Michael Bolton

Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemos?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeux vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemos?
Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring ?
On my brow I sense your most gentle caress,
Yet how soon creeps on time
Filled with tempests and with distress!
Tomorrow through the vale, the traveler will pass,
Recalling all of the glory of the past.
And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth,
And nothing will he find but deep pain and endless sorrow.
Alas! Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring?!

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua freda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore
E di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiusoin me,
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
Che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!
No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess
Perhaps in your cold chambers,
Watch all the bright stars
That tremble both with loving
And with desire.
I keep my secret locked inside,
No one shall ever know my name!
NO, no! When our two mouths
Touch, she'll learn it,
When the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
Her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end! May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!

Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu ceracando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.
One Tear That Falls So FurtivelyOne tear that falls so furtively
from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths
who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.One moment just to hear her heart,
beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers,
her sighings as if they were mine!
Heavens, please take me now:
All that I wanted is mine now!

M'appari tutt' amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si che il mio cor,
ansioso a lei volo;
mi feri, m'invaghi
quell' angelica belta,
sculta in cor dall'amor
cancellarsi non potra:
il pensier di poter
palpitar con lei d'amor,
puo sopir il martir
che m'affana e stranzia il cor.
M'appari tutt'amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si cheil mio cor
ansioso a lei volo;
Marta, Marta tu sparisti
e il mio corcol tuo n'ando!
Tu la pace mi rapisti,
di dolor io moriro.She Appeared To MeShe appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
in a snap, to her did fly.
I was hurt, I was charmed
by that beauty from above.
Love is etched in my heart,
and cannot now be erased.
The mere thought that our hearts
with sweet love might beat as one
is enough to forget all the sorrow
that fills my heart.
She appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
In a snap to her did fly.
Marta, Marta, you have left me,
and my heart with yours has vanished.
Peace and quiet, gone now forever, I will surely die of pain.

Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo,
Vuole?Chi son? Chi son? son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore,
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri:gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora
ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche,poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete
parlate voi. Deh parlate.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
How Cold Your Little Hand IsHow cold your little hand is!
Will you let me warm it for you?
Why bother looking?
It's dark, and we won't find it.
It's our good luck though,
this night's filled with moonlight,
up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Please wait, my dear young lady,
and I will quickly tell you who stands before you, and
what I do, how I make my living.
May I?Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me bu

O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
in te ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!(Ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)Fremon nell'anima
dolcezze esteme, (ecc)
Nel baccio freme amor!(Oh come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al cor...
Tu sol comandi, amor!)
No per pieta!
Sei mia! V'asepttan gli amici... Gia mi mandi via? Vorrei dir... ma non osso.Se venissi con voi?Che? Mimi!
Sarebbe cosi dolce restar qui.
C'e freddo fuori. Vi staro vicina!E al ritorno?
Curioso! Dammi il braccio, o mia piccina...Obbedisco, signor!Che m'ami...di...
lo t'amo.Rodolfo E Mimi:
Amor! Amor! Amor!
Oh Sweet Little LadyOh! sweet little lady! Oh sweetest vision,
with moonlight bathing your pretty face!
The dream that I see in you
is the dream I'll always dream!(Oh, you rule alone, Love!)Deep in my soul trembles
the deepest of passions, etc.
Our kisses shudder with love!(How gently now his words of praise
make their way into

Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio
non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio!
Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati!
Bah, se tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!
Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira!
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor...
Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!On With The ShowGo on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder.
Bah, you think you're a man?
You're just a clown!
On with the show, man, and put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine,
laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
and with your clown's face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles,
Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.

E lucevan le stelle,
e olezzava le terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente
le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora e fuggita
e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!How The Stars Seemed To ShimmerHow the stars seem to shimmer,
the sweet scents of the garden,
how the creaking gate whispered,
and a footstep skimmed over the sand,
how she then entered, so fragrant,
and then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses,
While I stood trembling,
searching her features concealed by her mantle.
My dreams of pure love, forgotten forever!
All of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing,
And never before have I loved like this!

[Cavaradossi is working on a portrait of the Madonna for the church of St. Andrea. Thought the painting closely resembles a beautiful parishioner there, Cavaradossi explains that it is a combination of that woman. Whom he does not know, and his own dark-haired, dark-eyed lover Floria Tosca.]Recondita armonia
di belleze diverse!...E bruna Floria,
l'ardente amante mia.
E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero
le diverse belleze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu,
Tosca, sei tu!What Strange And Lovely HarmonyWhat strange and lovely harmony
of such different beauties! How dark is Floria,
this ardent love of mine.
And you, mysterious beauty, long blonde and flowing tresses,
how your eyes are sky blue, Tosca's eyes are black-night.
Art, too, with it's many mysteries,
blends all together such different beauties.
But though I paint another,
my only thought is you,
oh, my only thought is you,
Tosca, is you, is you!

