林憶蓮 The Story Of So Far[Includes Five Number 1 Hits]

1.Because You Loved Me

Lyrics：Diane Warren
Music：Diane Warren

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


2.Cuts Both Ways

Lyrics：Gloria Estefen
Music：Gloria Estefen
Arranger：Mac Chew／Jenny Chin

It Cuts Both Ways
Our Love Is Like A Knife
That Cuts Both Ways
It's Driiven Deep Into My Heart Each Time
That I Realize (Soon We'll Realize)
How It Cuts Both Ways
Can't Be Together
Can Not Live Apart
We're Heading Straight Into A Broken Heart
But I Can't Stop
Cause I Feel Too Much To Let You Go
I'm Hurting You And It's Hard I Know
To Stay And Fight For What We've Got
Knowing It'll Never Be Good Enough
'Cos You And I Are Dangerous
We Want Too Much And Life Ain't That Way
Don't Ask Me For More
You'd(Don't) Be A Fool
Haven't We Already Broken Every Rule

It Cuts Both Ways,We're In Too Deep For Sorry Alibis
Can't Have Regrets Or Even Question Why
We Can't Say Goodbye

Because It Cuts Both Ways
No More Illusion Of The Love We Make
No Scarifice Would Ever Be Too Great
If You Would Just Stay


3.Hero

Lyrics：Mariah Carey
Music：Mariah Carey／Walter Afanasieff
Arranger：Mac Chew／Jenny Chin

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way


4.In Another Life

Lyrics：Sam Lober
Music：Sam Lober
Arranger：Jenny Chin／Mac Chew

If My Loving You
Could Change The Rivers Folw
I Would Not Let You Drift Away From Me
I'd Never Let Go
I Want To Be By Your Side
But The Water's Too Deep And Wide
In Another Life
In Another Place
I'd Have Held You Close
I'd Have Known Your Face
In Another World
In Another Time
You'd Be Mine
You'd Be Mine
If I Touched You Now
I'd Only Loose My Mind

Oo... In The Cruel World I've Been Given
One Life At A Time
I Don't Know Where Or When
But We'll Pass This Way Again

6.Take A Bow

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one
around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star

Chorus：

You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye


Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you
played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star

(chorus, repeat)


But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

(chorus)


7.When Can I See You

Lyrics：Babyface
Music：Babyface
Arranger：Mac Chew／Jenny Chin

When Can My Heart Beat Again
When Does The Pain Ever End
When Do The Tears Stop From Running Over
When Does You'll Get Over It Begin
I Hear What You're Sayin'
But I Swear That It's Not Making Sense
So When Can I See You
When Can I See You Again
When Can My Heart Beat Again
When Can I See You Again
And When Can I Breathe Once Again
When Can I See You Again

When Does My Someday Begin
When I'll Find Someone Again
And What If I Still Am Not Truly Over
What Am I Supposed To Do Then

Please Hear What I'm Sayin'
Even If,If It's Not Making Sense
So When Can I See You


8.If You Don't Know Me By Now


＊If you don't know me by now
You'll never, never, never know me

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now baby I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothin'
To upset our happy home
Oh, don't get so excited
When I comee home a little late at night
Cause we only act like children
When we argue, fuss and fight

(Repeat ＊)

We all got our own funny moods
I've got mine
Woman, you got yours too
Just trust in me
Like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
That should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say good-bye
What good is a love affair
When we can't see eye-to-eye

(Repeat ＊)


9.Daddy's Home


You're my love, you're my angel
You're the girl of my dreams
I'd like to thank you
For waiting patiently
Daddy's home
Your daddy's home to stay

＊How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrop in your eyes
Daddy's Home
Your daddy's home to stay

It wasn't on a Sunday
Monday and Tuesday went by
It wasn't on a Tuesday afternoon
All I cxould do was cry
But I made promise that you treasure
I've made it back home to you

Repeat ＊)

I'm not a thousand miles away
Daddy's home
And I'm gonna be here
Come wiht me all alone


10.You Don't Bring Me Flowers

Written：Neil Diamond／Alan Bergman／Marilyn Bergman

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore


11.The rose

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger and an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too
long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring
Becomes the rose.....

14.I Still Believe

Lyrics：Armato／Cantarelli

You look in my eyes, and I get emotional inside,
I know it's crazy but you still can touch my heart.

And after all this time, you'd think that I,
I wouldn't feel the same.
But time melts into nothing, and nothing's changed.

Each day of my life, I'm filled with all the joy I could find.
You know that I, I'm not the desparate type.
If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp,
I'll steal (hold) it with both hands.
It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.

＊I still believe, someday you and me
will find ourselves in love again.
I had a dream, someday you and me
will find ourselves in love again.

If you believe in forever, feel what-I-have inside!
Then you must know that we will love again.

If you believe in true love, never have to end.
Then we must know that we will love again.
