"Snowfall On The Sahara" (1999)

A Song For You lyrics - Natalie Cole

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Reverend Lee lyrics - Natlaie Cole

This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy southern baptist minister
Who thinks he's got his program all together, until he meets a lady who lets him know
That he ain't got it all together, his name is reverend dr. lee
Reverend lee, he went to the water, and he prayed to the lord
About old satan's daughter, it seems in a dream, child, while he lay sleeping
She climbed in his bed, starts rubbing and weeping, ah, she was twisting and turning, hmm
She was begging and pleading, loving and burning, panting, breathing, ooh, ah, ah
Reverend lee, she said, lord knows that I love you child, but I would not even, no, no,
Place God above you, well reverend lee, he lifted his arms high
Said heavenly father, take me home to the sky, he said lord please don't test me
Not down where she touched me, my mind is so hazy

And you know my body is hungry, oh yeah, and then God rolled the thunder
And he hurled the lightening uh, oh, he seemed to be angry
Well it really was frightening, yes he was, oh the thunder grew louder
Darkened conditions, and just then a voice said, God cannot be petitioned
Just then the devil, oh he emerged from the water, and he said in that dry voice
Your God will not barter, reverend lee, he went screaming from the water
And he was hotly pursued by old satan's daughter
And she said, she said reverend, ooh, reverend, reverend lee
She said reverend lee, do it to me, she said, she said, uh, reverend lee
(reverend, reverend, reverend, reverend lee), I don't want nobody else to do it
Do it but you, do it, do it, yeah you, do it, do it to me

Snowfall On The Sahara lyrics - Natalie Cole

Your love, like wine. Tasting sweeter to me every day
Your kiss, devine. And it melts the cold inside away
All of my life, I've been waiting for a love like this
And now, that you're here romance is just a second away.
It's gonna stay

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over, 'Til the
Mojave red turns into blue
'Til my lungs get tired of breathing, and my heart stops it's beating,
then I'll stop loving you.

And in the dark, when there's no one calling out your name.
Well I'll hold you so tight, and I'll whisper to you once again, and again

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue.
When the music's no longer playing and the faithless start praying,
I'll stop loving you.

When the snow falls on the Sahara (uh huh), 'Til the sun freezes over,
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long Time) When my lungs
get tired of breathing (oh) and my heart stops it's beating

I'll stop loving you.
I don't want to waste a single heartbeat
And sometimes my words get in the way
But I hear your love just fine. Just Fine
And it's gonna take a long time

'Til the snow falls on the Sahara, 'Til the sun freezes over
'Til the Mojave red turns into blue (That's a long time)
When the music's no longer playing, and the faithless start praying
I'll stop loving you, oh. uh huh uh huh (When the snow falls on the
Sahara, and the sun freezes over, when the Mojave red turns into blue)
I'll be loving you, baby. (When my lungs get tired of breathing and my
heart stops it's beating) I'll stop loving you.

More Than You'll Ever Know lyrics - Natalie Cole

Take my hand
We'll walk awhile, we'll talk awhile
Feel my love
Always there beside you

Be the one
I know you'll tell me everything
You are the one
I cherish more than anything

I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
I love you more than you'll ever know

Think of me
And know that I'll believe in you
There'll always be
This precious time together

With every tear
A love so strong
No words could ever say
A love to last forever

I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
I love you more than you'll ever know

Take my hand
We'll walk awhile, we'll talk awhile
Feel my love
Always there beside you

Be the one
I know you'll tell me everything
You are the one
I cherish more than anything

I love you more than you'll ever know
I love you more than you'll ever see
More than my heart could ever show
I love you more than you'll ever know