E la solita storia del pastore...
Il povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla
e s'addormi.
C'e nel sonno l'oblio.
Come l'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar!
La pace sol cercando io vo'.
Vorrei poter tutto scordar!
Ma ogni sforzo e vano.
Davanti ho sempre
di lei il dolce sembiante.
La pace tolta E solo a me.
Perche degg'io tanto penar?
Lei! sempre lei mi parla ancor!
Fatale vision, mi lascia!
Mi fai tanto male,
Ahime!
It's That Familiar TaleIt's that familiar tale you've heard of the shepherd...
That penniless young man, attempting to retell it,
fell sound asleep.
In such slumber there's oblivion.
How I've envied him!
Like him, I would sleep all of my days-
at least if I slept, I might forget!
I seek only peace, it's all I need!
Forget it all, never recall!
Yet all is futile effort,
before me will always be
that sweet face of hers, alas!
My peace and my quiet, forever gone!
Why must I suffer so, oh why?
She, always she, speaks again to me!
Vision so fatal, please vanish!
How you have harmed me!
Alas!

Celeste aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!
Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
Garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies,
To the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
And build you a throne close to the sun!

(M. BoltonB. Mann G.Haase)
I walked in and she was standing there
By the bar in a red dress, I couldn't catch my breath
Her eyes, like fire, they reached into my heart
But my soul was her target, I didn't know it yet
I couldn't fight it, I felt my knees go weak
She barely had to speak

I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby

She took my hand and led me down the stairs
To the floor where the music was worshipped by strangers
Her body moved in ways I've never seen
How's the face of an angel so filled with danger
I couldn't fight it, I couldn't take the heat
She barely haad to speak

I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says

Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby

I don't really wanna fall tonight
But it feels so right when I know it's so wrong
I don't really wanna walk away
'Cause she's beggin' me to stay
And she's much too strong

I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wann

(M. BoltonB. Mann R. Perez)
Gimme back my breath, gimme back my senses
Gimme back my life, all my second chances
If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you
Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to

[Chorus:]
Love is written on your face
Do you believe in what you've found
I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Gimme back my pride, take away this silence
Gimme back my faith, show me where this road ends
Take away my choice, deliver me forever
You can free me with your voice
Even if you whisper

[Chorus]

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it

Don't make me wait for it, you know I ache for it
Don't make me break down and walk away
Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me
We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.

[Chorus]

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is

I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say

It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me

It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love

[Chorus:]
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you

It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me

It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love

[Chorus]

If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed

It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love

[Chorus 2x]

There's something different about you
And as I look in your eyes
It says true love has finally found you
And given you back your smile
I'm sorry I couldn't love you
The way I always meant to
Now there's someone else to play that part

I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve

I hear the way you talk about him
And suddenly it's all so clear
It's time for me to learn to move on
How deep in my heart you're still there
But I wanna see you happy
Even if it means that I'll make
Room for someone else to play that part

I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve

Now and forever you will always be
Someone who owns a place inside of me
The only way I can let you know
Is by letting go
Now as I let you go

I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
May he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
But most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
Ooh yeah
Most of all
I wish you all that you deserve
All that you deserve

I close my eyes now I pray
That you're out there doing the same
I'm full out of touch
Stands alone
And needs no vision to find its home

I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggar turns to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed

Deep in my mind I touch your skin
To risk our emotion a life so thin
Will you love me when I am on
Just stronger hold

I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggars turn to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed

I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed

I know I'm old 'til the moment when we dance
I finally realize I'm not so strong
Until my heart have had enough
So I close the door round up
But baby you prove me wrong

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again

My heart was going through the motion of beating
But I was faking everything breath I take
You taught me with the single kiss
Simple truth I almost miss
What good to heart that can't break

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
Feel my life begin
Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in
Took me all enough and now that I know
Never got this feeling
Oh baby

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Cause of you
Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak
Now I dream in eleven colours
Since you woke me from my sleep
More you give, the more I wonder
Where the hell I've been
Because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
I can feel

How do I begin to say
Words are not enough to show you how I really feel
And how the night is now just knowing you are here
I can show you night and day
I'll hold you til the end of all tomorrows disappear
Now it's all so clear
What a fool I would have been
If I never let you in
Inside of me
So faithfully stood by me

[Chorus:]
It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place
Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me.
I thank you for the love you gave
For every step along the way
You taught me to believe again
Baby, that's the hardest part.
It's all because you took the journey
The journey to the center of my heart

Looking back I have to laugh
Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own
When deep down I was scared to be alone
Somewhere down that lonely path
You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go
How did you know that you could turn my world around
This place I never would have found
Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly

[Chorus x2]

Your heart is my need
And I love what it means to succeed
As your fate is my prize
Love you're breathe in me
It's what keeps me alive
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes
To go on and on and on, oh baby

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live

In my dreams I can fly
In your arms, there's no earth, no sky
There's one truth, no lies
There's no distance between us
Just trust in our lives
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live, the way that we live

In our lives there's so much useless information
The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe
So many souls with the need for human affirmation
You and I choose to believe we are free!

