Diana Ross Forever Diana Musical Memoirs Lyrics
1.99 1/2 Won't Do

(gospel church clapping)

I'm running low (Lord I'm running trying to make a hundred)
trying to make a hundred (Lord I'm running trying to make a
hundred)
Ninety-nine and a half just wont do

I'm running low (Lord I'm running trying to make a hundred)
trying to make a hundred (Lord I'm running trying to make a
hundred)
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do

I'm praying loud (Lord I'm praying trying to make a hundred)
trying to make a hundred (Lord I'm praying trying to make a
hundred)
Ninety-nine and a half just wont do

I'm praying loud
trying to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half just wont do

No it wont do (No no no it wont do)
it wont do (no no no it wont do)
Oh it wont do (no no no it wont do)
It wont do
It wont do
Just wont do
Ninety-nine and a half just wont do

And I'm counting now
You're a survivor
I'm just trying go further
I guess you wont help
you're left behind
Your half of the weight
won't make the grade
You ain't moving
I'm grooving
let me tell you
Ninety-one
Ninety-two
Ninety-three
Ninety-four
Ninety-five
Ninety-six
Ninety-seven
Ninety-eight
Ninety-nine and a half just wont do

You're a survivor
I'm just trying to go further
I'm gonna make a mile
Sure I'll try
Your half the weight
Won't make the grade
Are you moving?
See me I'm grooving
let me tell you 91,92,93....


2.Amazing Grace

Lyrics:John Newton
Music:John Newton

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now I see

The earth shall soon
Dissolve like snow
The sun forget to shine
But God who brought me here below
Will be forever mine

Through him many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'T was grace that brought me here thus far
And grace will lead me home


3.Back To The Future

Written:Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Jim Wray

Every day's a new beginning
That's what I stand for
Since our possibilities
In a world out of control

You're looking for a miracle
To spray the air feel the rain
Since you're out of control
Married to pain

Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes

Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future

Close your eyes and pretend
That you're a bird in the sky
Turn your face to the wind
I know you can learn to fly

Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes

Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future

Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future

Believe you can be
Believe that you can
You can make a stay
We can change the world
I know we can

You gotta take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future

Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future


4.Family

Lyrics:Tom Eyen/Henrey Kreiger
Music:Tom Eyen/Henrey Kreiger

'Is it a beautiful day? You're beautiful!
I mentioned earlier that the world is watching each of you. You
make me so proud I'm the happiest woman in the world right now.
I have a dream come true.'

'I want you to listen to me now. This is being televised again
worldwide today. Just calm yourselves, come on. Alright.
Can you feel me?
Yes, this may be the most important moment in my life.
There are words in this song that to me are very special
Listen.'

It's more than you
It's more than me
No matter what we are
We are a family

This dream is for us
This one can be real
They can't stop us now
Because of how we feel

It's more than you
It's more than me
whatever dreams we have
They're for the family

We're not alone any more then
There are others there
And this dream's big enough
For all of us to share

So don't think you're going
We're not going anywhere
We're staying, taking our share
If you get afraid again
I'll be there

We are a family
Like a giant tree
Branching out towaards the sky

We are a family
And so much more
Than just you and I

We are a family
Like a giant tree
Growing strong
Growing wiser

We are
We are
a family

'I love you'


5.Force Behind The Power

Lyrics:Stevie Wonder
Music:Stevie Wonder

Since the beginning of all life's beginnings
Right at the very dawning of the sun
Any and everyone had cause and reason
For in good all good is done

Now down in every heart there are two forces
One is for the wrong, one's for the right
But never do you have to fear with this as armor
For good always wins the fight

What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your
face
It is love, pure love, it is love

In every book of truth it has been written
That we are measured by the things we do
If for the good of all is what you like doing
Then all that good will come to you

That doesn't mean you have to be a rich man
You could be a person living on the street
But if you give but only words to lift someone higher
Then a heart of gold is what you will be

What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your
face
It is love, pure love, it is love

What's that force behind the power that makes you willing to
share
What's that force behind the power that for a lost soul you're
there
What's that force behind the power that's not to busy to care
It is love, pure love, it is love

Not trying to preach about it, but no one can do without it

What's that force behind the power that will lend a hand
What's that force behind the power when others can't yes you can
What's that force behind the power it's greater than any man
It is love, God's love, it is love

