"We've Got Tonight"
(feat. Sheena Easton)



[Kenny:]
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one will care girl
Look at the stars now
So far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay

[Sheena:]
Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

[Kenny:]
So there it is girl
I've said it all now

[Sheena:]
And here we are, babe
What do you say

[Sheena:]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay

[Kenny:]
I know it's late
And I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me

[Sheena:]
Still here we are

[Together:]
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

[Kenny:]
We've got tonight

[Sheena:]
Who needs tomorrow

[Kenny:]
Let's make it last

[Sheena:]
Let's find a way

[Kenny:]
Turn out the light

[Sheena:]
Oooooh-ho, come take my hand now

[Together:]
We've got tonight, babe
Why don't you stay
Why don't you stay

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"



What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
You can take it to the Lord in prayer

"What A Wonderful Beginning"

"What A Wonderful Beginning"



Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been hearlding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews
And it happened in Judea
In the town of Bethlehem
With a bright star o'er the stable
Was born the Son Of Man
Oh the angels were rejoicing
As the tiny baby cried
For the hope of man's salvation
In a manger had arrived
Meek as a lowly shepherd
But the mightiest of kings
He gives peace and life eternal
To whosever calls His name
Oh Emmanuel
The Father's precious Son
Who forgives our sins and washes clean
The hearts of everyone
What a wonderful beginning
To the greatest story ever told
His birth still rings with promise
As true as in days of old
So let us sing His praises
And let us open up our hearts
And receive His timeless message
That gives us all a brand new start
Oh Emmanuel
The Father's precious Son
Who forgives our sins and washes clean
The hearts of everyone
Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been hearlding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews

"What About Me"
(with Kim Carnes and James Ingram)

"What About Me"
(with Kim Carnes and James Ingram)



I see you here with me
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Someone to give
My heart and soul to

I look into your eyes
Your love for me
Was such a welcome surprise
I think at last
I've found forever

But what about me
(I'll always love you)
Oh, what about me
(I'll always need you)

You were my love before
But I need so much more of you

Time after time
I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what
Lovers must go through

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do

What about me
Oh, what about me

No reason to pretend
True love affairs don't
Have to come to an end
The moment we don't
Have all the answers

I nearly go insane
(Oh, I go insane)
Each and every time
I hear you whisper my name
I feel the same
When I'm around you

(But what about me)
I'll always love you
(Oh, what about me)
I'll always need you

This is so hard for me
I wanted so much to be
With you, whoa

Time after time
I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what
Lovers must go through

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do

Time after time
I'm losing my mind

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time

But what about me

"What Are We Doin' In Love"
(feat. Dottie West)

"What Are We Doin' In Love"
(feat. Dottie West)



[Dottie:]
We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type

[Together:]
Well, then what are we doin' in love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

[Dottie:]
Why were you someone I couldn't resist

[Together:]
What are we doin' in love

[Kenny:]
Were like paper and matches

[Dottie:]
We'll probly have our share of fights

[Kenny:]
We're like roses and switches

[Dottie:]
It's gonna be hard bit we've got to try

(Toghether)
So what are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

[Kenny:]
And what are we gonna tell all our friends

[Dottie:]
You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken

[Together:]
But if we have to say goodbye
To a life we've gotten used to
What are we doin' love then

[Dottie:]
We're like sunup and sundown

[Kenny:]
People say we're never going to last

[Dottie:]
Like Uptown and downtown

[Kenny:]
You like it slow but I like it fast

[Together:]
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

[Kenny:]
What are we gonna tell all our friends

[Together:]
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love

[Dottie:]
You were just someone I couldn't resist

[Together:]
So that's what we're doin' in love

"What Child Is This"

"What Child Is This"



What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The Cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
the King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sing her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

"What I Did For Love"

"What I Did For Love"



Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
It's what I did for love.

So count me with the wound and the shaking
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
It's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

And when they sit and list the reasons I've existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I've gathered all I had and gladly rested
That's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

Some day I'll make silently surrender
This old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
For what I did for love...

"What I Learned From Loving You"

"What I Learned From Loving You"



Sometimes I still think of you
Love that's gone by and the things I didn't do
Time heals hearts so they all say
Passing of years slowly pulls the pain away
There's still a little tenderness left in everything I do
It's what I learned from loving you
Well I had too much to learn to hold on to someone like you
And it took losing you to make me see the woman you needed me to be
Times have changed I have changed too
Even my eyes turned a deeper shade of blue
Guess it's all that crying they went through
It's what I learned from lovin' you
Well I had too much to learn...
I don't cry though we're apart
And someday soon someone else will need this heart
And the next time I'm gonna know when a love is true
It's what I learned from loving you
It's what I learned from lovin' you
It's what I learned from lovin' you
It's what I learned from lovin' you

"What That Means"

"What That Means"


I don't know if I should tell you
That you've been in my dreams
I can't control how you come and go
And I know what that means.

I don't know if I should kiss you
That might cause a scene
But I can hardly resist your smile
And I know what that means.

Right when I didn't expect it
You caught me off guard
My heart was unprotected
Now I'm falling hard.

I don't know if I should hold you
You know what that brings
I guess it's time that I told you girl
And I know what that means.

Right when I didn't expect it
You caught me off guard
My heart was unprotected
Now I'm falling hard.

I don't know if I should hold you
You know what that brings
I guess it's time that I told you girl
And I know what that means...

"When A Child Is Born"

"When A Child Is Born"



When a child is born

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy hue settles all around
You got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born.

And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child, black, white, yellow - no one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever.

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn'
This comes to pass when a child is born.

This comes to pass when a child is born.
Is born.
Is born...
