What You Won't Do For Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do
A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics - Bob Dylan
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was...
[Fade]
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was...

Una Furtiva Lagrima Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Donizetti's "L'Elisir D'Amore")
[Nemorino is in love with a wealthy girl, but she says she isn't interested in poor boys like him. Desperate, he buys a "love potion" that only turns out to be cheap red wine. And yet, Nemorino believes the "elixir" will work. When he sees her cry, he knows she has fallen for him at last.]
Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu ceracando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.
Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.
[Translation:]
One Tear That Falls So Furtively
One tear that falls so furtively
from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths
who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.
One moment just to hear her heart,
beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers,
her sighings as if they were mine!
Heavens, please take me now:
All that I wanted is mine now!
Una furtiva lagrima

Che Gelida Manina Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "La Boheme")
[It is christmas eve on Paris' left bank. Rodolpho is at home writing when a stranger knocks at the door. It is Mimi, a neighbor, who needs to borrow a match to relight her candle. Mimi is barely out the door, when she realizes she has lost her key. As they search for it, Rodolpho's hand falls upon hers.]
Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo,
Vuole?
Chi son? Chi son? son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore,
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri:gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora
ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche,poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete
parlate voi. Deh parlate.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
[Translation:]
How Cold Your Little Hand Is
How cold your little hand is!
Will you let me warm it for you?
Why bother looking?
It's dark, and we won't find it.
It's our good luck though,
this night's filled with moonlight,
up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Please wait, my dear young lady,
and I will quickly tell you who stands before you, and
what I do, how I make my living.
May I?
Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me busy? Writing!
And what do I live on? Nothing!
In poverty I'm cheerful,
I am a prince who squanders
arias and couplets of longing.
And as for hopes and dreams of love
and castles-in-the-air, Miss-
I am a millionaire!
My fortress could be broken in,
robbed clean of the fine jewels I store-
if the thieves were eyes like yours.
And now that I have seen you,
all of my lovely dreaming,
all of the sweetest dreams I've dreamt,
quickly have slipped away.
This theft does not upset me,
because such treasures mean nothing
now that I'm rich with sweet hope!
And now that you have met me,
I ask you please,
Tell me, lady, who you are, I ask you please!
Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.

Pourquoi Me Reveiller Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Massenet's "Werther")
[Werther is madly in love with charlotte, his friends wife. To forget her, he has run away, but when he returns, he finds he is more in love than ever. Werther recites a favorite poem for charlotte, and at last realizes the fatal truth: Charlotte can never return his love.]
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon, viendra le voyageur,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeax vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
[Translation:]
Why Do You Wake Me Now?
"Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring?
On my brow I sense your most gentle caresses,
yet how soon creeps on the time
filled with tempests and with distresses!
Tomorrow through the vale,the traveller will pass,
recalling all the glory of the past.
And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth,
and nothing will he find but deep and endless sorrow."
Alas! Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring!
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon, viendra le voyageur,

Et ses yeax vainement chercheront ma splendeur:

Nessun Dorma Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "Turandot")
[Only the man who answers her riddles can marry the icy princess Turandot; those who fail die. Calaf, a prince from another land, has fallen in love with the beautiful Turandot and answered the riddles. Though by law she must marry him, Turandot pleads to be spared: only if she answers his riddle - his name.]
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
Al alba vincero!
[Translation:]
No One's Sleeping!
No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess,
perhaps in your cold chambers,
watch all the bright stars
that tremble both with loving and with desire.
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no ! When our two mouths touch, she'll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end!
May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!

M'Appari Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Flotow's "Martha")
[Lady Harriet and her maid Nancy, disguised as peasants called Martha and Julia, have unwittingly bound themselves for a year's service to Lionel and Plunket, two local farmers. The women soon escape, and though time passes, Lionel cannot get Martha out of his mind.]
M'appari tutt' amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si che il mio cor,
ansioso a lei volo;
mi feri, m'invaghi
quell' angelica belta,
sculta in cor dall'amor
cancellarsi non potra:
il pensier di poter
palpitar con lei d'amor,
puo sopir il martir
che m'affana e stranzia il cor.
M'appari tutt'amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si cheil mio cor
ansioso a lei volo;
Marta, Marta tu sparisti
e il mio corcol tuo n'ando!
Tu la pace mi rapisti,
di dolor io moriro.
[Translation:]
She Appeared To Me
She appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
in a snap, to her did fly.
I was hurt, I was charmed
by that beauty from above.
Love is etched in my heart,
and cannot now be erased.
The mere thought that our hearts
with sweet love might beat as one
is enough to forget all the sorrow
that fills my heart.
She appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
In a snap to her did fly.
Marta, Marta, you have left me,
and my heart with yours has vanished.
Peace and quiet, gone now forever, I will surely die of pain.
O Soave Fanciulla Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "La Boheme")
[Mimi and Rodolfo are getting acquainted fast. Outside, Rodolfo's friends call him to join them. He would rather stay with Mimi, but she shyly suggests they all go out together. "Tell me you love me," he pleads. She hold back, at first, but as this duet ends, they sing together for the first time and their first word is "Love."]
[Rodolfo:]
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
in te ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!
[Mimi:]
(Ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)

[Rodolfo:]
Deep in my soul trembles
the deepest of passions, etc.

You rule alone, oh love!)

[R:] So soon must I leave you?

How sweet instead to stay behind here.
It's freezing outside.

