Love Lives Forever

(m. riperton - r. rudolph - m. henderson)

Hey there everybody, out there gettin down
Steppin with the fashions, throwin love around
You're hustlin for money, you playin' the big man's game
Going around in circles, you don't know where
Ah, you're smilin' through the pain

Oh, such a strange affair
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
I ain't lyin', anything goes
You got to keep on tryin'
Everybody knows we got to turn it around

Cost of livin' risin'
Unemployment grows (i ain't got no job)
Wastin' our resources
Who's makes all the dough? (everybody but the po')
Politicians preachin
While color watchers are freakin'
Children needin' teachin'
While for the stars we're reachin'

Oh, such a strange affair
Don't it blow your mind, mon cher
I can't stand it, it don't need to be that way
I don't want it
Yeah, there's got to be a change
We got to turn it around

(m. riperton - r. rudolph - l. caston - j. wieder)


La, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la...
Come sing the song of life

There's a song that sings to me
All of life's music in sweet harmony
And you can sing this melody
Once you just understand that you should be free

Young and old, we're all beautiful
We have learned that now is the time to let it show
Let your heart lead you
And you'll hear the song of life singing
Loud and clear everywhere, singing

Spread your feelings open wide
Let all the happiness you need inside
Feel the song begin to soar
You can do anything you want and more
So much more, so much more

Touch that star you've been reaching for
Take the chance that you've been afraid to take
Be bold... let your heart lead you
And you'll hear song of life singing loud and clear
Everywhere singing clear

(l. caston - l. hurtado)


Seconds pass so very fast
I was watching perfect time
Let me share each day with you
Love you thru the sands of time

Time is precious to so few
Love is rare and hard to find
Won't you take this hand of mine
Love and spand the hands of time

Yes, time is a treasure that we cannot buy
Time measures a life and i don't know why
My love, before i met you i could not give
Then you touched my heart
And you taught me to live
You are the sun, gentle and warm
You make my life complete
Give me time to show what you mean to me

Time is you, don't you see
I need you to give me time
To show what you mean to me

(m. riperton - r. rudolph - r. waldman))


A tree, a rock, a cloud, a sky blue day
A bird in flight, the night, the milky way
Beta gammas, silk pajamas, sunday mornings
You take my breath away
You take it away

Hello, good-bye, a sign that i love you
A runny nose, a rose, the ocean blue
Children playing, people praying,; hallelujah
You take my breath away
You take it away

Sunny days, soft rain falling
Crystal bells i love to hear ring,
Summer days, blue birds calling
Don't look now, but love's around to stay

A tear, a smile, a laugh along the way
The world at dawn, a song, the month of may
Woody herman, ethel merman, stevie wonder
You take my breath away
You take it away
