Just Once Babe ...

Just Once ...

Let me start with this song Just Once .. It is not only tribute to James Ingram but it ties down to my own experiences too.

Just Once


 [Verse 1]
I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are
Back where we were before
Seems nothin' ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay
Or head on out the door

 [Chorus]
Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?
Why we never last for very long
What are we doin' wrong?
Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
(Hmm hmmmm)

 [Verse 2]
I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowin'
Whatever we've got goin'
And it seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

 [Chorus]
Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?
Why the good times never last for long
Where are we goin' wrong?
Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it
If we could just get to it

 [Bridge]
Just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to goodbye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another
We're no good without each other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

 [Chorus]
Just once
Can we find a way to finally make it right?
Whoa, to make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it
If we could just get to it
Just once

 [Outro]
Whoa oh, we can get to it
Just once
The music never ends ...

James Ingram & Patti Austin - How Do You Keep The Music Playing



 [James Ingram + Patti Austin + both]
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
Too fast?

 How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things
To say?

 And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?

 And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart won't fall apart
Each time you hear his name?

 I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love
The more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever

 If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better
As it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends

 I know
How do you keep the music playing?
The way I feel for you is now or never
How do you make it last?
The more I love
The more that I'm afraid
How do you keep the song from fading?
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Keep the song from fading
Forever

 If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better
As it goes
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
How do you keep it playing, baby? Oh (Oh)
I wanna know, how do you do it?

How do you keep the music playing over and over?

I Don't Have The Heart - James Ingram


 [Verse 1]
Your face is beaming
You say it's 'cause you're dreaming
Of how good it's going to be
You say you've been around
And now you've finally found
Everything you wanted and needed in me

 [Chorus]
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

 [Verse 2]
Inside I'm dying
To see you crying
How can I make you understand
I care about you
So much about you, baby
I'm trying to say this as gently as I can

 [Chorus]
'Cause I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way you want me to

 [Bridge]
You're so trusting and open
Hoping that love will start
But I don't have the heart, oh no
I don't have the heart

 [Chorus]
I don't have the heart to hurt you
It's the last thing I wanna do
But I don't have the heart to love you
Not the way that you want me to

 [Outro]
(I don't have the heart) Ooh
Baby, I don't have the heart, I don't have the heart
(I don't have the heart) Ooh, ooh
Baby, I don't have
(I don't have the heart)
(I don't have the heart)
(I don't have the heart)

(I don't have the heart)
