Babyface Album

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
But tell me how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool

One thing can lead to another
It doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, don't think twice just

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone

Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeeky wheel
Always getting the grease, Oh

CHO: Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will, Oh, No, Oh, no

Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel.

They say in every life
They say the rain must fall, oh
And just like the pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine, oh
Make it rain Make it rain

Yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Looks like the plans we made put an end to you
Walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
Just can't remember where to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Oh, But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down on me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
Just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

Oh, oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

I've been walking my mind to an easy time
Back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows turns you head around
Spend hours of time on the telephone line talking about things to come
But all dreams and flying machine fell to pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, again

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever (forever)
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them (Once you find them)
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with (Through time with)

It's late in the evening
She's wonderin' what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair

And then she asks me, says: "Do I look all right?"
And I say yes girl, you look wonderful tonight

Noooo

We go to a party
And everyone turns to see, yeah
This beautiful lady (lady)
Walkin around with me

And then she asks me, she says: "Do you feel all right?"
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

Oooh yeah

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realize
How much I love you

I love you
I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an achin' head, yeah
So I give her the car keys (car keys)
And she helps me to bed

And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darlin', you are wonderful tonight
Oh, my darlin, you are wonderful tonight

Mama take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting too dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
A long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin on heavens door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew (tree ever grew)
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Blurring lines in the book of our lives (book of our lives)
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew (bird ever flew)
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I am in love with you, oh
I am in love with you, oh
I am in love with you...

In another day or so
He's be one year older
God bless his soul
Barely 18 years old
When he became a soldier
God bless his soul
It's not like he didn't know
The way all he had to cope
But he never made it home

Well I hope and pray
That when god called his name
He did not die in vain
I like to think he died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life he gave

In another day or so
She might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never got to hold
Her baby girl knows her
God bless their souls
It's not like she didn't know
The way that things could go
But she never made it home

Well I hope and pray
That when god called her name
She did not die in vain
I like to think she died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And she's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life she gave

Well I hope and pray
That when god called their name
They did not die in vain
I like to think they died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And they're just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life they gave

Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe club I hope to be workin' soon

Please come to Boston, She said no
But you come home to me
And she said

Hey ramblin' boy now you can settle down
Boston ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains, so far where we can't be found
Through I love you' echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night til ther come back around

Please come to Denver, she said no
Boy, but you come home to me
And she said

Hey ramblin' boy now you can settle down
Denver ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Now this drifter's world goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need somebody I can cling to
Somebody I can sing to

Please come to L.A., we'll live forever
Cause California life alone is just too hard to deal
We'll live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky, livin' up on the hill

Please come to L.A., she said no
But you come home to me
And she said

Hey ramblin' boy now you can settle down
L.A ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
You'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
Simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied,
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.
And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
All the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things that she can find
All the sweet things they can find