What's that force behind the power that tears walls down of hate
What's that force behind the power that is never too late
What's that force behind the power that forever will wait
It is love, God's love, it is love


6.If We Hold On Together

Written:James Horner/Will Jennings

Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let them come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I


7.It's A Wonderful Life

Written:Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Kim Bullard

I was lost in darkness all alone
On the streets no place that I
I could call my own

Time's so hard
Rain everywhere down below
Until the day I heard your voice
Telling me which way to go

Come on out into the life
Hold on love it's alright

It's a wonderful life
Now that you made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony

It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy

I was blind but love made me see
It's everything I was searchin' for
Was right in front of me

Loving you made me very strong
You gave me the strength I needed
So I could carry on

Come on out into the light
Hold on love it's alright

It's a wonderful life
You made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony

It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy

I feel light as a feather
Every day's beautiful weather
In your arms I remain
Forever and ever

It's a wonderful life
That you made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony

It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy

It's a wonderful life
You made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony

It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy


8.Let's Make Every Moment Count

Lyrics:Tom Snow/Gerry Goffin
Music:Tom Snow/Gerry Goffin

The bittersweet sadness of time passing by
Trying to hold back the years
you try to reach out and touch yesterday
But yesterday just disappears

We've shared a lot of sadness
We've shared a lot of pain
Let's make good use of the time that remains

Let's make every moment count
Let's taste the richness of life to it's fullest amount
Between me and you and all we've been through
There are no problems that we can't surmount
Let's make every moment count
Let's make every moment count

I still remember the day we first meet
We both didn't have a care
The years have flown, but we've both grown
We're none of the worse for the wear

We're only just beggining
I'm still your lover and your friend
And it's never too late to dream again

You say we've seen the best of all our memories
But if your heart and soul are in it
We'll make a new one every minute


9.One Shining Moment

Lyrics:Vaneese Thomas
Music:Vaneese Thomas

Tell me who, what, when,
Where did it start?
Tell me when, where
How did you get in my heart?
I feel your love washing over me
In waves of emotion so strong
I want to say while I've got the chance
In the words of this song

You're my one shining moment
You are all my dreams come true
Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you

You fill up for me all the empty spaces
All the pain I ever felt, you've erased it
Is it any wonder? No way
That I'm growing fonder every day
There's a freedom that I never knew
and it's all because of you, honey

You're my one shining moment
You are all my dreams come true
Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you

I wake up with you on my mind
You light up my day
There is nothing better I can find
Oh, my love, I'm so proud
That I can say, hey
All my dreams wrapped
Into one under the sun, honey

Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you
If I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you

Shining moment


10.The Best Years Of My Life

Written:Will Jennings/Stephen Allen Davis

Everytime I feel how life goes by
I recall the scenes that never die
One fine day
One fine night
You loving me
On and on and on
We took our love as far as love can go
You've given me the best years of my life

When I play my memories again
I feel all the pleasure and the pain
Love can hurt
Love can heal
Oh, how we hurt and healed ourselves again
We took our souls as far as souls can go
You've given me the best years of my life
You've given me the best years of my life

Bring on the storm
We'll see it through
We'll take it all
All life can do
Right to the end
We'll say let's begin

You've given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you
You've given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
For the best years of my life


11.This House

Lyrics:Nile Rodgers
Music:Nile Rodgers

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

Our toys are in the attic baby
Pictures on the wall
We can see our memories
From the days past in the mirror
Down the hall, oh yeah

Our love will survive in our own little paradise
So inspired, so inspired
Palatial it may not be
But it's a home and a castle to me
A dream from a magazine
And we'll never give it up 'cause

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

I'll try to comfort you baby
You try to comfort me yeah
I know you love me
With all your heart, oh yeah
'Cause you say you do

You know that when you are sad
I'll be there in a flash
At the drop of a hat, oh yeah
'Cause I want you to feel love
And you don't have to say a thing
You don't have to ask, 'cause baby

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

Maybe we'll strike it rich
One day really make it big
And I know because our love is so strong
We'll always have a home

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love


12.Waiting In The Wings

Lyrics:Andy Hill/Pete Sinfield
Music:Andy Hill/Pete Sinfield

I need you like freedom
I feel you like rain
I see you like silver rails across an endless plain
And I know there are moments
You feel as I do
That's why I'm waiting for you

