Motown Legends: Michael Jackson

[intro]
(we've got forever, forever)

[verse 1]
I'll plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dreams that we're dreaming
Have time to come true

[chorus]
'cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

[bridge]
We shall have music
We shal have rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time

[verse 2]
Then we'll add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
The cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be me and you

[chorus]
'cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few
<ad lib to fade>

Maria hey hey maria
Maria don't you hear me calling maria
Maria girl you know you were the only one
Hey hey maria
Maria don't you miss me just a little
Maria after all you were the only one
Come on back to me maria

Hey hey maria

Maria 'cause honest girl you were the only one
Come on back to me maria

What's my life without you girl
I'm so lonely i'm so blue
Without you darling my life is through
Come on back

When you're down and trubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin', no nothin' is goin' right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon i'll be there to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again
Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah i will
You've got a freind

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
He begins to blow
Here's what you do baby
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door
Oh yes i will, yes i will
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again

Chorus

Ain't it good to know
That you've got a freind
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't let them

Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yes i will

You've got a freind, yes you do
You've got a freind, yes you do
Right till the end, for you
Ain't it good to know

Got to be there, got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl
Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment i know she loves me
'cause when i look in her eyes i realize
I need her sharing her world beside me

So i've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she is my girl
When she says, "hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me

That's why i've got to be there
Got to be there where love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home

Got to be there
Got to be there

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on jaybird street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Chorus :
Rockin' robin, rock rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go

Chorus

Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bob and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriol

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on jaybird street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Chorus

Can it be i stayed away too long
Did i leave your mind when i was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where i'm at
You don't have to worry 'cause i'm coming
Back to where i should have always stayed
And now i've heard the maybe to your story
And it's enough love for me to stay

Can it be i stayed away too long
Did i leave your mind when i was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where i'm at

Chorus:
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Everywhere you are

Bridge:
Please don't close the door to our future
There's so many things we haven't tried
I could love you better than i used to
And give you all the love i have inside

Chorus:
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Any, any, anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are
