GOT TO BE THERE 1971
Ain't no sunshine
I wanna be where you are
Girl don't take your love from me
In our small way
Got to be there
Rockin' Robin
Wings of my love
Maria (you were the only one)
Love is here and now you're gone
You got a friend

 

 













AIN'T NO SUNSHINE

You ever want something
That you know you shouldn't have
The more you know you shouldn't have it,
The more you want it
And then one day you get it,
It's so good to you
But it's just like my girl
When she's around me
I just feel so good, so good
But right now I just feel cold, so cold
Right down to my bones
'Cause ooh...

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, know, know, know, know,
I know, I know,
Hey I ought to leave
I ought to leave her alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE

Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I'm at

You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming
Back to where I should have always stayed
And now I've heard the maybe to your story
And it's enough love for me to stay
Can it be I stayed away too long
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I'm at
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Everywhere you are
Please don't close the door to our future
There's so many things we haven't tried
I could love you better than I used to
And give you all the love I have inside
I wanna, wanna be where you are
Any, any, anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are

GIRL DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME

Foolish of me, I couldn't see
The forest for the trees
You've been so true
I've been so cruel to you

Oh, girl please don't leave me
If you stay I'll find a way
To erase the past
Baby don't leave me
Girl don't take your love from me
Oh, girl
What can I say to make you stay
Baby, don't leave me
'Cause you've been so kind
It blows my mind to know
Oh, girl, I really hurt you
Tell me girl, it's not to late
And you give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don't take your love from me
Girl don't take your love
Don't take your love, oo
Girl, if you take your love away from me
I'm gonna be in misery
You know that it's true that i'm laying upon
How will I make it when it's gone
Of all the little things I wanted to say
Or really wanted to do, girl
This time, ooh
Oh girl, I really mean it
So tell me girl, it's not to late
And you'll give me a chance
To make it up to you
Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love
Don't take your love
Don't leave me girl
Don't take your love from me
Baby, don't take your love from me, oo
Don't take your love from me

IN OUR SMALL WAY

Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
 In our small way

Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
 In our small way
In despair we'll be the hope
And the prayer that frees the soul
We'll be there to share each lonely road
Because we love, I know we care enough
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
Just a little time is all it takes
What a difference just a smile can make you'll see
Love is all we need
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way

GOT TO BE THERE

Got to be there, got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there, got to be there
Bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl

Oh what a feeling there'll be
The moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes I realize
I need her sharing her world beside me
So I've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she is my girl
When she says, "Hello world!"
I need her sharing the world beside me
That's why I've got to be there
Got to be there where love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home
Got to be there
Got to be there

ROCKIN' ROBIN

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

(chorus)
Rockin' robin, rock rock
Rockin' robin'
Go rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go
(chorus)
Yeah! Yeah!
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bob and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriol
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
(chorus)
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bob and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriol
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
(chorus)

WINGS OF MY LOVE

When this old world gets you down
When your spirit's on the ground
Just remember I will always be around
Just climb on the wings of my love
I'll take you high on the wings of my love
When you're feeling all alone
Like a child who's got no home
You know you've always got a place where you can go
Just climb on the wings of my love
Like a beach that knows no boundaries with all the trees
As it rushes to the seas darling we'll be just as free
I'll lift your spirits high our love will fly
We'll have heaven blue skies and forever sunshine
'Til you break those ties that bind
'Til that day you're really mine
Anytime you want to leave your world behind
Just climb on the wings of my love
I'll lift your spirits high our love will fly
We'll have heaven blue skies and forever sunshine
We've got rainbows yet to find
And we'll find them all in time
Girl you know someday we'll even touch the sky
Just climb on the wings of my love
Anytime you want to leave your world behind
I'll take you high on the wings of my love
Just take my hand and together we'll touch the sky
Just climb on the wings of my love
Yes remember I will always be around
I'll take you high on the wings of my love

LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GONE

Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tendeness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the lonelyness
That was waiting there

You closed the door to your heart, girl
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came
Into my heart
You turned and you walked
Just walked away
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then you took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left its trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
My heart cries out for your touch
But baby, you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh oh my darling, now you're gone
Talking 'bout love, love, love, love,
Ooh ooh my darling, now you're gone

YOU GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled 
And you need some love and care 
And nothin', no nothin' is goin' right 
Just close your eyes and think of me 
And soon I'll be there to brighten up 
Yeah, even your darkest night 
You just call out my name 
And you know, wherever I am 
I'll come a-runnin' 
To see you again 

(chorus)
Winter, spring, summer or fall 
All you have to do is call 
And I'll be there, yeah I will 
You've got a freind 
When the sky above you 
Grows dark and full of clouds 
And that old north wind 
He begins to blow 
Here's what you do baby 
Keep your head together 
And call my name out loud 
And soon you'll hear me 
Knockin' at your door 
Oh yes I will, yes I will 
You just call out my name 
And you know, wherever I am 
I'll come a-runnin' 
To see you again 
(chorus)
Ain't it good to know 
That you've got a freind 
People can be so cold 
They'll hurt you and desert you 
And take your soul if you let them 
Oh, don't let them 
(chorus)
You've got a freind, yes you do 
You've got a freind, yes you do 
Right till the end, for you 
Ain't it good to know
