Lionel Richie Album

Golden days, life was play
Pain was all a world away
We went to school we learned the rules
We trusted all they had to say
Then life took a turn
We all had to learn
And we can't go back again

And my heart is breaking
Just for you, just for you
And my arms are open
Just for you, just for you
Just for you

God was god, dreams were dreams
Life was all big and I scream
Truth was true and lies were lies
We thought love would never die
But the world moved on
My illusions gone
And I don't know who to blame

And my heart is breaking
Just for you, just for you
And my arms are open
Just for you, just for you
And these tears I'm crying
Are for you, just for you
Just for you

I'm looking for protection
Give me shelter from the storm
I just hope this light inside me keeps me strong
Ohhhh ohhhh

And my heart is breaking
Just for you, just for you
And my arms are open
Just for you, just for you
And these tears I'm crying
Are for you, just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Ohhh my heart is breaking (My heart is breaking)
And my arms are open (And my arms are open)
Ohhh these tears I'm crying (These tears im crying)
There just for you (Are just for you)

I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me

I still believe there's a reason, there's a meaning to why we're here
There is a place where we can go to where we don't have to live in fear
They're trying to tell me that the moon is in the ocean.
And I'm just dreaming my life away

I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
I still believe true love is the answer, don't turn away
Cos I believe in love, that's the only way

I believe in every moment, every heartbeat that we're here
And we're a part of each other and forever it seems so clear
I don't believe that I'm just walking in the darkness
Or that I'm lost without a prayer

I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me

Oh now love is the answer and oh it's right here
And I know we've got to remember it's only together for now and forever

I still believe in you and me
Still believe the sun will shine on me
I still believe true love is the answer
Don't turn away, Cos I believe in love
Cos I believe in love, Cos I believe in love and that's the only way

So I still walk on through the night and through the rain
I would give it all
Just to be with you again

It's a lonely road
For my heart is still in chains
But I live my life just to be with you again

We have walked together where angels go
And we found a place inside us that only we could know

So I still walk on through the night and through the rain
I would give it all
Just to be with you again

That's the way life goes
I go whispering the wind
But I take that for
Just to be with you again
Can I find a reason
Can I find a way
Cause the words I need to tell you
Are the words I didn't say

So I still walk on through the night and through the rain
I would give it all
Just to be with you again

I see you standing in the doorway
With that looks in your eyes
And the feeling that I feel will never die

So I still walk on through the night and through the rain
I would give it all
Just to be with you again

Well that's the way life goes
I go whispering the wind
I would give it all
Just to be with you again
It's a lonely road
For my heart is still in chains
But I live my life just to be with you again

She came on scene
I felt like I was in a movie, She parted the room
The way that Moses did the Red Sea
And from across the room
I felt her body talking to me (yeah)

Cause thing about her, thing about her
Is she was amazing, So amazing

[Chorus:]
She's amazing
She's amazing

No man alive would ever dream of talking to her
She gave off a vibe like
Come Tom, I want to see ya
And for whatever reason, I was feeling lucky that day

Cause thing about her, thing about her
Is she was amazing, So amazing

[Chorus]

She's amazing in the daylight, She's amazing in the night,
Once you see her, She's the only thing on your mind

She's amazing, She's amazing, Every time she walks in to the room
She's a party girl, She's a party girl
Start dancing in the streets, Cause she's amazing

She's a party girl ...

Here I am standing in the mirror, looking in my eyes
Trying not to fool myself, and realize
Times are getting harder for us to get along
Everything about this love is all going wrong
You keep on telling me to do this, do that,
And I need to change my ways
But I think that maybe the price of this love,
Is too high to pay

Ball and chain, Is the feeling that I am feeling tonight
When love's a, Ball and chain,
It don't matter who's wrong or right

I keep on living in confusion, wondering where I am at
Trying to figure out if I should do this thing or that
I can't see the future, and I can't change the past
But I'm feeling that this love of ours just ain't gonna last
I've been down one time, two times, three times, fou
I've been waiting for times to get better,
And I can't take it no more

Ball and chain, that's the feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, Ball and chain,
It don't matter who's wrong or right

Time, I would love for time to be on our side
But I know that this love affair, Is all over now

Ball and chain, it's a feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, Ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right,
This love's a, Ball and chain,
It's a feeling that I am feeling inside
When love's a, Ball and chain,
It don't matter who's wrong or right

The world is a party [x4]
As I watch the world as it keeps spinning round
And try to figure out what's going down
With so much joy and love in demand
Why can't we get it right and understand

[Chorus:]
The world is a party [x4]

Look at the faces out there everywhere
There is a happiness we all can share
Walk in the sunshine come out the rain
It's time to face the truth that we're all the same

[Chorus]

It's so right it can't be wrong
All you got to do is come along
It's our time to celebrate
Tonight it's gonna be that way

[Chorus]

It's so right it can't be wrong
All you got to do is come along
It's our time to celebrate
Tonight it's gonna be that way

The world is a party, The world is a party...

