DID I HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
By
Stevie Wonder

Aaah…
Did I hear you say you love me
Well baby I’ve got to know
‘Cause if you really really love me
You’ve got to do things to show
Don’t give me the wrong impression
By showing me warm expressions
Put me in the right direction
With tender love and affection
I’ve been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside
Did I hear you say you need me
Well baby tell me the truth
‘Cause if you really really need me
My sweetness here’s what I’ll do
Cut out all my crazy playing
‘Cause for your love I have been laying
Just tell me that is what you’re saying
And I’ll be yours without delaying
I’ve been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Sounds so good
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Did I hear you say you want me
Now please don’t give me no mess
‘Cause if you really really want me
You’ve got to give me your best
Put my love life right in the pocket
And dare someone to try to top it
And when you think I want to drop it
Just love me ‘til I beg don’t stop it
‘Cause I’ve been standing on the outside
Trying to get on the inside
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Well if you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
If you love me honey let me hear you say
I love you
Baby, if you love me let me hear you say
I love you
If you love me let me hear you say
I love you
And if you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
If you want me let me hear you say
I love you
If you need me let me hear you say
I love you
MY LOVE IS ON FIRE
***************
Look at how they stop and stare
As if they’ve never seen a heart in love
And though I see them I don’t care
Cuz, I’m too busy thinking bout our love
Thinking about that each and every morning
I wake up to that love glow in your eyes
And though it seems I’m hooked on this fixation
I will not stop my daydreaming
Until my nights are true with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Listen at me call your name
As if you’re witness to my every word
And though it seems sometimes insane
Something within me tells me they’ll be heard
So I wait so patiently the moment
When my love fantasies will come to life
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I’ll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
On flute, Hubert Laws
And all I need from you is confirmation
Then I’ll be living truth, those moments
That I long with you
Ooh baby, my love is on fire
Ooh baby, my heart is on the wild
Ooh baby, I’m burning with desire
I want to feel your love
I need to feel your love mixed with mine
Ooh fire
Ooh fire Ooh fire
I want to feel your love
Feel your love mixed with mine
Can’t cha feel the fire burning?
Can’t cha feel the pulsation of my heart?
Can’t cha feel the fire burning?
Yeah yeah, mixed with mine
STAY GOLD
***************
Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time…so gold
Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever…and be in time
Stay gold
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
SILVER BELLS
***************
City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
MY LOVE IS WITH YOU
***************
I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was in the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are –
Though my life they’ve taken
They can’t take what we’ve shared
Spread the love I’ve given
And I’ll be there
I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing silly things that kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled “nobody gets away with dissent me”
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are –
Though my life they’ve taken
They can’t take what we’ve shared
Spread the love I’ve given
I’ll be there
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with, where ever you are –
When you’re joyful
When you’re lonely
When you’re happy
When tears are streaming right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the night time hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father
I’m with you –
Ban the hand gun – chant
SPIRITUAL WALKERS
***************
They knock on your door
You laugh in their face
They tell you it’s time to pray
They give you a book
And tell you to read
And point to the Judgment Day
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
They sit on a stump
You run from their sight
To not hear the holy word
They sing and they chant
They preach and they speak
In tongues you have never heard
But people say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Walk on …
On corners of streets
And airports of tents
They reach out for you to come in
They have no defense
Except inner sense
And knowing the Almighty Friend
People say they live dangerously
Walking places they should not be
But they will walk their lives
With a never ending light
They will walk their lives
’til they shine the light
Of truth into your life : truth into your life
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Come on and shine that light through the day through the night
Haven’t you ever encountered the spiritual walkers
They just walk the light through the day through the night
Even though when they knock on your door
You laugh in their face
You run from their sight
Not to hear the holy word
They have no defense
Except inner sense
Haven’t you
