(sung a cappella)

(1st vs.)
If you will can you imagine
A woman much like me?
Living life it didn't matter
Having eyes that could not see

A breath of life from love
A gift salvation true
Don't know quite how it happened
I have discovered you

(Chorus)
Gift Of Love
You gave me
A Gift Of Love
You saved me from myself
A Gift Of Love
You saved me
Calmed my fears set on the shelf

(2nd vs.)
By some miracle you heard me
Crying deep into the night
Sounds like that of someone dying
With no hope the end of life
I now feel your warmth around me
No longer am I numb
Your words of love they reach me
Open arms for you to come

(Chorus)
A Gift Of Love
You gave me
You saved me from myself
A Gift Of Love
You saved me
Calmed my fears set on the shelf

(Bridge)
Now I understand the meaning
Of just knowing when it's right
It's as if you've put your mouth on mine
And gave me breath of life

(3rd vs.)
And if I had never met you
I could not imagine how
How I could have lived without you
Empty lonely but not now
I've learned to love again
To trust to let again
I can look at myself and not turn away
The truth my heart I'll say

(Chorus)
A Gift Of Love
You brought me
You taught me about true love
A Gift Of Love
You taught me
Sprinkling wonder from above

(Repeat Chorus)
A Gift Of Love
Your peace has calmed my soul
A Gift Of Love
You've rescued me and now I'm whole

(End)




2. Run Away

(Intro Chorus free style))

Run Away Run Away
Why do I always Run Away?
Need to talk to you so I can explain
Want that part of you to ease my pain

(1st vs)
Every now and then I realize what I’ve lost
What could’ve been love’s price for the cost
Haven’t got the guts I need to find the strength
So I can face the truth but I can’t go the length

(Chorus)
Run Away Run Away
Why do I always Run Away
Need to talk to you so I can explain
Want that part of you to ease my pain

(2nd vs.)
I’ve looked here and there and there again
The answers to my heart they lie deep within
I will take that chance might be the death of me
But I’ll risk that fate if it will set me free

(Chorus)
Run Away Run Away
Why do I always Run Away
I am so afraid to look behind
I realize I’m losing my peace of mind

(Bridge)
Need to do something fast
Or there’ll be nothing left
Trying hard to forget
How we were I cannot let it go....

(3rd vs.)
One thing that I know of my love for you
Is I can’t turn away I know that we’re not through
I will run to you if you’ll still let me in
Our love feels so good won’t run away again

(Chorus)
Run Away Run Away
Why do I always Run Away
Need to talk to you so I can explain
Want that part of you to ease my pain
(Last Chorus) (a cappella)
Run Away Run Away
Why do I always Run Away
I am so afraid to look behind
I realize I’m losing my peace of mind
(End)

(1st vs.)
You’re afraid and it’s clear
I can tell by the weight of your stare
As your silence rings true
As I sit here and talk to you
Please would you allow me to share
My tender point of view
You’re so guarded so protective
Of the pain of past lovers gone wrong
Open up to me just a little
Let me light upon your heart for a while

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll calm you down
And speak to your soul
Then you’ll realize

(Chorus)
That you’re Worthy of My Love
So Worthy of My Love

(2nd vs.)
Baby...It’s the way that we met
Chance of a lifetime
Embracing of souls felt at last
You touched me I touched you
Then somehow in your arms
Your warmth so certain cleansed me whole
Don’t be guarded I’ll protect you
Be open to what fate’s offering here
I’m sure that you’ll see if you
Let go and trust me
No need to hide behind fear

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll kiss your soul
And make your heart smile
Just give me a chance
To prove to you that you’re

(Chorus)
Worthy of My Love
So Worthy of My Love
(Bridge) (Instrumental/Ad libs)
Oh...Oh let me in
Oh I can feel you
I can touch you
I know I can

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll hold your soul
And make you feel safe and secure
Then you will know
You are
(Chorus)
Worthy of My Love
Worthy of My Love
Worthy of My Love
Worthy of My Love....Yes
(End)

(1st vs.)
Sometimes I'm lonely when I think of you and me
There are nights I have to cry, how we were you and I
I get so desperate cause I feel that no one cares
I just lie here in the dark, hurts so much since we're apart

(Chorus)
And they say that hearts can mend
Fall apart begin again
But it's not so easy when
You're alone
Sometimes

(2nd vs)
Sometimes I wonder why it never came to be
Like the sound I never heard when you left without a word

(Chorus)
And they say that hearts can mend
Fall apart begin again
But it's not so easy when
You're alone
Sometimes

(Bridge)
What we had could've been beautiful
Two hearts that could have beat as one
A love no two have ever known
A chance for us a chance for love

