Main street U.S.A boarded up and dry
Knowing what once was here just makes me want to cry Used to be the favorite place, yeah Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast All that remains today are echoes from the past Used to be a booming town, yeah Now all that's left is either broken up or broken down Chorus: Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh Where we used to belong There ain't nobody home Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh You can knock all you want But, ain't nobody home Packed up, moved away, running from the past Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass Used to be a busy town, yeah Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around (Repeat Chorus) Oh, was a newsstand on the corner Right next to the barber shop And down the street there That's where all the kids would stop And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog And laugh and run away And now there's no one left Who knows the truth in what you say Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around (Repeat Chorus) Oh, oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh Where we used to belong There ain't nobody home Talk all you want But, ain't nobody home Knock all you want But, ain't nobody home |

When every moment gets too hard
The end of the road can feel so far No matter how much time we're apart I'm always near you I'll be the shelter in your rain, Help you to find your smile again I'll make you laugh at a broken heart Wherever you are Chorus 'Cause I'm never gonna walk away If the walls come down someday All alone,and you feel afraid I'll be there when you call my name You can always depend on me I believe until forever ends I will be your friend So many people come and go But nothing will change the you I know You'll never be just a face in the crowd And time will show Chorus Through the seasons and the years I will always hold you dear Never you fear Chorus I'll be around when the candle burns down low And I want you and I want you to know Chorus |

Why do lovers drift apart
And how does love fade away When do pieces of a broken heart mend again You've been crying in the dark And you've been feeling alone Don't be scared of what you'll find When you turn the light on Chorus: Ain't nobody gonna say goodbye No, ain't nobody gonna walk away This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you Ain't nobody gonna make you cry No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you Like I love you What sad memory of yesterday What terrible scar Keeps you gathering the pieces of Your shattered heart There was once upon a time When hope was living within I know there will come a time When you can believe again (Repeat Chorus) How long have you been feeling lonely How long have you been feeling sad and blue This time, baby, I'm learning how to love you, love you Ain't nobody gonna make you cry No, ain't nobody ever really tried to love you Like I love you This time, baby, I've been learning how to love you, love you Let me love you Like I love you |

CHORUS:
It takes a little time sometimes To get your feet back on the ground It takes a little time sometimes To get the Titanic turned back around It takes a little time sometimes But baby you're not going down It takes more than you've got right now Give it time What's this walking thru' my door I know I've seen the look before Sometimes in faces on the street Sometimes in the mirror looking back at me You can't fix this pain with money You can't rush a weary soul You can't sweep it under the rug, now honey It don't take a lot to know CHORUS Now it may not be over by morning But Rome wasn't built in a day You can name that thing a thousand times But it won't make it go away Let me put my arms around you And hold you while you weep We've been talking and you know what I'm sick of this talk And it's nothing that won't keep CHORUS |

Who knew love would come walking thru my door
Turn a light on somewhere down inside Give me a feeling I'd never had before It was a long wait It was just the wrong time But I hope you'll hold me now Somewhere within And when you think about What might have been Chorus: Cry a river Flood the sea Cry a river over me Take the bitter With the sweet And cry a river over me And how do you argue with a feeling in your bones 'Bout what is and what isn't meant to be Some things you live with And you never let it show Like the pain I felt The day I watched you leave But I hope you'll think of me When tender winds blow Sit on the shores of love And just let it go (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge) (Repeat Chorus Twice |

We are all the same it seems
Behind the eyes Broken promises and dreams In good disguise All we're really looking for is somewhere Safe and warm The shelter of each other in the storm Chorus: Maybe one day We can turn and face our fears Maybe one day We can reach out through the tears After all it's really not that far To where hope can be found Maybe one day We can turn this world around Who can trace the path of time Not you or me The twisting road we call our lives We cannot see The hunger and the longing everyone of us Knows inside Could be the bridge between us if we try (Repeat Chorus) After all it's really not that far to where hope can be found Chorus: Maybe one day We can turn and face our fears Maybe one day There'll be laughter in our tears After all it's really not that far To where hope can be found Maybe one day We can turn this world around We can turn this world around Maybe we can, one day, turn this world around Oh, let's turn this old world around |

