"How Many Days Of Sadness"

"How Many Days Of Sadness"



How many days of sadness must I
Spend to get one day of gladness
And tell me how much sorrow must I
Spend to get one bright tomorrow

You must have good times just giving me bad times
Must you always be so cruel?
You used to be so wonderful to me
Why did you change my happiness to misery and heartbreak

How many days of sadness must I spend
To get one day of gladness
How long, how long must I be lonely
Tell me when will your heart want me only

When will you take me, just take me and hold me
Oh yeah, hold me and with each breath that you take
Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time

Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time
Oh please love me, how many days are lonely days,
(Tell me, tell me) The way you give me happiness
(How many days of) Take away this misery
(Tell me, tell me) When will you give your love to me

"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
(duet with Luther Vandross)

"How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye"
(duet with Luther Vandross)



Here we are so close to the end now
Still holdin' on, we try and pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying (It's dying)
We've tried and tried to find us a way out
But darling, our dreams have now all been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying

But how many times can we say goodbye
And how many times can we see love die
And how many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say goodbye
Mmm, goodbye (Goodbye)

We're so in love, but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us used and both of us using (Hey, hey)
Darling, it's time that we stop pretending (Stop)
There's just no way to rewrite our ending (No way)
We're caught in this game and we both know we're losing

Oh, but how many times can we say goodbye
Hey, how many times can we feel love die
Tell me how many times can we give it one more try (One more)
Before we really say goodbye
Yeah...oh...ho... (Whoa...oh...oh...)

How many times can we break up and make up
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on (No) and on living a lie
Though I'll always love you

How many times (Ooh) can we say goodbye
Oh...and how many times can we live this lie
Hey, how many times can we give it one more try (One more try)
How any times before we really (Really, really) say goodbye
Bye-bye (Goodbye) Bye-bye
(Goodbye) Bye-b-b-bye-bye-bye
(Goodbye) Ey, hey, goodbye

"How You Once Loved Me"

"How You Once Loved Me"


I've passed the point of reason
Of caring how I feel
What used to matter most to me
Has no importance now
I wish I knew how to love again
I kept most all your presents
In the bureau down the hall
And when I'm into huting me
I look them thru
And I think of you, and how you loved me

[Chorus:]
How you once loved me
How we once loved
How could I ever know
You meant to love me so
We got so far to go
How could you ever know
I meant to love you, too

There are no rhymes or reasons
Why people carry on
From the day young girls discover
They're different from little boys
And love is just a toy
They can play with
And we were just as foolish
Now I can't be that way
Maybe you feel just as strange
And too afraid to say
I can find a way to say I love you

[Chorus]

"Humbly I Pray"

"Humbly I Pray"



Lord humbly I pray
For Your grace another day
Sometimes its hard to lift my head
And Lord
As long as You're with me
I know that I will be
Able to handle everything
There is no shame on me
Lord you took everything
Righteousness flows from Thee
It was Your gift to me
Lord I lift up chis day
Show me the way
Make everything I say
Bring glory to Your name
Make everything I do
Bring glory to Your name
Lord humbly I sing
To the glory of Your name
I know that there's no one like You
And Lord as I walk with You today
Let Your light show me Your way
So I might be more like You
I know You died for me
Way back on Calvary
The blood that flowed from Thee
Was só I might be free
Lord I lift up this day
Show me your way
Make everything I say
Bring glory to Your name
Make everything I do
Bring glory to Your name

"I Always Get Caught In The Rain"

"I Always Get Caught In The Rain"



I fall in love, and I get hurt
When bad luck hits, I get it first
To try again seems useless now
I'll get hurt again, anyhow

Cause I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

Sunny day (a sunny day), life's so gay
Then suddenly (suddenly) it goes away
Without a warning, lightning strikes
I'm heading for another lonely night

I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain

"I Can't See Anything (But You)"

"I Can't See Anything (But You)"



