The Grand Tour

Aaron Neville The Grand Tour Lyrics
1.Don't Take Away My Heaven

Composer:Diane Warren

Oh, baby, I found heaven when I found you
And this heaven is somethin' I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said goodbye, I couldn't stand the
pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain

And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby, don't
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

Oh, baby, I saw forever when I saw you
And if you left me, I can't imagine what I'd do
Now that I've gone and built my world around your love, I
couldn't let you go
Don't ever say goodbye, no, don't, don't, don't ever go

'Cause the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know (Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go (If you go)
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

'Cause you might as well take my life from me
What good would a life without you be anyway (Anyway)
If you go away

Well, the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky (From the sky)
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know (Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go (If you go)
Baby, don't, no
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
Baby, don't
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

Please don't take away my heaven
Please
Baby, don't, oh, no
Don't take away my heaven, oh...

Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
Baby, don't, oh
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no


2.I Owe You One

You believe that I've changed your life forever
And you're never gonna find another somebody like me
And you wish you had more than just a life time to give back all
I've given you
And that's what you believe
But I owe you
The sunlight in the morning and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you more than life now more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay
I'm amazed when you say it's me you live for
You know that when I'm holding you, you're right where you
belong
And my love, I can't help but smile with wonder when you tell me
all I've done for you
'Cause I've known all along
But I owe you
The sunlight in the morning and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
And I owe you more than life now more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay
'Cause I owe you
The sunlight in the morning and the nights of all this loving
that time can't take away
I owe you more than life now more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay


3.Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight

Lyrics:Bob Dylan
Music:Bob Dylan

Just a minute before you leave, girl,
Just a minute before you touch the door.
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl?
Do you think we can talk about it some more?
You know, the streets are filled with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope,
You know, it ain't even safe no more
In the palace of the Pope.

Don't fall apart on me tonight,
I just don't think that I could handle it.
Don't fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday's just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.

Come over here from over there, girl,
Sit down here. You can have my chair.
I can't see us goin' anywhere, girl.
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can't take
you there.
I wish I'd have been a doctor,
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost,
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed.

Don't fall apart on me tonight,
I just don't think that I could handle it.
Don't fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday's just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, oh, yeah.

I ain't too good at conversation, girl,
So you might not know exactly how I feel,
But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountain top, girl,
And build you a house made out of stainless steel.
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting
That's hanging in the Louvre,
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches
But I know that I can't move.

Don't fall apart on me tonight,
I just don't think that I could handle it.
Don't fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday's gone but the past lives on,
Tomorrow's just one step beyond
And I need you, oh, yeah.

Who are these people who are walking towards you?
Do you know them or will there be a fight?
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through,
Can they tell you what's wrong from what's right?

Do you remember St. James Street
Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind?
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line.

Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,
No more booby traps and bombs,
No more decadence and charm,
No more affection that's misplaced, girl,
No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms.
What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants?
He looked so baffled and so bewildered
When he played and we didn't dance.

Don't fall apart on me tonight,
I just don't think that I could handle it.
Don't fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday's just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.


4.My Brother, My Brother

(Phil Roy, Bob Thiele Jr., Davey Farager)

You are my Brother, you are my family
And it seems like only yesterday, we were running wild and free
Down the corner buying candy, or messin' 'round in the
neighborhood
Hanging out with you night and day, it was good, so good
Lately I've heard you've got the weight of the world on your
shoulder
Times have been rough, I can't turn the other way

My Brother, my Brother, whatcha gonna do
My Brother, my Brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My Brother, my Brother, I'll always be here

I know that we are different, and we've gone our separate way
But we've got to learn to accept each other, for who we are
today
I know it won't be easy, but we both have got to try
To hold onto each other, until the day we die
Nobody knows you quite the way that I do
And if you're in trouble, come to me, come to me

My Brother, my Brother, whatcha gonna do
My Brother, my Brother, I'm here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My Brother, my Brother, I'll always be here

Whatcha gonna do
I'm here to help you
Tell me

We got the same blood running through our veins, my Brother
Father is the heaven, Mother is the grave
We gotta look out for each other, my Brother
Yeah, that's what we gotta do

Tell me
My Brother, my Brother, whatcha gonna do
My Brother, my Brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My Brother, my Brother, I'll always be here

