The Rose

Performed by Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it’s only seed.
It’s the heart, afraid of breaking, that [...]

You Make Me Feel Brand New

Recorded by The Stylistics
My love, I’ll never find the words my love
To tell you how I feel my love
Mere words, could not explain
Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you, came when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This [...]

You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me

Dusty Springfield
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn’t me who changed but you
And now you’ve gone away
Don’t you see that now you’ve gone
And I’m left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
You don’t have to say you love me
Just be close at [...]

You Are My Song

(Louie Ocampo & Martin Nievera)
Recorded by Martin Nievera
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
You’ll be with me someday
I know down inside
You are my and I’m your true love
Or am I dreaming…
How can I
Each time I try to say goodbye
You [...]

Yesterday When I Was Young

Music & original French lyrics by: Charles Asnavour
English lyrics by: Herbert Kretzmer
Recorded by: Roy Clark (1965)
Yesterday when I was young
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid [...]

Wonderful Tonight

Recorded by: Eric Clapton
It’s late in the evening,
she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me,
“Do I look all right?”
And I say,
“Yes, you look wonderful tonight”
We go a party
and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
that’s walking around with me
And then she asks me,
“Do [...]

Wildflower

She’s faced the hardest times
You could imagine
And many times her eyes
Fought back the tears
And when her youthful world
Was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And the song that no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence
In her ears
Let her cry
For she’s a lady
Let her dream
For she’s a child
Let the [...]

Where Do Broken Hearts Go

Recorded by Whitney Houston
I know it’s been some time
But there’s something on my mind
You see, I haven’t been the same
Since that cold November day…
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately…
So here I am
And can you please tell me… oh
Chorus:
Where do [...]

What Matters Most

Recorded by Kenny Rankin (1980)
It’s not how long we held each other’s hand
What matters is how well we love each other
It’s not how far we’ve traveled on our way
But what we found to say
It’s not the spring we’ve seen
But all the shades of green.
It’s not how long I held you in my arms
What matters is [...]

We’re All Alone

Recorded by Boz Scaggs (1976)
Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more… forever more
Close your eyes my dear
And you can be with me
‘Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We’re all alone… we’re all alone
Close the window, calm the [...]
