Ray Charles - Love Songs (2002) by Ray Charles (보컬) on maniadb.com

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart
(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
<Sing a song, children>
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

I really can't stay - Betty, it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Betty, it's cold out there
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful what you're hurry
And father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more - Why don't you put some records on while I pour

And the neighbors might think - Betty it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah but it's cold outside

I simply must go - Betty it's cold outside
The answer is no - I say, it's cold out there
The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out that window, man that's hard

My sister will be suspicious - Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Oh, never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Betty, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorro

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I'm say Georgia
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
I said Georgia,
Ooh 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 to you
Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are gray
You'll never know dear
how much I love you
Please don't take
my sunshine away
The other night dear
as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head
and cried

You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are gray
You'll never know dear
how much I love you
Please don't take
my sunshine away
The other night dear
as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head
and cried~

Once I was young...
Yesterday, perhaps...
Danced with Jim and Paul
And kissed some other chaps.

Once I was young,
But never was naive.
I thought I had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sleeve.

And now I know I was naive.
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,

How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what time it was
You hold my hand.
Warm like the month of May it was,

And I'll say it was grand.
Grand to be alive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand tosee your face, feel your touch,

Hear your voice say I'm all your own.
I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I wanted love and here it was

Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And I know what time it is now.
Once I was old --

Twenty years or so --
Rather well preserved:
The wrinkles did't show.
Once I was old,

But not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
Up my immaginary gun.
But now I ain for only one!

I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
How sublime it was too!

I didn't know what time it was
You hold my hand.
Warm like the month of May it was,
And I'll say it was grand.

Grand to be alive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand tosee your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say I'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I whanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.

I'm wise,
And I know what time it is now.

They say
Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break
when I awake
Let it be so I only know
Ruby it's you
They say
Ruby you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see
heartaches for me
Right from the start
who stole my heart
Ruby it's you
I hear your voice
and I must come to you
must come to you
I have no choice
so what else can I do
what else can I do
They say
Ruby you're like a flame
In to my life you came
And though I should beware
still I just don't care
You thrill me so
I only know
Ruby it's you
I hear your voice
and I must come to you
I have no choice
what else can I do
what can I do
They say
Ruby you're like a flame
In to my life you came
And though I should beware
still I don't care
You thrill me so
I only know
Ruby it's you

What Would I Do (Without You)
(Candy and flowers)
For my Valentine
(Minutes and hours)
You stay on my mind
(Romance and love songs)
I'm down on my knees
(Promise me you'll belong)
Oh to only me

But that's just a start
What I'm trying to say
I'd give you my heart
But it's yours anyway

[Chorus]
What would I do without you
To me you're the meaning of
The meaning of love
And I'll always be true
Forever with you
It just isn't long enough
What would I do
Without You
(I love only you)
And nobody else
(With feelings so new)
Like I've never felt
(Come hold my hand)
Aw, get all closer to me
(Cause you understand)
How true love should be

But that's just a start
What I'm trying to say
I'd give you my heart
But it's yours anyway

[Chorus]

What would I do without you
To me you're the meaning of
The meaning of love
And I'll always be true
Forever with you, yeah
It just isn't long enough
What would I do
Without.....

Your kisses and your tender touch
I love you I love you I love you so much
Baby there's something I want you to know
I'm gonna die if you ever go

[Chorus]

What would I do without you
To me you're the meaning of
The meaning of love
And I'll always be true
Forever with you
It just isn't long enough
What would I do
Without You
What would I do without you
To me you're the meaning of
The meaning of love
And I'll always be true
Forever with you
Forever's not long enough
What would I do
Without You
What would I do (yeah

I've been so many places
in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out
my life in stages
With ten thousand
people watching
But we're alone now
and I'm singin'
this song for you
I know your image of me
is what I hope to be baby
I've treated you unkindly
but girl can't you see
There's no one more
important to me
So darling can't
you please see through me
'cause we're alone now
and I'm singin' my song for you
You taught me precious
secrets of the truth
withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front
and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
so if my words don't
come together
Listen to the melody
cause my love's in there hiding

I love you in a place where
there's no space or time
I love you for my life
'cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin'
my song for you

I love you in a place where
there's no space or time
I've loved you for my life yes
you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin'
my song for you yes
We were alone and I was singin'
this song for you baby
We were alone
and I was singin' my song
Singin' my song singin' my song
singin' my song
Singin' my song
