lyrics from 19 ballads

1. Stephen Bishop - It might be you (Theme from the movie 'Tootsie')

Time... I've been passing time watching trains go byAll of my life...Lying on the sand, watching seabirds flyWishing there would beSomeone waiting home for me...

Something's telling me it might be youIt's telling me it might be you...All of my life...

Looking back as lovers go walking past...All of my lifeWondering how they met and what makes it last

If I found the placeWould I recognize the face?Something's telling me it might be youYeah, it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to takeSo many dreams to wakeAnd we've so much love to make

I think we're gonna need some timeMaybe all we need is time...And it's telling me it might be youAll of my life...

I've been saving love songs and lullabiesAnd there's so much moreNo one's ever heard before...

Something's telling me it might be youYeah, it's telling me it must be youAnd I'm feeling it'll just be youAll of my life...It's you..It's you...I've been waiting for all of my life...

Maybe it's you... It's you..Maybe it's you... It's you..I've been waiting for all of my life...

Maybe it's you... It's you..Maybe it's you... It's you..I've been waiting for all of my life...

2. Jennifer Lopez - Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)

Do you know where you're going to?Do you like the things that life is been showing youWhere are you going to?Do you know...?

Do you getWhat you're hoping forWhen you look behind youThere's no open doorWhat are you hoping for?Do you know...?

Once we were standing still in timeChasing the fantasiesThat filled our mindsYou knew how I loved youBut my spirit was freeLaughin' at the questionsThat you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?Do you like the things that life is showing youWhere are you going to?Do you know...?

Now looking back at all we've plannedWe let so many dreamsJust slip through our handsWhy must we wait so longBefore we'll seeHow sad the answersTo those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to?Do you like the things that life been showing youWhere are you going to?Do you know...?

Do you getWhat you're hoping forWhen you look behind youThere's no open doorWhat are you hoping for?Do you know...?

3. Champain - How 'bout us

Ooh, short and sweet No sense in dragging on past our needs Let's don't keep it hanging on If the fire's out, we should both be gone

Some people are made for each other Some people can love one another for life How 'bout us? Some people can hold it together Last through all kind of weather Can't we?

Now, don't you get me wrong (What you sayin' to me, baby?) 'Cause I'm not tryin' now to end it all (Let's start something) It's just that I have seen (What have you seen?) Too many lovers' hearts lose their dreams (We won't lose it)


How 'bout us, how 'bout us, baby? (3x)

Are we gonna make it, girl Or are we gonna drift and drift and drift together?



4. Pretenders - I 'll stand by you

Oh, why you look so sad?Tears are in your eyesCome on and come to me nowDon't be ashamed to cryLet me see you through'cause I've seen the dark side tooWhen the night falls on youYou don't know what to doNothing you confessCould make me love you less

I'll stand by youI'll stand by youWon't let nobody hurt youI'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get madDon't hold it all insideCome on and talk to me nowHey, what you got to hide?I get angry tooWell I'm a lot like youWhen you're standing at the crossroadsAnd don't know which path to chooseLet me come along'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by youI'll stand by youWon't let nobody hurt youI'll stand by youTake me in, into your darkest hourAnd I'll never desert youI'll stand by you

And when...When the night falls on you, babyYou're feeling all aloneYou won't be on your own

I'll stand by youI'll stand by youWon't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by youTake me in, into your darkest hourAnd I'll never desert youI'll stand by youI'll stand by youWon't let nobody hurt youI'll stand by youWon't let nobody hurt youI'll stand by you

5. Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are

Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are.

6. Foreigner - Waiting For A Girl Like You

So long - I've been looking too hardI've been waiting too longSometimes I don't know what I will findI only know it's a matter of timeWhen you love someoneWhen you love someone

It feels so right so warm and trueI need to know if you feel it too.Maybe I'm wrongWon't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong?This heart of mine has been hurt beforeThis time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like youTo come into my lifeI've been waiting for a girl like youA love that will sunriveI've bee waiting for someone newTo make me feel aliveYeahWaiting for a girl like youTo come into my life

You're so goodwhen we make love it's understoodIt's more than a touch or a word we sayOnly in dreams could it be this way

When you love someoneyeahreally love someone

I've been waiting for a girl like youTo come into my lifeI've been waiting for a girl like youA love that will sunriveI've bee waiting for someone newTo make me feel aliveYeahWaiting for a girl like youTo come into my life

7. Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart, day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice, on the line But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never How can we say forever

Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times That I though would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' CrAzY



I wonder how we can survive This romance But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' cRaZy



8. Brenda Russel - Piano In The Dark

When I find myself watching the timeI never think about all the funny things you saidI feel like it's deadWhere is it leading me now

I turn around in the still of the roomKnowing this is when I'm gonna make my moveCan't wait any longerAnd I'm feeling stronger but oh

Just as I walk through the doorI can feel your emotionIt's pullin' me backBack to love you

I know I'm caught up in the middleI cry just a littleWhen I think of letting goOh no, gave up on the riddleI cry just a littleWhen he plays piano in the dark

He holds me close like a thief of the heartHe plays a melodyBorn to tear me all apartThe silence is brokenAnd no words are spoken but oh

Just as I walk through the doorI can feel your emotionIt's pullin' me backBack to love you

I know I'm caught up in the middleI cry just a littleWhen I think of letting goOh no, gave up on the riddleI cry just a littleWhen he plays piano in the dark

Oh , The silence is brokenAnd no words are spoken but oh

Just as I walk through the doorI can feel your emotionIt's pullin' me backBack to love you …..

9. Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last

Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise

Cause there was a time when all I did was wish, You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me When some silly girl had set you free You wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you

Cause how could you give your love to someone else And share your dreams with me Sometimes of everything you're looking for It's the one thing you can't see

But now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last

Sometimes of everything you're looking for It's the one thing you can't see

(instrumental)

Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon Just when I thought a chance had passed You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last

10. Beverly Craven - Promise Me

You light up another cigaretteAnd I pour the wineIt’s four o’clock in the morningAnd it’s starting to get lightNow I’m right where I want to beLosing track of timeBut I wish that it was still last night

You look like you’re in another worldBut I can read your mindHow can you be so far awayLying by my sideWhen I go away I’ll miss youAnd I will be thinking of youEvery night and day just ...

Promise me you’ll wait for me’cause I’ll be saving all my love for youAnd I will be home soonPromise me you’ll wait for meI need to know you feel the same way tooAnd I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

When I go away I’ll miss youAnd I will be thinking of youEvery night and day just ...



11. Jessica Simpson - I Wanna Love You Forever

You set my soul, at easeChased darkness out of viewLeft your desperate spell on meSay you feel it too, I know you doI've got so much more to giveThis can't die, I yearn to livePour yourself all over meAnd I'll cherish every drop here on my knees

I wanna love you foreverAnd this is all I'm asking of you10,000 lifetimes togetherIs that so much for you to do'Cause from the moment that I saw your faceand felt the fire of your sweet embraceI swear I knew, I wanna love you forever My mind fails to understandWhat my heart tells me, to doAnd I'd give up all I have, just to be with youAnd that would doI've always been taught to winAnd I never thought I'd failBe at the mercy of a man, I've never beenNow I only want to be right where you are

I wanna love you foreverAnd this is all I'm asking of you10,000 lifetimes togetherIs that so much for you to do'Cause from the moment that I saw your faceand felt the fire of your sweet embraceI swear I knew, I wanna love you forever In my life I've learned that heaven never waitsLet's take this now before it's gonelike yesterday'Cause when I'm with you there's nowhere elseThat I would ever wanna be, noI'm breathing for the next second I can feel youLoving me..I'm gonna Love

I wanna love you foreverAnd this is all I'm asking of you10,000 lifetimes togetherIs that so much for you to do'Cause from the moment that I saw your faceand felt the fire of your sweet embraceI swear I knew, I wanna love you forever

12. Matthew Fisher - Why'd I Have To Fall in Love With You

The first time I saw you, you looked so fineI knew I had to make you mineI didn't know that you were the kindTo let me downIt didn't take me so long to find outWhat my friends were all talkin' 'boutAnd I know now, there ain't no doubtYou've been foolin' around

Oh baby baby,Why'd I have to fall in love with you? When you can't be trueTo just one manBaby babyWhy'd I have to fall in love with you?The changes you put me throughOh you'll never understand

Sometimes I wonder what I'm waiting forWhy don't I just walk out the door?'Cause I can't take it anymoreThis hurtin' insideOh, but baby I guess you knowI'm hooked on you and I can't let goNo matter how much you hurt me soI couldn't leave you if I tried

Baby baby,Why'd I have to fall in love with you?When you can't be trueTo just one manBaby babyWhy'd I have to fall in love with you?The changes you put me throughOh no, you'll never understandI said baby baby,Why'd I have to fall in love with you?You know you can't be trueTo just one manI said baby babyWhy'd I have to fall in love with youThe changes you put me throughOh no, you'll never understandOh baby baby ...

17. Paul Davis - I Go Crazy

Hello girl it's been a whileGuess you'll be glad to knowThat I've learned how to laugh and smile

Getting over you was slowThey say old lovers can be good friendsBut I never thought I'd really see you,I'd really see you again

I go crazyWhen I look in your eyes I still go crazyNo my heart just can't hide that old feelin' insideWay deep down insideOh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

You say he satisfies your mindTells you all of his dreamsI know how much that means to you

I realize that I was blindJust when I thought I was over youI see your face and it just ain't trueNo it just ain't true

I go crazyWhen I look in your eyes I still go crazyThat old flame comes alive, it starts burning insideWay deep down insideOh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

Oh Oh, Oh Oh OhI go crazyYou know when I look in your eyes I go crazyNo my heart just can't hide that old feelin' insideWay deep down insideI go crazy

18. Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life

One day in your life you'll remember a place Someone's touching your face You'll come back and you'll look around you

One day in your life You'll remember the love you found here You'll remember me somehow Though you don't need me now I will stay in your heart And when things fall apart You'll remember one day...

One day in your life When you find that you're always waiting For the love we used to share Just call my name And I'll be there

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

You'll remember me somehow Though you don't need me now I will stay in your heart And when things fall apart You'll remember one day...

One day in your life When you find that you're always longing for the love we used to share Just call my name And I'll be there

(Ohh...)

19. Moody Blues - Nights in white satin

Nights in white satinNever reaching the endLetters are writtenNever meaning to send

Beauty had always missWith these eyes beforeJust what the truth isI can’t say anymore

Cause I love youYes I love youOh oh I love you

Gazing at peopleSome hand in handJust what I’m going throughThey can’t understand

Some try to tell meThoughts they cannot defendJust what you want to beYou‘ll be in the end

And I love youYes I love youOh oh I love you

Nights in white satinNever reaching the endLetters are writtenNever meaning to send

Beauty had always messWith these eyes beforeJust what the truth isI can’t say anymore

And I love youYes I love youOh oh I love youOh oh I love you

And I love youYes I love youOh oh I love youOh oh I love you
