It's Only Love That Gets You Through

Sade

 
       

By Your Side

 

 

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when you're wrong

If only you could see into me

Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, you're so much better than you know
When you're lost, when you're alone and you can't get back again
I will find you darling
I'll bring you home

If you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
and in no time you'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave down when you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that

I'll do you right when you're wrong

If only you could see into me

Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when your alone
I'll be there by your side baby

Tu pensi che non potrei essere dalla tua parte?
Tu mi conosci meglio di così
Tu pensi che potrei abbandonarti mentre sei messo in ginocchio?
Non lo farei mai.

Lo farò solo quando tu sarai in errore

Se solo tu potessi vedere in me

Oh, quando tu hai freddo
Sarò lì per lei per tenerti stretto a me
Quando tu sarai là fuori e non potrai entrare
Io ti indicherò (l'ingresso), tu sei molto meglio di quello che pensi
Quando hai perso la strada, quando sei solo e non puoi tornare
Ti troverò mio caro
Ti riporterò a casa

Se hai voglia di piangere
Sono qui per asciugare i tuoi occhi
e in un attimo starai bene

Tu pensi che non potrei essere dalla tua parte?
Tu mi conosci meglio di così?
Tu pensi che potrei abbandonarti mentre sei messo in ginocchio?
Non lo farei mai.

Lo farò solo quando tu sarai in errore

Se solo tu potessi vedere in me

Oh, quando tu hai freddo
Sarò lì per lei tenerti stretto a me
Sarò lì per lei
Per tenerti stretto a me
Oh, quando sei solo
Io sarò lì al tuo fianco.

   

Flow

   

Ooh baby, mm
When you hold me
Oh oh, when you hold me
The sound

Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I could feel this good
I could really love you the way I do

See me (Within the light)
Flowing (Take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (Pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me

See me (Within the light)
Flowing (Take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (Pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

Ooh baby, mm
When you hold me
Oh oh, when you hold me
The sound 

And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go

Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold, it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me

And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go

Oh, baby
Quando mi tieni (tra le braccia)
Oh, quando mi tieni (tra le braccia)
Il suono

E' possibile che possa sentire questa sensazione di novità?
Io potrei veramente amarti nel modo che so
E' possibile ho potuto sentire questa bella sensazione?
Io potrei veramente amarti nel modo che so

Guardami (in piena luce)
Fluente (portami verso di te)
Come il fiume (che va) al mare
Tu vieni giù (io sono la luce)
Tu (mi) proteggi (spingimi verso di te)
E le onde corrono sopra di me

Sento una luce di amore che corre sopra di me
Sento l'amore che viene dalla mia parte
E allora il tuo amore si insinua dentro di me
Sopra di me

Guardami (in piena luce)
Fluente (portami verso di te)
Come il fiume (che va) al mare
Tu vieni giù (io sono la luce)
Tu (mi) proteggi (spingimi verso di te)
E le onde corrono sopra di me

Oh, baby
Quando mi tieni (tra le braccia)
Oh, quando mi tieni (tra le braccia)
Il suono

E non voglio lasciarti andare
non ti lascerò andare
E non voglio lasciarti andare
non ti lascerò andare

Riprendi il tuo amore (1)
Riprendi il tuo amore
Riprendi il tuo amore
e torna da me
Questo amore non mente (2)
al freddo, è (come) un fuoco
io sono sulla strada
ed è un sollievo per me

E non voglio lasciarti andare
non ti lascerò andare
E non voglio lasciarti andare
non ti lascerò andare

   

King Of Sorrow

 

 

You came along when I needed a savior
Someone to pull me through somehow
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already broke my heart
Somebody already broke my heart

Here I am
So don't leave me stranded
On the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lie
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So be careful and be kind

Somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I don't want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I can't go there again

You came along when I needed a savior
Someone to pull me through somehow
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I don't want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I can't go there again

Somebody Already Broke My Heart

 

   

You came along when I needed a saviour
Someone to pull me through somehow
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already broke my heart
Somebody already broke my heart

Here I am
So don't leave me stranded
On the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lie
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So be careful and be kind

Somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I don't want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I can't go there again

You came along when I needed a saviour
Someone to pull me through somehow
I've been torn apart so many times
I've been hurt so many times before
So I'm counting on you now

Somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I don't want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I can't go there again

 

   

All About Our Love

 

 

After all this time
After all is said and done

We have seen some suffering, baby
It has not always been perfect

After all this time
After all is said and done 

Darling we know it
Whatever may come
We can get through it
As if it's just begun
Oh, it's just begun