Vesti La Giubba Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci")
[Canio, and his wife, and their troupe perform adulterous comedies in their travelling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. Canio has just been warned that Nedda is in the arms of another man. When Canio arrives, the man is gone. "Tell me his name!" He threatens. Just at that moment, they announce, "It's show time!"]
Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio
non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio!
Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati!
Bah, se tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!
Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira!
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor...
Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!
[Translation:]
On With The Show
Go on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder.
Bah, you think you're a man?
You're just a clown!
On with the show, man, and put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine,
laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
and with your clown's face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles,
Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.

E Lucevan Le Stelle Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Pucinni's "Tosca")
[The painter Cavaradossi has been sentenced to death for helping to hide an escaped political prisoner. As he awaits his fate, he sings of the sweet memories of his beloved Tosca and his dashed dreams.]
E lucevan le stelle,
e olezzava le terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente
le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora e fuggita
e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
[Translation:]
How The Stars Seemed To Shimmer
How the stars seem to shimmer,
the sweet scents of the garden,
how the creaking gate whispered,
and a footstep skimmed over the sand,
how she then entered, so fragrant,
and then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses,
While I stood trembling,
searching her features concealed by her mantle.
My dreams of pure love, forgotten forever!
All of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing,
And never before have I loved like this!

Recondita Armonia Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "Tosca")
[Cavaradossi is working on a portrait of the Madonna for the church of St. Andrea. Thought the painting closely resembles a beautiful parishioner there, Cavaradossi explains that it is a combination of that woman. Whom he does not know, and his own dark-haired, dark-eyed lover Floria Tosca.]
Recondita armonia
di belleze diverse!...E bruna Floria,
l'ardente amante mia.
E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero
le diverse belleze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu,
Tosca, sei tu!
[Translation:]
What Strange And Lovely Harmony
What strange and lovely harmony
of such different beauties! How dark is Floria,
this ardent love of mine.
And you, mysterious beauty, long blonde and flowing tresses,
how your eyes are sky blue, Tosca's eyes are black-night.
Art, too, with it's many mysteries,
blends all together such different beauties.
But though I paint another,
my only thought is you,
oh, my only thought is you,
Tosca, is you, is you!
Recondita armonia
di belleze diverse!...E bruna Floria,
l'ardente amante mia.
E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero
le diverse belleze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu,
Tosca, sei tu!

E La Solita Storia Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Cilea's "L'Arlesiana")
[Federico loves a girl of ill repute, so his family arranges a marriage with a childhood sweetheart. The heart-broken lad compares his sad adventure to the well known tale of a shepherd boy. He knows he will never foreget his one true love.]
E la solita storia del pastore...
Il povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla
e s'addormi.
C'e nel sonno l'oblio.
Come l'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar!
La pace sol cercando io vo'.
Vorrei poter tutto scordar!
Ma ogni sforzo e vano.
Davanti ho sempre
di lei il dolce sembiante.
La pace tolta E solo a me.
Perche degg'io tanto penar?
Lei! sempre lei mi parla ancor!
Fatale vision, mi lascia!
Mi fai tanto male,
Ahime!
[Translation:]
It's That Familiar Tale
It's that familiar tale you've heard of the shepherd...
That penniless young man, attempting to retell it,
fell sound asleep.
In such slumber there's oblivion.
How I've envied him!
Like him, I would sleep all of my days-
at least if I slept, I might forget!
I seek only peace, it's all I need!
Forget it all, never recall!
Yet all is futile effort,
before me will always be
that sweet face of hers, alas!
My peace and my quiet, forever gone!
Why must I suffer so, oh why?
She, always she, speaks again to me!
Vision so fatal, please vanish!
How you have harmed me!
Alas!
Celeste Aida Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Verdi's "Aida")
[The ethiopians have been defeated in battle. Aida, their princess, has been enslaved by the victorious egyptians, though her identity is not known to them. The egyptian general Radames falls in love with the beautiful Aida and dreams of setting her upon a throne.]
Celeste aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!
[Translation:]
Heavenly Aida
Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
Garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies,
To the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
And build you a throne close to the sun!

Safe Place From The Storm Lyrics - Bob Dylan
In this crazy world
You can prove that you can make it
If you're strong enough to take it
Still there will be times
When you find this life you're livin'
Is just takin' all your givin'
When you need someone to run to
The shelter of my love is always near
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus:]
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place fro the storm
People in this world
Can be blind and so demanding
Show so little understanding
And in these desperate times
Seems like everything's deceivin'
There ain't much we can believe in
Let me be the one you come to
Show you one thing, trust is always here
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus]
(Run to me) When those cold and troubled winds have found you
(Come to me) And I'll wrap my world of love around you
I'll be your flame burnin' bright
Be the sunlight in your day
That'll take you through the night baby
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place from the storm
I'll be your safe place from the storm
You can prove that you can make it
If you're strong enough to take it
Still there will be times
When you find this life you're livin'
Is just takin' all your givin'
When you need someone to run to
The shelter of my love is always near
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus:]
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place fro the storm
People in this world
Can be blind and so demanding
Show so little understanding
And in these desperate times
Seems like everything's deceivin'
There ain't much we can believe in
Let me be the one you come to
Show you one thing, trust is always here
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus]
(Run to me) When those cold and troubled winds have found you
(Come to me) And I'll wrap my world of love around you
I'll be your flame burnin' bright
Be the sunlight in your day
That'll take you through the night baby
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place from the storm
I'll be your safe place from the storm
The Best Of Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I've got this somethin' to tell you
There ain't no doubt in my mind
All I'm askin' is to keep you near forever
Just till the end of time
Baby I know where love grows
My heart is overflowin'
You're so fine and so true
I wanna spend my time, spendin' time with you, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me the best of love
Passion and sweet inspiration
So rare and so hard to find
You are my journey and my destination
Queen of this heart of mine
Baby I know where love grows
In my life it's overflowin'
You're so fine and it's so true
I know I've got it all, all because of you, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know ya reach into my deepest emotion
And you keep givin' me, the best of love
With every moment that passes by
This love goes on
It keeps growin' stronger
And the more we're together
The best keeps gettin' better, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know you're down inside my deepest emotion
So just keep givin' me, the best of love
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
Ain't nothin' finer than that sweetest emotion
Just keep givin' me, just keep on givin' me
The best of love, best of love, best of love
Let's Make A Long Story Longer Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending
Before the real story even begins
It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending
Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in
But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot
That's how ya find out just how much you've really got
[Chorus:]
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter
Believe what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
The seed of love is so deeply planted
Inside the heart is where it lives and grows
We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted
Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow
Every storm is just a lesson to learn
Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby
[Chorus]
Ya gotta stand the test of time
If ya wanna keep the treasure you find
Some can only dream about forever
But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together
[Chorus]
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Baby, live what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
Let's make a long story longer

Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Baby, live what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
Let's make a long story longer
A Heart Can Only Be So Strong Lyrics - Bob Dylan
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you
[Chorus:]
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you
[Chorus]
Wo, so strong, oh
I can't let go oh no
Wo, so strong, wo, so strong
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free
Of your hold on me
I can't let go
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
[Chorus]
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you
[Chorus:]
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you
[Chorus]
Wo, so strong, oh
I can't let go oh no
Wo, so strong, wo, so strong
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free
Of your hold on me
I can't let go
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
[Chorus]
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
Fallin' Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Man arriving in the middle of the night
Leaving with the morning sun
Never try to hold me too tight
I always got to be on the run
I've had so many lovers
And I've showed them my heart
And I've showed them to the door
But this is nothing like the others
I ain't had nothing like this before
[Chorus:]
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for you
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' for you
I told myself many times before
I thought it was against the rules
Now here you come and turn my head around
You got me feeling like a fool
I don't know what's come over me
When I'm with you, I just can't say no
This time you got me holding on
And baby I don't wanna let go
[Chorus]
I don't understand, it's just not like me
To want someone and need someone
I want to go free
It's all gone ahead
I know what I said
But that was before you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for you

Forever's Just A Matter Of Time Lyrics - Bob Dylan
How in the h*ll did this begin
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over again
It took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friends
How many lifetimes must we live through
Till we're lookin' through the eyes of the truth
[Chorus:]
We are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time
So much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remains
We know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kind
[Chorus]
Time after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learn
[Chorus]
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over again
It took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friends
How many lifetimes must we live through
Till we're lookin' through the eyes of the truth
[Chorus:]
We are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time
So much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remains
We know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kind
[Chorus]
Time after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learn
[Chorus]
Whenever I Remember Loving You Lyrics - Bob Dylan
When the rain is fallin' and I'm overcome
With the doubts and demons of a love undone
No voice need tell me that you were the one
[Chorus:]
Oh I'll remember all my life
A love that set me free
Whatever comes of you and I
I will still believe
That once upon a time a dream came true
Whenever I remember loving you
Not a single moment, not a single kiss
Would I have traded, would I have missed
No other could ever move me like this
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't feel the pain as deep as pain can be
But I will not be denied the light
Your love has brought to me
What you've given me will last forever
I refuse to lose the treasure
Of you inside my heart eternally
[Chorus]
I'll always feel the love we once knew
As long as I remember loving you
Oh I'll remember loving you
Oh I'll remember all my life
With the doubts and demons of a love undone
No voice need tell me that you were the one
[Chorus:]
Oh I'll remember all my life
A love that set me free
Whatever comes of you and I
I will still believe
That once upon a time a dream came true
Whenever I remember loving you
Not a single moment, not a single kiss
Would I have traded, would I have missed
No other could ever move me like this
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't feel the pain as deep as pain can be
But I will not be denied the light
Your love has brought to me
What you've given me will last forever
I refuse to lose the treasure
Of you inside my heart eternally
[Chorus]
I'll always feel the love we once knew
As long as I remember loving you
Oh I'll remember loving you
Oh I'll remember all my life
Show Her The Way Lyrics - Bob Dylan
You can't deny it
When that once in your life
Comes that one of a kind
Once she's inside it
She can shake up your heart
She can make up your mind
Everything in your life will change
When your love is your best friend
My advice to you is make no mistake
If ya never want this feelin' to end
[Chorus:]
Show her the way she makes you love her
Show her the way she makes you feel
Let your emotions roll like thunder
You gotta let her know
You'll never let her go
Show her the way
Now love is for dreamers
Funny thing about dreams
Any moment they're gone
And love is the teacher
About makin' it last, about keepin' it strong
Promise the moon and stars
Swear the best is yet to come
But promises are not what it takes
To keep the flame forever young
All you really need to show
Is everything she needs to know
[Chorus 2x]
Show her, gotta show her, just show her the way(X3)
Show her the way
When that once in your life
Comes that one of a kind
Once she's inside it
She can shake up your heart
She can make up your mind
Everything in your life will change
When your love is your best friend
My advice to you is make no mistake
If ya never want this feelin' to end
[Chorus:]
Show her the way she makes you love her
Show her the way she makes you feel
Let your emotions roll like thunder
You gotta let her know
You'll never let her go
Show her the way
Now love is for dreamers
Funny thing about dreams
Any moment they're gone
And love is the teacher
About makin' it last, about keepin' it strong
Promise the moon and stars
Swear the best is yet to come
But promises are not what it takes
To keep the flame forever young
All you really need to show
Is everything she needs to know
[Chorus 2x]
Show her, gotta show her, just show her the way(X3)
Show her the way
Why Me Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I wake up while you lie sleepin'
I take one look at you and wonder
Am I still dreamin'
Are you some kind of angel
Come down to save me
Or just some place my imagination's tryin' to take me
What have I done to deserve what I feel
You give me somethin' that's too good to be real
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know just one thing
I still don't understand
[Chorus:]
Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me
Why me, Why me
I ain't got a clue, maybe just a notion
Sometimes I'm helplessly adrift out in the ocean
I feel like a child with one sole intention
In search of an answer that defies all comprehension
I'm in too deep but that's what you're all about
Got no hope or desire of finding my way out
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know that one thing
Can ya help me understand
[Chorus 2x]
Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me
Could've been anyone in this world, why me
Every lesson that I've learned
You've come to me and shown me
What it means to be loved(X2)
[Chorus 2x]
Why me, why me, why me, why me
Help me understand just what you've done to me
'Cause I'm the richest man that I could ever be
Tell me why, tell me why, baby
Can't Get Close Enough To You Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Lived my life and walked it alone
All my time and my heart was my own, for so long
I held the key to everything I'd need
Every dream, so sure that I'd succeed
