Best Of Al Jarreau lyrics

Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine...
In my mind

Mornin' Mr. Shoe Shine Man
Shine 'em bright in white and tan
My baby said she loves me and
Need I tell you that
everything here is just fine
In my mind

'Scuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know

Drivin' in my car---it's rainin' hard
I've gotta get to ya baby
Traffic's movin' slow---it's stop 'n go
And I keep dreamin' 'bout ya baby,yeah

Now when I finally get my hands on you
We'll be makin' love the whole night through
Anything you want just take from me
And I'll take you up the mountain,cuz.....

It's not hard to love you at all
It's not hard to love you,baby
No,no not hard

1] When it appears your love is finally on the line
And you can't hold it back much longer
And when it seems as though you're runnin' out of time
That's the time you should be stronger
Well, if you care about her
Don't you ever doubt her love
Would you turn around and throw it all away?
Just let her know today
R} That it looks like trouble in paradise

"Roof Garden"

chorus:
Does anyone wanna go
waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
dance up on the roof?
(repeat)
On the town,
Sequins evening gown.
Climb those stairs
To that ballroom in the air
Get to poppin.'
chorus
If you dare,
Dream of yesteryear.
In the air
Do a step with Fred Astaire.
Get your top hat.
chorus
You can be
What you want to be

Intro:
When you give love and never get love,
You'd better let love depart,
I know it's so and still I know,
I can't get you out'a my heart.

You made me leave my happy home,
You took my love and now you're gone,
Since I fell for you.

My life has been such misery and pain,
I guess I'll never be the same,
Since I fell for you.

Chorus:
Well, it's too bad and it's too sad,

(Take me on home ..... and let me say this!)

There's no greater crime than wastin' your life on a boat goin' nowhere,
When you came along ... you made it safe for love to survive,
I trusted and dreamed and you came like I knew you would.
I've been 'round before but this feels so good.

I could not walk by ..... I knew that I'd found ...
what's at the end of the rainbow,

I've always believed in dreams
And that fantasies somehow come true
When dreaming of you
I've seen a moment's magic shine
Upon the darkest night
And fill it with light
I've heard the wind whisper melody
Of love meant to be
I've searched the heavens for you

I've searched heven and earth
Chasing my dreams on the wings
Of everlasting love
I've searched through heaven and earth

Chorus:

I can be what I want to

And all I need is to

Get my boogie down

I can be what I want to

You know all I need is to

Get my boogie down

You can be what I want to

And all I need is to

Get my boogie down

I got my certain and my sure 'nough on

And I'm puttin' on my really for real

You face that curtain with your best stuff on

A stick a stone
it's the end of the road,

it's the rest of the stump
it's a little alone

it's a sliver of glass,
it is life,it's the sun,

it is night ,it is death,
it's a trap, it's a gun.

the oak when it blooms,
a fox in the brush,

the knot in the wood,
the song of the thrush.

the wood of the wind,
a cliff, a fall,
