Whitney Houston The Essential Whitney Houston Lyrics
1.Saving All My Love For You

Lyricist:Michael MasserGerry Goffin
Writer(s):Gerry GoffinMichael Masser

A few stolen moments, is all that we shared
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I try to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You use to tell me, we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling
When you walk through that door
Cause tonight is the night for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So, I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
No other women is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night
That I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So, I'm saving all my love
Yes, I'm savin all my loving
Yes, I'm saving all my love for you
For you
For you


2.Greatest Love Of All

Lyricist:Michael MasserLinda Creed
Writer(s):Linda CreedMichael Masser

I believe the children are our future,
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I lived as I believed.
No matter what they take from me they can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve learning to love yourself,
it is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believed
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself,
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love.


3.One Moment In Time

Lyricist:Albert HammondJohn Bettis
Writer(s):Albert HammondJohn Bettis

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free


4.I Have Nothing

Lyricist:David FosterLinda Thompson
Writer(s):David FosterLinda Thompson
Mixing:David Foster

Share my life
Take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do

I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you(you-oo, you-oo, you)

You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love(Mmm...)
I never knew
Love like I've known it with you
Will our memories survive?
One I can hold on to?

I don't really need to look
Very much further
I don't wanna have to go
Where you don't follow
I'm holding back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever

Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you


5.I Will Always Love You

Lyricist:Dolly PartonDavid Foster
Writer(s):Dolly Parton
Mixing:David Foster

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I will always love you
I will always love you

You, my darling you

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love

I will always love you
I, I will always love you
Darling I love you
I'll always, I'll always love you


6.Run To You

Lyricist:Allan RichJud J. Friedman
Writer(s):Allan RichJud J. Friedman

I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't ya hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh whoa what's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share them with
Tell me what does it mean

Run away, no
I need you here I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
No if you only knew how much I wanna run to you
Ya know I wanna run to you
Won't ya hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away


7.You Give Good Love

Lyricist:LalaKashif
Writer(s):Lala
Mixing:Kashif

I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone

Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see

That you give good love to me baby
So good, take this heart mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby you give good love

Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
It took some time for me to see

Now I, I can't stop looking around
It's not, what this loves all about
Our love is here to stay, stay


8.All At Once

Lyricist:Michael MasserJeffrey Osborne
Writer(s):Jeffrey OsborneMichael Masser

All at once,
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
Your not coming back
And it finally hit me
All at once

All at once
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered
All at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once,
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered
All at once

All at once
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories
All at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once
I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once


9.Where Do Broken Hearts Go

Lyricist:Frank WildhornC. Jackson
Writer(s):C. JacksonFrank Wildhorn

Oooh
I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only things I've learned
Is that I need you desperately
So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh

Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care for me, ooh

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No, you just can't run away
And what we had was so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
So here I am, and can you please tell me, oh

Now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know
Now I know, oh

For me
You still care for me


10.If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful

Lyricist:E. Willensky
Writer(s):E. Willensky

J:If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you
And if you could only see yourself
You'd feel the same way too
You could say that I am a dreamer
Who's had a dream come true
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you

W:Ooh...
If you wonder why I'm smiling
It's because I'm happy with you
And the warm sensations, touch my heart
And fill me through and through
I could hold you close forever
And never let you go
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because I just love you so

J:Oh...
Now my heart is an open door
W: Won't you come inside for more?
B: You can love so sweetly now
Take my love, take me completly now,
W: Oh...
If you say my eyes are beautiful
It's because they're looking at you
And my eyes are just the window, oh
For my feelings to come through
J: And by far, you are more beautiful
Than anything, I ever know
If you say my eyes are beautiful
W: If you say my eyes are beautiful
J: If you say my eyes, my
B: eyes are beautiful, Oh...
J: It's because
W: It's because
B: They're looking at you

(What a beautiful song!!!!)


11.Didn' t We Almost Have It All

Lyricist:Michael MasserW. Jennings
Writer(s):Michael MasserW. Jennings

Remember when we held on in the rain
The nights we almost lost it, once again
We can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You'll never let it end

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we almost have it all


12.All The Man That I Need

Lyricist:Dean PitchfordMichael Gore
Writer(s):Dean PitchfordMichael Gore

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt, to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same

He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down
He rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close
And won't let go, he won't let go


13.Exhale

Lyricist:Babyface
Writer(s):Babyface

Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale(yeah, yeah, say)

Shoop, shoop, shoop
Shoop be doop, shoop, shoop

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us, the when's or why's
When you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find your point when
You will exhale(yeah, yeah, say)

Shoop, shoop, shoop
Shoop be doop, shoop, shoop

ohh, Hearts are often broken
When there're words unspoken
In your soul there's answers to your prayers
If you're searching for a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there

Sometimes you'll laugh(and)
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us, the when's or why's
But when you've got friends, to wish you well
You'll find your point when
You will exhale(yeah, yeah, say)

Shoop, shoop, shoop
Shoop be doop, shoop, shoop

16.I Learned From The Best

Lyricist:Diane WarrenDavid Foster
Writer(s):Diane Warren
Mixing:David Foster

Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart one more time?
Oh no, no

Did you think I'd still care
That there'd be more feeling there?
Did you think you could walk back in my life?