'Cause I was strong, so strong
I swear that it was true, till the day that I found you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have ya done to me, baby
[Chorus 1:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
I've got no control
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you
Time goes by and it grows stronger still
With a smile I surrender my will, I'm on my knees
Passion's taken me so far across the line
All power of reason is no longer mine
I'm just waitin' to please
What else can I do, I'm forever wantin' you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have you done to me
[Chorus 1]
Baby, you're the last thing that I had planned
Got me livin' in the palm of your hand
The more I have of you the less I understand
How ya give me so much
And I just never get enough
Can't get close enough, baby
What have you done to me, baby
[Chorus 2:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
Filling my heart with your love
Still I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Can't get close enough to you
Can't get close enough to you, baby
Here in my arms
All my time and my heart was my own, for so long
I held the key to everything I'd need
Every dream, so sure that I'd succeed
'Cause I was strong, so strong
I swear that it was true, till the day that I found you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have ya done to me, baby
[Chorus 1:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
I've got no control
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you
Time goes by and it grows stronger still
With a smile I surrender my will, I'm on my knees
Passion's taken me so far across the line
All power of reason is no longer mine
I'm just waitin' to please
What else can I do, I'm forever wantin' you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have you done to me
[Chorus 1]
Baby, you're the last thing that I had planned
Got me livin' in the palm of your hand
The more I have of you the less I understand
How ya give me so much
And I just never get enough
Can't get close enough, baby
What have you done to me, baby
[Chorus 2:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
Filling my heart with your love
Still I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Can't get close enough to you
Can't get close enough to you, baby
Here in my arms
Let There Be Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan
We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search
As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe
In this hour and in truth what is it worth
When we can't escape the madness
We've created on this earth
They say that money talks but you and I
Know places money just don't say enough
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Let there be love, let there be love
We live divided behind imaginary walls
Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall
With hearts united we will never stand so tall
Reachin' out to one another
We'll find the meaning of it all
Ain't one power we will ever know
Could ever heal the poverty of the soul
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love
(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)
How many more promises spoken
While the dreams of the innocent die
Every day another heart gets broken
While the flame of hate survives
When will the healing begin in our lives
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Gotta be more than wise enough
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love
As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe
In this hour and in truth what is it worth
When we can't escape the madness
We've created on this earth
They say that money talks but you and I
Know places money just don't say enough
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Let there be love, let there be love
We live divided behind imaginary walls
Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall
With hearts united we will never stand so tall
Reachin' out to one another
We'll find the meaning of it all
Ain't one power we will ever know
Could ever heal the poverty of the soul
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love
(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)
How many more promises spoken
While the dreams of the innocent die
Every day another heart gets broken
While the flame of hate survives
When will the healing begin in our lives
Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Gotta be more than wise enough
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love
Pleasure Or Pain Lyrics - Bob Dylan
You pull me in, then ya push me away
Ask me leave, then ya beg me to stay
Bend me baby, bend me till I break
Do you really wanna know how much
This heart of mine can take
When I find myself in a daze sometimes
Lovin' you has got me losin' my mind
[Chorus:]
Is it pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Ya make me smile
Make me thankful that I breathe
Let me taste some heaven
Before ya drop me to my knees
Ya chain me baby, till it's time to set me free
Give me everything I want
Give me nothin' that I need
Well I ask myself why I keep holdin' on
Lovin' you is just a weakness too strong
[Chorus]
I still don't understand why I can't resist
What keeps me comin' back, comin' back for more of this
Pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me running to you
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Ask me leave, then ya beg me to stay
Bend me baby, bend me till I break
Do you really wanna know how much
This heart of mine can take
When I find myself in a daze sometimes
Lovin' you has got me losin' my mind
[Chorus:]
Is it pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Ya make me smile
Make me thankful that I breathe
Let me taste some heaven
Before ya drop me to my knees
Ya chain me baby, till it's time to set me free
Give me everything I want
Give me nothin' that I need
Well I ask myself why I keep holdin' on
Lovin' you is just a weakness too strong
[Chorus]
I still don't understand why I can't resist
What keeps me comin' back, comin' back for more of this
Pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me running to you
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Go The Distance Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
When There Are No Words Lyrics - Bob Dylan
All of this time
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do I describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones I've never found
Oh girl, there's so much I mean to say
And I'll keep tryin'
Till I finally find a way
[Chorus:]
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all
And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all I see that means everything to me
[Chorus]
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch
[Chorus]
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'Cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do I describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones I've never found
Oh girl, there's so much I mean to say
And I'll keep tryin'
Till I finally find a way
[Chorus:]
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all
And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all I see that means everything to me
[Chorus]
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch
[Chorus]
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'Cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words
Silent Night Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Here we are in the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we will all be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Here we are in the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we will all be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Joy To The World Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Joy to the world! The Lord has come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart, prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love

