Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine

As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust

After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me

In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...

Debbie Dean-Dennis Lussier- James Kuroki

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

When you went away
There's nothing I could say
But now I feel the hurt's coming over me
Wishing you were here, thinking 慴out you, dear
Every night and day the way it used to be
Although it's been so long since you were by my side
I'll keep holding on and won抰 let this love die.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Every girl has a dream of happiness
But all I dream of you's your sweet caress
I just can't tell you how I miss you so
But all my love I won't let go, oh.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

Everywhere I go the tears begin to flow
Cause I pass by every place we used to meet
And when I'm home alone
My friends call me on the phone
They all say that you will not return to me
I know you're gone without me
Although I don't know where
I know you're thinking bout me, I feel it in the air.

I'm trying not to let another take your place
Even though the loneliness is on my face
You can't let someone take what they don't own
Baby, I'm yours, so please come home.

I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.

There you were, standing there
As your eyes reached out to me
Something warm in your eyes
Touched my heart right then and there
All the love I never knew
I found in you

Suddenly, my world stood still
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had laid a plan
For everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of

At last, ooh, at last
My forever came today
(My forever came today)
When you walked into my life
(When you walked into my life)
And made my lonely life

A paradise
(A paradise)
It came today
(Oh, it came today)
Forever came today
(Forever came today)

As we were standin' there
You didn't speak a single word
But your eyes
Your eyes said, you wanted me
Your touch said, you needed me
And my heart said tenderly

"Darlin'
Ooh, my darlin', make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
To this place, to your warm embrace
And our happiness"

Thanks to you, my search has ended
And I want the world to see
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I've been forever dreamin of

At last, ooh, at last
My forever came today
(My forever came today)
When you walked into my life
(When you walked into my life)
And made my lonely life

A paradise
(A paradise)
It came today
(Oh, it came today)
Forever came today
(Forever came today)
(Forever came today)

At last, ooh, at last
My forever came today
(My forever came today)
When you walked into my life
(When you walked into my life)
And made my lonely life

A paradise
(A paradise)
It came today
(Oh, it came today)
Forever came today
(Forever came today)
(Forever came today)

At last, ooh, at last
My forever came today

The best years of my life I placed into your hands
Now suddenly you've made, you've made a change of plans
That world we built for two does not include me now
That world of pleasant dream is but a nightmare now.

On life's bridge we ran so gaily hand in hand
But it's all over now, that bridge is all burned down
Your love was all I could depend upon
Who can I turn to now, now that you抮e gone.

I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, always.

The joyful things that we used to do
That kept me right on, right on loving you
Oh, playing funny, childish games
Like running barefoot in the rain.

It was a special dream, a dream that I could feel
But now you抳e gone, life's so unreal
Your love is truly the only love I've known
What am I to do now that you're gone.

I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, every day.

Days have come and gone but they never find you here
Nights are twice as long, oh, without you, dear
After many, many faithful years
How could you cause me so many tears?

I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
Just can't make it alone.

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
I long to find a love I'm sure about
That certain kind of love that moves all doubts

Keep falling in and out of love
Still searchin' for that special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love so sweetly

Just when I feel sure love's here to stay
It seems to suddenly just fade away
Can't seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of

Keep falling in and out of love
Can't seem to find the lasting kind
It seems I can't find the joy I need
Love always somehow all goes wrong for me

Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness

Well,I'm looking for a love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we've said goodnight

Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
Keep falling in and out of love...

(Brenda Holloway-Patrice Holloway)

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

You don抰 hold me in your arms the way you did
When you were so much in love with me
I recall the time when you were all mine
And I didn抰 have to share your love with anyone.

And when I feel I wanna be with you
And I can抰 right then, it almost drives me insane
慍ause you抮e the only one who can easy my mind
慍ause you抮e the reason of all of my hurt and all of my pain.

