Michael Ball Always Lyrics
1.A Song For You

(russell)

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, i've made some bad rhymes.
I lighted up my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you.

I know your image of me is what i hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see
No one's more important to me
But darling, can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you.

Chorus:
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and i was hiding
Now's i'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'cause my love is in there hiding.

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You're a friend of mine
When my life is over
We were alone
And i was singing this song for you.

Chorus

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you -- in my life, you're a friend of mine
When my life is over
We were alone and i was singing this song for you

We were alone and i was singing this song for you.


2.A House Is Not A Home

(bacharach/david)

A chair is still a chair
Even when no one is not sitting there
But a chair is not a house
A house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then i call you name
And suddenly a face appears
But it's just a crazy game
That when it ends
It ends in tears

Oh, so darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
A hurt man to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When i climb the stairs and turn the key
Please be there
Still in love with me

Oh darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
A hurt man to live alone
Turns this house into a home
When i climb the stairs and turn the key
Please be there
Still in love with me

Still in love with me


3.If I Can Dream

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in the sky more blue
If i can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why can't my dream come true
Oh why?

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds are promise that will blow away
The doubt and fear
If i can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why won't that sun appear?

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's trouble with pain
As long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and climb

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still i am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark
There's a beckoning candle here
While i can think, while i can talk
While i can stand, while i can walk
While i can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
If i can dream right now
I say, if i can dream
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Let it come true
Right now


4.Cry Me A River

(a. hamilton) warner chappell music ltd.

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me,.
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me and...
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me and...
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on and cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...


5.You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

(wickham/napies/bell/donaggio/pallavicini)

When i said i needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed, but you
And now you've gone away

Don't you know that now you''ve gone
And i'm left here on my own
Then i have to follow you
And beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me, i'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me!

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, oh..believe me
Believe me!


6.Someone To Watch Over Me

(l. gershwin/g gershwin) warnerchappell music ltd.
There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
Seek and we shall find
So i'm gonna seek a certain girl i have in mind
Looking everywhere,haven't found her yet
She's the big affair,i cannot forget
Only girl i ever thinkof with regret...
I would like to addmy initials to her monogram
Oh.. tell me where isthe shepperd
For this lost lamb
There's a somebody i'mlonging to see
I hope that she turnsout to be
Someone who watch overme
Well, i'm a little lambwho's lost in the wood
I know i could alwaysbe good
To one who'li watchover me
Although i may not bethe man
Some girls think ofas handsome
To her heart i'll carrythe key
Oh.. won't you tellher, please,
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how i need...
Someone to watch overme...
Someone to watch overme.


7.On Broadway

(barry mann/cynthia weil/mike stoller/jerry lieber)

Com'on! .. two, three
They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
When you're walking down that street
You ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the girls are something else on broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'cause how you gonna make sometime
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that i won't last too long on broadway
I'll catch the greyhound bus for home
They all say
They're all wrong
I know they are
'cause i can play this here guitar
And i won't quite till i'm a star on broadway
On broadway, on broadway,on broadway
On braodway


8.Tell Me There's A Heaven


9.Always On My Mind

Maybe i didn't treat you
Quite as good as i should have
Maybe i didn't love you
Quite as often as i could have
Little things i should have said and done
I justs never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe i didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And i guess i never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If i make you feel second best
Girl, i'm sorry i was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things i should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Maybe i didn't treat you
Quite as good as i should have
Maybe i didn't love you
Quite as often as i could have
Maybe i didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And i guess i never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Maybe i didn't..


10.You'll Never Know

(h. warren/m. gordon )/ warner chappell music ltd.


You'll never know just how much i miss you
You'll never know just how much i care
And if i tried, i still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't i told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that i love you
I swear i don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You said good-bye,
The stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me
It's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that i love you
I swear i don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now


11.Stormy Weather


12.You Made Me Love You

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me love you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it.

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times dear
Oh you made me feel so bad

You made me cry cuz
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I need a love thats true
Yes i do, deed i do, you know i do

I don't care what happens
When the whole world stops
As far as i'm concerned
You'll always be the tops cause
You know you made me love you

You made me cry cuz
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I need a love thats true
Yes i do, deed i do, you know i do

Gimme, gimme, gimme, what i cry for
You got the kinda kisses
That i would die for
You know you made me love you
Oh, you know you made me love you