It's all about our love
So shall it be forever, never ending
Darling we know it

After all this time
After all is said and done

After all this time
After all is said and done 

Dopo tutto questo tempo
dopo tutto quello che è stato detto e che è stato fatto

Abbiamo vissuto anche momenti di sofferenza, amore
non tutto è stato sempre perfetto

Dopo tutto questo tempo
dopo tutto quello che è stato detto e che è stato fatto

Caro, noi lo sappiamo
qualsiasi cosa possa accadere
noi la potremo superare
come se fosse appena iniziata
oh, è appena iniziata

Questo è tutto, riguardo al nostro amore
così, sarà  per sempre, non finirà mai?
Caro, noi lo sappiamo

Dopo tutto questo tempo
dopo tutto quello che è stato detto e che è stato fatto

Dopo tutto questo tempo
dopo tutto quello che è stato detto e che è stato fatto

   

Slave Song

   

I see them gathered, see them on the shore
I turned to look once more
And he who knows me not
Takes me to the belly of darkness

The tears run swift and hard
And when they fall
Even, even the comfort of a stone
Would be a gain
There was a time when I thought
I would have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

Tears will run swift
And tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
Let me not to him do
As he has unto me
Teach my beloved children
Who have been enslaved
To reach for the light continually

So many times I prayed
So many times I've prayed for you
Prayed for you

The tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
Even, even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior
I would have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am and I'll
Try to do the best I can

Tears will run swift
And tears will come that fall like rain
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will fall as cold as pain

I pray to the almighty
Let us not do as he has unto us
Teach my beloved children I've been a slave
But reach for the light continually

Wisdom is the flame
Wisdom is the brave warrior
Who will carry us into the sun
I pray that it's swift though
Tears will come that fall like rain

So many times, so many times

 
   

The Sweetest Gift

 

 

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected

She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning

And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling

She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning

And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment

 

 

 

Every Word

   

(Love is what the word was)

I saw a picture
How could you be so careless
How could you have done that to us
And I write this letter
I send it all back to you
And every word you said

In there every word, oh oh oh oh
How could you have done that to us

You treated me like a stranger
And all the time I was loving you
All your slick moves
They were once innocent moves
I wanted to look up to you
I really trusted you
And every word you said

In there every word, oh oh oh oh
How could you have done that to us 

(Love is what the word was)

I was loving you like a child
All the time you were smiling
The same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)
(Love is what the word was)

Every word you said
Every word you said

I was loving you like a child
All the time you were smiling
The same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you 

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)
I send it back to you, yeah
(Love is what the word was)

Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)
I send it all back to you, yeah
(Love is what the word was)

 
   

Immigrant

 

 

Coming from where he did
He was turned away from every door like Joseph
To even the toughest among us
That would be too much

He didn't know what it was to be black
'Till they gave him his change
But didn't want to touch his hand
To even the toughest among us
That would be too much

Isn't it just enough
How hard it is to live
Isn't it hard enough
Just to make it through a day

The secret of their fear and their suspicion
Standing there looking like an angel
In his brown shoes, his short suit
His white shirt and his cuffs a little frayed

Coming from where he did
He was such a dignified child
To even the toughest among us
That would be too much

Isn't it just enough
How hard it is to live
Isn't it hard enough
Just to make it through a day

Coming from where he did
He was turned away from every door like Joseph
To even the toughest among us
That would be too much

 
   

Lovers Rock

 

 

I am in the wilderness
You are in the music
In the man's car next to me
Somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart completely

2 - When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
I have a rock to cling to in the storm
When no one can hear me calling
I have you I can sing to

3 - And in all this
And in all my life

4 - You are the lovers rock
The rock that I cling to
You're the one
The one I swim to in a storm
Like a lovers rock

Repeat 1
Repeat 3
Repeat 4
Repeat 4

When I need to be rescued you're there
When I need a place to swim to in a storm
I sing to you
And all my life
And in all my life

Repeat 4

 
   

It's Only Love That Gets You Through

 

 

Girl you are rich even with nothing
And you know tenderness comes from pain
It's amazing how you love
And love is kind and love can give
And get no gain

1 - It's down a rugged road you've come
Though you had every reason
You didn't come undone
Somehow you made it to the other side
You didn't suffer in vain

You forgive those who have trespassed against you
And you know tenderness comes from pain
It's amazing how you love
And love is kind and love can give
And love needs no gain

Repeat 1

You didn't suffer in vain
You know it's only love
That gets you through
Only love, it's only love
It's only love that gets you through