(Chorus)
And they say
That hearts can mend
Fall apart begin again
But it's not so easy when
You're alone.....
Some---------------times
Oooooh




6. I Need To Fly

(1st vs.)
I don’t care what you’re trying to tell me
I’m not hearing what you’ve got to say
I am wrong sometimes I admit it
But I’m not trying to do things your way
Round and round and round we go
Where we stop you don’t seem to know
While you’re still trying to figure it out
I’ll be escaping from your sea of doubt

(Chorus)
Oh I need to fly
Hey hey oooh well well
I.......please don’t ask why
(Spoken) Sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do

(2nd vs.)
Taking the air that I need to breathe
Walking around doing as you please
Sooner or later come back to you
Doing to me the things that you do
Coming in anytime you like
Faking me out like everything’s alright
What makes you think that I’m gonna sit still
Deny me the strength and I’ll show you the will

Chorus:
Oh I need to Fly
Oh oh If you know me so well
Please don’t ask why

(Bridge)
I said when I Fly
I see the world in a different way
When I Fly
The sun don’t rise and fall on every every every little thing you say

(Spoken)
What a refreshing concept
(Instrumental) (Ad lib)

(3rd vs.)
Listen to me I’m trying to talk to you
It’s you reality I’m trying to get to
You need to tell me what’s inside your head
I’m tired of the guessing games you’re playing instead
Round and round you still go
Where you stop you don’t seem to know
I’m going to leave you here to figure it out
I have escaped from your jail of doubt

Chorus:
Oh I need to fly (Look at me I’m flying Hey!!)
I.....Please don't ask why (I no longer need to ask why)
Hmmm Hmmmm
Well Uh

(Outro)
I'm flying I'm flying I'm flying I'm flying
I'm free oh sure feels good
Have you ever wanted to fly on your own
Don't stop....
Stop hesitating get on your wings and fly
Sure feels good
Hey...Hey...Hey
(End)




7. Have Mercy

(1st vs.)
Saw a poor little boy just the other day
Asked me could I spare a quarter
From what I make for my pay
You know it don’t make no kind of sense
For someone so young to grow so old so fast
Used to think youth was supposed to last

(2nd vs.)
Saw a wounded soldier walking down Main Street
Fell apart piece by piece lost his dignity
Nobody even held out a hand
It’s a wonder why he can’t comprehend
Tell Me

(Chorus)
Have Mercy (Somewhere in the world baby)
Have Mercy (On the hard streets of this town)
Have Mercy (In the thought you have right now)
Have Mercy (Please!!)

(3rd vs.) (Spoken)
(I’ve got a story to tell you come on come on come on come on)
You know the mind’s a funny thing
It sees what it wants to see
Caught up in it’s own helpless pain
Never will be free
Freedom survives if the people stay strong
You know what they say a burning fuse don’t last too long

(Chorus)
Have Mercy (Somewhere in the world baby)
Have Mercy (On the hard streets of this town)
Have Mercy (In the thought you have right now)
Have Mercy (Please!!)

(Instrumental) (8 measures)

(Chorus)
Have Mercy (Somewhere in the world baby)
Have Mercy (On the hard streets of this town)
Have Mercy (In the thought you have right now)

(4th vs.)
On the things you don’t believe
May the mind someday perceive
On the less fortunate and meek
May they save you from the drowning sea
Just when you think you’ve had enough
Have Mercy Have Mercy
On the one you Love!!!

8. Let There Be Peace On Earth
Words and Music by Jill Jackson Miller
@copyright 1955

Let there be Peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
the Peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
in perfect harmony
Let Peace begin with me
let this be the moment now
With every step I take
let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
and live each moment
In Peace eternally
Let there be Peace
On Earth
and let it begin with
Me

 

9. It's You
Music, Melody and Lyrics
By Tony Lucca
@copyright 1997 ASCAP
(lyrics changes slightly from a woman's point of view (smile)

I watch the sunset
While you watch it rise
Flame colored tear drops
Burning my eyes
As you find another day
Thousands of miles away
One more night finds me alone
Holding on
To the simple and sweetest thought of you
It's you it's you
I'll outdance the ocean parade in the sand
Waiting for you I'd wait like no other woman
For you to come into me lay skin to skin with me
Making me smile and smile
It's been a while
Still making my memories come true
Is you it's you
I told him all my thoughts on loneliness
Shared with him all my fears of afraid
Maybe there's no point in trying to paint the picture
Wondering what if he could've stayed
So don't send me no letter I won't drop you no line
Things will get better maybe in due time
Just keep me in your prayer and i'll keep you right here
Deep in this heart of mine cause I find
The only thing that helps me make it through
Is you it's you
Baby it's you
