Words and Music by Lala

I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone

Chorus:
Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see
That you give good love to me baby
So good, take this heart mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby you give good love

Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

chorus

Now I, I can't stop looking around
It's not, what this loves all about
Our love is here to stay, stay

chorus

. . .


Words and Music by Gerry Goffin and Michael Masser

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
For tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you

. . .


Words and Music by Michael Masser and Linda Creed

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

. . .


Words and Music by Michael Masser and Jeffrey Osborne

All at once,
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
Your not coming back
And it finally hit me all at once
All at once,
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell,
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Chorus:
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely see
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once,
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms,
And all my dreams were shattered, all at once
All at once
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories, all at once

chorus

. . .


Written by: Elliot Willensky

If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you
And if you could only see yourself
You'd feel the same way too
You could say that I am a dreamer
Who's had a dream come true
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you

If you wonder why I'm smiling
It's because I'm happy with you
And the warm sensations touch my heart
And fill me through and through
I could hold you close forever
And never let you go
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because I just love you so

Now, my heart is an open door
Won't you come inside for more
You give love so sweetly now
Take my love take me completely now
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you
And my eyes are just the window
For my feelings to come through
And by far you are more beautiful
Than anything I ever knew
If you say my eyes are beautiful
If you say my eyes are beautiful
If you say my eyes my eyes are beautiful

It's because, It's because, they're looking at you

. . .


Words and Music by Michael Masser and Will Jennings

Remember when we held on in the rain
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again

Chorus:
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again

chorus

Didn't we have the beat of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end

chorus

. . .


Words and Music by Frank Williams and Chuck Jackson

I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day...
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately...

So here I am
And can you please tell me... oh

Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

chorus

And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...

chorus

. . .



I used to cry myself to sleep at night 
But that was all before he came 
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right 
But now he's here 
It's not the same, it's not the same 

Chorus: 
He fills me up 
He gives me love 
More love than I've ever seen 
He's all I've got, 
He's all I've got in this world 
But he's all the man that I need 

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes 
He takes me down and rocks me slow 
And in the evening when the moon is high 
He holds me close and won't let go 
He won't let go 

chorus 

. . .


(Written by Allan Rich, Jud Friedman)

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?

(chorus)

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

(chorus)

. . .


(written by David Foster and Linda Thompson)

Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
(Your love I'll remember forever)

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you.

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

repeat (chorus)

. . .


If I
Should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you every step of
the way

And I...
Will always
Love you, oohh
Will always
Love you
You
My darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet
Memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you
You need

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
You, ooh


(Instrumental/Sax solo)


I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope
you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy
and happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
*Repeat*

I, I will always love
You....
You
Darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love
You..
Oooh
Ooohhh

. . .


Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong
And sometimes it's right
For every win
Someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale (yeah, yeah, say)

Chorus:
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (yeah)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
(All you got to say is shoo be doop)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Shoo be doop)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
Shoo Be Doo

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
You'll find a point when
You wille exhale (yeah, yeah, say)

Chorus:
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (shoo shoo shoo huh)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Sho0 be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Say shoop say shoo be say shoo be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (say shoo-hoo say sho)
Shoo Be Doo (be doo oh)

Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's
Answers to your prayers
If you're searching for
A place you know
A familiar face
Somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there

Repeat Verse 2

Chorus:
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop (Shoo Be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Shoo Be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Shoo Be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Shoo-hoo-hoo be)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (Shoo be doop doop doop hoo hoo hoo)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (do do shoo be shoo be feels alright)
Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop (You can say oh)
Shoo Be Doo

Chorus:
Why does it hurt so bad
Why do I feel so sad
Thought I was over you
But I keep crying
When I don't love you
So why does it hurt so bad
I thought I had let you go
So why does it hurt me so
I gotta get you outta my head
It hurts so bad
Oh it hurts so bad baby

My life's been better
Since the day I left you boy
I must admit life's been kind to me
I went and did the things I said I would boy
I found someone who loves me for me
Haven't had much drama since the day that we split boy
My heart's never been more at ease
And when I think of all the things you put me through
Leaving you has been the best thing for me

Chorus:
So why does it hurt so bad
Why do I feel so sad
I thought I was over you
But I keep crying
When I don't love you

Hurts so (hurts me so)
Hurts so bad (did you know)

Just when I think it's over
Just when I think it's through
I find myself right back in love with you

Chorus:
So why does it hurt so bad oh baby
Why do I feel so sad

Oh why, you hurt me so bad
Bad... (how bout that?)

. . .




