Michael Jackson – Call On Me (1973)

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 17:54:09 +0000

There goes the sunshine
Here comes the rain
And heartache pain
What can I do but wait for you?
Darling the days
I had were cold

Now our separate ways we go
It seems you want more
Than the love I can give
But I can`t make you stay
And you`ve got your life to live

But if it gets too rough
Call on me

Dreams of golden glare
Taking you away from here
But if ever things that have to be
Turns your dreams around
Love and understanding is what you need

If you can`t get enough
Call on me

I`m so sad you`re leaving
It`s gonna to kill me
Not to be with you
But I want you to be happy
If parting’s what you want
Then I want it too

So goodbye with all my prayers
For your happiness in a world elsewheree
Should you arrive and it`s not there
Call on me, call on me

Yes, happiness
Waits for you elsewhere
Remember this
Should you arrive and it`s not there
Call on me… call on me

Michael Jackson – Farewell My Summer Love (with lyrics)

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 00:18:32 +0000

The title track of the 1984 album Farewell My Summer Love was originally recorded in 1973, and later re-released on albums Anthology (in 1986 and 1995) and Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection in 2009. Rate and enjoy!

Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won’t forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell

I found my happiest days
When you came to see your grandma in May
I bumped into you by the corner store
I told you that you sure looked good, now

Your grandma’s house was next to mine
We were together most of the time
But summer’s gotten away from us
Time’s moving too fast for us

Bye, bye
Don’t turn around
‘Cause you might see me cry
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won’t forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell

When you return to your hometown
And you discuss your trip
Will I be the guy that you put down
Or someone that you don’t forget, no

I’ll never forget you
And maybe next year
When you’re out of school
You’ll return, but until you do, baby

Bye, bye
Don’t turn around
You might see me cry
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won’t forget you
Farewell, my summer love, farewell

If you remember my name
Drop a line sometime
Girl, I won’t forget you
Farewell my summer love, farewell
Girl, I won’t forget you

When you return to your hometown
And you discuss your trip
Will I be the guy that you put down
Or someone that you don’t forget, no

I’ll never forget you
And maybe next year
When you’re out of school
You’ll return, but until you do, baby

Bye, bye
Don’t turn around
You might see me cry
Farewell, my summer love, farewell
Farewell, my summer love, farewell
