Craig David Album

I promise me, I wouldn't cry
When the time came girl too say goodbye
I always knew that one day we would part
I always knew that you would break my heart

But that was a chance I had to take
And even though I knew that it would cause me pain
Just one look and I lost my way
And if you ask to do the same again

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
In the shadows of love

Some things in life are too good to resist
Opportunities that shouldn't be missed
But from the first time that I laid my eyes on you
I knew right then, I couldn't stop even if I wanted to

Cause some have you got under my skin
My heart was left with nothing stopped you breaking in
And even now I know that we through, over and over
I just wanna kiss you

Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Don't you need me baby? Don't you love me baby?
Don't you need me girl? Yeah yeah
Don't you need me baby? Don't you feel me baby?
Don't you need me girl? No

IÂґm just a man with the hole in my life
No stars are dancing in my sky tonight
Baby I need you to make this thing right
I can't be alone, not more one night

Oh baby
Standing in the shadows of love
Waiting for the heartache to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Oh waiting for the heartache to come
Don't you need me baby? Don't you feel me baby?
Don't you need me girl? No
Standing in the shadows of love baby

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)

I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean, hey yeah yeah didn't I?

Seem a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Oowee baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Ooooh baby

Gilrl wanna comes to love
Nobody walks way on ??????
And you know wanna comes to love
Nobody guess enough

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I found out yesterday.
Don't you know that...

(Chorus:)
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see,
Cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else.
Instead...

(Chorus)

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know...

(Chorus)

Imagine, Imagine

You put your hand on my hand
And you led me to dance on the floor
It was like we were both in a
trance, like it felt
Something more than you could disguise
But behind your smile
There was fear in your eyes

Did someone hurt you?
Did they break you heart?
Are the wounds still fresh?
Do you heal the scars?
Cause I just turn around
And you disappeared, oh
Were you even here?

Or was it my imagination?
So real I can't believe this wasn't true
Or was it my imagination?
It put me in a time or place with you

Tell me girl what you are you running from
I can't help wondering where you've gone
I'm thinkin' maybe I got it wrong
God damn I should have known that
You were just a fantasy
Was it my imagination?

Though I tried my best
I still couldn't forget
So I drive every night
Past the spot where we met
And I hope one day
That I'll see your face
But you're never here

Or was it my imagination?
So real I can't believe this wasn't true
Or was it my imagination?
It put me in a time or place with you

Tell me girl what you are you running from
I can't help wondering where you've gone
I'm thinkin' maybe I got it wrong
God damn I should have known that
You were just a fantasy
Was it my imagination?

Imagine, you and me together
And a love that will last forever
Imagine, that it's late December
Been a year but I still remember
Imagine, meeting you girl
meant so much to me
Imagine, Oh no

Or was it my imagination?
So real I can't believe this wasn't true
Or was it my imagination?
It put me in a time or place with you

Tell me girl what you are you running from
I can't help wondering where you've gone
I'm thinkin' maybe I got it wrong
God damn I should have known that
You were just a fantasy
Was it my imagination?

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long

For once, unafraid
I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before

For once I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once I can say
"This is mine, you can't take it!"
Long as I know I have love I can make it

For once in my life I have someone who needs me

(Someone who needs me)
(Someone who needs me)

(For once in my life )

(I'm not alone anymore)

(Would make my dream come true)

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hert me
Not like its hert me before

For once I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once I can say
"This is mine, you can't take it!"
Long as I know I have love I can make it

For once in my life I have someone who needs me

(Someone who needs me)
(Someone who needs me)
(Someone who needs me)
(Someone who needs me)
(Someone who needs me baby)
(Someone who needs me yeah)
(Someone who needs me baby)
(Someone who needs me yeah)
(Someone who needs me baby)

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Where did all the blue sky go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, east, south, and sea
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Radiation in the ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can you stand?
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
(someone who needs me yeah)
(mercy mercy me)
(mercy me)
ohhhh
(mercy mercy mercy)
(mercy me)
(mercy mercy mercy)
(mercy me)

Love is a hunger that burns in my soul
But you never noticed the pain.
Love in an anchor that wont let me go
I reached out to hold you
But you push me away and you always convinced me to stay.
And I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes
And I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you good bye Yeah,,, I wonder why

I'm no angel my selfish pride but I love you more everyday.
Love is an anger that builds a pain inside as a tears
of frustration roll down my face
But is love always have to turn out this way
And I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes
And I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you good bye OHHHH, I wonder why

I don't want to fight again tonight about the little things, please baby
I just wanna find my way back to love Ohhhh
I meet you there baby
(hold on) (break down) (can't seem)

And I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes
And I wonder why I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you good bye
I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes and
I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you good bye
Oh yeah and I wonder why I wonder why
NOO oh yeah I wonder why baby
And I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes
And I wonder why I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you good bye

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
HEARD talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
TalkIN about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
come on come on come on yeah
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad.
