I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

Missing you - Diana Ross

Since you've been away

I've been down and lonely

Since you've been away

I've been thinking of you

Trying to understand

The reason you left me

What were you going through?

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

As I look around

I see things that remind me

Just to see you smile

Made my heart fill with joy

I'll still recall

All those dreams we shared together

Where did you run to, boy?

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Sometimes I've wondered

I didn't understand

Just where you were trying to go

Only you knew the plan

And I tried to be there

But you wouldn't let me in

But now you've gone away boy

I feel so broken hearted

I knew the day we started

That we were meant to be

If only you'd let me!

I've cried so many tears

Gotta face now all my fears

We let time slip away

I need you boy

Here today!

There was so much you gave me

To my heart

To my soul

There was so much of your dreams

That were never told

You had so much hope

For a brighter day

Why were you my flower

Plucked away

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Theme From Mahogany - Diana Ross

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

Do you get

What you're hoping for

When you look behind you

There's no open door

What are you hoping for?

Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time

Chasing the fantasies

That filled our minds

You knew how I loved you

But my spirit was free

Laughin' at the questions

That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've planned

We let so many dreams

Just slip through our hands

Why must we wait so long

Before we'll see

How sad the answers

To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to?

Do you know?

Do you get

What you're hoping for

When you look behind you

There's no open door

What are you hoping for?

Do you know?

Abba - The Day Before You Came:

Fragile - Sting

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

How fragile we are how fragile we are

Released : February 25, 1988

Label : Arista

Length : 4:38

Recorded : 1986

Format : CD single, Cassette single, 7" single

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 learned

Is that I need you desperately

So here I am

And can you please tell me, oh

[Chorus]

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

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 have is 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

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

And 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

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

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, for me

You still care for me

Wonderful Life by Black

Lyrics:

 

Here I go out to see again
the sunshine fills my hair
and dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
you know it feels unfair
there's magic everywhere

Look at me standing
here on my own again
up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
it's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
it's a wonderful, wonderful life

Sun in your eyes
the heat is in your hair
they seem to hate you
because you're there
and I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
to make me happy
not stand here on my own

Look at me standing
here on my own again
up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
it's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
it's a wonderful, wonderful life

I need a friend
oh, I need friend
to make me happy
not so alone.......
Look at me here
here on my own again
up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
it's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
it's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to run and hide
it's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
it's a wonderful, wonderful life
wonderful life, wonderful life

Why ~ Annie Lennox

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for the things I've done

But when I start to try to tell you

That's when you have to tell me

Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun

I tell myself too many times

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me...

Why

Why

I may be mad

I may be blind

I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard is said too many times

That you'd be better off

Besides...

Why can't you see this boat is sinking

(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge

And we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out turning inside out

Tell me...

Why

Tell me...

Why

This is the book I never read

These are the words I never said

This is the path I'll never tread

These are the dreams I'll dream instead

This is the joy that's seldom spread

These are the tears...

The tears we shed

This is the fear

This is the dread

These are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel ?

'cause i don't think you know how I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

You don't know what I feel

There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) ~ Annie Lennox

No one on earth could feel like this

Im thrown and overblown with bliss

There must be an Angel

Playing with my heart

I walk into an empty room

And suddenly my heart goes boom

Its an orchestra of Angels

And theyre playing with my heart

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

No one on earth could feel like this

Im thrown and overblown with bliss

There must be an Angel

Playing with my heart

And when I think that Im alone

It seems theres more of us at home

Its a multitude of Angels

And theyre playing with my heart

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

Must be talking to an Angel

I must be hallucinating

Watching Angels celebrating

Could this be activating

All my senses dislocating?

This must be a strange deception

By celestial intervention

Leaving me the recollection

Of your Heavenly connection

No one on earth could feel like this

Im thrown and overblown with bliss

There must be an Angel

Playing with my heart

And when I think that Im alone

It seems theres more of us at home

Its a multitude of Angels

And theyre playing with my heart

One Word - Anouk

 

...I didn't do a thing to make you stay,

...I didn't do a thing,

or say a word,

one word.

 

...and I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone,

no beautiful goodbye, you will never leave my mind...

...now you're, you're a star in heaven.
