"A Mission Of Love"

"A Mission Of Love"



We've got to help a friend in need
And nothing is gonna stop us now
Though all the words in the world
Won't get him the girl
If fate don't allow

Good love's a hard thing to lose
It don't come everyday
We've got to find us a way
To save this friend of ours
It's time to begin our mission of love

Come on now
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh
Give me an 'L'
N do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah oh yeah
Sing me an 'O' do do,
Dah do do, dah do do

Dah do n dah dah
L-O-V-E: love

We're on a mission of love
And nothing gets in our way
We've got to save us a friend
From a furious fate
Before the end of the day

This is a moment of truth
And truth is what we're about
We got a friend in a hole
We got to help get him out
This is a glorious day
Out on a mission of love, oh yeah

Everybody wants someone to need
Includin' you and me
Anytime you deny it
You're only denyin' what's real

Everybody wants someone that cares
Someone to be theirs
And if you get hurt
Sometimes if never can heal
So just count me in
This mission of love

Oh yeah,
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh

"A Modern Day Version Of Love"

"A Modern Day Version Of Love"



And the night was filled with laughter
Echoing through painted smiles
And I knew each morning after
I never loved , was never touched
Gave not at all, got back as much
In the comfort of
A modern day version of love

Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
Of lips that ask so much of me
Still I wonder with every embrace
Could I give and not break
Should I care and forsake
All the comfort of
A modern day version of love

Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
For me, yeah
I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
Never cared enough to be afraid
Of anything
Before, not before

Barefoot child on streets of cinder
Sleeping child the morning calls
Pray for spring but face the winter
Take the hand, taste the kiss
Leave behind the emptiness
And the comfort of
A modern day version of love

"A Song For You"
(originally by Leon Russell)

"A Song For You"
(originally by Leon Russell)



I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
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
But darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you

[Chorus]

You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth with holding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you

[Chorus]

I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you

We were alone and
I was singing this song for you

"A Stranger In Paradise"

"A Stranger In Paradise"



Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in Paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

"A Taste Of Roses"

"A Taste Of Roses"



A taste of roses, that's what you gave me
And then you made me
Turn around and walk away
A taste of roses, that little moment
But I have sworn that I was born
For just that day

I was a child again
In a world orphaned with light
You showed me the day
And then you left me in the night

A taste of roses, that sweet beginning
Whose bitter end will be rememeber'd
Thru the years, with a taste of tears
A taste of tears

"Acapulco"

"Acapulco"




There's love in the air
Well, can you feel it now?
There's love in the air, and that's nice

You're learnin' a lot
About each other's ways
You're learnin' a lot, ain't that right?

You work like a dog to try and get it good
You work with your heart, every day
You know when you're through
You're gonna take your friend and get away

To Acapulco (to Acapulco)
That's where they'll find us
In sunny blue waters
Where the sand is warm and friendly

Hey Acapulco, (hey Acapulco)
I hear you softly calling
We're sailing around the horn of love
To Acapulco

It's good and it's bad
When things are going right
It's good and it's bad, when they swing
But you know that you're glad
You finally get it right
You know that you're glad, so you sing

But at seventy two, it's hard to get around
At seventy two, but not now
It's me and it's you and we can get around
'Cause we know how....

In Acapulco, (in Acapulco)
That's where they'll find us
In sunny blue waters
Where the sand is warm and friendly

Hey Acapulco, (hey Acapulco)
I hear you softly calling
We're sailing around the horn of love
To Acapulco
We're sailing around the horn of love
To Acapulco

"Act Like A Man"

"Act Like A Man"



Songmaker
You heartbreaker
You figure
Better stop it while you can
You know you're just a worthless daydreamer
But hey dreamer
It's time to act like a man

Song writin'
It's just a little bit frightenin'
Like playin' with lightening
I'm not complainin' now you understand
You get to sing and dance all day
Like children play
But it's time to act like a man

Bein' a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside tells me so
And I know
What I know.

Say lover
Better discover
Some other way to turn your head around again
And really don't you wait now
It's gettin' late now
It's time to act like a man

Bein' a man means responsible
You hear it wherever you go
Nothing is ever impossible
Something inside tells me so
And I know what I know

Songmaker
You heartbreaker
You figure
You better stop it while you can
You know you're just a worthless daydreamer
But hey dreamer,
It's time to act like a man.

You've got to act like a man.
Why don't you grow up and act like a man?

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)



Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

"Ain't No Way"

"Ain't No Way"



Ain't no way
To get you out of me
Baby, there ain't no way
In the whole wide world
I'm about to see
By and by
You're all I ever need
Baby, when I forget how good life is
You bring it home to me

And I say hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Hey Hey
Ain't no way

Good time come
Ain't no doubt on it
Tomorrow sure looks somethin' else
No matter where I sit

Good time here
Big plum without no pit
And baby, there ain't no way to forget
That you're the why of it

And I say hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Come on, hey
Hey Hey
Ain't no way

And I say hey
