STRANGER ON THE SHORE OF LOVE
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
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
ANOTHER STAR
***************
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la
La la la la la la lala la

For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it’s all I see
For you
There might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love colud do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
Love might bring a toast of wine
But which each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you
Love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love of yestarday
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love colud do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one
Who would break my heart in two
For you
There might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you it’s all I see
For you
There might be another song
But in my heart your melody will stay with me

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME
***************
Oh yeah…
Candles burnin’ low,
Lot’s of mistle toe.
Lot’sof snow and ice,
Eveywhere we go.
Choirs singin’ carols,
Right outside my door.
All these things and more
(All these things and more)
That’s what Chrstmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh yeah,
Hy hy yeah eah eah
And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin’ face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And little cards you give me
Will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more, darling
(All these things and more)
Whoah!
That’s what Chrstmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh yeah ha ha!
I feel like runnin’ wild
As eaches and a little child
Greet you neath the mistle toe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
And such happiness in the comin’ year
Oh baby
Let’s deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill a sheet with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to seep and wake up
Just before daylight
All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
Whoah!
That’s what Chrismas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love)
Oh baby baby!
Yeah!
Candles burnin’ low
Lots and lots of snow
Alright!
Christmas bells are ringin’
Christmas choirs singin’
Whoo!
Christmas mistletoe…
SUMMER SOFT
***************
Summer soft…
Wakes you up with a kiss to start the morning off
In the midst of herself playing Santa Claus
She brings gifts through her breeze
Morning rain…
Gently plays her rythms on your window pane
Giving you no clue of when she plans to change
To bring rain or sunshine
And so you wait to see what she’ll do
Is it sun or rain for you
But it breaks your heart in two
When you find it’s October
And she’s gone
And she’s gone
Summer’s gone
Taking with her summer’s play
Winter wind…
Whispers to you that he wants to be your friend
But not waiting for your answer ne begins
Forcing dangers ‘way with his breeze
Morning snow…
Plans to have a winter ball for you to throw
But just where or when he never lets you know
If it’s snow or clear days you’ll find
And so you wait to see what he’ll do
Is it sun or snow for you
But it breaks your heart in two
Cause you’ve been fooled by April
And he’s gone
And he’s gone
Winter’s gone
You find it’s October
And she’s gone
And she’s gone
Summer’s gone
You’ve been fooled by April
And she’s gone
And she’s gone
Winter’s gone
You find it’s October
And she’s gone
And she’s gone
Summer’s gone
You’ve been fooled by April
And she’s gone
And she’s gone
Winter’s gone
