Vanessa Rubin Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Close Enough For Love

Lyricist:Johnny Mandel, Paul H. Williams

You and I, an unmatched pair
Took the time to touch, to share
Worlds apart the night we met
We braved the odds and won the bet

Not perfect yet
But close enough for love

How old-fashioned, pure romance
We shared a kiss, we shared the dance
We shared the body and bouquet
And we'll taste the wine another day

When you and I
Are close enough for love

Not just lovers, more than friends
Who knows where one starts and one ends
Tracing lights through sleepless nights
That I'll remember always, always

Long goodbyes and tearful looks
Hold up well in poems and in books
But you and I have life to hold
The greatest story never told

Not perfect yet
But close enough for love


2.Livin' Without A Heart

Lyricist:Gary Taylor

You stayed right here for me inspite of what I did to you
You were right here baby
You were always ready and willing to fill my needs
But I was always on the moon, yes, I was

Time has allowed me to heal
And start my life over again
I'm reaching for ways to say I'm so so sorry baby
Help me find a way to begin

Didn't think that I could ever learn to trust
Didn't realize you could ever mean so much
I was so afraid at the thought of getting burnt
Now I'm living out, another love lesson learned

And it's telling me

'Cause you'll never get to feel the fire of love
You're livin' without a heart

Stop, love doesn't work when you're afraid
And you can't keep going from day to day
You're livin' without a heart

How could I have known
Love was in the palm of my hands, yes, it was
I could always turn my back, baby
Things I didn't understand

Didn't think that I could ever learn to trust
Didn't realize you could ever mean so much
I was so afraid at the thought of getting burnt
Now I'm living out, another love lesson learned

And it's telling me

'Cause you'll never get to feel the fire of love
You're livin' without a heart

I pretend that's he's here for you to choose
You're livin' without a heart

Didn't think that I could ever learn to trust
Didn't realize you could ever mean so much
I was so afraid at the thought of getting burnt
Now I'm living out, another love lesson learned

And it's telling me

'Cause you'll never get to feel the fire of love
You're livin' without a heart

I pretend that's he's here for you to choose
You're livin' without a heart

Stop running to another place, another time
Looking for what you never defined
You're livin' without a heart

I'm telling myself he's here for you to choose
You're livin' without a heart


3.All For One

Lyricist:T Robinson, Vanessa Rubin, Wayne Shorter

When days are done and gone the sun
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Feel your passions burn, for tides to turn
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil

All for one, one for all's the message
Keep you strong, standing tall
Forever facing fears, drying tears
Together, hear me!

A nation torn by courage born
Believe in your people just speak no evil
Just speak no evil

When days are done and gone the sun
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
You will come to see your destiny
You must believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil

All for one, one for all's the message
Keep you strong, standing tall
Forever facing fears, drying tears
Together, hear me!

The lines are drawn, which side are you on
Believe in your people, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil, just speak no evil
Just speak no evil
