You Are What Love Is (1977)

Knowing you stand by me
Through thick and thin
You are the only one
I can tell just anything
You always lend a hand
You make me understand
And darling I know why
My darling I know why 
You are what love is

You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you

Cause you are what love is

Knowing there's always you
No matter when
You always find the clue
To make me feel brand new
You give life to my soul
Don't need no pot of gold
And darling I know why
My darling I know why
You are what love is

You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
You're the air that I breathe, you're the sun in my sky
You're what love is
You're the song that I sing and I'll do anything
Baby just for you
Cause you are what love is

Repeat

I Will Be Your Friend (1986)

You don't know what's going on 
You never can be sure
It's puzzling to work out
The lands we made before
You don't have to worry
I will be around
I will always love you
I won't let you down

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

I've been waiting for too long
I've been doing time
Sitting here thinking of you
You're always on my mind
When I'm lonely in my room
Time lingers on
I can't stay away from you
Cause love is holding on

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend


You don't know what's going on 
You never can be sure
It's puzzling to work out
The lands we made before
You don't have to worry
I will be around
I will always love you
I'll never ever let you down

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

I will be always be
Until then
I will be your friend

Crying's Easy

Caught up in no man's land
Don't know where you stand
Pretty lady, just where you are
Living in loneliness
Teardrops you can't resist
You look so weary and so sad
Yes I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

Chorus
I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Yours dreams are now yesterday
Your hopes so far away
Don't you worry I'll be yours
Just put your hand in mind
Stay with me awhile
I know it's not hard if you try
For I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Say A Little Prayer (for the children) 1979

What is gonna happen in a little while from now
When our time has passed away and the world has turned around?
Children now I see,
Wandering by the streets
Hunger and poverty
Someone forget their destiny

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Chorus
Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts will be filled with joy, love and harmony


They walk the streets at night
They learn to steal and how to fight
Their tender hearts are filled with war
No love they'll find behind prison's door
They've got to be aware
In their minds, there must be no fear
Go ahead you must be brave
Much more love to them you must give

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts would be filled with joy, love and harmony

(spoken)
Say a little prayer ...
Put your hands together  ...
Get down on your knees ... you gotta do it
