Motown Legends: Michael Jackson

[intro]
(we've got forever, forever)

[verse 1]
I'll plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dreams that we're dreaming
Have time to come true

[chorus]
'cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

[bridge]
We shall have music
We shal have rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time

[verse 2]
Then we'll add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
The cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be me and you

[chorus]
'cause we've got forever
And forever is meant for so very few
<ad lib to fade>

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of may
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(my girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than
The birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(my girl)

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh...

I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
One man can claim
Well i guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
(my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl
(my girl)

When you're down and trubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin', no nothin' is goin' right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon i'll be there to brighten up
Yeah, even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again
Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah i will
You've got a freind

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
He begins to blow
Here's what you do baby
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door
Oh yes i will, yes i will
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever i am
I'll come a-runnin'
To see you again

Chorus

Ain't it good to know
That you've got a freind
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't let them

Chorus :
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yes i will

You've got a freind, yes you do
You've got a freind, yes you do
Right till the end, for you
Ain't it good to know

Got to be there, got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl
Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment i know she loves me
'cause when i look in her eyes i realize
I need her sharing her world beside me

So i've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she is my girl
When she says, "hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me

That's why i've got to be there
Got to be there where love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home

Got to be there
Got to be there

oooh
Foolish of me, i couldn't see
The forest for the trees
You've been so true
I've been so cruel to you
Oh, girl please don't leave me

Chorus :
If you stay i'll find a way
To erase the past
Baby don't leave me
Girl don't take your love from me
Oh girl

What can i say to make you stay
Baby, don't leave me
You've been so kind
It blows my mind to know
Oh girl, i really hurt you

Chorus :
Tell me girl, it's not to late
And you give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don't take your love from me
Girl don't take your love
Don't take your love

Bridge:
Girl, if you take your love away from me
I'm gonna be in misery
Your love is the strength that i lean upon
How will i make it when it's gone
Of all the little things i wanted to say....
...i really wanted to do
Girl , this time...
Ooh, oh girl i really mean it

Chorus :
So tell me girl, it's not too late
And you'll give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love, no no no no no
Don't take your love
Don't leave me girl

Don't take your love from me
Baby, don't take your love from me
Don't take your love from me
Oooh, don't take your love from me
Baby, don't take your love from me

Can it be i stayed away too long
Did i leave your mind when i was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where i'm at
You don't have to worry 'cause i'm coming
Back to where i should have always stayed
And now i've heard the maybe to your story
And it's enough love for me to stay

Can it be i stayed away too long
Did i leave your mind when i was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where i'm at

Chorus:
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Everywhere you are

Bridge:
Please don't close the door to our future
There's so many things we haven't tried
I could love you better than i used to
And give you all the love i have inside

Chorus:
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Any, any, anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are