My Brother, my Brother, whatcha gonna do
My Brother, my Brother, I'm here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My Brother, my Brother, I'll always be here

My Brother, my Brother, whatcha gonna do
My Brother, my Brother, here to help you
Tell me your sorrows, tell me your fears
My Brother, my Brother, I'll always be here


5.Betcha By Golly, Wow

(Linda Creed, Thom Bell)

There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales come true
But they come true, when I'm near you

You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise, and

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

If I could, I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you So I'll know where you are
All the rainbows in your favorite shades
To show I love you, thinking of you

Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask, I'll try

'Cause betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for, forever
And ever will my love for you, keep growing strong
Keep growing strong


6.Song Of Bernadette

(Leonard Cohen, Jennifer Warnes, Bill Elliott)
duet with Linda Ronstadt

There was a child named Bernadette
I heard the story long ago
She saw the Queen of Heaven once
And kept the vision in her soul
No one believed what she had seen
No one believed what she heard
But there was sorrows to be
And mercy, mercy in this world

So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do

We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every night, and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done
Tonight, tonight I can not rest
I've got this joy inside my breast
To think that I did not forget that child
That song of Bernadette

So many hearts I find, broke like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold, come on let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
I just want to hold you, won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do


7.You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can
tell

They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale,
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out
well
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can
tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can
tell

They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
'C'est la vie', say the old folks, it goes to show you never can
tell


8.The Bells

(Elgie Stover, Marvin Gaye, Anna Gordy Gaye, Iris Gordy)

I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells
I'll never hear the bells if you leave me
I'll never hear the bells

Do you hear what I hear
Your lips are kissing mine
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you

What do I have to do to make you feel the tingling too
Can you hear the bells darling
Can you hear them when I'm kissing you

Oh yeah
Oh, I hear the bells, ringing in my ear
Tell me do you love me, do you love me, do you love me, do you
love me like I love you

Oh, it's one thing that I want you to remember
If you ever leave me I believe I'll go insane
And I'll never hear the bells again
No, I'll never hear the bells again
No, I'll never hear the bells again


9.These Foolish Things(Remind Me Of You)

Lyrics:Holt Marvell
Music:Jack Strachey/Harry Link

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

The smile of Turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you


10.The Roadie Song

(Aaron Neville)

You know night after night these guys are setting up, hooking
up,
climbing past the sky. They don't really get no praise,
so I wrote this song in honor of them,
cuz without them there'd be no show.

So get a roadie song, after all he ain't no bum
Give a roadie a hand, he's really part of the band

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song
Them speakers weigh a ton
His work is never done
So get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

Got a mighty long ways to travel
He's gotta cover many miles of gravel
He's gotta long long ways to go
And if he don't make it, there ain't gonna be no show

So give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie song
He climbed to kingdom Come
He's up to see the sun
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

He's got a mighty long ways to travel
He's gotta cover many miles of gravel
He's gotta long long ways to go
And if he don't make it, there ain't gonna be no show

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song, after all he
ain't no bum
And get a roadie a hand, he's really part of the band
Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the
roadie, give the roadie song
Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie, get a
roadie song
Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the
roadie, give a roadie song
Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the
roadie, give a roadie song


11.Ain't No Way

(Carolyn Franklin)

Ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me

I know that a mans duty is to have and love a woman
And that's the way it was planned
Oh but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I
can
If you're tying both of my hands

It ain't no way, it ain't no way, just ain't no way, ain't no
way baby
It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
The hard cold truth is, woman, you paid too much for what you
got
and if you need me, baby, say, say you do,
Baby, I , baby, baby, don't you know that I need you

It ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way, it ain't no way, it ain't no
way baby, baby, baby, baby
Just ain't no way, sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me


12.The Grand Tour

(George Richey, Carmol Taylor, Norris Wilson)

Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone

Over there, sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me sit down on my knee and
whisper
'Oh, I love you'
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never
Be the same without the love that we once knew

Straight ahead, that's the bed, where we'd lie in love together
And Lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table, don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say 'good morning dear'
There's her ring, all her things, and her clothes are in the
closet
Where she left them when she tore my world apart
As you leave you see the nursery, oh she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but our baby and my heart

Step right up, come on in, come on in


13.The Lord's Prayer

Our Father
Which art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
In Earth as it is
In Heaven...
(Give us this day our Daily Bread)
And forgive our debts
As we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
Forever...
Amen...