Let every heart, prepare Him room

The Christmas Song Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the fire
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa' s on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers' child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the fire
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa' s on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers' child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
O Holy Night Lyrics - Bob Dylan
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviours' birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its' worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
[Repeat]
It is the night of our dear Saviours' birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its' worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
[Repeat]
White Christmas Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright
This Is The Time Lyrics - Bob Dylan (feat. Wynonna Judd)
[Michael]
As the years say good-bye
One by one on silent wings they fly
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned lovin' you
This world will find its way somehow
I've got all that I need right here, right now
[Chorus:]
This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time
[Wynonna]
Sometimes life leads you blind
To the one you've been waiting to find
Sometimes life lets you see
Just how great the gift of love can be
Now the light that fires the brightest stars
Is waiting to shine on this moment of ours
[Chorus]
[Wynonna & Michael]
If life is just a dream, I know within my heart
Just getting closer to you
Is by far the sweetest part
So tell me one thing baby, the one thing I need to know
[Chorus]
As the years say good-bye
One by one on silent wings they fly
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned lovin' you
This world will find its way somehow
I've got all that I need right here, right now
[Chorus:]
This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time
[Wynonna]
Sometimes life leads you blind
To the one you've been waiting to find
Sometimes life lets you see
Just how great the gift of love can be
Now the light that fires the brightest stars
Is waiting to shine on this moment of ours
[Chorus]
[Wynonna & Michael]
If life is just a dream, I know within my heart
Just getting closer to you

Love Is The Power Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search
When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark
[Chorus:]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need
Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride
Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame
When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]
All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search
When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark
[Chorus:]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need
Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride
Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame
When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]
All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]
Said I Loved You... But I Lied Lyrics – Michael Bolton
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus:]
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you... But I lied
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus:]
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you... But I lied
Not Made Of Steel Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Under the endless sky
Beneath a million stars
Within the course of a lifetime
How very young we are
As I stumble on this journey
Along the road to what is real
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
With all the lessons of my learning
And the strength that I possess
Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
That take much more than my best
There are plans beyond my power
There are dreams beyond my reach
Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
Don't tell the story inside
So don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my pride
[Chorus:]
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of stone
I can't be anything more than I'm made of
Move heaven and earth on my own
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel
They teach you well to wear your armor
But what you've learned is just a lie
And there's a price to be paid for denying
With every tear you never cry
Don't ever show, don't let them know
The heart you never reveal
Don't ask me why don't make me hide
The pain you don't think I can feel
[Chorus]
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel
Oh don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride
[Chorus]
I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
Beneath a million stars
Within the course of a lifetime
How very young we are
As I stumble on this journey
Along the road to what is real
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
With all the lessons of my learning
And the strength that I possess
Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
That take much more than my best
There are plans beyond my power
There are dreams beyond my reach
Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
Don't tell the story inside
So don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my pride
[Chorus:]
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of stone
I can't be anything more than I'm made of

