Far away from the life so young That's when you used to know Many dreams since then you've had have come and gone The time might show But stress, don't you let in, don't you forget it Trust you'll find your way love Hope is what your heart is made of
And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world
You're world's apart from first where life would start Understanding what it means to have gone Nothing but your heavy broken heart Memories of what used to be With change comes responsiblity Don't forget where you are and where you've been Life's lessons then made you into woman
And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world
Don't you be afraid cuz a heartbeat away It's all that and everything That send men and women to you Don't need to cry, you can dry your eyes Cuz you can count on the love that through the years Captured fears you'll face, can subside your tears Everything will be ok, don't you be afraid No no no no, la la la, la la la Don't you be afraid, no baby
And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world And don't you forget it Don't you forget your way home For that little girl Hold on to your world
1ST VERSE I was thinking you and me Could start again, fulfil a dream Read that somewhere we would find A paradise Walls of change have clearly fell Showing loves cry out for help But if you only try with me You'd see that we
BRIDGE Should be trying to find a cause For our own flaws But know that just to be WIth you In a love that's truly free That could be you and me
CHORUS And it'd be something to see 'cause you know we're too far gone To ever be The same way we've been so long It'd be something to see We can make it if we hold on The way it should be With love leading us along
2ND VERSE A love so beautiful to me Now's the chance for all to see All you need is to believe Love's the key With peace between us, you and me Then a crystal city's where we Could be Then there'd be no mystery Just to be free
BRIDGE Only tryin to find a cause For our own flaws But know that just to be With you And in love is all that was And should ever be because
Baby how ya been I been doing fine Been taking my time to get myself on track Why youd never call you used to have my back Whenever I fall you we're always there for me Now youre not at all so it's been awhile Was trying to figure out when it's my turn to smile I think that time has come be careful what you say If its game you want then you know I came to play
(Chorus) Dont think too bad of me Its just so sad to see You used to be proud of me Now your gonna be lonely Without me as your friend Goes around it'll come back again When I was your only Now your gonna be lonely Now youre alone Now your gonna be lonely Now youre alone Now that I have gone
Now you say what's up because you know the deal What you think I feel when I lay down at night Because I don't have you, you think I'm not all right I say this for myself I dont need nobody else Before it's too late said you better think twice Love or you can hate me all that you like
(Chorus) Dont you think too bad of me It is just so sad to see You used to be so proud of me Now your gonna be lonely Now youre alone Now your gonna be lonely Now youre alone Now your gonna be lonely Now youre alone Now that I am back
Now that I am back That Im back You gonna be you gonna be lonely You gonna be lonely Take it from me What you did to me, gonna be lonely Yeah yeah yeah now that,now that Im back You gonna be You gonna be lonely
I have cried all night Trying to make it better I recognize my pain Things are getting harder For us to be in this love And my tears wash away my smile And Im drowning in my sorrow Theres no hope for today I cant see my tomorrow Cause we are no longer in love
This love, your love, my love It use to be our love This love, your love, my love It use to be our love, love, love
Ive been blazed all day Dreading confrontations Ive waited until now For this conversation to take place That were wasting time With this love Im trying to be nice Dont want you to be a hater Weve had a beautiful son So we gotta be one Sooner or later Cause weve got so much more than this love
This love, your love, my love It use to be our love This love, your love, my love It use to be our love, love, love
Can we still be, can we still be friends It will all end in tears if we decide To leave but stay, Im so confused, I Cant go on this way, I just cant go on, on this way
This love, your love, my love It use to be our love This love, you love, our love It use to be our love, love, love
I told her Deeper than the deepest ocean Vast as the universe High like any mountain top Put your world in reverse Ain't nothing in these words rehearsed So maybe we can make a first Let me begin with a simple phrase I'm a sinner For lovin' you the way I do Life's been peaks & valleys With winds of change Still love you all the same I never believed that love Could be for me Now I see Clearly you were meant for me And now I know the truth Is to be with you 'Cause I know your love Will always be there So maybe if you give me Maybe just one more day Find it in your heart to stay And maybe make it better Maybe we can make it right Maybe if you hold on And if you hold on Maybe just one more day Find it in your heart to stay And maybe make it better Maybe we can make it right Maybe if you hold on Find out how deep this love can go Cause there ain't no Guarantee You leave or stay with me That anyways the right way But surely we gon' make today Understood, if you would I'll be good Cause knowing at times You couldn't stand it You couldn't stand it Feeling taken for granted But I'm here to tell you, baby I ain't going nowhere I'ma be right here Best believe If love is all you need Ooo, wee, baby, Thick like gravy Ups or downs Highs or lows Where we'll stop Only love knows It ain't gonna be this way We can work it out if we take our time Maybe just one more day
