IF YOUR LOVE CANNOT BE MOVED
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
You can’t say we shall and not fight through hell
You can’t say we will and not dare to deal
You can’t shout out peace and then vanish in the crowd
You can’t ride the storm without some effect
You can’t steal the spoil and not pay the debt
You can’t wave a sign that spells “evil” and feel really proud
You can’t sing a song with no melody
You can’t say we’re one without unity
You can’t form a line if you’re sacred to stand alone
You can’t pray for grace and then smack her face
You can’t speak of hope and then crack a joke
You can say you’re there but time knows how much you’ve grown
Put a face to your somebody
Can you say your name?
Or would you rather stay unknown?
Can you show your face?
Or are you fearful of it shown?
Can you feel your heart?
Or does it beat for you alone?
Lift your glass up high
Say that your truth will never lie
If your love cannot be moved
You can’t look at me and not see yourself
You can’t say “for them” and not for who else
You can’t truly bless and not bless the good of all
You can’t serve the rich and desert the poor
You can’t hear their cries and just close the door
You can’t say you’re down and not take it to the wall
You can’t benefit from one’s detriment
You can’t find the serum and not cure the sick
You can’t free the slave to enslave them differently
You can’t see the right only from your sight
You can’t see the wrong and just go along
Or is that the way you would want your fate to read
Put a face to your somebody
Can you say your name?
Or would you rather stay unknown?
Can you show your face?
Or are you fearful of it shown?
Can you feel your heart?
Or does it beat for you alone?
Lift your glass up high
Say that your truth will never lie
If your love cannot be moved
You can’t make a pledge and then slip the script
You can’t say the words and not move your lips
You can’t be confused and still say you understand
You can’t be a friend but not through thin and thick
You can’t be a click but in danger split
You can’t evenly share and then grab the biggest hand
You can’t say you do but then show you don’t
You can’t say you will and make sure you won’t
You can’t want for change and not do what you need to do
You can’t give up all and then take back all you give
You can’t live to die but you can die to live
Or is that too much to ask of the you in you?
Put a face to your somebody
Can you say your name?
Or would you rather stay unknown?
Can you show your face?
Or are you fearful of it shown?
Can you feel your heart?
Or does it beat for you alone?
Lift your glass up high
Say that your truth will never lie
If your love cannot be moved
CREEPING
***************
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

STRANGER ON THE SHORE OF LOVE
***************
The curtain goes up
The first act begins
The scene is two people in love
Lovely is she, lucky feels he
She smiles in his eyes
He smiles in her eyes
They both vow love never to part
One sight for all, lovers to see
A perfect love story begins
’til insecurity sets in
What happens then is, one aching heart
Oh, I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart
I can tell you that I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart
A table for two
Love vows of “I do”
A honeymoon out of a dream
Who could ask for, anything more
A home on a hill
With love daffodils
And cold winter nights by the fire
What more could be, for she and he
There’s more than enough love and yet
She or he starts feeling regret
What do you get, one broken heart
Oh, I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart
I can tell you from experience I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart
I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a-a-a-oh, oh, oh
Oh, I don’t wanna be, please don’t let me be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart, na, na, na, na, na
I don’t wanna be no, don’t let me be no
No, no, no with tears
I don’t wanna have an upset stomach from a broken heart, baby
I don’t wanna be
No stranger on the shore of love with tears
And a broken heart
I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
***************
Honey you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you need me a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
When you say those words of love to me
It makes me feel so good inside
But when the sunshine comes and you must leave
It only leaves me with my own foolish pride
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Oh, when you say those words of love to me
I know you know you make me feel so good inside
But if by break of day you never can stay
There must be something in our love that I don’t know about that you
Feel you’ve got to hide
Baby, baby, you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Baby you make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, honey, I love you too much
Hey I love you, I love you, I love, I love you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you, I need you, I love, I love you
Feel me, feel me, feel me, feel me, love me, love me
I love you baby, don’t let nobody tell you that I don’t love you baby
Oh oh I love you
Baby, have you ever wished that forever nighttime could last
Don’t leave my heart a broken glass baby, oh oh
Sometimes I feel like I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Maybe three much
Yeah, I love you
You make me feel like you care a lot
But I-I-I-I-I, I love you too much
