Make Way For Dionne Warwick (1964)












A House Is Not A Home lyrics - Dionne Warwick

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no-one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no-one there to hold you tight
And no-one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is still a room
Even though there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears

Darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

People lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Barbra Streisand)

People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
With one person one very special person
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

(They Long To Be) Close To You lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Richard Chamberlain)

Why do birds suddenly apear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why
All the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why
All the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

The Last One To Be Loved lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Lou Johnson)

And now you're here
My lonely days are through
Oh I'm so glad
That I saved my love for you
I'm the last one to be loved
I'm the last one to be loved

Land Of Make Believe lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by The Drifters)

You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe

In the Land of Make-Believe
You're mine tonight, although you are far away
In the Land of Make-Believe
I'm holding you tight

A silver moon is shining above
And there's love in your eyes
And I'm kissing you like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise

I've been livin' in the Land of Make-Believe
Since you've been gone
I need you so much that, without your love,
I must deceive myself to go on

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me

You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe

I need you so much

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me

You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe
In the Land of Make-Believe
You are always here with me
In the Land of Make-Believe

Reach Out For Me lyrics - Dionne Warwick

When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept
The abuse you are taking
Darlin' reach out for me

Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll confort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just given in
Darlin' reach out for me

You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart) lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
so be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart
Oh no!

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it gets me down
If you ever should say goodbye
It would be so awful the angels would cry

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
so be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart
Oh no!

(If you break my heart, break my heart)

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
It's a day I dreamed of so long now it's comin' true
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise the angels will see

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart
Oh...

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa
La. la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, laaaaa...

Walk On By lyrics - Dionne Warwick

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
That's all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye

Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta walk on by (don't stop)
Baby never even see the tears I cry (don't stop)
Now you really gotta walk on by (don't stop)

Wishin' And Hopin' lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms

So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care

Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his

(You gotta)
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his, you will be his

I Smiled Yesterday lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Though I smiled yesterday
You know I'm not gonna smile anymore today
(Since you went away from me)
How I miss you
(Since you went away from me)
I long to kiss you
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

Though I laughed yesterday
You know I'm not gonna laugh anymore today
(Every moment we're apart)
I get so lonely
(Every moment we’re apart)
I love you only
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

Get Rid Of Him lyrics - Dionne Warwick

We are your friends
And we got some good advice
Before you let him break your heart
You'd better think twice
He is the one who'll tease your cryin'
He's only out to break your heart
Him with his cheatin' and he's lyin'
He's gonna rip your dreams apart

But I love him
And there's nothing I can do
(Get rid of him) Uh-uh
(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Do you mean to say you're still consider him?) Ah-ha

When you tell me that he's lazy
(Get rid of him)
You're just sayin' the things I know
(Get rid of him)
You'd better tell me that I'm crazy
(Get rid of him)
But I'll never let him go

He will hurt you
And he'll break your heart in two
(Get rid of him) Uh-uh
(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Do you mean to say you're still consider him?) Ah-ha

(Get rid of him)
(Get rid of him)
(Get rid of him)

Oh, but I love him
And there's nothing I can do
(Get rid of him) Uh-uh
(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Do you really mean to say that you can still go on this way?)

(Get rid of him) No
(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Get rid of him) Uh-uh
(Get rid of him)

I know he's out to break my heart
And he'll rip my dreams apart
But I love that fella so
And I'll never let him go

(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Get rid of him) Oh, no
(Get rid of him) No

Make The Night A Little Longer lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Tammi Terrell)

My days are years 'cause I don't see my baby
Till the stars are in the sky
And every night when we can be together
Time just seems to hurry by

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm, 'cause when he hugs and holds me
Everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know, I hate to see the sunlight
Takes away that man of mine

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Just a little longer)

So Lord I'm beggin' you to make the night
Just a little longer
Make the night
Just a little longer
So I can kiss him
Just a little longer
And hold him tight
Just a little longer

Then embrace his arms
Just a little longer
Capture all of his charms
Just a little longer
Please Lord, make the night ....
