An empty street
an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are
getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
my love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing
with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself
From thinking
oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they
are the days we had
The songs we sang
together oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
that seems so far
So I say
a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
to hold you in my arms
To promise you
my love
To tell you
from the heart
You're all
I'm thinking of
I'm reaching
for a love that
Seems so far so so
I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams
will take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you once again
my love
Over seas from
coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you once again
say a little prayer
Dreams will
take me there
Where the skies
are blue
To see you
once again
Over seas
from coast to coast
To find the place
I love the most
Where the fields
are green
To see you
once again my love-

Look
if you had
One shot
one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
One moment
would you capture it
Or just let it slip yo
his palms are sweaty
Knees weak arms
are heavy
There's vomit
on his sweater
Alredy mom's spaghetti
he's nervous
But on the surface
he looks calm
And ready
to drop bombs
But he keeps on
forgettin
What he wrote down
the whole crowd
Goes so loud yo
he open his mouth
But the words
won't come out
He's chokin how
everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out
time's up over bloah
Snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
Oh there goes rabbit
he choked
He's so mad
but he won't
Give up that is he
no he won't have it
He knows his whole
back city's ropes
I don't matter
he's dope
He knows that
but he's broke
He's so stacked
that he knows
When he goes back
to his mobile home
That's when it's back
to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
he better go capture
This moment and
hope it don't pass him
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own
it you better
Never let it go ho
you only get one shot
Do not miss
your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once
In a lifetime
you better
The soul's escaping
through this hole
That it's gaping
this world is mine
For the taking
make me king
As we move toward
a new world order
A normal life is borin
but superstardom's
Close to post mortar
it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
he blows us all over
These hoes is
all on him
Coast to coast shows
he's know
As the globetrotter
lonely roads
God only knows
he's know father
From home
he's no father
He goes home
and barely knows
His own daughter
but hold your nose
Cuz here
goes the cold water
His hoes don't want
him no mo
He's cold product
they moved on
To the next schmoe
who flows
He nose dove and
sold nada
So the soap opera is
told and unfolds
I suppose
it's old potna
But the beat goes on
da da dum de dom
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity comes
Once in a lifetime
you better
No more games
I'm a change
What you call rage
tear this mothafuckin
Roof off like
2 doas cased
I was playing
in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up
And spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin
and stepwritin
The next cypher
best believe
Somebody's payin
the pied piper
All the pain inside
amplified by the fact
That I can't get by
with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide
the right type of
Life for my family
cuz man
These goddam
food stamps
Don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
There's
no Mekhi phifer
This is my life
and these times
Are so hard
and it's getting
Even harder
trying to feed
And water my seed
plus see dishonor
Caught up between
bein a father
And a prima donna
baby mama drama's
Screamin on and
too much for me
To wanna stay
in one spot
Another jam or not
has gotten me
To the point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot fore
I end up in jail
or shot success is
My only mothafuckin
option failure's not
Mam I love you
but this trail has
Got to go
I cannot grow old
In salem's lot so
here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not
cuz maybe
The only opportunity
that I got
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Comes once
in a lifetime
You better
lose yourself
In the music
the moment
You own it you better
never let it go ho
You only get one shot
do not miss
Your chance to blow
this opportunity
Come once
in a lifetime
You better
you can do anything
You set your mind
to man-

Love me tender
love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life
Complete And
I love you so
Love me tender
love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling
I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that
I belong And
we'll never part
Love me tender
love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling
I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through
all the years
Till the end of time
Love me tender
love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling
I love you
And I always will.

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-

I fell in love with you
watching Casablanca
Back row at
the drive in show in
the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes
beneath the stars
became champagne
and caviar
Making love on a long
hot summer's night
I thought you fell in
love with me
watching Casablanca
Holding hands beneath
the paddle fans
in Rick's candle
lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows
from the spies
Moroccan moonlight
in your eyes
Making magic
at the movies
in my old chevrolet
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not
a kiss without
your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

I guess there are many
broken hearts
in Casablanca
You know I've never
really been there so
I don't know
I guess our love story
will never be seen
on the big wide
silver screen
But it hurt just as bad
when I had to watch
Ooh a kiss is still
a kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
Ooh a kiss is still a
kiss in Casablanca
But a kiss is not a
kiss without your sigh
please come back to me
in Casablanca
I love you
more and more each day
as time goes by
I love you
more and
more each day
as time goes by-

This is gonna
hurt
But I blame myself
first
'Cause I ignored
the truth
Drunk off of that love
my head up
There's no forgetting
you
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
I loved you
dangerously
Usually
I hold the power
With both my hands
tied behind my back
Look at
how things changed
'Cause now you're
the train
And I'm tied
to the track
You've awoken me
but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
gave you all of me
And now honestly
I got nothing left
'Cause I loved you
dangerously
More than the air
that I breathe
Knew we would crash
at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Baby I loved you
dangerously
You took me down down
down down
And kissed my lips
with goodbye
I see it now now
now now
It was a matter
of time
You know
I know
There's only one place
this could lead
But you are the fire
and I'm gasoline
I love you I love you
I love you
I loved you
dangerously
Woo more than the air
that I breathe
Oh now knew we would
crash at the speed
That we were going
didn't care
If the explosion
ruined me
Oh oh baby I loved you
dangerously mmm mmm
Woo I loved you
dangerously
Woo I loved you
dangerously

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
sence of pride
to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
Everybody's
searching for a hero
people need someone
to look up to
I never found anyone
who full filled
my needs
A lonely place to be
and so I learned
to depend on me
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
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've 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 sence
of pride to make
it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us
how we used to be
I decided long ago
never to walk
in anyone's shadow
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've 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
And if by chance
that special place
That you've been
dreaming of
leads you to
a lonely place
find
Your strength
in love ~

Time it needs time
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
can bring back
your love someday
I will be there
I will be there-

I'll fight babe
I'll fight
To win back your
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love only love
Can break down
the walls someday
I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you-

Try babe try
To trust in my
love again
I will be there
I will be there
Love our love
Just shouldn't
be throw
away I will be there
I will be there
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The thing that killed
our love
your pride has
built a wall
So strong That
I can't get through
Is there really
no chance
To start once again
If we'd go again
All the way
from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed
our love
Yes I've hurt you pride
and I know what
you've been through
You should give me
a chance
This can't be the end
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I'm still loving you--
I need your love
I'm still loving you---

I'm still loving you--
I need your love

Oh my heart
won't believe
that you have left me
I keep telling myself
that it's true
I can get over anything
you want my love
but I can't get myself
over you
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me my love
On my wall lies
a photograph
of you girl- -
though I try to forget
you somehow
You're the mirror
of my soul so take me
out of my whole let me
try to go on living
right now
Don't forget to
remember me
and the love that
used to be
I still remember you
I love you in my heart
lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to
remember me
my love.

Hey Jude don't
make it bad
Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let
her into your heart
Then your car start
to make it better
Hey Jude don't
be afraid
You were made to
go out and get her
The minute you
let her under your
skin Then you begin
to make it better
And any time you feel
the pain
Hey Jude refrain

upon your shoulders
For well you know that
it's a fool
who plays it cool
By making his world
a little the colder
Da da da da da da

Hey Jude don't let
me down
You have found her
now go and get her
Remember to let her
into your heart
Then you can start
to make it better
So let it out and
let it in
Hey Jude begin you're
waiting for someone
to perform with
And don't you know
that it's just you
Hey Jude You'll do
the movement you need
is on your shoulder
Da da da da da da

bad Take a sad song
and make it better
Remember to let her
under your skin
Then you'll begin
to make it better

Listen to the song
here in my heart
A melody I start
but can't complete
Listen to the sound
from deep within
It's only beginning
to find release
Oh the time
has come
For my dreams to
be heard
They will not
be pushed
Aside and turned
into your own
All cause you won't
listen
Listen I am
alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
You should
have listened
There is
someone here inside
Someone I'd thought
had died So long ago
Oh I'm screamin'
out and
My dreams
will be heard
They will not be
pushed aside or worse
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen
listen
I am alone at
a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
I don't know
where I belong
But I'll be
movin on
If you don't
if you won't
Listen
to the song
Here in my heart
a melody I've start
But I will complete
oh Now I'm done
Believin you
you don't know
What I'm feelin
I'm more than what
You made of me
I followed the voice
You think you
gave to me
But now I gotta find
my own my own

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
will always
love you
You
my darling you
Eum-- bitter sweet
memories
that is all
I'm taking with me
so good-bye
Please don't cry
with both know
I'm not what you need
and I will always
love you
will always
love you Eum---

I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope You
have all you dreamed
of
and I wish you joy
and happiness
but above all
I wish you love

love you
I will always
love you

I'll always
Love you

No I can't forget
this evening or your
face as you were
leaving
but I guess
that's just the
way the story goes
You always smile
but in your eyes
your sorrow shows
yes it shows
No I can't forget
tomorrow
when I think
of all my sorrow
and I had you there
but then I let you go
And now it's only
fair that I should
let you know
what you should know
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is
without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
No I can't forget
this evening or your
face as you were
leaving
but I guess
that's just the
way the story goes
You always
smile but in your
eyes your sorrow shows
yes it shows
I can't live
if living
is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
if living
is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
if living
is without you.

