An African Mother Advice
Tonight witches shall gather
Soon the sun will go to bed
Ndubisi my son come home
Come lay in your mother's arm
Let my love protect you
Under my bosom you will dwell
Till dawn in my warmth
Come my son
The moon is full tonight
Let me tell you stories
The morals you must hold
Close to your heart all your life
Let them guide your thoughts
Leading you through life's path
My son
You're a prince
Like an ant be wise
Let your judgment be sound
Let your heart be filled with mercy
Give alms to the poor
Give food to the hungry
Son
Fear the woman
Her love is sweet
Her heart is dark
Keep your strength
For the love you shall find
And you shall be fruitful
My dear son
I have watched you grow
Your temper is quick
I fear it would destroy you
Hold it in check
Say but a few words
Let them be your bonds
My son
Your are my strength
Do not forget me when am old
Remember the breast that fed you
Let my old bones cling unto you
Let my dry skin feel your warmth
My son soon
I will be gone from here
Uphold your father's name
Let not his legacies die
Do me proud in your deeds
From the spirit land I will smile
For even in death I will watch you

Goodbye Mother Dear
Mother, mother, mother dear,
Can you hold me close, can you hold me near?
Mother, mother, oh mother dear,
Will you listen, listen to my words of fear?
Mother, I am inside your womb.
Mother, you hold the key.
Mother, is it too late, too soon?
Mother, what do you see?
I hear your heart beat, beat, beat,
It comforts me when I am asleep.
I feel your warmth, I feel your heat,
But mother dear, I feel you weep.
Mother, I am so full of fear.
Mother, I see it in your tear.
Mother, I know you cry and why.
Mother, I know we must say goodbye.
(if only you could let me grow
my love to you then i could show
but that i know cannot be so
the time has come for me to go)
Mother, mother, mother dear,
Do not feel guilt, do not feel fear.
Mother, mother, oh mother dear,
For a while, you held me near.

Will You Hold Me Close?
Will you hold me close to you tonight
and take my fear away?
For in my mind I know that this
closeness just won't stay.
But if you hold me close tonight
then I can always remember
how you made me feel so good
in the dark of night.
And even though I know my world
will never be the same,
I made the choice to love you
so I will share the blame.
And so this night, this final night
when you hold me close to you
will give me memories that will have to last
for my whole life through.
In the morning when you leave
I'll close my eyes in bed.
I'll think of how you held me
and all the words we've said.
Those words I must remember
so they'll stay inside of me.
For nothing else will soothe my heart
as far as I can see.

Mercy Me
Father where are you in my life?
I look for you..., in my wife,
I dream you hold me up,
Let me drink..., from your cup,
You know I left you, to taste life,
Father..., all I found is strife,
Mercy... is my cry,
Love please... don't you die,
Father... make it quick,
Let Mercy be your trick,
I found in the heart of man,
A hole just the size of a can,
It is easy to forget,
With love there's no regret,
Please see me for who I am,
Father.., I am just a man,
Through pain and loss of life,
Comes a knowing of what is right,
I see now that I left your side,
With no thought of where to hide,
Deep within my heart it lies,
A sea of love to you it cries,
Let my fear and greed...,
Please not betray your seed,
Don't bleed a tear from your eye,
But lift me up so not to die,
Father..., I need your vision,
Endless love, no more derision,
Mercy... is my cry,
Love please... don't you die,
Father... make it quick,
Let Mercy be your trick,
My dream is but to alight,
Your heavenly steps, tonight,
To feel your warm glow,
And your love..., to know,
Then all men will leave fear,
For you have shed your tear.

Unique Prince
You are the unique Prince of my heart and,
Like the first light of the dawn;
But you will glow brighter and brighter until it is full,
Abd you are all that i want tonight.
Let me exalt you and protect you with my sweet love,
And let me love you and watch over your handsome body;
For i will give you a sound doctrine on thislove because,
You are the unique Prince of my lovely heart.

Might Be Your Love
Written by dewey bunnell, 1980
Found on alibi.
Sometimes when youre there all alone
Someone will call you at home
You dont want to but pick up the phone
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone who you thought would belong
Came passing, moved right along
You dont know why but something went wrong
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Some girl who you watched at her desk
Came dancing on with her dress
And she looked up and wouldnt you guess
She might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
(someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your heart (someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark ...

