"I Can't Stand The Rain"

"I Can't Stand The Rain"



I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand, yes it was
Now that we've parted
There's one sound that I just can't stand...
Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories, hey
I can't stand the rain, ooh
'Gainst my window, oh no no
'Cause he's not here with me, uh
Alone with the pillow uh uh
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say, hey hey
Uh, uh, I can't stand the rain...

(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)...
Baby, uh, uh, uh, hey hey
Ooh, ooh, uh, uh, hey
Don't you know, 't you think...
No no ooh oooohh hey hey hey hey hey, no
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
Oohh !... Get off my window...

(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)...
Get off my window now, get off my window
Get off my window nah, I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain, ooh, can't stand the rain, oh

"I Found Someone"

"I Found Someone"


Don't you know, so many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder,
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby

[Chorus:]
I found someone, to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes, I could never bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
Show ya the feelins' that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me but ya don't believe
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby

[Chorus]

Too long on the borderline
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
That's when I realized, and I realized

[Chorus]

And baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

"I Just Can't Wait To Meet You"

"I Just Can't Wait To Meet You"



I just can't wait to meet you,
Sweet child, you're on the way.
I'm filled with expectation
And you're growing every day.
I just can't wait to meet you,
And I know this much is true;
The greatest part of me, my babe, will be living on in you.

Through all the days and long, long nights,
You know sometimes I've cried,
But I'm staying strong and holding on
For the gift that is inside
Inside, inside...

"I Promise You"

"I Promise You"


I will promise you, yes I promise to
Love you for all your life
Love you every day and night
I will always be there for you
I'll be in your arms, you'll be in my heart

[Chorus:]
I'll love you forever, I promise you
We'll be together, our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I wouldn't do
With all of my heart, I promise you

I will take your hand, and I'll understand
Share all your hopes and dreams
Show you what love can mean
Whenever life just gets too much for you
I'll be on your side, to dry the tears you cry

[Chorus]

Oh I will always be in your arms
And you will always be the flame
within my heart

[Chorus]

There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
I promise you

"I Surrender"

"I Surrender"



A million miles beyond the voice of reason
It's where I can be found
Got me walking with my head in the clouds
My feet don't even touch the ground

I don't know what you've done to me, baby,
But my resistance is gone
I thought I was strong
Baby, I was wrong

'Cuz you call my name and you turn me around
As my arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you

Heartache shatters loves' innocence
My trusting days are through
My resistance was my best defense
But I never counted on you
You got the key to my destiny, babe,
I'm just a willing slave
I can't walk away, no, baby, I can't walk away

You just call my name and you turn me around
My arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender

Here I am trying to hold back the ocean
Drowning in the sea of desire
I've been betrayed by my own emotions
You and my senses conspire

(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)
I surrender! I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
I surrender, surrender, surrender to you

A billion miles beyond the voice of reason
That's where I can be found

"I Wanna Hear You Say It"

"I Wanna Hear You Say It"


Gimme back my breath, gimme back my senses
Gimme back my life, all my second chances
If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you
Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to

[Chorus:]
Love is written on your face
Do you believe in what you've found
I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Gimme back my pride, take away this silence
Gimme back my faith, show me where this road ends
Take away my choice, deliver me forever
You can free me with your voice
Even if you whisper

[Chorus]

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Don't make me wait for it, you know I ache for it
Don't make me break down and walk away
Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me
We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.

[Chorus]

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
I wanna hear you say
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

"I'm Alive"

"I'm Alive"


I've slept under the sun,
And I've tasted the rain, cold rain
I've loved more than once
And I've stared down the face of pain
But look at me
I'm still standing here today

[Chorus:]
I'm alive, yeah, I'm alive
I'd rather walk this winding road and let love take a leap of faith
Than be alone
Yeah, I'm alive
Life is stronger, and more powerful, and beautiful than ever

Yesterday I was a fool
But in our yesterdays we are all fools
Watched the news in disbelief
Prayed for love to bring relief
Giving up is always easier than standing up to fight
But baby

[Chorus]

Everybody gets scared a little
Everybody gets tired a little
Everybody feels low
Everybody feels high
When life is a journey, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride
All on borrowed time, I'm alive, look around baby
I'd rather take a leap of faith than be alone, yeah I'm alive,
Life is stronger, and more powerful, beautiful than ever.

[Chorus]

"I'm Not Ready"
(feat. Delta Goodrem)

"I'm Not Ready"
(feat. Delta Goodrem)



I am broken
There’s a stranger on the phone
Somethings missing,
From seven years ago
You tell me baby don’t you cry anymore
That’s the past and not what we’ve become
But I know

I am shaking
Not a breath left to breathe
All this sadness so cold
That I can’t speak

[Pre]
Look me in the eyes,
You know it’s okay we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you

My bags are all packed
Waiting at the door
Its hard to imagine
I wont live here anymore

I’m scared of tomorrow
And the emptiness to come
But I’ve changed for the better
Since I’ve known your love

[Pre]
Look me in the eyes,
You know it’s okay we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you
(I’m not ready)

[Bridge]
And even if we tried
We would end up right back at this place together
This was not a lie
And what we had will always be a real love forever

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye to you
I’ll never be ready

"I've Got You Under My Skin"

"I've Got You Under My Skin"



I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.

"If I Could"
(originally by Ray Charles)

"If I Could"
(originally by Ray Charles)



If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could
