"I Say A Little Prayer"

"I Say A Little Prayer"



The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
And while combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too
I'm in love with you (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer my prayer)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer it right now babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)

"I Thought Of You Last Night"

"I Thought Of You Last Night"



I thought of you last night
I thought of you and thought of you
Until the morning light
I couldn't sleep I couldn't sleep last night

I wanted you last night
I wanted you and wanted you
And wished with all my might
You'd come to me you'd come to me last night

Darling my darling I can't live without you
I'm lonely so lonely when you're out of sight

I'll wait for tonight
I'll wait for you and wait for you
And long to hold you tight
Bring your love to me your love to me tonight

I thought of you last night
I thought of you and thought of you
Until the morning light
I couldn't sleep I couldn't sleep last night

I'll wait for tonight
I'll wait for you and wait for you
And long to hold you tight
Bring your love to me your love to me tonight
Bring your love to me your love to me tonight

"I Want To Fall In Love"

"I Want To Fall In Love"



I want to fall in love
I want to
Said I want to fall in love
Said I want to

I want to feel like a babe in your arms
Warm and tender
My heart's so well defended
Honey don't do me wrong
You're a perfect mender
And if you should find you have to lean on me
Then baby, baby feel free
Cause I want to fall in love

Everyone should be happy
And you could make me
So unbelievably happy
I'm usually very strong
And very capable
Like the order you exude
But if ever you should feel
You'd like to lean on me then baby baby feel free
Cause I want to fall in love

"I Was Telling Her About You"

"I Was Telling Her About You"



My arms were around her
My eyes were a-glow
The moment was tender
The music was low
But while we were dancing
I think you should know
I was telling her about you

"I Will Survive"

"I Will Survive"



At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live
without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learnt how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second
you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
('cause) you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to
hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and
I'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces
of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin'
for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now...

"I Will Wait For You"

"I Will Wait For You"



If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousands summers
I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me
Till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh
Here in my, arms
Anywhere you wander
Anywhere you go
Everyday remember
How I love you so
In your heart believe
What In my heart I know
That forever more
I'll wait for, you
The clock will take away the hours one by one
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me her and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me
Till I'm touching you
And forevermore,
Sharing your, arms

"I Wish I Were In Love Again"

"I Wish I Were In Love Again"



The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punched - drunk

The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
Ive learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again

The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: I love you - til the day I day
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heals
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care - no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be puncdrunk

Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - of a him and her
I dont like quiet - and I wish I were
In love again - in love again - in love again

"I Won't Cry Anymore"

"I Won't Cry Anymore"



I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what?, you're lovely
You know what?, you're so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance

I won't dance, don't ask me,
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do

You know what?, you're lovely,
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos

And that's why
I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance!!

"I Write The Songs"

"I Write The Songs"



I've been alive forever,
And I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together,
I am music,
And I write the songs.

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special thing s.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.

My home lies deep within you,
And I've got my own place in your sole.
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm young again, even though I'm very old.

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special thing s.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.

Oh my music makes you dance
And gives your spirit to take a chance,
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.
Music fills your heart,
Well, that's a real fine place to start.
It's from me it's for you,
It's from you, it's from me,
It's a world wide symphony.

I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special thing s.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.

I am music, and I write the songs.
