CREEPING
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
I can hear you sighin’
Sayin’ you’ll stay beside me
Why must it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
On the beach we’re sittin’
Huggin’, squeezin’, kissin’
Why must it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
When I’m sleep at night babaa
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night babaa…
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah…
Guess you will be stayin’
So let it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
When I’m sleep at night babaa
I feel those moments of ecstasy
When you sleep at night babaa…
I wonder do I creep into your dreams
Or could it be I sleep alone in my fantasy
Oh, love is so amazing
Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah…
Guess you will be stayin’
So let it be
That you always creep…
Into my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Standing here on my own side
Waitin’ Fo’ the floor

Hey boy don’t feel my world’s untrue

But I know I just ain’t able
So I read about the real me
Who can I blame
For the way I am
I ain’t never had one soul to help me

When I gain the biggest mouth

I GO SAILING
***************
I took a worthless trip
Down life’s avenue
Just to try to find a way to smile again
While I was on my way
I met a wise man who said
That happiness you only find within
I learned my lesson then
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you’ll find
I took a friend’s advice
Who said go up and away
Take the magic of a mystery tour
But I felt so all alone
Though I could almost touch the stars
I started missing things I touched before
The tour was such a bore
So I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
I go sailing
Be surprised what you can find
I go sailing
Through the rivers of my mind
Take a chance on your mind
Be surprised what you’ll find
CAN’T IMAGINE LOVE WITHOUT YOU
***************
Can you picture mother earth in the palm of your hand?
The entire universe as a tiny grain of sand
And it feels impossible to do
As I can’t imagine love without you
Think of drinking every sea with its salty waters dry
Sprinting ’round the world three times faster than a rocket flies
And the thought of it you can’t pursue
As I can’t imagine love without you
Some thoughts are just no brainers
Not worth an ounce of time
Yet others inconceivable
So they never cross your mind
Travel back though life inside one Atlantis summer’s night
Add up every single star
Since the day there first was light
How and where to start
You’ll have no clue
As I can’t imagine love without you
Yet others inconceivable
So they never cross your mind
Travel back though life inside one Atlantis summer’s night
Add up every single star
Since the day there first was light
How and where to start
You’ll have no clue
And the thought of it you can’t pursue
‘Cause it feels impossible to do
As I can’t imagine love without you
I can’t imagine love without you
TAKE UP A COURSE IN HAPPINESS
***************
When life reaches out and takes you
On an unpleasent ride
And your bridge of dreams comes
Tumblin’ down
Don’t let your bed of sorrow
Ever conquer your pride
Remember there’s always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile
And when your optimism
Has a set back or two
And you feel all your tryin’s in vain
(Your heart’s in the rain)
Don’t give up the hope that’s due you
Just to study your doubt
Remember there’s always a way out
Just take up a course in happiness
Take up a course to clear out your mind
You will show yourself how to smile
Take up a course in happiness
Take up a free instruction in life
You will learn how to smile
PASTIME PARADISE
***************
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been wasting most their lives
Glorifying days long gone behind
They’ve been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation…….to the evils of the world
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrow’s gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation of Race Relations
Consolation
Integration
Verification of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Simulation
Confirmation…….to the peace of the world
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We’ve been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Let’s start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones lives
Living in a pastime paradise
