"Tell Me How You Feel"

"Tell Me How You Feel"


If there's anything on your mind, I'm open
It there's anything in your heart, honey, I'm open
But how can I ever be a man
If you won't open up and let me understand
Oh oh oh oh yeah

[Chorus:]
Come on and tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
If this love is gonna be real
You gotta let your feeling show

If your backs against the wall, I'm open
If you're climbing high and you fall, I'm open
Now if you need me to understand
You know I can't unless you let me in
Oh oh oh oh yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been honest with you
There's nothing more I wanna do
I just wanna give you my love
I only wanna give you my love
Yeah, take it baby, oh oh

Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
Tell me how you feel, baby
I really gotta know
Tell me how you feel, baby
Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
I really wanna know

"That's Life"

"That's Life"



That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

My, my!

"That's What Love Is All About"

"That's What Love Is All About"


There was a time
We thought our dream was over
When you and I
Had surely reached the end
Still here we are
The flame as strong as ever
All because we both kept holding on
We know we can weather any storm

[Chorus:]
Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the fire burning
It's something we could never live without
It it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

As time goes by
We've learned to rediscover
The reason why
This dream of our survives
Through thick and thin
We're destined for each other
Knowing we can reach the other side
Far beyond the mountains of our pride

[Chorus]

Ridin' the good times is easy
The hard times can tear you apart
There'll be times in your heart
When the feelin' is gone
But ya keep on believing
And ya keep holdin' on

Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the dream from dying
It's something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

"The Best"

"The Best"



Nobody like you, there's nobody like you

I've never been so sure about anything
This isn't like me, what's going on?
And I've never been more aware of anything
But I know it's real 'cause every time

Every time you're around me
I get everything tangled up inside me
And it's so hard to breathe
But I want you to know

Baby, you're the best part of me, yes, you are
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Baby, you're the best part of me
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

I'm only half of me without you here
You put together all of the pieces
Missing from me, erased all of my fears
Baby, you turned me up inside

Every time you're around me
I get everything all lit up inside me
You made me believe
Now I need you to know

Baby, you're the best part of me, yes, you are
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Baby, you're the best part of me
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

There's nobody but you that can do what you do
I finally found forever with you in my life
There's nobody but you that can do what you do
Finally found forever with you in my life

Baby, you're the best part of me, yes, you are
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Baby, you're the best part of me
The best, I finally know
The best, wanna let it show

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

Wanna show you off, let me show you off
Gotta show you off to the world
You're my heartbeat, to the world
You make my heart beat

There's nobody like you who can do what you do
Nobody like you, nobody like you
Nobody like you, nobody like you
Nobody like you, nobody like you

I've got this somethin' to tell you

Just till the end of time

"The Center Of My Heart"

"The Center Of My Heart"


How do I begin to say
Words are not enough to show you how I really feel
And how the night is now just knowing you are here
I can show you night and day
I'll hold you til the end of all tomorrows disappear
Now it's all so clear
What a fool I would have been
If I never let you in
Inside of me
So faithfully stood by me

[Chorus:]
It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place
Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me.
I thank you for the love you gave
For every step along the way
You taught me to believe again
Baby, that's the hardest part.
It's all because you took the journey
The journey to the center of my heart

Looking back I have to laugh
Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own
When deep down I was scared to be alone
Somewhere down that lonely path
You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go
How did you know that you could turn my world around
This place I never would have found
Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly

[Chorus x2]

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"



Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the fire
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa' s on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers' child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas to you

"The Courage In Your Eyes"
(tribute to Coretta Scott King)

"The Courage In Your Eyes"
(tribute to Coretta Scott King)



[Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaks]
[Coretta Scott King Speaks]

Nobody ever warned you
Nobody could have ever known
The road that lay before you
The journey that would lead you home
How steep was the mountain
How long was the fight
In the face of something so wrong
Somebody had to make it right

[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
And showered you with dignity and grace
Like the way you live your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than the world
Has ever known

Through the night and the darkest hours
The promise and the faith you kept
Brought the fury and the danger
To your home where your children slept
You believed in a time for love
There'd never be a time for hate
What kind of woman keeps the dream alive
What kind of dream does a lifetime take

[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
Will shower you with dignity and grace
The way you've lived your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than this world
More than the world
Has ever known

"The Hunger"

"The Hunger"



Shadows fall
Through the darkness we reach
As the hunger calls
Then you run
To the passion that takes you over

No lookin' back
The chance will never come again
You risk it all
For your dream
Won't let you go

When you feel the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Alone through an endless night
And the needs never satisfied

Through these eyes
Seen a river of tears
Seen the strong survive
Separate lives
And the emptiness makes you wonder
Blame it on love

You had it all and it's not enough
You'll never change
A slave to the fire
It never ends

Still you've got the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Never deny your heart

The need to be satisfied
Still you feel the hunger
The primitive rite
Of a restless breed
Surrendering all your life
To the true nature of the beast

No looking back
The chance will never come again
You give it all to your dream
It never ends

"The One Thing"

"The One Thing"


As I'm looking back in time
My heart was young and the world was mine
Driven by desires blind
I remember someone told me as the years roll by
Remember one thing, the one thing
People come and people go
The way the winds of fortune blow
So hard to find that heart of gold
I remember someone told me
When you find it don't let go

[Chorus:]
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
Makes this world heaven
Makes the whole thing right
You're the one thing
That means something baby
The one I believe in, the one thing I need in my life

As I look into your lovin' eyes
There ain't no doubt just where my treasure lies
I've searched the earth for somethin' true
But the only truth that matters is my love for you

And that's the one thing, the one thing
Timeless as the stars, faithful as the sea
Like the endless risin' sun I know you'll be there for me
There's so much love inside this heart of mine could break
'Cause I know I've found forever and with every breath I take

[Chorus]

And your love is like a rainbow
In a world that's black and white
You paint my dreams in color
And in your arms they come alive
You're my every inspiration
You're the wings that make me fly
You're my only destination
You're the one thing, the one thing in my life, ooh

You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby

[Chorus]
