Al Jarreau - Your Song Lyrics

Al Jarreau - Your Song Video

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside but
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide oh I
Well I don't have much money, but boy if I did you know
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.
 
If I were a sculptor, but then again no,
Oh a man who makes potions in a travelling show
Well I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you.
 
And you can tell everybody, this is your song
Oh it may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.
 
I sat on the roof child yes I did in fact I kicked off the moss
But a few a few of the verses, you know they well they've got me quite cross
Oh but the sun's been real kind while I wrote, wrote down this song,
You see it's for people like you, they keep it turned on.
 
So please excuse my forgetting, of these things I do
Well you see girl I've forgotten, if they're green or are they're blue
Oh well anyway, you know the thing is, honey what I really mean
Only yours are the sweetest eyes I've believe I have ever seen
Oh lord ahh you can tell everybody there that, that this is your song
 
Yes you can oh the whole world may be quite simple but, but now that it's gone
Yes I hope you don't mind don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Every single line one more time girl I hope you don't mind
Hope you don't mind that I put down in words ohh these sweet words
How wonderful life is baby while you're in my world!
 
Believe I sit here on the dock of the bay watching the tide rolling
Away say I'll be thinking of you love sweet memories to you.

Al Jarreau - Mornin' Lyrics

Al Jarreau - Mornin' Video

Mornin' Mister Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
In my mind?
 
Mornin' Mister Shoeshine man
Shine'em bright in white and tan
Baby said she loves me and
Need I tell you that everything here is just fine
In my mind
 
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
 
Mornin' Mister Golden Gate
I should walk but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am makin' it fine
Here in my mind
 
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still beyond the blue until
I know I can like any man reach out my hand
And touch the face of God
 
'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
 
Mornin' Mister Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
In my mind
 
So won't you get up, oriole
So won't you get up, Cheerio
Wake up, Mister Radio
(Scatting) it's fine
Here in my mind
 
Singin' about mornin' little radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Wake up, Mister Radio
Need I tell you everything right is just doing fine
Woo, in my mind

Al Jarreau - So Good Lyrics

Al Jarreau - So Good Video

(Take me on home ..... and let me say this!)
 
There's no greater crime than wastin' your life on a boat goin' nowhere,
When you came along ... you made it safe for love to survive,
I trusted and dreamed and you came like I knew you would.
I've been 'round before but this feels so good.
 
I could not walk by ..... I knew that I'd found ...
What's at the end of the rainbow,
There's no place on earth I'd rather be than stayin' right here with you,
It's not about luck ..... I don't need to knock on wood ... no, no ...
Been 'round before but this feels so good.
 
Chorus:
Night after night it's so hard to believe ...
That I wake up each day next to you,
Time after time in the cold mornin' light, it's good to know ...
It's good to know ... that it's true.
 
There's no greater sin than missin' your chance ...
When it's starin' right at'ya,
That look in your eye says everything and tells me I'm home,
For once in my life I don't feel misunderstood,
Well ... I've been 'round before but this time it feels so sure.
 
Been 'round before ... but this feels so good,
Been 'round before ... but this feels so good.

I can be what I want to
And all I need is to
Get my boogie down

Al Jarreau - Moonlighting Lyrics

Al Jarreau - Moonlighting Video

Some walk by night
Some fly by day
Nothing could change you
Set and sure of the way
Charming and bright
Laughing and gay
I'm just a stranger
Love the Blues and the Braves
There is the sun and moon
Facing their old, sweet tune
Watch them when dawn is due
Sharing one space
Some walk by night
Some fly by day
Something is sweeter
When you meet 'long the way
There is the sun and moon
Facing their old, sweet tune
Watch them when dawn is due
Sharing one space
So come walk the night
Come fly by day
Something is sweeter
'Cause we met 'long the way
We'll walk the night
We'll fly by day
Moonlighting strangers
Who just met on the way
Who just met on the way

Al Jarreau - Let's Pretend Lyrics

Al Jarreau - Let's Pretend Video

Runnin' around like crazy
After our romance
Thinkin' about you baby
How there's still a chance
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna sing
 
I'll use my imagination
In a novel way
To create a situation
One we both can play
I'll write the story
You'll be my inspiration
Just like two actors in a play
 
CHORUS:
Let's pretend
We're in another world
Livin' a fantasy
Let's pretend
Just another boy and girl
Falling in love
Let's pretend
Babe we'll remember when
Maybe we'll start again
Let's pretend
What we had will never end
Ooh ooh aah
 
I'm jumpin' right in now baby
With my body and soul
Everyone thinks I'm crazy
But I love you so
I know there's magic
Whenever you're around me
So much it makes me wanna...
 
CHORUS:
 
Girl remember when
Do you remember when
Bring it back again
In all the love we made
I'm sure we saved some for
A rainy day
 
CHORUS:
