Lyrics from "Shape This LOVE"
Written by Kristen Justice
Man With Two Faces
One day a man he came to me
He said he had a game he thought we should play
I fell down deep in his charm, I fell right into his arms
I know it’s not right but it doesn’t feel wrong
One look in his eyes, my troubles were gone
The brush of his hand and the touch of his skin
Sent trembles down my spine
CHORUS:
I know a man with two different faces
One that I loved and one that I hated
Taking advantage of his higher up places
With a lonely girl who needs to escape
You said I made the bed I lay down in
But wasn’t it you, that came to me
Turned off the lights, turned down the sheets
CHORUS 2:
I was looking for love in all the wrong places, along the way I found you there
I fell in love with the man with two faces; I thought you loved me so I didn’t care
How many times did you tell all your lies
So you could drink from our fountains of youth
I hear you found another lonely girl
Do you think that you can use her too?
You are the man with two faces
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
Man With Two Faces
A Thousand Directions
When we are younger and we think we understand
Think we know how to play these cards that we hold in our hands
We think we’re wise, but we’re only weak
And with our widened eyes, we are trying to speak
CHORUS:
I’m traveling in a thousand directions
I’ve got a million things on my mind
Don’t know how to get to somewhere
Without leaving something behind
Don’t know how I’m supposed to grow
Without shuffling this whole hand
Trying hard to play this game of life
Which way’s to get it right?
Trapped inside reality
Dreaming of my move to moving on
CHORUS
This is all there’s left to say
La da da da da da da la la da da da
La da da da da da da La
La da da da da da da La la da da da
La da da da da da da La
Gotta figure this out my way
Life’s a funny little game
That everybody has to play
Moonlight Magic
Underneath the full moon’s magic
Inside a jungle’s canopy
A woman is dancing like nobody’s watching
Seems like she’s watching me
Her body moves in the wind
Tempting me so carelessly
Dancing and twirling her brown eyes burning
Now she’s staring at me
CHORUS:
And I tried to ignore her but I could not turn away
Mi amore te adoro Didn’t know I could feel this way
Senorita boriqua demasiado bonita
Yo no puedo resistir, yo no puedo
Your eyes, your lips, I just can’t resist
CHORUS
Underneath the full moon’s magic
Inside a jungle’s canopy
Come to Me
I look in your eyes and I recognize that
There is something that we both cannot disguise
I see your face in my dreams night and day
Maybe this time I’ve realized I can’t escape
CHORUS:
Come to me
Let me in I’ll heal your broken heart
Come to me
And I will help you take away your pain, all of your pain
You may have never really felt all that love could be
Come and let me love you, simply come to me
Come to me, come to me
Don’t you think it’s time
We took hold of our lives
And let our hearts beat for themselves for just this little while
Let’s give this love a chance
Finally discover some happiness for ourselves
CHORUS
Think of what a love like ours could be, baby
If you just let your heart be free
Push aside the fears and just let go, just let go
Forget what they says right or wrong
You and I know we belong
It could be so simple, baby
CHORUS
Sweet Love
Come over here, let me hold you close
I want to feel your skin against mine
There are no expectations, flirtations brought us right here, right now
CHORUS:
To this sweet love, Oh, are we gonna cross this line
Into sweet love, Oh, I can’t get you out of my mind
Look into my eyes, lying side by side
I am like a child, feel so alive
Trembling hands and trembling hearts, forgotten how to play this part
Already I am falling in, just lead me into
CHORUS:
Let’s begin This sweet love, Oh, Lead me on across this line
Into sweet love, Oh, I can’t get you out of my mind
We didn’t mean to fall in
Unexpected attraction is where it begins
Only seconds to decide if this is wrong or right
These feelings I just can’t hide
This romance is taking its first dance
CHORUS:
Let’s begin Sweet Love, Crossing over that line
Into sweet love, Oh, I can’t get you out of my mind
Deep into the night making love by candlelight
This fire’s burning strong
Is this where my heart belongs?
Sweet Love
Forever Friend
Sometimes it seems I’ve lived a million lives
Each one just a bit differently through different eyes
So I know where you’re going, and I know where you’ve been
But the only thing I know for sure’s I want you to be my
Forever Friend
We’ve both loved and lost and learned to love again
We’ve felt the pain and found the love we thought we’d never find again
But of all of those lovers, you compare to no other
I want you as my lover, my companion, my forever friend
CHORUS:
You feel like home to me
There’s an elegant simplicity
When you look in my eyes I’m alive
I can feel your touch, I know you’re by my side
My heart opens wide
It feels so good to have you here with me
It’s a simple melody played out by a symphony
And I know every note of this score
I’ve sung this melody before
But this song has never had a sweeter end than with you
My Forever Friend
CHORUS 2:
You feel like home to me
There’s an elegant simplicity
When you look in my eyes , I’m alive
I can feel your touch, I want you by my side
My heart opens wide
CHORUS 1
You feel like home to me.
Shape This Love
Take this Love and shape it into something that won’t break my heart, my heart
Cause I see where we’re headed and I know this only goes so far
So please don’t try, don’t look me in the eyes
Cause I don’t think I could put up a fight
And don’t ask why, we’ll just sacrifice
Cause I don’t want to say goodbye
Well, this heart of mine, it’s seen this kind before
And it’s taken this time to realize you just can’t walk through every door
So let me be your teacher this time
I’ve learned a lot of lessons in this little life of mine
You are a friend of mine and I want you in my life forever more
So take this Love and shape it into something that won’t break my heart
Please don’t go
But I can’t stay
We both know, it’s better off this way
So don’t get too close
But don’t go too far
Cause it’s the only way we’ll never be apart
Is baby if we take this love and shape it into something that won’t break my heart
Cause baby oh I love you and I don’t know how to stop
I’ll never stop
So maybe if we take this love and shape it into something that won’t break my heart
Lullaby
Lullaby, my Baby
Lullaby, my Love
Lullaby, my Angel, Lullaby
Lullaby my Baby, fast asleep you will be
Try not to think too much dear, just sleep in peace
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby
Sleep tight my Angel; I’ll meet you in my dreams
We’ll be holding each other, just sleep in peace
I’ll watch you sleep at night
Holding you oh so tight
Loving you with all of my might
Oh my Angel
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby
Lullaby my Baby
Lullaby my Love
Lullaby my Angel
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby……….
