LIFE IS A DANCE

CHORUS:
Life is a dance, life is a dance
Life is a dance, life is a dance

Everywhere coast to coast
Around the land
We all have one thing in common
We all love to dance
In and out of discos, crazy lights
Keep on movin' all through the night

CHORUS

Why don't you listen
Listen to the groove
I am sure enough sure you'll find
Just the rhythm, the rhythm of your soul
Dance to the music keepin' steady time

CHORUS

Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance to the music on crazy lights
Dance to the music, crazy lights
Dance


I KNOW YOU, I LIVE YOU

It's not difficult
For me to say I love you
It wouldn't be difficult
If you would say the same
And believe me when I tell you
That I know you very well
I know you like I know my name

I think that I have met you
Somewhere in my dreams
I may never have met you at all
And I know you must be thinking,
"What a silly girl"
I know your every thought and scheme

I wake up to the feeling each morning
I go to bed to it at night
I know you, I live you

CHORUS:
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I live you

One day you'll realize
That we're not strangers
If you open up your eyes
You'll know me too
And see that we were
Meant to be together, my dear
And all the rest is up to you

BRIDGE

Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I know you as if I've known you all my life
I know you, I know you
Like I feel a song in the morning
Like I see the moon at night
I think I know you more than you know yourself
I know you, I live you
Know you, live you
Know you, live you
Know you

And without me you'd stumble
And without you I'd fall
Without each other we would not be at


THIS IS MY NIGHT

(Tonight, ah, tonight)

I'm puttin' on my makeup
It's time to wake up
The owners of the night are calling me
I'm ready and I'm willing
To pull out the happy feeling
Something special's in the air for me

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
An angel in my pocket, right?
Feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
Gonna let this magic shine

CHORUS:
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine

I feel like winning
i don't know the reason
Something telling me to let it ride
Got me rockin' and reeling
I don't know what the deal is
Something special I just can't describe

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
On my way to paradise
Feels so fine
Feels just like the first time
Gonna gonna let this magic shine

CHORUS

This is my night, this is my night, this is my night
The night is young, let it shine (come out)
This is, this is my night, this, this is my night!
This is my my my my my night, my my my...

This feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
I'm gonna let this magic shine
Let it shine, let it shine

This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (my night)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine, oh)
My night, let it shine This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine on me, shine on me)


EYE TO EYE

I’m in the mood to end these empty days
Ever when I – you stare down – romancin'
Everytime I see your face – hopeless - colder than ice
With no more flame
I think our love has reached the part of no return
It’s so sad when lovers don’t see

Eye to eye – a look says everything
Eye to eye – so close, so far away

That distant look is all you’ve got to say
Everytime I try to talk to you
Every word is lost in space
Drifting further apart in every way
We’ve come to be the ones that love is out of sight
It’s so clear that we just don’t see

Eye to eye – a look says everything
Eye to eye – so close, so far away

There’s no reason for this heartache
To go on and on, when the feeling’s gone
I can say now, that it’s to late
To try and change your mind

Eye to eye – a look says everything
Eye to eye – so close, so far away


SLOW DANCIN' (FEATURING RICK JAMES)

I catch your reflection
Through smoke filled ayes
I begin my inspection
And I'm watchin' you
Your smooth syncopation
You synthesize
Your beatin' vibration
Makes me watchin' you

BRIDGE:
(And) If I smiled at you
Would you walk away
Or would you have this dance with me

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Yeah, just you and me, baby, oh babe

Something about your freaky ways
Gives me a shiver
I watch you
You're a smooth operator
With sexy eyes, in anticipation
I watch you (I watch you, too)

BRIDGE

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
So fine (Slow dancin')
Oh baby, slow (Slow dancin')
And goin' low (Slow dancin')
Oh just you and me

Oh you dance with, oh you dance with
Oh you dance with, oh you dance with me
Just round and round, and dance slow

La la la slow, la la la dancin'

Slow dancin', slow dancin'
Slow dancin', just you and me, babe

Dance with me, dance with me, baby, oh
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'
Just you and me

Baby, just one slow dance
Baby, just one slow grind
Baby, let's get down low
And see what we will find
Baby, just one slow dance
Let's give it just one slow grind
Chaka just get down low
And see what we will find

BRIDGE

Dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
Just you and me

(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') You and me, babe
(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'


FATE

When you walked into my lonely life tonight
I saw my destiny, I saw eternity tonight
And the moment I held you I knew it
What we do is decided before we do it

CHORUS:
Fate, this could only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman

Time stood still, and we lost on words to say
And though the people stared, they seemed a million miles away
Oh we knew it was love we were feeling
We were destined to give it a whole new meaning

CHORUS

In my heart I feel I've loved you all my life
I was in the dark, but now I think I've seen the light
I rang like a bell with your laughter
Something tells me I'll love you forever and ever

BREAKDOWN:
Fate (this could only be)
It was fate (this could only be)
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
(It's part of the plan)
I'll love you forever and ever


I'M EVERY WOMAN

CHORUS:
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause

CHORUS

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

CHORUS

I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah

I'm every woman (repeat and fade)


ONE MILLION KISSES

If I could only shake the hand of time
Cause time has been good to us
Bringin' us closer together
I know our love is of a special kind
A real everlasting love, that keeps getting better and better

CHORUS:

Night after night, night after night, day after day
The closer we get – with every minute – just tickin' away
Our love has come to see maturity
And from the very day we said hello
I washed out our love for all
One million kisses later
Our love is so much greater
One million kisses after
We share more love than laughter

We’ve been through a lot together – you and I
But time has been good to us
Givin‘ us so much to treasure
So many tomorrows we have left behind
The future becomes harsh
But this kind of love will last forever

CHORUS


AIN'T NOBODY

Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go

And now we're flyin' through the star
I hope this night will last forever

I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone

And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh

CHORUS:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you

I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'

I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever

CHORUS

And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure

CHORUS


CLOUDS

Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon

Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand

Clouds
The moment that you say good-bye
They're gonna rush right to the sky

Whoa...
Baby, baby, please don't go

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain down tears
Of heartaches and fears

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
There in the distance
Is that number one pain

Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming

Clouds
Go away, go away
Go, don't take away my sunny days

Clouds
Leave me be
Getting so dark out
I just can't see


I FEEL FOR YOU

This feeling that I got for you, baby
