Jordin Sparks sang “If We Hold On Together” last week on American Idol, and then last night she sang “I Who Have Nothing.”  Both wonderful and beautiful songs, and Jordin did a splendid job with both.  Here are the lyrics:

If We Hold On Together

Don’t lose your way
With each passing day
You’ve come so far
Don’t throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We’ll dream about the sun
In the dark we’ll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

~words and music by James Horner and Will Jennings~

I (Who Have Nothing)

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I’m just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

You, you  buys her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That she can give you the world,
But she’ll never love you the way
I Love You

You can take her anyplace she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it’s I
Who Loves you

I Love You
I Love You
I Love You  

~Lyrics by Shirley Bassey~

    On Jordin Sparks singing “I, Who Have Nothing”.
    grin Wonderful Performance! If Simon said if he felt like “jumping off a bridge”, after hearing the song performed (although “beautifully”) that means it “moved” him. Thats what a good singer does, conveys emotion through words. If you feel different after hearing a performance, whether it be goose bumps, chills, tears, or you just plain can’t forget it, then the singer has done the job.
    I cannot believe the maturity, the grace, the range and emotion that this young lady expresses through her performances. I predict great things ahead for her. grin mrgreen

    Everyone Jordin is young and talented. Make your vote because beat boxing on each song is not going to make it far. Lets make her the WINNER LIKE SHE DESERVES IT. Melinda is the bomb I wait to hear her CD I know she is an idol already. If she don’t win I will not watch American Idol no more because it is ALL B.S….LATER AND DON’T FORGET TO VOTE YOUR VOTE IS WHAT COUNTS FOR JORDIN SPARKS! THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL….

    i THINK MELINDA HAS THE MOST TALENT VOCALWISE BUT DOES NOT HAVE A GREAT PHYSICAL STAGE PRESENCE, JORDIN SPARKS IS ALSO A GREAT VOCALIST AND VERY MATURE FOR HER AGE. SHE NEEDS TO LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT AND SHE WILL GO FURTHER THAN THE AMERICAN IDOLS BEFORE HER SHE IS A BEAUTY !

  8. Heath Says:
