Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better than me)
Makes me happy (feel this way)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (than you)
At first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better me)
Can make me feel this way (makes me happy) (makes me feel) this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (ah make me feel)
Makes me happy (so much love)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Makes me happy makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (whoa!)
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody (make me feel this way)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Makes me happy (nobody babe)
Makes me feel this way (ain't nobody no, no, nobody babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, yeah)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (say yeah, makes me feel, makes feel this way)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way

Papillon (aka Hot Butterfly)
A faded photograph I mailed to you
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize
All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize
Chanson papillon
Chanson papillon
Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Let it slide on by
Let it slide on by
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Just begun to fly
Ooh, yeah, I wanna say
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
Chanson papillon, chanson
With feelings I don't want to face
And a long song of surrender in blue
I remember when you took my breath away
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize
All our memories are burning in time
Like a bittersweet perfume
Can you tell me how a love that's so fine
Could have climaxed in a single afternoon
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
We let it slide on by
We didn't realize
Chanson papillon
Chanson papillon
Gone are the days of instant romance
And the nights of slow goodbyes
That was a time of life when foxy was the dance
But then you got wise to all my lies

Let it slide on by
Let it slide on by
Chanson papillon, we were very young
Like butterflies, like hot butterfly
Chanson papillon, we had just begun
Just begun to fly
Ooh, yeah, I wanna say

I Know You I Live You
It's not difficult for me
To say I love you
It wouldn't be difficult
If you would say the same
And believe me when I tell you
That I know you very well
I know you like I know my name
I think that I have met you
Somewhere in my dreams
I may never have met you at all
And I know you must be thinking
"What a silly girl"
I know your every thought and scheme
I wake up to the feeling each morning
I go to bed to it at night
I know you, I love you
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I live you
One day you'll realize
That we're not strangers
You open up your eyes
You'll know me too
And see that we were
Meant to be together, my dear
And all the rest is up to you
I wake up to the feeling each morning
I go to bed to it at night
I know you, I love you
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I feel you as if you were a part of me
I know you, I know you
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I think I know you more than you know yourself
I know you, I live you
Know you, live you
Know you, live you
Know you
And without me you'd stumble
And without you I'd fall
Without each other we would not be at all
Aah, like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
Like I feel the sun in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
To say I love you
It wouldn't be difficult
If you would say the same
And believe me when I tell you
That I know you very well
I know you like I know my name
I think that I have met you
Somewhere in my dreams
I may never have met you at all
And I know you must be thinking
"What a silly girl"
I know your every thought and scheme
I wake up to the feeling each morning

I know you, I love you
Like I feel a song in the morning

I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I live you
One day you'll realize

You open up your eyes
You'll know me too

Love Me Still
Here is my hand for you to hold
Here's a part of me they have not sold
I've wandered far, I've had my fill
I need you now, do you love me still?
Only you have seen the hidden part of me
Call me fool hearted if you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
So many smiles and lies surround me
Empty expectations, faceless fears
Sometimes this life is a bitter pill
I love you now, do you love me still?
You have been mine since time untold
Our love is immortal, don't you know?
Others will come and they will go
But I love you young and I love you old
Only you have seen the other side of me
Call me naive, I think you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
Here are the eyes that only see you
Here's the mouth that only calls your name
Here is the song they cannot kill
I love you now, do you love me still?
Here's a part of me they have not sold
I've wandered far, I've had my fill
I need you now, do you love me still?
Only you have seen the hidden part of me
Call me fool hearted if you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
So many smiles and lies surround me
Empty expectations, faceless fears
Sometimes this life is a bitter pill
I love you now, do you love me still?
You have been mine since time untold
Our love is immortal, don't you know?
Others will come and they will go
But I love you young and I love you old
Only you have seen the other side of me
Call me naive, I think you will
I loved you then, do you love me still?
Here are the eyes that only see you

Here is the song they cannot kill

The End Of A Love Affair
(Edward C. Redding)
So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!
So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?
So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?
So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!
So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?
So I smoke a little too much and I drink a little too much
And the tunes I request aren't always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair?