Long January
It’s been a long, long January
Everybody’s made their plans
And here I am, I’m just standing by myself
By now I thought you would be beside me
But I’m still standing here on my own
And you have gone and made your plans with someone else
As I shared mine over the telephone, and I know, I know, I know
CHORUS:
Everybody’s got something to lose
Everybody’s got the right to choose something new
So this time won’t you be kind
Don’t give me any lines, are you gonna be mine?
Are you gonna be mine?
The love we have for one another
Unlike any other, words just can’t describe
Here I am reaching to you with arms wide open
And your hands are tied
But I need you right here, right now, baby
CHORUS
It’s a matter of time before our love will see the light of day you’d say
Gotta keep holding on, I need you to stick with me baby
Time is running short and my sanity is slipping away
If I keep holding on will it be forever this way
CHORUS
Rain Child
I hear the thunder, rolling in
And I’m starting to get that good ole aching again
The wind’s been traveling
She playing in my hair, and the trees are whispering secrets
That they really want to share
I feel a raindrop fall on my skin
Some people gonna seek the shelter but my fun’s about to begin
CHORUS:
Because I’m a Rain Child, I’m a Rain Child
I’m a Rain Child, Rain on me
Yeah, I’m a Rain Child, I’m a Rain Child
I’m a Rain Child, rain on me
I’ve got rings on my fingers, rings on my toes
I’ve got bells around my ankles and heaven else only knows
I’m gonna jump in the puddles and twirl and twirl around
Hold my head up high and drink from the sky
And fall laughing to the ground
CHORUS
What would the flowers drink now
And there would be no rainbow skies
If the rain didn’t pour down over me
And wash these clouds from my eyes
CHORUS
Where’d My Baby Go
When the river overflows, I keep asking but nobody knows
Where’d my baby go? Where’d my baby go?
We were walking hand in hand, and suddenly I can’t pretend
Where’d my baby go? Where’d my baby go?
Where’d my baby go? Where’d my baby go?
We had drifted off to sleep, when I wake up you’re out of reach
Where’d my baby go? Where’d my baby go?
Where’d my baby go?
If you need to go, baby I’ll survive
I just need to know if our love is still alive
Don’t leave me in the dark one more night to spend alone
I just need to know if your heart is coming home
So tell me now, Where’d my baby go?
Where’d my baby go? Where’d my baby, Where’d my baby go?
Closer
Girl, you’re smart, you’re beautiful
You can do anything your heart desires
So why are there tears on your pillow?
You say it’s too late, you’re too tired
You’ve given up and given in to circumstance
That’s become your familiar-ality
Can’t you see the world is at your fingertips?
An open book of endless possibility
CHORUS:
And for every little step you take it’s a step that you make
You’ve got to believe in yourself
Take some quiet time there you’re gonna find the answers inside
You’re getting closer than before
Boy don’t you know it’s gonna take some time
For you to find yourself
You’ve got to visualize to realize your dreams darling
Like a rear view mirror things are closer than they seem
So take your time and find your heart’s desire
All it takes is a little spark and you will light your fire
CHORUS
Don’t you let old man discourage get you down
Cause it takes courage to turn your life around
And when you wake up and it seems your dreams are far away
Just remember you’re getting closer day by day by day
CHORUS
I Miss You
Babe, I know that you must go, just give me one last kiss
Cause it’s gonna be a long, long road and I’ll need to reminisce
Seems I’ve already spent a lifetime, asking why we’ve had to say goodbye
And no matter how many times you try to find a reason why
It all comes down to, you just can’t
Babe I know I gotta let you go
This my mind comprehends
But when you find a love like ours
Letting go just doesn’t make sense
Some people may never find a love like ours in a lifetime
So how can you turn and walk away
How do I explain this to my heart
CHORUS:
I miss you and the world keeps on turning
I miss you but my heart keeps on burning
I miss you; you know I’m telling the truth
That I’ve never loved another, the way that I love you
Without you, I live my life Day by day by day
You’ve placed your bet, that hearts forget and
Memories will fade
You close your eyes
But all you feel’s this emptiness inside
And so you pray
Please take this Love and melt it all away
But it remains
This candle burns
An eternal flame
CHORUS
Learn to Love Yourself
Why didn’t I think that I deserved you?
Why didn’t I expect the very best?
Why did I settle for broken promises and anything less than happiness?
And I blamed you for not believing in our love
But I’d already laid my expectations down
And I knew that hope would only raise me up to let me down
In my soul there was an echoing, “You deserve so much more.
The only way to grab a hold of love is to let your illusions go.
Let go of old beliefs that you’re not good enough.
Let go of the child and the whore.
Let go of always searching outside of yourself
For something more.”
I’ve grown older and I’ve grown wiser
And I’m so much stronger than before
And I have learned that you can’t change a man
A man he changes on his own
And I’ve grown older and I’ve grown wiser
And I’m so much stronger than my old self
You can’t expect someone to love you
If they haven’t learned to love themselves
No, you can’t expect someone to love you
If you don’t learn to love yourself
