MARVIN GAYE – When Your Lover Has Gone

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air

When you’re alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you’re alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can’t mean anything
When your lover has gone

MARVIN GAYE – What Kind Of Fool Am I?

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinkin’ of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!

What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll know what kind of fool I am!

Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll kno’ what kind of fool I am!

MARVIN GAYE feat. Kim Weston – Til There Was You

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
‘Til there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
‘Til there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
‘Til there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
‘Til there was you
‘Til there was you

MARVIN GAYE – The Shadow Of Your Smile

I’ll never forget you, baby

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes and see
All the wonderful things you are to me

A wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joy love can bring
I ‘ll be remembering
The shadow of your smile

MARVIN GAYE – The Party’s Over

The party’s over
It’s time to call it a day
They’ve burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It’s time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid

The party’s over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night

It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party’s over
It’s all over, my friend

The party’s over
It’s time to call it a day

Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party’s over
It’s all over, my friend

It’s all over, my friend

MARVIN GAYE – Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)

[Marvin:]
You’re alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love
Or just pretend, oh, baby
Why fool yourself
Don’t be afraid to help yourself
It’s never too late, too late to

Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it’s sayin’
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it’s sayin’
Love, oh, love, love

[Diana:]
Though you try, you can’t hide
All the things you really feel
This time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There’s no shame in sharin’ love you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels and fall right in
It’s never too late, too late to

Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it’s sayin’
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart
Hear what it’s sayin’
Love, love, love

[Both:]
Darlin’, darlin’, stop and look
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
Oh, listen to your heart hear what it’s sayin’
(Can’t you see that it’s not too late)
Stop and look
And listen to your heart hear what it’s sayin’

Stop and listen to your heart right now
(Stop, look)
(Listen to your heart hear what’s it’s sayin’)
Oh, can’t you see that it’s not too late
(Stop, look)
(Listen to your heart hear what it’s sayin’)
Darlin’, stop and look
And listen to your heart hear what it’s sayin’
Stop, baby
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
And listen to your heart hear what it’s sayin’
(Ooh, ooh, can’t you see that it’s not too late)

MARVIN GAYE – People

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We’re children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They’re the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you’re whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

MARVIN GAYE – Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever

I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, ‘stead of only one.

When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I’m truly glad I found you

Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.

Each night I pray we’ll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I’d be lost if you went away.

[Bridge:]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

[Bridge:]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don’t you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

MARVIN GAYE – I Wonder

I wonder my darling…
Where are you again tonight?
Are you holding someone else real tight?
Baby, I wonder…

My heart, my heart is aching
I believe that I’m a fool to let it go on breaking.
Maybe I wake up and find now that I’m mistaken
Oh but right now I wonder…

I’ve been through Lover’s Lane
And I’m living life just the same
I’ve been traveling nowhere faced
And what I wanna know, what I wanna know is will it last?

Oh oh I wonder, I wonder my darling
Will you think of me? Will you think of me again tonight?

Or are you holding someone else real tight?
Oh yeah-he-he baby I wonder…

I’ve been through, I’ve been through Lover’s Lane
And I’m livin’ life, livin’ it just the same
I’ve been traveling, been traveling nowhere faced
And what I wanna know right now, what I wanna know is will it last?

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder my my my my my my my darling
Will you think of me? Will you think of me every day?
Although I may be a million miles away
Right now I wonder

Although I, although I may be a million miles away
Baby, baby, I wonder

MARVIN GAYE feat. Kim Weston – It’s Got To Be A Miracle (This Thing Called Love)

MARVIN GAYE – I Got To Get To California

I got to get to California right away
I got to get to California right away
Just to see the evening sun setting in the west
Breaks my heart, reminds me of the true love that I left
In the sunset I can see my baby’s face just haunting me
Reminding me of the tenderness that heaven knows was in her kiss
I had a love that was mine mine mine mine alone
But I played the fool and Lord I left my happy home
What a fool a man can be, but this loneliness inside of me says
I got to get to California right away
I got to get to California

I wish I was there by my baby’s side
Lord I wish I had listened to my heart and not my pride
She tried to tell me that I had no reason to tell her she was…
I was blinded by my pride and I just couldn’t see
Now I’ve got to hurry, I’ve got a reason to worry
I’ve got to be on the move, true love I’m gonna lose
I pray it’s not too late, oh I might have to catch a freight
I got to get to California right away
I got to get to California right away

Ohhhhh may have to hitchhike baby
Might have to hop a freight
Yea yeah now I’ve got to hurry
Now I’ve got a reason to worry
I’ve got to be on the move
Or true love I’m gonna lose
What a fool a man can be
But this loneliness inside of me says
I got to get to California right away
I got to get to California

Might have to hitchhike, baby
Might have to hitch a ride
Oh now now I got to get to California

MARVIN GAYE – I Don’t Know Why

I don’t know why I love you like I do
I don’t why, but I do
I don’t know why you thrill me like you do
I don’t know why, but you do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we’re dancing

I don’t know why I love you like I do
I don’t know why, but I do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we’re dancing

I don’t know why I love you like I do
I don’t know why, but I do

MARVIN GAYE – On The Street Where You Live

I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I’m on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of ev’ry door?
No, it’s just on the street where you live!

