1.A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams and some day
Your rainbow will come shinin' through

No matter how your heart if grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin' through

No matter how your heart is grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true


2.Back In My Arms Again

All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches, you'll bring me one day, oh

I listened to my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights

Chorus:
Got you back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got you right back in my arms again
So satisfied

So easy for others to say, that i should let you go
They don't know how strong my love is
But i sure can't get along

It's time i live my life for me
Being happier than i ever knew i'd been
And each time we make romance
I'm thankful for a second chance

Chorus:

All day long i hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one i love, i should break away
Those heartaches you'll bring me one day

I listened to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights

Chorus:


3.Butterfly Kisses

there's two things i know for sure,
She was sent here from heaven,
And she's daddy's little girl.
As i drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to jesus and i close my eyes.
And i thank god for all the joy in my life,
But most of all, for...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
'walk beside the pony daddy,
Its my first ride.'
'i know the cake looks funny,
Daddy, but i sure tried.'
Oh, with all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma
A little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
From ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great
Big world. but i remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
'you know how much i love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on
The cheek this time.'
With all that i've done wrong,
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,
And i'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
Just staring at her,
She asked me what i'm thinking,
And i said 'i'm not sure,
I just feel like l'm losing my baby girl.'
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
'walk me down the aisle daddy, its just about time'
'does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?'
'daddy don't cry '
With all that i've done wrong, i must have
Done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask god for more, man, this is
What love is
I know i've gotta let her go, but i'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...


4.Can't Hold On, Can't Let Go

Every time i think of you
My heart starts movin' like a freight train
And having you is tearing me apart
I don't really need the pain, no

Sometimes i feel like leavin' for good
But i'm a fool who wouldn't leave you
Even if i could

Chorus:
(can't hold on, can't let go)
Can't hold on, can't let go
(can't hold on, can't let go)
I can't hold on, i can't let go

Every time you touch me, well you know
I feel the blood rushing through my veins
Girl you mean so much to me, that's the reason
Why you're driving me insane

Ooh, every night i'm losin' too much sleep
I can't give up, 'cause now i'm in too deep with you

Chorus:

I can't live with you, i can't live without you
I still don't know just what i'm going to do about you
Heart to heart, i'd never run away
It's time to part, but i can't say good-bye

I love you so much(can't hold on)
Need you so much(can't let go)
But you're tearing me apart(can't hold on)
Oh(can't let go)can't let go
(can't hold on)can't let go
(can't let go)oh no no


5.Don't Make Me Wait On Love

( duet with kenny g )
Sittin' here, just starin' at your picture
Waiting for your call
So unclear, i'm hanging on a notion
We could have it all
Time and time again, you tell me to be patient
But we can't let love slip away

Chorus:
Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness
Fall asleep alone
Give me a sign, a man's not suppose to face life
Standing on his own
When you're near me, i can't help but see forever
Come and rescue me tonight

Chorus:

Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't you see i need ya, gotta have ya
Oh baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh oh darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

Oh baby, don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for love this time
No no i need you right now, i need you right now
Oh darlin', a love like this, a love like this
Is so very hard to find, don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for love


6.Fool For Love

( duet with johnny hallyday-english version )

( johnny's part )
I'm coming out with my angel,
Put down your guns and i'll...confess.
I loved her more than life itself,
My angel in a pale blue dress.
But if you want to shoot, then shoot,
I'd welcome an eternal sleep.
No man has ever felt a love,
So deep.

( michael's part )
I took her life, her tender life,
I couldn't bear to think that she,
Could laugh and love and give herself,
To any other man than me.
So if my world would end tonight,
I will not cry...i do not care.
I'll meet her in another life,
Somewhere.

Chorus:
( johnny and michael )
I was a fool, a fool for love,
A fool who believed, that she came from above.
I'll stay a fool, until i die,
She was my world, my breath, my sky.
I'm just a fool, who lost all control,
Along with my soul.
In time the fool, becomes a clown,
And you all laugh, as i fall down.

( michael's part )
I'll never be at peace again,
I'll never feel her warm caress,
I'll leave each day just thinking of,
My angel in a pale blue dress.

( johnny's part )
And when her body's in the ground,
Make sure you save a space for me,
For that's the only place, i long to be.

Chorus:


7.Forever Eyes

I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And i was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when i thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......

Chorus:
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now i find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'cause i only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes

There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what i feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....

