Vanessa Williams Album

[No lyrics]

(feat. George Benson)

Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no I can't do
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no I can't do

I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool,
You know you love him more and more
Tell me why is it so?
I can't let him go
I never can say goodbye boy
I never can say goodbye
No no no no no no
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye
No no no no no no
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no I can't do
Don't say it
Never could, never would
I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinking that our problems soon are all gonna work out
There's that same unhappy feeling,
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hangup
I can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
(I can't let him go)
I never can say goodbye boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no I can't do
Don't say it
Don't say it
Never could, never would, never will, no I can't do
Don't say it

Whatever it is, it'll keep till morning
Haven't we both got better things to do, midnight blue
Even though simple things become rough
Haven't we had enough
I think we can make it
One more time, if we try
One more time for all the old times
For all the times you told me you need me
Needing me now is something I could use, midnight blue
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend
Maybe it's not the end
And I think we can make it
One more time, if we try
One more time for all the old times, midnight blue, midnight blue

I think we can make it
I think we can make it
Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend
Think of me as your friend
And I think we can make it
One more time, if we try
One more time for all of the old old times
Midnight blue, midnight blue, midnight blue, midnight blue...

These are the eyes
That never knew how to smile till you came into my life (do-do-do-do-do)
And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside every day and every night (do-do-do-do-do)
Boy, and here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can'tcha see I'm tryin' to show love is right?

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you"
So won't you show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

These are the hands
That can't help reaching for you if you're anywhere in sight
(Anywhere in sight)
And these are the lips
That can't help callin' your name in the middle of the night
(Middle of the night)

Whoa, and here is the man
Who needs to know where you stand
Dontcha know I've done all I can, so decide

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you" (I love you)
So won't you show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby

Ahh, here is the soul
Of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm tryin' to show love is right?

Ooh, show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "Oh, I love you"
So won't you show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you"
So won't you show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Show me baby
I love you
Say you do, say you do, baby, baby
Show and tell me baby
I love you

It takes L
And a O
And a V
And a E
It takes you
It takes me together
Huh, let's love
We've only got a day
Huh, let's love
To pass the time away

I've only known you for a moment
But I love you so desperately boy
If it wasn't the things people say now
You would be making love to me
Alright

It takes L
And a O
And a V
And a E
It takes you
It takes me together
Huh, let's love
We've only got a day
Huh, let's love
To pass the time away

They say that I'm cruel, that I'm evil
But how else can a starving girl be
If you wouldn't listen to what they say behind my back now
You would be making sweet love to me

It takes L
And a O
And a V
And a E
It takes you
It takes me together
Huh, let's love
We've only got a day
Huh, let's love
To pass the time away

Love on me
Have let me love on you understand
That's the natural thing to do
Stop listening to what people say boy
Start making sweet love to me
Let's do it
Please do it
Even you and me can do it
That's really nothing to it if you love me
Huh, let's love
We've only got a day
Huh, let's love
To pass the time away

Let's fall in love
You know we've only got one day, child
We should be making sweet love
To pass the time away

It takes L
And a O
And a V
And a E
It takes you
It takes me together
Huh, let's love
We've only got a day (so we've only got one day)
Huh, let's love
To pass the time away (pass the time away)

Ready
Let's do it
Please do it
Let's do it
Let's go and do it
Let's do it

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart moving my head
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt the earth move in my hand
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time, my love,
And last 'till the end of time

When I feel you dreaming
I think of sunsets
How high my high gets

[Chorus:]
I wanna give to you an everlasting love
I wanna fill your life with a satisfying love
All you need is an everlasting love
All you want is a mystifying love

Sun breezes, moonlight teases
Friendly invasion
Late night persuasion

[Chorus]

Each time you pass me by
You saw me fade away
I'll give you more each day

(feat. George Benson)

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Come bring me your softness
Comfort me through all this madness
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

Come give me your sweetness
Now there's you, there is no weakness
Lying safe within your arms, I'm born again
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again

I was half, not whole
In step with none
Reaching through this world
In need of one

Come show me your kindness
In your arms I know I'll find this
Woman, don't you know, with you I'm born again
Lying safe with you I'm born again

Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart

Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason
When it's straight from the heart

I've heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
Waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart's desire for love's passion

Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart

Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason
When its straight from the heart

I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love's glory

Show him your love
Don't hold back your feelings
You don't need a reason
When its coming from your heart

You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, everything is you

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
Everything is you

How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each man with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Oh you are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Everything is you

You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, everything is you

You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
Everything is you

You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, oh
You are, you are, everything, everything, everything is you

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is
Cry, cry, no more laughter
Oh, why did he go
Since he left my life's so empty
Though I try to forget it just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
'Cause I still love him so
I end each day as I start out
Crying my heart out

One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
Since he went away

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
Oh why did he go
Oh why did he go

(feat. James "D-Train" Williams)

I want to know
Just how you feel
Said I wanna know
If what you feel is real
'Cause there is a reason
For the things that I say
I wanna love ya boy
In a special way

We've been together, for so very long
I would hate to break up, break up my happy home
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things, there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you
(I'll be good to you, baby)
(I'll be good to ya, good to ya, good to ya)
(I'll be good to ya, good to ya, good to ya)
(I'll be good to ya, good to ya, good to ya)
(So so good, so so good)

We've been together
For very long time
I want to make up, I'll be yours, you shall be mine
So take a step, now, and let me know how
I'll let you know how
All of your ways, boy
All of my ways, girl
And all your know-how
The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things, there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try

I'll be good to you
(I'll be good to you, baby)
(I'll be good to ya, good to ya, good to ya)

All babies together
Everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied
Half of us in need

Love's bountiful in us
Tarnished by our greed
Oh, when will there be
A harvest for the world

Yeah, yeah, yeah

A nation planted
So concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go
Greater grows the pain

And far too many
Feelin' the strain
Oh, when will there be
A harvest for the world

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

When will there be
Gather every man
Gather every woman
Celebrate your lives
Give thanks for your children

Gather everyone (Gather everyone)
Gather all together (Gather all together)
Overlookin' none (Overlookin' none)
Hopin' life gets better for the world

Dress me up for battle
When all I want is peace
Those of us who pay the price
Come home with the least

And nation after nation
Turnin' into beasts
Oh, when will there be
A harvest for the world
For the world
For the world
For the world

When will there be a harvest
When will there be a harvest
When will there be a harvest
I wanna know now, now
When will there be a harvest {Harvest for the world}
When will there be a harvest {Harvest for the world}
When will there be a harvest {Harvest for the world}
A harvest, a harvest for the world

Today and everyday
I'm yours for all time
Today and everyday
Like a miracle
Baby, you are mine
And all the winds they blow us far far away
Don't you forget my promise
Listen to what I said
I'm yours today and everyday

I remember we're miles miles apart
When you confess your heart
Telephone in hand lying in ??? hotel, baby
Precious words I heard
Precious words you said

Today and everyday
I'm yours for all time
Today and everyday
Like a miracle
Baby, you are mine
And all the winds they blow us far far away
Don't you forget my promise
Listen to what I said
I'm yours today and everyday

I remember I was standing next to you
When our love was new
Could not believe my luck
Must be a blessing directly from above
Little did I know
That you would wanna hear these words about
The words that you were speaking to me now

Today and everyday
I'm yours for all time
Today and everyday
Like a miracle
Baby, you are mine
And all the winds they blow us far far away
Don't you forget my promise
Listen to what I said
I'm yours today and everyday
