minnie riperton - expecting

She is thinking of the year, sixteen,
sixteen
She is taking down her thoughts, reflecting,
expecting
She is musing on her autumn, her dreams,
her dreams
She is making up her mind, expecting,
expecting
She is certain that she likes his schemes,
his schemes
She is waiting in the woods, expecting

I'm not gonna sing the blues
Cause I don't wanna cry

minnie riperton - adventures in paradise

I believe any dream that I want to
That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive
And if by chance I give birth to my visions
Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise
Woven well through the fabrics of time

I believe I am free, let it free me
That ain't the only way of getting past the jive
And every day something magical passes
Sunshine on my body, rainbows bloomin' in the sky
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise
It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind

It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind
Step this way for another ADVENTURE in P A R A D I S E

minnie riperton - alone in brewster bay

Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Feel the fire's flame
Do they sigh your name
Think of you, my love, so far away

Once I never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that I'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'I feel like cryin'

Then I close my eyes
And I search the skies
For a sign of you thinking of me
Then I feel you here
You are oh so near
In my mind I find you next to me

Cause once I never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that I'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'I feel like cryin'

Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Thinking of you, my love, alone in Brewste

minnie riperton - baby this love i have

Things I say and do may not come clear through
My words may not convey just what I'm feelin'
But I hope you'll recognize what's right before your eyes
Oh, your heart should realize
From where I'm dealin'

Baby I'm tryin' to show you that I love you
Baby I'm tryin' to show you that I care
Baby I'm tryin' to tell you that I, I need you
Baby, I'm tryin' to tell you that I care

Oh, you may not understand just why I show my hand
The method to my madness you inspire
Perception is the key
It's evident you see
What this is all about
Is love entire

And all I know is true
Is this love I have for you
And all I know is true
Is this love I have for you

minnie riperton - can you feel what i m saying

First we learn how to care
magical dreams, midnight summer air
Wouldn't it be nice to find that some... warm... to share
What I care
Maybe someone to love for a lifetime

Oooh, I have love supreme
Mystical movements making me flow free
Slippin' in between the stars we find that shine all the time
Now they're yours
Now they're mine
Now there's someone to love for a life time

Ohh, can you feel what I'm saying
touching you... touching... touching me
Can you feel what I'm saying
touching you... touching... touching me

minnie riperton - close your eyes and remember

Blowing softly through a meadow
Laughing like a baby, breeze tapping
lightly at the treetops, whispering among the leaves

You hear the magic song, that ancient poets sing
It's sweet as morning dew and sounds a lot like springtime
When you close your eyes
You feel your heat go there
So close your eyes and you may find that
Fireflies were as bright as stars;
Close your eyes and remember
Summertime lingered on and on
Close your eyes and remember
Your first love made the world stand still
Close your eyes and remember
Close your eyes and remembers when
The moon was made of cheese

Racing swiftly through the mountains
Bubbling along the stream
Sighing sweetly through the hollow
Gentle as an infant's dream

minnie riperton - come to my garden

Come to my garden let the stars fill your eyes
Come to my garden and walk with me
Come to my garden no more dreams filled with cries
Come to my garden please

I'll take your hand and lead you from these bad times
I'll take your breath and give you mine
I'll take your hand and lead you where the truth lies
I'll take you with me now

You know you've lived here all your nights; all your days
You know you've lived here inside my mind
You know you'll stay here for this you've lived all your life
You know you'll stay right here

minnie riperton - completeness

You are my completeness beloved
Every breath of you is my life
Thrill me with your own Lover's
Magic
Make me know that I am alive

I need you, my love
Complete me, my love
Be tender, my love
I need you, my love

Live in rapture, loving, needing,
teasing,
pleasing, sharing, caring
Waken me, My Love; Cherish me, My
Love
I belong to you

Tender moments with you enchant me
Kiss me, make my world fade away
Love me as I want you to love me
Make the night melt into day

minnie riperton - could it be i m in love

You move me... I'm burning
Such passion I'm yearning
One thought keeps returning
Could it be... I'm in love?

You touch a place in me that feels so divine
I can't recall the pain that once was mine
Since we kissed I am not the same
I've blossomed in desire
Could it be... I'm in love?

Falling.. I'm flying
I'm laughing now I'm crying
I'm born but it's like dying
Could it be... I'm in love?

I tremble... it's thrilling
It scares me but I'm willing
It drains me but it's filling
Could it be... I'm in love?

It's madness... I know it
I love it do I show it
It's too late now I glow it
Could it be... I'm in love?

minnie riperton - dancin and actin crazy

Late last night I dreamed my baby called
But he wasn't on the phone
I got up and tiptoed down the hall
And tripped into the twilight zone

Everyone there was gettin' down
Dancin' and actin' crazy
Everyone there was carryin' on
Dancin' and actin' crazy

Sparkelitas vamped arount the room
Flashin' out with champaigne eyes
G. Randini played those eighty-eights
Till ivory tears began to fly

Oh what a party
The baddest jam I'd ever seen
I started shakin'
I had to scream

I woke up and wondered where I'd been
Just a dream I realized
Went downstairs to put some water on
And I could not believe my eyes
Why Why !

minnie riperton - every time he comes around

Everytime he comes around I feel like I'm on fire
When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul
It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

Now I ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour
I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day
Every time he comes around I get the funny feelin'
What I'm looking for don't matter anyway
Hey, it don't matter anyway

'Cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around I feel like I'm on fire
When he whispers in my ear I start to lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

Cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around I feel like I'm on fire
Mmmm, I lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole

minnie riperton - feelin your feelin s right

Sometimes when I'm really not so happy
It seems no matter what I do
Or no matter how hard I try
I really can't get high
I think about the lessons life has given me
Now I know exactly what to do

I'm gonna push it back and turn around the feelin'
And that is when the sun comes shinin' through
Yes, it's true that it's all up to you

It's feelin' that your feelin' right
it's feelin' that your feelin's right
It's feelin' that your feelin' right
it's feelin' that your feelin's right

All at once I found the perfect feelin'
I can't believe what seemed so hard comes so easily
It came all over me

Now I've got to find a way to show you
Cause it's too good to lock inside myself
So just push it back and turn around the feelin'
Its best when you can share with someone else
Yes, it's true, yes, it's true
That it's all up to you

minnie riperton - give me time

Seconds pass so very fast
I was watching perfect time
let me share each day with you
love you thru the sands of time

Time is precious to so few
love is rare and hard to find
Won't you take this hand of mine
Love and spand the hands of time

Yes, time is a treasure that we cannot buy
Time measures a life and I don't know why
My Love, before I met you I could not give
Then you touched my heart
and you taught me to live
You are the sun, gentle and warm
You make my life complete
Give me time to show what you mean to me

Time is you, don't you see
I need you to give me time
To show what you mean to me
