SMILE PLEASE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
A smiling face is an Earth-like star
A frown can’t bring out the beauty that you are
Love within and you’ll begin smiling…
There’re brighter days ahead
Don’t mess your face up with bitter tears
‘Cause life is gonna be what it is
It’s okay, please don’t delay from smiling…
There’re brighter days ahead
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
A smiling face you don’t have to see
‘Cause it’s as joyful as a Christmas tree
Love within and you’ll begin smiling…
There’re brighter days ahead
Love’s not competing it’s on your side
You’re in life picture so why must you cry
So for a friend please begin to smile – Please
There’re brighter days ahead
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Please smile for me
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Please smile for me
Bum – smile
Bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
Bum bum di ti bum
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
I’M NEW
***************
Try to envision you as the oldest living someone
Being every night and day all alone
Going through ages and ages, places and spaces
With never finding that someone to call your own
Like a treasure chest of dreams long forgotten
Hidden for good in a stolen lost and found
But just when fate was calling quits
Love appeared in the midst of despair, came and turned your life around
I’m new, new like the first day of spring
New like a nightingale that’s just learned to sing
I’m new, new like the very start of dawn
Like a child that’s first born with your love, I’m new
You’re standing amongst a crowd of six billion people
Crying out for help, but no one understands
Cause much to your dismay, you’ve been taken far away
To a land where joy is pain and sorrow’s a happy man
Where an aching heart’s the sign of the mighty
And a love-filled heart looks down upon with fault and shame
But at the very instant all was through, lady lucks appears, says “love can do”
And changed you like a Christian who’s been born again
I’m new, new like the fresh morning dew
New like a work of art that’s finally through
I’m new, new like a first flight of a dove
So safe and secure with your love, I’m new
Love took a long time coming to me
But I’ve gotta say
I owe my thanks to him for sending you my way, hey
Cause I’m new, new like the first winter snow
Like the start of forever, with infinity to go
I’m new, new like the birth of the sun
Forever young I will be
Cause with your love, I’m new
New like from a restful night of sleep
New like a starving man that’s had food to eat
I’m new, nothing compares nor can compete
Sharing with you the sweetness of your love, I’m new
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
MY EYES DON’T CRY
***************
I was a lonely no one
Living in a vacuum as life’s debris
Victimized as one whose self deprivation
Had made for my outer insecurity
I was a he ain’t nothin’
Living in the slums of love’s misery
Starving from the lack of sweet affection
‘Til you came to rescue me
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I was a Mr. Lonely
Seeing only darkness in the bright of day
Blind even though my eyes were wide opened
But then your love sunshined my way
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My life was without reason
Sinking in a hell that had no space or time
Falling to the burning pit of pain and sorrow
Until you saved this life of mine
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Since you walk through my door
I don’t have to no longer be blue
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
Now that love’s touched my soul
All my lonely nights alone are through
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
I don’t cry, baby baby I don’t cry
My eyes don’t cry no more
My heart don’t ache no more
My nights are not lonely no more
My tears don’t flow no more
My eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry, my eyes don’t cry no more
COME LET ME MAKE YOUR LOVE COME DOWN
***************
There’s a girl in my life about 4’10”
She’s the one who brings me morning joy
And brings me joy when my day ends
She says my life will never have no problems
That her love cannot fix
And she proves her worth true
Every time she goes into her love bag of tricks
She’s got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain’t got it
She knows how to find the remedy
And she tells me
Come let me make your love come down
She says you’ll never worry in your life
As long as you come and let me
Make your love come down
I call her Miss Satisfaction
Cause she keeps me satisfied
She gets my automatic smile
When she whispers Steveland, I love you, I love you,
I love you
Such a lovely world is my life
Since that girl has come inside
And everyday that I live
I’m gonna do my best to keep her satisfied
Our love will never have no problem
That the both of us can’t fix
Cause like glue to a stamp
Like gum on a shoe
She and I are going to stick
She’s got everything I want
Everything I need
And if she ain’t got it
She knows how to find the remedy
And she tells me
Come let me make your love come down
