Vanessa Williams Album

I was standing at 7:15 waiting for my baby's car
Just then out stepped the driver of a limousine
And asked if I was going far
I said I've got my mind made up
I don't wanna leave him baby cause it's clear to me
That it's just to tough to find another lover like mine

With the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with Mr. Right


Just Friday 'bout a week ago
This fellow called me on the phone
And said "I live in Paris, don't you want to go
I know you must be all alone"

Well, it'll take more than a fancy trip
Or a chauffeured limousine
Cause I ain't never seen no one
Who could give me love like this
The other fellows don't compare

To the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with Mr. Right
Sing

He's the only to give me that lovin'
Cause next to him there is no other one
He's very sexy and oh so sweet
And he knocks me off my feet
Say it

I need the right stuff
I got to have the right stuff
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff


Written by Salas/Jones

For the life of me
I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high
Every night I wish that I
Could tell you how I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there

Let me take time out
To try and find out
If this could be real
Cause reality scares me
I've been living a fantasy
How should I feel

Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there

Written by Montegomary/Paschal

Boy, you've been running around too long
Now I think you're running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
It's time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one
Then walk out the door
And you think you can run around having fun
And just come back for more
I think you're living in a fantasy
It's got to be them or me
So if you try it one more time
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

Boy, I hope you see before too late
I won't play the fool - no not this time
And I'll show you just how wrong you are
To think I just can't get you out of my mind

So you think that you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run around
and come back for more
I think that you're living in a fantasu
It's got to be them or me
And if you dis me once more
Baby don't expect me to come running back

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

You can't just dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear you playing around when you wanna
Anytime that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want ah
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh, oh I won't come running back
I won't come running

Running back to you
Then you'll think about love All the good I gave to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
I won't come running back
Running back to you
And I'll find someone
Somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I won't come running back
I won't come running

Where do we go
When there's a need to be loved
Like you need to be loved
Oh, I'll let you know
Just what to do and where to go
Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

After a hard day's work
There's one thing to be certain of
This ol' familiar love
It's not unusual to find that it's sensual
It's all you need to let go

There's no need to try
Or compromise
Or settle for another outside of my love
The thing to do
When you get through
Heed the message seek the comfort of my zone

Hey welcome to the comfort zone
When you need to be loved like you need to be loved
Welcome to the comfort zone
Do whatever feels right and turns you on

Hey let me make you comfortable
Let me take control
And give your mind a break from the day you made
Let's turn the lights down low
And oh the rest you know
I'll be here for you
'Cause you just stepped into the comfort zone


Written by Kipper Jones & Reggie Stewart

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last


Written by Waldman/Lind/Galdston

You and I in this moment
Holding the night so close
Hanging on, still unbroken
While outside the thunder rolls
Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Warm against life's bitter cold
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know
There are times that scare me
We rattle the house like the wind
Both of us so unbending
We battle the fear within
All the while, life is rushing by us
Hold it now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

So we'll whisper a dream here in the darkness
Watching the stars till they're gone
And when even the memories have all faded away
These days go on and on

Listen now, you can hear our heartbeats
Hold me now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know


Written by Jon Lind, Wendy Waldman, Phil Galdston

I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride
And now you're always working late
You never have much time for me
And you're expecting me to believe
That ou're not out with she ...please!
Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you won't mind
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another
And he is my lover
And I'm going out for the rest of your life
CHORUS:
I betcha never thought I'd go that far
I betch never thought I'd break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never

I know that everybody lies, that I know I can't deny
But what if they're intentional, the intention of your crime
Cause I know how much I can take, I know my heart demands a change
If I can't have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another
And he is my lover
And we're going out for the rest of your life

CHORUS

Written by Babyface

INTRO - SPEAKOUT

Never be afraid to love
never be afraid to just be
just cast away the chains of doubt
have the courage to be free

Don't cloud your rise with father's lies
see only what you want to see
to stuplicate the simple truth
have the courage to be free

Open your eyes You can fly
Open your eyes You can fly
You can fly (uh uh)
You can fly

Never be afraid to love (no, no, no...)
never be afraid to just be
cast away the chains of doubt
have the courage to be free

Open your eyes You can fly (fly away)
Open your eyes You can fly
You can fly (fly, fly, fly)

Open your eyes (yeah) You can fly (fly away)
Open your eyes You can fly
You can fly (mhh)
You can fly (fly away mhhm)

SPEAKOUT:
Remember,
you can't wait for others to applaud what you do
So just congratulate youself
and start something new

Open your eyes You can fly (open your eyes)
Open your eyes You can fly (you can fly with me)
You can fly (fly)

Open your eyes (eyes) You can fly (baby yeah)
Open your eyes (fly away with never) You can fly (fly away with never)
You can fly
You can fly (mhh fly away way way)

Open your eyes (open your eyes) You can fly
Open your eyes (baby) You can fly
You can fly (no open this)

Open your eyes

In our time of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one was there to save us
We had to save ourselves

And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever


CHORUS:
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes, the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by


There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
We came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now we're back on solid ground


We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of danger
'Cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers


CHORUS

If we lose our way
Any night or day
Well, we'll always be
I'm there for you
And I know you're there for me


As the years go by
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers


CHORUS 2X

Vanessa Williams & Brian McKnight


[Vanessa]
They say it's a river, that circles the Earth
A beam of light shinin' to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything

They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is
It conquers all
But it's a mystery

1 - Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard

And it fades away
So easily

[Brian]
In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In the blink of an eye babe, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity

2 - Love breaks the chains
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And then turns it into the beauty that remains

[Vanessa]
Look at this place
It was paradise
But now it's dying
I'll pray for love

[Brian]
I'll take, my chances that it's not too late


[Vanessa] (Repeat 1)


[Brian]
And it fades away so easily
Oh Oh Oh

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you there he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

How high does the sycamore grow ?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind

Life can be strange, somethings we forget
or rearrange in time, lose the past
Tell me the truth, tell me how can I know
that this new love of ours, that its gonna last

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

What's in a name, his life just a game
we color then erase (we've been erased), when we lose face
How many lives, tell me how many tries
before we get it right (before we get it right), the truth is inside

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

When I never weak, so weak
to scared to speak
When I never low, so low
to tell me, you will never need

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

Uh how long
How long have you been away?
Oh how long, can't find no words to say

I've kept your picture on my shelf (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
only there to remind myself (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)

Uh my love
will I ever make you see
oh that somehow, you are still apart of me
maybe we can compromise
'cause our love just can't be disguised
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame, oh)

I've kept your picture on my shelf
only there to remind myself (thinkin' 'bout you babe)
I have always care for you, do you still love me?

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change (somethings will never change)
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me,say that you love me)

Oh my flame (my flame)
somethings will never change
still hold your vision in my mind
say you still love me (say that you love me, say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me (my flame)
say you still love me (say that you love me)
say you still love me
