Natalie Cole Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.A Smile Like Yours

Hmm, thought i'd seen everything there was to see in this world

Now i'm not so sure i've really seen anything at all

I thought life could show me no surprises

And then you came and showed me i was wrong

I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry

I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my
life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but i've never seen a smile

As beautiful as yours, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, i thought i'd been
everywhere

I've climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky

And still i was nowhere at all, until that day, oh, you came to
my senses

And your smile, it made sense out of it all, (i have seen the
bluest skies)

Rainbows that would make you cry, i have seen miracles

(miracles that moved me soul) that moved my soul, days that
changed my life,

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Seen all the wonders of the world, but i've never seen a smile
as beautiful as yours

(smile so beautiful) so beautiful, comes one time in a lifetime

A smile this beautiful, (a smile this beautiful) i've never
dreamed i'd ever see, oh

(i have seen the bluest skies) i have seen it, (rainbows that
would make you cry)

That would make you cry, i've seen miracles (miracles) moved my
soul,

(days that changed my life) and days that changed my life

I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark

Oh, i've seen the wonders of this world (wonders of the world)

But i've never seen a smile (never seen a smile before as
beautiful as yours)

Oh, i've never seen a smile before, (never seen a smile before
as beautiful)

As beautiful as yours.


2.A Song For You

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs and i've made some bad climbs

I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people
watching

Oh, 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've treated you
unkindly

Oh, but darling can't you see that, there's no one more
important to me

Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now

And i'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets

Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front

When i was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better

If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the
melody

'cause my love is in there somewhere hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time, i love
you for my life

You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over

Remember, remember, remember when we were together

And we are alone now, and i was singing this song to you

We were alone, and i was singing, yeah singing

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

Singing my song, i'm singing my song for you

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo


3.Angel On My Shoulder

Written:natalie cole and richard marx

I never thought i'd ever make it, i can't believe the hell i've
been through

Couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, i didn't know
what to do

I've been through the rain, i've been through the fire

There was something that i never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Must be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there all the
time

(angel, must be an angel) this world can be so cold and so
heartless

Its hard to find your way alone, i used to run so fast, no one
could catch me

I couldn't find the way back home, but i've laughed, i've cried

I almost died, but my broken heart just never knew

Chorus

I had an angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an angel on my shoulder, who was right there

Right there all the time, everybody needs someone to cling to

With an unchanging love, i finally found a hand to hold on to

A shelter to run to, now i see he's watching over me

Chorus

(angel on my shoulder, angel) i've got an (angel on my shoulder)

Angel on my shoulder, with a plan for me divine

Got to be an (angel on my shoulder), angel on my shoulder

Who was right there, right there, right there all the time

Got to be an angel, an angel, an angel, right there all the time


4.As A Matter Of Fact

Written:s. garrett & d. boyette

Blow daddy, aww, yeah

Here we are, standing at the hard line

We made it last this long

The two of us, together since the first time

And i believe our love is still strong

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And i love that you love me back

As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)

But they don't talk no more (no more)

The love we share is precious as a big star

And what we have's what others hope for

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I need you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And i'm glad that you need me back

Let me look at you, just look at you

You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are

I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on

But those days away from you are past

'cause when i go through the day and i haven't seen your face

Seems like nothing that i do feels right

You're the one i wanna see when i wake up every day

You're the one i wanna kiss goodnight

That's just one of the things i've missed

You better kiss me once again 'til it finally settles in

Well, i think i could get used to this

Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back, real

9.I Wish You Love

English
lyrics:albert a. beach
French
lyrics:charles l. trenet
music:charles l. trenet

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins

This is where our story ends

Never lovers, ever friends

Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day

But before you walk away

I sincerely want to say

I wish you bluebirds in the spring

To give your heart a song to sing

And then a kiss, but more than this

I wish you love

And in july a lemonade

To cool you in some leafy glade

I wish you health

But more than wealth

I wish you love

My breaking heart and i agree

That you and i could never be

So with my best

My very best

I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

I wish you love

I wish you love, love, love, love, love

I wish you love


10.I Won't Deny You

Written:chuck jackson and marvin yancy

Hmm...., well, well, well, well, well

The mailman smiled as he handed me the news, tell you chil'