And the Melody Still Lingers On (A Night in Tunisia)
[ Featuring Dizzy Gillespie ]
A long time ago in the forties
Dizzy and bird gave us this song
They called it "a night in Tunisia"
And the melody still lingers on
It was new and very strange
Blew the squares right off the stage
Few could play along
But the melody still lingers on
Max and miles to name just two
Together they grew
The music was young and strong
And the melody still lingers on
They paved the way for generations
From Coltrane to Stevie
No one could stop the winds of change
Without them where'd we be?
The duke and the pres were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same
The duke and the pres were there before
The past you can't ignore
The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame
And the melody remains the same
A long time ago in the forties
Dizzy and bird gave us this song
They called it "a night in Tunisia"
And the melody still lingers on
In the forties
A night in Tunisia
In the forties
A night in Tunisia
In the forties
A night in Tunisia
In the forties

Through The Fire
I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun
When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire
I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you

What Cha Gonna Do For Me
All night and day
Just chippin' away
It's all in a day's work
Tryin' hard to defend
The time that i spend alone
The crown that you lose
Exploiting the blues
Won't get the job done
As hard as it bites
I'm keepin' my sights on you
Chorus:
What cha' gonna do for me
What cha' gonna do for me
What cha' gonna do for me
When the chips are down
In the cool of the night
When nothing seems right
The feeling can take you
Strange as it seems
You make your own dreams come true
If you try to conceal
The way that you feel
You're asking for trouble
Just as sure as i cry
I'm keeping my eye on you
Chorus (2x)
You don't have to tell me
I'm to blame for this
'cause what you hold against me
Is what i miss
Just chippin' away
It's all in a day's work
Tryin' hard to defend
The time that i spend alone
The crown that you lose
Exploiting the blues
Won't get the job done
As hard as it bites
I'm keepin' my sights on you
Chorus:
What cha' gonna do for me
What cha' gonna do for me
What cha' gonna do for me
When the chips are down
In the cool of the night
When nothing seems right
The feeling can take you
Strange as it seems
You make your own dreams come true
If you try to conceal
The way that you feel
You're asking for trouble
Just as sure as i cry
I'm keeping my eye on you
Chorus (2x)
You don't have to tell me
I'm to blame for this
'cause what you hold against me
Is what i miss

Everywhere
Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know I'm falling
And I don't know what to say
I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud
And I can't get the words out
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Wanna be with you everywhere
Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends all say
I'm acting peculiarly
C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better do it soon
Before you break my heart
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere
Wanna be with you everywhere
I, I

Oh I, I want to be with you everywhere

Never Miss The Water
[ Featuring Me'shell Ndegéocello ]
Never miss the, never miss the
you never miss the water until is gone
Never miss the, never miss the
you never miss the water until is gone
All is fair in love boy
When the love is shared
Now you've been acting for some time
Like you just don't care
About me
Well my mama used to say
That there would come a day
When fools begin to open up their eyes
You never miss the water
'Til the well runs dry ('til the well runs dry)
Now I have had enough bad love
So I'm telling you goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye- bye, bye-bye (you never miss the water until is gone)
You've been taking me for granted
You even made me cry
And sorry just ain't good enough
Baby not this time
My mama used to say
That there would come a day
When the truth can no longer be denied
You never miss the water
'Til the well runs dry ('til the well runs dry)
I have had enough bad love
So I'm telling you goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
You never miss the water
'Til the well runs dry ('til the well runs dry)
I have had enough bad love
So I'm telling you goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Hmm, some of them lives where love has gone, maybe never been but it's time to move on
Now look at here, you never miss the 'til it's gone yeah
You got step back, 'cause if you don't care
No need to be there
My heart no longer cries out for you, looking for a love that's true
Come on, whatcha do, hit me?
C'mon, step back, are you too blind to see
C'mon, step back, you never miss the water 'til it's gone
Never miss the
Ever miss the water
'Til the well runs dry ('til the well runs dry)
I have had enough bad love
I'm telling you goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
never miss the water
'Til the well runs dry (dry, dry)
I have had enough bad love
I'm telling you goodbye, bye-bye, bye-bye
you never miss the water until is gone
You never miss the water
You never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
You never miss the water, 'til it's gone
You never miss the water
Never 'til the well is dry
Never 'til the well is dry
Some of them lives where love has gone
Bye-bye, bye-bye
You never miss the water 'til it's gone
You never miss the water
Never 'til the well is dry (never 'til the well is dry)
You never miss the water, 'til it's gone
(Step back)
You never miss the water
My heart no longer cries out for you, thinking of a love that's true
You never miss the water
You never miss the water, 'til it's gone
You never miss the water, 'til it's gone (you never miss the water)
You never miss the water, 'til it's gone (you never miss the water)