This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
This is the way that we live

I simply love you, I don't have to ask why
I simply know this, like the sun knows to shine
The way you touch me, is there anything so right
In the soul of every part of me, I feel alive

It's true, I don't have to think twice
So true, baby you're a fact of life
Every little thing you say and do
Just breaks me down and brings me back to you

It's true, there aint a doubt in my heart
It's you, even in the deepest part
Never gonna be a way around it
It all comes down to....

I simply need you and I want you till I ache
You made me need you, the choice was never mine to make
I surrender, I'm just a man with no escape
Cause I'm really not about to live without you, baby

It's true, I don't have to think twice
So true, baby you're a fact of life
Every little thing you say and do
Just breaks me sown and brings me back to you

It's true, there aint a doubt in my heart
It's you, livin' in the deepest part
Never gonna be a way around it
All comes down to

Aint got no temptation
Try to solve this mystery
There aint no explanation
Just need to find out what's meant to be

It's true, I don't have to think twice
So true, 'cause you're a fact of life
Every little thing you say and do
Just breaks me down and brings me back to you

It's true, there aint a doubt in my heart
It's you, tell you from the deepest part
Never gonna find a way around it
What it all comes down to....

Now I've told you, what I've been feeling all along
Search for the right way as if it ever could be wrong
To simply say, all there is to say
I simply love you

Slowly desire fills the room
Slowly I feel my soul consumed
I'm losing myself in you...

Sweetly like a lovers' dance begins
Gently my fingers brush your skin
Now I've found myself in you...

Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone, slowly...

[Chorus:]
You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star
I was born to live and die right here in your arms
I want you to need me, to know you completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...
Slowly...

Hold me, don't let this moment end
Touch me like we'll never touch again
I live for this time with you, oh

[Chorus]

Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone...

[Chorus]

Tonight there's only one way I'll make love to you...slowly...

Oh oh
(You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star), shining star
(I was born to live) I was born to love you
(And die right here in your arms)
I want you to need me, to know me completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...Slowly...

A million miles beyond the voice of reason
It's where I can be found
Got me walking with my head in the clouds
My feet don't even touch the ground

I don't know what you've done to me, baby,
But my resistance is gone
I thought I was strong
Baby, I was wrong

'Cuz you call my name and you turn me around
As my arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you

Heartache shatters loves' innocence
My trusting days are through
My resistance was my best defense
But I never counted on you
You got the key to my destiny, babe,
I'm just a willing slave
I can't walk away, no, baby, I can't walk away

You just call my name and you turn me around
My arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender

Here I am trying to hold back the ocean
Drowning in the sea of desire
I've been betrayed by my own emotions
You and my senses conspire

(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)
I surrender! I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
I surrender, surrender, surrender to you

A billion miles beyond the voice of reason
That's where I can be found

The night becomes the dawn
To prove that love goes on
It's witten in the stars and in my heart of hearts
With you is where i still belong
Through every page we turn
Each lesson that we've learned
Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees
But love is right and never wrong

We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way we gave our soul
We gave it all for love... all for love

In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach into your heart no matter where you are
I promise we will find a way

To walk the road we've known
The road that leads us home
A million dreams ive dreamed in every one ive seen
The face of you and you alone

We know we can say we gave it all
We gave it all for love
Each step of the way, we gave our soul
We gave it all for love... we gave it all for love

A lifetime goes by so fast
For the secrets that remain
Soon the future becomes the past
When I hold you again... im gonna hold you forever

In silent prayers I pray
What words could never say
To reach you through the dark
To reach deep into your heart
And promise we will find a way

As night becomes the dawn
To prove that love goes on
Its written in the stars and in our beating hearts
Together is where we belong

Through every page we turn
Each lesson that we've learned
Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees
But love is right and never wrong

So we give it all for love... love

It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me

It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love

CHORUS:
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you

It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me

It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love

REPEAT CHORUS

If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed

It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love

Birds fly, they don't think twice
They simply spread their wings
The sun shines, it don't ask why
Or what the whole thing means

The same applies to you and I
We never question that
So good, it's just understood
Ain't no conjecture
Just a matter of fact

Love is a wonderful thing
Make you smile
through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again

Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing

The only thing a river knows
is running to the sea
And every spring when a flower grows
It happens naturally

The same magic
When you're in my arms
No logic can define
Don't know why, just feels so right
I only know it happens every time

Love is a wonderful thing
Make you smile
through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again

Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing

Oh when the cold wind blows I know
you're gonna be there to warm me
Yeah, that's what keeps me going
Our sweet love's gonna
keep on growing, just keep growing

Love is a wonderful thing
Make you smile
through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again

Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing

Love is a wonderful thing
Love is so sweet
to make your life complete

So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view

Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain

* When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever

Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old lucks gonna change


* Repeat

Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong

* Baby 'cause I'm missing you now
And its drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till I'm alone with you
To show you how I'm missing you now

Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
holdin' you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul

* Repeat

Baby I just can't wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I'm missing you now
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong

The tickin' of the clock, the beating of my heart
Pounding like a drum in the dark for you
If I could conquer time, I'd love you day and night
And make this moment last, baby all my life

Ask me how long I'll need you
Ask me how long I'll be there

* Forever isn't long enough, to give you my love,
to give you my love
Till the end of time isn't time enough
For everything I wanna do
Forever isn't long enough, to give all my love, to you

I watch you as you sleep, I'm jealous of the night
I'd steal you from your dreams, just to buy more time
So much in my heart, so much in my soul
A lifetime ain't enough to ever let you know

Tell me this will be for always
Tell me you'll always be there

* Repeat

'Cause the time is passin' by, and the more it slips away
When I look into your eyes, I know...baby
It isn't long enough, to give you my love
Forever ain't enough to give it all to you
There isn't time enough to see it all through
Forever ain't enough to give my love to you

I can still remember
When all I had was time
A time when I had nothin'
But this empty heart of mine
When I needed inspiration
When the night was all I knew
You were the light shinin' into my life
The reason for all the love I'm feelin'

* Now that I've found you
I don't know how I lived without you
I don't know how I survived without your love
Now that I've found you
I only know I'd be lost without you
I found the love
That I'll never find again
'Cause all I ever needed
And all I ever wanted
Has come true
I found it all now that I've found you

I could've searched forever
And never realized
The treasure of a lifetime
Was the love inside your eyes
When I reach for inspiration
In your touch, it's always there
Givin' me faith every step of the way
Givin' me all I ever needed

* Repeat

And every step of the way
Gonna dedicate my heart to you
Promise you my world forever
Pledgin' my love my whole life through

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman

Here we are, just goin' through the motions one more time
You look into my eyes, but you don't see me
Here I am, feelin' like a stranger in your arms
I touch you, I hold you, but lately I don't know you

Something is wrong but we go on from day to day
And we just pretend it all away
We act like nothing's changed
But in our hearts we know, it's not the same

* 'Cause we're not makin' love anymore
Baby, we're not makin' love like before
We may hold each other tight
Say that everything's alright
But we're not makin' love

Remember when, you couldn't wait to run into my arms
When the love inside my heart was all you needed
Remember when, you made me wish the night would never end
The fire, the thunder, we lived to love each other

If ever two hearts were one, then it was your and mine
But that was another place in time
Now all we have to show
Are memories of a dream we used to know

* Repeat

When did we lose our way, we had it all
Don't know how it all just slipped away
But oh, can we get it back again
Is it too late, can we try, just one time, 'Cause darling....

* Repeat

We're not makin' love anymore
Baby we're not makin' love like before
Can we find a way to try
Find the magic one more time
'Cause we're not makin' love

There's always somethin' new about you
Always somethin', takes me by complete surprise
Every time I see you, I see a part of you
Ooh, I've never seen before

Every day and night, the more we know each other
Every single time, the more that I discover

* It's a new love, always feels like a new love
Every touch is feelin' so much
Like the very first touch
Like a new love, always feels like a new love
It's never old, whenever we make love
And I can't get enough of this new love

I'm still excited, just talkin' to you
I'm still inspired, just walkin' next to you
Girl the way I need you
I find as time goes by, ooh I need you even more

Nothin' feels as good, as good as us together
Nothin' in the world, no, there ain't nothin' better than this...

* Repeat

We can just go on and on
Long as we keep this love
Long as we keep this love a

Tonight I feel like a prisoner
On fire, waiting desperately
Denied, sentenced forever more
Only your love can set me free

I search my heart is vain
To understand what I'm suppose to do
Ain't never felt this way
But there was never anyone like you

* Lover you've gotta save me, oh woman don't you drive me crazy
Lover you've gotta save me, believe me
You're the one, won't ya come and save me

Inside, so deep in the heart of me
You've got this power, I just can't explain
In this life, this world of insanity
I'm at your mercy when you call my name

Something in your touch defies all reason
With you passion rules
I never felt this much
But there was never anyone like you

* Repeat

Take me through this fire, this raging wall of flames
Only you can break me from these chains

* Repeat

Save me

In the night I hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside your soul
You're holding on and won't let go

I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and (I know) I just can't break these...

Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain

I'm still running, but there's nowhere to hide
My love for you has got me locked up inside these...

Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you

Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

*Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what s slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

**I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an 'A' student, baby
I can win your love for me

**Repeat

*Repeat

What a wonderful world this would be

I never knew someone who made me
Feel so good before
But I never gave my heart to anyone
Who could hurt me more
And when you promise me that no one else
Will ever take my place
I get the feeling you're just leading me on
And lying right to my face
First you say you want me then you say
You're leaving
I've gotta know if I'm coming or going with you
When ya say you need me
Do you really mean it
Maybe it's true I just wish I could believe it
Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

Just when I give it up the game
Is through and your heart is mine
I turn around you're up to something new
Ya do it time after time
What's it gonna take to break this circle
I've gotta know am I coming or going with you
And when ya hurt me do ya really mean to
Ya say ya don't I wish I could believe you
Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you
You come on like a fire burning
And I'm lost in the flame
Over and over again

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you
Hot love

Now she's gone, from my life
And it nearly drove me out of my mind
Always thinking what she meant to me
All we left behind
Can't be afraid, startin' over
Gotta get up, start livin' again
When you're drownin' in your loneliness
The hurtin' never ends....
And the night rolls on
I search for some piece of mind
No, I can't be wrong
Won't get burned by desire this time
Gonna wait on love, holdin' on till I find the one
Wait on love, won't hold back
I promised myself, till it comes...
Gonna wait on love

Wanna get close with somebody
When a voice says I'm movin' too fast
It's hard to know when to walk away
Or try to make it last......
Still the night rolls on
Secrets are safe in the dark
And I stayed too long
I'm not gonna lie to my heart
Gonna wait on love, holdin' on till I find the one
Wait on love, won't hold back
I promised myself, till it comes...
Gonna wait on love

Someone I can run to
Just know that it's right
Trust my heart and soul to
For the rest of my life....

Gonna wait on love, holdin' on till I find the one
Wait on love, won't hold back
I promised myself, till it comes...
Gonna wait on love

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time


Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time


Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same


I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Nowhere to run I know
She's got the best of me
The deed is done, Heaven knows
She wants the rest of me
It's much too late
I'm caught up in the fantasy
There's no escape
My runnin' days are history
Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

Been on the loose so long
Love couldn't hold me down
The flame in you was so strong
Girl you turned my heart around
Now I'm losin' sleep
Can't get you out of my head
Think I'm in too deep
I'm a slave to every word that you said
Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

Gina, Gina,
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way
Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever

Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever

There was a time
We thought our dream was over
When you and I
Had surely reached the end
Still here we are
The flame as strong as ever
All because we both kept holding on
We know we can weather any storm

[Chorus:]
Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the fire burning
It's something we could never live without
It it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

As time goes by
We've learned to rediscover
The reason why
This dream of our survives
Through thick and thin
We're destined for each other
Knowing we can reach the other side
Far beyond the mountains of our pride

[Chorus]

Ridin' the good times is easy
The hard times can tear you apart
There'll be times in your heart
When the feelin' is gone
But ya keep on believing
And ya keep holdin' on

Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the dream from dying
It's something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

Shadows fall
Through the darkness we reach
As the hunger calls
Then you run
To the passion that takes you over

No lookin' back
The chance will never come again
You risk it all
For your dream
Won't let you go


CHORUS:
When you feel the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Alone through an endless night
And the needs never satisfied


Through these eyes
Seen a river of tears
Seen the strong survive
Separate lives
And the emptiness makes you wonder
Blame it on love


You had it all and it's not enough
You'll never change
A slave to the fire
It never ends


Still you've got the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Never deny your heart


The need to be satisfied
Still you feel the hunger
The primitive rite
Of a restless breed
Surrendering all your life
To the true nature of the beast


No looking back
The chance will never come again
You give it all to your dream
It never ends

I've been thinking about the night
We held each other so close
Had the words locked up inside
We finally let them go
And how we promised together
Forever that we'd never fall
Oh, with a passion that felt so right
Deep in our restless hearts
Nothing breaks the ties
If only love survives
You put your faith in me, now I believe

You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold on to me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
The shelter in my life
The air that I can breathe
You're all that I need

Through the years you've loved one man
And always let me know
Found the strength to understand
It's been no easy road
You've never given up
Can't live without your love
I'll put my heart of the line
Until you believe

You're all that I need,
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream, run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need

I can face the fire
When you stand beside me
You keep my heart inspired
The way you believe

You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream
Run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need
You're all that I need

I said a lot of things
A lot of things I didn't mean to say
Never meant to hurt you
I was wrong to fight with you that way
But I'm only human
I let my pride deceive me
You're the lover I need in my life
If you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

