*~ The Colour of My Love ~*
The
Power of Love
The whispers in the
morning Of lovers sleeping tight Are rolling like thunder now As I look in your eyes I hold on to your body And feel each move you make Your voice is warm and tender A love that I could not forsake 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms When the world outside's too Much to take That all ends when I'm with you Even though there may be times It seems I'm far away Never wonder where I am 'Cause I am always by your side 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn Of the power of love The sound of your heart beating Made it clear Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on Is light years away 'Cause I am your lady And you are my man Whenever you reach for me I'll do all that I can We're heading for something Somewhere I've never been Sometimes I am frightened But I'm ready to learn Of the power of love Misled I thought I knew you Thought that I knew you well We had a rhythm But I guess you never can tell Oh I learned early Never to ignore the signs You'll be forgiven It ain't worth that much to my mind Lovin' you (was) so easy It's hard to say goodbye But if it's the way it goes it goes Just a page in my history Just another one of those mysteries One more lover that used to be If you think you're in my head You been seriously misled Loving somebody ain't your average 9 to 5 It takes conviction it takes a will to survive I'm not somebody who commits the crime And leaves the scene But when I've been dissed I don't spend much time on what might've been I'm not about self-pity Your love did me wrong So I'm movin', movein' on Just a page in my history Just another one of those mysteries One more lover that used to be If you think you're in my head You been seriously misled Think Twice Don't think I can't feel there's something wrong You've been the sweetest part of my life so long I look in your eyes, there's a distant light And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight This is getting serious Are you thinking 'bout you or us Don't say what you're about to say Look back before you leave my life Be sure before you close that door Before you roll those dice Baby think twice Baby think twice for the sake of our love, for the memory For the fire and the faith that was you and me Baby I know it ain't easy when your soul cries out for a higher ground 'Coz when you're halfway up, you're always halfway down But baby this is serious Are you thinking 'bout you or us Don't say what you're about to say Look back before you leave my life Be sure before you close that door Before you roll those dice Baby think twice Baby this is serious Are you thinking 'bout you or us Don't say what you're about to say Look back before you leave my life Be sure before you close that door Before you roll those dice Don't do what you're about to do My everything depends on you And whatever it takes, I'll sacrifice Before you roll those dice Baby think twice Only One Road I'm looking back through the years Down this highway Memories, they all lead up to this one day And many dreams lost along the way Haunt me still I guess they always will When love was too much to bear I just left it there But here I stand face to face With this heart of mine Livin' without you I only fall behind We had a love most people never find All this time I never realized And the courage I finally found Has made me turn around There is only one road I'm walkin' Only one lifetime one heart to guide me Only one road I'm walkin' But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 'Cause I need you right here Beside me I can still hear the song of your laughter I can still taste the sorrow of your tears We said goodbye but our hearts did not hear Now my love there's nothing left to fear With all my heart put me through It leads me back to you There is only one road I'm walkin' Only one lifetime one heart to guide me Only one road I'm walkin' But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 'Cause I need you right here Beside me There is only one road I'm walkin' Only one lifetime one heart to guide me Only one road I'm walkin' But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 'Cause I need you right here Beside me But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 'Cause I need you right here Beside me Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down People are sayin' That boy is gonna hurt you His kind of love is not for real He's only playin' Foolin' with your heart girl But I know how he makes me feel And I don't need any other proof They just don't understand They don't know the truth Momma says he's bad for me Poppa says I'll be sorry Everybody's talkin' my baby down And all my friends doubt him Tell me I should live without him Everybody's talkin' my baby down He's not like the others Nobody wants to see it They don't even wanna try Judge a book by its cover And you'll never know the story There's so much more than meets the eye Oh and I know his heart is true I don't need anyone To tell me what to do My sisters and my brothers Tell me I should find another Everybody's talkin' my baby down Oh but they can't feel his touch They can't feel his kiss They don't know what it's like to be loved like this I don't care about their point of view 'Cause it's understood When the love is good Nothin' else is gonna do My sisters and my brothers Tell me I should find