Reelin In The Years
Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand
Chorus:
Are you reelin in the years
Stowin away the time
Are you gatherin up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin me youre a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time Ive known you
I still dont know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didnt turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I cant understand
Chorus
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things weve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I cant understand

Someday Never Comes
First thing I remember was askin papa, why? ,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin, someday youll understand.
Chorus:
Well, Im here to tell you now each and evry mothers son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
cause, someday never comes.
Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didnt know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
And, someday youll understand.
Chorus
And then, one day in april, I wasnt even there,
For there were many things I didnt know.
A son was born to me; mama held his hand,
Sayin someday youll understand.

Think it was september, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didnt know.
And I still see him standing, tryn to be a man;

100 Years From Now
If I dont treat you like a lady
You wont hold my hand
And you dont like it when I call you baby
Dont you understand
Even though we dont see eye to eye
Thats no reason to say goodbye
You gotta learn to give and take
Theres so much love we can make
Chorus
Even though we might be having a few doubts
Lets take the time and try to work things out
The little things we fuss and fight about
Aint gonna matter 100 years from now
I admit Im a little lazy--isnt everyone
And you let things drive you crazy
Sometimes you act so young
Even though we dont realize
Wed be foolish not to compromise
cause what we have is all weve got
Believe it or not
Weve really got a lot

I wanna get close
Wanna spend my time with you
We gotta sit down and talk
Got to see things eye to eye
I tried to tell her but I couldnt begin
Its not a thing that takes a moment
Im coming over better let me come in
(chorus)
Youll understand me
A lot better when the pictures all clear
Im yours and anyway you want me
Move over cos its lonely over here
(chorus)
Youve got no choice
Youve got no say when it comes round
Im gonna jump down dont walk away
Weve got to see things eye to eye
There was something when I met you
There was something in the words we didnt say
It was something that we both knew
It was something that dont happen every day

Youve got no choice
Youve got no say when it comes round
Im gonna jump down dont walk away

What Happened To You?
Before you started tokin you used to have a brain
But now you dont get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
Man youre really losin it
And youve really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin it
What in the world happened to you
Its bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know thats something else
I say Im not that kind of person
Im not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
Chorus
So Ill see you tomorrow
Youll be gackin up again
Ill see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just dont understand

Cause It Isnt True
If I spoke in words you didnt understand
Wouldnt that make me a better man
Elocution class to lend a hand
Get me a self-improvement plan
(chorus)
I dont know, it seems to me
Things I do best come easily
I dont feel the need to say to you
Im better cause it isnt true
Exquisite verse to higher the tone
Performed in phrases not my own
To hide the truth to Ill tell a lie
With pictures from another's eye
(chorus)
I dont know, it seems to me
Things I do best........(etc)
If I sport the latest cut of cloth
Would you all assume Id got some style
And wear my hair just long enough
To turn the heads of fashion for a while
A sports car sexy, slimline, fast
Quick enough to hide my past
Rich enough to open doors
I never could unlock before

I dont know, it seems to me
Things I do best........(etc)

The Last Time
Now its the last time to remember what you said to me
And Im the last person in the world I thought Id be
And now its high time to be something bigger than we are
Its never too late to reverse a thing thats gone too far
(1st chorus)
And I think the whole worlds laughing at us
But I dont care, thats not the point
Theres so much more
Theres so much more than meets the eye
Oh, when youre around Im blind
Now its the last time to leave the shadows far behind
And its the last time to clear the cobwebs from our mind
And its the last time to bury all our memories
And its the last time before everything just fades away
(2nd chorus)
And I wish that you were here with me
And I wish that somehow things would change
Youd lose your fear of me
And I feel that things might be okay
Oh, wouldnt that be strange
Now its the last time to reconsider what weve done
And its the last time to start all over from day one

Slow Down
Chorus:
I said slow down--
Slow down and live, my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journeys end
Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things thats right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own
Albert abernathy never spent a foolish dime
Rising at the crack of dawn and working overtime
You know, he never told me how much happiness he found
Yesterday we laid him in the finest grave in town.
Chorus:
I said slow down--
Slow down and live, my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journeys end.
Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things thats right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own.
Little sally tremble is a music city queen
You can see her picture now on every magazine
Sallys come a long way from the life she left behind
Shes had six gold records and been married seven times!
Chorus:
I said slow down--slow down and live my friend
Take time--take time to understand
The things--the things you hope to win
Before--before your journeys end
Slow down--slow down and try to do
The things--the things thats right for you
You know--you know
The soul--the soul
You save could be your own.

