Stevie Wonder Lyrics

Ebb Tide lyrics

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea

And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide

With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace

I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real

Really mine
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms

Sad Boy lyrics - Stevie Wonder

On the beach I build a castle
Out of loneliness and sand
I'm the saddest boy I know
Just had to build me a wonderland
'Cause when you came by hand in hand
With another guy
I just could not stop those big tears
Falling from my eyes

The high tides coming in
Oh no no I can't stand to see my kingdom end
The boys laughed at me and said
Oh sad boy never be lovers by the sand

The tide came rushing in
Took my poor castle out to the sea
If the ocean be that strong
Well then that's where I wanna be

When she reads in the paper
That this same sad boy has drowned
Will she laugh with him
And say "That funny clown"

Happy Street lyrics - Stevie Wonder

The Party At The Beach House lyrics - Stevie Wonder

We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time

We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time

You're gonna see all of your friends
You haven't seen since school begins

We're gonna swing at the beach house
All the girls in hot black dress
Waiting for summer to get back now

We're gonna have a party at the beach house
Everybody's gonna have a good time they got to

Beachstomp lyrics - Stevie Wonder

There is a dance that they do on the beach, yeah
It's called the beach stomp
And it's done with the feet, yeah
Well you kick just a little sand
Then you grab your partner by the hand

Catch a wave on the run
You're doing the beachstomp, yeah

Place your surf
Down to your side
They catch a big wave
Then begin to ride, yeah
But you grab a real tight grip
Get ready for the great big dip

Come on yeah and do the beachstomp with me
Yeah Yeah ah Yeah

Now the boys are there
With their transistor radios
And all of the girls
Are in their polka dot bikinis

If you wanna swing until two
I'll tell you what you can do
Grab a chick by the hand
And do the beachstomp

Now there is a dance that they do on the beach, yeah
It's called the beach stomp
And it's done with the feet, yeah
Well you kick just a little sand
Then you grab your partner by the hand

Everybody come on yeah yeah yeah
Do the beachstomp with me yeah yeah...

Beyond The Sea lyrics - Stevie Wonder

(originally by Charles Trenet)

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailin'

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

"With A Song In My Heart" (1963)

With A Song In My Heart lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Though I know that we meet ev'ry night
And we couldn't have change since the last time,
To my joy and delight,
It's a new kind of love at first sight.
Though it's you and it's I all the time
Ev'ry meeting's marvelous pastime.
You're increasingly sweet,
So whenever we happened to met
I greet you...

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching you hand
It tells that you're standing near, and..
At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens his portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you.

Oh, the moon's not a moon for a night
And these stars will not twinkle and fade out,
And the words in my ears
Will resound for the rest of my years.
In the morning I find with delight
Not a note of our music is played out.
It will be just as sweet,
And an air that I'll live to repeat:
I greet you...

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching you hand
It tells that you're standing near, and..
At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens his portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you.

Smile lyrics - Stevie Wonder

(originally by Nat King Cole)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Make Someone Happy lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.

One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you're ev'rything to.

Fame if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her, build your world around her.

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too.

Dream lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings in-n the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is thr-ou-gh
Dream and they might come true
Things are never as bad as they seem
So dream dream dream

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream and they might come true
Things are never as bad as they seem
So dream dream dream

Put On A Happy Face lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!

Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look
Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face

And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

On The Sunny Side Of The Street lyrics - Stevie Wonder

Grab your coat and get your hat,
Leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear that pitter pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
'Cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny
