Past To Present

Toto Past To Present Lyrics
1.Love Has The Power

There is too much hatred, there is too much starvation, too much
inhumanity

Some people get the kicks out of throwing bricks at me
No real reason, just jealousy
Angry words and bad attitudes is gonna get you nowhere

Watching you watching me, it's alright, 'cos I will make it
right

Chorus:
Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love is a fire, a burning desire, it's so warm (oh)

Some believe in the almighty dollar, some don't believe in
nothing at all
There's a power that's within you, it will never never ever let
you down

I'm the way, I'm the key to liberty and unity, are you listening

Chorus

One hundred million voices singing (can you hear the voices
singing)
No weak, no strong, no right, no wrong - imagine (you gotta keep
imagining)
Impossible, the sceptics say,wait and see there's gonna come a
day

Chorus

Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on
Love has the power, it's strong as a tower you can lean on

There's no difference between black or white, the light of life
I can hear the children laughing
Men at war, stop your worries, give peace a chance, there's a
new day dawning
Come together, come together, come together
(Wisdom is the mouth of peace, of innocence)


2.Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards
salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, 'Hurry boy, it's waiting there for
you'

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that
I've become

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in
Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in
Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


3.Hold The Line

It's not in the way that you hold me, it's not in the way you
say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that
you'll do

Chorus:
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that
you'll do

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that
you'll do

Chorus - love isn't always on time

Hold the line, love isn't always on time -
love isn't always, love isn't always on time
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, love isn't always on
time
Love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh


4.Out Of Love

Paint me a picture of two lovers, show me the lovers torn apart

You made me fall in love with you, the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped, and so did our love

I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute who has all for a
lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you

Chorus:
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love
you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot
change
And I would be a liar baby, if I told you I didn't care
'Cos it makes a difference, baby when you're not there

Chorus

I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love
you
When I see your face, my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's what's calling your name

I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, I just wanna hold
you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love


5.Georgy Porgy

It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your
love

Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told
you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Just think how long I've known you, it's long for me to own you,
lock and key
It's really not confusing, I'm just the young illusion, can't
you see

I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry

(In strumental break)

It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your
love

Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told
you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them high

Georgy Porgy
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them high
Georgy Porgy
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry


6.I'll Be Over You

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you

Chorus


7.Can You Here What I'm Saying

The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity

Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
While the press of a button can shake the world to its knees

Chorus:

Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

There are those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny

Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our lungs are chocking from beathing air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
I say it's time we make a restitution, yes

Chorus - can you hear me now

Chorus repeats 2x

Can you hear me now, I am calling out to you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out
to you)

There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long,
how long

Can you hear what I'm saying

Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa


8.Rosanna

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me,
Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Chorus:
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the
other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad,
Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Chorus

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah


9.I Won't Hold You Back

If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

Chorus:
You know I won't hold you back now, the love we had just can't
be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time
to think about the years that you were mine
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Chorus
(Instrumental break)
You know I won't hold you back now,
the love we had just can't be found
Listen to me baby
You know I can't hold you back now


10.Stop Loving You

Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well-intended lies, contemplating alibies
Is it really you, or is it me I'm blaming
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone, I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

There's a window in a heart, I've tried to look through from the
start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new, another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing

I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can't be
that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

(Instrumental break)

Dancing with that look that's in your eyes
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, Loving you...


11.99

99
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh 99
I love you

99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you

Chorus:
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know I love you 99

99
You keep holding my hand
Oh 99
They don't know who I am
Oh 99
I love you

99
I can't take it no more
Oh 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh 99
I love you

Chorus


12.Pamela

Oh! Yeah.

Side by side, I'll be yours forever
Rain or shine, any kind of weather
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old and make it new

Oh, eye to eye, it's a blinding confrontation
You and I, we're a deadly combination
So don't start mixing truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear as far as I can see

Chorus:
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all
behind

Black and white always go together
Day and night you're the precious juwel I treasure
Wanting every part of you is not a crime
Or could it be that you're the one who's wrong this time

Chorus:
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all
behind

(Instrumental break)

All that I love (all that I love)
Thousands of miles away, but always in my heart

Chorus:
Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all
behind


13.Animal

I never felt like this with someone, I never knew I could feel
this way at all
Predestination by appointment, storybook realities are coming
true
I was scared, you look so helpless, the lust was dressed in good
disguise

I took you on to meet my mother
Just like me, she fell straight in love with you
You took me to your own apartment, was it me or does the night
do things to you
You read from Venus and Adonis, so honey how could I resist

C'mon baby we've got tonight, no one loses when two tigers
fights
I lift you up, never let you down
I'll be the jester, babe, and you'll be the crown
We're instinctively impulsive, we're animals

A body like yours should be arrested, honey I should be locked
up in a cage
We are flesh, we are carnal cut, oh we are human
Oh babe got these eyes we can't contend
Smoke alarm is going off again, I guess I'm gonna have to cool
you down

Say come on baby, we've got tonight, no one loses when two
tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice, so come on baby melt me ooh so
nice
Instinctively impulsive, we're animals

(Instrumental break)

Some girls may turn me up, but only you, baby, turn me on
When we touch it's so explosive, it seems my life's been leading
to this

Say come on baby, we've got tonight, no one loses when two
tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice, so come on baby melt me ooh so
nice
Is it rhythm, is it magic, we're animals

Ooh baby, we're animals
