Just Another Day ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon)

 

 

Mornings Alone

When you come home

I breath a little faster

Every time we're together

It'd never be the same

If you're not here

How can you stay away, away so long

 

Why can't we stay together

Give me a reason

Give me a reason

 

Chorus

I, I don't wanna say it

I don't wanna find another way

Make it through the day without you

I, I can't resist

Trying to find exactly what I miss

It's just another day without you

It's just another day

 

Making the time

Find the right lines

To make you stay forever

What do I have to tell you

I'm just trying to hold on to something

(Trying to hold on to something good)

Give us a chance to make it

 

Don't wanna hold on forever

I'm not that strong

I'm not that strong

 

I, I don't want to say it

I don't wanna find another way

Make it through the day without you

I, I can't resist

Trying to find exactly what I miss

It's just another day without you

 

Why can't you stay forever

Just give me a reason

Give me a reason

Chorus Repeats

 

 

Do You Believe In Us ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon)

I tremble inside

Just thinking

About the world around us

Sacred, can't help to wonder

Don't want any changes

'Bout the way we feel

Do you know what I mean

Catch me I'm falling

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

 

Chorus

I know that we belong

Do you believe in us

Just give it half a chance

 

Yes our love

Will still be strong

Girl  I believe in us

I'll give you all I can

 

Time has redefined the meaning of

Love, the way we know it

Love, the way we show it

I don't want any changes

When it comes to you

I like us the way it is

No matter what happens

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

 

I know that we belong

Do you believe in us

Just give it half a chance

Yes our love

Will still be strong

Girl I believe in us

I'll give you all I can

 

I don't want any changes

Unless you want them to

Forever ain't long enough, baby

Nothing can change us

Say it's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Repeat Chorus

 

Angel ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon)

I, I can't read the future

But I still want to hold you close

Right now, I need that from you

So give me the morning

Sharing another day with you

Is all I want to know

 

And baby I, I've tried to forget you

But the light of your eyes

Still shines like an Angel

A spirit that won't let me go

 

And I, I didn't wanna tell you

Things I didn't wanna know myself

I was afraid to show

But you, you gave me a reason

A reason to face the truth, oh yes you did

To face the truth, face the truth

Face the truth

 

And baby I, I've tried to forget you

But the light of your eyes

Still shines, you shine like an Angel

A spirit that won't let me go

Won't let me go, let go of my heart

 

And baby I, I've tried to forget you

But the light of your eyes

Still shines like an Angel

A spirit that won't let me go

Won't let me go

 

 

I'm Free ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon )

Do you see what I see

A rainbow shining over us

In the middle of a hopeless storm

Sometimes I'm blinded by my feelings

And I can't see beyond my troubled mind

Afraid of what I'll find

The story of our lives

But there's tomorrow

 

Chorus

Cause I'm free, I'm free

And things are only as important

As I want them to be

We'll have a breath of sunshine

When the rain goes away

I pray, I pray

 

Do you need a friend right now

In the road that you're going to

If you get lost just call me I'll be there

Yes I'll be right there

Cause though I may not have the answers

At least I know what I'm looking for

 

Yes I can do without sorrow

There's a day after tomorrow

So I'm leaving behind

 

Chorus

I'm free, I'm free

Things are only as important

As I want them to be

We'll have a breath of sunshine

When the rain goes away

I pray, I pray

 

And if you want to share my dreams

Well all you have to do is say it, say it

Let me hear you loud and clear

Cause I need you if you wanna be, if you wanna be

 

Do you see what I see

A rainbow shining over us

In the middle of a hopeless storm

We'll be safe and warm

Repeat chorus

 

 

If You Go ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon)

Taking a day at a time

Dealing with feelings I don't wanna hide

Learning to love as I go, baby

Without taking you along for a ride

 

Tried to find myself

Tried to find the truth

Get out from this shell

Girl I'm almost there

To show you how much I really care

 

If you say goodbye

There'll be something missing in my life

'Cause you know

That all I really (all I really) want is you

 

Sorry if you felt misled

But I know what I feel, I know what I said, baby

God I hope you believe, believe in all that we can be

The future in us together in love

 

You're the reason I'm strong

Don't you think I don't know

This is where I belong

Give me the time

To say that you're mine, to say that you're mine

 

If you say goodbye

There'll be something missing in my life

'Cause you know

That all I really (all I really) want is you

 

Tried to find myself

Tried to find the truth

Get out from this shell

Girl I'm almost there

 

So let me show you, so let me show you.

