WAITIN' FOR THE POSTMAN

Waitin' for a letter in the morning
But it never seems to come around
Waitin' for a letter in the morning
But it never seems to come around
Waitin' for a letter in the morning
But it never seems to come around
So the mail man's bringing around
'Cause I never walk around


WE ARE THE WORLD

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

CHORUS:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

REPEAT CHORUS:

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

REPEAT CHORUS


WE DIDN'T KNOW

Since I don't know when
We've been only friends
No more but no less
Our friendship we had at best

A voice to console
An ear to confide
That someone you tell
Your deepest of feelings inside

But we didn't know
When we held each other if would
feel so right

We didn't know
On that night we'd be falling in
love
I looked at you
You looked at me
In ways we never thought we would
be
But like tomorrow's today's mystery
We didn't know

Be it big, be it small
On you I could call
Nothing but to ask
You'd be right there in a flash

A hand I could hold
That friend I could trust
But the love that we shared
Was just platonic between us

CHORUS

That's what happens when innocent
friends
Turn serious lovers
And we're so happy that we've
fallen in love
And still can be best of friends

When they'd break your heart
And when they'd make you cry
We both would confer
You should give love one more try

We searched everwhere
For true love to find
Yet who'd think it was us
That we were longing for all the
time

Cause we didn't know
When we held each other it would
feel so right
We didn't know
On that night we'd be falling in
love
I looked at you
And you looked at me
In ways we never thought we would
be
But just like the future no one can
see
We didn't know

CHORUS


WE HAD A LOVE SO STRONG

Ooh, your eyes give off a warnin' that
That love will be no more
The feelin' I had in my hands
I let walk out the door

*Baby love, sugarpie
Can't you see
Oh, that I need your love, oh
And we had a love so strong
No, please don't say the feelin's gone

Sometimes man is blinded of all the love he has
And when the light is pushed aside
He wants that love to last

* Repeat
Oh yeah
* Repeat
Ooh
Now, if your heart is willin'
We can find a start of a whole new world together
No, we can't let our love part
* Repeat

Oh, no
Oh, now we had a love so strong
No, please don't say the feelin's gone
Don't say it's gone
Gotta have your love
Don't say it's gone
I need your love, need your love


WE'LL HAVE IT MADE

Walking through the moonlight
Till the sun gets in our eyes
Holding on for dear life
As we grab the sunrise
We'll have it made, together
We'll have it made, yeah

Every eye will follow
But none will understand
Most love is hollow
But ours has strength to stand
We'll have it made, together
We'll have it made

'Cause when we build, all our dreams come true
And ev'ryday we'll find things to do
To make this love as endless as time
Together, we will leave tears behind

Riding high on the future
We know which way to climb
We've found what's due us
And we'll get it all the time
We'll have it made, together
We'll have it made, yeah

We'll have it made
We'll have it made
We'll have it made
All right

'Cause when we build, all our dreams come true
And ev'ryday we'll find things to do
To make this love as endless as time
Together, we will leave tears behind

Riding high on the future
We know which way to climb
We've found what's due us
And we'll get it all the time
We'll have it made, together
We'll have it made, yeah

We'll have it made
We'll have it made
We'll have it made
We'll have it made

WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO (BUT THINK ABOUT YOU)

Oh, you've heard this before
And the punch line is poor
There's a funny twist
I don't know how to roam
I just find me at home
At a time like this
Since you walked out that door
I care anymore
Girl, I barely exsist

Ooh baby, what else is there to do
But sit here and think about you, oh no
What else is there to do
But sit here and think about you

People say that you worry
You'll be home in a hurry
To comfort me
But it's not my composure
It's the certain exposure
That's worrying me

Ooh baby, what else is there to do
But sit here and think about you
Your love with me and you
What else is there for me to do
But sit here and think about you

If you could check my will power
At this very hour
Girl, I think you'd find it was pretty low
And just sit here and brood
And I don't mean to be rude
But it's true, girl, I think you'll find it's so

Ooh baby, what else is there to do
But sit here and think about you

Oh, you think I should date
And not anticipate your sweet return
But I must follow my mind
And the tears of the blind
Where you're concerned

Ooh baby, what else is there to do
But sit here and think about you
Ooh baby, what else is there to do
But sit here and think about you
Don't wanna talk to neighbors or hear from friends
What else is there to do
But sit here and think about you
Ain't gonna answer my phone, wanna be left alone
What else is there for me to do
But sit here and think about you


WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE DOING?

