Michael Bolton Album

Birds fly, they don't think twice
They simply spread their wings
The sun shines, it don't ask why
Or what the whole thing means

The same applies to you and I
We never question that
So good, it's just understood
Ain't no conjecture
Just a matter of fact

CHORUS
Love is a wonderful thing
Make ya smile through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again
Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing

The only thing a river knows
Is runnin' to the sea
And every spring when a flower grows
It happens naturally

The same magic when you're in my arms
No logic can define
Don't know why, just feels so right
I only know it happens every time

CHORUS

Oh when the cold wind blows
I know you're gonna be there to warm me
That's what keeps me goin'
And our sweet love will keep on growin'

CHORUS

Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
It's what makes honey taste sweet
It's what makes your life complete

So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view

Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain

CHORUS:
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever

Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old lucks gonna change

CHORUS:

Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong

CHORUS:
Baby 'cause I'm missing you now
And its drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till I'm alone with you
To show you how I'm missing you now

Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
holdin' you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul

CHORUS:

Baby I just can't wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I'm missing you now
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong

CHORUS

The tickin' of the clock, the beating of my heart
Pounding like a drum in the dark for you
If I could conquer time, I'd love you day and night
And make this moment last, baby all my life

Ask me how long I'll need you
Ask me how long I'll be there

CHORUS
Forever isn't long enough, to give you my love,
to give you my love
Till the end of time isn't time enough
For everything I wanna do
Forever isn't long enough, to give all my love, to you

I watch you as you sleep, I'm jealous of the night
I'd steal you from your dreams, just to buy more time
So much in my heart, so much in my soul
A lifetime ain't enough to ever let you know

Tell me this will be for always
Tell me you'll always be there

CHORUS

'Cause the time is passin' by, and the more it slips away
When I look into your eyes, I know...baby
It isn't long enough, to give you my love
Forever ain't enough to give it all to you
There isn't time enough to see it all through
Forever ain't enough to give my love to you

I can still remember
When all I had was time
A time when I had nothin'
But this empty heart of mine
When I needed inspiration
When the night was all I knew
You were the light shinin' into my life
The reason for all the love I'm feelin'

CHORUS
Now that I've found you
I don't know how I lived without you
I don't know how I survived without your love
Now that I've found you
I only know I'd be lost without you
I found the love
That I'll never find again
'Cause all I ever needed
And all I ever wanted
Has come true
I found it all now that I've found you

I could've searched forever
And never realized
The treasure of a lifetime
Was the love inside your eyes
When I reach for inspiration
In your touch, it's always there
Givin' me faith every step of the way
Givin' me all I ever needed

CHORUS

And every step of the way
Gonna dedicate my heart to you
Promise you my world forever
Pledgin' my love my whole life through

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman

Now it's ready or not
Boy, you better come on strong
Give it all you've got
'Cause they'll really turn the pressure on
And you find it strange
But it's so insane

When you know ya don't believe that
You're part of their game
The bell rings and you come out
Fightin' just the same, yeah

CHORUS
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
Yeah

In the marketplace
Nobody's foolin' around
And ya keep the pace
Or they tell ya, buddy, please step down

There may be a smile
Or a shake of the hand
But it's policy to take you
Anyway they can
And it's everybody lookin' out
For number one, understand

CHORUS

It's alright, welcome to the world

There's always somethin' new about you
Always somethin', takes me by complete surprise
Every time I see you, I see a part of you
Ooh, I've never seen before

Every day and night, the more we know each other
Every single time, the more that I discover

CHORUS
It's a new love, always feels like a new love
Every touch is feelin' so much
Like the very first touch
Like a new love, always feels like a new love
It's never old, whenever we make love
And I can't get enough of this new love

I'm still excited, just talkin' to you
I'm still inspired, just walkin' next to you
Girl the way I need you
I find as time goes by, ooh I need you even more

Nothin' feels as good, as good as us together
Nothin' in the world, no, there ain't nothin' better than this...

CHORUS

We can just go on and on
Long as we keep this love
Long as we keep this love a....

CHORUS

Tonight I feel like a prisoner
On fire, waiting desperately
Denied, sentenced forever more
Only your love can set me free

I search my heart is vain
To understand what I'm suppose to do
Ain't never felt this way
But there was never anyone like you

CHORUS
Lover you've gotta save me, oh woman don't you drive me crazy
Lover you've gotta save me, believe me
You're the one, won't ya come and save me

Inside, so deep in the heart of me
You've got this power, I just can't explain
In this life, this world of insanity
I'm at your mercy when you call my name

Something in your touch defies all reason
With you passion rules
I never felt this much
But there was never anyone like you

CHORUS

Take me through this fire, this raging wall of flames
Only you can break me from these chains

CHORUS

Save me

In the night I hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go

I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and I just can't break these....

CHORUS:
Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain

CHORUS:

And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you

CHORUS
