GOLD - Beverley Knight

Some people never recognise it
though its right before their eyes
and shines in all its glory
they never ever see
they choose something that looks just like it
and it may glitter all the time
but gold it will never be

I guess you never held on to quality
or you would of recognised by now
something so special so true
when its standing right infront of you

Chorus:
I'm gold babe
catch me in the slipstream
passing by the fools who just dont know
pure gold babe
you're looking at the real thing
if you knew my worth you wouldnt let go
oh no

Gold lies in rivers undiscovered
hidden from the site of those
who dont know what to look for
(they aint never gonna find it)
sometimes the value is uncovered
other times it's cast aside
by those who are just unsure

I guess you never held on to quality
or you would of recognised by now
something so special so true
when she's standing right infront of you

Chorus:
I'm gold babe
catch me in the slipstream
passing by the fools who just dont know
pure gold babe
you're looking at the real thing
if you knew my worth you wouldnt let go
oh no

All the things you failed to see
separated you from me
i decide who wins my time
and who comes inside yeah
cuz what is true and what is real
finds a way of being revealed
i dont have to even try
cuz i am cerified.... pure...

Chorus:
Gold baby
catch me in the slipstream
passing by the fools who just dont know
pure gold babe
you're looking at the real thing
if you knew my worth you wouldnt let go
im gold baby
catch me in the slipstream
passing by the fools who just dont know
pure gold babe
you're looking at the real thing
if you knew my worth you wouldnt let go
oh no

I hope you dance!

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

LeeAnn Womack- I hope you dance

Phenomenal woman- Maya Angelou

Phenomenal Woman: Maya Angelou


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
