vanessa williams - 2 of a kind

You struck me like lightning
turned my world upside down
when I first laid my eyes on you

This feeling's really frightening
cuz it seems to me I've found
the perfect man of all for me to choose
used to a dream of such a man like you
never thought it would come true
boy you are the answer to my prayers

I never felt like this before and
you have opened up the door
into a space that I would never dare

Cuz you give my a meaning
and this love we hare together
is lifting my heart to a higher ground
I was searching, seeking, finding
love came out from its hiding
and baby, I' so pleased at what I found

The way you seem to be, the only one for me
this love is truly special, we're 2 of a kind
I've got you on my mind, we're 2 of a kind

This heart is beating inside my chest
and baby, it's you that I adore
the nights we spend together are by far the best
that any woman could be wishing for
we're lucky baby it's like that
this ain't no opposites attract
you make up for all the bad in me

So when days of trouble come around
you know I never let you down
right by your side is where I want to be

Cuz you give my life a meaning
and this love we have together
is lifting my heart to higher ground
I was searching, seeking, finding
love came out from it's hiding

The way you seem to be, the only one for me
this love is truly special, we're 2 of a kind
I've got you on my mind, we're 2 of a kind

vanessa williams - save the best for last

Sometimes the snow comes down in june
sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
sometimes It's all a big surprise
'cause there was a time when all I did was wish
you'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
but some how it's enough
and now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
just when I thought our chance had passed
you go and save the best for last
all of the nights you came to me
when some silly girl had set you free
you wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'cause how could you give your love to someone else
and share your dreams with me
sometimes the very thing your looking for
is the one thing you can't see
but now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
just when I thought our chance had passed
you'd go and save the best for last
sometimes the very thing you're looking for
is the one thing you can't see
sometimes the snow comes down in june
sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
just when I thought our chance had passed
you'd go and save the best for last
you went and saved the best for last

vanessa williams - do you hear what i hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star a star, dancing in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song a song, high above the trees,
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
In your palace oh, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child shivers in the cold;
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people ev'rywhere,
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people ev'rywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The child, the child,
Sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light

listen

do you hear what I hear
Do you see what I see
Do you know what I know
Pray for peace, people everywhere
do you hear what I hear?

A child, A child,
sleeping in the night
he will bring us goodness and light
he will bring us goodness and light

listen
do you hear what I hear?
listen
Do you hear what I hear?

vanessa williams - a whole new world

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

vanessa williams - and if i ever

And if I ever fall in love again
I'll try to let my heart be free
Cause I know how it feels to be alone
Still trapped in old memories
And if I ever fall in love again
I'll search to find a love that's true
I need a lover who will share my life
And help make my love renewed

I'm not lost I've been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way

CHORUS:

Send me someone to love and I'll be on my way
'Cause I need someone to love
Forever and always

And if I ever fall in love again
I know you'll be my lover and friend
And if I ever hold you in my arms
No nothing could tear us apart
And if I ever wanna hear you say
Darlin' I love you to me everyday
The only way to know our love love is right
It must pass the test of time

Now I'm not lost I've been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way

Send me someone to love and I'll be on my way
'Cause I need someone to love
Forever and always

Now I'm not lost I've been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way

Send me someone to love and I'll be on my way
'Cause I need someone to love
Forever and always

And if I ever fall in love

vanessa williams - and my heart goes

You make my heart go.....
Inside out you send me baby
Round and round your world
Upside down you make me crazy
For you love; it's out of control

Like an evening star
Shining brightly through me
When you look into my eyes
I know we have something
I'm following my heart
Trusting where love will lead
Surrendering my guard
I found security; oh in you
Darling you're the one for me
Tell me did you know

CHORUS:
You make my heart go.....
Inside out you send me baby
Round and round your world
Upside down you make me crazy
For you love; it's out of control

Like a fairy tale
You kissed life into me
You cast my fears away
Finally I'm free
Anyone can see I'm crazy for you
You're everything I need
You're all I want to do
It's true loving you is magical
Tell me did you know