Look at you now you really haven't change Still as beautiful as first day we met But something's different doesn't seem so long ago Amazing how the years can go When we wanted different things You wanted a family I was chasing my dream I didn't know what I had back then How could I go off through the growing pains of being a man? I really didn't understand I took you for granted Now it's out of my hands Now I wish I had it too do all over again
(Chorus) Cause all I do is dream about the times we had together We used to think that day would last forever But who've thought it be my fault we didn't make it And when I'm missing you so much that I can't take it I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes and dream (dream)
Don't know what I have thought I really figured out Looking back had a clue what it was all about I try to explain what I was feeling but when I couldn't get through I would just turn around and get mad at you Frustrated not knowing the reasons for the things I do Couldn't see just why you and I would fall apart Humble by drift and heart But now I can clearly see how things ended up because of me If this is how it's supposed to be then I'll just
(Chorus) Dream about the times we had together We used to think that day would last forever But who've thought it be me fault we didn't make it And when I'm missing you so much that I can't take it I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes and dream (dream)
Looking back on yesterday how we was so deeply in love Wishing it could be that way again But even if it cant be And we we're made just friends All I have too do is dream
(Chorus) 2x Dream about the times we had together We used to think that day would last forever But who've thought it be my fault we didn't make it And when I'm missing you so much that I can't take it I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes and dream
This is a story 'bout a day that came Not long ago About this girl I met Her name's Yvette That you might know This girl was bad She left me sad Not knowing what to do She was all wrong for me No matter what had to be free but She made it sem Like she wanted to be with me Playin' tricks on me Tell me
CHORUS Is it ture The things people that people say you do My man said he hit it too You only like me for what I can do You're not feelin' me like I'm feelin' you
Even though I try I can't deny Way she look making me weak But word is she's a freak Things I heard man, I could hardly speak They say Don't believe everything you hear So what's the deal my dear I gotta know, the way to go On how to deal with this right here
CHORUS
Caught up witcha Never pictured Things'd ever ended up this way With the games you play, no Had me believing Only scheming in the end was Just to get your way Still I need to hear you say
Its never too late Dont wait fore we lose it all (Hoo...hoo...ooh...ooh...) Its never too late (Yeah) Dont wait fore we lose it all (Oh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Yesterday dont seem so far away Used to just kick it, you and me, how in love we used to be Still remember how it was holdin your hand Makin future plans
So happy were we that things are changin over the time Sadly we drifted away with hopes that youd come back someday Wed stay cool, me and you, talk on the phone once in awhile now and again Found yourself a new friend, thinkin this might be the end
Its never too late (Its never) Dont wait (Yeah) fore we lose it all (Youre my love, the only one Im thinkin of) Its never too late Dont wait fore we lose it all (Oh, dont think twice and let this love pass you by)
Its never too late (Ah...) Dont wait fore we lose it all (My missin part, baby, finish what you started) Its never too late (Never) Dont wait fore we lose it all (And any chance to be, dont take that away from me, no)
Girl, youve become a part of me and I cant see how I could ever be Without you next to me or you part of my life completely You are precious to me by far, you have my heart You are my star, my shinin star, the biggest love, thats for sure
Girl, its plain to see what you mean to me Still in love with you, want you to be my Boo What we gon have to do
Its never too late Dont wait fore we lose it all (Youre my love, the only one Im thinkin of) Its never too late (Its never, never) Dont wait fore we lose it all (Oh, dont think twice and let this love pass you by)
Its never too late (Never, never too late, baby) Dont wait fore we lose it all (My missin part, baby, finish what you started) Its never too late (Its never) Dont wait (Yeah, yeah) fore we lose it all (And any chance to be, dont take that away from me, oh, baby, listen)

it was in November, while out one night with friends, that i saw her there, she was just standing there, something in her distant stare, a faint look of despair, to her i was drawn, asked her was anything wrong, i told her my name, said how you do, bouts to say you take care, it was nice to meet you, then she stopped me desperately, as if to say dont go, but then she said to me,
anywhere, you wanna go, just take me, take me, (repeat)
(music plays) verse two:
not knowing what to say, but i could see, she was going thru some things, and needed someone to be, there to listen, probably wishing she was someone else, and in my heart felt bad and i just knew i had, cause i'd want the same myself so we got into it, and while she talked i thought to myself, how could it be, that she'd have no one, not even a friend to come, and she'd have to turn to me and say...
