Vanessa Williams – Colors Of The Wind
(Verse 1)
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev’ry rock and tree and creature
Has a life has a spirit has a name
(Verse 2)
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’ll learn things you never knew you never knew
(Chorus 1)
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
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?
(Verse 3)
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
(Verse 4)
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
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
(Chorus 2)
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s 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?
(Bridge)
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
(Chorus 3)
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For, whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We 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
Vonda Shepard – You Belong To Me
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember that all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I’ll be so lonesome wothout you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember ’til you’re home again
You belong to me
Maybe you’ll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember ’til you’re home again
You belong to me
Maybe you’ll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember ’til you’re home again
You belong to me
Vonda Shepard – You And Me
Part of me wants to break the ice
And part of me wants to roll the dice
Exactly how it stands
Part of me wants to roll the dice
And part of me wants to leave them curled up in my hands
Where they will be safe and no one will know
How I really feel and I’ll never be real
And I’ll roll with the punches that I’ll never feel
And I’ll have a heart that no one can steal
Chorus
It’s you and me and you’re nowhere to be found
I’m rolling on the ground
It’s me and you and I’m nowhere to be found
Part of me wants to break these chains
And part of me wants to keep them locked up tight
Part of me wants to stop these rains
And part of me wants them to fall all night
Fall on my head just to wake me up
Anything to drench my half-empty cup
And I’m sorry baby I’ve had enough
I’m tired of your promised tearing me up
Repeat Chorus
You will be safe and no one will know
How you really feel and you’ll never be real
And you’ll roll with the punches that you’ll never feel
And you’ll have a heart that I’ll never steal
Repeat Chorus
Vonda Shepard – Will You Marry Me
I guess you sunk in
Oh yeah you made it in
Now I’m fumbling somewhere deep within
Will I raise my glass
Or will you kick my ass?
Or will we fall down laughing, laughing?
I know love is pain
I know your life’s insane
I want you anyway
I’ll probably complain
Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you’re really after
I’m tumbling in side this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing…
Will you marry me?
Strange behavior from my savior
You yank me up and down
Just like a yo-yo
Do you love me?
You’re an anomaly
Or maybe you are just
Unbelievably ordinary
Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you’re really after
I’m tumbling inside this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing…
Will you marry me?
I’m tumbling inside, I’m happiest when you are next to me
But I’m still on the inside…
Am I obsesssed or
Will you marry me?
Vonda Shepard – This Is Crazy Now
Blown away like the wind, restless again
My only friend has gone away
Washed like the tide but I’m still alive
I’m gonna drive all night long
This is crazy now, I’ll fill the space somehow
If there were someway to get through
This is crazy now, I’ll fill the space somehow
I can’t walk away from you
Shaken like a leave, sharpened like a reef
All of my senses need relief
Looking out to sea, I still believe
That you and I were meant to be
This is crazy now, I’ll fill the space somehow
If there were someway to get through
This is crazy now (like a finger paint)
Fill the space somehow (smearing in the rain)
I can’t walk away from you (wash it all away)
This is crazy now (shaken like a leave)
I’ll fill the space somehow (Sharpened like a reef)
I can’t walk away from you
This is crazy now
(Shaken’ like a leaf)
Fill the space somehow
(Sharpened like a reef)
I can’t walk away from you
Vonda Shepard – Tell Him
I know something about love
You’ve gotta want it bad
If that guy’s got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe
Here’s the thing to do
Tell him that you’re never gonna leave him
Tell him that you’re always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love
You gotta show him it and make him
See that moon up above
Reach out and get it
If you want him to
Make your heart sing out
And if you want him to
Only think of you
Tell him that you’re never gonna leave him
Tell him that you’re always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Ever since the world began it’s been that way
For woman and man were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh
I know something about love
You gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride and
Tell him that you’re never gonna leave him
Tell him that you’re always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Tell him that you’re never gonna leave him
Tell him that you’re always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Vonda Shepard – Soothe Me
Maybe I should wander
Through these streets a little longer
Hey New York City
Won’t you welcome me back home?
And darling I love you
But I swear that I’ll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want
Maybe I should wander
Through my solitude a little longer
Turn your head now sailor
Well I used to be so much stronger
How in the hell did I get here?
In this city so alone
Oh sometimes life seems so long
Chorus
You can’t soothe me with your sweet voice
If I can’t be your first choice
You can’t soothe me with your deep eyes
If I can’t be your first prize
You can’t soothe me with affection
If it’s pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think I’m perfection
Unless you think I’m perfection
Maybe I should wander
Through these streets a little longer
Find my ruthless angel
That will carry me back home
Cause we all wanna go home
And we search for love our whole lives
I found a man who only wants to be alone
Repeat Chorus
Maybe down the road who knows?
You’ll get it together
With all your charm my hope grows
It’s wonderful
But you’re flirting only as a friend
You touch my heart
And promise everything
It’ll be a mighty cold winter
Five million people
Couldn’t one of them be you?
And darling I love you
But I swear that I’ll be gone
By the time you figure out
What you want
Repeat Chorus
Vonda Shepard – Searchin’ My Soul
I’ve been down this road walkin’ the line
That’s painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can’t hide
Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I’m ready to sing
I’ve been searchin’ my soul tonight
I know there’s so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind
Oh I’ve been thinking of you for a long time
There’s a side of my life where I’ve been blind and so…
I’ve been searchin’ my soul tonight
I know there’s so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I’ve been searchin’ my soul tonight
Don’t wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I’ve decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind
Oh I belive I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I’m ready to live
I’ve been searchin’ my soul tonight
I know there’s so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I’ve been searchin’ my soul tonight
Don’t wanna be alone in my life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
(Repeat Chorus)
Vonda Shepard – Say The Words
Every light shines on you tonight
Making a fool out of me
Why won’t this love leave me alone
All of the people in this smoky room
Crowded with faces I know
I feel them watching me watch you
(Chorus)
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words so I can leave…it’s over
Your eyes are deeper
They are worthy of many words
But none I can conjure up will do for you
I shouldn’t see you
‘Cause I know my own motivation
It’s taking too long for this love
To leave me alone
(Chorus)
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words so I can leave…it’s over
(Bridge)
Oh love, you worry me
When you say you’ll wait forever
I have another life
We just cannot be together
(Chorus)
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words, say them for me
I need to hear you say…it’s over
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words so I can leave…it’s over
Vonda Shepard – Sail On By
I’ve got a mind that you’ll never see
I’ve got amazing remedies
I’ve got a heart that only wants to please
You wouldn’t notice if I slapped you and I
Let go my friend
Telling you I, Let go my friend
You know I had to, let go my friend
Telling you I, let go my friend as you
Sail on by
No girl is an island
I live in denial as you
Sail on by
There’s more behind this crying
Than meets the eye
I’ve got a hand on the radio
I’ve got a song on the video
I work my fingers to the bone
You wouldn’t notice
If I were a slacker and I
Let go my friend
Telling you I, let go my friend
You know I had to, let go my friend
Telling you I, Let go my friend
Sail on by
No girl is an island
I live in denial as you
Sail on by
There’s more behind this crying
Than meets the eye you
Repeat chorus
