(Ive Seen) Paradise



Hm, hm

Hm, hm, hm, hm

Just like a welcome fire

That comes in the cold

You make my heart warm

And a little more love is born

And I'm caught up once again on you

Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows

But you're so strong

And I know I'm gonna love you long

Well, crazy maybe

But I've seen paradise

Here in your eyes

I'm in seventh heaven

Ooh, there's nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

When the lights are out

And I'm in the dark

I'm not afraid, no

Long as I can get a piece of your heart

And the wind sighs

I love you

Specially when we touch

I need it so much

And I'm glad that we found love

Let the record show that I know that I've

Seen paradise here in your eyes

I'm in seventh heaven

Ooh, there's nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

Hmm, ooh (paradise)

Hey, I'm in para, para-dise, yeah

I'm in paradise, you know

You know that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like to be in paradise

(Paradise) I'm in paradise

And for those who think that there's no such thing

As eternity, they should take a look at you and me

We have got the perfect harmony

Specially when we touch

You know I need it, oh, so much

I'm in heaven specially when I'm with you, hey

I'm in paradise (paradise)-ac

A Little Bit Of Heaven

A Little Bit Of Heaven



The last guest has gone

I can tell you’re as thankful as i

A good time was had by all

And a little wine

I know by that look

(hmm) you’ve got other things on your mind

And I can’t resist that sign

So turn out the lights and close the door

We need the night to be alone

Shut out the world-just let it spin

Why don’t we make a little bit of heaven

Just talk to my heart

(ooh) say the words that I want to hear

Darling, tonight I need you near

So turn out the light and close the door

We need some time to be alone

Shut out the world-just let it spin

And maybe we’ll touch

A little bit of heaven

Oh---, oh, oh, hmm---

Shut out the world-just let it spin

Maybe we’ll touch a little bit of heaven

Heaven’s right here for us

We don’t need a mountain to climb, no, no, no

There’s just the two of us

And the love between the lines

Turn out the light and close the door

We need the night to be alone

Shut out the world just let it spin

Why don’t we make a little bit of heaven

Turn out the light and close that door

Maybe we’ll find a little bit of heaven

Turn out the light, baby, and close the door

I know we can make a little bit of heaven

Honey, turn out the light, yeah, and close the door

Maybe we’ll find a little bit of heaven

Turn out the light and close the door

Maybe we’ll find, oh, a little bit of heaven

A Smile Like Yours

A Smile Like Yours


Hmm, thought I’d seen everything there was to see in this world

Now I’m not so sure I’ve really seen anything at all

I thought life could show me no surprises

And then you came and showed me I was wrong

I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry

I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but I’ve never seen a smile

As beautiful as yours, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, I thought I’d been everywhere

I’ve climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky

And still I was nowhere at all, until that day, oh, you came to my senses

And your smile, it made sense out of it all, (I have seen the bluest skies)

Rainbows that would make you cry, I have seen miracles

(miracles that moved me soul) that moved my soul, days that changed my life,

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but I’ve never seen a smile as beautiful as yours

(smile so beautiful) so beautiful, comes one time in a lifetime

A smile this beautiful, (a smile this beautiful) I’ve never dreamed I’d ever see, oh

(I have seen the bluest skies) I have seen it, (rainbows that would make you cry)

That would make you cry, I’ve seen miracles (miracles) moved my soul,

(days that changed my life) and days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Oh, I’ve seen the wonders of this world (wonders of the world)

But I’ve never seen a smile (never seen a smile before as beautiful as yours)

Oh, I’ve never seen a smile before, (never seen a smile before as beautiful)

As beautiful as yours.

A Song for You

A Song for You



I’ve been so many places in my life and time

I’ve sung a lot of songs and I’ve made some bad climbs

I’ve acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching

Oh, but we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I’ve treated you unkindly

Oh, but darling can’t you see that, there’s no one more important to me

Baby, baby, can’t you see through me, ’cause we’re alone now

And I’m singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets

Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front

When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now it’s so much better

If my words don’t quite come together, please listen to the melody

’cause my love is in there somewhere hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life

You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over

Remember, remember, remember when we were together

And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you

We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing

We were alone, and I was singing this song for you

Singing my song, I’m singing my song for you

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Almost Like Being In Love

Almost Like Being In Love


What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

Angel on My Shoulder

Angel on My Shoulder



I never thought I’d ever make it, I can’t believe the hell I’ve been through

Couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, I didn’t know what to do

I’ve been through the rain, I’ve been through the fire

There was something that I never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the time

(angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so heartless

Its hard to find your way alone, I used to run so fast, no one could catch me

I couldn’t find the way back home, but I’ve laughed, I’ve cried

I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there

Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to

With an unchanging love, I finally found a hand to hold on to

A shelter to run to, now I see he’s watching over me

Chorus

(angel on my shoulder, angel) I’ve got an (angel on my shoulder)

Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder

Who was right there, right there, right there all the time

Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time

As a Matter of Fact

As a Matter of Fact



Blow daddy, aww, yeah

Here we are, standing at the hard line

We made it last this long

The two of us, together since the first time

And I believe our love is still strong

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And I love that you love me back

As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Some said we wouldn’t make it this far

But they don’t talk no more (no more)

The love we share is precious as a big star

And what we have’s what others hope for

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I need you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And I’m glad that you need me back

Ask a Woman Who Knows

Ask a Woman Who Knows


He stays out every night

And leaves me all alone

He never tells me where he goes

I'm not the only lonely one

Just ask a woman who knows

We used to share our troubles

And the good times too

Now I'm left with all the woes

I'm not the only sorry one

Just ask a woman who knows

The days are long

Oh, but the nights are longer

I got the lonesomest blues

You know my only consolation

Is I ain't got nothing more to lose

So there you have the story

Of a love gone wrong

That used to blossom like a rose

Oh, I'm not the only broken heart

Just ask a woman who knows

(Musical Interlude)

Well my only consolation

Is that I got nothing more to lose

So there you have the story

Of a love gone wrong

That used to blossom like a rose

But I'm not the only broken heart

Just ask a woman

And I'm a woman

Just ask a woman who knows

Oh, yeah

Ask a woman, ask a woman

And I'm a woman

Who knows
