      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.
        Only a Woman Like You  is an album by Michael Bolton, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music).
        The album constituted a comeback for Bolton peaking at #36. Nevertheless, the album's success could by no way be compared to the success of his previous efforts. The album failed to gain any certification, selling about 400,000 copies in the US and less than 1 million globally.
The night becomes the dawn
To prove that love goes on
It's witten in the stars and in my heart of hearts
With you is where I still belong
 
Through every page we turn
Each lesson that we've learned
Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees
But love is right and never wrong
 
We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way we gave our soul
We gave it all for love, all for love
 
In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach into your heart no matter where you are
I promise we will find a way
 
To walk the road we've known
The road that leads us home
A million dreams I've dreamed in every one i've seen
The face of you and you alone
 
We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way, we gave our soul
We gave it all for love, we gave it all for love
 
A lifetime goes by so fast
For the secrets that remain
Soon the future becomes the past
When I hold you again, I'm gonna hold you forever
 
In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach you through the dark
To reach deep into your heart
And promise we will find a way
 
We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way, we gave our soul
We gave it all for love, we gave it all for love.

Les mois d'août au matin
J'ai la gorge serrée
Pas envie de me lever
Mes volets condamnés
Je t'ai prié tout l'été
 
Tu n'es jamais revenu
Un jour tu m'as quitté
Et tu as disparu
Quand vient décembre au soir
Je m'attache à penser
Qu'à la nouvelle année
Tu voudrais me revoir
Je t'ai prié tout l'hiver
Tu n'es jamais rentré
J'ai du croire le contraire
Oui, je me suis trompée
 
Les saisons se traînent à ma place
Me laissant seule en face à face
Face à je ne sais quoi
A nos amours que le temps chasse
Tout se dissout mais rien n'efface
Le souvenir de toi
Le souvenir de toi
 
L'automne à la fenêtre
N'a de sens sans toi
Mes lundis se répètent
A te chanter tout bas
Je garde les peut-être
Qui me retiennent à toi
Si précieuses sont les miettes
Qu'il me reste de ça
 
Les saisons se traînent à ma place
Me laissant seule en face à face
Face à je ne sais quoi
A nos amours que le temps chasse
Tout se dissout mais rien n'efface
Le souvenir de toi
Le souvenir de toi
Le souvenir de toi
 
Valsent les amours mortes
Qui fleurissent les blés
J'attends devant ma porte
Je te laisse t'en aller.

LONELY DAYS

BEE GEES
SONGWRITERS: MAURICE ERNEST GIBB; ROBIN HUGH GIBB & BARRY ALAN GIBB
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: 2 YEARS ON
LABEL: POLYDOR RECORDS
GENRE: BALLAD
YEAR: 1970
 
          The Bee Gees were a music group formed in 1958, featuring brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid- to late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid- to late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. The Bee Gees have occasionally been referred to as The Disco Kings.
         Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the skiffle/rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967, when producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience. The Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977) was the turning point of their career, with both the film and soundtrack having a cultural impact throughout the world, enhancing the disco scene's mainstream appeal. They won five Grammy Awards for Saturday Night Fever, including Album of the Year.
       The Bee Gees have sold over 120 million records worldwide (with estimates as high as over 220 million), making them among the best-selling music artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997; the presenter of the award to "Britain's First Family of Harmony" was Brian Wilson, historical leader of the Beach Boys, another "family act" featuring three harmonising brothers. The Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says, "Only Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees." With nine #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 The Bee Gees are the third-most successful band in Billboard charts history behind only The Beatles and The Supremes.
       Following Maurice's sudden death in January 2003 at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group's name after 45 years of activity. In 2009, Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed that the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. Robin died in May 2012, aged 62, after a prolonged period of failing health, leaving Barry as the only surviving member of the group.
          "Lonely Days" is a ballad written and performed by the Bee Gees. It appeared on their álbum 2 Years On, and was released as a single, becoming their first Top Five hit in the US, peaking at number three in the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching number one in the Cashbox and Record World charts. Barry Gibb later re-recorded the song with country quartet Little Big Town for his 2021 album Greenfields.

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant
 
Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?
 
Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights.
Where would I be without my woman?
 
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
 
Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
 
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
 
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?

          Dancing on the Ceiling is the third solo studio album by American singer Lionel Richie, released on July 15, 1986. The album was originally to be titled Say You, Say Me, after the Academy Award-winning track of the same name, but it was renamed to a different track's title after Richie rewrote several songs on the album. The album was released to generally positive reviews and it made Nº 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 4 million copies. Following this album's release, Richie went on a long hiatus, not releasing an album of entirely new material for another ten years.
I say
What is happening here
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights, yeah
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
 
The room is hot and that's good (and that's good)
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a climb the walls
Ooh it looks like everybody is having a ball
Woo-oh, what a feeling (oh, what a feeling)
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Woo-oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling (oh, what a feeling)
When we're dancing on the ceiling (we're dancing on the ceiling)
Woo-oh, what a feeling (Woo-oh, what a feeling)
When we're dancing on the ceiling (we're dancing on the ceiling, yeah)
 
Woo
Come on!
Everybody start to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody
If you see somebody hangin' around
Don't get uptight
The only thing we want to do tonight
Is go 'round and 'round
And turn upside down, yeah
 
Come on!
So come on! (Yeah, come on)
Let's get loose
Don't hold back
'Cause ain't no use (ain't no use)
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party
We only want to get down
Woo-oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Woo-oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Woo-oh, what a feeling (oh, what a feeling)
When we're dancing on the ceiling (when we're dancing on the ceiling)
Oh, what a feeling (oh, what a feeling)
Dancing (when we're dancing on the ceiling)

Dancing on the ceiling
