Don't give up, you're not alone
Though you're weak and chilled to the bone
I will shore the pain that you're going through
If there's one set of footsteps i'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

If you're losing faith, i'll understand
Don't be afraid i'm holding your hand
If you trust in me then i will be true
If there's one set of footsteps i'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

Then i'm gonna walk on, walk on
I'm gonna walk on 'till the hurt is gone
Walk on, walk on
I'm gonna keep going, gonna carry on
Walk on, walk on
I'm gonna walk on
I'm gonna walk on

Don't give up, you're not alone
Gotta try to be strong, you've got to move on
Just hold on tight and you'll make it through
If there's one set of footsteps i'll be carrying you

If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps
If there's one
One set of footsteps in the sand
One set of footsteps

Walk on, walk on
Walk on, walk on

I'm gonna walk on 'till it's gone

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/t. gomwells)

I look at the sky to where my future's lying
And i almost start to cry
Blinded by the sun i'm trying to hold onto
The very last of precious time

Then i start to thinking what a mess we're making
And it won't get better by & by
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus:
We cannot overstep
We cannot overstep the
We cannot overstep the line

So many baby's arms with nothing to hold onto
But just a precious flake of life
You think you care about them
They think you care about them
But thinking's only wasting time

If we really want to say the things we want to
It takes a bigger man to try
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus

Well politicians sit and pretend they give a shit while
Little men go out to die
The only arms they're hugging are the ones they're running
Later to be justified

I say i don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can paint it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus

Say i don't mind
You say you don't mind
But what about the babies and what about the sunshine
Well we can point it up and make it pretty but
We cannot overstep the line

Chorus

(taura stinson/ craiyge lindesay)

I come home from work and have a glass of wine
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well it's way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?

See i was fallin' asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until i smelt perfume, the kind i do not wear
My baby's been messin' around again

Chorus:
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what i do to you
Baby i'm leavin' i'm leavin' i'm leavin'
Leavin' you
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what i do to you
Baby i'm leavin' i'm leavin' i'm leavin'
Leavin' you

How could i be so dumb? i thought i loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
And now i understand
But i can't baby sit no more, it

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/m.c. rooney/m. morales)

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'cos they don't see me kissing you no more

My sky has fallen down through the floor
I go to sleep with no-one to hold
In bed when you were near me
I didn't really feel the cold at all

Chorus:
I'm picking up the pieces now
Know i'm gonna get through somehow so
Don't cry for me
I've gotta make it on my own
Learn to be alone
Ooh baby
Don't cry for me

I feel like there's a hole in my heart
I've gotta fill it up and make a new start
I can't sit here forever
Although it seems i'll never ever get that far

I'm gonna get outside and make some new friends
And put me back together again
It's no use feeling lonely
When i know i'm not the only one who feels like this

Chorus

It's hard baby it's hard
But i'm trying
Trying my best to make it through
I know deep in my heart when i'm crying
I'm trying to forgive you

The birds don't sing the same any more
They always sounded happy before
But now there's something missing
'cos they don't see me kissing you no more

Chorus

(j. mtume/r. lucas)

Sure you do
(you know how to make it right)
So nice
(you know how to love me
There's no denying
(sweet as morning light)

Sooner or later
I knew you'd come my way
You're welcome to my love
Just promise that you'll stay

Chorus:
You know how to love me...right
In a special way
You know how to love me...tonight
And i wanna say
You know how to love me
You're the real that i feel never go away

Seeing's believin'
Don't you know you're a dream come true
Ain't nothin' deceivin''bout the way that i'm lovin' you

(you know how to love me) you know, you know
(you know how to make it right)
I can feel it
(you know how to love me)
No doubt about it
(sweet as morning light)

Nothing's forever
That's what people say
But each time that we're together
Forever and a day


Chorus

(l. stansfield/i. devaney)

Spoken:
Sometimes people make mistakes
They play the game, play hard to get
Then it all goes wrong and they end up being lonely
I'm one of those people

Got me missing you
You've got me missing you

At the time it seemed ok
Nothing too serious i said
Just two people having fun
Or so i thought

At the time i was playing it cool
I had it all under control
But then i broke the golden rule
I went and said you'd never have me
But baby you've got me...

Chorus:
Missing you
Every day every night
You've got me missing you
Without you this ain't a life
Got me missing you
And baby try as i might
Just can't stop this pain inside

If i could do it all again
I'd say the things i truly meant
'cos now you're gone i've gone insane
Funny how i always said you'd never have me
But baby you've got me...

Chorus

I stay up late at night 'cos
I've been sleeping light
I've made a full-time job of going out of my mind
Can't see one good reason
I should live my life without you
Without you

Chorus

(barry white)

Spoken:
Oh baby, you know i've waited, waited so long
To sing...to sing this song

Whatever, whatever, babe i'll do it
Forever and ever, yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll see you through it

I've got to keep you pleased in every way i can
Gonna give you all of me, as much or you can stand
Make love to you right now, that's all i want to do
I know you need it boy and you know
I need it too, cause

I've found what the world is searchin' for
Here, right here my dear i don't have to look no more
And all of my days i hoped and i prayed
For someone just like you to makes me feel the way you do

Chorus:
Never never gonna give you up,
I'm never ever gonna stop
Not the way i feel about you babe
I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit 'cause quiting just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna lay right here with you and do all the
Things you want me to

Whatever you want, boy you got it
And whatever you need
I don't want to see you without it

You've given me much more than words could ever say
Oh my dear i'ii be right here until my dying day
I don't know just how to say all the things i feel
I just know that i love you so and it gives me
Such a thrill 'cause

I've found what the world is lookin' for
Here, right here my dear i don't have to search no more
And all of my days i hoped and i prayed
For someone just like you to makes me feel the way you do

Chorus x 2

(d. warren)

Yesterday thought my world was over
Yesterday when you said good-bye
Thought i'd spend my whole life just crying
Hurting inside
Oh but you know that...

I decided to pull my heart together
And chase your face from my mind
From this day on all the hurt is gone
I'll be fine

Chorus:
I cried my last tear last night baby
And i'm not gonna cry,
Never never gonna cry
I'm not gonna cry no more
I cried my last tear last night baby
And one thing it true
Won't be crying over you
Never again

I remember the pain you caused me
I remember the nights i cried
Now i'm gonna forget you baby
Push you right out of my mind
Oh don't you know that...

I decided to find same better weather
And chase that rain right out of my sky
I'm all through being sad and blue
Tell you why...

Chorus

If you think i'll be broken hearted
Think it's time that you think again
'cos this time i won't sit here waiting
Waiting here for the tears to end
Baby i refuse to be blue one more minute over you

And one thing is true
Won't be crying over you

Chorus

If you think i'll be broken hearted
Think it's time that you think again
'cos this time i won't sit here waiting
Waiting here for the tear, to end
Baby i refuse to be blue one more minute over you

And one thing is true
Won't be crying over you

Chorus