What's that your're doing?
Girl I like what you do to me
What's that you're doing?
'cos it makes no kind of sense to me

You can make me feel so proud
You can make me holler ow!
Girl you make me want to dance and sing
My mind is blown and you're the blame
I say it's sunnin' when there's rain
I jump by leaps and bounds, just call my name

What's that your're saying?
Girl I like the way you talk to me
What's that you're saying?
Even if it's wrong girl I do agree

Girl you make me feel so small
Though I might stand six feet tall
What you've got cuts me right down to size
I'll be the last, you'll be the first
I'll do my best to quench your thirst
I'm the luchy one who keeps the prize

Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
Girl I like what you
Do to me, do to me
Do it some more
Do to me, do to me
Do it some more

What's that your're doing?
Girl I like what you do to me
What's that you're doing?
'cos it makes no kind of sense to me

You can fill my appetite
Without me taking up a bite
Never knew that love could fill you up
You're much too good for me to pass
I'm for the taking, you just ask
We can make it stick with love and luck

Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
Girl I like what you
Do to me, do to me
Do it some more
You know I like what you're doing
Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more

What's that I'm feeling
That sensation's such a mystery
I know that it's thrilling
And I hope this feeling lasts eternally

Girl you make me scream and shout
Tell me what it's all about
You make me give in without a fight
I don't have no words to say
You can fill it anyway
And everything you do will turn out alright

Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
Girl I like what you're doing
Baby do it some more
She loves you yeah yeah yeah
She loves you yeah yeah yeah yeah

AD LIB TO FADE


WHEN YOUR DADDY'S NOT AROUND

When your daddy's not around
Don't you feel safe
When your daddy is not around
When your daddy is not around
Don't you feel safe
When your daddy is not around

O.K. that's enough, don't get sarcastic with your daddy
Go on upstairs, upstairs, go and get your as upstairs

Not around, around, around
I'm not around
'Cause I'm busy on the town
I've got to make my rounds
So your daddy's gone


WHY I FEEL THIS WAY

When I feel a summer breeze
And I hear it as it whispers through the trees
Well it causes my heart to fly
Gliding like an eagle through the sky
And I know Your love is why I feel this way

Just behold a newborn child
If devoid of Your love I would never see that smile
On this miracle holiday
I am overwhelmed with Your display
And I know Your love is why I feel this way

Beauty in this world
Often hard to see
Found in little things
Close to you and me
When I let this love into my heart
With a new point of view I can start
By Your love I can see the way
things were meant to be

*With Your love and by Your will
I am forever warm within my
heart through winter's chill
And when snow falls from the sky
Crystal images of love go by
And I know Your love is why I feel this way
And I know Your love is why I feel this way

Close to you and me
When I let this love into my heart
With a new point of view I can start
By Your love I can see the way
things were meant to be

(*Repeat)


WHERE ARE YOU NOW

Where are you love, with all my dreams?
Where are the things that we once believed?
I thought we would stay together
Where are you now that I'm so lost inside?
Where are you now that you left my love behind?

Where are the lips, drippin' with love?
Your kiss was sent straight from heaven above!
I thought you would leave me never
Where are the arms that used to hold me tight?
Where are you now that you left my love behind?

Where are you girl, with all my love?

Where are my dreams?
Broken in two
I never knew that would come from you
I thought you'd be mine forever love
Where are you now that all I can do is cry
Where are you now that you left my love behind?
Where are you now that you left my love behind

Where are you girl, with all my love?
Where are you girl, with all my love?
(fade)


WITH A TOUCH

When people question
How did our love get started
I always tell them
It's very clear to see
If you have it in your heart
Then within you you hold the key
For answering the very question
That you're asking me

*With a touch of my love
And with a touch of your love
A touch of our love

When people say that time
Will take with it our feelings
My only answer to them
Is that we will see
For when two hearts beat as one
In love for eternity
Know yourself exactly
What the outcome's gonna be

(Repeat* and fade)
