Lionel Richie , Hello

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

Lionel Richie, Easy

Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anyboddy put charms on eme?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everbody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to fake it!
No!
Ooh,that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like Sunday morning

Lionel Richie, Se La

Se La
Lionel Richie
(Words by Lionel Richie)
(Music by Lionel Richie and Greg Phillinganes)

You know sometimes I sit and wonder
Just how this world would be
If we had all the people laughing
And everybody living in harmony

Chorus:
We have to say se la, se la
Talking to the people
Se la, se la
It's time you tought about it
Se la, se la (hey, hey)
Se la, se la

There would be no more living in desperation
And no more hatred and deceit
Tell me can you imagine
All the children playing
And everyone dancing in the street

Chorus:
We se la, se la, se la
Do it, say it
Se la, se la
Talking to everybody (yeah)
Se la, se la
You play for the people (man)
Play for the people
(Ad lib)

It's time you know for everyone to come together
I know it's hard but this dream must come to light
Because life should be one big celebration
I'm talkin' to you now
Only we can make things right

Chorus:
We se la, se la, se la
Counting on everybody (yeah)
Se la, se la
I know you thought about it
Se la, se la
Se la, se la
We wanna say
Se la, se la (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Se la, se la
Do it on the good foot
Se la, se la
Se la, se la
Talk about it, sing about it
Talk about it, sing about it
Talk about it, sing about it
Se la, se la

(Huh) All the children
Tell me about the children
We've got to help them now to survive
One world, one heart, is our salvation
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Let us keep the dream alive

Se se la, se la, se la
Se la, se la, se la
Se la, se la
Well... I know, I know
Se la (say it), se la (say it)
(Say it), (say it)
Se la, se la
Everybody come together

Chorus:
Se la (say it), se la (say it)
Don't hold back no longer
Se la, se la
Can't you see it, just believe it
Se la (say it), se la, ooh, ooh, ooh
Talking to you now

Lionel Richie, Goodbye

I wanted you for life
You and me in the wind
I never thought there'd come a time
That our story would end
It's hard to understand
But I guess I'll have to try
It's not easy
To say goodbye...

For all the joy we shared
All that time we had to spend
Now if I had one wish
I'd want forever back again
To look into your eyes
And hold you when you cry
It's not easy
To say goodbye...

I can remember all those great times we had
There were so many memories. Some good, some bad
Yes and through it all
These memories will last
Forever...

There' peace in where you are
Maybe all I need to know
And if I listen to my heart
I'll hear your laughter once more
And so I got to say
I'm just glad you came my way
It's not easy to say
Goodbye.....

Lionel Richie, Endless Love

My love,

There's only you in my life

The only thing that's bright


My first love,

You're every breath that I take

You're every step I make


And I

(I-I-I-I-I)

I want to share

All my love with you

No one else will do...


And your eyes

Your eyes, your eyes

They tell me how much you care

Ooh yes, you will always be

My endless love


Two hearts,

Two hearts that beat as one

Our lives have just begun


Forever

(Ohhhhhh)

I'll hold you close in my arms

I can't resist your charms


And love

Oh, love

I'll be a fool

For you,

I'm sure

You know I don't mind

Oh, you know I don't mind


'Cause you,

You mean the world to me

Oh

I know

I know

I've found in you

My endless love


Oooh-woow

Boom, boom

Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom


Oooh, and love

Oh, love

I'll be that fool

For you,

I'm sure

You know I don't mind

Oh you know-

I don't mind


And, YES

You'll be the only one

'Cause NO one can deny

This love I have inside

And I'll give it all to you

My love

My love, my love

My endless love

Lionel Richie, You Are

Baby you'll find
There's only one love
Yours and mine
I've got so much love

And needing you so
My love for you
I'll never let go
I've got so much love

All I want is to hold you
Let me show how much I love you baby (Show you)
I don't mind and I don't mind (Loving you)
Girl I love you
There's no one above you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

Tell me it's true
I can't believe you do what you do
I've got so much love
And my love you'll see
We'll stay together, just you and me
I've got so much love

Only you (know me)
Tell me how to love you baby (show me)
I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me)
Girl, I love you
Always thinking of you

(Chorus)
You are the sun
You are the rain
That makes my life this foolish game
You need to know
I love you so
And I'd do it all again and again

I know you know the way I feel
And I need your love for always
Cause when I'm with you
I fall in love
Again and again and again, Baby.

