AGAIN
Janet Jackson


I heard from a friend today and she said you were in town.
Suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind.
How can I be strong I've asked myself, time and time I've said.
That I'll never fall in love with you again.

A wounded heart you gave, my soul you take away.
Good intentions you had many, I know you did.
I come from a place that hurts and God knows how I've cried.
And I never want to return, never fall again.

Making love to you never felt so good and oh so right
How can I be strong I've asked myself, time and time I've said.
That I'll never fall in love with you again.

So here we are alone again, didn't think it'd come to this.
And to think it all began with just a little kiss.
I've come too close to happiness, to have it swept away.
Don't think I can take the pain, never fall again.

Kinda late in the game and my heart is in your hands.
Don't you stand there and then tell me you love me, then leave
again.
Cause I've fallen in love with you again.

Hold me, hold me.
Never let me go.
Say it just one time,
Say you love me.
God knows I do, love you, again.

ALMOST OVER YOU
Sheena Easton

I saw an old friend of ours today,
She asked about you,
I didn't quite know what to say;
Heard you've been makin' the rounds 'round here
While I've been tryin' to make tears disappear.

CHORUS:
Now I'm almost over you,
I've almost shook these blues;
So when you come back around
After paintin' the town
You'll see I'm almost over you.

You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart,
Maybe leavin' came easy but it tore me apart;
Time heals all wounds they say and I should know
'Cause it seems like forever but I'm lettin' you go.

CHORUS:
Now I'm almost over you,
I've almost shook these blues;
So when you come back around
After paintin' the town
You'll see I'm almost over you.

I can forgive you and soon I'll forget
All my shattered dreams;
Although you left me with nothing to show
All of misery.

CHORUS:
Now I'm almost over you,
I've almost shook these blues;
So when you come back around
After paintin' the town
You'll see I'm almost over you.

When you come back around
After paintin' the town
You'll see I'm almost over you

BREAK IT TO ME GENTLY
Angela Bofill

Did you think that your smile
Could hide what's on your mind?
No matter how I tried
I just couldn't be so blind
We've been close but people grow,
And they sometimes grow apart
There's just one thing I ask you
If you've had a change of heart...

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

I'm not ashamed to admit
I really hurt inside
After all these are my feelings,
Why should I make them hide?
But I won't hold you back,
There'll be no pulling on your sleeve
Just let me down easy,
And go softly when you leave...

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

You always knew that you had my heart
It's still yours, if you wanna take it
But when you go, as I know you must,
Be gentle with your breaking

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Trust me and my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye,
Goodbye

BLUER THAN BLUE
Michael Johnson

After you go, I can catch up on my reading
After you go, I have a lot more time sleeping
And when you're gone
Looks like things are gonna be a lot easier
Life will be a breeze, you know
I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

After you go, I have a lot more room in my closet
After you go, I stay out all night long
If I feel like it
And when you're gone
I can run through the house screamin'
And no one will ever hear me
I really should be glad

And I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than...

I don't have to miss no TV show
I can start my whole life over
Change the numbers on my telephone
But the nights would sure be colder

And I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad
You're the only light
This empty room has ever had
Life without you is gonna be
Bluer than blue

Bluer than blue
Bluer than blue

END OF THE ROAD
Boyz II Men

(talking)
Girl you know we belong together
I don't have time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby
You just wait

We belong together
And you know that I am right
Why do you play with my heart
Why do you play with my mind
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never
Say goodbye

When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head
Oh, I'd rather be dead
Spinning around and around

(chorus 2x)
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong to me
I belong to you

Girl, I know you really love me
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only
Your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever
You and I

Will you love me again
Like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead
Just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go

chorus(talking, except things in parentheses)
Girl, I'm here for you
All those time as night
When you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love
Do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not about to go out on cheat you
(Maybe I'll forgive you)
Just like you did
But baby that's alright I love you anyway
(Maybe you will try)
And I'm still going to be here with you until my dying day
(We should be happy together forever)
Right now
I'm just in so much pain
Cuz you just won't come back to me
(You and I)
Will you?
Just come back
(Lonely)
Yes baby, my heart is lonely
(Lonely)
My heart hurts
(Lonely)
Yes, I feel pain too
Baby please

