DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME     duo avec Elton John

Paroles et musique : Bernie Taupin/ Elton John

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded me by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

"Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. Elton John"

I can't find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don't discard me baby don't
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal

Oh, Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Paroles et Musique :  Reid/Shamblin/Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me til then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby

A MOMENT WITH YOU

Paroles et Musique : George Michael

(you can't keep holding it in when it's something good)

hey this won't take much time
we won't touch, we'll just wait for signs
and nothing was futher from my mind
than this moment with you

but ifyou'd only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
if I'd only seen it sooner
but what away with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you

I know that is wrong
but "if you need me, I'm here", turns me on
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here
I can't help thinking its a miracle

say, don't waste much time
we don't touch, do we baby?
but still my handsare tied
for that moment with you

but if you'd only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
if I'd only seen it sooner
but what away with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you

you know that I'm strong
and I've no reason to fear, am I wrong?
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here
I can't help thinking its a miracle
I can't help thinking its a american
I can't help thinking its a miracle
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here

you can't keep holding it in when it's something good
get up, get up
you can't keep holding it in when it's something good
get up, get up

and who can you trust? dealing out justice
with a minimum of fuss
who baby
dealing out justice...

DESAFINADO        duo avec Astrud Gilberto

Paroles et Musique : Antonio Carlos Jobim/Newton Ferriera de Mendonca

Se você disser que eu desafino amor
Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dor
Só privilegiados tem ouvido igual ao seu
Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu

E se voce insiste em classificar
Com o meu comportamento de anti-musical
Não lhes vou mentir até vou comentar
Que isso é bossa-nova
Que isso é muito natural
Que voce não sabe nem sequer pressente
E que os desafinados também tem um coração
Fotografei você na minha role-flix
Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidão

Só não poderá falar assim do meu amor
Que é bem maior que você pode encontrar
Você passou a música e esqueceu o principal
Que no peito dos desafinados
No fundo do peito bate calado
No peito dos desafinados também bate um coração

OUTSIDE

Paroles et Musique : George Michael

I think I'm done with the Sofa
I think I'm done with the Hall
I think I'm done with the Kitchen table, baby...

Let's go outside (let´s go outside)
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yes
Let's go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

so my angel she says, don't you worry
´bout the things you're saying, yeah
got no friends in high places
and the game that you gave away
Wasn't worth playing

Let's go outside
In the Sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yes
In the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor, won´t you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
Twenty - four - seven

You say I want it, You got it
I never really said it before
There nothing here, but flesh and bone
There's nothing more, nothing more
there's nothing more

(Back to nature, just human nature
getting on back to)

I think I'm done with the Sofa
I think I'm done with the Hall
I think I'm done with the Kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yes
Let's go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor won´t you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
I´d service the community
(But I already have you see!)
I never really said it before

There's nothing here but flesh and bone
There noting more
nothing more
there nothing more
let´s go outside
dancing on the D-train baby

When the moon is high
and the grass is jumpin´
come on, just keep on funkin´
keep on funkin´, just keep on funkin´

AS   duo avec mary J. Blige

Paroles et Musique : Stevie Wonder

As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate know's love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do you know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4

Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past 

But that I mustn't fear
I  know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
Cause I'll be loving you always

 

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

Until the ocean covers every mountain high

Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea

until we dream of life and life becomes the dream

Until the day is night and night becomes the day

Until the trees and seas just up and fly away

until the day that 8X8X8 is 4 

Until the day that is the day are no more

 

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

 

As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
For now  I know deep in my mind

The love of me  I've left behind

Cause I'll be loving you always

 

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high

Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea

until we dream of life and life becomes the dream

 

Until the day is night and night becomes the day

Until the trees and seas just up and fly away

Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4 

Until the day that is the day are no more

STARPEOPLE '97

Paroles et musique : George Michael

Star people
Counting your money till you soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may have  been  living in a dream
It's just seem to many of you
Can't help but hope there's a difference between... you and me

And if I live to be a hundred and one

I will never understand what you are, honey ?

 

I'm looking for sympathy

Just get me on NBC

And where'the hell's my dumb as PR ?

 

I said maybe your mama gave you up boy
( It's the same old same old )
I said maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl

(how much is enough)

Star people
Never forget your secret safe with me
Just look at all wonderful people
Trying to forget  just who and what they have been

It's a deam
With a nightmare stuck in the middle

Are you serious ? I'm just curious
Without all of that attention
You'd die
I'd die
We'd die( wouldn't we baby)

 

And if I live to be a hundred and one

I will never understand what you are( I'm talking to you)

you're  looking for sympathy from people who work to eat

And they don't really seem to mind

 

I said maybe your mama gave you up boy
( It's the same old same old )
I said maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl

 

How much is enough ?

How much is enough ?
How much is enough ?

Are you serious ? I'm just curious
Are you serious ? I'm just curious

 

Yeah more glycerine

Let's go back to the day

DJ (why do you wanna telle me that ?)

DJ (get yourself some Oprah cash)

Is that what makes a star ?

 

Did you get off on a bad foot, baby

Do you have a little tale to tell

Did you get off on a bad foot, bad, bad foot ?

Is that why you're a star ?

 

Do you really think you've got it so hard ?

Do you think it might do you some good yo look around you

And decide how you might feel

If the pain you felt was real

Tell me

 

Now nothing comes for nothing, baby

That fame and fortune's heaven sent

And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling

'cos you can pay the rent

You can pay.

FANTASY

Paroles et Musique : George Michael

One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
And the next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around (Yea).
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
Ain't much point in hanging around (Yea).
Cause' if you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

It is kind of funny that you think that
I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy
If only for a while
Little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

It could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait
So long I don't know your intentions.
Look to the sky's above
I am in the hands of fate
Push till it gets to shove
I have got to know for heavens sake
Is this love or invention
Baby can't you see I'll find another Fantasy.

You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
Little baby oh, oh little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

You take someone's heart
And you kick it around
Keep on picking it up
So you can watch it come down
I don't know what I am suppose to do
Why I wait for you to make up your mind
Would you please be so kind
When you know what to do I'll be in the the next room
But if you make it to late I may be in the next day
Hmm...

I  KNEW YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME 

duo avec Aretha Franklin

Paroles et Musique : D.Morgan/Simon Climie

 

Like a warrior that fights
And win the battle
I know the taste of victory

Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
Ans was crippled emotionally

Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith

(Chorus)
And the river was deep I didn´t falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn´t stop me
I knew you were waiting for me

With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet

And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

I don´t regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
(Chorus)

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