(feat. Lenny Kravitz)

Hey, I can see that smile on your face
Tonight
Memories will never erase
And I feel like our time has come
Our hearts are beating wild as one
True love I know is hard to find
But you tonight you're mine

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

Hey, I hope you feel the same way I feel
Cause tonight
The moon, the stars, this moment so real
To once
We have every thing
Our hearts have a song to sing
We now know that dream's come true
Cause now there's me and you

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

Didn't we dance the night away
What can I say to you
You make life a holiday
Let's go and play
Let's go and play

Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight (I'm saying)
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight

(Come on and sing the song
Come on and sing along)

She's outrageous, scandalous
The way she rocks is too much
And she's fire and rain, She blows your brains
The way she works that body

And she'll tease ya and she'll please ya
She'll make you feel like you're king of the world
She's so funny takes your money
Ah! But that's just what she does

And it's all night baby, And it's alright baby

She's outrageous, scandalous
The way she rocks is too much
And she's fire and rain, She blows your brains
The way she works that body

There's no weakness to her sweetness
She's as nasty as you wanna be
Can't deny her your desire
She'll love you good and set you free

And it's all night baby, And it's alright baby

She's outrageous, scandalous
The way she rocks is too much
And she's fire and rain, She blows your brains
The way she works that body

Just you and me baby, You're driving me crazy
I'll spend a little more money, On you and me honey

Been a long time
Since I've seen your face
You've been on my mind
Like a dream I can't erase
It's time for me to come home to you

I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven
Comin' home to you

Been a long time
Since last time we made love
All the things we used to do baby
All the things that made me fall in love

I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven
I'm on the road to heaven
Comin' home to you

[Repeat]
I'm coming home [x8]

Comin' home to you

Too long I've been walking around wondering,
But I'm coming home to you

Dance for the world, Dance for the world

People it's time now, Something's got to change
People, We no longer can live in pain

We've got to find the truth, We've got to know where it is
Cause we stand here together, Fighting year after year

We're lost in our search, We've been longing to find
We can't hold back no longer, Cause we're running out of time

Dance for the world [x4]

People, my people, We've gone too far, It's time now
To find out just who we really are

I know you're weary, Your hearts full of fear
I see the hope inside you, Behind all the tears

Dance for the world [x4]

If we could all just love one another,
We would see there is nothing more important
Or greater than love for the people

I would dance for the world, I would sing for the world
I would pray for the world, People dance for the world

(feat. Daniel Bedingfield)

She was all that I could ask for
I could see it in her eyes, And her smile told me
That I was on her mind, And you should have seen the way
That she looked at me across the room
I could see her thinking, man that boy is fine

Do ya know she's tryin' to fool ya
I know what she's doin' to ya, She loves me more than you
Ya, ya know she wants me, Do ya think I'd lose her to ya
But you don't get that, do ya
You know she's nothing to ya, She wants me

So what makes you think a girl like her could fall in love with you
When a guy like me has everything she needs
Well, I don't believe you understand, The power of my game
You just got to know that girl is into me

Do ya know she's tryin' to fool ya
I know what she's doin' to ya, She loves me more than you
Ya, ya know she wants me, Do ya think I'd lose her to ya
But you don't get that, do ya
You know she's nothing to ya, She wants me

I don't care how much you say, You think about my girl, about my girl
But I'm telling you I know she's feeling me
You just might wanna think twice
About messin' with my girl, with my girl
She's my girl, she's my girl, And I know she want me

Do ya know she's tryin' to fool ya
I know what she's doin' to ya, She loves me more than you
Ya, ya know she wants me, Do ya think I'd lose her to ya
But you don't get that, do ya
You know she's nothing to ya, She wants me

She wants me, She wants me, And I know that she wants me

Do ya know she's tryin' to fool ya
I know what she's doin' to ya, She loves me more than you
Ya, ya know she wants me, Do ya think I'd lose her to ya
But you don't get that, do ya
You know she's nothing to ya, She wants me

Dance for the world, Dance for the world

People it's time now, Something's got to change
People, We no longer can live in pain

We've got to find the truth, We've got to know where it is
Cause we stand here together, Fighting year after year

We're lost in our search, We've been longing to find
We can't hold back no longer, Cause we're running out of time

Dance for the world (x4)

People, my people, We've gone too far, It's time now
To find out just who we really are

I know you're weary, Your hearts full of fear
I see the hope inside you, Behind all the tears

Dance for the world (x4)

If we could all just love one another,
We would see there is nothing more important
Or greater than love for the people

I would dance for the world, I would sing for the world
I would pray for the world, People dance for the world

We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try

We've got so many road before us
There are mountains we must climb
But who will show us

There's a hundred million stories in the sand
But there's only one thing we must understand
If we can, Yes we can, Ah

We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try

We've got so much pain and confusion
Are we living for the truth or an illusion?

All this fighting cannot get us very far
If we don't stop and see just who we are
Can't go far, We can't go far, Woah

We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try

We just need to walk together
We just need to talk together
We just need to come together
In our hearts

We only have one world, We only have one love
We have so little time together you and I
And all we have to do is try

You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life? And anyone who knew us
both can see We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free And all this pain, when does it go away?

Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know

I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew, to you To you

From memory there is no hiding place Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

Then everytime I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know

I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew

To you I wish you everything And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes Oh, and even though I fell the pain
I know that you will love again The time will come and you'll move on

I gotta long long way to go Before I can say
goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Gotta long way to go Before I can say goodbye
Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew
To all I ever knew I gotta long way to go
Before I say Say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl Oh and all of the rest to you

You're the light
That shooting start that's in the sky
How did I. Get to be by your side

I say these words tonight,
You are my pure daylight
I want to stay with you,
And love my life away it's a brand new day

It seems like heaven
When I'm laying with you
It feels so good. There's no angel
That can compare to you,
You're not of this world

Girl I smile, Cause you let every beat of my heart
Feels so right, With you I have
a brand new start

Your beauty is in my eyes,
My heart I can't deny
I want to stay with you, And love my life away
It's brand new day

It feels like heaven, When I'm laying with you
It feels so good. There's no angel
That can compare to you,
You're not of this world

Your beauty is in my eyes,
My heart I can't deny
I want to stay with you, And love my life away
It's brand new day

It feels like heaven, When I'm laying with you
It feels so good. There's no angel
That can compare to you,
You're not of this world

It feels like heaven, When I'm laying with you
It feels so good. There's no angel
That can compare to you,
You're not of this world