(back to singing)
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me go

HEAVEN KNOWS
Rick Price


She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
Till I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holdin' on

So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shakin' inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
Dionne Warwick

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my make up
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you forever and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you forever and ever
We never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you would only mean heartbreak for me

My darling believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Say you love me too

IF I BELIEVED
Patti Austin

If I believed in paradise,
I'd swear I must be there
I'd swear I must be there right now with you
If I believed in miracles,
I'd know that one was happening to me
But if I don't believe in paradise,
And miracles aren't real
Then someone tell me what is this I feel
I wanna believe in love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I can't deny

If I believed in paradise,
I'd swear I'm there
If I believed in magic spells,
It all would be so clear
A magic spell must have brought you here
If I could see the future,
I'd see if you and I were meant to be
But I don't know any magic,
And tomorrow's just a dream
But something in this fantasy is real
I wanna believe in love this time
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
I wanna believe it's love
I wanna believe my heart's not telling me a lie
But with you I can't deny
If I believed in paradise, I'd swear I'm there
I'm there...I'm there
If I believed

LATELY
Stevie Wonder

Lately I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought fo losin' you's been hanging
'Round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With, you say, no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know

REFRAIN:
Well I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause the time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Tryin' to talk myself I had no reason
With your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping
You just say, nothing's changed

REFRAIN:
Oh I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause the time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide
'Cause they always start to cry
'Cause this time could mean goodbye

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE
Melissa Manchester

Please don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am, everything I want to be
I can see what's mine now, finding out what's true
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

Now I can take the time, I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you, I can feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

And now I do believe that even in the storm
We'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm all right!

Please don't let this feeling end
It might not come again and I want to remember
How it feels to touch you, how I feel so much
Since I found you
Looking through the eyes of love

ONE HELLO
Randy Crawford

If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Of beautiful things
It's a chance you take
A chance you're in
If someone's gonna find you
First you've got to let them in

'Cause love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might win it all
Or lose your heart

If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try to keep it simple
But try and keep it real
And if bein' real
Means that someday you'd say goodbye
Remember my friends
Good-bye's not the end
It's a circle you know
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friends
Good-bye's not the end
It's a circle you know
And it starts
It starts with one hello

It starts with one hello
Mmm...

ONE LAST CRY
Brian Mcknight

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

CHORUS:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind, this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to one last cry

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you,
I need some love to rain on me
Still, I sit all alone,
Wishing all my feelings were gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

CHORUS:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind, this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to one last cry

I know I gotta be strong,
But 'round me
Life goes on and on and on, and on

I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I have my one last cry

CHORUS:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind, this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down to one last cry

SOMEONE THAT I USED TO LOVE
Natalie Cole

When I wake up each morning
Trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on
You're only someone
That I used to love

As for me, it's getting down
To the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease
The pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care
If I have to lose your love?
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love

REFRAIN:
Wish it was enough for you
All the love I had to give
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know
How much I tried, I really tried

And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won't find me
Being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give
But you just refused my love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love

I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know
How much I tried, I really tried

When I wake up each morning
Trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
Tonight you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
Hoo, from now on you're only someone
That I used to love

STARS
Simply Red

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

STAY
Lisa Loeb & The Nine Stories

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.

And I thought what I felt was simple,
And I thought that I don't belong,
And now that I am leaving,
Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.

And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: "no, no, no."

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
And this woman was singing my song:
"The lover's in love, and the other's run away,
The lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay."

Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
Dying since the day they were born.
Well, this is not that:
I think that I'm throwing but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.

You try to tell me that I'm clever,
But that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive,
And I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey I can leave, I can leave."
But now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.

