Voo Doo

[No lyrics]

. . .


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 even 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...

Carnaval (Festa do Interior)

[No lyrics]

. . .


Who looks at her life in the palm of her hand
Rain's on the roof, there's tears in the land
Of heartbreak
She's made up her mind, she won't turn back again
She writes a note, but words just won't say
Turns off the TV, pulls down the shade
She's leaving
No she won't change her mind
To leave it all behind

Just one more story from a lonely heart
A twist of fate and then a start for home
Bound for the rainbow's end
Just one more chapter in this sad old tale
Another penny in the wishing well
Bound for the rainbow's end
Don't you turn back again

Who's playin' cards from midnight 'til dawn
Lives in a wasteland yesterday's gone
Forever
He's made up his mind to leave it all behind
So he says to himself as he folds up his hand
Who of my friends will understand were
I'm goin'
To find my own way
I won't turn back again

Just one more story from a lonely heart
A twist of fate and then a start for home
Bound for the rainbow's end
Just one more chapter in this sad old tale
Another penny in the wishing well
Bound for the rainbow's end
Don't you turn back again

I have a dream that I hold in my heart
And I won't let go
Welcome tomorrow - I'm on my way
So goodbye yesterday
Goodbye yesterday

Just one more story from a lonely heart
A twist of fate and then a start for home
Bound for the rainbow's end
Just one more chapter in this sad old tale
Another penny in the wishing well
Bound for the rainbow's end
Don't you turn back again

Just one more story from a lonely heart
A twist of fate and then a start for home
Bound for the rainbow's end
Just one more chapter in this sad old tale
Another . . .

Shattered dreams
Worthless years
Here am I encased
Inside a hollow shell
Life began then was done
Now I stare into
A cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
The sights our eyes behold
Will open up our melting hearts
And feed our empty souls

I believe
When I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe
When I fall in love this time
It will be forever

Without despair
We will share
And the joys of caring
Will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength
We have wont be erased
When the truths of love
Are planted firm
They wont be hard to find
And the words of love
I speak to you
Will echo in my mind

I believe
When I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe
When I fall in love this time
It will be forever

I believe
When I fall in love with you
It will be forever
I believe
When I fall in love this time
It will be forever

Im so glad that I found
Someone to believe in again
Im so glad that I found
Someone to believe in again

God answered my prayers
God answered my prayers
God answered my prayers
God answered my prayers

God always will answer your prayers
God always will answer your prayers

Believe in god
He will answer your prayers
Thank you god

C'mon lets fall in love
Youre the woman
I been dreamin of
C'mon lets fall in love
Youre the girl
That I really adore

Dont you wanna
Dont you wanna
Dont you wanna
Fall in love
Dont you wanna
Dont you wanna
Dont you wanna
Fall in love

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one,they say

But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery

But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
All in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say, to say
In love with me you'd stay
but all in war is so cold

You either win or lose
When all is put away
The losing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

Let Them Work It Out

[No lyrics]

Little darling
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Little darling
The smiles returning to their faces
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Little darling
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Little darling
The smiles returning to their faces
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right

. . .


If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure collide
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, 'cause you still got me
After takin' me way up there

Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same

When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly you're crossed
You're so moody, you get to me
Still can't turn you off
You're fascinating, more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, that I'm re-writing
The book of love called "You"

Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I ever lose this heaven . . .

Never tears or sorrows came before me in my mind
I had no problems, never a problem in my life
Never a worry on my mind

All my days before today were happy
And secure until your phone call
You were tellin' me goodbye

Now I'm lookin' for another love
I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life
And I'm lookin' for another love
I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life

Now the wheel of fate has turned
I'm worried 'bout the new love you've discovered
He is a problem in my life
I have a problem on my mind

Things you cherish most in your life
Can be taken if they're left neglected
Leavin' a problem in your life

'Cause now I'm lookin' for another love
I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh
And now I'm lookin' for another love
And now I'm lookin' for another love
I'm lookin' for another pure love in my life, ooh
I'm lookin' for another love
I'm lookin for another pure love in my life

. . .


Hang on to the world
As it spins around
Just don't let the spin
Get you down
Think of moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Give your self respect
Your manly pride
Get yourself in gear
Keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free, yeah

Keep on walking tall
Hold your head up high
Lay your dreams
Right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep going, going on
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free
Hey, just wait and see
Some day we'll all be free, yeah
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free
It won't be long
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free
Take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me . . .

You Been Away Too Long

[No lyrics]

. . .


We wandered through the summertime
And drifted into fall
We never thought of winter at all
How foolishly we tossed away
The buttercups, the time -
Who'd have thought
We'd have no more songs to sing
Hills to climb?

We summered in each other's arms
And slumbered in the glow
We never heard the whisper of snow
But summer's not forevermore
No matter how we tried -
The trouble with hello is goodbye
