Donna Summer

Spring was never waiting for us till
it ran one step ahead
as we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages
we were pressed,
in love's hot, fevered iron
like a striped pair of pants.

*Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
Chinese checkers
by the trees

*Repeat

There'll be another song for me
and I will sing it
there'll be another dream for me
someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warn
and never let you catch me
looking at the sun, oh yeah
and after all the loves of my life
after all loves in my life
you'll be the one

I will take my life into my hands
and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
and my passion flow
like rivers through the sky
oh and after all the loves in my life
after all the loves in my life
you'll still be the one
and I'll ask myself why.

*Repeat

What would I have to do
to get you to notice me too
do I
stand in line
one of a million
admiring eyes

Walk a tightrope way up high
write your name across the sky

*I'm going crazy just to let you know
you'd be amazed how much I love you so baby
when I get my hands on you I won't let go
this time I know it's for real

Should I write or call your home
shout it out with a megaphone
radio, TV news
got to find a way
to get my message to you

To say I love you with a neon sign
anything to make you mine

**I'm going crazy just to let you know
if I wait too long for you I might explode baby
I've been around the block enough to know
that this time I know it's for real

Oh baby
this time, this time, this time, this time
oh baby
this time, this time

Walk a tightrope way up high
write your name across the sky

*Repeat

**Repeat

Ooh
it's so good, it's so good
it's so good, it's so good
it's so good
Ooh
heaven knows, heaven knows
heaven knows, heaven knows
heaven knows
Ooh
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love

I feel love, I feel love, I feel love

Ooh
fallin' free, fallin' free
fallin' free, fallin' free
fallin' free
Ooh
you and me, you and me
you and me, you and me
you and me
Ooh
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love

I feel love, I feel love, I feel love

Ooh
I'll get you, I'll get you
I'll get you, I'll get you
I'll get you
Ooh
what you do, what you do
what you do, what you do
what you do
Ooh
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love, I feel love
I feel love

I feel love, I feel love, I feel love

Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
and they told the world just how you felt
it must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
they never said your name
but I knew just who they meant.

Oh, I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered too
if by change you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling about you
but they said it really loud
they said it on the air
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh now, now

Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
things are not the same since we broke up last June
the only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
and that you think you'll be comin' home real soon
whoa oh yeah yeah
and it made me feel proud when I heard you say
you couldn't find the words to say it yourself
and now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
'cause they said it really loud
they said it on the air
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio

If you think that love isn't found on the radio
well tune right in you made find the love you lost
'cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
it sounded really loud they said it really loud
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio whoa oh oh
on the radio, radio, radio (fade)

Raining, it's pouring
my love life is boring me to tears,
after all these years

No sunshine, no moonlight,
no stardust, no sign of romance
we don't stand a chance

I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
our love, our love

Raining (raining)
pouring (pouring)
there's nothing left for us here
and we won't waist another tear

If you've had enough,
don't put up with is stuff,
don't you do it
If you've had your fill,
get the check pay the bill,
you can do it

Tell him to just get out
Pack his raincoat, show him out
Just look him in the eyes and simple shout
Enough is enough
I can't go on, Enough is enough,
I want him out (I want him out that door now)

I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
our love, our love..Our love, our love.

Enough is enough
I can't go on, Enough is enough,
I want him out (I want him out that door now)
Enough is enough, is enough, is enough, ...

Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way
turn up the old victrola
gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy

when you find the perfect love

Dim all the lights sweet darling

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is.
And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything.
9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell.
And she's looking real pretty. She's waiting for her clientele.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Twentyeight years have come and gone.
And she's seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in. They really seem to need her there.
It's a sacrifice working day to day. For little money just tips for
pay.
But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

She already knows she's seen her bad times.
She already knows these are the good times.
She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill.
She works haaaaard.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.
She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

When I was young
I used to dream of going far
having my once, in a lifetime change
to prove I was a star.
A thousand times you stood
in the wings
dreaming it was me,
I heard the people going wild
but it was just my fantasy

Life is a dance
and baby we're just players
so stand up and smile
and don't be afraid

*This is my night
this is my song
standing right here
out on the stage
is where I belong
this is my song
this is my night
standing right here
out on the stage
in the spotlight

I traveled the road
wherever the road would lead
I made mistakes but I
wouldn't quit
I made myself believe
dreams come true
for those who dream
so one day you can say
the music be the fruit of life
and let the music play.

