"Land Of Make Believe"
(originally by The Drifters)



You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe

In the Land of Make-Believe
You're mine tonight, although you are far away
In the Land of Make-Believe
I'm holding you tight

A silver moon is shining above
And there's love in your eyes
And I'm kissing you like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise

I've been livin' in the Land of Make-Believe
Since you've been gone
I need you so much that, without your love,
I must deceive myself to go on

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me

You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe

I need you so much

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me

You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe
You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe

"Let Me Be Lonely"



Oh, let me be lonely
I wanna be faithful and honest
And true to the one I love
The one I love

Oh, let me be lonely
I've gotta be someone he's proud
To come home to some happy day
What a day that will be

I wanna be there, be there by the door
When he comes back to me
If I deceive him even once, I couldn't face him
Oh, I know I couldn't face him

If I give in to loneliness
And hold you tight
All through the night

Oh, let me, let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Oh, let me be, oh, let me be
Let me be lonely

I wanna be there, be there by his side
All through my life and if I ever let him down
I have to tell him, oh yes, I have to tell him
And if I did, what could he do?
He'd say goodbye and I would die, yes

Let me, let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Oh, let me be, oh, let me be
Oh, let me be, let me, let me
Oh, won't you let me be lonely

Oh yeah, let me be lonely
Oh, oh, yeah, let me be lonely, yeah
I'll be, let me be lonely

"Let Me Go To Him"


He needs me more than you do
And I know that he loves me
You never have
To you I am only a play thing
Just a toy that you found
You just keep around
Let me go to him
Let me be the woman I can be
If you set me free
Let me go to him
I can't live without his love
So I'm beggin' you to let me go to him
Let me go to him

Face the truth
You just don't care
When I try to work things out
You're never there
And lately we're never together
Half the time you don't call
That's no life at all

[repeat chorus]

"Little Green Apples"
(originally by O.C. Smith)



And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes and she says: "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school, goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says: "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun

And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
'cause she's made that way

And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

"Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets"



Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
I had to lose you to recall that life's not really all sunshine and laughter
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
And when you fall in love too fast
The sunshine doesn't last forever after whenever a drop of rain
First came the pleasure and then the pain
We were the talk of the town
Ask anybody around they'll let you know
We were the fire that lit the stars
No other love was as bright as ours
Everything's turning around, gone is the love that I found
You went away, now I'm alone
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
And when you fall in love too fast
The sunshine doesn't last forever after whenever a drop of rain
First came the pleasure and then came all the pain.

"Long Day, Short Night"



It’s been a long day, short night
Well I can hardly wait
Until we had our date
It’s been a long, long, long day
And then we meet at last
The hours passed so fast
It was a short, short night

The moment when I’m alone with you
That’s when all of my wishes
And all of my dreams come true
But time waits for no one
When there’s so much love here in my heart
Honey, why we had to part?

It’s been a long day, short night
I need to love so much
That when we’re out of touch
It’s a long, long, long day
But will you marry me
Each night of love will be
A very short, short night

"Lookin' With My Eyes"



Well, here I go again
Looking with my eyes
Seeing with my heart
Just like I used to do

You said hello again
Suddenly the lies
Sound just like the truth
And I believe in you

The tears of yesterday have gone away
Here in your arms I will stay
This time my happiness won't disappear
Loneliness is over

Well, here I go again
Looking with my eyes
Things look bad for me
Seeing with my heart
I just close my eyes
And I can see we're so in love

Oh, darling, darling, darling
Don't you ever go away from me
This time you've got to promise
You're gonna stay with me

This time my happiness won't disappear
Loneliness is over

Well, here I go again
Looking with my eyes
Things look bad for me
Seeing with my heart
I just close my eyes
And I can see we're so in love

Oh, darling, darling, darling, promise
You're gonna stay with me
No, no, no, don't ever
Don't ever go away from me

Oh, my darling, my darling
Don't ever go far away from me this time

"Love At Second Sight"



