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.

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

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!

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

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

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'

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

Feel Like Making Love Lyrics – George Benson

Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing

[Chorus:]
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come true

Oh baby

When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin's start to show

[Chorus]

In a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
When I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my might

[Chorus]

Strollin' in the park, walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When you talk to me, when you're touching me
Making my dreams come true

Strollin' in the park, walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When I talk to you, when I'm touching you
Making my dreams come true

[Chorus]

Lady Love Me (One More Time) Lyrics – George Benson

Ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

If you're askin' me to say
Livin' life without you, girl, is alright
If you really want to know
I'd have to say it's dangerous to my mind

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Let me love you all the time
Lady, love me

Yes, I'm askin' you to stay
Remembering it used to be so right
If you're askin' for the truth
I'd have to say I won't believe it's goodnight

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Lady, love me

Doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...doo...

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Love me, lady, all the time

Let me love you one more time
Hold me closer, now you're mine
Lady, love me one last time
Love me, lady
Oh, love me, lady

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me one last time
Lady, love me (Love me, lady, all the time)

Let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Lady, love me (Love me, lady, now you're mine)

Let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine

Love Ballad Lyrics – George Benson

I have never been so much
In love, in love before
What a difference
How true love made in my life
So nice and so right

Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How it feels when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby what we have is much more than they see
Oh baby, whoa yeah

I'm in love, I'm in love with you girl

I say love I never knew that a touch
Could mean, could mean so much
What a difference
And when we walk hand in hand
I feel, I feel so real

Lovers come and then lovers go
That's what the people say
Don't they know
How I feel when you love me
Hold me and say you care
And what we have is much more than they can see
And what we have is much more than they can see
Baby, what we have is much more than they can see

Oh, yeah

Beyond The Sea Lyrics – George Benson

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!

[Instrumental]

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt, yeah!
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet, I know we'll meet, beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing!

And never again I'll go sailing!
And never again I'll go sailing!
Sailing... yeah!
