Like a Prayer
|
|
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing I have no choice, I hear your voice Feels like flying I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling Out of the sky, I close my eyes Heaven help me When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there Like a child you whisper softly to me You're in control just like a child Now I'm dancing It's like a dream, no end and no beginning You're here with me, it's like a dream Let the choir sing When you call my name it's like a little prayer I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery Just like a dream, you are not what you seem Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there Just like a prayer, I'll take you there It's like a dream to me |

Express Yourself
|
|
Don't go for second best baby Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to Make him express how he feels and maybe Then you'll know your love is real You don't need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold Fancy cars that go very fast you know they never last no, no What you need is a big strong hand to Life you to your higher ground Make you feel like a queen on a throne Make him love you till you can't come down You'll never come down Don't go for second best baby Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to Make him express how he feels and maybe Then you'll know your love is real Long stem roses are the way to your heart but He needs to start with your head Satin sheets are very romantic What happens when you're not in bed You deserve the best in life So if the time isn't right then move on Second best is never enough You'll do much better baby on your own, baby on your own Don't go for second best baby Put your love to the test you know, you know you've got to Make him express how he feels and maybe Then you'll know your love is real Express yourself You've got to make him Express himself Hey, hey, hey, hey So if you want it right now, make him show you how Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not And when you're gone he might regret it Think about the love he once had Try to carry on, but he just won't get it He'll be back on his knees to express himself You've got to make him express himself, hey hey |

Love Song
|
|
Je suis prete. Est-ce que vous etes pret, aussi? Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind Oh no baby my love isn't blind Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind Don't go givin' me one of your lines Say what you mean, mean what you say Don't go and throw our love away God strike me dead if I did you wrong This is not a love song Are you just being kind Am I losing my mind Time goes by so slowly for those who wait And those who run seem to have all the fun But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine Are you just being kind Nowhere to run nowhere to hide That's how I feel, don't fog my mind Mean what you say or baby I am gone This is not a love song Are you just being kind Am I losing my mind Love song, love song Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you I'm gone but I just want you to know That this is not a love song that I want to sing |

Till Death Do Us Part
|
|
Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't 'Cause you don't love me no more You need so much but not from me Turn your back in my hour of need Something's wrong but you pretend you don't see I think I interrupt your life When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife I'm not your friend, I'm just your little wife Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't 'Cause you don't love me no more They never laugh, not like before She takes the keys, he breaks the door She cannot stay here anymore He's not in love with her anymore The bruises they will fade away You hit so hard with the things you say I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows You're not in love with someone else You don't even love yourself Still I wish you'd ask me not to go Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't 'Cause you don't love me no more He takes a drink, she goes inside He starts to scream, the vases fly He wishes that she wouldn't cry He's not in love with her anymore He makes demands, she draws the line He starts the fight, she starts the lie But what is true when something dies He's not in love with her anymore You're not in love with someone else You don't even love yourself Still I wish you'd ask me not to go Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't Our luck is running out of time You're not in love with me anymore I wish that it would change, but it won't 'Cause you don't love me no more They never laugh, not like before She takes the keys, he breaks the door She cannot stay here anymore He's not in love with her anymore He takes a drink, she goes inside He starts to scream, the vases fly He wishes that she wouldn't cry He's not in love with her anymore He makes demands, she draws the line He starts the fight, she starts the lie But what is true when something dies He's not in love with her anymore She's had enough, she says the end But she'll come back, she knows it then A chance to start it all again Till death do us part |

Promise to Try
|
|
Little girl don't you forget her face Laughing away your tears When she was the one who felt all the pain Little girl never forget her eyes Keep them alive inside I promise to try, it's not the same Keep your head held high, ride like the wind Never look behind, life isn't fair That's what you said, so I try not to care Little girl don't run away so fast I think you forgot to kiss, kiss her goodbye Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall Does she hear my voice in the night when I call Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew I was afraid you'd go away, too Little girl you've got to forget the past And learn to forgive me I promise to try, but it feels like a lie Don't let memory play games with your mind She's a faded smile frozen in time I'm still hanging on, but I'm doing it wrong Can't kiss her goodbye, but I promise to try |

So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game Before I start this dance I take a chance in telling you I want more than just romance You are my destiny, I can't let go baby can't you see Cupid please take your aim at me Cherish the thought Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I) Cherish the joy You keep bringing it into my life (I'm always singing it) Cherish your strength You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I) Perish the thought Of ever leaving, I never would I was never satisfied with casual encounters I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love That's the way it's got to be Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet So don't underestimate my point of view Cherish the thought Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I) Cherish the joy You keep bringing it into my life (I'm always singing it) Cherish your strength You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I) Perish the thought Of ever leaving, I never would Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you Who? You! I could never forget to Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet So don't underestimate my point of view Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you Who? You! I could never forget to Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love Cherish the thought Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I) Cherish the joy You keep bringing it into my life (I'm always singing it) Cherish your strength You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I) Perish the thought Of ever leaving, I never would Give me faith give me joy, my boy I will always cherish you |