If we learn to pace ourselves
It won't seem so dramatic, it won't be so unclear
'Cause if we learn to pace ourselves
The ghost up in the attic might just disappear
You may not agree but it could happen here

And in the morning I think we're gonna laugh somehow
At what we are afraid of now
'Cause in the morning we'll know better than tonight
If it's gonna end up love at second sight

And if we learn to trust our hearts
And disregard the voices leading us away
And we can make a better start
We have all the choices, we have all the say
And you might not agree but you can't walk away

'Cause in the morning I think we're gonna laugh somehow
At what we are afraid of now
'Cause in the morning we'll know better than tonight
If it's gonna end up love

Of course we both have our doubts
Let me hold you until we find out
Though we don't have a clue
For we thought it's me and you

In the morning I think we're gonna laugh somehow
At what we are afraid of now
'Cause in the morning we'll know better than tonight
If it's gonna end up love at second sight
Love at second sight

"Love Begins With You"



You touched me
Like no one has touched me
Deep inside my soul
Where there was a hole
Deeper than the sea

I need you, thought I needed no one
Now there's something new inside me
And it's broken through my pride
Love's come to heal me, this time I won't be denied

Everything begins with you
I give into your sweet love, your complete love
After all that I've been through
I am so grateful that love begins with you

Hey, I don't even mind
The rain no more
I don't care, let it rain
(Go on and let it rain)
Let it pour
(Let it pour)

Everything begins with you
I give into your sweet love, your complete love
Everything begins with you
It lives in you

My love begins with you
My love begins with you
My love begins with you
Everything begins with you

"Love In The Afternoon"



From somewhere outside, I hear a
Street vendor cry: “Filet gumbo!”
From my window I see him, going
Down the street and he don't know
That we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon

Now the bourbon street lady
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery
But now I know (but know I know)
That she's just a girl
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot afternoon

We got high in the park
This morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then she came back here
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
Where under her breath
She hummed to herself a tune
Of love in the hot afternoon

"Love Power"
(duet with Jeffrey Osborne)



Saw a psychic in LA
Was just the other day
And she told me what I knew was true
She told me that I've never gotten over you

She said that if I called you
You'd just turn your back and walk away, ooh
Look what love can do
What am I to say

To this new girl just had last night
I tried to keep it light
When she held me in her arms, she knew
She told me that I hadn't gotten over you

I wonder if I called you
Would you make me pay for my mistake, ooh
Look what love can do
Is it now too late

Or can we get it back
Everything that we once had, ooh
Can we get it back
Talkin' about

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power takes over

You see that I have never gotten over you
So I'm hopin' you still love me
Like you did before I walked away, uh-huh
Look what love can do, mmm...hmm...
With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

You see that I have never gotten over you
So I'm hopin' you still love me
Like you did before I walked away
I walked away (Oh...whoa...)
Look what love can do, ooh...mmm...
With just one mistake

Love power, it rules us
Takes over and fools us
To make it, it takes
Love power, it rules us

You see that I have never gotten over you

"Love Will Find A Way"
(duet with Whitney Houston)



Each time I pray
I search for words that say all that I'm going through

Here's what to say each time you pray
I give it all to you
How can I know what's real

Oh trust in yourself believe in what you feel

I don't understand what's the Master plan
Will it ever come together?
Yes love will find the way
Open up your heart
Give the greater part

And it will
Yes it will
Oh Yes it will
Love will find a way

Its all a part of youth
Searching for the truth
Seeing the way roads will lead you

Now I realize though problems may arise
There's someone I can come to

Time waits for no man
Don't give up
It's time to take a stand

I don't understand what's the Master plan
Will it ever come together?
Yes love will find the way
Open up your heart
Give the greater part
And it will
Yes it will

Love will find the way

In the middle of the night
Love will lead you to the light
You can win {Oh yes you can}
Just hold on
Don't give up the fight (Don't give up the fight)
Love will make things right

