Patti Austin
IT'S GONNA BE SPECIAL
I've seen the many shades of love in my life
Until I met you no one shined so bright
Some say that passion can't survive for very long
But I get this feeling you and I can make them wrong
Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, just wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
I promise
We'll find a way to keep the thrill in our touch
We'll have tomorrow cause we know there's no rush
Out in the street we'll feel the beat of our hearts
The night is ours, so let the celebration start
Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
Darling, I've been waiting for you, now that you are here
It is extraordinary, boy, and is it clear
Special, gonna be special
Cause it's gonna be special
This love for you and me, just wait and see
You know it's gonna be special
It's written in the stars and here we are, here we are
Gonna be special
This love for you and me, that's the way it's gonna be
It's gonna be special
It's written up in the stars, baby, baby, here we are
It's gonna be special
This love for you and me, you gotta wait, you gotta wait and see
It's gonna be special
It's written up in the stars and you know here we are, here we are
It's gonna be special
Gonna be special
It's gonna be special

Sadao Watanabe & Patty Austin
ANY OTHER FOOL
I couldn't see paradise right before my eyes
And when I had you here by my side
I didn't know that no one else could ever take your place
But now I know
I know that I should have stayed
And seeing you tonight
I only wonder why
I ever said goodbye
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know I never should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Any one else never would have let the feeling die
Any one else would have fought to keep it alive
If they were in my shoes
They'd know the love we had was love too good to lose
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know I never should have let you go
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
I had it all when you were loving me (had all the love I ever need)
I had it all as any fool could see (any other fool but me)
Any other fool would never walk away (any other fool)
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know I never should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Any other fool but me
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know I never should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me

Jamie Cullum
EVERLASTING LOVE
Hearts gone astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realise
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
Hearts gone astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feeling you forever
Everlasting love
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
I need a love to last forever

Carole King
YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/Mx ]
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that
you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Sade
SMOOTH OPERATION
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...
--- extra ---
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Sting
MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE
The very thought of you makes
My heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendour
My one and only love
The shadows fall
And spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
My one and only love

Alicia Keys
NO ONE
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry cuz
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything’s going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry cuz
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything’s going to be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So til the end of time
I’m telling you
There is no one
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Norah Jones
DON'T KNOW WHY
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
Billy Joel
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Sergio Mendes
NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO
I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'
But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven
You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you ever more
This time you can be sure
(chorus)
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all
And I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances
Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to given more
This time you can be sure
(chorus)
Oh... So if you'll just say
You want me too...

WHEN I GIVE MY LOVE TO YOU
Whenever I am lost at sea
I remember you are here with me
You surrender to the fantasy
When I give my love to you
Running from the hurricane
Helter-skelter in the wind and rain
I find shelter, I find peace again
When I give my love to you
When I give my love to you
I can feel the downtime ending
And I ain't pretending
Words can simply not reveal
The degree of ecstasy
Only you can make me feel
When you give your love to me
Lover, when the world's too square
I discover you are always there
And no other lover can compare
When I give my love to you.

George Benson
NOTHINGS GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU
Nothing’s gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll never ask for more than your love.
Chorus 2
Nothing’s gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but nothing’s gonna change my
love for you.
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us like a guiding star
I’ll be there for you if you should need me
You don’t have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are.
So come with me and share this view
I’ll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don’t want to live without you.
Lauren Wood
FALLEN
I can't believe it,
you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how
I have fallen for you.
And I was not looking,
was content to remain.
And it's ironic
to be back in the game.
You are the one
who's led me to the sun.
How could I know
that I was lost without you...
And I want to tell you,
you control my brain..
And you should know
that you are life in my veins.
You are the one
who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that
I was lost without you...
I can't believe it,
you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how
I have fallen for you.
And I was not looking,
was content to remain.
And it's erotic
to be back in the game.

Billy Ocean
SUDDENLY
I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
until that first hello, until that first smile
but if i had to do it all again
I wouldnt change a thing, cos this love is everlasting
Suddenly, life has new meaning to me
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
ooh yeah
Girl your everything a man could want and more
one thousand words are not enough to say what i feel inside
holding hands as we walk along the shore
never felt like this before, now your all that im livin for
suddenly, Life has new meaning to me
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
each day I pray, this love affair will last forever
oh hoh
suddenly, Life has new meaning to me
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
ooh
there's beauty up above, and things we never take notice of
You wake up, suddenly your in love
Amy Winehouse
I'M NO GOOD
Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say why did you do it with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray
Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like roger moore
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in the place, but I cant get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throws, this is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet your chicks and bitter
You say when we're married cause youre not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good
Sweet reunion, jamaica and spain
Were like how we were again
I'm in the tub youre on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
To truly stuck the knife in first
I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, yeah ya know that I'm no good
Michael Buble
KISSING A FOOL
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death
And from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart
People
You can never change the way the feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart
People
You can never change the way the feel
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
But remember this
Every other kiss
That you'll ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other
You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death
And from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool

Earth, Wind And Fire
AFTER THE LOVE IS GONE
For awhile, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
In our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night, something right
Would invite us to begin the day
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Something happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around ?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found ?
For awhile, to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong, oh, baby, wasn’t right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared
This affair would lead our love into
Something happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Something happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
And, oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around ?
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found ?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found ?
Gino Vanelli
LIVING INSIDE MYSELF
In my life
I've felt so self assured
But suddenly it's all changed
She's a cloud, that hangs above my world
And I find myself wond'ring in the rain
And now I can't go on
'Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost, somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I need a guiding light
To shine on my darkest days
I was young, and time was on my side
But like a fool I let it slip away
And now those days are gone
And I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost, somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
In my life
I've felt so self-assured
But oh how all the seasons change
And now I'm not that strong
'Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this hell
Living outside your love
I am lost, somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
Living inside myself
David Foster & Olivia Newton John
THE BEST OF ME
So many years gone, still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
in one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone,love that was so wrong
I can't forget the way it used to be
and how you changed the taste of love for me
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
you were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
and I think I've come this far because of you
could be no other love but ours will do
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
you were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
No one will ever touch me more
and I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best of me for you
Chaka Khan
THROUGH THE FIRE
I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun
When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go
CHORUS:
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire
I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go
CHORUS
Through the test of time
CHORUS
Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
