Heart and Soul

Vonda Shepard Heart and Soul Lyrics
1.World Without Love

Please lock me away
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
I don't care what they say,
Birds sing out of tune
And raindrops hide the moon
I'm ok, here I'll stay
I don't care what they say,
So I wait, and in a while
I will see my true love smile, yeah
He may come, I know not when
But when he does I'll know
So baby until then, lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
I don't care what they say,
So I wait and in a while,
I will see my true love smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I'll know
So baby until then, lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
I don't care what they say,
I don't care what they say,

2.What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted

Also recorded by Jimmy Ruffin
As I walk this land of broken dreams
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
Now what's become of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now

3.Vincent(Starry Starry Night)

performed by Vonda Shepard
On the album 'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'
Starry, starry night
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
They did not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

4.To Sir With Love

Title song from the film starring Sidney Poitier and Lulu
Originally recorded by Lulu in 1967
Recorded by Vonda Shepard and Al Green
on 'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn,
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I, would rather you let me give my heart
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are
gone, yeah
But in my mind I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
Those awkward years have hurried by, why did they fly, fly away?
Why is it Sir, children grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing trees,
And dirty knees, in the world outside?
If you wanted the world,
I'd surround it with a wall, I'd scrawl
These words with letters ten feet tall
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are
gone, yeah
Those awkward years have hurried by, why did they fly, fly away?
If you wanted the sky
If you wanted the moon
If you wanted the world,


5.This Old Heart Of Mine

Written by Sylvia Moy, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland, Jr. and
Lamont Dozier
Originally recorded by Rod Stewart with Ronald Isley
Also recorded by The Isley Brothers and Tammi Terrell
Recorded by Vonda Shepard on 'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally
McBeal'
Oh, this old heart of mine
Oh, this old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I feel you're gonna stay
Lonely nights that come,
Memories that flow
Bringing you back again,
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
Cause each day that passes by
I love you,
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
These old arms of mine
Miss having you around
Makes these tears inside
Start falling down, well
Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
So I try to control myself
I love you,
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
Oh I try to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always makes me cry
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're in for the day, gone for the week, now
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it,
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you

6.Sweet Inspiration

Originally recorded by The Sweet Inspirations
Recorded by Vonda Shepard on the Album
'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'
I need your sweet inspiration
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
A woman in love
Needs sweet inspiration
Yeah, and honey that's all I ask,
That's all I ask from you
I've gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
The way you call me baby, baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin', darlin'
Sets my heart to skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
Sweet inspiration
Oh what a power
And I've got the power
Every hour of the day
I need your sweet inspiration
To go on, to go on living
I need your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration

8.Read Your Mind

written by Vonda Shepard and Mitchell Froom
recorded by Vonda Shepard
appears on the album 'Heart and Soul:New Songs From Ally McBeal'
We held hands and laughed
We held hands and laughed
Then we jumped in the water
Off the jetty we'd fly
As the sun got hotter
We were any age
Floating through space
Happy for once in the human race
On this sweet Sunday, and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
Like a broken record
I've stayed protected
From promises, from disappointments
I wanna hear your dreams, wanna drift away
Wanna break you in
Oh I wanna stay
Stay in heaven, oh in heaven
And see my life finally begin
Will we be together, oh forever?
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
Oh I want to stay
In this sweet Sunday, and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
Has finally found me
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
If I could read your mind
If I could read your mind
(Na, na, na, na, na...)
If I could read your mind
(Na, na, na, na, na...)
(Na, na, na, na, na...)
Like a broken record
Oh I want to stay
If I could read your mind
If I could read your mind
If I could read your mind
If I could read your mind


9.I Know Him By Heart

written by Paul Williams and Jon Vezner
recorded by Vonda Shepard on the album
'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'
There's a secret path I follow
There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
Am I living in an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
'Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that he'll be waiting
'Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet

10.Crying

I was all right for a while,
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night,
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say 'Hello',
Oh you wished me well,
Crying over you,
Crying over you
When you said 'so long',
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying,
Crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
How the touch of your hand
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, oh so true
I love you even more
Than I did before,
But darling what can I do?
For you don't love me
Crying for you,
Crying for you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yes crying


11.Confetti

written by Vonda Shepard
recorded by Vonda Shepard
appears on the albums 'By 7:30'
and 'Heart and Soul:New Songs From Ally McBeal'
Skinny little brats
Skinny little brats
Walking down Avenue A
Dangling their cigarettes
Their Independence Day
Tears like filigrees
Wear them on their sleeves
Nobody's main squeeze
Poetry of ordinary life
Poetry of ordinary life
Is what I live for
They just wanna be seen
My words are like Confetti
My words are like Confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall onto the ground
So diaphanous, so ephemeral
And all those bad words
They never learned in school
Groovy like my mamma was
In her black turtle neck
She was so high strung
Poetry and tattooed dreams
And fourteen caret nose rings
The children of elite
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall onto the ground
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall onto the ground
I need someone to lift me up
Is what I live for
They just wanna be seen
My words are like Confetti
My words are like Confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall onto the ground
So diaphanous, so ephemeral
And you never pick them up
They fall onto the ground
So diaphanous, so ephemeral
My words are like confetti
So diaphanous, so ephemeral
My words are like confetti
Poetry of ordinary life
Poetry and tattooed dreams
My words are like Confetti


12.Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow

words:Vonda Shepard
music:Vonda Shepard & James Newton Howard
Recorded:Vonda Shepard and Emily Saliers on the album 'Heart and
Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'
I like the way you wanted me
I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken,
Do you say, do you say what you mean
But I'd rather you be more than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, do you mean what you say
Well I'd rather you be more than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home still thinking that we're together
I wanted our love to last forever
I'd rather you be more than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
more than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know

13.100 Tears Away

written:Paul Gordon and Vonda Shepard
recorded:Vonda Shepard on the album
'Heart and Soul:New Songs from Ally McBeal'

Go ahead and cry now
Just give in to the madness
The only way to feel your joy
Go ahead and sail now
Just give in to the ocean
The only way to tame your fear
You're a long way from somewhere you call home
All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
Go ahead and listen
Just give in to the voices
You think you're backed into a corner
You're a long way from some place you feel safe
All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
You're a long way from somewhere you call home
