Paroles et traductions de l'album FOREVER MICHAEL

(Michael Jackson)

1- WE'RE ALMOST THERE

Ecrit par Brian Holland et Eddie Holland
Arrangé par James Anthony Carmichael
Produit par Brian Holland

No matter how hard
The times may seem
Don’t give up our plans
No broken bridges can turn us around

’Cause what we’re searching for
Will soon be found

 

’Cause we’re almost there
Just one more step
Just one more step
Don’t give up we’re almost all there

 

Look at the lonely lovers
That didn’t make it
Life’s long hard climb
They just couldn’t take it
Don’t let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin’
We’ll make it through

 

Darlin’, keep on reachin’ out for me
Keep on reachin’
Do it for me
Do it for me
Do it, baby

 

(Almost there, we’re almost there
’Cause we’re almost there)

 

We’re so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
We can’t afford to waste it
Fear to feel your hand
Slippin’ from mine
Just hold on tighter, darlin’
Keep on tryin’

 

Baby, do it for me
Do it, do it, do it baby

 

Just one more step
Don’t give up
Just one more step
Baby, baby, don’t give up
Keep on, keep on
Just one more step
’Cause we’re almost there
Just one more step
’Cause we’re almost there
We’ve come too far to turn around
Keep on reachin’
For higher ground
We’ve had all ups
We’ve had all downs
Let nothin’ in the world, darlin’
Turn us around
’Cause we’re almost there
We’re almost there
We’re almost there
Everything we’re looking for
We’re almost there
Keep on reachin’ out for me
’Cause we’re almost there, darlin’
We’re almost there
We’re almost there


2- TAKE ME BACK

Ecrit par Brian Holland et Eddie Holland
Arrangé par James Anthony Carmichael
Produit par Brian Holland

Ah, take me back
Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby
Ah, take me back
Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby

 

I thought the grass was greener
On the other side
Thought the sun shine brighter
When I said goodbye
There’s a card in my hand
Tears fall like a rain
I wanna come home again
I want you to

 

Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby
Ah, take me back
Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby
Ain’t no love in this world
Ain’t no love in this world without you
No, no, ain’t no love in this world
Ain’t no love, baby

 

In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothin’ else
Every place I go
Everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and

 

Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby
Ah, take me back

Take me back where I belong
That’s with you, baby

 

I’m on my way back to you
And I wanna make it up to you
And all the problems that I caused you
If it takes my life I’ll make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me

 

Take me back, forgive me
Take me back where I belong
If you can, if you can find it
In your heart to forgive me


3- ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE

Ecrit par Sam Brown III et Renee Armand
Arrangé par Sam Brown III
Produit par Sam Brown III

One day in your life
You’ll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You’ll come back
And you’ll took around you

 

One day in your life
You’ll remember the love you found here
You’ll remember me somehow
Though you don’t need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You’ll remember one day

 

One day in your life
When you find that you’re always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name and I’ll be there

 

You’ll remember me somehow
Though you don’t need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You’ll remember one day

 

One day in your life
When you find that you’re always lonely
For the love we used to share
Just call my name and I’ll be there

Cinderella, stay awhile
You’re the one
That I’ve been looking for
Cinderella, when your smile
All around me
Sunbeams start to fall
Midnight is so near
Please, don’t disappear
Now that you are here

 

Stay awhile

Cinderella, I just know
That the magic slippers
Gonna fit
Cinderella, do not go
You’re my princess
I am sure of it
This is love for sure
Loving sweet and pure
Love that will endure
Stay awhile

 

When you speak
The angels all sing
This is the kind of magic you bring

 

Cinderella, stay awhile
This is like a fairy tale with you
Cinderella, when your smile
All my fairy tales are coming true
When my only fear
Is midnight is so near
Please, don’t disappear
Stay awhile

5- WE'VE GOT FOREVER

Ecrit par M. David et Elliot Willensky
Arrangé par James Anthony Carmichael
Produit par Hal Davis

(We’ve got forever)
(Forever)

 

I’ll plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dreams that we’re dreaming
Have time to come true
’Cause we’ve got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

 

We shall have music
We shall have rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time
Oo ooh, baby
Then we’ll add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
A cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be
Me and you
’Cause we’ve got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