From the day I found you
You brought light into my heart
So don't keep your love away from me
Don't leave me in the dark
Though I never tell you
What my heart's concealing
You're the lover I need in my life
Can't you feel what I'm feeling
Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

You could think it over
You could make it easy
I'm the lover you need in your life
If you still don't believe me
Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face

It's over now, gotta face it one last time
We'll never make it work, heaven knows we tried
Living this life, holdin' on for so long
I know it won't be easy, but it's time to be strong
Walk away, walk away
Don't you wait a minute longer
Walk away from the love we know is wrong
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now, before my heart won't let you
Walk away

You and I, never wanted it to end
Just have to find a way, to start livin' again
Oh, love of my life, I don't want to let you go
Leave behind the memories, a forever that we'll never know
Walk away, walk away
Don't you wait a minute longer
Walk away from the love we know is wrong
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now, before my heart won't let you
Walk away

Ya know we can't go on, ya know the reason why
That don't make it any easier, when it comes to saying
Good-bye
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now
Before my heart won't let you...
Walk away, walk away
Don't you wait a minute longer
Walk away from the love we know is wrong
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now, before my heart won't let you
Walk away

You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one

You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you....But I lied

Under the endless sky
Beneath a million stars
Within the course of a lifetime
How very young we are


As I stumble on this journey
Along the road to what is real
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel


With all the lessons of my learning
And the strength that I possess
Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
That take much more than my best


There are plans beyond my power
There are dreams beyond my reach


Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
Don't tell the story inside
So don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my pride


CHORUS
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of stone
I can't be anything more than I'm made of
Move heaven and earth on my own


I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel


They teach you well to wear your armor
But what you've learned is just a lie
And there's a price to be paid for denying
With every tear you never cry
Don't ever show, don't let them know
The heart you never reveal
Don't ask me why don't make me hide
The pain you don't think I can feel


CHORUS


I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel


(solo)
Oh don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride


CHORUS


I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone

As I'm looking back in time
My heart was young and the world was mine
Driven by desires blind
I remember someone told me as the years roll by
Remember one thing, the one thing
People come and people go
The way the winds of fortune blow
So hard to find that heart of gold
I remember someone told me
When you find it don't let go

CHORUS
You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby
Makes this world heaven
Makes the whole thing right
You're the one thing
That means something baby
The one I believe in, the one thing I need in my life


As I look into your lovin' eyes
There ain't no doubt just where my treasure lies
I've searched the earth for somethin' true
But the only truth that matters is my love for you


And that's the one thing, the one thing
Timeless as the stars, faithful as the sea
Like the endless risin' sun I know you'll be there for me
There's so much love inside this heart of mine could break
'Cause I know I've found forever and with every breath I take


CHORUS


And your love is like a rainbow
In a world that's black and white
You paint my dreams in color
And in your arms they come alive
You're my every inspiration
You're the wings that make me fly
You're my only destination
You're the one thing, the one thing in my life, ooh


You're the one thing, you're the one thing baby


CHORUS

We may be strangers We may be worlds apart sometimes And it's hard to accept The things we just don't understand So blind to each other We only see one side of nowhere Some things we may never know If there's one thing you should ever know [Chorus:] Soul of my soul, heart of my heart The greatest treasure of my life that's what you are Soul of my soul, child of my heart I love you more than you know, soul of my soul Into this world We come with a heart that's open wide And the best of this life Is all I ever want for you The love you believe in, your every dream Your every passion In time I know you'll come to see Nothin' means as much to me [Chorus] There'll come a time when you'll be on your own But in your heart you're never far from home Every road you take Your every living day You will always be, you will always be The soul of my soul [Chorus] Soul of my soul, heart of my heart Some kind of miracle of life that's what you are Blood of my blood, light of my life You mean much more than you know Soul of my soul

Completely, wanna give my love, completely
I'd rather be alone than be in love just half the way
I want to find someone that I can trust, completely
Wanna give my heart, completely
To someone who'll completely give their heart to only me
And when I find that one
That's when I'll fall in love

CHORUS
Completely
Not half but whole
With heart and soul
Completely, not in between
But everything
Completely
That's the way it's got to be
The way I want someone to fall in love with me


Forever, wanna feel the word, forever
And know there'll be somebody there forever by my side
And when that feeling comes
That's when I'll give my love


CHORUS


It's all or nothing at all for this heart of mine
And I won't give up this heart until the day I find
Someone who can be
Someone who loves me


CHORUS

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that
there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you
need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
that you won't let show
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me
when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear
that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
if you just call me

Call me if you need a friend
Call me
Call me
Call me

lean on me
when you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
somebody
somebody to lean on

You can live your life on the edge of your seat
You can take your place down on easy street
Or just lose your mind
Over things only money can but
But it's a fact of life no matter what you do
Every stake ya claim, every dream come true
Down deep inside these kinda things never satisfy
Oh love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Love is the living dream
Callin' your name
Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you

