I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Million miles away... (8x)

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Million miles away... (8x)

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy

All the stars in front of me

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home

I was sent to outer space

To find another happy place

Now I'm left here all alone

Million miles away from home.

"Memories of You" is a popular song with lyrics written by Andy Razaf and music composed by Eubie Blake and published in 1930.

The song was introduced by Singer Minto Cato in the Broadway show Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1930. A 1930 version recorded by Louis Armstrong featuring Lionel Hampton is the first known use of the vibraphone in popular music.

A version of the song recorded by The Four Coins from the biopic The Benny Goodman Story reached #22 on the Billboard magazine chart in 1955. Doc Severinsen and the NBC Orchestra performed a moving, melancholy instrumental version on the final airing of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, May 22, 1992. The song played over a five-minute "scrapbook" tribute montage showing brief silent clips of some of Carson's favorite guests - seen interacting with the host through the years.

Waking skies at sunrise

Every sunset too

Seems to be bringing me

Memories of you

Here and there, everywhere

Scenes that we once knew

And they all just recall

Memories of you

How I wish I could forget

Those happy yesteryears

That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams in my dreams

Spite of all I do

Everything seems to bring.

"Smooth Operator" is a song by English band Sade from their debut studio album Diamond Life (1984). It was released as the third single from Diamond Life in the United Kingdom as a 7-inch single with "Spirit" as its B-side, and as a 12-inch maxi single with "Smooth Operator" and "Red Eye" on side A and "Spirit" on side B. The song is also more or less the album's title track as the title comes from the first sung line in the song following a spoken introduction.

"Smooth Operator" became Sade's first Top Ten hit in the US, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks in May 1985. The song spent 13 weeks in the Top 40, and also topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for two weeks. Although "Your Love Is King" remains Sade's biggest hit in the UK to date, "Smooth Operator" is the band's breakthrough hit on the US charts, and their most successful single internationally.

Helen Folasade Adu CBE (Yoruba: Fọláṣadé Adú [fɔ̄láʃādé ādú]; born 16 January 1959), known professionally as Sade Adu or simply Sade(/ʃɑːˈdeɪ/shah-DAY), is an English singer, songwriter, and actress. She is best known as the lead vocalist of the English band Sade.

Born in Ibadan, Sade gained modest recognition as a fashion designer and part-time model, prior to joining the band Pride in the early 1980s. After gaining notoriety as a performer, she formed the band Sade, and secured a recording contract with Epic Records in 1983. The band then released the álbum Diamond Life a year later, which became one of the best selling albums of the era, and the best-selling debut ever by a British female vocalist. It also gained widespread critical acclaim, and is largely considered one of the best albums of all-time.

Diamond life lover boy

We move in space with minimum waste

And maximum joy

City lights and business nights

When you require streetcar desire

For higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts

When sentiment is left to chance

No place to be ending but somewhere to start

No need to ask

He's a smooth operator

Smooth operator

Smooth operator

Smooth operator

Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, western male

Across the north and south to key largo, love for sale

Face to face, each classic case

We shadow box and double cross

Yet need the chase

A license to love, insurance to hold

Melts all your memories and change into gold

His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold

No need to ask

He's a smooth operator

Smooth operator

Smooth operator

Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, western male

Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