 

Me and you, baby
We got a million tomorrows
We’ve got ever
Forever
I know that we got it
I know that we got it
We got, we got, yeah
Me and you, baby


6- JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YOU

Ecrit par Brian Holland et Eddie Holland
Arrangé par James Anthony Carmichael
Produit par Brian Holland

Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctors away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctors away

 

I told my mamma
How I feel about your power
Your love can heal
Ain’t no doctor’s remedy
Ever do what you do for me

 

Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctors away
Eeny weeny teeny bit of your love, babe
It’s all I need, it’s all I need

 

Since the day I’ve been loving you
I can’t catch a cold
I can’t catch the flu
The sweet loving you’ve been giving me
Has become my daily need

 

Just a little bit of you every day
It’s all I need, that’s all I need
Just a little bit, baby
That’s all I need,that’s all I need

 

So don’t send no doctor to my door
’Cause doctor John
’Been here before
Don’t you send him
Just come yourself
Bring your loving
And nothing else

 

Ooh, just a, just a,
Just a little bit of love every day
Surely keep the doctors away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctors away
Just a little bit, babe
Just a little bit
Just a little bit of your love


7- YOU ARE THERE

Ecrit par Sam Brown III, Christine Yarian et R. Meitzenheimer
Arrangé par Sam Brown III
Produit par Sam Brown III

You are there
Like the laughter of a child
When I need just a smile
Suddenly the sun shines for a while

 

Everywhere
Sounds of love are everywhere
And my heart sings along
Thanks to you I’ve finally got a song

 

’Cause you are there
You are there
You are there
Somewhere
Each time my world seems like it’s falling down
Things look up just having you around
So every night I say a prayer
Just because you’re there

 

Like a rainbow after rain
Like the night follows day
You’re the answer to the prayers I say

 

And you are there
You are there
You are there
Somewhere
No matter where I go
Or what I do
You are there
To help me see it through
So every night I say a prayer
Just because you’re there

 

Ooh, you are there
Oh, you are there
Somewhere
And as the years go by
We’ll stay as true
What you are for me
I’ll be for you
And every night I’ll say a prayer
Just because you’re there
Oh, you are there
Oh, you are there
Everywhere
You are there

9- DEAR MICHAEL

Ecrit par Hal Davis et Elliot Willensky
Arrangé par James Anthony Carmichael
Produit par Hal Davis

She wrote ‘Dear Michael,
You’ll probably never get this letter
Michael, I wrote you a hundred times before
Knowing how I feel, I’ll write a hundred more’

 

‘Dear Michael, everytime your record’s on
Michael, I close my eyes and sing along
Dreaming you’re singing to me’

 

And then she wrote
‘Michael, I love you
I’ve held tears back long as I can
I’m sealing my feelings in this envelope
’Cause I wanna be more than just your number one fan’

 

I’m gonna answer your letter
I’ll start beginning with the ABCs of loving you
Your letter really touched my heart
I’ve been dreaming of meeting the picture
That you sent along, signed with all your love

 

(Michael, Michael)
(I want you)
(She wrote)
I’m gonna write you back
Ooh, I promise you that
Girl, I think I love you
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her her I love her
Hurry, hurry Mr Postman
Take my letter
Tell her I love her


10- I'LL COME HOME TO YOU

Ecrit par Freddie Perren et Christine Yarian
Arrangé par Freddie Perren et Eddy Manson
Produit par Freddie Perren et Fonce Mizell

If I had my way, girl
I’d never leave for a minute
But things don’t always turn out
The way we want them to
So while I’m away now
I want you to remember
How much I love you
I love you, I love you

 

Let this love lift you up
When you’re feelin’ blue
Wherever I go
I will be loving you
Think of me when you see
Places we once shared
Whatever I do
Someday I’ll need you there

 

Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I’ll always come home
I’ll come home to you
Even though we both know
You’re not in my arms
Wherever I go
You’re always in my heart

 

Just you ask
I’ll come back
Though we’re miles apart
Whatever I do
I’ll come to where you are

 

Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I’ll always come home, I’ll come home to you
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I’ll always come home
I’ll come home to you
Don’t you worry, darlin’
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I’ll always come home
I’ll come home to you
