Warm Your Heart

Aaron Neville Warm Your Heart Lyrics
1.Louisiana 1927

(Randy Newman)

What has happened down here, is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
It rained real hard, and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day, the river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood, some people got away alright
The river had busted through clear down to Placker Mine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away

President Coolidge come down, in a railroad train
With his little fat man with a note pad in his hand
President say 'little fat man, oh isn't it a shame,
What the river has done to this poor farmer's land'

Oh Louisiana, Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, you're trying to wash us away
Oh Louisiana, oh Louisiana
They're trying to wash us away, oh Lord, they're trying to wash
us away
They're trying to wash us away, they're trying to wash us away


2.Everybody Plays the Fool

(R. Clark, J.R. Bailey, K. Williams)

Ok, so your heart is broken
You're sitting around mopin', mopin', mopin', cryin', cryin'
You say you're even thinking about dying
Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

Fallin' in love is such an easy thing to do
But there's no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love
you
Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be
Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you're mind with
emotion

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

How can you help it, when the music starts to play
And your ability to reason, is swept away
Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you're out of touch with
reality
And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries
for you

Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime
Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby
They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again,
Everybody plays the fool

Everybody plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain't lying
Everybody plays the fool

Every plays the fool, sometime
There's no exception to the rule, listen baby
It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again
Everybody plays the fool


3.It Feels Like Rain

(John Hiatt)

Down here the river meets the sea
In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Lying underneath the stars right next to you
And I'm wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do
baby
Oh, the clouds roll in across the moon, and the wind howls out
your name
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

We never gonna make that bridge tonight, baby
Set across the Poncetrain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Batten down the hatches, baby
Leave your heart out on your sleeve
Looks like we're in for stormy, stormy, stormy weather
That ain't no cause to leave
Just like
Let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
It feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
Feels like rain
Let your love, let your love come down
Oh, down on me


4.Somewhere, Somebody

(Andrew Kastner, Larry McNally, Max Gronenthal)

Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know that one of them is just right for me
I've looked uptown, downtown, all around searchin'
I know she's out there waiting for me

Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be

You know street lights shine in those passin' faces
I keep tryin' to catch somebody's eye
But all the shoulda been's, the woulda been's, the mighta been's
and the coulda been's
Slippin' away and just walk right on by

Somewhere, somebody, lookin', longin'
Somewhere, somebody, waitin' for me
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world can this girl be

I walk in the rain that's fallin'
Some voice in the distance callin', why
I run to the empty doorway waitin' for the sun to shine
When will love be mine

Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world
Somewhere, somebody, searchin', prayin'
Tell me where in the world

Must be a million girls in this great big city
I know you're out there waiting for me


5.Don't Go, Please Stay

(Burt Bacharach, Bob Hilliard)

Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay

If I got on my knees and pleaded with you
Not to go, but to stay in my heart
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go

If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go
But this time be different in some way
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay

You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved by your kiss

If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears
Knowing I, I need you so
Would you still turn and go
But this time be different and please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay
Don't go, please stay


6.With You in Mind

I'll take a walk all by myself
So I can think of nothing else
But loving you when we find time.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

I'll pick a rose and feel the thorn
Every day that you are gone
A new memory to live I'll find.
These are the things I'll do with you in mind.

There'll come a day when I can live
To go and bring you back to me.
We'll dance and sing and toast someone.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind.
There are the things I'll do with you in mind.


7.That's The Way She Loves

(Allen Toussaint)

With her mind far away from mine
She's mostly sincere most of the time
Yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the
way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves

With her strong desire to please
Oppression to her, is like a disease
Yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the
way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves

Many times when she's alone
She dreams and dreams and dreams
Dreaming of a perfect love
That never was, and would never be

With her heart placed in her hand
She will go to the end and back if she can for me
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the
way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves

That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the
way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves

That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the
way she loves
That's the way she loves
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves

10.La Vie Dansante

Written:Jimmy Buffett/Michael Utley/Will Jennings

They can come take it all away
Break your heart by the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ships heading for the rocks
See the time melting off of the clocks
There's a light shatters all the locks
And saves me
It saves me

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders

Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feelings

That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow the dancing life
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you want La Vie Dansante

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes us just where we want
That's all we want La Vie Dansante

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
That's all we want...


11.Warm Your Heart

(Tom Dowd, Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun)

Well, we're all searching for peace of mind
Love in this world is hard to find
Come close to me, hold my hand
And warm your heart

Only a true love can satisfy
Open your arms and close your eyes
Walk with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart

Well, you're the reason for the way I'm feeling
Cause I've never felt this way before
I want to make you oh, so happy
That's all I'm living for

Just sorrow, yes, you should know
We need each other
When lights are low
Stay with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart

Well, you're the reason for the way I'm feeling
Cause I've never felt this way before
I want to make you oh, so happy
That's all I'm living for

So come to me and make things right
I'll keep you happy both day and night
Stay with me, hold my hand
And warm your heart


12.I Bid You Goodnight

(Traditional Bahamian gospel song)

Lay down my dear Brother, lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Lay down my dear Brother, lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight
Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight
Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight
He's riding a staff, gonna comfort me, goodnight
Join the wise, there's a soul to find, goodnight
Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight
To leave for the ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight
She really loaded down, getting water to float, goodnight
Now pray for the beast at the ending of the world, goodnight
He loved the children that would not be good, goodnight
I remember rather well, I remember right well, goodnight
I went walking to Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
I wanna lay your head upon your Saviors breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight


13.Ave Maria

Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tuis Jesus
Sancta Maria, Sancta Maria, Maria
Ora pro nobis
Nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora, in hora mortis nostrae
Amen. Amen.