I nearly jumped out of my shoes, the postcard read returning
home tonight

My body jumped with pure delight, i know you're gonna need

Some tender lovin' care, whatever you need you know i'll be
right there

(honey i won't deny you) that's one thing honey, that i'll
never, never do

(honey, i won't deny you) you took care of me, i'll take of you

(doot, doot, doo, doo, doo) now when i'm down (repeat doo, doo)

You make me feel better, and your love for me really keeps me
together

Come rain or shine, night or day, whenever you call me it'll be
okay

If you wanna stop by 'cause you're in the neighborhood

Or if you want me to make you feel real good (repeat honey i
won't deny you)

Oh, no (i won't deny you) that's one thing i'll never do to you

You took care of me, i'll take care of you (doot, doot, doo,
doo, doo)

You know my body hungers for you and i know that's right

And when i can't get it, i get so uptight, here by my side

Is where you aught to be if you bring your lovin' home to me

(repeat honey i won't deny you) i, that's one thing i'll never
do to you

I won't, cause you took care of me and i'll take care of you,
oh, yeah, yeah

Musical interlude

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, (i won't deny you, i won't deny you)

Here by my side is where you aught to be, if you bring your
lovin' home to me

I (i won't deny you, honey i won't deny you) that's one thing
i'll never do, no

(i won't deny you) i, i won't deny you, i won't deny you, i
won't deny you,

(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) i won't deny you


11.I'm Catchin' Hell

Written:chuck jackson and marvin yancy

Tonight, i, i just want to talk to the ladies, oh fellows your
cool but girls

If you've got a good man, you'd better keep him,

Oh i know you're saying right now, what does she know

Who is she to tell me about my situation, well, i don't know
your situation

But whatever it is, you should try to stay together

You know that big argument that you had the other night,
remember

Well, today its not nothing, just don't let him leave you honey

Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things
you loved about him

It was the real small things, go on and laugh but its true

You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the
house

But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries

And helping in the yard and painting and repairing and huh,
paying the bills

But you know now, all i have is memories and regrets

I could have given our love a chance to grow but no

I had to challenge it and be heard (oh), let me tell you
something

That female liberation stuff, i don't know, sometimes i don't
think its worth it

And i'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad yaul, i'm catching
hell living here alone

Hmm, i never realized, oh lord, that you mean so much to me

I'm catching hell living here alone, i want you to come back
baby

Come back cause here's where you belong, oh yeah

If i could replay, if i could replay that whole scene again, oh
well

You know that i would never, never say it again, that our love,
our love is at its end

And oh, you know that i would kind of ease on back, yes i would

And let confusion pass on by, i took moves well, oh yeah

Without one good reason why, i'm catching hell, catching hell

Lord i'm living, living, living here alone, alone, lone, i
didn't believe it could be

You know all the pressure on me, all the time, oh, i'm catching
hell, well, well

Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell
you the truth

To tell you the truth i'm going out of my mind---, yeah, oh do
you hear me tonight

I don't have too (this is my story) much more to say except

Somebody (hey, this is my song) told me that if you've got
something

That's good to you and you don't use it (sad, sad) you might
lose it (sad, song)

(song, so sad) so girls hold on to your good thing (oh), (you
gotta hold on a little bit now)

And don't let go, oh---do you hear me tonight, it's so sad
living alone

Living alone (hmm), hold on to your good thing, hold on, (well,
well) oh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah---oh, oh, oh, lordy, lordy do you know what its
like

Catching hell, (somebody turn up the microphone, oh---), oh, no,
no, no, no, no, no

13.Let There Be Love

Lyrics:ian grant
music:lionel rand

Let there be you, let there be me

Let there be oysters under the sea

Let there be wind, occasional rain

Chili con carne, and sparkling champagne

Let there be birds to sing in the trees

Someone to bless me whenever i sneeze

Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove

But first of all, please

Let there be love

Musical interlude

(scat)