Cant Get Enough Of Your Love
(barry white)
Ive heard people say that
Too much of anything
Is not good for you baby
But... I dont know about that
...as many times as weve loved
Shared love and made love
It doesnt... seem to me
Like its ever, ever enough
Its just not enough
Chorus:
My darling, I , cant get enough of your love babe
I dont know I dont know I dont know why
I cant get enough of your love babe
Oh some things I cant get used to
No matter how I try
Its like the more you give the more I want
And baby thats no lie, oh no babe
Tell me what can I say
What am I gonna do
How should I feel, when everything is you you you
What kind of love is this
That youve given me
Is it in your kiss or just because youre sweet
All I know is every time youre near
I feel a change
Somethings moving
I scream your name
What you got me doing
(repeat chorus)
If I could make you see
And make you understand
Your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well babe
How can I explain
All the things I feel
Youve given me so much
Youre so unreal, unreal, unreal
Still I keep loving you
More and more each time
What am I gonna do
Cause youve blown my mind
I get the same old feeling
Every time youre near
I feel a change
Somethings moving
I scream your name
What you got me doing

Little Things
Little things mean a lot
Little things mean a lot
When I wanted someone to give me the world
You accepted me and smiled
And let me know that you were my girl
When I wanted fancy things
Gold watches, diamond rings
You gave me your hand
cause only you could understand
Chorus:
Little things mean a lot
Appreciate what you got
If you give all what you have
Its forever well last
Dont sit around and wait for all
The great things in your life (sweetie)
Little things mean
Little things mean
Little things mean a lot
Giving me the best doesnt mean
Giving me happiness
Ill be satisfied with anything that comes close
I dont wanna settle for less but if i
Do I must confess I wont
Take it if its not from your heart
Sometimes we get wrapped up
In all the fancy things but
Dont expect life to be perfect
It dont come with static cling

One Honest Man
I cant find a four-leaf cover anymore
I could find it if I wanted to
I believe if you put your mind to something
Well there aint anything in this world
You could not do
But I cant find one honest man
Why cant I find me one honest man
Dont understand
The only thing I ever wanted
Was a little bouquet of truth from him
But it gave me all the things
You cant build love on
And I am on the wrong side
Of a broken heart again
Chorus:
Why cant I find one honest man
Why cant I find me one honest man
Dont understand
If a little bitty candle
Can light of the darkness
Why cant it shine its way through
Ive been waiting a very, very, very long time
Aint no man ever gonna be true
Dont understand
Aint there a man for me

Until The End Of Time
Chorus
Until the end of time
I'm longing for you
And if you feel the same
Then show me your love
I'll give you everything that money can't buy
And I promise I'll be right by your side
'Til the end of time
I imagined being wrapped up in your arms
And feeling your heart beat
And i find myself longing to holf you close
'Cause I've been through a lot these years
And I have lost the count of my tears
Chorus
If only you could tell me what's on your mind
And show how you feel
And I wonder where you are heading this time
And where you belong
'Cause I know that if you would be here
I'll do anything 'cause my love is real
Even moments are sad
I look into your eyes and
I know this will last

Our Last Goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Open your eyes
Here in the dead of the night
Lying here with you by my side, dont know if this is wrong or its
Right
Wishing this was just another day, baby, I can feel its too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
Chorus:
Baby, dont cry, I can see weve lost the feeling
Wont you open your eyes and try to find your smile
Weve known each other too long to let it all slip away
But when alls said and done, weve said our last goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Baby, weve been living a lie
And even though it hurts deep inside
I know there can be no, no, no compromise cause too many chances have
Passed
And if you want a love that can last, never try to push things too
Fast
And even though Ive no regrets, I still recall the night we met
We said wed never end, so, baby, listen
Repeat chorus
Rap:
All the memories we had, I wouldnt change a thing
And with the lights down low, Im dreaming of what could have been
Even though weve tried so many times before
Ill take one look around before I close the door
With this one last kiss, I know deep down inside
The beginning of the end, the ending of our time
Maybe we could try, but, no, its just too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen

Shine A Little Love
Although the things youve done I wouldnt criticize.
I guess you had your way.
You see I gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say.
But it dont matter baby cos todays another day.
Chorus
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see.
Remember,tonight were gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight were gonna say.
Well never stop we got a good thing goin on.
I know youve heard it all before.
But I really need you darlin every day I need you more.
Repeat chorus
Can you understand.(yes I understand) can you feel its right.
(I know it is) will you be the same.(Ill do it all again).
Its been a year now and its getting so much better.
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said youll soon forget her.
Thay couldnt see and they just didnt understand.
And lookin in the mirror there were fools at either hand.
Can you understand.(yes I understand) can you feel its right.
(I know it is) will you be the same.(Ill do it all again).
How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.
I really cant believe.
Were walkin out into the world tonight.
Well do it all again until the break of light.
And the feelin in your heart will soon be shinin in your eyes

Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)
Lately I can tell that something aint right
I dont see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around, said
Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
Its not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if weve got anything left at all, and I say
Chorus:
Hold on now, baby.
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I cant find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice
Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but theyve long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you

Well I cant stand to see no more damage done
But youll never understand until you suffer some, and I said....

When Theres No Tomorrow
Didnt want to face a long hot summer
Didnt want to spend another lonely night
Didnt want to stay until I met you
You could tell that we were made for each other
Something in the air and the time was right
Came into my life, oh, I cant forget you
I dont want to leave tomorrow
Yes I said it all inside of a letter
That I put in your hand when we walked in the sand
Dont you understand
I dont want to go where theres no tomorrow
You go your way, Ill go mine
Each one missing what they left behind
I dont wanna go where theres no tomorrow
Help me try to make a dream come true
I dont wanna leave if I cant be with you
Wouldnt ever change a thing for a minute
Seems the waters always deeper when youre in it
Thats the way it goes
Not the way I planned it
I dont want to leave without you
I dont want to go if you wont follow
Told you once, tell you once again
I dont want this summer to ever end
Gonna be there when I can

Stay The Night
I dont want you to misunderstand me
I just wanna say whats on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I havent got the time
I want you to know one things for certain
I surely love your company
And I wont take no if thats your answer
At least thats my philosophy

Stay the night
Theres room enough here for two
Stay the night
Id like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why dont we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way
Have some friendly conversation
And if you still dont have a clue
Unless theres something else youve got in mind
Weve got better things to do

Just to have you near me
Here by my side
Just to have you near me
And when I get next to your body
Just to have you near me

Estoy Aqui - I Am Here
I'm Here
I know you aren't coming back
everything we got time left it behind
I know you aren't bringing back what we spent together
it wouldn't never repeat again
A thousand years won?t be enough
to erase you and forget
And now I'm here trying to convert
cities from countries
mixing sky with sea
i know I let you run away
I know I lost you
nothing is gonna be the same
A thousand years can be reach so I can forgive
chorus:
I'm here, loving you
drawning myself
between pictures and notebooks
between things and memories
that i can't understand
I'm turning crazy
changing feet for my face
this night for day
and there's nothing i can do
The letters i wrote i never sent them away
you wouldn't want to know about me
I can't understand
how fool i was
is a matter of faith and time
A thousand years with others a thousand years more
Are enough to love

you know I'm still waiting for you

Time To Make You Mine
Only in my dreams
Ive seen the way its gonna be
Ive waited for this moment
The moment when we share ourselves
This moment cant be thought about
It has to be felt
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before
Chorus:
Ive dreamed your fingers touch me a thousand times
Dreamed the warm skin of your body burning next to mine
Kissed your sugar lips, caressed your hips
Now were together baby now its time
Time to make you mine
Time to make you mine
The sweet anticipation of hands I know will touch me soon
Two fascinating shadows move in time
(chorus)
Spoken:
I know what its gonna be
Me and you, you and me
I thought that it would never be
I only knew it in my dreams
Even though youre here with me
I never thought Id feel such ecstasy
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before

Maybe you will, maybe then you wont

Is it no or yes, I shouldnt have to guess if..