So you found you miss the love you threw away
Baby but you found it out too late, too late

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you
Oh baby now
I learnt from you

I remember cold nights
Tears I thought would never dry
How you shattered my world, with your goodbye
Your goodbye baby

Would've sold my soul then
Just to have you back again
Now you are the last thing on my mind

Now you say you're sorry and you've changed your ways
Sorry but you changed your ways too late

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you
Oh baby, oh baby now
I learnt from you

So when all you've got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you
Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...

Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...
Who said goodbye...

And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you

And baby I learnt the way to break a heart
I learnt from the best
I learnt from you

I learnt from the best
I learnt from you

20.Fine

Lyricist:Raphael SaadiqKamaal Fareed
Writer(s):Kamaal FareedRaphael Saadiq

It's Fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

It's alright

Had a dream last night
That the world stopped turning
But your madness, it kept on
Guess I wasn't too bright
And I really wasn't learning
Should have seen it all along

All those sweet, sweet kisses and those sweet red roses
They convinced me that it was you
I made you exclusive
Now it's so conclusive
That you wasn't doing it too

If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
It would have been fine
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time
If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time

Something didn't feel right
And I wish I knew it
I just could not see your games
I got respect for you
And you put me through it
Why would you bring me so much pain

I would stil love for you,'cause I did adore you
While my dogs would chew you out
Tried to be so nice on those lonely nights
But I should have figured you out

If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
It would have been fine
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time
I would have had a good time
If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
It would have been you baby
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time

Baby you're so fine
You are the one that I saw
You are so fine
You're my...
Oh you're mighty fine
You're fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine
You are the one that I love
You're my...
You're fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine
Fine
You are the one that I love
Fine
You're my...
You're fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine-fine, fine

If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
If you told me
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time
Feel good time, feel good time, feel good time, feel good time
If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine
Had a real good time, boy now
Then I would have played too and I guess I would have had a good
time
I guess I would have had a good time
If you'd told me from the start that you're playing around
It would have been fine

21.My Love Is Your Love

Lyricist:Wyclef JeanJerry
Writer(s):Jerry
Mixing:Whitney Houston

If tomorrow is judgement day
And I'm standing on the front line
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you

If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if you're coming with me

Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleeping in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleeping with me

As the years they pass us by
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe

If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what the people say
I'll be waiting for you after judgement day

Friday night, you and your boys went out to eat, yeah

If six of y'all went out
Then four of you were really cheap
Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
Don't you dare come running back to me
It's not right, but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I'll pack your bags
So you can leave town for a week
The phone rings
And then you look at me
You said, it was one of your friends
Down on 54th St.
So why did 213
Show up on your caller I.D.

I've been through all of this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around
And take some more
Things are gonna change
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more tears left here
For you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
See I'm moving on
And I refuse to turn back
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for me

Well, there's a bridge and there's a river
That I still must cross
As I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost

And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
But no one told me just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
'Cause I'm taking it...

Step by step
Bit by bit
Stone by stone
Brick by brick

Step by step
Day by day
Mile by mile
Go your own way

And this old road is rough and ruined
So many dangers along the way
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles that I have to face

But I won't let my spirit fail me
But I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slow
Because I'm taking it...

Say baby, don't give up
You've got to hold on to what you've got
Oh, baby, don't give up
You've go to keep on moving
Don't stop

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade,
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away,
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, my loneliness calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town,
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take that chance,
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody,

To hold me in his arms, oh

There's a boy I know
He's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes
Takes me to the clouds above
Ooh, I lose control
Can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming
Tell me is it really love

How will I know
(Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know
(Love can be deceiving)
How will I know

How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you, what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy(can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now
Said, there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love

How will I know
(Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know

If he loves me, if he loves me not
Oh, how will I know

How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things

33.Greatest Love Of All

Lyricist:Michael MasserLinda Creed
Writer(s):Linda CreedMichael Masser

I believe the children are our future,
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I lived as I believed.
No matter what they take from me they can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve learning to love yourself,
it is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believed
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself,
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love.
