Can't find no rhyme to it all
But still we keep on trying
The why and where of it all
Inside you the answer is lying

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade (?) of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…
Shine, shine, shine, shine….

Don't take the easy way out
Believe there is a Maker
Don't be a body of doubt
In whom does live a faker

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in…
And let love shine in…

A soul without love
Is a soul without meaning
And the Lord up above
He'll destroy every being

Reach in....

Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you're livin'

(Etc., etc., - they vamp till the end)

THERE YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL

THE PROMISE OF LOVE WAS WRITTEN ON YOUR FACE

YOU LED ME ON WITH

UNTRUE KISSES

YOU HELD ME CAPTURED IN YOUR FALSE EMBRACE

QUICKER THAN I CAN BAT AN

EYE

SINCE YOU WERE TELLING ME GOODBYE



OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE

ALL

OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR

SWEETNESS WAS ONLY HEARTACHES CAMOUFLAGE

THE LOVE I SAW IN

YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE

(YOU PROMISED THAT LOVE WE FOREVER SHARE)

(BUT ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES

OF LOVE THAT WAS NEVER THERE)



WE USE TO MEET IN ROMANTIC PLACES

YOU GAVE THE ILLUSION

THAT YOUR LOVE WAS REAL

NOW ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE LIPSTICK TRACES

FROM THE KISSES YOU ONLY

PRETENDED TO FEEL

AND NOW OUR MEETINGS YOU AVOID

AND SO MY WORLD YOU HAVE

DESTROYED



OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE

ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO

DISAPPEAR

THE WAY YOU WRECKED MY LIFE WAS LIKE SABOTAGE

THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A

MIRAGE

(YOU BROUGHT ME UP JUST TO THROW ME DOWN)

(YOU LEFT ME AND MY DREAMS SHATTERED ALL ON

THE GROUND)



OH, OH, OH YOU ONLY FEEL ME WITH DESPAIR

BY SHOWING LOVE THAT WASN'T

THERE

OH, JUST LIKE THE DESERT SHOWS A THIRSTY MAN

GREEN OASIS WHERE THERE'S ONLY

SAND

YOU LURED ME INTO SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DODGED

THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A

MIRAGE

(TO YOU I GAVE TRUE LOVE FROM DEEP WITHIN)

(YOU MADE ME HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE, BUT IT

WAS NO DEEPER THAN YOUR SKIN)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!

YEAH MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY....BIG DEAL!!!!

WHATS WRONG WITH YOU JERMAINE??

YEAH THATS NO KIND OF ATTITUDE!!

THIS ONLY HAPPENS ONCE A YEAR!!!

HEY FELLAS, DONT BUG HIM!!!
HE AND HIS GIRL JUST BROKE UP, SO GET OFF HIS BACK!!!
CANT YOU SEE THERE'S TEARS IN HIS EYES!!!!

YEAH HE'S CRYING, LOOK HE'S CRYING

DONT CRY, DONT CRY, DONT CRY!!!!!!!!

CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS, HOLDING YOU SO NEAR
CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS, HOLDIN YOU SO NEAR

I SEE THE LIGHTS
BUT THEY DONT SHINE FOR ME
I SEE THE PRESENTS
UNDERNEATH THE CHRISTMAS TREE
OUR HOUSE DECORATED
MY FRIENDS ARE CELEBRATING

CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS HOLDING YOU SO NEAR
CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS HOLDING YOU SO NEAR

THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS
ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN
COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
TILL SANTA CLAUS COMES
AND I SEE THE MISTLETOE
HANGIN FROM MY DOOR
I WISH THAT I COULD KISS YOU AGIAN
LIKE I DID BEFORE

CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS HOLDING YOU SO NEAR

SO GO ON GIRL
AND HAVE YOUR FUN
DONT SPOIL YOUR TIME
THINKIN ABOUT ME
THIS TIME NEXT YEAR
MY DARLING DEAR
HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL BE HAVING DINNER WITH ME

CHRISTMAS WONT BE THE SAME THIS YEAR
WITHOUT HER LOVING ARMS HOLDING YOU SO NEAR

FADE

Chorus:
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me whereever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...

Tell me why
Is it so

That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Everytime I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
piercin me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more

Tell me why
(tell me why)
Is it so
(is it so)
Don't wanna let you go!

I can never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ou ou baby
(don't wanna let you go girl)
I never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no

ou! oh!
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ouuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no

(chorus)


I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish, there's that
doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go

[Chorus] (and ad libs)

[Repeat till fade]
