A Body Of Work

Paul Anka A Body Of Work Lyrics
1.She's My Woman, She's My Friend

Words:Paul Anka
Music:Paul Anka

She's the core of my existence
Keeper of my heart
I show her no resistance
I know I'm not that smart

Turn my back on some things
My ego has its way
If I'm sure, I'm sure of one thing
In her life I'll always stay

She's the first breath in the morning
And the last breath I'm taking in the end
She's my woman, she's my friend

Laying there beside her
At the finish of my day
She knows what I'm thinking
I never have to say

She holds me for a moment
Her passion takes me in
I lose myself within her
Forgetting where I've been

She's the first breath in the morning
And the last breath I'm taking in the end
She's my woman, she's my friend

She speaks to me so gentle
When I can be so cruel
She's soft and sentimental
But she's nobody's fool

A strength within her silence
That sets my mind at ease
She penetrates my dark side
Brings me to my knees
She's the first voice I'll be hearing
in the end
She's my woman, she's my friend

I cry wuth her
I cry with her
Confide in her
Provide for her
I cry with her
Rely on her
I'd die for her
I'd cry for her
She's my woman

I think she knows me better
Than I'll ever know myself
Since the day I met her
There's been nobody else

Echoesof our memories
Remind me every day
I stop what I'm doing
I think of her and say

She's the first breath in the morning
And the last breath I'll be taking in the end
She's my woman, she's my friend

And I cry with her
I cry with her
confide in her
I provide for her
And I cry with her
I rely on her
I'd die for her
I cry with her

She's my woman
She's my woman
And I'd cry for hr
And I'd try for her
Cause she gives to me what I need
When I need something more
Than I can give to myself

She's my woman
She's my woman


2.It's Hard To Say Goodbye

(Paul Anka with Celine Dion)
There's something in your eyes
That's far too revealing
Why must it be like this
A love without feeling
Something's wrong with you, I know
I see it in your eyes
Believe me when I say
It's gonna be okay

I told you from the start
I won't be demanding (I won't be demanding)
If you'll have a change of heart
I'll be understanding (I'll be understanding)
When love becomes a broken heart
And dreams begin to die
Believe me when I say
We'll work it out someway

Chorus
I'll never try to hold you back
I wouldn't try controlling you
If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you
And if it's something else that you're looking for
I'll be the first to help you try
Believe me when I say
It's hard to say goodbye

We've lost that loving touch
We used to feel so much
I tried to hide the truth that's in my eyes
(A love without feeling)
And when I feel we're not in love
I know I'm losing you
Believe me when I say
We'll work it out someway

Chorus

If it's what you want, it's what I want
I want what's best for you

6.Do I Love You

Written:Yves Dessca/Maxine Piolot/Alain Chamfort/Michel Pe
Featuring:Anthea Anka
Words:Yves Dessca, Maxine Piolot, Alain Chamfort, Michel Pelay
Music:Yves Dessca, Maxine Piolot, Alain Chamfort, Michel Pelay
Artists:Paul Anka & Anthea Anka

Anthea:
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
As the might river flows
As the meadow gaily plays
With the wind on summer days

About as deep as deep can go
From the canyons to the sky
Like a mother as she cares
For the baby that she bears

Do I love you, don't you know by now
Do I love you, must I show you how
Do I love you, do I have to say
Do I love you, yes, in every way

Paul:
About as sacred as a hymn
And a bible filled with prayers
From a whisper to a roar
Very much and even more

Let me say it with my eyes
And I'll share it with the night
If in death the good Lord is kind
You'll be the last thing on my mind

Paul:
Do I love you, don't you know by now

Barry Gibb:
Do I love you, must show you now

Paul:
Do I love you, must I always say

Paul & Barry Gibb:
Do I love you, yes in every way

Instrumental

Paul:
I believe in you

Anthea:
Don't ever take your love away

Everyone:
Do I love you, don't you by now
Do I love you, must I show you how
Do I love you, do I have to say

Barry Gibb:
Do I love you

Paul:
Yes I love you in every way

Anthea:
Do I have to say

Barry Gibb:
I'm sending you love in every way

Paul & Anthea:
Every night, every day I think about you

7.You Are My Destiny



You are my destiny
You are what you are to me
You are my happiness
That's what you are

You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are

Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are

You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than happiness
That's what you are

11.MY WAY

Written:Paul Anka/Claude Francois Ravaux/Gilles Thibault

An now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I travelled each and every high-way
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
May I say 'not in a shy way'
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
It not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