There was this guy,
he was down on his luck He was truly poverty's child Well, he had no home and he had no car And he wore a weary smile Moved out to l.a., knocked around for awhile But he was getting nowhere Then he did this movie and it did really well Now he's a millionaire See, life is a curious thing Life, ooh life is a curious thing I know a man who could paint the town red Had a college degree in fun 'till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said "this little boy is your son" Gave him a suitcase and a bear Left 'em in a cloud of dust Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools Learning to adjust He says life is a curious thing Life, ooh life is a curious thing Well, I know that it can be demanding I know that it can be unkind I don't really understand it But lord sure knows I try Life is a curious thing Life, ooh life is a curious thing Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew A pudgy girl back in school She had greasy hair and geeky glasses Object of ridicule The other day in the check out line They were ringing up my rice and beans There she was, a pretty little face On the cover of a magazine And I said life is a curious thing Life, ooh life is a curious thing (chorus) Just goes to show that you never know Just what tomorrow may bring But I'll tell you this that what it is Is seldom what it seems 'cause life is a curious thing Life, ooh life is a curious thing. . . |

There you go making mountains
Out of such a little hill Here I go mixing mortar For another wall to build There's a struggle in this life we lead It's partly you It's partly me (but) Every road that's traveled Teaches something new Every road that's narrow pushes us to choose And I'd be lying if I said I had not tried to leave a time or two But every road that leads me Leads me back to you Here we stand in the middle Of what we've come to know It's a dance, it's a balance Holding on and letting go But there is nothing that we can't resolve When love's at stake When love's involved |

I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said then I thought some more You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone And all you want is just a taste of the unknown Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone You say you need a change, I recognize the tone Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind Maybe a change would ease your mind For a time, leave it all behind What I really want to do is see you smile Hear you talk and let me listen for a while There's too much going on to keep it all inside You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout What you need is just a place to let it out (Chorus) You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout What you need is just a place to let it out (Final Chorus) |

Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark It warms me through and through And I guess that I had dreamed We would never be apart But that dream did not come true And missing you is just a part of living Missing you feels like a way of life I'm living out the life that I've been given But baby I still wish you were mine And I cannot hear the telephone Jangle on the wall And not feel a hopeful thrill And I cannot help but smile At any news of you at all And I guess I always will Cause missing you is just a part of living And missing you feels like a way of life I'm living out the life that I've been given But baby I still wish you were mine Missing you is just a part of living And missing you feels like a way of life I'm living out the life I've been given But baby I still wish you were mine I'm living out the life that I've been given But baby I still wish you were mine |

I cannot take the heat
This girl's going home Standing on my own two feet Standing alone I'm just a little weary of All the talk and all the buzz And all I ever wanted was The feeling I had with us I cannot take the heat I guess I'm letting go I'm tired of stitching up my dreams with This thread of hope I'm still a believer of Twin hearts and timeless love And all I ever wanted was The feeling I had with us All I ever wanted was The feeling I had with us The road of life is rugged Any road you choose And when I find the other side I'll look for you But I cannot take the heat And so I'll say goodbye A million things I never said Didn't even try 'Cause words are cheap and sometimes cruel And stuff you hear is seldom true And all I ever wanted was The feeling I had with you Yeah, all I ever wanted was, The feeling I had with you |

So much pain and no good reason why
You've cried until the tears run dry And nothing else can make you understand The one thing that you held so dear Is slipping from your hand And you say Why, why, why Does it go this way Why, why, why And all I can say Somewhere down the road There'll be answers to the questions Somewhere down the road Tho' we cannot see it now And somewhere down the road You will find mighty arms reaching for you And they will hold the answers at the end of the road Yesterday I thought I'd seen it all I thought I'd climbed the highest wall Now I see the learning never ends And all I know to do is keep on walking Walking 'round the bend singing Why, why, why Does it go this way Why, why, why And all I can saySomewhere down the road There'll be answers to the questions Somewhere down the road Tho' we cannot see it now And somewhere down the road You will find mighty arms reaching for you And they will hold the answers at the end of the road |
