LYRICS - Maybe This Time
Maybe this time I? ll be lucky
Maybe this time he'll stay
Maybe this time for the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time and the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That's what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win.
LYRICS - Never Never Never (Partial Lyrics)
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die
for you
You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad
for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone
but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone
but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone
but you
LYRICS - As I Love You:
I will love you as I love you, all my life,
Every moment spent with you,
Makes me more content with you,
Just as you are,
You are all I could pray for,
All that you are,
That's what I wake up each day for,
Every single touch and tingle I adore,
Every kiss from you to me,
Always seems so new to me,
Each one warmer than the one before,
As I love you more and more and more,
LYRICS - Kiss Me Honey Honey:
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
I'd like to play a little game with you
A little game especially made for two
If you come close then I will show you how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
SECOND VERSE:
We've never played this little game before
If you relax then you'll enjoy it more
Just settle down and let me teach you how
Closer, closer, now
THIRD VERSE:
You kiss so well my lips begin to burn
And I can tell I've got a lot to learn
So hold me close and darling show me how
Closer, closer, now
LYRICS - I Am What I Am:
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It'?s one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

This is what today's music is missing.

[@sas9023055]

You are right on! Unfortunately, electronic devices that are available now make it much easier for a youngster to barely pass as a vocalist, and then with a great jingle, he/she becomes the newest sensation. They don't have to practice grueling vocal exercises to keep their voices fit, but they do have to practice dance moves which distracts the viewer from realizing the person performing has a pity poor voice. It's too bad, but entertainers like Dame Shirley are a lost art.

[@Kuklapolitan]

My GOD! I am so lucky to have been born when I was. WE had the best music from every genre one can imagine...we had it all. I was lucky enough to be there when she opened the Marquis theater in Manhattan and what a night it was. What a powerhouse, what a voice, what a presence. Shirley Bassey was, is and always will be nothing less than astonishing!

[@cottingleybaby]

Pure class, perhaps the greatest female singer the UK has ever produced .

[@shoepmr]

The Greatest singer ...period💕💕❤️

[@TheNawlinzNative]

never understood why this legend never got a one woman show on b'way to tell excerpts of her story & blasts us with that voice. a legend of unparralled talent.

[@patrickandrew2785]

Maybe foreign bias

[@lisastallingskeelor3328]

How in the world does this woman remain timelessly flawlessly stunning!? She’s just envy making. Love her!

[@wellingtonmiddleton3739]

Couldn't agree with you more, Lisa.

[@joseerana2032]

Shirley Bassey looks, and sounds, terrific especially in this video. Bravo! [February 2021]

[@lennybadar9248]

she is one in a million she will never be matched

[@lastrada52]

Shirley Bassey is truly great Lenny, I agree -- but the late Timi Yuro's contralto range has often been compared to Shirley's timbre & power -- accurately so. Yuro was always incredible. Timi opened for Frank Sinatra many times & Elvis Presley often attended her Vegas concerts. She was famous for the hit "Hurt," but she was most impressive during a 1980s Dutch TV show. A stunning performance of "You'll Never Walk Alone." (on KZbin). She was often compared with affection to Shirley Bassey and by Bassey fans themselves. Some even mentioned a possible duet. But that's too late now. She sang & recorded duets with Willie Nelson (who also produced her) & Johnny Ray. If you like Shirley -- and I do -- you could appreciate Timi Yuro. They were both about the same age, both were compelling & had power. Timi passed away in 2004.

[@lastrada52]

@gary morris - Typical reaction from a closed ignorant mind.

[@paulbloom8847]

INCOMPARABLE. A true wonderful artist out there in her own.❤️

[@738polarbear]

her voice is as wonderful as ever . funny thing though ,she got better looking with age until she becane LOVELY.Hard to believe that powerhouse of a voice is 68 years old here . Did I say she is lovely?

[@Smartychase]

738polarbear yep I think you did

[@josevinagre4843]

Will never get tired of listening to this Great Lady. Her voice will live for ever. Thanks Shirley

[@om92555]

She is a great performer.

[@rogerhonore]

I agree !

[@potdog1000]

same here

[@celluloidal2896]

Pure class! She looks gorgeous too.

[@damothepianist]

I have been a fan since the 1970s and am always mesmorised by every performance. I mean, just observe here. The sheer beauty in and out of this legend, the interpretation, the control, the power, how she draws you in. The sparkle in her eye. The technique. I am also a fan of opera singers too - massively. And when i rarely go to any soprano in concert, it is a very very special moment. If anyone makes a noise when i am concentrating on the singer - because we are being offered small doses of concentrated exquisiteness - woe betide anyone who coughs or rustles a sweet/candy wrapper! And it is the same with DSB. I am spellbound here. It's truly truly incredible. Watch her mouth/jaw/tongue position at the end of the first song. Always blown away.

[@enrico.3944]

Concordo

[@philipcarthy2977]

The tiger bay tigress, what can you say about this lady, she is just sensational, the most recognisable and powerful voice .I grew up listening to legends like shirley, elvis, Tom Jones, engelbert sinatra Davis jnr and the wonderful dean Martin among so many others,it was a golden era when an artiste sang passionately to their audience, I was captivated.

[@janelliot121]

Omg dame shirley was 68 here rely remarkable le and beautiful woman

[@johntirado-glover3574]

Legend. Iconic.

[@bertharuiz1225]

Such a fantastic singer along with her good looks!

[@liamkennedy2150]

I can NEVER get enough of DSB. The first concert I attended was at the Kelvin Hall Arena, Glasgow, circa 1976. I have followed her ever since. In this Pandemic, I have found myself getting pissed more regularly than normal and turning to Shirley for emotional release. The tears have flowed. Sadly we shall never see her live on stage again (in a concert scenario) as her aging dictates that it is not possible, or indeed welcome by herself. Suffice to say, Thank you Shirley. My life would have been worse without you!

[@TWINS10984]
