There's a light, A certain kind of light That never shined on me I want my life to be To live with you, to live with you There's a way everybody says To do each and every little thing But what is 'Everything' If I ain't got you, ain't got you, baby You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like, baby baby You don't know what it's like To love somebody, To love somebody The way I love you In my brain, I see your face again You know my frame of mind You ain't got to be so blind And I'm blind, so very very blind, baby You don't know what it's like, baby You don't know what it's like To love somebody, To love somebody The way I love you You don't know what it's like, baby baby You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like, baby You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like

You came into my life, you took me off the shelf You told my name to me and taught me what to do But then you went away and left me by myself, Now, I'm completely lost and lonely without you Why'd you go, baby? I guess you know, I've got to learn to live without you I've got to learn to live without you I've got to learn to live without you, without you Today I thought I saw you walkin' down the street With someone else, I turned my head and faced the wall You started cryin' and your heart fell to your feet But you looked again, it wasn't me at all Why'd you go, baby? I guess you know, I've got to learn to live without you I've got to learn to live without you I've got to learn to live without you, without you It's just no good without you, without you It's just no good without you, without you

When I was just a little boy I asked my mother, "What will I be? Will I Be Handsome? Will I Be Rich?" This is what she said to me Que... Hey Sera, Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera, what will be, will be Yeah, Yeah When I was just a child in school I asked my teacher, "What should I try? Should I paint a picture or sing out a song?" This was her wise reply Que... Hey Sera, Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera, what will be, will be Que sera, Que sera Whoo Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah Whoa When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead? Will we have rainbows day after day?" This is what my lover said Que... Hey Sera, Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera, what will be, will be What will my future bring? Que sera, Que sera Que sera, Que sera Que sera, ah Que sera, Que sera Que sera, ah

There's a time for love and a time for healing You can't go back and undo what's been done Word of mouth, time is revealing Just how far we've let this kingdom come Hand in hand we're finding our way And today is just tomorrow's yesterday Some would die for you, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah Turn the world around, tear the borders down There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah A kiss of life in the hand of fate A boy grows up into his father's son And he learns to love, been taught to hate To carry on the way it has been done All our lives, it's debts to repay Maybe someday we can put the past away Some would die for you, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah Turn the world around, tear the borders down There's all kinds of people in this world All kinds of people in this world Some would die for you, yeah, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah Put your fear away find a better way There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah Yeah, underneath a broken sky Love will heal the pain inside In a moment things can change One look behind and it's never the same Some would die for you, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world, yeah Turn the world around, tear the borders down There's all kinds of people in this world All kinds of people in this world Some would die for you, yeah, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world People in this world Put your fear away find a better way There's all kinds of people in this world All kinds of people in this world Some would die for you, yeah, some will lie to you There's all kinds of people in this world

about

Robbie and Cherrill met in England when Cherrill was performing on Robbie's TV show, and were engaged soon afterward. Since their solo careers in the U.K. kept them apart for too long, Robbie and Cherrill moved to Canada, where they began to perform and record as a duo called The Raes. They scored their first hit in Canada with a disco-styled remake of Doris Day's "Que Sera Sera" in 1977 and followed it up with their self-titled debut album, The Raes, the following year. The duo were nominated for two Juno Awards and hosted their own network variety show called The Raes on CBC for two hit seasons (1978–80), but turned down a five-year contract to continue for fear it might negatively impact their record sales.
