I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Nat King Cole)

I'm gonna sit right down

And write myself a letter

And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet

They're gonna knock me off of my feet

A lot of kisses on the bottom

And I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say

"I hope you're feeling better"

And close with love, the way that you do

I'm gonna sit right down

And write myself a letter

And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna sit right down

And write myself a letter

And make believe that it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet, yeah!

Lots of kisses on the bottom

And I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say

"I hope you're feeling better"

And close with love, the way that you do

I'm gonna sit right down

And write myself a letter

And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna sit right down

And write myself a letter

And make believe it came

Make believe it came from you!

Mona Lisa lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Nat King Cole)

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you

You're so like the lady with the mystic smile

Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?

For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep

They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?

Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

That Sunday, That Summer lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Nat King Cole)

(If I had to choose just one day)

If I had to choose just one day

To last my whole life through

It would surely be that Sunday

The day that I met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills

Summer was a-coming in but fast

Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills

Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper

"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her"

If I had to choose one moment

To live within my heart

It would be that tender moment

Recalling how we started

Darling, it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that Sunday, that summer

(Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills)

(Summer was a-comin' in but fast)

(Lots of daffodils were showin' off their skills)

(Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper)

("Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her")

If I had to choose one moment

To live within my heart

It would be that tender moment

Recalling how we started

Darling, it would be when you smiled at me

That way, that Sunday, that summer

(If I had to choose just one day)

Ramblin' Rose lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Nat King Cole)

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose

Why you ramble, no one knows

Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown

Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

Ramble on, ramble on

When you're ramblin' days are gone

Who will love you with a love true

When you're ramblin' days are gone

(Ramblin' rose) ramblin' rose

(Ramblin' rose) ramblin' rose

Why I want you, heaven knows

Though I love you with a love true

Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

(Sing it, everybody now)

(Ramblin' rose) ramblin' rose

Why I want you, heaven knows

Though I love you with a love true

Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?

My Cherie Amour lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Stevie Wonder)

My Cherie Amour, lovely as a summer day

My Cherie Amour, distant as the milky way

My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore

You’re the only girl my heart leaps for

How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street

I’ve been near you but you never notice me

My Cherie Amour, won’t you tell me how could you ignore

That behind this little smile I wore

How I wished that you were mine

My Cherie Amour, my Cherie Amour

Maybe some day you’ll see my face among the crowd

Maybe some day you’ll share your little distant cloud

Oh, Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore

You’re the only girl my heart beats for

How I wish that you were mine

My One And Only Love lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Frank Sinatra)

The very thought of you makes my heart sing

Like an April breeze

On the wings of spring

And you appear in all your splendor

My one and only love

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms

In the hush of night

While you're in my arms

I feel your lips so warm and tender

My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven

A heaven that I've never known

The blush on your cheek whenever I speak

Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with such desire

Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire

I give myself in sweet surrender

My one and only love

My one and only love

Since I Fell For You lyrics - George Benson

(originally by Buddy Johnson)

When you just give love

And never get love

You'd better let love depart

I know it so

And yet I know

I can't get you out of my heart

You

Make me leave my happy home

You took my love and now you're gone

Since I fell for you

Love

Brings such misery and pain

I guess I'll never be the same

Since I fell for you

Well it's too bad

And it's too sad

But I'm in love with you

You love me

Then you snub me

But what can I do

I'm still in love with you

Well I

Guess I'll never see the light

I get the blues most every night

Since I fell for you

Since I fell for you...

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
