1. _ To Make Me Who I Am
(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter)
I've walked through this world sometimes without a friend
My life has been up and down, been close to an end
But i've been through the mill
And i've paid my dues
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
But i've been through the fire
And i've walked in the rain
I've felt the joy and endured the pain
Once i was a schemer
But i always was a dreamer
But it took me who i was and where i've been
To make me who i am
I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell
Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell
I've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls
Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to god
Some days i was blessed, some nights i was damned
But i always tried to lend a helping hand
Once i was a deceiver
Not i am a believer
But it took me who i was and where i've been
To make me who i am
Oh, i've seen the little children, all strung out on dope
No one to care about them, living without hope
But i've been lucky that i always had a song
I'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong.
Once my life was wretched
But why should i regret it
Cuz, it took me who i was, and where i've been
To make me who i am
Speech:
This is dedicated to my friends in jail
For my brother jake who had to ride the rail
For my friend roonie and melvin, who were so dear
They were so misunderstood
But i wish they were still here
To hear this song i sing from my heart
They're forever in my soul, even though we had to part
Once i was a deceiver
Not i am a believer
But it took me who i was and where i've been
To make me who i am
God said i forgive you
Wipe away the scars
Cause i know it took who you were
And where you came from
To make you who you are
Cause i know it took who you were
And where you came from
To make you what you are

(marc nelson, darrell spencer)
I'm changing my mind,
Never gonna learn about how to feel again

And i just can't hide, i love you still.

Saying you'll be right here my baby,

3. _ Your Sweet And Smiling Eyes
(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter)
Looking in your eyes
Is like looking through a window seeing clear skies of days gone by
Of happiness, imaginning sweet visions of your loveliness
Oh and your tenderness
Makes me want to cry, for the love that we've shared
It makes me feel alive to know that you care
Hold you through the night, let me lie in your arms
Tonight i want to love you girl til the morning comes and look into your eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes
Take me to paradise
It makes me want to cry tears of joy
Whenever i see your sweet and smiling eyes
When i see your face, oh and you hold me in your warm embrace
I feel so safe
Your amazing grace calms me through the fire
Or the rainy days and the clouds it brings
Makes me want to cry, for the love that we've shared
It makes me feel alive to know that you care
Hold you through the night let me lie in your arms
Tonight i want to love you girl 'til the morning comes
And look into your eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes, hold me darling
Take me to paradise
Your an angel, it makes me want to cry
Tears of joy whenever i see your sweet and smiling eyes
Could you be an angel from up above, from up above
So beautiful, beautiful, wonderful
Sent down from heaven for me to love
Oh i love you girl
Your sweet smiling eyes,
Your sweet and smiling eyes
Take me to paradise
It makes me want to cry
Tears of joy whenever i see your sweet and smiling eyes,
Sweet and smiling eyes
Your sweet and smiling eyes, your sweet and smiling eyes
Sweet and smiling eyes, take me to paradise, paradise
It makes me want to cry, tears of joy
Whenever i see your sweet and smiling eyes

4. _ I Can't Change The Way You Don't Feel
I can't (diane warren)
I believed i could see a day you would want me, like i want you
You would need me, like i need you to
There was a moment i thought time might change your mind
And there'd be a place there for me in your life
But i can't change the way you don't feel
And i can't make you see what you're heart won't see
And i can't make you need what you say you don't need
I can't change you baby, i can't change the way you don't feel
And now as i walk away, i won't look back, i won't break down
What i was living for, i'll have to live without
There will be moments i'll think how it might have been
But baby now this is how it must end
Cause i can't change the way you don't feel
And i can't make you see what you're heart won't see
And i can't make you need what you say you don't need
I can't change you baby, i can't change the way you don't feel
No, i can't change the way you don't feel
And i can't make you see what you're heart won't see
And i can't make you need what you say you don't need
I can't change you baby
You never gonna change you baby, no
I can't change you baby, i can't change the way you don't feel

5. _ Say What's In My Heart
(babyface & diane warren)
My eyes can't lie to you
My kiss my kiss can only tell you true now
You say you have your doubts
But i say i don't know what that talks about now
My world, i have given you
I never gave myself the way i gave myself to you
What have i gotta do to make you believe i love you
What have i gotta say to make you believe you're the one for me
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true, that i could only love you
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart
When i say i love you, i say what's in my heart
There is no other love
I know that god knows you're the only one so
Why can't you believe when i tell you there ain't nobody
There ain't nobody but you in my heart
Long as we've been together
You should know by now the love i feel, i feel forever
What have i gotta do to make you believe i love you
What have i gotta say to make you believe you're the one for me,
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart
Didn't my heart tell you true, that i could only love you
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart
When i say i love you i say what's in my heart
I'll never walk away, i'll never leave your side,
I'll never break your heart looking in someone else's eyes
Your the one i need, the air that i breathe
I won't live one day without you, believe me
Didn't you hold me last night,
Didn't you look in my eyes,
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart,
Didn't my heart tell you true, that i could only love you
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart
When i say i love you i say what's in my heart
Didn't you hold me last night,
Didn't you look in my eyes,
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart,
Didn't my heart tell you true, that i could only love you
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart,
Didn't you hold me last night
Didn't you look in my eyes
Didn't i, didn't i say what's in my heart

