Lead Me Lord - Gary Valenciano


Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon

Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life

You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life
(Choro)
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, Oh Lord
Lead me Lord

It Takes a Man and a Woman


Well it just takes a star to get up so high
One touch of blue to paint up the sky
And it only takes a master of art
To paint a mother and child

Well it just takes the dawn to wake up the sun
One lullaby they do picked on
But these wondrous things
Aint got what it takes to make two hearts beat as one

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you

Well it just takes a rainbow river to flow
Just take something up to catch you a rainbow
And if you got some time and a ladder to climb
You’ll find the rainbows end

Well it just takes some notes to write a song
La, la, la, la, to sing along
But since Adam and Eve when feelings get strong
To do what comes naturally

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you

It takes a man and a woman and one magic moment
To know their in heaven
It takes a man and a woman to feel what we’re feelin’
And aint it a miracle that you’d take a woman like me
To love a man like you

I Melt With You



Moving forward using all my breath 
Making love to you was never second best 
I saw the world crashing all around your face 
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
I'll stop the world and melt with you 

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate 
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace 
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by 

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

The future's open wide 

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm 
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm 

I'll stop the world and melt with you 
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time 
And there's nothing you and I won't do 
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you 

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you) 
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)




Valentine



if there were no words
no way to speak
i would still hear you
if there were no tears
no way to feel inside 
i'd still feel for you

and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you wuld still have my heart until the end of time
you're all i need, my love, my Valentine.

all of my life
i have been waiting for
all you give to me
you've opened my eyes
and shown me how to love unselfishly

i've dreamed of this a thousand times before
in my dreams i couldn't love you more
i will give you my heart
until the end of time
you're all i need, my love, my Valentine

and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart until the end of time
'cause all i need is you, my Valentine
you're all i need, my love, my Valentine





Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)


Starry, starry night 
Paint your palette blue and grey 
Look out on a summer's day 
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 
Shadows on the hills 
Sketch the trees and daffodils 
Catch the breeze and the winter chills 
In colours on the snowy linen land 

Now I understand 
What you tried to say to me 
And how you suffered for your sanity 
And how you tried to set them free 
They would not listen 
They did not know how 
Perhaps they'll listen now 

Starry, starry night 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 
Swirling clouds and violet haze 
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue 
Colours changing hue 
Morning fields of amber grain 
Weathered faces lined in pain 
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand 

Now I understand 
What you tried to say to me 
And how you suffered for your sanity 
And how you tried to set them free 
They would not listen 
They did not know how 
Perhaps they'll listen now 

For they could not love you 
But still your love was true 
And when no hope was left inside 
On that starry, starry night 
You took your life as lovers often do 
But I could have told you Vincent 
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you 

Like the strangers that you've met 
The ragged men in ragged clothes 
The silver thorn of bloody rose 
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Now I think I know 
What you tried to say to me 
And how you suffered for your sanity 
And how you tried to set them free 
They would not listen 
They're not listening still 
Perhaps they never will...

Home To Stay


I know you're gone 
I watched you leave 
I always thought 
That it was me 
You made it clear 
With that last kiss 
You couldn't live a life 
With maybe's and whatif's 

When every boat 
Has sailed away 
And every path 
Is marked and paved 
When every road 
Has had its say 
Then I'll be bringing you back 
Home to stay 

I have the cards you sent to me 
You wrote of trains and Paris galleries 
This spring you'll draw 
Canals, and frescoed walls 
Look how far your dreaming's gone 

When every town looks just the same 
When every choice gets hard to make 
When every map is put away 
Then I'll be bringing you back 
Home to stay 

And now I know why you had to go alone 
Isn't there a place between 

When every boat 
Has sailed away 
And every path 
Is marked and paved 

When every road 
Has had its say 
Then I'll be bringing you back 
Home to stay 

Reach out to me 
Call out my name 
And I would bring you back again 
Today


The Prayer (feat. Charlotte Church)


I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai

I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restera
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace 

Give us faith so we'll be safe. 
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza 

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
