In attendance for Whitney Houston’s funeral tomorrow in Newark will be ex-husband Bobby Brown, actor Denzel Washington, and Bodyguard co-star Kevin Costner. Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder are scheduled to perform a few numbers in her honor as well.
The Newark Police Department will shut down an area of 6 square blocks surrounding the church to keep those without invitations at bay.
I don’t wanna make a scene. I don’t wanna let
you down
Tryin’ to do my own thing, and I’m starting to
figure
it out
That it’s alright keep it together where ever we
go
And it’s alright oh well whatever
Everybody needs to know
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately
That I love you
You’re the only reason that I’m not afraid to fly
And it’s crazy
That someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do
I’m not afraid to try
And you need to know that you’re the reason,
why!
I don’t even care when they say you’re a little
bit off
Look them in the eye I’d say I could never get
enough
Cuz it’s alright keep it together where ever we
go
And it’s alright oh well whatever
Everybody needs to know
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately
That I love you,
You’re the only reason that I’m not afraid to
fly,
And it’s crazy
That someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do
I’m not afraid to try
And you need to know that you’re the reason,
why!
If it was rainin’ you would yell at the sun
Pick up the pieces when the damage is done
You say it’s just another day in the shade
Look at what a mess we made
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately
That I love you
You’re the only reason that I’m not afraid to fly
And it’s crazy
That some one would change me
Doesnt matter what it is I have to do I’m not afraid to try
And you need to know that your the reason,
Why!
You might be crazy
Have I told you lately
That I love you
You’re the only reason that I’m not afraid to fly
And it’s crazy
That someone could change me
Now no matter what it is I have to do
I’m not afraid to try
And you need to know that you’re the reason
why…
As you may know it haves been 53 years sense the February 3,1959, the plane had The Big Bopper,Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. One song that was made everyone cry about the plane crash is “American Pie,” by Don McLean. here are the lyrics:
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
**The day the music died**
So
[Chorus]
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin’
[Chorus]
Now, for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that’s not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin’
[Chorus]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin’
[Chorus]
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan’s spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin’
[Chorus]
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most-
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing

He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk and she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she’d never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a sk8er boi, she said, “See you later, boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to Earth
Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby, she’s all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
Sk8er boi rockin’ up MTV
She calls up her friends, they already know
And they’ve all got tickets to see his show
She tags along and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a sk8er boi, she said, “See you later, boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
Now he’s a super star, slammin’ on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he’s worth?
He was a sk8er boi, she said, “See you later, boy”
He wasn’t good enough for her
Now he’s a super star, slammin’ on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he’s worth?
Sorry, girl but you missed out
Well, tough luck that boy’s mine, now
We are more than just good friends
And this is how the story ends
Too bad that she couldn’t see
See the man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He’s just a boy and I’m just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
We are in love, haven’t you heard?
How we rock each other’s world
I’m with the sk8er boi, I said, “See you later, boy
I’ll be back stage after the show
I’ll be at a studio singing that song we wrote
About a girl you used to know”
I’m with the sk8er boi, I said, “See you later, boy
I’ll be back stage after the show
I’ll be at a studio singing that song we wrote
About a girl you used to know”

Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
Would you swear
That you’ll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don’t care…
You’re here tonight.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don’t care…
You’re here tonight.
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by your forever.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.
I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I’d of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah..
And you’re always in my heart,
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much,
You’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
Ooooh…
And you’re always in my heart,
You’re always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much,
you’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
Ooooh…
Only you can love me this way.
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
Gave me you
There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you.