Let there be birds to sing in the trees

I need someone to bless me whenever i sneeze

Let there be cuckoos, cuckoos

A lark and a dove

But first of all, please

Let there be love

Oh let there be love ya'll

Ooh we gotta have some, really gotta have some

We need love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

Say we need a little bit of love, little bit, little bit of love

(scat)

Really need a little bit

(scat)

colored sky

Flash, bam, alakazam, wonderful you came by, i was humming a
tune,

Drinking in sunshine, when out of that orange colored view

Dust myself off, and start all over again, don't lose your
confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip, just pick yourself up, and dust

22.Reverend Lee

This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern
baptist minister

Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a
lady who lets him know

That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee

Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord

About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he
lay sleeping

She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was
twisting and turning, hmm

She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting,
breathing, ooh, ah, ah

Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that i love you child, but i
would not even, no, no,

Place god above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high

Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord
please don't test me

Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy

And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then god rolled the
thunder

And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry

Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew
louder

Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, god cannot be
petitioned

Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said
in that dry voice

Your god will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from
the water

And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter

And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee

She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh,
reverend lee

(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), i don't want
nobody else to do it

Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

(say you love me) say, just say you love me

little tough

24.Snowfall On The Sahara

Your love like wine

Tasting sweeter to me everyday

Your kiss, divine and it melts the cold inside away

All of my life i've been waiting for a love like this

And now that you're here, romance is just a second away

It's gonna stay

Till the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over

Till the mojave red turns into blue

When my lungs get tired of breathing

And my heart stops its beating

Then i'll stop loving you

And if the dark, when there's no one calling out your name

Well i'll hold you so tight

And i'll whisper to you once again and again

When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over

When the mojave red turns into blue

When the music's no longer playing and the faithless stop
praying

I'll stop loving you

When the snowfalls on the sahara (oh, oh)

And the sun freezes over

When the mojave red turns into blue (that's a long time)

When my lungs get tired of breathing

And my heart stops its beating

I'll stop loving you

I don't wanna miss a single heartbeat

Sometimes my words get in the way

But i hear your love just fine---

Just fine-----

And its gonna take a long time

When the snowfalls on the sahara and the sun freezes over

When the mojave red turns into blue (that's a long time)

When the music's no longer playing and the faithless stop
praying

I'll stop loving you

(repeat chorus)


25.Sorry

We used to be so very happy and we used to have so much fun

And we used to spend our time together, we were as close as

Wanna say i'm sorry, darling, i'm so sorry

And if i said anything that i shouldn't have said, i'm sorry,

26.Stand By

You've got to learn, you've got to learn how to follow the
leader

You've got to turn, turn off your pride and you're life will be
sweeter

Love comes from god, surely, surely, surely you can see that

If you check out your heart, there's a part that you're keeping
from me

Why don't you hold on tight, make this flight, we've got the
whole night

Saddle up your gear, have no fear, we are here, hey

Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me

Come on and stand by, cause there is no time, no time to sit

american academy of music, mills music, ascap

The buzzert took the monkey for a ride in the air

The monkey thought that everything was on a square

The buzzert tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said 'now listen jack'

Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in divin,' what's the use of jivin'

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa don't you blow your top

28.Take A Look

Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself

But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the
person

That you hate the most, lord, what's happening to this human
race

I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and
sisters wink their eyes

While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at
your children

Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a
real chance

To build a better world, oh! dear lord what's happening to your
precious dream

I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a
look at your children

Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the
prize is hate

Oh, no, no, no it's not too late, we gotta tell all of our
children

That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah

Words:geo david weiss and joe sherman
Music:geo david weiss and joe sherman

(if i had to choose just one day)

If i had to choose just one day to last my whole life through

It would surely be that sunday; the day that i met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills

Summer was a coming in but fast

Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills

Nodding all together, i can almost hear them whisper

Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him

If i had to choose one moment to live within my heart

It would be that tender moment recalling how we started

Darling it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that sunday, that summer

Musical interlude

Go on kiss him; go on and kiss him

And if i had to choose just one moment

To live within my heart it would surely be that moment

Recalling how we started

Darling it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that sunday, that summer

(if i had to choose just one day)
