SEND ONE YOUR LOVE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I’ve heard so many say that the days of romance are no more
And people falling in love is so old fashioned
But waiting are they the day they once let slip away
Hiding need to fulfill their heart’s desire for love’s passion
Send her your love
With a dozen roses
Make sure that she knows it
With a flower from your heart
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal
And can only happen in make believe stories
But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see
For around us are miracles of love’s glory
Show him your love
Don’t hold back your feelings
You don’t need a reason
When it’s straight from the heart
THESE THREE WORDS
***************
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you’d say I know this can’t be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them “I love you”
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you’d give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through you tears you’d ask why did you go
Knowing you didn’t always show
Just how much you loved them so
OVERJOYED
***************
Over time, I’ve been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I’ve gone much too far for you now to say
That I’ve got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover
I’ve come much too far for me now to find
The love that I’ve sought can never be mine
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
UPTIGHT (EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT)
***************
Baby, ev’rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I’m a poorman’s son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin’ on my back,
But I’m the envy of ev’ry single guy
Since I’m the apple of my girl’s eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money’s low and my suit’s out of style,
But it’s all right if my clothes aren’t new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev’rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
She’s a pearl of a girl, I guess that’s what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
She says no one is better than I, I know I’m just an average guy,
No football hero or smooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see I’m a poorman’s son.
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I’ll never, never make my baby cry,
And it’s all right, what I can’t do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev’rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

MAKE SURE YOU SURE
***************
Well the night is young
And the stars are out
And your eyes are all aglow
And you say you feel
Ways you’ve never felt
But are you sure, make sure you’re sure
Well, the wine is sweet
And the music sways
And your lips are so divine
And you say you know
That you’re falling in love
Now, let’s be mature, make sure you’re sure
I’m not accustomed to wearing my feelings
In a place that’s so obvious to see
But if eyes don’t lie
There’s a chance that you are not fooling yourself
and me
Well the night is through
And the sun’s come out
And so too has your lovely smile
And you vow to stay
In these arms always
Can you endure, now are you sure
Love can be so insecure
So please be sure