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

Oh my love
my darling
I've hungered for
your touch along
Lonely time
And Time goes by
So slowly
and time can do
So much Are you
still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
to me
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea to the sea
To the open arms
to the sea yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered
for your touch
A long
lonely time
And Time goes
by so slowly
And time can do
so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I I need
your love
God speed your
love to me

When I was young
I'd listen to the
radio waitin' for my
fav'rite songs
when they played
I'd sing along it
made me smile
Those were such happy
times and not so
long ago how I
wondered where
they'd gone
But they're back
again just like a
long lost friend all
the songs I love
so well Ev'ry
sha la la la ev'ry
wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
When they get to the
part where he's
breaking her heart it
can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Lookin' back on how it
was in years
gone by and the good
times that I had
makes today
seem rather sad
so much has changed
It was songs of love
that I would sing
to them and
I'd memories each word
Those old melodies
still lost so good
to me as they melt
the years away
Ev'ry sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still shine
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
All my best memories
come back clearly
to me some can even
make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday
once more
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines
Ev'ry shing a ling
a ling that they're
startin' to sing
so fine
Ev'ry Sha la la la
ev'ry wo wo still
shines-

Life is a moment
in space
When the dream
is gone
It's a lonelier
place
I kiss the morning
goodbye
But down
inside
You know
we never know why
The road is narrow
and long
When eyes meet
eyes
And the feeling
is strong
I turn away
from the wall
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
What do
I do?
With you
eternally mine in love
There is no
measure of time
We planned it all
at the start
That you and I live in
each other's heart
We may be oceans away
you feel my love
I hear
what you say
The truth is
ever a lie
I stumble
and fall
But I give you
it all

And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
What do
I do?
I am a woman
in love
And I'm talking to you
I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right
I defend over
and over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again
I am a woman
in love
And I'd
do anything
To get you
into my world
And hold you within
It's a right
I defend over and
over again

I've been alone
with you inside my mind
And in my dreams
I've kissed your lips
a thousand times
I sometimes
see you pass
outside my door
Hello is it me you're
looking for
I can see it
in your eyes
I can see it
in your smile
You're all
I've ever wanted
and my arms
are open wide
Cause you know just
what to say
and you know just
what to do
And I want to tell you
so much I love you
I long to see the
sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and
time again
how much I care
Sometimes I feel my
heart will overflow
Hello I've just got to
let you know
Cause I wonder
where you are
and I wonder
what you do
Are you somewhere
feeling lonely
or is someone
loving you
Tell me how to
win your heart for
I haven't got a clue
But let me start by
saying I love you

Hello is it me
you're looking for
Cause I wonder
where you are
and I wonder
what you do
Are you somewhere
feeling lonely
or is someone
loving you
Tell me how to
win your heart
for I haven't
got a clue
But let me start by
saying I love you

No New Year's Day
to celebrate
no choc'late covered
candy hearts to
give away
No first of spring-
no song to sing
In fact here's just
another ordinary day
No April rain
no flowers bloom
no wedding Saturday
within-
the month of June
But what it is-
is something true
made up of
these three
words that
I must say to you
I just called to say
I love you
I just called to say
how much I care
I just called to say
I love you
And I mean it from
the bottom of
my heart
No summer's high
no warm July
no harvest moon
to light
one tender
August night
No autumn- breeze-
no falling- leaves
Not even time for
birds to fly
to southern skies
No Libra sun
no Halloween-
no giving
thanks to all
the Christmas-
joy you bring
But what it is-
though old so new
To fill your
heart like
no three words
could ever- do
I just called to say
I love you
I just called to say
how much I care
I just called to say
I love you
And I mean it
from the
bottom of my heart
I just called to say
I love you
I just called to say
how much I care
I just called to say
I love you
And I mean it
from the
bottom of my heart
of my heart
baby of my heart

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).
