Down Here On The Ground lyrics - George Benson
Down here on the ground
Ain't no place for livin'
Down here on the ground
Watchin' sparrows fly
I watch the birds as they make their way
They're flyin' kind of free
And I wish it were me
Down here on the ground
Wantin' somethin' better
Down here on the ground
Wantin' somethin' more
One morning sure you will find
I've got wings on my mind
Wings to take me high
So if you hear a sound
From down here on the ground
Don't you know, my friend
It's only me, it's only me
Tryin' to fly
Down here on the ground
Wantin' somethin' better
Down here on the ground
Wantin' somethin' more
One morning sure you will find
I've got wings on my mind
Wings to take me high
So if you hear a sound
From way down here on the ground
Don't you know, my friend
It's only me, it's only me
Tryin' to fly
Me tryin' to fly, me tryin' to fly...
Me tryin' to fly
I Always Knew I Had It In Me (Version 1) lyrics - George Benson
(from "The Greatest" soundtrack)
I always knew I had it in me
My spirit cried, once locked in chains
Can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I lived and breathed what I believed
Now I've found my place in history
I always knew I had it in me
My spirit cried, once locked in chains
Can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I lived and breathed what I believed
Now I've found my place in history
I Always Knew I Had It In Me (Version 2) lyrics - George Benson
(from "The Greatest" soundtrack)
I always knew I had it in me
My spirit cried, once locked in chains
Can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I lived and breathed what I believed
Now I've found my place in history
How can I explain to you
The life and times that I lived through
The friends I loved along the way
Are still within my heart today
My life is only just beginning
I've got a lot of things to do and say
Maybe together we can find a way
Every man who stands alone
Gets the greatest burden to hold
I always knew I had it in me
My spirit cried, once locked in chains
Can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I lived and breathed what I believed
Now I've found myself in history
Listen to this lullaby
And if you find
It makes you cry
You'll understand a little more
The tears of ages gone before
The Greatest Love Of All lyrics - George Benson
(from "The Greatest" soundtrack)
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
[Chorus]
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
The One For Me lyrics - George Benson
You will always be the one for me
'Cause you're my sweetest song
When you're here beside me
Oh woman you set the child inside me free
Deep in my heart I've always dreamed that I'd be
The man you turn to girl
Sometimes it's so hard just to say what I feel
But you touch a part of me I can't conceal
And if my world should end tonight
You would be the one I'd wanna hold forever more
Oh girl if I lost it all tonight
I would reach for you
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
You will always be the one for me
So many times people just don't mean what they say
It's hard to know what's real
What I try to say, my love is true
It's as constant as the light that shines on you
And if my world should end tonight
You would be the one I'd wanna hold forever more
Oh girl if I lost it all tonight
I would reach for you
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
You will always be the one for me
And you were every reason woman
You were every dream
Without you in my life there'd be no life for me
Oh girl, if my world should end tonight
You would be the one, oh the one I'd want to hold forever more
Oh girl if I lost it all tonight
I would reach for you
'Cause you're my sweetest dream
You will always be the one for me
Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight Lyrics – George Benson
Do me wrong, do me right,
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but its time to go,
Dont say yes but please dont say no,
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You aint gonna see me gettin down on my knees.
Im undecided, and your hearts been divided,
Youve been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, I dont want to be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but its time to go,
Dont say yes but please dont say no,
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You aint gonna see me gettin down on my knees.
Im undecided, and your hearts been divided,
Youve been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, I dont want to be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Family Reunion Lyrics – George Benson
Girl
Ooh
Oh, baby
Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone
'Til the end of time we've taken a vow to
Keep our family strong
But we were both tryin' to grow in our own direction
Soon the magic of two meant nothing at all
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
Tell me what you want, let's get it together
No more wastin' time on what we're not
You and I should love each other forever
Family means a lot
So baby, let's make a move, find a new beginning
Set your feelin' the same way I feel tonight
Come on and give it a try (One more try)
Let's have a family reunion (Make things right)
Cause girl, it's a crime (It's a crime)
Not havin' you by my side (By my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (All my mind)
Without you here in my life (In my life)
And now that we've been through everything, we don't have to worry
Let's put the pain of the past behind
And girl I promise you that love will always stay in our lives
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Because I'm losin' my mind (I'm losin' my mind, baby)
Without you here in my life (Here in my life)
Come on and give it a try (Yeah, girl)
Let's have a family reunion (A family reunion)
You know it's a crime (You know it's a crime, baby)
Not havin' you by my side (I need you here by my side)
So don't you think it's 'bout time (It's 'bout time)
We had a family reunion (Make things right)
Let's get it together, baby
Let's get it together, baby
Together, together, together baby
Let's get it together, baby
Ooh
Oh, baby
Morning, noon, and night, I'm thinkin' about you
Things just ain't been right since you've been gone
'Til the end of time we've taken a vow to
Keep our family strong

