james ingram - just once

I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough
'cause here we are back where we were before
seems nothing ever changes
we're back to being strangers
wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once
can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why we never last for very long
what are we doing wrong.
just once
can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
I know we could break through it.
Ohh ohhh

I gave my heart
but I think my heart may have been too much
'cause lord knows we're not getting anywhere
seems we're always blowing
whatever we've got going
and it seems at times with all we've got
we haven't got a prayer....

Just once
can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why the good times never last for long,
where are we going wrong
just once...
can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it

(Bridge)
Just once, I want to understand.....
why it always comes back to goodbye;
why can't we get ourselves in hand
and admit to one another
we're no good without each other
take the best and make it better
find a way to stay together

Just once.....
can't we find a way to finally make it right...Ohhhh
to make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it

Just Once.....
Ohhhh, we can get to it
Just Once.....

Arrenged by Quincy Jones.

james ingram - baby come to me

Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize..

Ain't no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share

Chorus:
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And i'm oh so glad i found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause i can't go back to livin' without you

Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walk together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side

The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm

Chorus:
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And i'm oh so glad i found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause i can't go back to livin' without you

james ingram - always

I want you always
Ooh ooh ooh
I want you always
I want you always

People tell me you're not serious
It doesn't matter I love you anyway
Girl in my world there's just the two of us
You find it's hard to see that you're a part of me

And I want you always
Can't remember loving
Anyone like this
Honey you're the best thing
Always
Can't remember loving
Anyone like this
Honey you're the best thing
You're the best thing
You're the best thing

Seem I am only living a fantasy, oh
And my imagination, takes control of me
My heart needs you, like a flower needs the rain
Still feels the same, honey, when I hear your name

And I want your always
Can't remember loving
Anyone like this
Honey you're the best thing
Always
Can't remember loving
Anyone like this
Honey you're the best thing

Always and forever
I want you day and night
Heaven know this love is so right
Always and forever
Oh, baby I want you
Only I know what you're giving me
It will never grow old
It's far more precious than gold

Always
Always
Lady I need your love
This ain't no sometime thing
Yes, oh I want you to know
Girl I get so excited finding it gets hard to hide it
You got me going through the ceiling, and am riding on the feelin'
And high, baby
I can't remember a love that made me want like this
Ooh ooh my, you're mine
Girl I need your love

Always
Can't remember loving anyone like this
Honey you're the best thing
I want you always...
I want you always...

Wanna see this paradise.

Won?t think about it twice.

james ingram - how do you keep the music playing

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

james ingram - i believe i can fly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[1] - I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

james ingram - i don t have the heart

Your face is beaming
You say is ?cause you?re dreaming
Of how good it?s going to be
You say you?ve been around
And now you?ve finally found
Everything you wanted and need in me

I don?t have the heart to hurt you
It?s the last I want to do
But I don?t have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

Inside I?m dying
To see you crying
How can I make you understand
I care about you
So much about you, baby
I?m trying to say this as gently as I can

?Cause I don?t have the heart to hurt you
It?s the last I want to do
But I don?t have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

You?re so trusting and open
Hoping that love will start
But I don?t have the heart, oh, no
I don?t have the heart

I don?t have the heart to hurt you
It?s the last I want to do
But I don?t have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

I don?t have the heart (Ooh...)
(Baby, I don?t have the heart, I don?t have the heart)
I don?t have the heart (Ooh...)
(Baby, I don?t have)

I don?t have the heart
I don?t have the heart
I don?t have the heart
I don?t have the heart
I don?t have the heart

james ingram - one hundred ways

Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Dont forget, there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways

Being cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance

Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If it's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight, she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways

Love her today
Find one hundred ways

james ingram - one more rhythm

My love she makes no demands
She waits for me with open hands
She understands
My love gives me all I need
She understands the fears in me
And when I'm down
You know she cries her tears for me
'Cause she loves me
Don't know what she sees in me
She loves me
I'll follow where she leads
She makes me
The best that I can be
She loves September by the sea
Candle light and cold Chablis
Those little things never meant that
much to me
'Cause she loves me
Don't know what she sees in me
She loves me
I'll follow where she leads
She makes me
The best that I can be
I was a lonely man
I never, never understood
I never realized that it could be so good
'Cause she loves me
Don't know what she sees in me
She loves me
I'll follow where she leads
She makes me
The best that I can be

james ingram - she loves me

Heavenly Father watchin' us fall
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well, it's a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So, if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name, His name
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there
Whenever you call
Never be lonely, lost in the night
Run from the darkness, lookin' for the light
'Cause it's a long, hard road
That leads to a brighter day
Don't let your heart grow cold
Just reach out and call His name, His name
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there
Yah will B there
You can count on it brother
'Cause we're all just finding our way
Travelin' through time
People got to keep pushin' on
No matter how many dreams slip away
Yah will B there
Well, it's a doggone shame
But never too late for change
So when your luck runs low
Just reach out and call His name,
Just call His name
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there
Yah Mo B there, Yah Mo B there

james ingram - somewhere out there

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
Somone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

james ingram - the day i fall in love

The Day I Fall In Love
>> James Ingram

Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I look into your eyes and knew
Today would be a first for me
The day I fall in love

On the day I fall in love
Sky will be a perfect blue
And I'll hear my heart forever more
To someone who is just like you
The day I fall in love

People all say love is wonderful
That the bells will ring
The birds will sing
The sky will open
I wonder where's that great big symphony
Roll over Beethoven
Won't you play with me

And I'll never promise to be true to anyone
Unless it's you
Unless it's you
The day I fall in love

Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I look into your eyes and knew
Today will be a first for me
A first for me
The day I fall in love
I know you'll be there
Ooh....I know...
The day I fall in love