Life is a dance
and baby we're just players
so stand up and smile
and don't be afraid

*Repeat

This is my life

So many times in my life
I've been alone, left alone
Heart broken and
Turned around
I find myself
Crying in the night time
Dying out loud
In the night I sleeplessly
Wake up
From a dream that's
Tormenting me
I, I, I, I, I gotta get help
Oh, yeah

*Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Come heal me
Love is the healer
Love is the healer
Set me free

Late at night I was afraid
And I tried to turn away
I was afraid to face
What in-evil-it-able is

Say you know the way
To find true freedom
Can you save yourself
From the pain you're feeling
Something in my head
that you're dreaming
That the angels said

*Repeat

I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love
I am on a mission, a mission of love

*Repeat

Do you know the way to love
Do you know the place of love
Do you know what love
Can do
Do you know what
It'll do for you

Stranded alone on a sea of emotion
you found me
your love was a light
in the darkness that shone
so profoundly
say that you'll stay
do not be afraid, afraid
you, you're my breath
the air I breathe
you are my imagination
su le finesse
song of my heart
secrets I'm not afraid to whisper

Con te partiro
I'll go where you lead me
wherever you are
(forever and ever we'll stay)
in love together
I will go with you
I'll go where you lead me
forever true
(forever and ever we'll stay)
in love together

Stranded alone on a sea of emotion
you found me
it's you who first found me
come here, come here
put your arms around me,
come here
it's you who surrounds me
come here, come here
come here
come here
you, you're my breath
the air I breathe
you are my imagination
su le finesse
song of my heart
secrets I'm not afraid to whisper

heart!

My baby wears his heart on his sleeve
He wears a look on his face that says
please please please
Love it everything he flaunts love it
Everything he vaunts
I just can`t hesitate when he wants what he wants
And I said oh chucka oh chucka oh chucka
Last night he calls me on the telephone
You know at 2 in the morning
I just want to sleep on
But he got a way with words and
He got a way with charm
You know at 3 in the morning
he`s back into my arms
And I said oh chucka oh chucka oh chucka
He`s the boy he`s the boy he`s the boy
He`s my Romeo oh oh
He`s my R O M E O, Romeo
He looks so good the girls stop and stare
But I soon wanna look with his double dark hair
I`m not gonna let him go
I`m not taking any chance
It`s a one in million mad mad romance
And I said oh chucka oh chucka oh chucka
He`s the boy he`s the boy he`s the boy
He`s my Romeo oh oh
He`s my R O M E O, Romeo

Full of emptiness
broken promises
and love turned out so sad
the hurt goes on and on

Full of emptiness
hello loneliness
good friends will mind
the sands of time
have slipped through my hands

From the bottom to the top
why he had me feeling fine
then I took a long long drop
when he walked out of my life
my world

Full of emptiness
that and something less
and memories of him
have never seemed to be"

Full of emptiness
broken promises
and love turned out so sad
the hurt goes on and on

Full of emptiness
hello loneliness
good friends will mind
the sands of time
have slipped through my hands

From the bottom to the top
why he had me feeling fine
then I took a long long drop
when he walked out of my life
my world

Full of emptiness
that and something less
and memories of him
have never seemed to be"

Emptiness and just a memory
love is gone with nothing left for me
all those wasted feeling for something I no longer have
I never knew that love could hurt so bad

Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody
play for me, just for me
'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone
on my own

I can't bear to see the sun go down
casting stormy shadows all around
nothing seems to matter, I just get by from day to day
I never thought that you would leave this way

Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody
play for me, just for me
'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone
on my own

Winter melody
play for me, just for me
'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone
on my own

Loneliness, that's all that's left for me
happiness is chilled by winter's breeze
I keep on remembering the day that you came along
and since you left, well I just sing the song

Winter melody, winter melody, winter melody
play for me, just for me
'cause he's not coming home and I'm here alone
on my own

Power Of Love/Love Power
Written by: Luther Vandross, Marcus Miller, Teddy Vann

When I say goodbye it is never for long
'Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
'Cause I believe in the power of love

When you're close I can feel the power
When it's love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It's something that I know so well

Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love, yeah
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love

Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that we can't deny
Is the power of love

So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin' straight from above, it's the power of love
You can't deny it, so don't even try it
Let the feelin' sweep you off your feet

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love

Ooh, ooh, ooh
My-my-my-my-my-my
You've got to feel the power
Yeah, yeah

So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it's the power of love
So glad we've found it, now there's no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet

You've got to believe in love
It's a feeling that's next to none
Can't stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone to try
I promise you'll reach the sky
One thing that you can't deny
Is the power of love

When we walk down the street
We don't care who we see or who we meet
Don't need to run, don't need to hide
'Cause we've got something burning inside, yeah

We've got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, ooh...ooh...
We've got love power
And together we can't fall, sing it with

We've got love (Love) power (Power)
It's the greatest power of them all
Oh, we've got love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, and all the good

(We've got love) Ooh, we've got love (Power), yes, we do
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Love-love-love (Power)
(And together we can't fall) We'll never fall if we've got

(We've got love) If we've got love (Power)
(It's the greatest power of them all)
(We've got love) Tell the world we got love (Power) tell the people about it
(And together we can't fall) And it's all because we've got, we've got

We've got love (Love) power (Power)
Oh, it's the greatest power of them all and if you believe me
We've got more love (Love) power (Power)
And together we can't fall, I know, can't fall

We can't fall (Love) when there's a love power (Power)
'Cause it's the greatest power of them all