[Chorus:]
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
Because you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love

You can carry the flame across the finish line
You can sign your name in the sands of time
But fortune and fame, they're just things that ya leave behind
Well you think you got the world in the palm of your hand
But there's one thing missin' in your promised land
It's a thing called love, the one thing that your heart demands
Oh love is the rhythm of life
In your soul is where the secret lies
When love is lookin' through your eyes
Every feelin' inside
Is tellin' you somethin'

[Chorus]

You can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road
Sail full steam down the river of gold
If you ever get it all ya never get enough
'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love
Oh love is the precious thing
Set you free and give your heart the wings, to fly
Callin' your name, ooh

Sometimes you find out what you wanted
Isn't really what you need
And the dream in all its promise
Was never meant to be
All your hopes and desperation
Won't make it like it was
And you believe the pain will never end
Believe me in time it does

CHORUS
You've gotta know when love is over
You've gotta learn to carry on
And with the world upon your shoulders
You walk away when hope is gone
When your golden road has reached the end
You find a way to start again you know
There's a time for love a time for letting go


When you're standin' tall tomorrow
Looking back at yesterday
Through the memory of your sorrow
How the dawn was so far away
You'll be far beyond the shadow
Where hearts can learn to shine
And you'll realize the endless night
Was only a moment in time


CHORUS


The night is long the night is cold
With nothing to believe in
Just hold on, 'cause life goes on
Your new day is waiting, let go and let it begin


CHORUS

So alive, when you're near
Sometimes this pounding in my heart is all that I can hear
Everyday, every night
I feel my weakness gettin' stronger
With each moment passin' by

I keep tryin' to tell my heart
Just a matter of time, till the feeling subsides
But time doesn't change a thing
And I want you to know
That I need you more than ever


CHORUS
Never get enough of your love
It would only take me
Till the end of forever
Never get enough of your love
Heaven knows I've tried
But I can't get enough of your love


Can't deny what I feel
The more I fall into this dream the more I know it's real
I just run to your touch
'Cause nothin' else can satisfy this hunger for your love


They say that a time will come when the thrill is gone
Still it keeps goin' strong
And time doesn't mean a thing
'Cause as good as it gets
Oh it just keeps gettin' better


CHORUS


The more I feel the more I feel about you
The trouble is I never get enough
The more I live the more I just can't live without you
I can't get enough
No never enough of your love


CHORUS

I see your face and feel your heartache
I see the trace of the tears you have cried
The silent sound of the heart left unspoken
You were strong enough to hide

All your life, no one's ever shown you
What it's really like to have someone to hold you


CHORUS
In the arms of love, heaven's just a heartbeat away
I'll be your light in the dark, your shield from the storm
Your shelter from the rain
And in the arms of love I'll lift you above all the madness
All of the pain
And you'll be safe and warm here in the arms of love


We search this world for a little compassion
For just one look through the eyes of a child
For one more chance to be a believer
While there's still a chance in time


All your life no one there beside you
Close your eyes and let this moment find you


CHORUS


High above the world where dreams are sailing
Far beyond the brightest shinin' star
Where everything you've waited for is waiting


CHORUS


I'll keep you far from harm here in the arms of love

Gotta get close to me,
Gotta let love inside,
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh ooh ooh

Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can I say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can I do, to prove what I'm feelin' for you

Oh, I could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe

CHORUS:
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me and listen to the voice of my heart

Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time real love will find you
Oh, what can I do, to just make this one thing come true

Oh, I would take your heart into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that I need
To hold you and make you believe

CHORUS

Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until I can make you believe

(Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms)
And listen to THE VOICE OF MY HEART!

CHORUS

(Listen to the voice of my heart) Baby...
(Listento the voice of my heart) Gotta get close to me...
Gotta let love inside...(listen to the voice of my heart)
Baby...Get close to me...
(Listen to

In this crazy world
You can prove that you can make it
If you're strong enough to take it
Still there will be times
When you find this life you're livin'
Is just takin' all your givin'

When you need someone to run to
The shelter of my love is always near
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there

CHORUS
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place fro the storm

People in this world
Can be blind and so demanding
Show so little understanding
And in these desperate times
Seems like everything's deceivin'
There ain't much we can believe in

Let me be the one you come to
Show you one thing, trust is always here
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there

CHORUS
(Run to me) When those cold and troubled winds have found you
(Come to me) And I'll wrap my world of love around you
I'll be your flame burnin' bright
Be the sunlight in your day
That'll take you through the night baby

Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place from the storm
I'll be your safe place from the storm