If you go say goodbye

There'll be something missing in my life

'Cause you know

That all I really (all I really) want is you

 

If you go say goodbye

There'll be something missing in my life

'Cause you know

That all I really (all I really) want is you.

 

 

 

Whipped ( Jon Secada / Tom McWilliams)

 

I'm a man, I'm a man such a loving man

Understand that I'm strong and I know I belong

That's why there's no way you can say what you say

Without feeling that way I got to go away

Got to go away ain't playing swaying

I ain't making no waves make no promises

There's no second best more or less win or lose

I'm looking for the truth, looking for the truth yea

 

It's the real thing

Just what love can bring

 

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Know what I want

 

It's a shame, it's a shame must get out of this shell

Feel life so sweet happiness complete

Is it possible I can come to terms

So I come to learn just what I believe

Drop the act it's a fact there's a master plan

There's always a plan 'cause you will and you can

What you know you don't know so admit and commit

Be a part of my world, be a part of my world yeah

 

Be a part of my world

See this side of my world

 

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Know what I want

 

Ah ah ah ah see what I feel

Ah ah ah future is clear ah ah

Baby do you see what I see

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

I know you know I know you know what is real

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Let me tell you what I feel

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

 

It's the real thing

Only just what love can bring

 

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Know what I want

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Don't know what I want, oh oh

Tell ya, I just don't know what I want

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

Be whipped from the outside

Be whipped from the inside

Be whipped from the outside

Whipped from the inside looking for something

 

 

Mental Picture ( Jon Secada / Miguel A. Morejon)

I've been avoiding things I'm missing

Then you came into my life a brand new flower, baby

A reminder of what happiness is like

On the other side

What can't I feel?

(I'm saying my blind side)

 

Chorus

And if a mental picture 's all I've got, to go on

For a while or more

Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you

Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know

You're a picture to remember

 

Time was of the essence

And as usual the day turns into minutes

Sharing love and tenderness

That's the nerve you struck in me that sent a signal

To the other side

Girl I don't know

I'm saying my blind side

 

And if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on

For a while or more

Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you

Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on, I know

You're a picture to remember

 

Take me to the other side

Why can't I feel?

Out of my blind side

 

And oh if a mental picture's all I've got

All I've got to go on

For a while or more

Girl you know I'll always think of you, think of you

Yes if a mental picture's all I've got, to go on

I know, You're a picture to remember, remember.

 

 

Where Do I Go From You ( Diane Warren)

Empty sky where the stars used to be

They shine for everybody else

But don't shine for me no

Since you went away

Ever since you took your love away from me

Rainbows fade

They fade to black and white

No it's never gonna be the same

The same without you in my life girl

'Cause you were the best thing I ever had

I'll never find another love like that

So tell me, tell me

 

Chorus

Where do I go from you

A lonely street is where every road

Is gonna lead me to oh, oh

What do I do with these blues baby

I wanna know, where do I go from you

 

I should've took the time

To show you how much I care

Should've realized just what I had

When I had you there

I let you get away

Should've never let you get away from me

Miss your smile

I wish I was with you girl

I regret the day I threw away

The sweetest heaven ever found baby

'Cause you were the best thing I ever had, yes you were

Where do I find another love like that

So tell me, tell me baby yeah

 

Where do I go from you

A lonely street is where every road

Is gonna lead me to oh, oh

What do I do with these blues baby

I wanna know, where do I go from you.

'Cause I keep wonderin' what I'm gonna do

'Cause I could search every place

But I'll never find someone

To take the place of you

No it's just no use, it's just no use

Where do I go baby tell me please

 

Where do I go from you

A lonely street is where every road

Is gonna lead me to oh, oh

What do I do with these blues baby

I wanna know, where do I go from you

Where do I go from you

A lonely street is where every road

Is gonna lead me to

Where do I go from you

A lonely street is where every road

 

 

 

Take Me ( Jon Secada / Lawrence P.Demer)

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

And I promise you, girl I promise

To love you as if your heart were my own

And we're not alone no not anymore

 

I can't believe that I found you

I can't believe that you're here

After all that we've been through to have you so near

And to hold you so close

I can't believe I still need you

And that you feel the same

After all that we've been through

I know it's a shame just to throw it away

 

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

You're the only one, and I promise you, I promise

To love you as if your heart were my own

And we're not alone no not anymore

 

To remember and cherish the things

Recollect, and reflect all our dreams

Spend a lifetime if needed to see

Everything that we know we can be

 

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

And I promise you girl, I promise

To love you as if your heart were my own

And we're not alone no not anymore

 

Look back with sweet, so sweet emotions

Look back with no regrets

Take a real hard look and tell me,

Tell me if, we, we can forget

'Cause I know that we can

And that you'll see things my way

And that we'll come to terms

And I know that there's still

So much we can learn

So much we can learn

 

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

You are the only one, you're the only one

That I want to love

Love you as if your heart were my own

And we're not alone no not anymore

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

And I promise you girl I promise

To love you as if your heart were my own

'Cause we're not alone no

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

Baby, baby yeah

Love you as if your heart were my own

Heart were my own 'cause we're not alone no

Take me, you're the only one that I wanna know

Baby don't you know

Love you as if your heart were my own

Heart my own.

