"You Are My Friend"

"You Are My Friend"


You are my friend,
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend

You hold my hand,
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain

You're my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love,
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care

The thought of you helps me carryon
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da [ad lib]

I've been looking around and you were here all the time.
Da, da, da [ad lib]
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
[Repeat]

"You Are My Solid Ground"

"You Are My Solid Ground"


When you're lying tenderly beside me,
And I feel your breath so soft against my cheek,
All my fears just disappear in darkness,
And I know for sure,
I could never leave,
You are the strength that I've found to see,
You life me up when I'm down-loving me,
When I never thought,
That I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground,
I don' t need a fairy tale to save me,
I've got all the magic I need in your arms,
And I won't even fly away in madness,
I'll stay close enough to always feel your warmth,
You are the strength that I've found to see,
You lifted me up when I'm down-loving me,
When I never thought that I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground,
I'm...so in love with you,
You're everything faithful and true,
I know I could touch every star,
When you're lifting me and I'm right there where you are,
You are the strength, that I've found to see,
You life me up when I'm down...loving me,
When I never thought, that I'd feel my heart come around,
You are my solid ground, you are my solid ground.

"You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover"

"You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover"


You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree.
Can't judge honey by looking at the bee.
Can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Oh-oh, can't you see? You misjudged me, baby!
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover!
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane.
Can't judge a woman by looking at her man.
Can't judge one by looking at the other.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

You can't judge a fish by looking in the bowl.
Can't judge right by looking to the wrong,
Can't judge a-one by looking to the other.
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

"You Make It So Hard (To Say No)"

"You Make It So Hard (To Say No)"


I have had my eyes on you
Since the day I learned to laugh at myself
Caught you laughing too
You went your way, I went mine
It's strange that in another place
That joke should hit me in my face

You make it so hard
Hard to say no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no
No no no
No, I can't say it
I can't say it

All that glitters is not gold
Just like the jokes get old
That smile that makes you think of me
Don't make things like they used to be
You might say that I have changed
Oh, it's just that things are rearranged
As I once looked after you
Now its your turn to see me through

You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No, no, no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No no no, no

You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no
You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no

You know I tried to get you out of my mind
But now it's to the point I find
I just can't leave and not have kissed you
You know I could never resist you

You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No, no, no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No no no, no

You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no
You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no
You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no
You make it so hard, so hard to say no
You make it so hard to say no, no, no, no

You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No, no, no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No no no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No, no, no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No no no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No, no, no, no
You make it so hard
Hard to say no (no), no (no)
No no no, no, no
I can't say no to you, you, you, you, you
Because you make it so hard for me to say no, no

"You Saved My Life"

"You Saved My Life"


Now and then,
I look where I've been,
It seem the good sometimes went wrong,
I see in YOU, the love that pulled me through,
The love that kept me strong...
You saved my life,
When drowing in a lonely sea,
You reached out and rescued me,
You save my life,
With love You saved my life,
Yo've been there,
When no one dared to care,
Somehow you shield me from all harm,
A guiding light, in my darkest night,
My shelter in the storm...
You saved my life,
When all around was sinking sand,
You were there with out stretched hands,
You saved my life,
With love you saved my life,
With nothing to gain, you bared my pain,
From the start, showed me love from the heart,
And when all else failed, on faith in you I held,
Yes my life, my soul, I owe you...
I... saved my life,
It took time, but now I see,
Your love supplies all me needs,
You saved my life,
With love YOU saved my life.

"You're Mine Tonight"

"You're Mine Tonight"


I'm the kind of a lady
I always get what I want
You're looking so hot
I want what you got
Before I get thru with you
Ooh, you're gonna want me too
You don't know but

You're mine tonight
Oh, I hold you tight
Know what I'm feeling
And it feels so right
You're mine tonight
There's no use to fight
My mind's made up
And my heart is set on you
Mm-hmm...

You're picking up on my signals
You're reading me loud and clear
Smiling at me sensuously
I see you're heading my way
Attracted like a moth to a flame
You don't know but

You're mine tonight
Oh, I hold you tight
Know what I'm feeling
And it feels so right
You're mine tonight
There's no use to fight
My mind's made up
And my heart is set on you

Ooh, it was meant to be
(It was meant to be)
Ooh, it was destiny
Oh, ecstasy

Standing so close beside me, huh!
Just a heartbeat away
It was in the stars
You're here in my arms
Baby, it was you and me
Just the way I said it would be
You don't know but

You're mine tonight
Oh, I hold you tight
Know what I'm feeling
And it feels so right
You're mine tonight
There's no use to fight
My mind's made up
And my heart is set on you

Ooh, it was meant to be
It was destiny
It was meant to be
Ooh, ecstasy

You're mine tonight
Oh, I hold you tight
Know what I'm feeling
And it feels so right
You're mine tonight
There's no use to fight
My mind's made up
And my heart is set on you
