Oasis Lyrics

in the morning, when i see the sun
i think about you
february, cold and cloudy days, here without you
ooohh-ooohh
i know it wont be long
till your here with me
waitin with anticipation
lately
seems i hear your voice in the distance
comin closer, dark and rainy skies disappearing

ooohh-ooohh
let me hold you close
i know what u need
give you all my love and affection
oohh
now i'm layin next to you
we share our hearts beneath the desert moon
now my love you'll never lose
now my oasis here in you

baby
the world is far away, when we're together
in my oasis, kiss my tears away, and we remember (now remember)

oohhh-ooohh
let me hold you close (hold you close)
i know what you need (what you need)
give you all my love and affection
oohh
now i'm layin next to you
we share our hearts beneath desert moons
and my love you'll never lose
now my oasis here in you

(say you'll never leave) say you'll never leave
(oasis, oasis) oh no
all that i need, is to keep you here with me
(need, need, need, need, ooohhh)
ooohhhhhh

instrumental solo

(when we're together)
world is far away
(no stormy weather)
no more cloudy days, no no
(found my oasis)
in your lovin arms
(i'll leave you never)
never leave you

ooohh-ooohh
let me hold you close (hold you close)
i know what you need (what you need)
give you all my love and affection
oohh
when i'm layin next to you
we share out hearts beneath desert moons
and my love you'll never lose
now my oasis here in you

now i'm layin next to you
we share out hearts beneath desert moons
now my love you'll never lose
now my oasis here in you

ooh oohh, ooh oohh, oooohhhh
ooh oohh ooh oohh, oooohhhh

another instrumental solo and mostly ad libs till the end

Roberta Flack (born Roberta Cleopatra Flack on 10th February 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina) is an American singer and musician. She is best known for her classic #1 singles "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Killing Me Softly with His Song" and "Feel Like Makin' Love", and for "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You", two of her many duets with Donny Hathaway.

Flack was the first, and remains the only, solo artist to win the Grammy Award for Record of the Year on two consecutive years: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" won at the 1973 Grammys as did "Killing Me Softly with His Song" at the 1974 Grammys.

Flack performs in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk, and is best known for singles such as "Killing Me Softly with His Song", which won the 1974 Grammy for Record of the Year, and "Where Is the Love", which was one of her many duets with Donny Hathaway.

Flack began her professional career recording for Atlantic Records without much success, until one of her earliest recordings, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1969), was included on the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's directorial debut Play Misty for Me; it became a number-one hit in 1972.