Dear Jessie

Baby face don't grow so fast Make a special wish that will always last Rub this magic lantern He will make your dreams come true for you Ride the rainbow to the other side Catch a falling star and then take a ride To the river that sings and the clover that Brings good luck to you, it's all true Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie Hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie See the roses raining on the love parade If the land of make believe Is inside your heart it will never leave There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait And dancing moons, for you Close your eyes and you'll be there Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old Where dreams are made, your love parade Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie Hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie See the roses raining on the love parade Your dreams are made inside the love parade It's a holiday inside the love parade On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed Never forget what I said, hang on you're already there Close your eyes and you'll be there Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old Where dreams are made, your love parade Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie Hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie See the roses raining on the love parade |

Oh Father

It's funny that way, you can get used To the tears and the pain What a child will believe You never loved me You can't hurt me now I got away from you, I never thought I would You can't make me cry, you once had the power I never felt so good about myself Seems like yesterday I lay down next to your boots and I prayed For your anger to end Oh Father I have sinned You can't hurt me now I got away from you, I never thought I would You can't make me cry, you once had the power I never felt so good about myself Oh Father you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away Oh Father you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away Maybe someday When I look back I'll be able to say You didn't mean to be cruel Somebody hurt you too You can't hurt me now I got away from you, I never thought I would You can't make me cry, you once had the power I never felt so good about myself |

Keep, keep it together Keep people together forever and ever I got brothers, I got some sisters too Stuck in the middle tell you what I'm gonna do Gonna get out of here, I'm gonna leave this place So I can forget every single hungry face I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs To get attention I must always be the clown I want to be different, I want to be on my own But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home Keep it together in the family They're a reminder of your history Brothers and sisters they hold the key To your heart and your soul Don't forget that your family is gold I hit the big time but I still get the blues Everyone's a stranger, city life can get to you People can be so cold, never want to turn your back Just givin' to get something Always wanting something back When I get lonely and I need to be Loved for who I am, not what they want to see Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me We have a connection, home is where the heart should be Keep it together in the family They're a reminder of your history Brothers and sisters they hold the key To your heart and your soul Don't forget that your family is gold When I look back on all the misery And all the heartache that they brought to me I wouldn't change it for another chance 'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance When I get lonely and I need to be Loved for who I am, not what they want to see Brothers and sisters, they've always been there for me We have a connection, home is where the heart should be When I look back on all the misery And all the heartache that they brought to me I wouldn't change it for another chance 'Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance Keep it together in the family They're a reminder of your history Brothers and sisters they hold the key To your heart and your soul Don't forget that your family is gold Keep, keep it together Keep people together forever and ever |

Spanish Eyes
|
|
I know for sure his heart is here with me Though I wish him back, I know he cannot see My hands trembling, I know he hears me sing I light this candle and watch it throw Tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ, he'll come tonight To pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this if God exists Then help me pray for Spanish eyes He had to fight like all the rest In the barrio all the streets are paved with fear I don't understand; at least he was a man I light this candle and watch it throw Tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ, he'll come tonight To pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this if God exists Then help me pray for Spanish eyes How many lives will they have to take? How much heartache? How many suns will they have to burn? Spanish eyes When will they ever learn? You were not the Maravilla in our minds We were proud to fight but we cannot win this blind Stand your guns against the wall Who's next in line to fall I light this candle and watch it throw Tears on my pillow And if there is a Christ, he'll come tonight To pray for Spanish eyes And if I have nothing left to show Tears on my pillow What kind of life is this if God exists Then help me pray for Spanish eyes Tus lagrimas de tristeza No me dejan olvidarte Your tears of sadness Will not let me forget you How many lives will they have to take? How much heartache? How many suns will they have to burn? Spanish eyes When will they ever learn? |

For thou art the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory Forever and ever. Amen Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment But most of all, because I have offended Thee, oh my God Who art all good and deserving of all my love I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace To confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life And to avoid the temptations of evil Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee And I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment But most of all, because my God, I have offended Thee Who art all good Like I knew you would And deserving of all my love I reserve, I reserve, I reserve I reserve, I resolve I have a reservation I have a reservation What do you mean it's not in the computer? |