Somethin' Deep
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
Why'd you have to take me there?
You start the fire, then you put it out
I have to depend on my imagination
I didn't want to fade what you've been puttin' down
But then you say (but then you say) the word (say the word)
Then I go under
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Making me worry
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
It's more confusing by the hour, babe
You set me free, but you don't go away
I try to think about somebody else
That's when I know I just can't help myself
So baby say the word and take me over
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Missin' music, baby, that I can't sing, baby
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Every time you go, make me worry
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
So baby say the word and take me over
Every time you go, make me worry
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
I miss you, ooh, ah, in a million ways
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep, oh, making me worry (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Deeper, now, yeah
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
Every time you go
Missing you so
Somethin' deep, ah, got me worried
Baby, come around
Missing you so
Somethin' deep
Baby come around
Missing you now
Somethin' deep (deeper, going deeper down without you baby)
Why'd you have to take me there?
You start the fire, then you put it out

Your Love Is All I Know
In my mind
I only see your face
And time will not erase
What I feel for you, feel for you
In my heart
It was always you and me
That's how I thought it would be
Forever and ever
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go
'Cause baby your love is all I know
The touch of your hand
The warmth of your embrace
I always had a place here in your arms
I felt so secure I didn't need anything more
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go
(?) Did you baby, 'cause baby your love is all I know
Tell me how
Can you walk away and find somebody new,
When I can't see myself with anyone but you
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go
'Cause baby your love is all I know
Baby, baby, baby your love is all
Baby, your love is all I know
I only see your face
And time will not erase
What I feel for you, feel for you
In my heart
It was always you and me
That's how I thought it would be
Forever and ever
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go
'Cause baby your love is all I know
The touch of your hand
The warmth of your embrace
I always had a place here in your arms
I felt so secure I didn't need anything more
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go
(?) Did you baby, 'cause baby your love is all I know
Tell me how
Can you walk away and find somebody new,
When I can't see myself with anyone but you
Where do I go
What do I do
After all that we've been through
How do I turn around
Just turn around and watch you go

Baby, baby, baby your love is all
Baby, your love is all I know

Every Little Thing
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
Busy, I'm so busy
Climbing higher, moving further every day
I gotta keep going, don't you know it
I can't let sentimental feelings in the way
But there comes a time
When you want to share your heart
Give up everything
And just lose yourself in love
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
Keep up with the Jones
If they got it then you need it right away
The grass ain't greener, you'll discover
When you're lonely it don't get better anywhere
'Cause there comes a time in my life
When I want to share my heart
Give up everything
And just lose myself in love
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
Giving you everything
About to give up everything
Giving you everything
Giving you everything
Good timing is everything
And right now I'm here for you
I'll turn the lights down baby
And lock the door for you
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
I want to make love with you tonight
Do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna do-do you wanna?
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I'll take every little thing I do
Give it up, give it all up for you
I'll take every little thing I do
Give it up, give it all up for you
I'll take every little thing I do
And give it up, give it all up for you
I mean every little thing, it's true
Give it up, give it all up for you
Busy, I'm so busy
Climbing higher, moving further every day