I should thank you for the flowers
Can't imagine how you came to think of those
That same colour rose, for me
My world is made up of memories
You and I, the laughter and tears
You never need to worry

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you

I remember all the good things
When you held me for the first time
Things were right
On that rainy night, for us
Love, then, now and forever
No time real and right where we are
As good as my eyes can be

I can't see anything
See anything but you

There could be some many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you

No one ever cried
No one ever stood in the way
Ev'rybody lies
Ev'rybody buys what love is today
You can be a fool
In the beginnin, baby you were there
And when you're winning
What do you do
Don't ask me

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others but...

I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others
But I can't see anything
See anything but you
There could be so many others but...

"I Can't Wait To See My Baby's Face"

"I Can't Wait To See My Baby's Face"



I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
'Cause he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah

Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I mean
What I mean to him
'Cause just one tear is all he's got to, to she'd for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my baby's, baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I see my baby's face

"I Could Make You Mine"

"I Could Make You Mine"



If I could be alone with you
The way that I am longing to
I could make you mine

If I could hold you very tight
The way I do in dreams at night
I could make you mine

But you belong to some other heart
And you vowed never to part

So I go on until the end
Just loving you while I pretend
If I had met you in time
I could have made you mine

But you belong to some other heart
And you vowed never to part

So I go on until the end
Just loving you while I pretend
If I had met you in time
Oh, I could have made, could have made you mine

Could have made you mine
Could have made you mine

"I Cry Alone"

"I Cry Alone"


I cry alone
When no one else can hear me
When friends come by to cheer me
I smile and say I feel okay

But I cry alone
Each lonely night without you
But when they talk about you
I make believe I never grieve

And here in my room
When no one else can find me
I lock the door behind me
And I cry
Please come home, come back to me
Oh how I long to kiss you
If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

"I Do It 'Cause I Like It"

"I Do It 'Cause I Like It"



Said that we have all the time we need to make it right
Don't hurry for nobody, if it ain't the thing you like
Know your place and fit your space, young man, you will conform
I didn't hear my soul express those rules when I was born

Free to roam 'cause that's my home, you can't stop sweet inclination
The kids want the system breakin' down, not higher education
If it ain't no natural law then you can keep your regulations
'Cause if I like it, I do it

But I, I keep on movin', though they wanna bring me down
I gotta run for the cover
And keep on smilin' though they wanna tie me down
And give me death for the lover
And I keep on losin' though I'm provin' what I'm doin'
I'm still groovin' and if I like it, I do it, yeah

I like it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I like it

You've got to help those people break that legislation
We can overcome this suffocation
Execute your natural liberation
Happy to enjoy rejuvenation

All around, hear the sound, no one can stop us now
A thousand rules for plastic fools, now they can take a bow
Surely there's been time to see, it doesn't work by now
So if I like it, I just do it

Still I keep on findin' that they're pushin' those distorted visions
And I keep on livin' but I'm dyin' 'cause of their decisions
If I keep on lookin', I can find an higher space
I'm still groovin' and if I like it, I do it, yeah

Oh yeah, if I like it, yes I know, if I like it
Yeah, don't you know? If I like it
If I like it, if I like it, if I like it
I'll just do it, yeah, yeah

I wanna do it, do it, do it, do it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I gotta do it, yeah, come on

If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
Just do it

I wanna do it, yeah, I think I'll do it now
I think if I'll like it I'm gonna do it
Stay, we gotta do it now
We gotta do it now, yeah
We gotta do it right now, now

Ah, there's my DJ, yeah
You know I wanna do it
Come on, let it out

Hey, everybody said that if you like it, I think you better do it
I think I'm gonna do it, I think I'm gonna do it
I think I'm gonna do it, you know I wanna do it
Come on, Peter let's do it, oh if you like it, yeah
Oh if you like it, yeah, oh if you like it, yeah

Said that we have all the time we need to make it right
