lou rawls - the way you look tonight

Someday
When i'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause i love you
Just the way you look tonight

And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely
Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause i love you
Just the way you look tonight

Hmm...
Hmm...
Just the way you look tonight

lou rawls - unforgettable

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you that stings to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am so unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

lou rawls - have yourself a merry little christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

lou rawls - the girl from ipanema

Tom Jobim - The Girl From Ipanema
by Antonio Carlos Jobim / Vinicius De Moraes / Norman Gimbel

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "a-a-ah!"
When she walks she's like a samba that
Swings so cool and sways so gentle,
That when she passes, each one she passes goes "a-a-ah!"
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smile, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No she doesn't see

lou rawls - you ll never find another love like mine

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! No... one else

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin'
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna miss my lovin'
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching
your whole life through

Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

(You're gonna) You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin'
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna miss my lovin'
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my loove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby
(you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gone
I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss my love
you gonna miss my love

lou rawls - a natural man

[Spoken:]
You know, there was a time when, if someone told you to do something, you did
it. Bam! Right on! No questions asked. It was, "Yes, sir" and "Yes, ma'am." You
never said, "No." You know? Hah. But, you know, things are changing nowadays.
It's a new day, babies. Folks want to take their own lives into their hands and
make their own choices. No longer do they wanna go along with the program
'cause everybody say it's right. You know what I mean? Let me tell ya what I'm
talkin' about, ya see, 'cause.

I don't want no gold watch for workin'
Fifty years from nine till five.
a-while the boss is guzzling champagne,
And I'm beltin' beer in some dive.

'Cause I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and loving for me.
I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and lovin' for me.
Like a natural man (like a natural man).
A natural man (like a natural man).

Well, now, I refuse to listen to people's
Thinkin' that I live too high.
I'm gonna taste it now,
Before my one life streaks on by.

'Cause I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and lovin' for me.
I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and lovin' for me.
Just like a natural man (like a natural man).
I said, a natural man (just like a natural man).

Well, now, I tried to do,
What others said that I should do.
They said I that I should,
Fit in, fool 'em, fake it.
Well, those kinda do's,

Just make me crazy and blue.
Man, I just can't take it.

So when you see me walkin',
Won't you notice that proud look in my eyes.
My feet are on the ground,
And my soul is searchin' for the sky.

'Cause I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and loving for me.
I want to be happy and free,
Livin' and lovin' for me.
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man).
A natural man (just like a natural man).
Just like a natural man (just like a natural man).

My feet are on the ground (just like a natural man).
My soul is searchin' for the sky (just like a natural man).
Like a natural man (just like a natural man).
No more, "Yes, sir" (just like a natural man).
[Fade.]
No more, "Yes, ma'am" (just like a natural man).
Hah! 'Cause I'm a natural man (just like a natural man).
I'm a natural...

Chains of Love
Lou Rawls
Chains of love have tied my heart to you
Chains of love have made me feel so blue
Well now I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you gonna do

Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
Are ya gonna leave me, are ya gonna make me cry?
These chains are gonna haunt me until the day I die

Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me
free?
Well, if you're gonna leave me please wontcha set me
free?
I can't bear these chains that bind me
Unless you're here with me

Well it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is
shinin' bright
Yes it's three o'clock in the mornin', the moon is
shinin' bright
I just sit and wonder
Where can you be tonight

lou rawls - don t let me be misunderstood

Baby, do you understand now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I got my share
That's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you

Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've got thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself, oh, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh, Lord, don't you let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no

Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But, don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy
I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has its problems
And I got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
'Cause I love you

Oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself, oh, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

lou rawls - lady love

Lady love, your love is peaceful
Like the summer's breeze
My lady love, with love that's tender
As a baby's touch
You give me all of the things
That I need so much
You're my world, lady love

Lady love, your love is cooling
Like the winter snow
My lady love, with love that's cozy
As a fire's glow
And I keep on needing you, girl
A little more and more
And I thank you, my lady love

You know, it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
People are people and they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times that it brings

My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
My lady love, I once was lost
But now with you I'm found
You got the love I need
And I want to stay around
Heaven sent you down, my lady love

Let me tell you that it's not easy to keep love flowing smooth
You know, people are people, they all have their moods
But it's so nice just to have someone like you
Who wants a smooth and easy thing
And all the good times and the joy that it brings

My lady love, you've been with me
Through all of my ups and downs
And my crazy turn-arounds
My lady love, you got the love I need
So stay around
Heaven sent my lady love

Lady love, sweet lady love
You are so good to me
Lady love, like a warm summer breeze
(So glad I found my lady love, lady love)

You know I was thinking today
You want to do something different tonight
Why don't you come over to my place
Let me put on some dinner for us
Get us a couple of bottles of wine
Then I can just rub your shoulders
And ease all your tensions
And your nerves from the day
As a matter of fact
I'll even take your shoes off
And rub your feet
'cause I know you've been on them all day
And you'rel tired and their hot
So listen tell you what you do
After you get home
You know, you get yourself cooled down
Take a nice warm bath
Get all relaxed and refreshed
And come on over
And let me ease the evening for you

(sung)
Let me be good to you
Let me be good to you

Maybe we can go catch a late show
Or maybe we can just stay at the place
And watch a late-night tv movie

lou rawls - love is a hurtin thing

lou rawls - nobody but me

I've got no chauffeur to chauffeur me
I've got no servant to serve my tea
But I'm as happy as a man can be
Because I've got a girl who loves nobody but me

I don't own stock in no stock exchange
I don't hold claim to no real estate
But I'm not living my life in vain
Because I've got a girl who loves nobody but me

And everytime my sweetie goes walking
Down some sunny street
She always sets the whole town to talking
'Cause she's a genuine Athenes
from her head down to her feet

I don't rank high in society
I don't possess a PhD
But I'm all set confident-u-ally
Because I've got a girl who loves nobody but me, now

lou rawls - one a million you

Love had played it's games on me so long,
I started to believe I'd never find anyone,
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in,
Said you can't win...

But one day the sun it came a'shinin' through,
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue,
And oh, what a revelation, to see,
Someone was saying "I love you" to me,

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime,
And life showed compassion,
And sent to me a stroke of love called you,
A one in a million you.

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill,
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own.
And life is worth living, again,
For to love you, to me, is to live.

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime.
And life, showed compassion,
And sent to me, a stroke of love, called you.
A one in a million you.

A one in a million, chance of a lifetime,
And life, showed compassion,
And sent to me, a stroke of love called you...
A one in a million you, a one in a million.....you.