another Everybody's talkin' my baby down No they don't know what he's all about Everybody's just wanna talk my baby down No they can't see that his heart is gold Everybody wanna treat my baby so cold, so cold My sisters and my brothers Tell me I should find another Everybody's talkin' my baby down Next Plane Out I listen to the sound of the rain fallin' down my window Prayin' for a gentle wind To bring my baby back again Tryin' to be strong but I'm not getting any stronger Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine I lay awake 'coz I can't take another night lonely It's been too long, I can't hold on no more Leavin' on the next plane out 'Coz I gotta see my baby It's been too long since I held him in my arms And I just won't sleep at night Till he's sleeping here beside me Here beside me again Gotta be with my baby Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better Nothing's gonna ease this pain Until I'm in his arms again Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me Loneliness I'm gonna leave you far behind I'd walk for days through pouring rain Anything to be with him It's been so long, I can't be strong no more Leavin' on the next plane out 'Coz I gotta see my baby It's been too long since I held him in my arms And I just won't sleep at night Till he's sleeping here beside me Here beside me again Gotta be with him Gotta be by his side Gotta be with him My heart's made up my mind Leavin' on the next plane out 'Coz I gotta see my baby It's been too long since I held him in my arms And I just won't sleep at night Till he's sleeping here beside me Here beside me again 'Coz I gotta see my baby It's been too long since I held him in my arms And I just won't sleep at night Till he's sleeping here beside me Here beside me again Gotta be with my baby, gonna be with my baby Gonna take the next plane or the next train Gotta get there gotta see my baby And nothing's gonna stop me from leavin' this time Leavin' on the next plane out... Real Emotion You don't have to give me rings on my fingers Promise me the moon and the stars in the sky Or bring me roses just to show me you love me That ain't gonna win this heart of mine All the diamonds you can buy won't impress me Pretty words ain't gonna prove your love I need more than just tokens of affection I'm not asking for too much now baby I don't need no fancy cars Just need something from the heart... whoa I need real emotion Feel, gotta feel it inside Give me that real emotion 'Coz I need some Need to feel some tonight Give me a love that's genuine Real emotion, real emotion Show me something that my heart can believe in Imitation love don't mean a thing Baby it's gonna be the real thing or nothing Show me what's it gonna be now baby I'm not asking much from you Just a love that's deep and true... whoa I need real emotion Feel, gotta feel it inside Give me that real emotion 'Coz I need some Need to feel some tonight Give me a love that's genuine Real emotion, real emotion Not a cheap imitation of love I need something that's real I can feel in my heart baby I've been waiting so long For a love, for a love, for a love that's strong I don't need no fancy cars Just need something from the heart... whoa (Chorus) When I Fall in Love When I fall in love It will be forever Or I'll never fall in love In a restless world Like this is Love is ended before it's begun And too many Moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun When I give my heart I give it completely Or I'll never give my heart And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I fall in love with you Love Doesn't Ask Why Love doesn't ask why It speaks from the heart And never explains Don't you know that Love doesn't think twice It can come all at once Or whisper from a distance Don't ask me if this feeling's right or wrong It doesn't have to make much sense It just has to be this strong 'Cause when you're in my arms I understand We don't try to have a voice When our hearts make the choices There's no plan It's in our hands Love doesn't ask why It speaks from the heart And never explains Don't you know that Love doesn't think twice It can come all at once Or whisper from a distance Now I can feel what you're afraid to say If you give your soul to me Will you give too much away We can't let this moment pass us by Can't question this chance Or expect any answers We can try But love doesn't ask you why So let's take what we found And wrap it around us Love doesn't ask why It speaks from the heart And never explains Don't you know that Love doesn't think twice It can come all at once Or whisper from a distance Love doesn't ask why Refuse to Dance Got your invitation to the dance Wear your party dress Maybe I was just an innocent But I confess I never even knew the song The orchestra was playing See the cuties in their party clothes Oh it's getting warm Off the shoulder cut into the hip Like a uniform Did you think I'd want to tow the line Well now the line is broken Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance You said you're such a pretty thing You could make a mark I'll teach you all the steps you'll need Guide you through the dark Suddenly I tought I knew the song The orchestra was playing Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance See how they follow You say jump They jump You say turn They turn Look back in sorrow I won't be there Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance I Remember L.A. I remember L.A. Seems a lifetime ago We were stars on Sunset Boulevard What a movie we made There were days in the sun That have stayed forever young Nights when passion was invincible We tought love would never die There were moments in that lifetime That my heart still replays There were minutes, there were hours, there were days There are moments I still love you that same way When I remember L.A. I remember goodbye I watched your plane out of sight Love was over, time to close the book Still I go back for one last look There were moments in that lifetime That my heart still replays There were minutes, there were hours, there were days There are moments I still love you that same way When I remember L.A. No Living Without Loving You If you ever leave me Life will go on Stars will still be Bright as diamonds in the sky now Even if you said goodbye now Oh, the clock wouldn't stop, no That sun would keep shinning down If you weren't here with me This world would still be spinnin' 'round But baby there would be Just no living without loving you How could I ever survive Just no living without loving you It would be like living without being alive without you If you ever walk out this door What would I have left to live for What would there be left to do now What would I be without you now Oh, the clock wouldn't stop, no Each day would go on just the same There would still be air to breath It wouldn't stop the sun and rain But baby there would be Just no living without loving you How could I ever survive Just no living without loving you It would be like living without being alive without you That sun would still keep shinning down If you weren't here with me That world would still be spinnin' 'round But you know I would have nothing Won't have no life if I don't have your loving If I don't have you with me Just no living without loving you How could I ever survive Just no living without loving you It would be like living without being alive without you Lovin' Proof I know some lovers would be satisfied With sweet "I Love You's" and some pretty lines But that won't get you in this heart of mine No you'll never steal my heart away With just words sweet words that you say It's all in the things that you do I'm telling you If you want me to believe That I'm the only one you need I need lovin' proof I need lovin' proof Baby hold me in your arms And show me something from the heart Give me lovin' proof I need lovin' proof from you, ooh baby And if the love you got is strong and true and if you love me like you say you do Your tender touch will tell the honest truth And your kiss can never tell a lie 'Coz I'd see it in your eyes There's one way to ease any doubt I tell you now If you want me to believe That I'm the only one you need I need lovin' proof Baby I won't be impressed Unless I get some tenderness Give me lovin' proof I need lovin' proof from you, ooh baby (I need lovin' proof) If the love is right (I need lovin' proof) Prove it to me all night (I need lovin' proof) From you 'Coz you'll never steal my heart away With just words sweet words that you say It's all in the things that you do I'm telling you, telling you baby Just Walk Away I know I never loved this way before And no one else has loved me more With you I've laughed and cried I have lived and died What I wouldn't do just to be with you I know I must forget you and go on I can't hold back my tears too long Though life won't be the same I've got to take the blame And find the strenght I need to let you go Just walk away Just say goodbye Don't turn around now you may see me cry I mustn't fall apart Or show my broken heart Or the love I feel for you So walk away And close the door And let my life be as it was before And I'll never never know Just how I let you go But there's nothing left to say Just walk away There'll never be a moment I'll regret I've loved you since the day we met For all the love you gave And all the love we made I know I've got to find the strenght to say Just walk away Just say goodbye Don't turn around now you may see me cry I mustn't fall apart Or show my broken heart Or the love I feel for you So walk away And close the door And let my life be as it was before And I'll never never know Just how I let you go But there's nothing left to say Just walk away The Colour of My Love I'll paint my mood in shades of blue Paint my soul to be with you I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones Draw your mouth to my own I'll draw your arms around my waist Then all doubt I shall erase I'll paint the rain that softly lands on your wind-blown hair I'll trace a hand to wipe out your tears A look to calm your fears A silhouette of dark and light While we hold each other oh so tight I'll paint a sun to warm your heart Swearing that we'll never part That's the colour of my love I'll paint the truth Show how I feel Try to make you completely real I'll use a brush so light and fine To draw you close and make you mine I'll paint the truth Show how I feel Try to make you completely real I'll use a brush so light and fine To draw you close and make you mine I'll paint a sun to warm your heart Swearing that we'll never part That's the colour of my love I'll draw the years all passing by So much to learn so much to try And with this ring our lives will start Swearing that we'll never part I offer what you cannot buy Devoted love until we die |
