         Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953), known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and songwriter. Bolton originally performed in the hard rock and heavy metal genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. He became better known for his series of pop rock ballads, recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.
        Bolton's achievements include selling more than 75 million records, recording eight top 10 albums and two number-one singles on the Billboard charts, as well as winning six American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards.
        When a Man Loves a Woman is one of the most popular love songs of all time composed by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright and recorded by Percy Sledge and released in 1966. The hit was inspired by the end of the relationship between Percy and his girlfriend, who tried a modeling career. The song has already been re-recorded by several artists such as Michael Bolton, Karen Dalton, Johnny Rivers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny Rogers, Art Garfunkel, among others.

When a man loves a Woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin'else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
 
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
 
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd given up all his comfort
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
 
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, baby please don't treat me bad
 
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
 
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause, baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman (repeat...)

Ai....
Quanto querer
Cabe em meu coração
Ai....
Me faz sofrer
Faz que me mata
E se não mata, fere
Vai...
Sem me dizer
Na casa da paixão
Sai...
 Quando bem quer
Traz uma praga
E me afaga a pele

Crescei, luar
Pra iluminar as trevas
Fundas da paixão
Eu quis lutar
Contra o poder do amor
Caí nos pés do vencedor
Para ser o serviçal
De um samurai
Mas eu tô tão feliz!
Dizem que o amor

Atrai...

I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES
ELTON JOHN
COMPOSITOR:  song by British singer Elton John, with music by John and lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Davey Johnstone.
PRODUTOR: Chris Thomas
 álbum: Too Low for Zero
GÊNERO: SOFT ROCK
Data de lançamento: 1983

Too Low For Zero é o décimo sétimo álbum de estúdio do cantor e compositor britânico Elton John, lançado em 1983.
Pela primeira vez desde Blue Moves, em 1976, todas as letras foram escritas por Bernie Taupin, que continua nesta tarefa até os dias atuais. Por insistência da Taupin, Elton decidiu voltar ao básico e retornou ao trabalho a tempo integral com Taupin. Elton também se reuniu com o núcleo de sua banda de apoio do início dos anos 70: Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson e Davey Johnstone.
O álbum foi produzido por Chris Thomas e gravado no Air Studios em Montserrat e Sunset Sound Recorders em Hollywood. Pela primeira vez desde Empty Sky, Elton toca todos os teclados do álbum e ele faria o mesmo nos próximos.
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you more than I love life itself

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can

How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far

How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