CHORUS

And my heart goes
Inside and out
And my heart feels
I'm losin control
Cause my heart knows
The only one for me,
Uh baby can't you see
And my heart goes
You turn me upside down
And my heart feels
You turn me round and round
Cause my heart knows
Baby don't you know

CHORUS

You make my heart go
Ooh baby, so in love
You make my heart go
You know, it's for your love

You turn it upside down
You turn it round and round
You make my heart go
And my heart feels
Cause my heart knows
You make my heart go

vanessa williams - and this is life

I have felt winter snow
Melting as it touches my skin
I have cried heartaches tears
As summer came shuffling in
Uh I've run barefoot across moonlit sand
Found friendship where I thought they'd
never understand
Held a newborn baby in these hands

CHORUS:
And this is life these precious moments
And this is life these sad goodbyes
And this is life this roller coaster
These days of grace this surprise
And this is life

I have hoped, I have prayed
Wished upon a falling star
I have found secret strength
Hidden inside my heart
Oh I guess that this will always be
A winding journy to an end I cannot see
But here I am caught up in this mystery

CHORUS:
And this is life these precious moments
And this is life these sad goodbyes
And this is life this roller coaster
These days of grace this surprise
And this is life

And love has made me bluer than
The wildest morning sky
And love has lifted me until
I thought that I could fly

CHORUS 2x

And this is life
This is life
And this is life

vanessa williams - angels we have heard on high

There've been times, when I thought I heard angels
and I must admit, it took me by surprise
I heard rhythm, and the fullness of life
so rich, it brought tears to my eyes

There was a time, I was sure I heard angels
it was a sound tinged with sadness, but loaded with the joy
Full of rhythm, and oh such music
kind of streetwise jubilation at the coming of that blessed boy

Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o´er the plains
And the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strain

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Shepherds why this jubilee
why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav´nly song

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the lord, the new born king

Gloria, in excel sis deo
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)
Angels we have heard on high, (Gloria)

Angels we have heard

vanessa williams - baby, it s cold outside

I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands they're just like ice.

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move a bit closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby it's cold outside
The answer is No
Ooh baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
My your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half-a-drink more
Never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

It's cold out side.
It's cold out side.

vanessa williams - betcha never

I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride

And now you're always working late
You never have much time for me
And you're expecting me to believe
That you're not out with she

Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you won't mind
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another

And he is my lover
And I'm going out for the rest of your life

I betcha never thought I'd go that far
I betcha never thought I'd break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never

I know that everybody lies, that I know I can't deny
But what if they're intentional
the intention of your crimes
Cause I know how much that I can take

I know my heart demands a change
If I can't have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
I'm giving you and eye for an eye
Baby I've found another

And he is my lover
And we're going away for the rest of your life

vanessa williams - better off now

I could feel it when we said goodnight
we both knew it had to end
we couldn't make it right
but we still come back again
don't be sad 'cause we gave the best we had

We're better off now, better off now
maybe we just don't know it
better off now, better off now
maybe this time
we're better off saying goodbye

I know I'll never feel the same
after loving you this way
I'd do it all again
though I know my heart would break
once you've loved like this how do you admit

We're better off now, better off now
maybe we just don't know it
better off now, better off now
maybe this time
we're better off saying goodbye

Maybe we just don't know it
better off now, better off now
it's hard to realize
we're better off saying goodbye

Close your eyes and I'll be there
if you ever think you need me

We're better off now, better off now
maybe we just don't know it
better off now, better off now
maybe this time
we're better off saying goodbye

vanessa williams - can this be real

Your face, my door
Haven't we both been here before
Slight trace no more
You're with me somehow
Your touch, my hand
Softspoken words I understand
Nights spent, days planned
I'm asking you how

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Quick turn, long stares
Is that a shadow, or are you there
You feel so near
What is this confusion

Ooo Your voice soft and low
Blends in my ear with breezes that blow
No choice I know
I ask my illusions

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Night goes, and days here
I can still remember the tast of a tear
I still face a cold stare
The essence of someone is constantly here

Can this be real
I can almost feel your touch
But you're not there
This, I need you in the end

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Your face, my door
Haven't we both been here before

vanessa williams - colors of the wind

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew

* Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
or let the eagle tell you where has been
can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with all the colors of the wind