(Repeat Chorus)

Lionel Richie, All Around the World

As I was walking down a
path in the woods one day I
came across a vision that caught my eye

There was a lady standing
right there beside a well, and I heard her whisper
what you wish for you can have

Then the vision went away
I thought that I had lost her
The girl I had been waiting for
I can’t believe I just saw her
She is the finest thing, I ever could imagine
Now I want her next to me, cause I want, cause I want more
Whoahhhh

Chorus
Come to me my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well and
You’re the one I’ll always cherish
I ya ya ya ya ya
Come to me my Cinderella
Straight to my wishing well and
You’re the one I’ll love forever
I ya ya ya ya ya

She is a gentle flower, she is the sun and rain and
She could be the reason for my joy and my pain
The first thing I see each morning, the last thing I see at night
You know if I could have all that
That’s all I wish for in my life

Why did she have to go
What do I say to find her
This girl is the only one
I cannot deny her
She’s making love to my mind
And I can’t forget this feeling
It’s her voice that’s calling
It’s her voice I need
Whoahhh

Chorus

Ohhh Cinderella
Ohhh Cinderella
Ohhh Cinderella
You’re all that I want
You’re all that I need
Come back to me now
Cinderella

Chorus Fade

Lionel Richie, How Long

Every time I see you and I look into your eyes
There’s a feeling that I get
And it’s way down deep inside, girl
I’ve been trying to hold on, but you say that you’re not sure
I just hope you realize what my heart is going through

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to come

I know all about the hurt and the problems in the past
I know why you’re scared of love,
‘Cause you think it just won’t last long
Well, I’m here to tell you what I’m saying is all true
There ain’t nobody else in life
That can take the place of you

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to run

Why can’t we just run away, and oh run
A place where we can be alone and nobody finds us, run
Can we both just run away, and oh run
Girl, I can’t wait to have you

How long, must this feeling go on
How long, must I stand the pain and
How long, must this feeling go on
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the right time to come, to come

Lionel Richie - Tell Me

1st verse.
Sad,sad story, about all the things I've heard.
Now baby, there's something on my mind.
You said I was your true love.
But I hear you're foolin' 'round.

Lionel Richie, Up All Night

So I found me a little thing
Wanna keep me up all night
She told me don't be so uptight
She wanna keep up all night
Damn she might kill me

I found me a pretty little thing
Wanna keep me up all night
She says she gonna make things all right
She wanna keep me up all night
Damn she might kill me

I'm in Brazil where the scene so fire
Where the girls and trees can get hotter
Everything that I see talks to me
Can't believe how the girls be walking

I've been here about an hour
They keep saying come talk to me
I keep thinking there's one and they say us three
Standing there getting out of the shower
Turning around showing me the thing got power

Started to converse and I sense a problem
And I'm thinking girl I can always solve them
But she didn't want to hear it
She says she is all mine and I can make him feel it
All along I was thinking it was gonna be her plus two
Now they're looking like Lionel the joke's on you
Next thing I'm feeling is her up and down
While the girls are watching

So I found me a little thing
Wanna keep me up all night
She told me don't be so uptight
She wanna keep up all night
Damn she might kill me

I found me a pretty little thing
Wanna keep me up all night
She says she gonna make things all right
She wanna keep me up all night
Damn she might kill me

I thought there ain't a thing I ain't seen
Until she pulled out a banner for me
She said whatever you want
I know I needed a little vacation
But now I may never go home

So I found me a little thing
Wanna keep me up all night
She told me don't be so uptight
She wanna keep up all night
Damn she might kill me
