"Can Heaven Wait"

"Can Heaven Wait"


Quarter after seven, got a phone call
Telling me to get here quick
Said your girl is in a bad situation
They don't know if she's gonna make it

As I hurry to be by her side
I ask a thousand times, why oh why
There's no rhyme or reason in my life
With you lying here this way

I'd give anything just to trade places with you
So I'm begging heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

[1] - Tell me can heaven wait
Can heaven wait just one more night
Tell me what it's gonna take
To keep you with me in my life

Giving up the shame of my other life
Now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
Lord, I vow to change if you just make it right
Can heaven wait one night

Thinking back on times that I've wasted
I should have cherished every day
All the different flavors that I tasted
Can't compare to you, no way

As I reminisce by your side
Tears of guilt are streaming from my eyes
All the things I did that weren't right
Wish I could apologize

I'd give anything if I could trade places with you
So I'm beggin' heaven down on my knees
To help you make it through

[Repeat 1]

I'm gonna stop the world, reverse the time
Do whatever it takes to keep you alive
Heaven has to wait one more day

Baby, take my breath so you can breathe
I need you here so don't you leave
Heaven has to wait

[Repeat 1 until fade]

"Can't Be Doin' That Now"

"Can't Be Doin' That Now"


Ready or not
You're gonna get a taste of love

So, if you've got a change of heart
Stop that before you start
None of this holding back
I thought you knew that

[Chorus:]
You'can't be doin' that now
Stop it right away
You can't be doin' that now
'Cause I need a little kindness
A little, a little tenderness
A little love somehow

Other loves you've had
Are just a thing of the past
All a part of yesterday
Forever and far away

But, never will I disappear
My love is gonna stay right here
So, none of this pulling back
I thought you knew that

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
What's it about, my love, my love
What's on your mind, now baby love
Answer my call, I'm callin'
Don't stop now that Ive fallen

Don't let a good thing get away
We've got forever and a day
To make the whole thing better
That's why I'm gonna leave you never

[Instrumental]

[Chorus and Fade]

"Come Back"

"Come Back"


My heart and soul
And body too
Keep missin' you
What am I to do
The day's so long
And the night's so rough
; Cause it seems like I
Can't forget your love
It feels just like
I'm gonna fall apart
And I don't know how
I can make it now... so

[Chorus 1:]
Come back
You've been gone too long
You're on my mind
And it's hard to carry on
Come back
You've been away too long
My heart is weak
From being strong

I thought my sad face
Would make you stay
And it took me out
When you left that day
I sit and stare
But no one's there
In the room outside
That we used to share
When you're not here
It's a quiet place
It's a lonely house
Just an empty space... you gotta

[Chorus 2:]
Come back
You've been gone too long
You're all I need
And it's hard to carry on
Come back
You been away too long
My heart is weak
From being strong
Come back
You've been gone so long
I love you so
And I betcha I can show you
Come back
I got a love so strong
I'm missin' you, my baby
Ooh

[Bridge:]
I need you back now
You gotta come back, gotta come back
And I want you love
Please come back, please come back
I need you back right now
You gotta come back, gotta come back
And I want your love, my baby

"Crazy Love"

"Crazy Love"



We can't change the way we were
But we can change the way we are
All I really wanted
From this crazy love
Was a night so full of stars
That our hearts could not pretend
Oh what I wouldn't give
To have that crazy love again
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
I lived my l life for you
But now I'm left with me
Hanging on to pieces
Of what used to be
And no matter how I try
When I feel another's touch
It brings me back to why
I miss our crazy love so much
I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love
Yes I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To our crazy love
It was crazy love

"Creepin'"

"Creepin'"


I can hear you sighin'
Sayin' you'll stay beside me
Why must it be that you always
Creep into my dreams

On the beach we're sitting,
Huggin' squeezin', kissin'
Why must it be that you always
Creep into my dreams

When I'm sleep at night, baby
I feel those moments of ectasy
When you sleep at night, baby
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh love is so amazing (Oh oh oh oh)
Guess you will be stayin'
So let it be that you always
Creep into my dreams