When I guess my world was made believe
慍ause I thought I can have your love all to myself
And there抯 nothing I can do 慶ause you抮e gonna do
What you wanna do anyhow, anyway.

But loving you is blinding me so
I still hold on to every hope and every dream
While deep inside I feel the tide is about to turn
And you won抰 find me hanging around you anymore.

But keep this in mind for the end of time
You抮e gonna want me more than I want you now
Ooo, it抯 gonna be a shame, hate to see you that way
I know how it feels 慶ause I抦 on that cloud today.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(Hal David/Burt Bacharach)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now...

(J. Webb)

Would you like to ride
In my beautiful balloon ?
Would you like to glide
In my beautiful balloon ?
We could flow among the stars
Together you and I
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place
In my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face
In my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song
And sail along the silversky
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the sky for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
Keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there
In my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air
In ly beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand
We'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly
For we can fly

Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon

Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away

Love, love, love makes me do foolish things
Sitting on by the phone, a phone that never rings
Hoping to hear you say you love me still
Knowing you never will.

Love, love, love has made a fool of me
Got me doing things, things that shouldn't be
Listening for the sound of your knock on my door
Knowing that sweet sound would be no more.

Funny how precious memories linger on
So long after you抮e gone
Oooh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love has made a fool of me
Speak your name softly each night
While holding your picture tight
When you took my heart, you took my soul
And it's far beyond control.

Funny how precious memories linger on
So long, long after you're gone
Oh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?

All because love, love, love makes me do these things
Love, love, love, love has made a fool of me
Love, love, love makes me do foolish things.

(William "Smokey" Robinson/R.Rogers/W. Moore)

If Columbus never sailed the sea
)If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme
If leaves have never grown upon a tree
And if the sands have never told the time
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real

If Beethoven never wrote a song
And if Shakespeare never wrote a play
If a man has never done a wrong
And if night has never followed day
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love for you couldn't possibly be true

If high is low
And up is down
And if love is not considered an emotion
If yes is no
And square is round
And if waves had never rode across the ocean

If Michaelangelo could never paint
And if Jezebel was a saint
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love is wrong couldn't possibly be strong

Then I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel...

(William "Smokey" Robinson/W. Moore)

The door to my heart was open
Open wide much wider than wide
(I said the door was open)
And I had been praying and hoping
That your love would come walking inside

I should have locked my heart
I should have thrown away the key
Instead I let you walk on through
I thought your love was true
But it was misery

Ooh, heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

(I said the door was open, it was wide open)
My heart had room inside
And to fill it with love I was willing
I wanted it to be occupied
By a love that was strong and fulfilling

I should have shut you out
Detained you with a strong defence
Instead my heart gave shelter to
A love I felt was true
In every sense
Don't you know that

Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

(My heart had room inside now, it had room inside)
Now I've cried a river
No it's more like a sea
Tears flow by the thousand
Since my heart is housing this misery
Misery

Let me tell you about
Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

Heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home

(B. Gentry)

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said she got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

(Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.)

Why don't you stay in my, my lonely arms
Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.

You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
I need it so

Stay in my lonely arms
Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.

Holding you close is so heavenly
I can feel the love glow deep inside of me
Please, don't go.

Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.

Each kiss makes love just a little stronger
Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer
Please, don't go.

Stay in my, in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms
You are so thrilling, my arms are willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.

Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about you.

You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know about you.

And if you think that you
can steal my heart away
Why don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you.

Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you.

Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.

I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.

I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you.

Hey, life, look at me, I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't
Take care of, then you better beware of the happening

One day you're up, then you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me, and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Yeah, riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened

I saw my dreams fall apart when love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life for what it is
It's not all dreams, ooh, it's not all bliss
It happened to me, and it can happen to you

Once
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened

Is it real, is it fake, is this game of life a mistake?
'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine
For certain, suddenly I started hurting

I saw the light too late, when that fickle finger of fate
Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening

So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Cause when you got a tender love you don't
Take care of, then you better beware of
