BLAME IT ON THE SUN : Duo avec Ray Charles sur : Genius and Friends 2005 - Paroles et musique : STEVIE WONDER

Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it,
Oh yes, my love has gone astray
But I'll blame it on the sun,
The sun that didn't shine,
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time that never was enough,
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea,
But, my heart blames it on me
Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you,
What I am feeling,
But, words won't come for me to speak
But I'll blame it on the sun,
That didn't fill the sky,
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
I'll blame it on the nights that could not be,
But, my heart blames it on me
[Background]...Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
Your heart blames it on you this time

FAITH 2003- DUO avec Miss Dynamit
LIVE MTV EUROPE MUSIC AWARD
Paroles et musique : George Michael/ Miss Dynamite

We’ve been here before
Talk of finance and talk of war
I don’t want to see the children
die no more
So I gottamake a stand
Can you hear my voice
Taking a life is only gods choice
I don’t want blood on my hands
I am a wise man
A wise man warns me but my daddy says
A wise man lives to fight another day
And he don't wanna
See no more mothers cry
I don’t want to see no fathers die
So I gotta have faith
(George’s vocal enters) I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Lady, I guess you heard the news today
There’s got to be a better way
You know it’s given me the blues
Maybe, we’ve got time to make it plain
People you’ve gotta get up off your
knees and say we really don’t want it
I don’t want it (we don't want it)
I don’t want it

Before this river becomes and ocean
Of tears and fears
They think they know what they’re doing, pursuing
Me ain't gonna take that fall
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I’ve got to hope for more
Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

D to the Y to the – Allah we pray
D to the Y to the – Jesus will save
D to the Y to the – it’s all the same
D to the Y to the – if you want love
D to the Y to the – Allah we pray (gotta get it together)
D to the Y to the – Jesus will save (gotta get it together)
D to the Y to the – it’s all the same (gotta get it together)
D to the Y to the – if you want love
All you’ve got to do is have faith
(Before this river becomes an ocean)
All you've got to do is have faith in what you can do
(Of tears and fears - if you want love)
One love, one love
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I gotta hope for more
Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

IF I TOLD YOU THAT avec Withney Houston
Greatest Hits W. Houston 2000

Paroles et musique : R. jerkins/F. Jerlins/ L. Daniels/ T. Estes

If I told you that I had feelings for you? yeah
Tell me baby

And would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind?
I'm sorry I have to

We were friends but with time
What I feel inside for you
Has changed
But I'd give up on love
If I thought that it was
Untrue for you

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I'd beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that

I know that we're just friends
But what if I decide
To bring something in? ooh yeah baby, baby

I hope it won't offend the trust we have cause I
Don't want this to end

If you think we will lose what we have
Then I'd just rather stay the same
Cause I don't wanna choose
Because you are the most precious things to me

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I'd beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say

If we take this chance
And extend to each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me oh yeah

If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that
I'd beg to please you
If I told you that
I'll always keep you
What would you say
If I told you that

Would you be there for me ?
Could you dare to hold me ?
Will my feelings leave me ?
Lonely if I told you
If I told you that
I wanted to see you
And if I told you that I'd beg to please you
If I told you that I'll always keep you
What would you say

Would you be there for me
Could you
I'd beg to please you
Will my feelings leave me
Lonely if I told you

LIVING FOR THE CITY avec Stevie Wonder
THE HONORS VH1 1997

Paroles et musique : Stevie Wonder

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!

His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
(Repeat several times)

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
yeah, yeah, yeah!

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!

La, La, La, La, La, La,
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
(Repeat to end)

WALTZ AWAY DREAMING avec Tony Bourke
Paroles et musique : George Michael/Tony Bourke

She´s got a song in her head and she´ll sing to me
She´s got a laugh that reminds me of why she´s in love with me
She´s never let show she was lonely in case it had frightened me
She was carpet and stone, independent, alone
But her love always shone around me
Every time...
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
Free from the seasons and this state I´m in
And oh, I can´t hold it all under one love
It was so long ago when we kissed in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above
While I waltz away anyway
I´ll be waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
She had a history of joy and pain in time
And she chose to leave
She had a thousand and one photographs
That you would not believe
She´ll come to you in disguise
She´s there in your children´s eyes
Still our mother...
She´s still your wife
(So let her...)
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
Free from the seasons and this state I´m in
And oh, (trust me, she ain´t going anywhere)
I can´t hold it all under one love
(Trust me, she told me, when you´re ready she´ll be there)
It was so long ago (no don´t let go of her)
When we kissed in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above
While I waltz away anyway
I´ll be waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
And the moment you see me
I will live in your life
We will walk through my garden
I will see through your eyes
I was in despair ´till she found me there
Every grown man cries with his mother´s eyes
And when you´re ready too
She´ll come back to you
She´s waiting
Father...
She´s waiting...
You´ll see me...

HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING

(Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Legrand)

Duo avec Tony Bennet sur l'album DUETS "AN AMERICAN CLASSIC 2006

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever..
Forever...

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever...

(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

EVERYTIME YOU GO AWAY
Chanté par George Michæl et Paul Young avec comme musiciens: Elton John, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins P¨rince trust 1986)

Hey!, if we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel yor body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

CRAZYMAN DANCE - 1992
Paroles et Musique : George Michael
Album Red hot and dance et maxi single Too Funky

Well I'm still here
But I'm so scared
Got myself in trouble, so much trouble
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
My middle name is fear
I have a vacant stare
And it's been so long since my body's been warm
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
I came here
All dreams and wide eyes in the big, big city
No family, no money
And I don't even know what's hit me
He hasn't seen a doctor
Since he got here in the spring
Went to the Medicentre
But they wouldn't let him in
Without a green card
Life can be so hard
Take pity on a man without a home of his own
How could he ever have known?
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance
Men and Women to the slaughter
We just stand and watch them
Do the Crazyman Dance
It's been one whole year
And it's just not fair
For all the pushing and shoving
I've still got nothing
I'm never gonna make it
And I'm stuck here in New York
So people don't come near
Unless you've a dollar to spare
'Cause you know what they say
About madmen on the subways of New York
Believe it
Yesterday's newspapers
I wrap them around my body
Outside these skyscrapers
I wait for the night to hit me
And boy, does it hit me
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance
For a nickel or a quarter
For your pleasure
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance
I'm coming to London
I'm coming to Paris
I'm coming to make you good
clean people embarrassed
Why don't you look at my face
Why don't you look in my eyes
You'd rather look at your feet
You'd rather look at the skies
Oh, you'd look anywhere
But at a man whose pure existence
Says 'I ain't got time'
And I don't care
I don't care
You just don't care
Care

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW - 1992
Paroles et musique George Michael

Album Red hot and dance et maxi single Too Funky
When I ask those questions, baby
It's just to get them out of my head
Cause they turn around inside it
Then they spill off to our bed
Do I really want to know?
Do I really want to know your life?
Would I have to let you go?
Could I listen to my heart if my head stops to think twice?
When I've been a good boy
When I've been a bad boy
I have too much fun
But baby so did everyone
I've never been an angel
But things are gonna change, change, change
So do you really want to know?
Do you really want to know my life?
Would you have to let me go?
Could you listen to your heart if your head stopped to think twice?
If you knew every woman
And I knew every man
We never would have made it past holding hands
I guess the saying is no longer true
That what you don't know can hurt you
I guess there is just no question, baby
You know what you're doing in bed
If I want your touch
Should I know too much
Some things are better left unsaid
So do I really want to know?
Do I really want to know your life?
Would I have to let you go?
Could I listen to my heart if my head starts to think twice?
(Tell me baby, Cause one thing to guess is one thing to know,
and don't you think that maybe baby I've got secrets of my own?)
If I knew every woman
And you knew every man
We never would have made it past holding hands
I used to say it but it's no longer true
Cause what you don't know can really hurt you (Can kill you baby)
And even as we speak
The world is full of lovers
Night after night, week after week
Trusting to luck and a pocket full of rubbers

HAPPY - 1992
Paroles et Musique : George Michael
Album red hot and dance etMaxi single Too Funky

First you take off your hat
Then you-take off those brand new shoes
Say 'Hey George, what've you got to lose?'
With my hand on your thigh
I just look you in the eye and say
'Not a whole lot baby
But a whole lot more than you'
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that?
She said
I can make you happy
Boys and Girls
The ones who kiss and tell
Why should we have to believe them?
No, I don't understand
How any woman, how any man
Can say 'Lay me down, lay me down'
For that big stash-cheap cash-think about the money
I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that?
He said
I can make you happy
I've seen you in the corner
With your rub-it-on tan
Hitching a ride
Could be a woman or a man
Gonna get what you want before too long
Gonna take your opportunities
Right or wrong
Some poor cow with a seven-year itch?
You don't dig men
But you'll fuck'em if they're rich
You can't be-with me

Shattered dreams, Worthless years
Here am I incased inside a hallow shell
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
Living sounds that greet our ears
The sights our eyes befall
We'll open up our merging hearts
And feel our empty souls

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

Without despair, we will share
And the joys of care will not be erased
What has been, must never end
The joys of caring will not be replaced
When the seeds of love are plentiful
They won't be hard to find
And the songs of love I sang to you
Will echo in my mind

Hey!
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. I said.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. Yeah!