"Dance With My Father"

"Dance With My Father"



Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But dear Lord she’s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

"Don't Want To Be A Fool"

"Don't Want To Be A Fool"



Love, what have you done, oh wow
I was sure up till now
That she was a friend
I stayed till the end

I once believed that love was fair
But I don't anymore
She said, I'm a bore
My heart hit the floor

Each time around I tell myself
"It's the game of love"
Ignore the signs and risk it all in the name of love
Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again
So I'll say it till the end I just don't wanna be a fool
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool ever again"

Whenever a fool's in love
He doesn't know he's to blame
He's caught in the game
It all ends up the same

He looks at love in a different way
It breaks his heart every time
They all turn estranged
But he'll never change

Oh, next time around I'll tell myself
"It'll be better than before"
I won't look back, there'll be no one
Tearing my heart out anymore, my baby
I've just decided I can't let nobody fool me again
So I'll swear till the end I just don't wanna be a fool
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool ever again"

I mean no more
Ooh, no never
Can't be, no way
No way, no way
Ooh, I don't want to be
I don't want to be a fool, no

I can't love anybody walking on a one way street
If I don't find somebody that'll be alright with me
'Cause I decided not to let nobody kill me again
So I'll say it till the end, "I just don't wanna be a fool"
Said, "I don't wanna be a fool never, never again"

Can't be a fool never again
Never, never, never again
Can't be a fool

"Don't You Know That?"

"Don't You Know That?"



I got your love
You need to look no further
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

After my love
You'll never need another
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

I don't make no promises I can't keep
And I promised myself that I'd love you forever
How many times must I say that
For you to understand the real thing

Don't you know that I love you so
Baby, don't you know
Don't you know that
I love you so, ooh, don't you know
Don't you know that
Oh

Without a doubt
You are my sweetest inspiration
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

I'm always down
For anything that you say
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

I love you so, yeah
I really love you, don't you know, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, don't you know that

I really, really do, yeah
I'm really so in love with you, yeah
Don't you know that
Alright, ooh, yeah

I used to doubt every girl that I'd meet
I thought that nobody could knock me off my feet
But you are the one who made my heart's bell ring
And that's why I'm sure that this is the real thing, yeah

Don't you know that I love
Don't you know, ooh, ooh
Oh, don't you know that I love
Don't you know, oh, yeah
Don't you know that I love you so
Don't you know that
I bet a million dollars that you know

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Ooh, don't you know that
Don't you know I, don't you know I love you

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
I love you, I'm in love
Ooh, ooh, I love

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know, don't you know
That I love

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that
Don't you know that
Don't you know that

Don't you know that
Hey, baby, really don't you know that

"Dream Lover"


Dream lover please be mine
I love you every night
Dream lover where are you?
You're the only one I'll ever love, uh huh
Dream lover of my dreams
I only see you when I dream my dream

But I'll just see you when I see you

For dream lovers who wait to rush into each other's arms
It's you that keeps me dreaming

"Emotion Eyes"

"Emotion Eyes"


Tears on your pillow, that's evidence
Crying all night, it don't make no sense
Never know what to do, so the tears come out
I used to wonder what this thing was all about

You're so sensitive
So willing to give
Girl, you're just a cutie, yeah yeah
But everything hits your tender spot
I think I see just what you've got

[Chorus:]
Emotion eyes see what they wann see
They just won't let it be
There's always somethnig goin' on

Emotion eyes, can't seem to be without
Something to cry about
They just get so emtional

My, oh, mercy me, just what do you see
Nothing stops those tears from coming
What's the matter chile, don't you ever smile
Watching you is really something

You don't need to struggle with you badness
'Cause you're the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
Watch what you see with those ...

[Chorus]

You don't need to struggle with your badness
You're just the baddest girl there'll ever be
You've got to learn to compromise
You've got to dry your weeping eyes
Watch what you do with those

[Chorus]