Chorus:

Forever eyes

Chorus:


8.Heart Of Mine

You say you're sure
You wanna stay with me
I don't think
You better play with me
You fool around i gotta lose
I don't need it

And pretty soon you want
Our love to last
I think your mind
Has got you moving too fast
So slow down you can't lose
You can have it
Anyway that you choose

Chorus:
You wanna know
So i'll tell you to your face
You don't play with
Love on the line
You wanna know
So i'll tell you to your face
You don't play with
This heart of mine

Why don't you come
Out of your fantasy
You can't afford to take
The chance with me
I'm telling you i can't lie
I don't need it

So let's forget about
The rest of you
'cause i already know
The best of you
You're alright you can't lose
You can have it
Anyway that you choose
( repeat )

You say you're sure
You wanna stay with me
I don't think
You better play with me
Just slow down you can't lose
You can have it
Anyway that you choose
( repeat 2 times )

This heart of mine


9.Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
'you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me.'
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, 'hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair.'
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

Shifty henry said to bugs, 'for heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break.'
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, 'nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.'
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.


10.Love Shouldn't Hurt

Born in pure innocence
Born without fear

She says 'mommy what did i do wrong,
To make you cry your angry tears?'

Feeling dirty and ashamed
Keeps making up excuses
She's learned how to hide the pain
But she can't hide the bruises anymore

There's no light behind her eyes
She's tryin' to find love in a strangers touch
14 years old and so alone
Desperate for what she needs so much

(michael) she cries herself to sleep at night
And prays she won't wake up...
Love shouldn't hurt
Love shouldn't scar
But sometimes we can be so blind
To the way things really are
Love can be so unkind
Truth is that hearts get broken every day
But love should never hurt this way...

Children having children
And growing up too fast

If you've never been shown love
How can you give love back?

Her newborn baby's cryin'
It's more than she can stand

She doesn't see the tragedy
When she raises her own hand

There's no light behind her eyes
She doesn't realize what she has done
Didn't think she was being so rough

Little one won't you please wake up?

Chorus x2

...but love should never hurt this way...


11.Once In A Lifetime

People fill their lives, with empty nights,
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time, but never find,
The open arms of fate
One moment comes along, someone who's a dream to you,
All at once your dreams come true

Chorus:
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one love
you find
Just once in a lifetime

Some people live their lives in compromise,
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance, within their hands,
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need, to hold the hand of destiny,
Find the love that's meant to be

Chorus:

If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart, when that moment comes along
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading you home to the one love you
find
Just once in a lifetime, just once in a lifetime


12.One More Time

Don't look back
Don't be scared
We've got dreams and we're still young
Just think about how far we've come
Think of all
We have shared
It's a wonder we survive
But here we are and we're alive!
Can we hold on, hold on?
Take a moment to celebrate
Now before we are gone
Take a moment to celebrate
There's music in the wind
Let's dance one more time
There's a rhythm deep within
Let's dance one more time

(chorus)

One more time
Sing the song
There's a power in our voices
Hopeful and strong

Years from now
Somewhere down the line
We'll remember and we'll all sing
One more time

(zulu chant)
See cel la bo lay la
(trans.we will sing.)


13.Said I Love You...but I Lied

You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus
Said i loved you but i lied
'cause this is more than love i feel inside
Said i loved you but i was wrong
'cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said i loved you but i lied

With all my soul i've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, i need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Chorus

Said i loved you
But this is more than love i feel inside
Said i loved you....but i lied


14.The Dock Of The Bay

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then i watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in georgia
Headed for the frisco bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So i guess i'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, i roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time


15.Voice Of My Heart

Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh ooh ooh

Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can i say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can i do, to prove what i'm feelin' for you
Oh, i could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe

Chorus
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart

Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can i do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, i would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that i need
To hold you and make you believe

Chorus

Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until i can make you believe

Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart

Chorus

(listen to the voice of my heart) baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me


16.Voices That Care

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange

I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
But i won't turn my back again
You're only around the bend
So hurry home till then...till then

Chorus:
Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Hurry home

I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before

Just can't let ya feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We send it out to you
(michaels' solo)
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way

We pray, to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
Right or wrong
We're all prayin' you remain strong
That's why we're all here and singin' along

Chorus:

(michaels' solo) voices that care are cryin' out loud, yeah
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

You are the voice, you are the light

Chorus:

Stand tall, stand tall
(michael) stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
They're crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
Ooh, and when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright


17.When There Are No Words

All of this time
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do i describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones i've never found
Oh girl, there's so much i mean to say
And i'll keep tryin'
Till i finally find a way

Chorus
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all

And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all i see that means everything to me

Chorus
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch

Chorus
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words


18.You Are My Sunshine

The other night dear, as i lay sleeping
I dreamed i held you in my arms
When i awoke, dear, i was mistaken
So i hung my head and i cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much i miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

Chorus

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:

Chorus