Give Me All Your Love
(coverdale/sykes)
When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was trouble
But, my heart got in the way
I couldnt stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away
I dont even know your name
An I cant leave you alone,
Im running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone
I know the game youre playing
But, baby I just cant let go
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Ill work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
Ill rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
Im gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I am blinded by your smile
And Im crazy about your walk
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk
Im a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Anything you want from me...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
Ill do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...

Blue Moon Tonight?
whether the moon tonight is blue
really depends on you
loneliness is just a state of mind
you must learn how to take your wine
walk inside this bar and sit there for a while
take your scotch on the rocks
and look for someone looking for someone like you
smile the smile he gives you and wait for him to say hello
give him the look he is looking for
and compliment him with words he too likes to hear
like you he likes to have someone tonight
someone just to kiss and hold
like you he wants to have a little warmth
like you he wants to have a moment
just tonight for two lonely bodies to keep living
and then the moon tonight will never be blue
a little compromise tonight do not look for love
just someone to hold and then release like a white dove

Voices That Care
Lonely fear lights up the sky
Cant help but wonder why
Youre so far away
There, you have to take a stand
In someone elses land
Life can be so strange
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose,
That we could find a way
But I wont turn my back again,
Your honor Ill defend
So hurry home,
Till then
Stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
Im not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
Thats all been done before
I just cant let you feel alone
When theres so much love at home
Were sending out to you
And the courage that youve known
The bravery that youve shown
Clearly lights the way
We pray to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
(rap):
Right or wrong, were all praying youll remain strong
Thats why were all here and singing along
Stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in our heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice,
You are the light
Stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
Stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Be In My Heart
What did I ever do for you, that you should die for me
And what did I ever give to you, that you should live in me
Now and forever and always true, your love has found a way
As I was, I am and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head, be in my soul tonight
Live in my words, let it be said, live in my life tonight
Pray that I never take in vain, the name I hold most dear
His love in very heart of me, casts out all doubt and fear
Now and forever and always true, your love has found a way
As I was, I am and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head, be in my soul tonight
Live in my words, let it be said, live in my life tonight
Tonight we shall sweetly sleep
Tonight by still waters deep
Tonight for my soul to keep, still waters lead me to your
Still waters, I need to drink of your still waters
Now that I know the kind of love that comes to fill me up
Fill me anew with love from you and overflow my cup
Now and forever and always true, your love has found a way
As I was, I am and always will be, will be
Be in my heart, be in my head, be in my soul tonight
Live in my words, let it be said, live in my life tonight
Still waters running deep
Still waters my soul to keep
Still waters its your love flowing over me

If I Could Hold On To Love
Just once in my life
If I could find someone, if once
The feeling was right
I'd never let her go.
I'd always be there
If I could have my chance to be
The only one
Iy just isn't fair.
Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.
I'm searching my dreams
I'm trying to recognize that face,
Oh, who can it be?
She's calling out to me and now.
I'm running to her
But everytime I get this close
She vanishes
Inyo the night.
Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.
Is it ever come to pass
That I find a love that lasts
Or is that too much to ask?
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love
If I could only hold on to love.

I wanna show you my deepest feelings
Aint that how loves supposed to be
Give me love hold on to me

My Confession
I try to find the right word to describe how I feel
I search a perfect place to say my deepest desire
I need a moment when you finally only look at me
Don't you know I change clothes every minute before the meeting time?
Don't you know I look at my watch every second when I'm waiting you?
I keep thinking about your answer
I'm afraid I'll ruin this rare chance
Or maybe even I'm gonna lose you
Will you say yes?
And makes me the happiest man alive
Will you say no?
And makes me more devastated
Will you say maybe?
And leave me hanging on the wall
But in the end all are not matter
Because my heart already decide
You are my love
I want to be the name you call
I want to be the love you see
You are my love
I want to give you strength and warmth
I want to keep you safe and sound
You are my love
I will protect you but also give you freedom
I will cherish you but also give you a choice
If you allowed me to come into your heart
If you want to give the affection for me
If not I'll still watching you from distant
Because I'll find the other way to care for you
Because I can't stop suddenly my love for you
Because I'm helplessly in love with you
This is my confession