You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let
you go."
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know
You're just scared to lose.
And you say, "Stay."

You say I only hear what I want to

THIS TIME I'LL BE SWEETER
Angela Bofill

Darlin', can't you see
What losin' you has done to me?
I'm not the same girl I used to be

Have a change of heart,
Don't leave me standin' in the dark
Don't let confusion keep us apart

REFRAIN:
Come back to me,
And I'll guarantee
All the tenderness and love you'll ever need

CHORUS:
This time I'll be sweeter,
Our love will run deeper;
I won't mess around,
I won't let you down,
Have faith in me (umm hmm)
Have faith in me

Since you've been away,
I haven't seen the light of day;
I'm lost without you,
Can't find my way

So won't you please be fair,
And let me show how much I care,
Say you'll be mine
And answer my pray'r

REFRAIN:
Come back to me,
And I promise I'll be
Ev'rything that's bright and new,
Your whole life through

CHORUS:
This time I'll be sweeter,
Our love will run deeper;
I won't mess around,
I won't let you down,
Have faith in me (umm hmm)
Have faith in me

WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL
Alison Krauss

It's amazing how you can speak right through my heart
Without sayin' a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
But I hear when you don't say a thing

CHORUS:
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talkin' 'bout loud(?)
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

CHORUS:
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

TELL ME
Joey Albert

There are nights when I can't help but cry,
And I wonder why you had to leave me

Why did it have to end so soon?
When you said that you would never leave me

CHORUS:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely?
When I thought this love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have,
I'll let it go with your goodbye.

Why did it have to end so soon?
When you said that you would never leave me

CHORUS:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely?
When I thought this love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have,
I'll let it go with your goodbye.

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY (DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO)
Ric Segreto

I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
You'll feel this feelin' I have inside

You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Falling in and out of love just like a play
Memorizin' each line
I still don't know what to say
What to say

Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly

Every minute, every second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way
You're beside me all the time
All the time

I have loved you and I always will
Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
This feelin' I have for you inside

I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
Memorized all the lines and here I am
Struggling for words
I still don't know what to say
What to say

Don't know what to do
Whenever you are near
Don't know what to say
My heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly

All the time...
All the time...

FRIEND OF MINE
Lea Salonga

I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
And babe is this all we ever could be?

You tell me things I've never known
I shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I've never known
I shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad

But then again...
Then again...
Then again I'm glad...

LET THE PAIN REMAIN
Basil Valdez

Love comes, love goes,
But a sudden feeling never lets me be
Somehow I know
Quite a part of me isn't changed
Since you've been gone

Like a sturdy tree
That's seen a thousand seasons,
I've to shed my leaves in winter
To grow them back in spring
To welcome life again
To welcome you

So goes my life;
Still believe in dreams of having you around
Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me
To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel

Chorus:
So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
To be with you again

Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be

So I ask myself what you have left behind for me
To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real
But all the pain that I feel

Chorus:
So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
To be with you again

So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
(If that's the only way)
If there's no other way
To be with you again

So let the pain remain forever in my heart
For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
(If that's the only way)
If there's no other way
To be with you again

YOU ARE MY SONG
Regine Velasquez


You are the song
Playing so softly in my heart
I reach for you
You seem so near yet so far
I hope and I pray
That you'll be with me someday

Refrain I:
I know down inside you are mine
And I'm your true love
Or am I dreaming?

Chorus:
How can I?
Each time you try to say goodbye
You are there
You look my way, I touch the sky
We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I'll be there to love you so
You are my song
You are my song

I know for sure
That we were meant to fall in love
I look in your eyes
I know what you're thinkin' of
I try not to say the words
That might scare you away

Refrain II:
'Coz I know down inside you are mine
And I'm your true love
Please no more dreaming

Chorus:
How can I?
Each time you try to say goodbye
You are there
You look my way, I touch the sky
We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I'll be there to love you so

... You are my song

We can share tomorrow and forevermore
I'll be there to love you so

... You are my song
