Unpredictable You
Written by c. jackson & marvin yancy
I never know what youre thinking
I never could read your mind
I never know when Ill see you again
You might stop by but any time
You tell me were going out on the town
And you wont be ready when you call
Sometimes you come later than you said you would
Bless your heart, sometimes you dont come at all
(unpredictable you) ha, ya (never know what you do) oh, you
(unpredictable you) but I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
You change like the weather, ha
And youre always on the go, woh, woh, woh
Youre like a wheel of fortune, but when youre gonna stop nobody knows
But I cant help but love you, you, youre surely part of me
And if its gonna be like this forever, well, then Ill say just let it be, let it be
(unpredictable you) jive turkey (never know what youll do) yeah, yeah
(unpredictable you) but I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
I do, wooh, wooh, wooh, oh, love
Hoo, ah---, yeah---
(unpredictable) you change like the weather
(unreliable) see you whenever
(undependable) you never keep a promise
(unforgettable) but I love you, I love you
(unpredictable) you change like the weather
(unreliable) ha, see you whenever
(undependable) you never keep a promise
(unforgettable) but I love you, I love you, hoo
(unpreditable) baby, can you hear me?
(unreliable) oh, oh, oh
(undependable) undependable you

(unforgettable) baby, can you hear me?

Unforgettable Conscious Actions
Unforgettable conscious actions,
Forgiven with time...
But not from a mind erased.
As those memories come with intent to retrace,
In intervals of intermissions,
As if to stay replayed...
Between wanted acts of forgetting.
It is difficult to pretend,
Not to be affected emotionally by them.
Since unforgettable conscious acts,
Remain in one's mind to be noticed.
And felt to refreshen a sting that hurts.
With a leaving of an effectiveness,
Remembered.
Like the first time one's faith is lost,
In someone loved and seen cheating.
Again! To leave one feeling defeated,
From a repeated beating that does not end.
Unforgettable.
And on one's conscious mind,
Are these actions.

Pretend youre happy when youre blue
It isnt very hard to do
And youll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothings bad as it may seem
The little things you havent got
Could be a lot if you pretend
Youll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, shell be there
Youll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
Youll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why dont you pretend?
And if you sing this melody
Youll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why dont you pretend?

Unforgetable
So short,
Yet unforgettable, unimaginable...
The times we spent together,
Whispering, giggling, talking...
Thanks for the listening ear,
Thanks for the surprises!
Thanks
for the help you've given even when not asked
Thanks for what you had been,
You are appreciated for what you could have been,
Thanks...
My friend,
How we both wish this times could be forever, encompassing...
But we both know we have no control on that,
I will forever cherish the memory of you,
You will always remain part of me..
My friend,
Wherever you are,
Whatever you are doing,
We will meet again,
We wil...
A friend above others you will forever be to me
No gain, No pain
The saying is
Yet, regardless of our differences,
The arguments, the misunderstandings,
the names calling, refusal to pick each other's call,
They were one of those things that made us unique,
Thanks to you wherever you go...
Thanks you are unforgettable...
Go In Peace...
In Love it is finished!

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing youll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing youll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

And foolish though it may seem
To me thats everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

Aged tree
Under the aged tree
Where we use to sing
Who is in the garden
The tree of my forefather
The unforgettable aged tree
Under the aged tree
Where we listen
To the story of our land
The dove and the jackal
An unforgettable story
Under the aged tree
Where my forefathers
Wept for freedom till death
May there soul rest in peace
And may the story of the aged tree lives in me

So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

They try to tell us were too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that loves a word
A word weve only heard
But cant begin to know the meaning of
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet were not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together were going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

Dearest uncle
I knew of one khusi (joy) some years back
When I was always waiting for some words to crack
She may come like fragrance
Leave behind some unforgettable charm and mesmerism
She took nothing with her
Only some unforgettable smile to wonder
It was only treasure left behind
I searched the whole world to find
She disappeared like powerful wind
Came with destruction and nothing was left behind
Except her love, affection and sweet feelings
That was only with me as sacred belonging
I heard a word dearest uncle
That made me impulsive to feel
She was alive and much to comforts
Her ship had anchored to port
What a way to feel happiness?
For a person not known or seen with face
Let there be no communication in reality
Her presence is felt very clear with nobility
Wherever you are and under whatever name
I pray almighty that finally you remembered and came
It is great Allah and his blessings that I feel real happiness
I had left no stone unturned to find her or trace