I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
The One Thing Lyrics – Michael Bolton
As I'm looking back in time
My heart was young and the world was mine
Driven by desires blind
I remember someone told me as the years roll by
Remember one thing, the one thing
People come and people go
The way the winds of fortune blow
So hard to find that heart of gold
I remember someone told me
When you find it don't let go
[Chorus:]
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
Makes this world heaven
Makes the whole thing right
You're the one thing
That means something baby
The one I believe in, the one thing I need in my life
As I look into your lovin' eyes
There ain't no doubt just where my treasure lies
I've searched the earth for somethin' true
But the only truth that matters is my love for you
And that's the one thing, the one thing
Timeless as the stars, faithful as the sea
Like the endless risin' sun I know you'll be there for me
There's so much love inside this heart of mine could break
'Cause I know I've found forever and with every breath I take
[Chorus]
And your love is like a rainbow
In a world that's black and white
You paint my dreams in color
And in your arms they come alive
You're my every inspiration
You're the wings that make me fly
You're my only destination
You're the one thing, the one thing in my life, ooh
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
[Chorus]
My heart was young and the world was mine
Driven by desires blind
I remember someone told me as the years roll by
Remember one thing, the one thing
People come and people go
The way the winds of fortune blow
So hard to find that heart of gold
I remember someone told me
When you find it don't let go
[Chorus:]
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
Makes this world heaven
Makes the whole thing right
You're the one thing
That means something baby
The one I believe in, the one thing I need in my life
As I look into your lovin' eyes
There ain't no doubt just where my treasure lies
I've searched the earth for somethin' true
But the only truth that matters is my love for you
And that's the one thing, the one thing
Timeless as the stars, faithful as the sea
Like the endless risin' sun I know you'll be there for me
There's so much love inside this heart of mine could break
'Cause I know I've found forever and with every breath I take
[Chorus]
And your love is like a rainbow
In a world that's black and white
You paint my dreams in color
And in your arms they come alive
You're my every inspiration
You're the wings that make me fly
You're my only destination
You're the one thing, the one thing in my life, ooh
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
[Chorus]
Soul Of My Soul Lyrics – Michael Bolton
We may be strangers
We may be worlds apart sometimes
And it's hard to accept
The things we just don't understand
So blind to each other
We only see one side of nowhere
Some things we may never know
If there's one thing you should ever know
[Chorus:]
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
The greatest treasure of my life that's what you are
Soul of my soul, child of my heart
I love you more than you know, soul of my soul
Into this world
We come with a heart that's open wide
And the best of this life
Is all I ever want for you
The love you believe in, your every dream
Your every passion
In time I know you'll come to see
Nothin' means as much to me
[Chorus]
There'll come a time when you'll be on your own
But in your heart you're never far from home
Every road you take
Your every living day
You will always be, you will always be
The soul of my soul
[Chorus]
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
Some kind of miracle of life that's what you are
Blood of my blood, light of my life
You mean much more than you know
Soul of my soul
We may be worlds apart sometimes
And it's hard to accept
The things we just don't understand
So blind to each other
We only see one side of nowhere
Some things we may never know
If there's one thing you should ever know
[Chorus:]
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
The greatest treasure of my life that's what you are
Soul of my soul, child of my heart
I love you more than you know, soul of my soul
Into this world
We come with a heart that's open wide
And the best of this life
Is all I ever want for you
The love you believe in, your every dream
Your every passion
In time I know you'll come to see
Nothin' means as much to me
[Chorus]
There'll come a time when you'll be on your own
But in your heart you're never far from home
Every road you take
Your every living day
You will always be, you will always be
The soul of my soul
[Chorus]
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
Some kind of miracle of life that's what you are
Blood of my blood, light of my life
You mean much more than you know
Soul of my soul
Completely Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Completely, wanna give my love, completely
I'd rather be alone than be in love just half the way
I want to find someone that I can trust, completely
Wanna give my heart, completely
To someone who'll completely give their heart to only me
And when I find that one
That's when I'll fall in love
[Chorus:]
Completely
Not half but whole
With heart and soul
Completely, not in between
But everything
Completely
That's the way it's got to be
The way I want someone to fall in love with me
Forever, wanna feel the word, forever
And know there'll be somebody there forever by my side
And when that feeling comes
That's when I'll give my love
[Chorus]
It's all or nothing at all for this heart of mine
And I won't give up this heart until the day I find
Someone who can be
Someone who loves me
[Chorus]
Lean On Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
[Chorus:]
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long, till I'm gonna need
Someone to lean on
You can call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem, that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride, if I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill, those of your needs
That you won't let show
[Chorus]
If there is a load, you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me...call me
If you need a friend....call me
If you need a friend....If you ever need a friend
Call me....Call me....
We all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem, that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride, if I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill, those of your needs
That you won't let show
[Chorus]
If there is a load, you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me...call me
If you need a friend....call me
If you need a friend....If you ever need a friend
Call me....Call me....
Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton
You can live your life on the edge of your seat
You can take your place down on easy street
Or just lose your mind
Over things only money can but
But it's a fact of life no matter what you do
Every stake ya claim, every dream come true
Down deep inside these kinda things never satisfy
Oh love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Love is the living dream
Callin' your name
Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you
[Chorus:]
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
Because you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can carry the flame across the finish line
You can sign your name in the sands of time
But fortune and fame, they're just things that ya leave behind
Well you think you got the world in the palm of your hand
But there's one thing missin' in your promised land
It's a thing called love, the one thing that your heart demands
Oh love is the rhythm of life
In your soul is where the secret lies
When love is lookin' through your eyes
Every feelin' inside
Is tellin' you somethin'
[Chorus]
You can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road
Sail full steam down the river of gold
If you ever get it all ya never get enough
'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Oh love is the precious thing
Set you free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Callin' your name, ooh
You can take your place down on easy street
Or just lose your mind
Over things only money can but
But it's a fact of life no matter what you do
Every stake ya claim, every dream come true
Down deep inside these kinda things never satisfy
Oh love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Love is the living dream
Callin' your name
Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you
[Chorus:]
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
Because you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can carry the flame across the finish line
You can sign your name in the sands of time
But fortune and fame, they're just things that ya leave behind
Well you think you got the world in the palm of your hand
But there's one thing missin' in your promised land
It's a thing called love, the one thing that your heart demands
Oh love is the rhythm of life
In your soul is where the secret lies
When love is lookin' through your eyes

