"Missing You"
(originally by John Waite)

"Missing You"
(originally by John Waite)



Missing you...

Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart
Tonight

I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say

There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing

And there's a message that I'm sending out,
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance,
Stop this heartbreak Overload

I ain't missing you,
I ain't missing you,
I can lie to Myself

And there's a storm
That's raging through my frozen heart tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you,
No matter what my friend's missing

I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I can't lie to myself
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I'm lying to myself
Oh yes
I ain't missing you
Missing you...

"Moment Of Glory"

"Moment Of Glory"


Here is a story that is bound to amuse ya
(about a fine young couple startin' out in life)
A dedicated husband and a real fine worker
(who lived for his children and his beautiful wife)
But one night in Dallas at a computer convention
(he got so loaded he could hardly stand)
Woke up with a heavy head and a strange girl beside him
(returned home a worried guilty man)
But inside his coat his wife found a note
It said "Thanks for the good time Can I see you again"
She asked him "Why oh why" Tears rollin' down her eyes
"would you give it all up for a moment of glory" glory

Packed up all her bags and returned to her mother
(Two small children clinging to her dress)
Hurt and disillusioned but never down hearted
(she picked up the pieces of her broken life)
And meanwhile back in Boston the culprit lie thinkin'
(trying to find the answer in a bottle of wine)
Fired from his job and missing his children
(he didn't care one way if he lived or died)
Oh what a crying shame nobody else to blame
for one night of pleasure he had given her pain
Oh how it was so hard to climb so far to give it all up
for a moment of glory, glory

As the months rolled by and accusations fly
the bloodsuckin' lawyers know they're in for a kill
The gold war begins she's takin' off her rings
Close friends take sides while the waters are still

Phone rang twice in his stone cold appartment
(it was his little boy Johnny and his sister Beth)
They said "Daddy we miss you would you talk to Mommy"
(a line of communication he had sadly missed)
She said "Now don't get me wrong this is where you belong"
I said "Good-bye children we can work it all out"
"But don't you ever forget how this family has bled
'cause you give it all up for a moment of glory" glory

Won't you give it all up
you give it all up
Won't you give it all up
you give it all up

"Moon River"

"Moon River"


Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You, dream maker, you, heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me.

"Moonglow"
(feat. Arturo Sandoval)



It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you

I still hear you sayin'
Dear one hold me fast,
And I start to prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you
That Moonglow gave me you

We seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you

"Move Me"

"Move Me"


It's obvious darlin'
you've become allergic to me
Are my trousers to wide
Do I drink and get mean
Is my demeanor that embarrassing
Are my jokes obsolete
Or is it my sweat that's no longer sweet
I work hard in the factory
to keep you in luxury
to which you've grown accustomed and you love
Lately you don't light my fuse
Is my fan belt coming loose
Punch me in the Bible baby please
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, move me
move me when I'm home

Sometimes baby I awake in the night
I reach out to touch you
but I'm scared you might bite
A little emotion wouldn't be out of place
Wake up and love me put a smile on my face
Otis Redding said it best "try a little tenderness"
Aretha wanted more "Respect"
Give me just a little touch
that ain't really asking much
your dog gets more attention than I do
Move me, move me, move me when I'm home
Come on and move me, move me, move me when I'm home

Sometimes I wonder if you'll miss me at all
emotionally independent, as hard as a wall
You're so wrapped up in your own little world
your old time religion is your lunch with the girls
When I'm standing next to you even in a crowd
I might as well be on another planet
Tell me what I've done to you to justify this ridicule
if it's over why don't we forget it
Move me, soothe me, move me, rock me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you move me, love me, move me, rock me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, move me, love me, soothe me
move me when I'm home
Why don't you rock me, rock me, move me, soothe me
soothe me when I'm home

"Muddy, Sam And Otis"

"Muddy, Sam And Otis"


Oh, yeah, I know, I know, I know

I remember
When I was only seventeen
The bohemian poet
And dosciple of the streets
Or was I just a little kid
Searching for identity in '63

Heard it on the radio
On a cold December night
It came burning down the air waves
Like a savior's shinin' light
All the way from the U.S.A.
Across the Atlantic far away
The magic came

The house began to rock
With Cupid and his bow
The hootchy kootchy man's
Lonely harp began to blow
Little did I know that
nothing in my life
Would ever be the same

Stayed up all night
Playin' every 45
Tryin' to sound like you
Strummed my guitar in bed
Till my fingers bled
Tryin' to play like you

(1) Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you Muddy
For the sounds you made
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you, Muddy
For the times we shared
And they carry on

I saw Otis back in 1965
Tears in my eyes
As he sung "These Arms Of mine"
But angels needed a soul man
For the celestial blues band
They took him home (took you home)

Oh, what I'd give to see
That red mohair suit and hear
"Dock Of The Bay"
Or Sam in his two tone
Singin' "Bring It On Back Home"
What a show that would be

[Repeat (1)]

If I sound sentimental
It's because this blue-eyed soul boys
Got so much respect
My gratitude to you
Runs deep, proud and true
I will never forget

(2) Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you Muddy
For the sounds you made
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Otis
Thank you, Muddy
For the times you gave

[Repeat (2)]
Thank you, Sam, thank you, Sam
Thank you, Otis, thank you, Muddy
You'll never, never fade away ...

"My Cherie Amour"

"My Cherie Amour"


La la la la la la
La la la la la la

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer's day
My Cherie Amour, distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never notice me
My Cherie Amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

"My Foolish Heart"

"My Foolish Heart"


The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart.

There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.

For your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart.

There's a line between love and fascination
That's so hard to see on an evening such as this
For they give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss, oh yeah.

Your lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start.

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love, my foolish heart

"My Funny Valentine"
(feat. Chaka Khan)



My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Each day is valentine's day

"My Girl"

"My Girl"


Miss you babe
Miss you babe

She's everywhere I go
She's everything I know
And now I think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than I deserve
And I don't wanna ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs

She's every move that I make
She's every breath I take
She's got a hold on me
That I don't wanna break

I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl

My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
What's wrong, you ain't the guy
We used to know
And I tell them I say
Without her by my side
I'm only half alive
I love her so bad
And I don't care if it shows

I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, my girl, my girl

At last my heart has found a home
This time I know where I belong
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, I just wanna see
My girl, my girl, my girl,my girl