Mother give me the strength to stand strong
Give me the courage to do whats right
Give me the life to live
And the wisdom to give good advice
Mother give me a life to touch
Give me the emotions to feel
Give me the knowledge to know when its false
And to know when its real
Mother give me the hand to hold
Give me the heart with which to love
Give me the eyes to look upon you
In that glittering sky above
Mother give me someone special
Give me love that knows no end

I am as young as i'm feeling
I'm always 21, i am always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
I'm always 21 at heart, love listen to me
Ooooh yeah yeah yeah
I need somebody to stay beside me
Cause i've got a hungry heart
Baby with or without love
I'm gonna get a man who can fulfill my dreams
On the top of the world i don't wanna be alone
No no no not me
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
On the road tonight
Life is good for you, always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
On my own tonight
Life is good for you, always 21
Love is a lyer, but i'm a tryer,
Give it another go
You have another, yes i have seen her,
I wonder who she is
Does she kiss you the way
That i used to kiss you
I bet she wonders
Who i am
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
On the road tonight
Life is good for you, always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie

Life is good for you, always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie

Love will come to you
You are always 21
I get older everyday
But i will fight it till the end
There's a man for me to have and to hold
Easy come and easy go
Once bitten but not for long
And as young as i'm feeling
Yes i am
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
On my own tonight
Love will come to you
You are always 21
C'est la vie, c'est la vie, c'est la vie
On my own tonight

Could It Be Right
Maurice white, david foster & allee willis
If I came to you and I said
You are my desire, would it last forever
If I tell you endlessly
How much you meand to me
Will you stay forever
You and I together
Love changes, lives for better
Dreams are made to let in
Lets take a ride to heaven
Hold me, shine your love tonight
Tender in the light, while were dancing
Hold me, deep inside your heart
I wonder in the dark
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Oh you make me feel so strong
Nothing can go wrong
Come as were together
I will take away pain
Your shelter from the rain
We can hide together
But to the door you lead me
I know, so how you need me
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Time will take us away
Give us reason to fight for love today
Ill keep on pushing
To be close to you
I wanna hear you say
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Could it be right
Hold me, shine your love tonight
Tender in the light, while were dancing
Hold me, deep inside your heart
I wonder in the dark
Could it be right
Hold me, shine your love tonight
Tender in the light, while were dancing
Hold me, deep inside your heart
I wonder in the dark
Could it be right
Hold me, deep inside your heart

Ain't That A Lot Of Love (feat. Simply Red)
Words and music by Willa Dean Parker and Homer Banks
I know the desert cant hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love

Heart Dont Break Tonight
Lying in the dark tonight
Lying here alone
Trying to figure out tonight
Where it is Ive gone
Lately I dont understand
Some feelings that I have
Even on the brightest days
I dont know why Im sad
Sometimes when the night is still
I start to fall apart
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time
Please dont let me down
cause I cant stand the sound
Heart dont break tonight
Listening to the cars go by
On the boulevard
Wondering as Im lying here
Why the nights so hard
I close my eyes and see you
The way you used to be
But right now all that I can do
Is just hold on to me
Sometimes when the night is still
I start to fall apart
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time
Please dont let me down
cause I cant stand the sound
Heart dont break tonight
I watch the lights dance on the wall
As another car goes by
I realize how quickly things can change
Sometimes when the night is still
I start to fall apart
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time
Please dont let me down
cause I cant stand the sound
Heart dont break tonight
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time
Heart dont break tonight
Give me a little more time

The Light Of The Moon
Written by steve byrd, ricki & kim wilde
(light of the moon...)
You can't touch it
It won't let you near
You can't hold it
Cos it will disappear
You can't keep it
It don't belong to you
And when you need it
There's nothing you can do
Love has the final word
You're a fool if you can't see
But i know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of the breeze
Not the sound of the wind
As it blows through the trees
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of your smile
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
So many people forget it
Set love free
Love is a river
Love is a raging sea
Don't try to tame it
Or you will watch it die
Don't try to chain it
You've got to let it fly
Love has the final word
You're a fool if you can't see
But i know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of the breeze
Not the sound of the wind
As it blows through the trees
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of your smile
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Ooh you say i live in a dream
That i live in a make-beleive
But i know that the light of the moon
Belongs to me
Not the warmth of the sun
Caress of your hand
Not the love that you give me
Again and again
But the light of the moon