[Chorus]
You can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road
Sail full steam down the river of gold
If you ever get it all ya never get enough
'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Oh love is the precious thing
Set you free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Callin' your name, ooh
A Time For Letting Go Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all its promise
Was never meant to be
All your hopes and desperation
Won't make it like it was
And you believe the pain will never end
Believe me in time it does
[Chorus:]
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again you know
There's a time for love a time for letting go
When you're standin' tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
Through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far away
You'll be far beyond the shadow
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you'll realize the endless night
Was only a moment in time
[Chorus]
The night is long the night is cold
With nothing to believe in
Just hold on, 'cause life goes on
Your new day is waiting, let go and let it begin
[Chorus]
Never Get Enough Of Your Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton
So alive, when you're near
Sometimes this pounding in my heart is all that I can hear
Everyday, every night
I feel my weakness gettin' stronger
With each moment passin' by
I keep tryin' to tell my heart
Just a matter of time, till the feeling subsides
But time doesn't change a thing
And I want you to know
That I need you more than ever
[Chorus:]
Never get enough of your love
It would only take me
Till the end of forever
Never get enough of your love
Heaven knows I've tried
But I can't get enough of your love
Can't deny what I feel
The more I fall into this dream the more I know it's real
I just run to your touch
'Cause nothin' else can satisfy this hunger for your love
They say that a time will come when the thrill is gone
Still it keeps goin' strong
And time doesn't mean a thing
'Cause as good as it gets
Oh it just keeps gettin' better
[Chorus]
The more I feel the more I feel about you
The trouble is I never get enough
The more I live the more I just can't live without you
I can't get enough
No never enough of your love
[Chorus]
Sometimes this pounding in my heart is all that I can hear
Everyday, every night
I feel my weakness gettin' stronger
With each moment passin' by
I keep tryin' to tell my heart
Just a matter of time, till the feeling subsides
But time doesn't change a thing
And I want you to know
That I need you more than ever
[Chorus:]
Never get enough of your love
It would only take me
Till the end of forever
Never get enough of your love
Heaven knows I've tried
But I can't get enough of your love
Can't deny what I feel
The more I fall into this dream the more I know it's real
I just run to your touch
'Cause nothin' else can satisfy this hunger for your love
They say that a time will come when the thrill is gone
Still it keeps goin' strong
And time doesn't mean a thing
'Cause as good as it gets
Oh it just keeps gettin' better
[Chorus]
The more I feel the more I feel about you
The trouble is I never get enough
The more I live the more I just can't live without you
I can't get enough
No never enough of your love
[Chorus]
In The Arms Of Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I see your face and feel your heartache
I see the trace of the tears you have cried
The silent sound of the heart left unspoken
You were strong enough to hide
All your life, no one's ever shown you
What it's really like to have someone to hold you
[Chorus:]
In the arms of love, heaven's just a heartbeat away
I'll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
And in the arms of love I'll lift you above all the madness
All of the pain
And you'll be safe and warm here in the arms of love
We search this world for a little compassion
For just one look through the eyes of a child
For one more chance to be a believer
While there's still a chance in time
All your life no one there beside you
Close your eyes and let this moment find you
[Chorus]
High above the world where dreams are sailing
Far beyond the brightest shinin' star
Where everything you've waited for is waiting
[Chorus]
I'll keep you far from harm here in the arms of love
I see the trace of the tears you have cried
The silent sound of the heart left unspoken
You were strong enough to hide
All your life, no one's ever shown you
What it's really like to have someone to hold you
[Chorus:]
In the arms of love, heaven's just a heartbeat away
I'll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
And in the arms of love I'll lift you above all the madness
All of the pain
And you'll be safe and warm here in the arms of love
We search this world for a little compassion
For just one look through the eyes of a child
For one more chance to be a believer
While there's still a chance in time
All your life no one there beside you
Close your eyes and let this moment find you
[Chorus]
High above the world where dreams are sailing
Far beyond the brightest shinin' star
Where everything you've waited for is waiting
[Chorus]
I'll keep you far from harm here in the arms of love
The Voice Of My Heart Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh Ooh Ooh
Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can I say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can I do, to prove what I'm feelin' for you
Oh, I could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe
[Chorus:]
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart
Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can I do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, I would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that I need
To hold you and make you believe
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until I can make you believe
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
[Chorus]
(listen to the voice of my heart) Baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me
Since I Fell For You Lyrics – Michael Bolton
When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's too bad, it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
Oh what can I do
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's too bad, it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
Oh what can I do
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
To Love Somebody Lyrics – Michael Bolton
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got
[Chorus:]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
[Chorus]
Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got
[Chorus:]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
[Chorus]
Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
Reach Out I'll Be There Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is crumblin' down
Darling reach out, darlin' reach out for me
[Chorus:]
I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me
When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darlin' reach out, darlin' reach out for me
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With all the love that will see you through
[Chorus]
I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinkin', you're alone now
No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for me
[Chorus]
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there

No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for me
[Chorus]
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With the love that will see you through

Yesterday Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by The Beatles)
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks like they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
[Chorus:]
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
[Chorus]

