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

Mesmerizing points of view

Hypnotic conversations

Contemplative swinging moods

Drew me to you.

It never mattered when or where

Who you'd been with

The color of your hair

Baby, I always cared

But you couldn't see

Inside of me

You didn't notice my intentions

Nothing but dreams

Is all that I carry

Is all that I carry with me

Cynical attitudes

The center of attention

I wonder if you understood

You could've changed my life

Focusing my energy

Setting expectations

Trying to convince myself

She loves me

A little look here

A little smile there

Moments and memories that we've shared

Roses and things

Silly it seems

Is all that carry

Dreams that I carry

Dreams that I carry with me

(Background vocal line)

I never knew

What to do

To make you

To believe

In my dreams

Silly dreams

We had no chance

Never made plans

So many things slipped through our hands

Don't wanna look back

Too late to look back

I gotta get her off my mind

I got no more please

It's over for me

A dream's all I carry

Dreams that I carry

Dreams that I carry

Repeats

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 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

Life is sweet

Knowing you found what you've always been

Looking for

That's how I feel about you

Everything that you do

It's ecstacy

True moments of passion never die

When I hold you in my arms

And hear to tenderly sigh

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

I don't know

Exactly what I was looking for

But once I met you I knew

Nobody else could ever do

In the heat of love

Decisions we make may not all be real

But one thing I know for sure

Is that I love you so

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

Wanna make something real

Show me how you feel

Life is sweet

Knowing you found what you've always been

Looking for

That's how I feel about you

Everything that you do

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

Our love is one of a kind

Make no mistake, make no mistake

I love you

It'll never be the same, not this way again

With someone new, but someone new

Will just have to do

Cause you never loved me at all

You told me yourself

Why'd you stay with me baby

You'd let me take the chance, left me making plans

For nobody, nobody

You said you were waiting

For your heart to fall in love

But you never loved me at all

I was just your friend that's all

But they say...

Time heals all wounds

I guess you made up your mind baby

Time heals all wounds

I hope the time can heal my heart

Heal my broken heart...

Cause I loved you

And I was true

You know I've been carrying a failure's cross

I did everything to win your heart

But you never loved my at all

I was just your friend that's all

But they say...

Chorus

Time heals all wounds

I guess you made up your mind baby

Time heals all wounds

I hope the time can heal my heart

And what of the nights

When you looked in my eyes

And you told me that you loved me

You made me feel in my heart

It was real not a spark

But a flame burning inside

Who can put out this fire inside

Chorus Repeats

I try a little bit of this, ease your pain

I try a little bit of that and more

Cause I know what and when you need it

It's you that I adore

So tell me why, tell me why

Why you keep your distance

Why do you try to resist

Every time I insist

My love, my love, my love, my love.

Do you really want me

Do you really want me.

Every time you bring me up

You bring me down

It really breaks my heart

I could never say goodbye

Never stay apart

It's a crime, it's a crime

We can't stay together

Cause I got nothing to hide

I just want you to try

My love, my love, my love.

Do you really want me

Do you really want me

And it's a shame

That you keep your distance

Why do your try to resist

Every time I insist

My love, my love, my love, my love

Do you really want me

Do you really want me.

I've been living life without a reason

I've been living love without the time

You've lost touch with what I'm feeling

I got way too tired to read between the lines

I've been misunderstood

I've been mistreated

Somehow I knew you would not

Take back what you said

I've been misunderstood but

Your wish in granted

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone

Are you asking me if there's a reason

To continue what I thought was doing fine

So so fine

Contentment lacks mutual pleasing

Is much different than both being satisfied

I've been misunderstood

I've been mistreated

Somehow I knew you would not

Take back what you said

I've been misunderstood but

Your wish in granted

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone

Never thought I would consider

Loving someone new

Cause in my plans for happiness

I only thought of you

I've been misunderstood

I've been mistreated

Somehow I knew you would not

Take back what you said

I've been misunderstood but

Your wish in granted

By daylight I'll be gone

By daylight I'll be gone.

You say we're falling out of love

You say we're running out of things to say

Don't you think we've had enough

Letting useless words get in the way

Can't you see what's going on

We're bringing problems where

They don't belong

There's no way to work it out

When there's always something

We can turn this love around but

There's always something

Stop and think and realize

We got something here that's really good

And maybe all we gotta do

Is believe in us the way we should

Without questions, without doubts

Live and learn babe that's what love's about

There's no way to work it out when

There's always something

We can turn this love around but

There's always something

Starting here and starting

Now we can work together

But we haven't got a prayer when

There's always something

Always agonizing, never compromising

Always finding something wrong

Stop and think and look around you

Since the day I found you

There's been something wrong

There's no way to work it out when

There's always something

We can turn this love around but

Starting here and starting

Now we can work together

But we haven't got a prayer when

There's always something

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

Solo al pensar

Que cuando no estas me siento diferente

Cuando estas en mis brazos

Quiero amarrarte a mi

Y no entiendo

Como puedes estar sin mi

Yo quiero estar contigo

No sé porqué, dime porqué

Ya, ya no puedo más

Ya me es imposible soportar

Otro día más sin verte

Ven, dame una razón

Si es algo que no tiene solución

Es otro día mas sin verte

Nada que hacer

Palabras tal vez que puedan detenerte

Que tengo que decirte

Para que no te vayas

No te separes mas de mi

Hazme el favor y dime

Dime que puedo hacer mi amor

Te tengo y no tengo nada

Estoy tan cansado de estar separados

Ya, ya no puede más

Ya me es imposible soportar

Otro día mas sin verte

Ven, dame una razón

Si es algo que no tiene solución

Es otro día mas sin verte

Yo, no veo el futuro

Pero quiere tenerte aquí

Conmigo, lo necesito así

No pienses, no pienses en mañana

Vamos a amarnos hoy

Ahora, este momento vivir

Mi vida yo trataré de olvidarte

Pero la luz de tus ojos

Brilla, eres un angel

Que alumbra mi corazón

Yo, no quise decirte

Lo que no quería saber de mi

Tenía miedo sentir

Pero tu, tu me enseñaste

A enfrentar a la realidad

A la verdad

La realidad, la verdad

Mi vida yo trataré de olvidarte

Pero la luz de tus ojos

Brilla, eres un angel

Que alumbra mi corazón

Mi angel

* This is my idea about this album :

Cool ,fantastic ,beautiful and what else can I say?!!...You can find everything you need for listening to a good music in this perfect album. Believe me that I've listened to this album more than 1000 times, but it is still new for me.

It sold more than 6 million copies and the singles brought huge success for him. By this album he became No.1 adults contemporary singer in 90's. Emilio & Gloria Estefan helped him a lot in this one. You can see Gloria Estefan in his "Just Another Day" video clip. He co-wrote almost all of the songs with his old friend Miguel Morejon. I don't know know why these good friends doesn't work with each other anymore (After "Secada-1997").I believe that Jon's best songs are those which were co-worked with Morejon.

He chose a good formula for his first album and has done it for other albums too. He chooses 2 of his good songs and records a Spanish version of them at the end of his albums. 

* An article from :

Secada has a beautifully versatile voice, which would mean nothing if his material didn't equal his talents. Fortunately, this collection of smooth adult contemporary R&B does serve his talents well, making Jon Secada a satisfying and promising debut.
