Leo Sayer ... anyone ?!?

[azimut]

Hi folks !!! ... ...

Recently, I have finally got hold of a collection of songs I "heard" when I was little ... ... ... ... The album is called "The Essential Leo Sayer - Endless Journey" ... ... !!! ... and "Yes!" ... I am very much a "Funk"ish sort of person ... ... LOL LOL

Well, anyway ... (always "drifting" with my "stream of thoughts" ! ... ) ... I am searching for the lyrics of the songs ... ... like :

- I can't stop loving you
- You make me feel like dancing
- How much love
- Thunder in my heart
- Till you come back to me
- Raining in my heart

... LOL LOL ... you "got" the picture I do believe ... !!! ...

Thank you very much for your attention and assistance, in advance !

"I Can't Stop Loving You (Though I Try)"

"so you're leaving
in the morning
on the early train
I could say everything's alright
I could pretend and say good bye

got your ticket
got your suitcase
got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
I could pretend and you won't know
that I was lying

'cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
no, I can't stop loving you
though I try

took a taxi
to the station
not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
maybe the last time, I don't know

feeling humble
I heard a rumble
on the railway track
and when I hear THAT whistle blow
I'LL walk away and you WON'T Know
that I was lying

'cause I can't stop loving you
no, I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
though I try

'cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
no, I can't stop loving you
though I try"

"You Make me feel like Dancing"

"You've got a cute way of talking
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
I'm in a spin you know
Shaking on a string you know

You make me feel like dancing
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh

Quarter to four in the morning
I ain't feeling tired no no no no no
Just hold me tight and leave on the light
Cause I don't want to go home

You put a spell on me
I'm right where you want me to be

You make me feel like dancing
I want to dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing

You take me higher
I'm gonna catch on fire cause

You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing Im gonna dance my life away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh

You really slipped me a potion
I can't get off of the floor
All this perpetual motion
You gotta give me some more
You gotta give me some more

And if you'll let me stay well dance our lives away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
I feel
You make me feel like dancing

"How Much Love"

"How much love do you need
before you give your love to me
how much time before it grows
how much love I wanna know

what can I do what can I say
the last thing I want is to drive you away
how much love does it take
how much love for heaven sake

how much love how much love
do I rush right in or do I hesitate
how much love how much love how much love

am I tryin' too hard
give me some kind of clue
there must be a way to get through to you
should I come on strong or do I hesitate
do I rush right in or do I wait

how much love how much love
do I rush right in or do I hesitate
how much love how much love how much love

I got so much love
don't know where to begin
I'm pleadin' with you babe
you gotta let me in"

"Thunder In My Heart"

"standing here alone with you
wondiring what it is that I'm supposed to do
and there you are with the love light in your eye
the bridges are burnt down
your arms are open wide
am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore
is this the real thing?
I don't know but I've never been here before

and I feel a thunder in my heart that I just can't control
I feel a thunder in my heart that I just can't control
should I walk away or follow my soul?
I feel a thunder in my heart
where it comes from I just don't know
oh no, oh no

there's a storm ragin' deep in my soul
there's a howlin' wind that I just can't control
there'sa fire inside me I can't explain
every time you touch me my love falls like rain
I've only known you for an hour or more
the time is standin' still
your love has opened up the door

I feel a thunder in my heart
it takes my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
will I ever be the same?
I feel a thunder in my heart
it's telling me you're here to stay
oh no, oh no

there's a thunder in my heart
there's a thunder in my heart
there's a thunder in my heart
there's a thunder in my heart

take me baby I'm all yours
do just what you wanna do with my love
let's not let the night overtake us
'cos what's happening right now may make or break us
do you feel the way I do?
open up your heart now baby
I'm comin' through

I feel a thunder in my heart
takin' my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
since I met you I'll never be the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
I know you're here to stay

I feel a thunder in my heart
takin' my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
since I met you I'll never be the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
I know you're here to stay"

"Raining In My Heart"

"The sun is up, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But its raining
Raining in my heart

The weatherman says fine today
He doesn't know that you've gone away
And its raining
Raining, raining in my heart

Oh, oh mystery, misery
What's gonna become of me

I tell myself, the blues won't show
But pretty soon all these tears will flow
Raining, raining in my heart
Oh, oh misery, oh misery
Oh, whats gonna become of me

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud around to spoil the view
But its raining, raining in my heart"

Vette, you get my vote. I have found plenty of references to Leo Sayer performing that song in the early/mid-80s. It's on his album, etc. Just can't find his particular lyrics.

... ... Yes! ,,, exactly ... !!! ...

Thank you ever so much for that input !!! ... I was beginning to feel I was the only one on "this planet" to "know" his version ... ... which by the way, it just ... ... ... I don't know !!! ... hearing this "rendition" just ... "does it" for me ... the bass, the drumming ... THAT'S it !!! ... it's one of those "randitions of songs" that the "bass and drumming" of it, is simply "devine" to my ears ... ...

OH! I am such a "Funk" appreciator !!! ... LOL LOL

My tastes in music are all over the planet, including Leo Sayer. He seems like a good person and I feel he is most musically gifted. I do remember at the height of his popularity that he didn't appear exactly mainstream. So what?

You just said a "mouthful" ... !!! ... "My tastes in music are all over the planet" ... indeed !!! ... both literally and "expressingly" ... !!! ... ...


I guess "funk" has got hold of a very special ... "part of my being" ... ... a sort of "language" my "body understands and rejoices in" the most ... !!! ... ...
My "mind" ... now that is a whole different "galaxy" all together ... !!! ...

Hi there azimut. I've been looking for those lyrics for 2 days. If you have the song, I suggest you play it over and over while you or a friend write the lyrics down. I'll keep looking, howeve,r I don't have much confidence. Since you use the internet, you might try locating a Leo Sayer web site or fan club and see if they can help. Don'y lose that cheery atitude. Wish I could do more.

[azimut]

My good friend, thank you very much for your attentive concern ... !!! ...

The very good news is that, it is "done" ... !!! ...

If you go on thread entitled "Aphroditian Librans' Wonder", you will see the lyrics of Leo Sayer's rendition, THERE !!!

Again, thank you ...

I hope you are still online. These lyrics are the song. They come from Aretha Franklin's version. This version has more words in it however I promise you it is the song. Play it and follow these lyrics and you'll see what I'm talking about. Have fun. A very, very good song.


Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
Aretha Franklin
(Stevie Wonder, Clarence Paul, Morris Broadnax)
Album- Let Me In Your Life
1973 #3 Pop #1 R&B
Transcriber: Awcantor@aol.com

Though you don't call any more
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)
I wanna tell ya baby changes I've been goin' through
Missin' you - listen you
(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride (my pride)
Gonna beg ya to please - baby please see me
(Baby won't you see me)
I'm gonna walk out by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh for ya baby
(Till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do)

Baby for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
Hear my plea (hear my plea)
I've got to make you see (gotta make you see)
That our love is dying (our love is dying)

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must - somehow I must - how I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door (your door)
Tap on your window pane (tap on your window pane)

I'm gonna camp by your steps
By the chance I'll get through to you
I've gotta the change your view baby
(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

(Till you come back to me - that's what I'm gonna do)

I'm gonna rap on your door (rap on it)
Tap on your win- (tap on it) - dow pane
Open up baby
I'm gonna rap on your door (rap on it)
Tap on your - tap on your (tap on it)
Tap on your - tap on your window pane
(Tap on your window pane)
I'm gonna rap on your door (rap on it)
FADES-
Tap on your door (tap on it) window pane
Open up baby...