Knock On Wood Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I don't wanna lose
This good thing
That I got
If I do now
I would surely
Surely lose alot
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know
[Chorus:]
It's like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock, on wood baby
I'm not superstitious
About you
But I can't take no chance
Got me spinning, spinning baby
Baby, I'm in a trance
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know
[Chorus]
I better knock, baby
Ain't no secret
That woman
Fills my lovin' cup
She sees to it
That I get enough
Just one touch
Is better
You know it means so much
[Chorus]
Better knock back
I think I better knock, knock, knock, knock on wood
This good thing
That I got
If I do now
I would surely
Surely lose alot
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know
[Chorus:]
It's like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock, on wood baby
I'm not superstitious
About you
But I can't take no chance
Got me spinning, spinning baby
Baby, I'm in a trance
'Cause your love
Is better
Than any love I know
[Chorus]
I better knock, baby
Ain't no secret
That woman
Fills my lovin' cup
She sees to it
That I get enough
Just one touch
Is better
You know it means so much
[Chorus]
Better knock back
I think I better knock, knock, knock, knock on wood
Drift Away Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
[Chorus:]
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me thru
[Chorus]
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars comin' thru to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
[Chorus]
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame
[Chorus:]
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me thru
[Chorus]
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars comin' thru to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
[Chorus]
White Christmas Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree-tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all you Christmases be bright
Love Is A Wonderful Thing Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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
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
Time, Love And Tenderness Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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 luck's 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
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness
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 luck's 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
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness
Missing You Now Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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
Forever Isn't Long Enough Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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
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
Now That I Found You Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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 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 Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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
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
We're Not Making Love Anymore Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Here we are, just goin' through the motions one more time
You look into my eyes, but you don't see me
Here I am, feelin' like a stranger in your arms
I touch you, I hold you, but lately I don't know you
Something is wrong but we go on from day to day
And we just pretend it all away
We act like nothing's changed
But in our hearts we know, it's not the same
[Chorus:]
'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love
Remember when, you couldn't wait to run into my arms
When the love inside my heart was all you needed
Remember when, you made me wish the night would never end
The fire, the thunder, we lived to love each other
If ever two hearts were one, then it was your and mine
But that was another place in time
Now all we have to show
Are memories of a dream we used to know
[Chorus]
When did we lose our way, we had it all
Don't know how it all just slipped away
But oh, can we get it back again
Is it too late, can we try, just one time, 'Cause darling....
[Chorus]
We're not makin' love anymore
Baby we're not makin' love like before
Can we find a way to try
Find the magic one more time
'Cause we're not makin' love
You look into my eyes, but you don't see me
Here I am, feelin' like a stranger in your arms
I touch you, I hold you, but lately I don't know you
Something is wrong but we go on from day to day
And we just pretend it all away
We act like nothing's changed
But in our hearts we know, it's not the same
[Chorus:]
'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love
Remember when, you couldn't wait to run into my arms
When the love inside my heart was all you needed
Remember when, you made me wish the night would never end
The fire, the thunder, we lived to love each other
If ever two hearts were one, then it was your and mine
But that was another place in time
Now all we have to show
Are memories of a dream we used to know
[Chorus]
When did we lose our way, we had it all
Don't know how it all just slipped away
But oh, can we get it back again
Is it too late, can we try, just one time, 'Cause darling....
[Chorus]
We're not makin' love anymore
Baby we're not makin' love like before
Can we find a way to try
Find the magic one more time
'Cause we're not makin' love
New Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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]
Save Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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
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
Steel Bars Lyrics – Michael Bolton
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]
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]

Georgia On My Mind Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Talking 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight
Through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back
It always leads back to you
I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
It's Only My Heart Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I've been down, I've been weak
And I've lost enough sleep over you
It's gonna take me some time
But I've made up my mind
I'll get through
I'm gonna learn to carry on now
'Cause I'm determined to be strong now
Don't worry, don't worry
It's gonna be alright
Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my life
[Chorus:]
It's only my heart, breakin' inside me
It's only love, that's all it is
I won't beg, I won't plead
Won't get down on my knees for you
It's only my heart, it's only my heart
I'm not missing your touch
I don't hurt half as much as before
If I call you I swear
It don't mean that I care anymore
Just keep your love 'cause I don't need it
Wish I could make myself believe it
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't you be concerned
Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my world

And I've lost enough sleep over you
It's gonna take me some time
But I've made up my mind
I'll get through

Don't worry, don't worry
It's gonna be alright
Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my life

It's only my heart, breakin' inside me
It's only love, that's all it is
I won't beg, I won't plead
Won't get down on my knees for you
It's only my heart, it's only my heart
I'm not missing your touch
I don't hurt half as much as before

Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my world

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus:]
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus:]
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]
How Can We Be Lovers Lyrics – Michael Bolton
[Chorus:]
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends
Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation
[Chorus]
We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying
[Chorus]
Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out
[Chorus]
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends
Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation
[Chorus]
We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying
[Chorus]
Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out
[Chorus]
You Wouldn't Know Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton
So now you're back
So you've had your fun
And now you're comin' 'round again
Sure baby I should let you in
So you can let me down again
Well it doesn't really matter what
you say or do
You can tell me that you love me
But I know it ain't true
[Chorus:]
Cuz you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands from the
heavens above
You wouldn't know love
No, you wouldn't know love
You say you've changed
Say you've done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No darlin' I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby you'd say anything to get back
into my heart
But when it comes to lovin', you don't
even know where to start
[Chorus]
Did you think I'd believe anything
that you'd say
Let you come back to me
Baby there's just no way
Baby I've had enough
You wouldn't know love
[Chorus]
So you've had your fun
And now you're comin' 'round again
Sure baby I should let you in
So you can let me down again
Well it doesn't really matter what
you say or do
You can tell me that you love me
But I know it ain't true
[Chorus:]
Cuz you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands from the
heavens above
You wouldn't know love
No, you wouldn't know love
You say you've changed
Say you've done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No darlin' I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby you'd say anything to get back
into my heart
But when it comes to lovin', you don't
even know where to start
[Chorus]
Did you think I'd believe anything
that you'd say
Let you come back to me
Baby there's just no way
Baby I've had enough
You wouldn't know love
[Chorus]
When I'm Back On My Feet Again Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Gonna break from these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down that street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that
I'm strong
Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again
Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again
And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll be back on my feet again
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down that street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that
I'm strong
Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again
Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again
And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll be back on my feet again
From Now On Lyrics – Michael Bolton (feat. Suzie Benson)
[Michael:]
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say
[Suzie:]
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind
[Chorus]
[Michael & Suzie:]
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on
We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong
[Chorus]
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say
[Suzie:]
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind
[Chorus]
[Michael & Suzie:]
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on
We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong
[Chorus]
