I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
All my life I was alone,
Didn’t think I’d find my part,
Now I see there’s joy inside your arms.
Every day I searched for the star,
That never was in the sky,
And now I see this star is on earth.
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that I would be -that’s
what you told me yea
If I gave you a chance to come inside my life.
(I am) And I am happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way it will always be -that’s the way
it will always be
Ever since the day you came inside of my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Dum…
Dum…
Yea
And I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said that it would be -baby that’s
what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life
I’m happier than the morning sun
And that’s the way you said it would be
-woa that’s what you said it would be
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Bom bom bom I love you.
Happier than the morning sun
That’s the way you said it would be
-baby that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside my life.
-bring you inside my life yea
I’m happier than the stars above
-yea the morning stars above
That’s the way you said that it would be
-that’s what you told me yea
If I should ever bring you inside of my life.
I believe that everyone should be
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happier than the morning sun
Happy happy, happy
MY BABY’S GONE
***************
Woke up this morning, my baby’s gone
Woke up this morning, my baby’s gone
I ain’t had no loving since my baby been gone
I ain’t got nobody to stay at home with me
I ain’t got nobody to stay at home with me
I wonder ’bout my baby, what’s gonna happen to me
My baby’s gone, gone away from me
My baby’s gone, gone away from me
My whole life is in misery
My baby’s gone, gone away from me
My baby’s gone, gone away from me
And now I’m worried taht you can see
SUPERWOMAN
***************
Mary wants to be a superwoman
But is that really in her head
But I just want to live each day to love her
for what she is
Mary wants to be another movie star
But is that really in her mind
And all the things she wants to be
She needs to leave behind
But, very well, I believe I know you-very well
Wish that you knew me too-very well
And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Very well, and I think I can face-very well
Wish that you knew me too-very well
And I think I can cope with everything going through your head
Mary wants to be a superwoman
And try to boss the bull around
But does she really think that she will get by with a dream
My woman want to be a superwoman
And I just had to say good-bye
Because I can’t spend all my hours start to cry
But, very well, I believe I know you
Very well wish that you knew me too
Very well, And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Very well, think that I know you too
Very well, wish you knew me like I know you
Very well, but I think I can deal with everything going through your head
Your filthy head
Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da
Very well, wish you knew me too
Very well, And I wish I could think of everything going through your head
Very well, dum dum da, dum da, dum da
dum dum da, dum da, very well
And I think I can deal with everything going through your head
When the summer came you were not around
Now the summer’s gone and love cannot be found
Where were you when I needed you-last winter, my love?
When the winter came you went further south
Parting from love’s nest, leaving me in doubt
Where are you when I need you, like right now?
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed
But tomorrow will reflect love’s past
When the winter came you were not around
Through the bitter winds love could not be found
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?
Oh I need you baby, I need you baby
Our love is at an end
But you say now you have changed,
But tomorrow will reflect love’s past oh
Spring will fill the air and you will come around,
With your summer love that will let me down,
Where were you when I needed you, last winter, my love?
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
Where are you when I need you, like right now?
Right now, right now, right now
Where were you when I needed you last winter, my dear
I need you baby, I need you baby, I need you baby
Oh, Where were you when I needed you last winter, last winter
Yea, Need you Baby, need you, need you baby,
Oh, you want me too need you baby
Oh where were you when I needed you last, dear
Yea
DARK N’ LOVELY
***************
There is a place
On earth’s motherland
Where a people
Die in bantu stands
Manchild at eight
Will face guns of hate
Womanchild’s fate
Is life second rate
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
They do a dance
called Mbaqana jive
Rainbow people
Dancin’ to stay alive
After hours
Party hand in hand
After Shebeen
Terror strikes again
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely Dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely
The whole planet’s watchin’
And the Sun God is watchin’, too
Hey there Botha
Yes, we are watchin’ you
Spirits can do
Jah will stop this reign
Watch our world turn
To help those in pain
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Just because they’re dark ‘n’ lovely
Dark ‘n’ lovely Dark ‘n’ lovely
EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY (I NEED YOU)
***************
Life on your own, don’t really make you free
You can’t put your arms around a memory
A little bit of soul, is worth more than gold
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
I need you
The lonely days and nights were paved with dreams
I’ve loved and lost and I do believe
A little bit of soul, is worth more than gold
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
I need you
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
Everybody, needs somebody
I need you
We got to get together babe
WITH EACH BEAT OF MY HEART
***************
Honey, sweet
I’ve got something to say to you in privacy
Something I’d like for you to hear
And only your ears alone
Secretly, I’ve been admiring you intensely
So much so I’d like to settle down with you
And make a home
You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea
Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep
From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart
Until the day I heard you speak
I didn’t know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart
There’s a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart
Honey, sweet
I soared into a heaven’s galaxy
So hypnotized was I
From seeing all the magic in your eyes
So I bring
To you what’s been a lifetime fantasy
Of being with the only one who can
Create my paradise
You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea
Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep
From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart
Until the day I heard you speak
I didn’t know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart
There’s a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart
There’s a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart
