Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

[Chorus:]
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

[Chorus]

Although the sun will never shine the same again
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

[Chorus]

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Words and Music by Eric Bazilian 

If god had a name, what would it be? 
And would you call it to his face 
if you were faced with Him in all His glory? 
What would you ask if you had just one question? 

And yeah, yeah, God is great. 
Yeah, yeah, God is good. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
What if god was one of us, 
just a slob like one of us, 
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home? 

If God had a face, what would it look like? 
And would you want to see 
if seeing meant that you would have to believe 
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints 
and all the prophets? 

And yeah, yeah, God is great. 
Yeah, yeah, God is good. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
What if god was one of us, 
just a slob like one of us, 
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home? 

Just trying to make his way home, back up to heaven all alone. 
Nobody calling on the phone, 
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome. 

Yeah, yeah, God is great. 
Yeah, yeah, God is good. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
What if god was one of us, 
just a slob like one of us, 
just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home, 
just trying to make his way home, just like a holy rolling stone? 
Back up to heaven all alone, just trying to make his way home. 

Nobody calling on the phone, 

There used to be a graying time all alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remain a drug gets me high, that's how I feel

Did you know that when it snows my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be see
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
The more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grave

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe?

But did you know that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be seen
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grave

I've been kissed by a rose on the grave, I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rise on the grave (If I should fall...)

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe

But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged
And the light that you shine can be seen
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam
She'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping
At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
His self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money
The best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me

Chorus:
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
You're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is baby it's good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse
In the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me

Chorus

I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

Chorus

they read you Cinderella
you hoped it would come true
that one day your prince charming would come rescue you
you like romantic movies
and you never will forget
the way it felt when Romeo kissed Juliette
and all this time that you've been waiting
you don't have to wait no more
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
if you give me a chance, I can love you like that

I never make a promise
I don't intend to keep
so when I say forever
forever's what I mean
I'm no Casanova
but I swear this much is true,
I'll be holding nothing back
when it comes to you
you dream of love that's everlasting
well baby open up your eyes...

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
if you give me a chance, I can love you like that

if you want tenderness
I've got tenderness
and I see through to the heart of you
if you want a man
who will understand
you don't have to look very far

I can love you, girl I can (I can love you love you)
oh baby oh...
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
be all that you need
show you you're everything that's precious to me
I can love you like that
I can make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
my heart my heart my world
show you you're everything (you're everything to me)
love you like that
I can make you my world
move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
my heart my heart my world
show you you're everything

Written and Composed by R. Kelly

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Oh yeah

1 - Baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't you know that you're so fine? (Yeah)
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I think about you all the time (Yeah)

I guess it's time to say baby, baby
How you make me feel when you come to mind
I can't keep my cool baby, baby
I can't hold it inside

I can't wait each day
Just to see you walk
Trying to move in close
To get to where you are

Not trying to be rude baby, baby
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I'm telling you

Repeat 1

Words just ain't enough baby, baby
But that's all I can use to state my intentions
Hope it gets to love baby, baby yeah
It's a perfect situation

Cuz we fit together like a hand in glove
Just to be with you is all I'm thinking of
Whoa, oh yeah
What else can I say baby, oh baby?
We are alone and I'm singing this song to you

Repeat 1 (2x)

(Baby)
My darling, oh baby
You're all I'm thinking of (Baby)
My darling, oh baby
You're all I need in life

2 - Yay, yay, yay, yay
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Yay, yay, yay, yay
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay

Repeat 2

Repeat 1 (2x)

Repeat 2 till end

Baby, baby, baby, baby

She sits alone by a lamppost 
trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind 
She says Dad's the one I love the most 
but Stipe's not far behind 
She lets me in 
only tell me where's she's been 
when she's had too much to drink 
I say that I don't care I just run my hands 
through her dark hair and I pray to God 
you gotta help me fly away 
And just¡­ 
Let her cry¡­if the tears fall down like rain 
Let her sing¡­if it eases all her pain 
Let her go¡­let her walk right out on me 
And if the sun comes up tomorrow 
Let her be¡­let her be. 
This morning I woke up alone 
found a note by the phone 
saying maybe I'll be back some day 
I wanted to look for you 
You walked in I didn't know just what to do 
so I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself. 
-Chorus- 
-Solo- 
-Chorus- 
Last nite I tried to leave 
She cried so much I just 
could not believe 
she was the same girl I 
fell in love with long ago 
She went in the back to 
get high 
I sat down on my couch 
and cried 
yelling oh mama please 
help me 
won't you hold my hand. 
-Chorus- 

This is what a woman wants...
Any man of mine better be proud of me
Even when I'm ugly he still better love me
And I can be late for a date that's fine
But he better be on time

Any man of mine'll say it fits just right
When last year's dress is just a little too tight
And anything I do or say better be okay
When I have a bad hair day

And if I change my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Well any man of mine better disagree
When I say another woman's lookin' better than me
And when I cook him dinner and I burn it black
He better say, mmmm, I like it like that yeah

And if I changed my mind
A million times
I wanna hear him say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I like it that way

Any man of mine better walk the line
Better show me a teasin' squeezin' pleasin' kinda time
I need a man who knows, how the story goes
He's gotta be a heartbeatin' fine treatin'
Breathtakin' earthquakin' kind
Any man of mine

You gotta shimmy shake
Make the earth quake
Kick, turn, stomp, stomp, then you jump
Heel to toe, Do Si Do
'Til your boots wanna break
"Til your feet and your back ache
Keep it movin' 'til you just can't take anymore
Come on everybody on the floor
A-one two, a-three four
Hup two, hum
If you wanna be a man of mine, that's right
This is what a woman wants...