6. _ God Made You For Me
(aaron neville, bradley spalter, emanuel officer)
It must have taken a long long time to make a woman like you
Ooh baby, cause you're so, so fine
He took the stars from the sky, put the sparkle in your eye
Baby, don't you know, you're my only desire
When i enter the room, i smell your perfume
The taste of your lips is like the nectar from the gods
And the sunlight on your hair, is just like spun gold
After god made you, he broke the mold
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all i need is you
You're everything to me, and my lifes complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, i'm gonna bow to your feet
To describe how your body feels when you're next to me
Like rockin' and rollin' on a stormy, stormy sea
You bring me up, oh and then you take me down,
Then you take me to heaven and back down to the ground
You're just like a rose, blooming in the spring
You're everything a man could want
Everything a man could need
And at night i fall down, on my knees
And thank god for sending an angel, just to love me
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all i need is you
You're everything to me, and my lifes complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, i'm gonna bow to your feet
Girl, let me touch you, make sure it's not a dream
If it is please don't awake me, it would be so so mean
The thought of ever losing you is more than i could bear
It just wouldn't be heaven no more if you were not there
God made you for me, you're my dream come true
I don't want another woman, all i need is you
You're everything to me, and my lifes complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, i'm gonna bow to your feet
God made you for me (i thank god)
You're my dream come true (from high up above)
And i don't want another woman (for sending you to me)
All i need is you (for me to love)
You're everything to me, and my lifes complete
I'm gonna worship and adore you, i'm gonna bow to your feet
Cause i love you girl, oh i love you girl
All i need is you
You're everything to me
And my lifes complete

7. _ What Did I Do (to Deserve You)
(james dean hicks, andy goldmark, jamie houston)
Unbelievable describes your smile so sweet
Inconceivable that you're a part of me
Innocent look in your eyes
Love without compromise for me
It's a mystery
What did i do to deserve you
Only god's hands could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that i , i would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did i do to deserve you
Oh yeah
Unconventional, describes my love for you
Unconditional, cause there's nothing i won't do
I pray as this feeling grows
That you always touch the heart and soul of me
It's a mystery
What did i do to deserve you
Only god's hand could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that i , i would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did i do to deserve you
I've waited all my life to hold such a treasure
What is this feeling worth, there is no measure
Tell me what can i do
What did i do to deserve you
Only god's hand could have made you
And brought this dream to life
Always swore that i'd , i would never fall
I guess miracles happen after all
What did i do to deserve you
To deserve you

8. _ Lovely Lady Dressed In Blue
(aaron neville)
Lovely lady, dressed in blue, teach me how to pray
Cause god was just your little boy, and you know the way
Did you lift him up sometimes, gently on your knee
Did you tell him stories of the world, like mother did to me
And when he fell, did you lift him up, and make everything alright
And did you tell him his prayers at night
I wanna know my lovely lady, lovely lady, dressed, dressed in blue
Oh, god was just your little boy, your little boy and you know the truth
And did you whisper in his ear sweet lullabyes,
I wanna know, i wanna know, i wanna know, did he cry
Lovely lady, dressed in blue, oh won't you please teach me how to pray
Cause god was just your little boy, and
I wanna know, i wanna know, i wanna know, so teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray

9. _ Please Remember Me
(rodney crowell, will jennings)
When all our tears have reached the sea,
A part of you will live in me,
Way down inside my heart.
The days keep coming without fail,
A new winds gonna find your sail,
And that's where your journey starts,
You'll find better love,
Strong as it ever was,
Deep as a river runs,
Warm as the morning sun.
Please remember me.
Just like the waves down by the shore,
We're gonna keep on coming back for more,
Cause we don't ever wanna stop.
Out in this brave new world you see,
Only the valleys and the peaks,
I can see you on the top,
You'll find better love,
Strong as it ever was,
Deep as a river runs,
Warm as the morning sun.
Please remember me.
Remember me when you're out walking,
When snow falls high outside your door,
Late at night when you're not sleeping,
And moonlight falls across your floor.
When i can't hurt you anymore,
You'll find better love,
Strong as it ever was,
Deep as a river runs,
Warm as the morning sun.
Please remember me.
Please remember me.

10. _ The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
(duet with linda ronstadt)
(ewan maccoll)
The first time ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky, my love,
And the first time ever i kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move in my hand,
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love,
And the first time ever i lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And i knew our joy it would fill the earth
And would last til the end of time, my love,
It would last til the end of time
The first time ever i saw, saw your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face

12. _ Sweet Amelia
(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter)
Oh amelia, oh amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on barron street, down in new orleans
So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and amelia was her name
Oh when i took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when i looked into her eye, amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my heart she fell, oh i got pulled into her spell
I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair
Oh amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman
I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime i close my eyes
Sweet amelia, sweet amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never heard her say goodbye
I remember making love underneath the stars above
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand
I was weak as a little lamb, but i became a man
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake poncetrain
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair
Oh amelia, oh amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes
Sweet amelia, sweet amelia
Where did you run to, where'd you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never want to say goodbye
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
But i'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
And in my heart she'll always shine so bright
Sweet amelia, if i could just see her one more time
Oh amelia, my southern woman
A southern woman,
I can still feel you, oh i can feel you, everytime i close my eyes, close my eyes
Sweet amelia, sweet amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye)
Oh amelia, oh amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes
Sweet amelia, sweet amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh amelia, a southern woman,
A southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart
Sweet amelia, sweet amelia,
Where did you run to
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
