Breaking Down - Randy Crawford

It's not the world But it's me that's near the end Losing you Was losing everything i had It's been a while since I've noticed the first crack But your eyes just locked me up And just have to watch myself fall 勝手 生きたら 離れて 必要なのは 間と君の心を戻すこと But I can't I'm breaking down 散らばっている少しずつ消えていく in the dark いつか 滑って 壊れたら Please find my pieces and put me into one You seem just fine, almost better on your own I don't blame you cause hearts never break the same もう一度 僕を呼んでくれれば 恋しかった 会いたかったと 涙を流すだろう 勝手 生きたら 離れて 必要なのは 時間と君の心を戻すこと But I can't I'm breaking down 散らばっている少し ずつ消え ていく in the dark いつか 滑って 壊れたら Please find my pieces and put me into one I'm breaking down 散らばっている少しずつ消えていく in the dark いつか 滑って壊れたら Please find my pieces and put me into one

All alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone Even when I was a child I've always known There was something to be find You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone On the edge of sleep My old familiar friend Comes and lies down next to me And I can see you coming from the edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight Even with my eyes shut tight I still see you coming Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down

If you disrespect anybody that you run in to How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day Respect yourself, respect yourself If you don't respect yourself Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na Respect yourself, respect yourself If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man

Memories serve, only to show What came before, wouldn't have grown Maybe the past, has brought me to this Maybe this time, love will be missed I hear my heart calling for you And I believe you feel it too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again I want something that won't change Respecting yourself, reaching down deep That's how I'll find, a love so complete It became clear, the very, very first time It's more than a dream, that you could be mine I hear my heart calling for you and I believe you feel it, too I want something permanent, like the stars in the sky Permanent, like the mountain high Permanent, as time goes by, I want something I can count on Permanent, like the sun and the rain Permanent, like a burning flame Permanent, I'll say it again, say it again, say it again I want something that will never change What's my only way, I could never say that I don't feel the same You've brought me somewhere I can feel safe Don't you feel it, don't you feel it I want something, say it again, say it again Like the stars in the sky Like the mountain high, as time goes by I want something that will never change I can count on, like the stars in the sky Permanent I'll say it again, I want something that will never change I want something permanent, yes I do Permanent, yes I do, gonna say it again, say it again Permanent, like a burning flame, like the sun and rain I want something that won't change

No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things That went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the grief doesn't last It is gone I've forgotten the past And the memories I had I no longer desire Both the good and the bad I have flung in a fire And I feel in my heart That the seed has been sown It is something quite new It's like nothing I've known No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets All the things that went wrong For at last I have learned to be strong No! No regrets No! I will have no regrets For the seed that is new It's the love that is growing for you

What's it all about, Alfie Is it just for the moment we live What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie What will you lend on an old golden rule As sure as I believe There's a heaven above, Alfie, I know there's something much more Something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed, you're nothing, Alfie When you walk, let your heart lead the way And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie

She only smiles He only tells her That she's the flowers The wind And spring In all her splendour Sweetly surrendering The love That innocence brings Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Now I watch closely And I watch wholly I can't imagine Love so rare She's young and tender But will life bend her I look around Is she everywhere? Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's keen Without a doubt With love so captive So sorely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz Pure and simple Born in a world Where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing Almaz You lucky, lucky thing
