “Filet gumbo!”
From my window I see him, going
Down the street and he don't know
That we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon

Now the bourbon street lady
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery
But now I know (but know I know)
That she's just a girl
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot afternoon

We got high in the park
This morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then she came back here
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
Where under her breath
She hummed to herself a tune
Of love in the hot afternoon

"Love Power"
(duet with Jeffrey Osborne)



Saw a psychic in LA
Was just the other day
And she told me what I knew was true
She told me that I've never gotten over you

She said that if I called you
You'd just turn your back and walk away, ooh
Look what love can do
What am I to say

To this new girl just had last night
I tried to keep it light
When she held me in her arms, she knew
She told me that I hadn't gotten over you

I wonder if I called you
Would you make me pay for my mistake, ooh
Look what love can do
Is it now too late

Or can we get it back
Everything that we once had, ooh
Can we get it back
Talkin' about

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power takes over

You see that I have never gotten over you
So I'm hopin' you still love me
Like you did before I walked away, uh-huh
Look what love can do, mmm...hmm...
With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

You see that I have never gotten over you
So I'm hopin' you still love me
Like you did before I walked away
I walked away (Oh...whoa...)
Look what love can do, ooh...mmm...
With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

You see that I have never gotten over you

"Love Will Find A Way"
(duet with Whitney Houston)

"Love Will Find A Way"
(duet with Whitney Houston)



Each time I pray
I search for words that say all that I'm going through

Here's what to say each time you pray
I give it all to you
How can I know what's real

Oh trust in yourself believe in what you feel

I don't understand what's the Master plan
Will it ever come together?
Yes love will find the way
Open up your heart
Give the greater part

And it will
Yes it will
Oh Yes it will
Love will find a way

Its all a part of youth
Searching for the truth
Seeing the way roads will lead you

Now I realize though problems may arise
There's someone I can come to

Time waits for no man
Don't give up
It's time to take a stand

I don't understand what's the Master plan
Will it ever come together?
Yes love will find the way
Open up your heart
Give the greater part
And it will
Yes it will

Love will find the way

In the middle of the night
Love will lead you to the light
You can win {Oh yes you can}
Just hold on
Don't give up the fight (Don't give up the fight)
Love will make things right

You can win
You can win
You can win
You can win
You can win

Now I understand {I know that}
Love will find the way

Open up your heart
Give the greater part
And it will come together
Love will find a way
Now I understand
This is the master plan

Yes it is
Yes it is

Love will find a way

I do believe
I do I do I do I do

Now you know love will find a way
Love will find a way

I know it will
Just believe it
I do believe it

Love will find a way

"Make It Easy On Yourself"
(originally by Jerry Butler)

"Make It Easy On Yourself"
(originally by Jerry Butler)



Make it easy on yourself
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do

If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

And if the way I hold you
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less

My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

"Make The Music Play"

"Make The Music Play"



Make the music play
Just a little slower
Play a little slower
Let him hold me in his arms
A little longer

Make the music play
Just a little softer
Play a little softer
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep teh magic going
Keep the love-light glowing
Within his arms
Don’t even skip a beat
Or he may get away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken-hearted
Til I’m in his arms to stay
Please make the music play
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep the magic going
Keep the love-light glowing

"Make The Night A Little Longer"
(originally by Tammi Terrell)

"Make The Night A Little Longer"
(originally by Tammi Terrell)



My days are years 'cause I don't see my baby
Till the stars are in the sky
And every night when we can be together
Time just seems to hurry by

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm, 'cause when he hugs and holds me
Everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know, I hate to see the sunlight
Takes away that man of mine

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Just a little longer)

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

Then embrace his arms
Just a little longer
Capture all of his charms
Just a little longer
Please Lord, make the night ....

"Message To Michael"

"Message To Michael"



Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
He sings each night in some cafe
In his search to find wealth and fame
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name

It's a year since he wasn't here
Kentucky blue bird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
Tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back

Oh tell him how my heart just breaks in two
Since he journeyed far
And even though his dream of fame
Fell through
To me he will always be a star

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
Ask him to start for home today
When you find him please let him know
Rich or poor
I will always love him so

Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away
Fly away ...

"Misunderstood"

"Misunderstood"



Have you come to say it's over
Is it something I have failed to do
There is only you to blame
You're not the same one that I knew
Can there be no conversation
Any animation if you please
Do you know I'm old enough to read between the lines

Oh baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

There's gonna be a thunder in the air
Ev'rybody under should beware
When you gonna meet someone to
Open up your eyes
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone
Gonna be a shadow on the sun
Someone's gonna get you in the end
I would still be lovin' you
I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through

I was a love you could rely on
Anybody else need not apply
Do you know which one of us
Will be the first to say goodbye

Can there be no dedication
Dedication, that don't pay the rent
Do you know that I would still be with
You when the money's spent

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

There's gonna be a thunder in the air
Ev'rybody under should beware
When you gonna meet someone
To open up your eyes
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone
Gonna be a shadow on the sun
Someone's gonna get you in the end
I would still be lovin' you
I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

"Moments Aren't Moments"

"Moments Aren't Moments"



Tender, warm and serene are the words that might come
Close to having remnants of the feelings that we can no longer hide
Mighty, shining and clear, are but mere expressions that don't come near
To the ever glowing eminence of light in our eyes, tonight

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts feeling with tender love bloom

Gentle, quiet, so soft, are the wings of love that can send us off
To an ever splendor unknown to all in our time
Trusting in the unknown and giving in to what feelings have shown
Will take us to altered intimacies in our lives where we'll find

That moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts feeling with tender love bloom

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

Moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"

"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"



He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark, he looks for trouble
That's why the zero's double
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like ev'ry day's the last

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool

Oh, damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like the knife he cuts thro' life
Like ev'ry day's the last

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
No, he's no fool
He's no fool
He is no fool
