Lionel Richie

CORRECT me if I had a mistake! In 1984, I saw Lionel Richie  sang at stage of stadium olympic in USA. He sang All Nigft Long expressively, one of his famous song. After that, I underlined his name in my not or memorized his name in my mind.

Then, when I was freshman, I heard his voice again: Hello. O’ my God, this is very melancolic song of him. So, I want to know him further.

Born in 20 st June 1949  in Tuskegee, Alabama, his real name is Lionel Brockman Richie Jr. Lately, “Brockman” eliminate from his name and became well known as one of the member of Commodores. He is one of American singer who sold his album more than 50 millions records. Besides singer, he also known as song writer and even actor.

Here I have four lirycs of Lionel Richie for you; Hello, Three Times A Lady, Endless Love, and of course All Night Long.

Hello 

I’ve been alone with you, inside my mind.
And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips, a thousand times.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door.

Hello!
Is it me you’re looking for?

I can see it in your eyes, i can see it in your smile.
You’re all I’ve ever wanted and my arms are open wide.
cause you know just what to say and you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much….
I love you.

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again, how much I care.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow.

Hello!
I’ve just got to let you know

Cause I wonder where you are, and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you!?.
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven’t got a clue.
But let me start by saying…
I love you.

Hello!?
Is it me you’re looking for??

Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you.
Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven’t got a clue.
But let me start by saying…
I love you.

Three Times A Lady

Thanks for the times
That you’ve given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we’ve come
To the end of our rainbow
There’s something
I must say out loud

You’re once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
Yes your once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you

You shared my dreams
My joys my pains
You made my life worth living for
And if I had to live my
life over again
I spend each and every moment with you

You’re once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
Yes you once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you

When we are together
The moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
There’s nothing to keep us apart

You’re once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
Yes you’re once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you

Endless Love
(Duet with Diana Ross)

My love,
There’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s bright

My first love,
You’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make

And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do…

And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun

Forever
(Ohhhhhh)
I’ll hold you close in my arms
I can’t resist your charms

And love
Oh, love
I’ll be a fool
For you,
I’m sure
You know I don’t mind
Oh, you know I don’t mind

‘Cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I’ve found in you
My endless love

Oooh-woow
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I’ll be that fool
For you,
I’m sure
You know I don’t mind
Oh you know-
I don’t mind

And, YES
You’ll be the only one
‘Cause NO one can deny
This love I have inside
And I’ll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love
