(with Al Jarreau)

"Every Time You Go Away"
(with Al Jarreau)



Hey, if we can solve any problem
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears

Always the same thing
Can't you see we got everything
Going on and on and on

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel your body move
It doesn't mean that much to me

I can't go on saying the same thing
Just can't you see we got everything
Baby, even though you know

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

I can't go on saying the same thing
'Cause baby can't you see we got everything
Going on and on and on

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
Take away best of me, come on take away the rest of me

Every time you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away
Take away best of me, come on take away the rest of me

Every time you go away

"Everything Must Change"

"Everything Must Change"


Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone must change
No one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And butterflies do fly

Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And music
And music
Makes me cry

"Family Reunion"

"Family Reunion"


Girl
Ooh
Oh, baby

Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone
'Til the end of time we've taken a vow to
Keep our family strong
But we were both tryin' to grow in our own direction
Soon the magic of two meant nothing at all

So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)

Tell me what you want, let's get it together
No more wastin' time on what we're not
You and I should love each other forever
Family means a lot
So baby, let's make a move, find a new beginning
Set your feelin' the same way I feel tonight

Come on and give it a try (One more try)
Let's have a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause girl, it's a crime (It's a crime)
Not havin' you by my side (By my side)

So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)

And now that we've been through everything, we don't have to worry
Let's put the pain of the past behind
And girl I promise you that love will always stay in our lives

So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (I'm losin' my mind, baby)
Without you here in my life (Here in my life)

Come on and give it a try (Yeah, girl)
Let's have a family reunion (A family reunion)
You know it's a crime (You know it's a crime, baby)
Not havin' you by my side (I need you here by my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Let's get it together, baby
Let's get it together, baby
Together, together, together baby
Let's get it together, baby

"Feel Like Making Love"

"Feel Like Making Love"


Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing

[Chorus:]
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

Oh baby

When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin's start to show

[Chorus]

In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
When I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my might

[Chorus]

Strollin' in the park, walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When you talk to me, when you're touching me
Making my dreams come true

Strollin' in the park, walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When I talk to you, when I'm touching you
Making my dreams come true

[Chorus]

"Fly By Night"

"Fly By Night"


It's hard to say I'm sorry
May we just forget about today
You see, I fly by night
I fly by night

I laid my love beside the door
And left you sleeping on the floor
So long, I fly by night
I fly by night

And though you might think
It's too bad of me
I have to leave you
With used memories

I have no stomach for the dawn
I feel I should be moving on
And so I fly by night

Now lady luck's deserted me
The ghosts of love stand clear to see
They also fly by night

Strange figures in the dark
Did Cupid strike and leave his mark?
It seems his arrows fly by night
They fly by night
Let's fly

"Footprints In The Sand"

"Footprints In The Sand"


People hand in hand
Future in the plan
Promises we make
Sometimes fade away
Like footprints in the sand

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

But life was meant to live
And love was meant to give
No-one ever said
That you could depend
On whispers to the wind

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

So I will build my castle on the sea
And pray that you'll come back to me
And there I'll wait faithfully
For your return, your return

Love's a game of chance
I've grown to understand
Hope will keep you near
She will reappear
Like footprints in the sand
In the sand, in the sand

"Four"
(with Al Jarreau)

"Four"
(with Al Jarreau)



Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four.
And they may not be many but nobody needs any more.
Of the many facts making the list of life,
Truth takes the lead.
And to relax knowing the gist of life,
it's truth you need.

Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three.
When you put them together you know what the last one must be.
Baby so that's truth, honor and happiness
and one thing more,
meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make it four.

Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four.
And they may not be many but nobody needs any more.

Truth takes the lead.
And to relax knowing the gist of life,

Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three.
When you put them together you know what the last one must be.
Baby so that's truth, honor and happiness
and one thing more,
meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make it four.

"Give Me The Night"

"Give Me The Night"


Whenever dark has fallen
You know the spirit of the party
Starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
You can throw out all your blues
And hit the city lights
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night

You need the evening action
A place to dine, a glass of wine
A little late romance
It's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world
Coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night

So come on out tonight
And we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers
'Cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly
Just gimme the night
Gimme the night

'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night

So come on out tonight
And we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers
'Cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly

And if we stay together
We'll feel the rhythm of the evening
Taking us up high
Never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street
Until the morning light
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night
Gimme the night
Gimme the night
Gimme the night
Gimme the night
Gimme the night
So, gimme the night

"Givin' It Up For Love"
(with Al Jarreau)

"Givin' It Up For Love"
(with Al Jarreau)



Give, give, givin' it up
This is my story
And over the story
Givin' it up for love

This is my story
I gave it up to love
Let me tell you how

I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber

??
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love

I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber

Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love

I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone

I gave it up
Yes, I'm givin' it up to love
I gave up everything

What would you do, do for love?
Wounded in cruel sacrifices and blood
Darling don't stress, no, darling don't go
I'll be an angel as long as we keep on singin' this song

I could have been an architect
I could have been a doctor
Been a good police detective
Looking for a robber

Through solo Shanghai
I'm born to make Lee a loner
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love

I could have been an astronaut
Or a half-past lawyer
Or an
??
Just find
??

They wrote in the
??
Could've put up a real good fight
I got good chance but I'm givin' it up for love

I gave it up
Givin' it up to love
I gave up everything
My everything gone

I gave it up
Yes, givin' it up to love
I gave up everything

What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?
What you'd do for love, love?
Would you give it up?

Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone

Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone

Baby, I'm in love with you
What am I supposed to do
Anything that I can do
Givin' all my love to you
Baby, I'm in love with you
Anyone will see that I'm gone

"God Bless The Child"
(with Al Jarreau)

"God Bless The Child"
(with Al Jarreau)



Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child

That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