And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near!
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!

People stop and stare. They don’t bother me.
For there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won’t care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.

MARVIN GAYE – Groovin’

Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon
I can’t imagine anything that’s better
The world is ours whenever we’re together
There ain’t a place I’d like to be instead of

Groovin’ down a crowded avenue
Doing anything we like to do
There’s always lots of things that we can see
You can be anyone we like to be
All those happy people we could meet
Just groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon

Groovin’ baby

We’ll keep on spending sunny days this way
We’re gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly

Groovin’, groovin’, groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn’t get away too soon
Groovin’

MARVIN GAYE – Gonna Give Her All The Love I’ve Got

There’s a train leaving here tomorrow
And I’ll be a free man once again
I’m so glad I served my time
I’m gonna meet the girl that I left behind

And when I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got
When I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got

There were times
When each day seemed like a year
But the sweet things you said in the letters
Made the time just disappear
She said no other arms will I let hold me
‘Cause in your arms is where I want to be

When I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got
Said when I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got

Baby, ah baby, my little darling
I’m coming home

The nights I’ve stared out my window at the moonlight
Thinking about the way I used to hold her tight
I must have been out of my mind to do the wrong I did
And leave her behind

So when I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got
When I see her
I’m gonna give her all the love I’ve got

MARVIN GAYE – Falling In Love Again

In this life….of….happiness and sadness
when you’ve lost….out on love…
and it all…ends up in madness
and you say….Love….please go away don’t torture me, night and day
then someone real…..someone who feel comes in.

[Chorus:]
Now I’m falling in love again
I’m falling in love again
I’m falling in love all over
I’m falling in love again
I, I found somebody , she says she love me
I’m falling in love again, falling in love again, falling in love
Once again……..Hey baby
She’s pretty, outside and in…
She’s so wonderful
I tried not to let my heart step in
But what to do, baby
What could I do
when somebody real comes in
Someone who feel comes in

Now I’m falling in love again
I’m falling in love again
I found somebody
She says she love me
I’m falling in love again
Oh, beautiful woman
Falling in love again

As though there was no tomorrow
There is no tomorrow
See you later

See those flowers, they need love

all God’s children, oh need love

and my father, he needs love
that’s true baby, and I need love too

and I know, oh yes I know
though you feel you don’t need loving,
you still need loving too, oh yes you do

it don’t matter no, it doesn’t matter what you are
a thief or a beggar or a superstar
as long as the Lord made you from above
I know, I know
you were made for love (cause love is what you need and understanding) oh, understanding

you were made for love,
sweet understanding why can’t we see we were made for love
you were made for love baby, sweet understanding,
why can’t we see, we (you) were made for love
(why is it so hard for us today to see the real)
we were made from love, you were made of love baby you were made to love baby

I need a whole lot of love, sugar
I need a whole lot of sweet love

it’s a fact,
(who) even the slimy seal needs love
(who) all of the folks in jail need love
(who) even a mean old man needs love

MARVIN GAYE – Days Of Wine And Roses

Days Of Wine And Roses

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked “nevermore” that wasn’t there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you-oo-oo

MARVIN GAYE – California Soul

Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
You can’t forget
From sunrise to sunset

It’s all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It’s gonna get a hold on you

California soul
California soul

They say the sun
Comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride
On the high tide
Whistle a melody

So the people started to sing
And that’s how the
Surf gave birth untold to

California soul
California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you’ve gotta move cause
It’s really such a groove

Puts a brand new kind of
Thinking in your mind
And you can’t go wrong
Cause you’re happy all day long

California soul
California soul

They had the melody and the beat
But it still didn’t seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissing
They knew just what was missing

So happy they were
Rocking and reeling
Because that added
That loving feeling

To California soul
California soul

California soul
Now if they move you
Will it move you
It can groove, you, baby

California Soul now now now
California Soul, yeah
California Soul
Satisfaction, darling

MARVIN GAYE – Because Of You

Because of you there’s a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you’re mine
Forever, and never to part

I only live for your love and your kiss
It’s paradise to be near you like this
Because of you, my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile because of you

I only live for your love and your kiss
It’s paradise to be near you like this
Because of you, my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile because of you
