Say You Say Me Sheet Music Lionel Richie

Say You Say Me

Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it for always. That’s the way it should be.
Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it together, naturally.

I had a dream,
I had an awesome dream:
People in the park
Playing games in the dark.
And what they played
Was a masquerade.
From behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out,

Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it for always. That’s the way it should be.
Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it together, naturally.

As we go down
Life’s lonesome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do
Is to find a friend or two.
That helping hand,
Someone who understands
That when you feel you lost your way
You’ve got someone there to say.
I’ll show you.

Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it for always. Oh, that’s the way it should be.
Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it together, naturally.

So, you think you know the answers.
Oh, no.
Well, the whole world’s got you dancing.
That’s right. I’m telling you.
It’s time to start believing.
Oh, yes.
Believing who you are.
You are a shining star.

Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it for always. Oh, that’s the way it should be.
Say “you”, say “me”,
Say it together, naturally.

Say it together, naturally.

“Say You, Say Me” is a song written and recorded by Lionel Richie for the film White Nights, starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. The single hit number 1 in the US and on the R&B singles chart in December 1985. It became Richie’s ninth number-one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The track is not available on the film’s soundtrack album, as Motown did not want Richie’s first single following the massive success of his 1983 album Can’t Slow Down to appear on another label. It was included by Motown on Richie’s 1986 release Dancing on the Ceiling.

The track won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. A music video was made for the song that featured inserted clips from White Nights.

In 2008, the song was ranked at #74 of the top songs of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, commemorating the first 50 years of the chart.

The single was hugely successful in South Africa, attaining the No. 1 spot on the weekly charts and remaining thereon for a total of 30 weeks. It eventually became the No. 1 single of 1986 on that country’s year-end Springbok charts, proving that, even in the midst of Apartheid, music transcended all racial lines.