You can win
You can win
You can win
You can win
You can win

Now I understand {I know that}
Love will find the way

Open up your heart
Give the greater part
And it will come together
Love will find a way
Now I understand
This is the master plan

Yes it is
Yes it is

Love will find a way

I do believe
I do I do I do I do

Now you know love will find a way
Love will find a way

I know it will
Just believe it
I do believe it

Love will find a way

"Make It Easy On Yourself"
(originally by Jerry Butler)



Make it easy on yourself
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do

If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

And if the way I hold you
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less

My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

"Make The Music Play"



Make the music play
Just a little slower
Play a little slower
Let him hold me in his arms
A little longer

Make the music play
Just a little softer
Play a little softer
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep teh magic going
Keep the love-light glowing
Within his arms
Don’t even skip a beat
Or he may get away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken-hearted
Til I’m in his arms to stay
Please make the music play
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep the magic going
Keep the love-light glowing

"Make The Night A Little Longer"
(originally by Tammi Terrell)



My days are years 'cause I don't see my baby
Till the stars are in the sky
And every night when we can be together
Time just seems to hurry by

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm, 'cause when he hugs and holds me
Everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know, I hate to see the sunlight
Takes away that man of mine

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Just a little longer)

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

Then embrace his arms
Just a little longer
Capture all of his charms
Just a little longer
Please Lord, make the night ....

"Message To Michael"



Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
He sings each night in some cafe
In his search to find wealth and fame
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name

It's a year since he wasn't here
Kentucky blue bird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
Tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back

Oh tell him how my heart just breaks in two
Since he journeyed far
And even though his dream of fame
Fell through
To me he will always be a star

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky bluebird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
Message to Michael
Ask him to start for home today
When you find him please let him know
Rich or poor
I will always love him so

Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away
Fly away ...

"Misunderstood"



Have you come to say it's over
Is it something I have failed to do
There is only you to blame
You're not the same one that I knew
Can there be no conversation
Any animation if you please
Do you know I'm old enough to read between the lines

Oh baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

There's gonna be a thunder in the air
Ev'rybody under should beware
When you gonna meet someone to
Open up your eyes
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone
Gonna be a shadow on the sun
Someone's gonna get you in the end
I would still be lovin' you
I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through

I was a love you could rely on
Anybody else need not apply
Do you know which one of us
Will be the first to say goodbye

Can there be no dedication
Dedication, that don't pay the rent
Do you know that I would still be with
You when the money's spent

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

There's gonna be a thunder in the air
Ev'rybody under should beware
When you gonna meet someone
To open up your eyes
There's gonna be a stranger when you're gone
Gonna be a shadow on the sun
Someone's gonna get you in the end
I would still be lovin' you
I'm not afraid, let your vision pull me through

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

And baby don't be so misunderstood
Baby it's just one word after all
Baby you know I'd be there if I could
Baby it's just one word after all
And we can fall and we can fall
We can fall

"Moments Aren't Moments"



Tender, warm and serene are the words that might come
Close to having remnants of the feelings that we can no longer hide
Mighty, shining and clear, are but mere expressions that don't come near
To the ever glowing eminence of light in our eyes, tonight

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts feeling with tender love bloom

Gentle, quiet, so soft, are the wings of love that can send us off
To an ever splendor unknown to all in our time
Trusting in the unknown and giving in to what feelings have shown
Will take us to altered intimacies in our lives where we'll find

That moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts feeling with tender love bloom

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

Moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

'Cause moments aren't moments until they are moments
Like this magic moment of ours
And magic's not magic until it is magic
Like magical love in our hearts

"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"



He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark, he looks for trouble
That's why the zero's double
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like ev'ry day's the last

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool

Oh, damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like the knife he cuts thro' life
Like ev'ry day's the last

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
No, he's no fool
He's no fool
He is no fool

"Much Too Much"

That my feelings would change

I need you so much, baby