I Believe In You and Me
I Believe That we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You Will Always be the one
For me (Oh yes, you will)

And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cuz I believe In you and me

I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down, baby
Then I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you, boy

I will never leave you out
I will always let you in, boy (mmm, oh baby)
To places no-one's ever been,
Deep inside, can't you see?
That I believe in you and me

Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever

I believe in miracles
And love is the miracle
And yes, baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free,
Oh, baby cuz i believe, i do believe, in you and me
See, I was lost, now I'm free

feat. Faith Evans and Kelly Price 
Written by: C. Schack, K. Karlin, T. Savage

This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
You said that you'd be here by nine 
And said you took your time 
You didn't think to call me boy 
Here I sit trying not to cry 
Asking myself why you do this to me
Chorus 1 (sung by Faith Evans) 
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face 
I'm writing you this letter, and this is hat I have to say: 
All I really wanted was some of your time 
Instead you told me lies 
When someone else was on your mind 
What you do to me 
Look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right 
Until you play with my emotions and you made me cry 
What you do to me 
Can't take what you did to me
Now I see that you been doing wrong 
You played me all along. 
And made a fool of me, baby 
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out 
That you were cheating on me. 
How could you do it to me?
Chorus 2 (sung by Kelly Price)
This is the heartbreak hotel (9x)
Chorus and ad lib
I aint goin to take it no more (4x) 
(Kelly Price)Everthing you said was a lie 
Don't lie to me (fade out)

. . .


Written by: Wyclef Jean and Jerry Wonder Duplessis

(clap your hands, yall its alright....)

If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)
And I'm standin' on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did w/ my life
I will say I spent it withyou

If I wake up in WW 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if youcommin' with me

Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through eachother's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe

chorus

If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what people day
I'll be waiting for you after jusdement day

chorus

Duet with Deborah Cox

SPOKEN 

Whitney: Um? hey Deb. 
Deborah Cox: Mmm hmm? 
WH: Thank you for being woman enough to come. 
DC: Whitney, what's this about? 

SUNG 

WH: I know he's leaving me for you. 
DC: Who said that? Who told you that it's true? 

WH: 
What is he telling you? 
Could it be the same things that he told me? 

DC: He told me that he loved me. 
WH: I heard that. 
DC: He told me I was [harmony] beautiful. How did you know? How did you know? 
WH: Because I played that scene before. 

CHORUS: 
This is a retake of my life. 
I was his star for many nights. 
Now the roles have changed, 
And you're the leading lady in his life. 
Lights, camera, now you're on. 
Just remember you've been warned. 
Enjoy it now, 'cause it won't last. 
Same script, different cast. 

DC: 
What you're saying could be true. 
But how can I take advice from you? 

WH: 
I'm not hating, 
But I wish the one before me 
Would have warned me too babe.

DC: Don't say no more. La La La La La La La La La 
WH: Uncover your ears, girl. 
DC: I'm not listening. La La La La La La La La La 

WH: 
But I know you hear me. 
Maybe my reasons are wrong, 
But I know that you believe me. 

CHORUS 

DC: It's your fault you didn't love him enough. 

WH: 
That's the problem. 
I loved him too much. 
And when you love him 
He becomes unattracted to you.

DC: Oh no, he's changed and I'll prove you wrong. 
WH: No you won't. 
DC: So go away. Leave us the hell alone! He loves me. 
WH: He'll hurt you. 
DC: He'll stay with me. 
WH: He'll leave you. 
WH and DC: For sure! For sure! 

CHORUS 

DC: 
This is a retake of my life. 
You were his star for many nights. 
But now the roles have changed. 
I'm the leading lady in his life. 
Lights, camera, now you're on. 
Just remember you've been warned. 
Enjoy it now, 'cause this will last. 
I'm the future, you're his past. 

WH: 
This is a retake of my life. 
I was his star for many nights. 
Now the roles have changed, 
And you're the leading lady in his life. 

WH and DC: 
Lights, camera, now you're on. 
Just remember you've been warned. 

WH: Enjoy it now. 
DC: Enjoy just now. 
WH: It won't last. 
DC: I know it will last. 
WH and DC: Same script, different cast.

(duet with Enrique Iglesias)

Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know

Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could i have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever

Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please

Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
could I hole you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever

I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spend being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way

Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever

. . .



Now tell me how you feel if I told 
You that I have feelings for you 
And would it be so wrong to say 
What's on my mind 
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time 
What I feel inside for you has changed 
But I'd give up on love, if I thought 
That it was untrue for you

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

I know that we were just friends 
But what if I decide to bring something's in 
I hope it won't offend the trust 
We have cause I don't want this to end
I you think that we'll lose what we have 
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same 
(I'd rather stay the same) 
Cause I don't wanna choose 
Between two of the most precious things to me 
(tell me)

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

If we take this chance and extend 
To each other romance 
I hope it would be 
The right thing for you and me

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you 
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you 
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you 
What would you say (if I told you that)

Would you be there for me 
Could you dare to hold me 
Will my feelings leave me 
Lonely if I told you

. . .



Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out
But you came home around three
Yes you did
If six of y all went out
Then four of you are really cheap, yeah
Cuz only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

1 -     It s not right, but it s ok
    I m gonna make it anyway
    Pack your bags, up and leave
    Don t you dare come running back to me

    It s not right, but it s ok
    I m gonna make it anyway
    Close the door behind you, leave your key
    I d rather be alone than unhappy

I pack a bag so you can leave town for a week, yes I am
The phone rings and then you look at me
(Why turn and look at me)
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th street, boy
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

(I ve been through all of this before)
I ve been through all of this before
(So go out an dget your things)
Don t think about it, don t think about it
(And all the sleeping around, it takes some, boy )
They gon get yours
(Things are gonna change)
Things are gonna change, baby
( Cuz I won t be your fool anymore)
You don t stand a chance, boy
(That s why you ll have to leave)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(So don t turn around to see my face)
Don t you turn around
There s no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
Tell me boy
See I m moving on
And I refuse to turn back, yeah
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out you were making a fool of me, yeah

Repeat 1 until fade

. . .


Written by: Diane Warren

Did you really think that 
I would really take you back 
Let you back in my heart one more time 
Ohh. No. No.
Did you think that I c still care 
That there c be more feeling there 
Did you think you could walk back in my life. 
So you found you miss the love you threw away. 
Baby but you found it out too late. Too Late.
Chorus:And so now you know the way it feels to cry 
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two. 
Baby I learned the way to break a heart 
I learned from the best. 
I learned from you. 
Oh baby now. 
I learned from you
I remember cold nights 
Tears I though would never dry 
How you shattered my world 
With your goodbye.Your goodbye baby
Would u sold my soul then. 
Just to have you back again 
Now you're the last thing on my mind.
Now you say your sorry and 
You've changed your ways 
Sorry but you changed you ways too late.
Chorus
So when all you've got are sleepless nights 
When those tears are clouding up your eyes 
Just remember it was you who said goodbye 
Who said goodbye.
Instrumental break 
Chorus

Well there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
And as I'm going
On my journey
Oh I might be lost
And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
Well no one told me
Just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
Cause I'm taking it

Step by step, bit by bit
Stone by stone, yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step, day by day
Mile by mile oh

And this old road
Is rough and ruined
So many dangers
Along the way
So many burdens
Might fall upon me
So many troubles
That I have to face
Oh but I won't let my spirit fail me
Hmm no I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slowly
Cause I'm making it by

Stone by stone, yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step, day by day
Mile by mile oh

Oh baby, don't give up
You got to keep on moving on don't stop, yeah, yeah

words and music by: Toni C.

Sometimes life can make you crazy
It can really put your body to the test
You try so hard to make sure everything goes right
And you find you've only wound up with a mess
It's a common situation
Even though you feel abandoned and alone
Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt
So don't panic when you hit the danger zone

Chorus:
What you need's a little change of heart
Forget this fear and frustration
Love will always play the greater part
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice -
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on you mind
Love will save the day
When you're feeling full of doubt
And fear has got you in a bind
Love will save the day
When your worlds falling apart
All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day
There's an answer in your heart
So let your light shine on my dear
And love will save the day
Love will save the day (X4)

Many things in this world bring you down
It's a wonder you can make it through the day
Well, you can't sleep cause your problems are to deep
And there's always something getting in the way
And when you turn on the evening news
Mass confusion is the only thing you see
Well there's no question that we need a new direction
Cause we all could use some peace and harmony

chorus

Love is gonna save the day
You've gotta believe it

. . .


words and music by: L.A Reid and Babyface

From the moment I saw you
I went outta my mind
Though I never believed in, love at first sight
But you got a magic
That I just can't explain
Well you got a, you got a way that you make me feel
I can do, I can do anything for you baby
I'll be down for you baby
Lay all my cards out tonight
Just call on me baby
I'll be there in a hurry
It's your move, so baby
Baby decide!

Chorus:
Whatever you want from me
I'm givin' you everything
I'm your baby tonight
You've given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I'm your baby tonight

From the second you touched me
I was ready to die
I've never been fatal, you're my first time
I feel like an angel, who just started to fly
Well you got a, you got a way that you make me
Feel I can, feel I can, do anything for you baby
I will fly for you baby, hold on and enjoy the ride
I'm not in no hurry, We can fly all night baby
It's your move, now baby
Baby let's fly!

chorus

Whatever I do boy
It's all about you baby
And ain't the truth boy
I'm helplessly in love with you
What else can I do boy
But be there for you baby
You got a, you got a way that you make a me
Feel I can, feel I can do any, do anything

chorus

Looks like I'm fatal, It's all on the table
And baby you hold the cards, You got the magic
And I've got to have it, I don't want the pieces
I want every single part, I'll be your angel
I'm ready and able, Whatever you want is fine
Whenever you're ready, just call on your lady
And I'll be your baby tonight

chorus

. . .


music and lyrics by Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly

I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keepp your photo right beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fanticies
I can't get you out of my head

I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own
Shouldn't get so hung up on you

(Chorus)
I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby

Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do

I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk I just watch your mouth

chorus

Words and Music by George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls loneliness calls

Chorus:
Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Soon or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

chorus

. . .


Words and Music by George Merrill, Shannon Rubicarn, Narada Michael Walden

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

chorus

If he loves me, if he loves me not (X3)

chorus

Written By Hammond/Bettis

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

. . .


Written By Francis Scott Key
(September 20, 1814)

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