Say You Love Me lyrics - Natalie Cole

Say you love me, say I'm the one your eyes see
Tell me you need me deep down inside like I need you
You see I need you to see me through, I wanna hear you say Darling, Darling
I love you, so say, say you love me, (Say you love me) yeah, yeah
(Say you love me) Say, just say you love me
(Say you love me, say you love me) Through the rain, and through the cold
Together we will never grow old, sometimes the going will get a little tough
And I must admit living with me can be rough, I need you to see me through
I get off when you say, baby, baby, baby, I love you
(Say) So say, (say) just say you love me, wanna hear you say (say) say
(Say) you love me (you love me), oh, ooh let me be, I wanna be your woman
Together we can make a stand, I know, I know, let me take your trembling hand
Somewhere in God's country we'll settle on a piece of land
Because I need you to see me through, I just wanna hear you say
Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby, baby I love you, I love (say) you
So say (Say) say (you love me), say you love me
Oh, just wanna hear you say, say, say, (say), say, (say you love me)
Oh--oh--, (Say) Say (say) tell me baby that you love me (say)
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, (repeat say)

Everyday I Have The Blues lyrics - Natalie Cole

Dig count Basie
Blow Joe's blues away
Every night, every noon, every sun, every moon

Yeah
Every way
Yeah
Everywhere
Yeah
I get the blues
Yeah
And I don't care
Yeah

I run away and hide
But find they follow me there
You run away and hide
But find they follow you there
There, well get up

Yeah
Get fed up and they'll let up
Dig
Get up and go now
Let up and blow now
You give them their way everyday
Yes, every doggone day
You're singing the blues each time I see ya

Every day
You're singing the blues
Those blues won't free ya
Every day
I sort of expected
Once you'd shake'em
Every day
But now I can dig
They're what you make them
Every day
What about it?
Soon as I'm wakin'
Everyday I have the blues
Every dawnin' I dig
They're waitin' there to wig me
Every day
What about it?

Oh
Everyday I have the blues
What are you gonna get but blue
Wish that I could help you
Baby, what can I do?
When you see me worried baby
I've had a few
Because it's you I'd hate to lose
What about settlin'
How're you gonna keep 'em from meddlin'?
You should be movin'
Nobody loves me

Oh
You need some groovin'
Nobody seems to care
The blues have gone their bit- Yeah!
Baby don't seem to care
Her lovin' cupboard is bare

Nobody loves me
Your troubles growin'
You should be goin'
Nobody seems to care
The blues have won, that's it yeah
How're you gonna get her to care?

Gotta be a millionaire
Speaking of bad luck
Luck and trouble
And you know I've had my share
The day they metcha
You let them getcha
So now you might as well split, yeah

Yes man, I'm diggin', you tell me
I'm gonna pack my suitcase
I hear ya talkin'

With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming lyrics - Natalie Cole

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true, I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow never to part

When I'm so afraid
To close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
'Coz I can't believe that you're really mine

I'm so afraid
This is just an illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Please, pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

You're really mine
Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming
With my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open

His Eyes, Her Eyes lyrics - Natalie Cole

His eyes, her eyes
Warm and quiet lovers
Gazing, drowning
Lost in what they see
His words, her words
Strangely unrevealing
Question, answer
Careful as can be

What they say with their eyes
How they give themselves away with their eyes
They betray with their eyes
Everything they are

Is it just in a kiss
That their fences turn to dust in a kiss
Ooh they must in a kiss
Promise their tomorrows

His move, her move
Is it now or never
Heaven, Eden
Could be theirs forever

For his eyes and her eyes
Are yours and mine

Since You Asked - Natalie Cole

What I'll give you since you've asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and rocky weather

Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow's time, peace of mind

As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
And turning time to flowers

I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before

We have seen a million stones
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter

Taken off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun

Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward

This is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Oh, this is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Nothing more

Gotta Serve Somebody - Natalie Cole

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Somebody, somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord

"Stardust" (1996)

There's A Lull In My Life lyrics - Natalie Cole

Ohh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace

Ohh, there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day

The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning

Ohh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end

The ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life

Oh, the clock it stops ticking
And the world just stops turning, everything stops
But the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning

Oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end

This ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life
There's a lull in my life

Stardust lyrics - Natalie Cole

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart

You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is like the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you

Oh when our love was new
And each kiss and inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightengale, he tells his little fairytale
Of paradise where roses grew

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The melody of love's refrain
