roberta flack - killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly, with his song

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him, and listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
(repeat chorus)

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
(rpt chorus)

He sang as if he knew me, and all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And he just keep on singing, singing clear and strong
(repeat chorus till fade)

roberta flack - it might be you

Time
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Many be all we need is time

And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life

May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life.

roberta flack - making love

Here close to our feelings we touch again
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend
And we're all the better for each other

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Here no more confusion we see our lives
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive
But now neither one of us is breaking

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Now we know there's more to love
Than making love
And I'll remember you and making love
And I'll remember you

roberta flack - i can see the sun in late december

I can see the sun, I can see the sun

I bet ya you can't even see the sun
Ah, the sun is shining
Right before your eyes
I bet ya you can't even see yourself
'Cause when you're lost
Sometimes yourself is hard to find

*I can see the sun in late December
I see forgotten treasures 'neath the sea
Tides that defeat identity
Washing away the beauty that was in your mind

**I can hear the sounds you don't remember
The sounds of birds in trees in harmony
Chords being blown by a gentle breeze
Making the perfect melody you left behind

I bet ya you can't even see the moon
'Cause in your eyes you only see the darkest side
I bet ya you can't wish upon a star
'Cause in your life
Your pride has pushed your dreams aside, hey

(*Repete)

***I bet ya I can see the sun
See forgotton treasures 'neath the sea
Tides that defeat identity (I can see the sun)
Washing away the beauty in your mind

I bet ya I can hear the sounds
Sounds of birds in trees in harmony
Chords being blown by a gentle breeze
(Sounds you don't remember)

I can hear the sounds, sounds
Sounds you don't remember
I can see the sun, sun
Sun in late December

(***Repete)

I can see the sun (Repeat)

roberta flack - if ever i see you again

I've wondered all my life
How I could ever let you go
There's not a lot of change in my life
But one thing that I know

If ever I see you again
Maybe this time it well work out alright
Maybe this we won't say goodbye but only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again

Warm sleepy morning working up next to you
Feeling you close by side
Nothing on earth has ever felt better
Then the feelings I've felt deep inside
Sometimes it seems that I never lost you
And that your not really gone
Cause I had this dream
This wonderful dream
It just goes on and on

And If ever I see you again
Maybe this time it well work out alright
Maybe this we won't say goodbye but only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again...

roberta flack - hey that s no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Many loved before us, I know we are not new
In city and in forest they loved like me and you

Now it's come to distances, both of us must try
Your eyes filled with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you, your love stays with me
It's just the way life changes, like the shoreline of the sea

Let's not talk of love or chains, things we can't untie
Your eyes filled with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
And your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Many loved before us, I know we are not new
And in city and in forest they love like me and you

But now it's come to distances, both of us must try
Your eyes filled with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my heart goes with you, your love stays with me
It's just the way life changes, like the shoreline of the sea

But let's not talk of love or chains, things we can't untie
Your eyes are fill with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

roberta flack - only heaven can wait

We know that it?s all over, still we haven?t said goodbye,
Pretending life is wonderful, pretending you and I.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.
Waiting for love won?t make it happen,
Crying for love don?t mean you care ?..oh no,
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended.
Never?s too late, only heaven can wait.

In horoscopes, in true romance and Playboy magazine,
We lie in bed at night and search the pages for our dreams.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.
And waiting for love won?t make it happen,
Crying for love don?t mean you care ?..oh no,
Only when love has ended, can a heart be mended,
Ever?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

(Falando)
So we?ve been together too long, you and I.
There were the children, shared interests, creative interests, business interests, our In-laws,
and then just plain old bad habit.
Now things have changed. You?ve changed, I?ve changed and it?s time to move on.
So, my sweet, you kept doubting that I would understand what you meant when you said you needed your space.
Well, I do understand. I have some more reasons ? another purpose to my life ? and I?m ready to take my own space ? we both deserve it ? something real.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever,
Heaven?s too late, only heaven can wait.

Why do we stay together, we can?t wait forever.

roberta flack - the closer i get to you

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try

Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fooled the tricks of time
With the hearts of love they find
True love
In a special way

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving you all I've got
Your love has captured me

The closer I get to you
A feeling comes over me
Me too
Pulling closer sweet as the gravity

roberta flack - don t make me wait too long

I never mind waiting, ooh, ooh,

First a glance, then a smile, warmer than all of the
heavens;
Whispering to me your name, and asking of me the
same.
First a song, then a dance, that could have lasted
forever,
But time said we had to part, not caring if it broke
our hearts.
You said, "Hope we meet again."
I said, "Yes, just tell me when."
Please don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.

First a note, then a call, with such tender
conversation;
I knew alright it would be, if you came to visit me
First a kiss, then we were gone, to love's magic land
together,
But morning said you must go, not caring if it hurt us
so.
I ask you, "Will we again?"
You said, "Yes, just tell me when."
Please don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.

First you're here, then you're gone,
It's that same old heartbreak story;
Thought that you'd be in my life
For more than just one night.
But you say you got to leave,
It destroys me, boy, it hurts me;
Tell me what did I do wrong
For you to leave me all alone?
I don't care how long you'll be,
'Cause I will wait patiently,
But please, don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.
Don't make me wait too long.

roberta flack - the first time i ever saw your face

The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My Love.

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My Love.

And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I know our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, til the end of time
My Love.
And last, til the end of time.

The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your fa-ace
Your face.

roberta flack - will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight, you`re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes...
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment of pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sigh...
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You said that I`m the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun.

I`d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now
And I won`t ask again...
Will you still love me tomorrow?
So tell me now
And I won`t ask again...
Will you still love me tomorrow?

roberta flack - you make me feel brand new

I just wanted to tell you this

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain

Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
You taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
And you make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you make me feel brand new
My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me

Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that's sometimes back

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me?

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
And you make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you, yes

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you
You make me feel brand new

For God blessed me with you
And you make me feel brand new
I sing this song for you

roberta flack - gone away

I try to reason and I tell myself you'll return
But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute and if I hurt you I didn't intend it

You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby and you are gone

Forgive and forget it, that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, you know, you know I want you back
And in concluding my mental displeasure
I found I've lost my prize possession

You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby and you are gone

You were mine for only a minute and if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby and you are gone

roberta flack - and so it goes

We ran into her just by chance;
I saw it in a single glance
My oldest friend,
Your new romance
Must I remember?

You couldn't run;
She couldn't hide
She dropped her eyes,
You turned aside
You didn't want to hurt my pride,
But you knew that...

Love is a Rush of Wild Wind;
The Scent of a Summer Rose
A whistle blowing on a distant track
and when it goes, it goes

I know that tale I've heard it told
How bruises reach down to the soul
A love once warm, turns icy cold
And I know that

Love is a Rush of Wild Wind;
The Scent of a Sumemr Rose
A whistle blowing on a distant track
and when it goes, it goes

Take your heart where it longs to be
I won't bind you to a memory
I know if I wait,
it will happen to me oh ho"

roberta flack - my foolish heart

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
'Cause they all give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss...

His lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
'Cause this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fail and fall apart
It's love this time
It's love my foolish heart...