chorus)
(Music plays)
verse three:
seeking the wrong kind of attention, always in abusive situations, and dont know how she got it good, was starting to sound like it could be, the reason for misery, slowly i could see, she had problems nothing i or anyone could say or do, would help what she was going thru, then suddenly, she stood up across from me, screaming out SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! realizing she was gone, wishing i'd mind my own saying:
2nd chorus) take me an-nywhere but here, she's crazy, crazy (repeat)
Lookin at the mess i made If i paid attention, maybe then you might have stayed Deserted you, in the middle of the night worked to many times and askin why(askin why) Where did all the promises go Of love you had, not like you dont hear me though That's what she said to me I treated it like it was all something momentary
Now shes leaving from me being reflecting off her heart How i regret it now and i dont know how i let it get this bad but now i wish i had the chance to tell you my baby
I'm sorry(sorry), I'm so sorry i didnt mean to make you cry why oh why I wish that i had the chance before you had said bye bye I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didnt mean to make you cry why oh why wish that i had the chance before you had said bye bye
You had first left out blamed it on everything but myself girlfriends talking of someone else Present a picture doin all im suppoused to do gettin close to you woke up from my sleep cause i couldnt breathe from my heartbeat I get so weak If only my tears could speak You'd say, it was such a mistake still i love you babe, hey babe
Now shes leaving from me being reflecting off her heart How i regret it now and i dont know how i let it get this bad but now i wish i had the chance to tell you my baby
I'm sorry(sorry), I'm so sorry i didnt mean to make you cry why oh why I wish that i had the chance just before you said bye bye I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didnt mean to make you cry why oh why wish that i had the chance before you had said bye bye
Tell me what im suppoused to do(hey hmm) Now that you left me this way(hey hey) Friends tell you what me talkin bout Your the one i cant do without Now what am i suppoused to do I lie there so helplessly with her away Tell me if you would ever have that feeling Like life itself just aint have no meaning
I'm sorry(hey), I'm so sorry(sorry) i didnt mean to make you cry(make you cry) why oh why(why oh why) I wish that i had the chance before you had said bye bye(wish that i had the chance before you had said byebye) I'm sorry, I'm so sorry(oo yeah) I didnt mean to make you cry(didnt mean to make you cry) why oh why(baby) wish that i had the chance before you had said bye bye(so sorry, so sorry) Sooo,(mm's ahh's so's and hey's) So sorry, sorry, yeah
1st verse : Girl I want you Right where you are Just hold it there don't move My shining star You must not know Exactly what you mean to me So deeply, completely, you got me And I'm needing your love
Chorus : If you're feeling lonely And you need someone to love you babe You can always trust me 'Cause babe I can take you high And whenever you need me Girl I could be just you & I 'Cause girl you are so lovely So baby can I take you high (3x)
2nd verse : I've been meaning to tell you goodbye But I can't seem to let you go Girl I thought it was just a fling Now what we have is so beautiful We've been keeping it on the low And now I don't care if anybody knows That I love you, so deeply, completely I gotta tell you so
Chorus
Break : So lover, your love You've inspired my heart When you kiss me I blush Feels like I'm in heaven when we touch 'Cause you are solovely
Verse 1: Wear a disguise I see it in your eyes Afraid to give once a heart willing to try The love you had found Again would let you down Locked away now a heart longing a die
Bridge: So unsure and feeling insecure Your heart just can't endure To rise above and fly And set you free, to bring you back to me The promise that you'll be keeper to my, my heart
Chorus: Now on we go To where no one knows But I know, that I love you even more Tears we cry Asking myself why Did I let the only one that I love go You were meant for me Darling can't you see This is your song
Verse 2: Now where you are Forever seems so far Feels like I could never love again Wishing you were here to take away my fears Life without you's a pain I couldn't bare
Bridge: So afraid, you'd hurt if I had stayed Despite all you had gave I held it all inside Gave your all, but soon I'd let you fall Not meaning to at all I realized, can't deny
Repeat Chorus
Follow me I'll show you the way To a brighter day Upon the wings Of our love