A Telephone Call Away Lyrics – George Benson
You're nice, so nice, a very special person in my life
there's just so much about you, that I like
and it's been so good to know, you've always been
there for me, when I needed a friend
and ohhh by the way, I just want to say
[Chorus:]
Anytime, anytime, anytime of the night or day
I will be just, a telephone call away! uhmmm
Alright, there might, have been some times you haven't been so nice
small things about you, that I've never liked,
but then, I still must say that I can't remember when
I haven't thought of you as my dear friend
and ohh by the way, I just want to say , chorus:
I said if you need me,
ohhhhh, ohhh, I'll always be, just a telephone call awayyyy
and if you need someone to listen too, what you have to say, yeah!
I will be just a telephone call away!
There might, be times
we just might not run across, each others minds
too busy changing, with the changing times
but then ahhhh, I know there always come a morning when
I think about your smiling face again
and ohhhh by the way, here me say!
[Chorus:]
I said if you need me, ohhh, I'll always be, just a telephone call awayyyy,
and if you need someone to talk too, or just to pass the time of day,
I will be just a telephone call away!
and if you need someone to listen ,to all that stuff you got to say,
I will be just a telephone call away!
there's just so much about you, that I like
and it's been so good to know, you've always been
there for me, when I needed a friend

I will be just, a telephone call away! uhmmm

Someday We'll All Be Free Lyrics – George Benson
Hang onto the world as it spins around
just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self-respect, you're man the pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me someday we'll all be free
Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high
And lay your drams right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep, going. going on
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free
Hey, just wait and see someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll be free
It won't be long, take it from me someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me
just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self-respect, you're man the pride
Get yourself in gear, keep your stride
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me someday we'll all be free
Keep on walking tall, hold your head up high
And lay your drams right up to the sky
Sing your greatest song
And you'll keep, going. going on
Take it from me someday, we'll all be free
Hey, just wait and see someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, someday we'll be free
It won't be long, take it from me someday we'll all be free
Take it from me, take it from me, take it from me
Come In From The Cold Lyrics – George Benson
Come in from the cold, close the door from the hurt
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so
Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you
I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me
If I need you, and I found you and I want you, oh baby
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so
Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you
I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold
Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for
You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me
If I need you, and I found you and I want you, oh baby
Rainy Night In Georgia Lyrics – George Benson
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right
Rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it is rainin' all over the world
Neon signs flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy all night in Georgia
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
Rain
How many times I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes
I find me a place in a boxcar
Take out my old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right
But it's rainin' down Georgia
Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia
Sometimes y'all it just rains
Rains
One of them old slow drizzling
Rainin'
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right
Rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Oh, it is rainin' all over the world
Neon signs flashin'
Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night
The distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night
Rainy night in Georgia
Rainy all night in Georgia
Lord, it's rainin' all over the world
Rain
How many times I wondered
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes
I find me a place in a boxcar
Take out my old guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right
But it's rainin' down Georgia
Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia
Sometimes y'all it just rains
Rains
One of them old slow drizzling
Rainin'
Sailing Lyrics – George Benson
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