This time around I won't push for an answer
Both of us need to be sure
To be strong
When the moment comes
I'll be your dancer
I'll be your singer
And your song

When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings
Waiting in the wings

A natural dreamer
A maverick soul
How close can I be to you
And still not lose control?
And as close as the ocean
As near as the sky
As near as the tears I don't cry

Maybe a fool has been drowned in a vision
Hung up to dry in the teeth of the wind
Believing in the truth of your decisions
That's all there is until the end

When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting. I'll be waiting
Waiting in the wings
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings

When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings

When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings


13.What A Wonderful World(Live)

Written:George Weiss/Robert Thiele

'This is a song
It's about our world
It's about our environment'

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you

And I say to myself
What a wonderful world

I said to myself
What a wonderful...
'You say it'
...world

'I love you'


14.When You Tell Me That You Love Me

Written:John Bettis/Albert Hammond

I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

You love me
When you tell me that you love me


15.Where Did We Go Wrong

Lyrics:R.Miller/T.Baird
Music:R.Miller/T.Baird

Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away

Alone again today
Remembering when

We were a brand new morning
We weren't afraid to feel
All that we asked was somewhere to hide

We were like happy children
Reaching out to touch everything that's real
We believed in love 'cause our lives were touching inside

And baby, remember the things we needed
The summers and the winters and springs we needed
The feeling we would fly and on wings we needed to share

Remember the people how few we needed
We always had the me and the you we needed
If every little thing that we knew we needed to care was there

Then where did we go wrong
And isn't time supposed to heal me?
Where did we go wrong
And can a part of you still feel me
As much as yesterday
A touch a world away
We were the time of Crystal
Shining for love to see
Both of us gave the things we receive

We were like hungry people
As I gave to you so you gave to me
Believing in our love 'cause we love the things we believe

Baby, remember the dreams we needed
The nights we couldn't sleep and these dreams we needed
So we could find the time for what it seems we needed to say

Remember the touches to show we needed
To keep our love and keep our love the glow we needed
And being here without you I know we needed to stay
That way

But where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away

Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong


16.Where Did We Go Wrong

Written:Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Jim Wray

Where did we go wrong
Don't know what to do
How to make things better
Can't stop loving you

You look like I'm invisible
Don't want me you say
Baby I love you
Stop pushing me away

Hold me, move me
Help me go through it
Hold me, oh baby, you can make me do it

I need you here
Close to me tonight
Not asking for forever
Baby just one more time

Dancing in the mirror
Feeling so blue
Don't matter who's right or wrong
All I want is you
Got me acting crazy
Playing the fool
But I would do anything
If I could still have you

How can I live without you
I've been loving you so long
You are my weakness
You keep me hangin' on
I need your arms to hold me
I'm afraid to be alone
Where am I
This empty house is not a home

Hold me, move me
Help me go through it

Hold me, oh baby
Only you can do it
I need you here close to me tonight
I'm not asking for forever
Baby just one more time

You act like I'm invisible
You don't want me you say
Baby I love you, stop pushing me away
I need someone to hold me
Afraid to be alone
Where am I
This empty house is not a home

Down on my knees
Beggin' baby please
I love you
Where did we go wrong


17.Workin' Overtime

Lyrics:Nile Rodgers/C.Max
Music:Nile Rodgers/C.Max

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Boy, you've got to think
What your priorities are really all about
It's such a crazy - world
We're on the brink
There'll be no turning back once we've set out
So much left to - do
And so little time
Just read the news to say today's headlines
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Boy I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a - girl
I learned how to say
I will be proud I see
A me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

And when you want someone
I'll be there for you
And when you need someone - I'm dependable
When your world is falling apart
You can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternaty
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard


18.Your Love

Lyrics:David Friedman
Music:David Friedman

Sometimes when I'm sitting all alone
I think of things that I have done
And start to wonder if there's one thing
That means more than others I have known
And suddenly it's clear to me
Without your love where would I be

Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love

Through the years my dreams may come and go
For fortune is a fleeting time
And no one knows what time may bring
But through the highs and lows of it I'll know
That there's one thing of which I'm sure
The one thing I've been living for

Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love

Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love

I'll keep returning to the magic of your love
Your love