 

 

 

 

If I Never Knew You (Menken/Schwartz)-Duet With Shanice Wilson

(male solo)

If I never knew you, if I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of how precious life can be

And if I never held you, I would never have a clue

How at last I find in you, the missing part of me.

 

In this world so full of fear, full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear, in your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you, I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever, if I never knew you.

 

(female solo)

If I never knew you, I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing I could feel a love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you, I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever, if I never knew you.

 

(male solo)

I thought our love would be so beautiful

(female solo)

Somehow we make the whole world right

(duet)

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they leave are worthless whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right.

 

(female solo)

If I never knew you

(male solo)

There is no moment I regret

(female solo)

If I never knew this love

(male solo)

Since the moment that we met

(female solo)

I'd have no inkling of how precious life can be

(male solo)

If our time's auspicious as that

Is here at last.

 

(duet)

I thought our love would be so beautiful

(female solo)

So beautiful...

(duet)

Somehow we make the world right

(female solo)

I thought our love would be so beautiful

We turn the darkness into light

(duet)

And still my heart is saying we were right.

 

(male solo)

We were right

And if I never knew you

(female solo)

And if I never knew you

(male solo)

I'd have lived my whole life through

(duet)

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you

 

 

 

Too Late, Too Soon (Jon Secada, James Harris III, Terry Lewis)

 

Tender was the night

Took an early flight

Rushing' home tonight

Somethin' wasn't right

I can't believe my eyes

I know I must be dreamin'

 

Did I come home too late, too soon

You in his arms told me the truth

Too late, too soon

 

I wish I would have known

I wouldn't have left you all alone

Temptation led you wrong

Tell me how long has this been going on

Cause I thought our love was strong

I guess I must be dreaming

 

Did I come home too late, too son

You in his arms told me the truth

Too late, too soon

 

What was I supposed to do

You had to see it for yourself

Cause I thought our love was strong

I guess I must be dreamin'

 

Repeat Chorus

 

 

Believe (Jon Secada,, Scott Shapiro)

 

From that first hello

Though you never asked for it

You took hold of my soul

And what you and I don't know

Destiny has brought

Inside our hearts and lives

And if there ever was a doubt

 

Not to believe

That some things are meant to be

Cause no matter how far

Or where you are

I feel you here

As close as my mind can see you

A vision of tenderness and love

For us to share

 

I thought I would regret it

Then I thought I could forget

The times we shared together

But I never thought I'd care for you baby

I never really thought it'd come to this

And if there ever was a doubt

 

Not to believe

That some things are meant to be

Cause no matter how far

Or where you are

I feel you here

As close as my mind can see you

A vision of tenderness and love

For us to share

 

I believe that we were meant to be

 

 

* If I want to write credits of this album, I will have to write more than 200 persons-you know that it is a best album-.

So add below persons to previous albums!!!

Shanice  - Performer
Tammy Kizer  - Producer
Lisa Reddick  - Producer
Odea Murphy  - Mastering
Kevin Flaherty  - Producer, Compilation
Sam Gay  - Art Direction
Amy Dakos  - Design

* This is my idea about this album :

Greatest hits of every singer or band is interesting for me, and when it is Jon's greatest hits ,it will be fantastic. It is a 
complete selection of him. You can find "If I never knew you" in this album too.

 

* An article from :

  Jon Secada really had only one blockbuster album, but he nevertheless was one of the finest adult contemporary singers of the '90s, as Greatest Hits proves. Released at the tail-end of his Virgin contract, just before he began recording for Sony Music, Greatest Hits covers his first four albums, including not only all of his hits — "Just Another Day," "Do You Believe In Us," "Angel," "I'm Free," "If You Go," "Whipped," "Mental Picture" — but selected highlights from the records themselves. As such, it's a definitive portrait. Secada always sounded good on record, but his material was occasionally uneven. Here, every song connects, making it not only a fine greatest hits collection, but arguably his best record to date.
