Natalie Cole Album

Written by cole-yancy-allen

Everyday the population is growing and to find some peace of mind is something rare

Don't you get discouraged keep on going and don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare

Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty and tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good

Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy, aw yes it is, but if you're a special child

They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood, (you can never look back)

Yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today

Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins, hold your breath stick out your chin

Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody

But they can't seem to see the forest for the trees, we just can't let our past

Hold back our future, oh, no, no, when it's all over but the shouting

Nothing is left but memories, looks like you could use a little bit of happiness

Now I know that it's really hard to find, but you owe it to yourself to have the very best

And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind, (you can never look back)

No, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone, (don't you look back) your tomorrow is here today


And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to

It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat, start again

And keep a positive direction, oh, keep your vision straight ahead

You can't lose with the stuff you use, we've come too far just to turn around, oh, oh,

Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone (don't you look back)

Your tomorrow is on the way and if you're fighting, people, a quitter never wins

Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten, start again, don't you look back

No, no, uh, oh, (don't look back) no 'cause we've come much too far

Just to turn around, uh, oh, oh, (repeat don't you look back) don't you look back now

Yesterday is dead and gone, don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today

And when you're crying, 'cause all your friends have forsaken you

Its not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat start again

Keep on steppin' yaul, don't look back, don't turn your head around

Get up, get out on the good foot, keep on fightin,' yeah, hold your breath

Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again don't try it

You got to keep on movin' yaul, get, get, get up on the good foot

(Written by Natalie Cole and Marvin Yancy)

Hm, hm

Hm, hm, hm, hm

Just like a welcome fire

That comes in the cold

You make my heart warm

And a little more love is born

And I'm caught up once again on you

Soft as a rose, your tenderness glows

But you're so strong

And I know I'm gonna love you long

Well, crazy maybe

But I've seen paradise

Here in your eyes

I'm in seventh heaven

Ooh, there's nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

When the lights are out

And I'm in the dark

I'm not afraid, no

Long as I can get a piece of your heart

And the wind sighs

I love you

Specially when we touch

I need it so much

And I'm glad that we found love

Let the record show that I know that I've

Seen paradise here in your eyes

I'm in seventh heaven

Ooh, there's nothing quite

Like spending your life

With a special someone

It feels so right

Hmm, ooh (paradise)

Hey, I'm in para, para-dise, yeah

I'm in paradise, you know

You know that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like to be in paradise

(Paradise) I'm in paradise

And for those who think that there's no such thing

As eternity, they should take a look at you and me

We have got the perfect harmony

Specially when we touch

You know I need it, oh, so much

I'm in heaven specially when I'm with you, hey

I'm in paradise (paradise)

I'm in paradise, paradise and a

Here in your life

Here in your eyes (paradise)

Oh really, I'm in paradise

You know that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like to be in paradise

(Paradise) I wanna move with you

I wanna groove you, baby

With me, with me in paradise

I said I'm in paradise

Ooh, ooh, Hoo (paradise)

Yeah, to be in paradise with you and me

To be enough, paradise here in your eyes

Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh

You that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like, you know that I like

You know that I like

You know that I like, I like

I like to be in paradise

Spending my life, spending my life

Spending my life, spending my life

Spending all my life with you

Here in paradise, wooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know, of all the things in the world I'd miss

It would probably be music and love

They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

That's so true

Even though we still take it for granted

And I used to be like that but not anymore

'cause I found out what love really means

Love means happiness and dedication

Love will sometimes bring complications

But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust

Most of all you can never give up just

(hold on, hold on)

Hold on to your good thing, yeah

(hold on, hold on) forget about the small things

(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love

And remember that love is a feeling

But it's also an action, yes

You've got to give sometime

If you want to get back some, well

And when all the king's horses

And even all the king's men

Can't put it together again

That is exactly when you've got to

(hold on, hold on) hold on to what you've got


(hold on, hold on)

It's the little things that mean alot

(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love

In spite of everything, no matter what

You've got to h-o-l-d on (you gotta hold on)

Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh

You're so hard headed

'cause you feel that you're right

Well, tell me how you gonna feel

In the middle of the night

All alone, all alone

I know, I know

It doesn't matter who's right or wrong

If you feel so inclined

To blame that shame on someone else

Ooh, stop and think about it

Point the finger at yourself

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hold on to your good thing (hold on)

Forget about the small (hold on) things

(hold on) and hold on

Hold on, oh hold on (hold on)

Real tight in spite of everything

Hold on (hold on)

When you feel like walking out that door

INTROThere's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the skyAnd the night is like a velvet lullabyThere's a heaven of blueAnd we'll go there, just you and I
Let's build a stairway to the starsAnd climb that stairway to the starsWith love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violinsOut yonder where the blue beginsThe moon will guide us as we go drifting along
CHORUS:Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petalOver the rim of the hill?Can't we sail away on a little dreamAnd settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the starsA lovely stairway to the starsIt would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

Let's build a stairway to the starsA lovely stairway to the starsIt would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself

And if I'm ever the least unsure

I always remind myself

Though your someone in this world that I'll always choose to love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

As for me it's getting down to the last unspoken part

When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart

Tell me why should I even care if I have to lose your love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

Wish it was enough for you

All the love I had to give

I did my best to keep you satisfied

I guess you'll never know how much I tried

I really tried

And if ever our paths should cross again

Well, you won't find me being the one to get lost again

Once I had so much to give but you just refused my love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

Musical Interlude

I did my best to keep you satisfied

I guess you'll never know how much I tried

I really tried

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself

And if I'm ever the least unsure I always remind myself

Though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

Though you're someone in this world that I'll always choose to love

From now on you're only someone that I used to love

Hmm, from now on you're only someone that I used to love

Written by Natalie Cole

Beautiful dreamer, you are like magic to me

'Cause you share all your love

And your life and your love is so fine in my life

It's just what I've been looking for

Searching for and you care

Beautiful dreamer, not an illusion to me

You know I can tell by the way that you've taken my hand

In a moment of sadness your gladness is there to surround me

Astound me and you care

I've seen all the people (waiting at the station)

Waiting at the station

(no imagination) No imagination

They're too busy doing nothing

Making all kinds of arrangements

(Nothing's really) But nothing's really changing them

(Changing them)

They're (they're) still asking why (why) their well is dry

I tried to tell them that love is the answer

They need a beautiful dreamer

If I could I'd share you with them

Oh, but you know it took so very long to find what I've needed

And my greatest obsession is doing my best

Just to keep you and love you 'cause you care

You're one in a million

(Always giving into) Always giving in to

(me whenever I begin to) me whenever I begin to act

A little like I'm crazy

Still (still you never faulter) you never faulter

(never try to alter) or never try to alter my integrity

How I could I not be proud to have your wisdom

You're such a beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)

You are like magic to me

'Cause you share all your love

And your life (and your life)

And your love is so fine

(So fine in my life) in my life

And you know its just what I've been searching for

Looking for and you care

(Beautiful) beautiful dreamer (dreamer)