I got this somethin' to tell you
There ain't no doubt in my mind
All I'm askin' is to
keep you near forever
Just 'till the end of time
Baby I know where love grows
my heart is overflowin'
You're so fine and so true
I wanna spend my time
spend my time with you baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath
and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me
by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me
the best of love
Passion and sweet inspiration
So rare and so hard to find
You are my journey
and my destination
Queen of this heart of mine
Baby I know where love grows
In my life is overflowin'
You're so fine and so true
I know I've got it all
all because of you baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath
and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me
by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me
the best of love
With every moment that passes by
This love goes on
It keeps growin' stronger
And the more we're together
The best keeps gettin' better baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath
and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me
by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me
the best of love
I've got the best of love
and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me
by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me
the best of love
best of love
deepest emotion
You know you've got me
by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me
the best of love
I've got the best of love
the best of love
best of love

Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending
Before the real story even begins
It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending
Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in

But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot
That's how ya find out just how much you've really got

[Chorus:]
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter
Believe what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer

The seed of love is so deeply planted
Inside the heart is where it lives and grows
We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted
Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow

Every storm is just a lesson to learn
Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby

[Chorus]

Ya gotta stand the test of time
If ya wanna keep the treasure you find
Some can only dream about forever
But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together

[Chorus]

Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Baby, live what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
Let's make a long story longer

A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you

Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong

A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you

Wo, so strong, oh
I can't let go oh no
Wo, so strong, wo, so strong
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free
Of your hold on me
I can't let go

A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more

Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong

Angels heard me callin'
Saw the mountains crumble
Fell in love with the wind
And all the time I spent
Dreamin' of you
And all the love we made
But I never knew I found you

CHORUS
I can feel love fallin', fallin'
I can see it comin', hey
'Cause heaven sent you down to me
Heaven sent you down

Oceans re conforming
To pave the way before me
Revealing your flawless aura
I saw your wings unveil, inviting to me
A world of love
But I wasn't even looking for ya baby

CHORUS
You became rain in the air
When you appeared to me
Like a love mystery, feels so real to me
'Cause you came from heaven
Sent down straight to me
And there's not another that ya can love
Oh I can feel it fallin'

CHORUS

How in the h*ll did this begin
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over again

It took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friends

How many lifetimes must we live through
Till we're lookin' through the eyes of the truth

* We are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time

So much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remains

We know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kind

* Repeat

Time after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learn

* Repeat

When the rain is fallin' and I'm overcome
With the doubts and demons of a love undone
No voice need tell me that you were the one

CHORUS
Oh I'll remember all my life
A love that set me free
Whatever comes of you and I
I will still believe
That once upon a time a dream came true
Whenever I remember loving you

Not a single moment, not a single kiss
Would I have traded, would I have missed
No other could ever move me like this

CHORUS
It's not that I don't feel the pain as deep as pain can be
But I will not be denied the light
Your love has brought to me
What you've given me will last forever
I refuse to lose the treasure
Of you inside my heart eternally

CHORUS
I'll always feel the love we once knew
As long as I remember loving you

Oh I'll remember loving you
Oh I'll remember all my life

You can't deny it
When that once in your life
Comes that one of a kind

Once she's inside it
She can shake up your heart
She can make up your mind

Everything in your life will change
When your love is your best friend
My advice to you is make no mistake
If ya never want this feelin' to end

CHORUS
Show her the way she makes you love her
Show her the way she makes you feel
Let your emotions roll like thunder
You gotta let her know
You'll never let her go
Show her the way

Now love is for dreamers
Funny thing about dreams
Any moment they're gone
And love is the teacher
About makin' it last, about keepin' it strong

Promise the moon and stars
Swear the best is yet to come
But promises are not what it takes
To keep the flame forever young

All you really need to show
Is everything she needs to know

CHORUS X2
Show her, gotta show her, just show her the way(X3)
Show her the way

I wake up while you lie sleepin'
I take one look at you and wonder
Am I still dreamin'
Are you some kind of angel
Come down to save me
Or just some place my imagination's tryin' to take me
What have I done to deserve what I feel
You give me somethin' that's too good to be real
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know just one thing
I still don't understand

CHORUS
Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me
Why me, Why me

I ain't got a clue, maybe just a notion
Sometimes I'm helplessly adrift out in the ocean
I feel like a child with one sole intention
In search of an answer that defies all comprehension

I'm in too deep but that's what you're all about
Got no hope or desire of finding my way out
How does a treasure like you fall into my hands
I need to know that one thing
Can ya help me understand

CHORUS X2
Why do you love me
Why do you give so much
How do you heal the pain within me
Is it the power of your touch
Now that you've opened up the heavens
For this heart of mine to see
I've become the richest man that I could ever be
Baby why, baby why me

Could've been anyone in this world, why me
Every lesson that I've learned
You've come to me and shown me
What it means to be loved(X2)

CHORUS X2
Why me, why me, why me, why me
Help me understand just what you've done to me
'Cause I'm the richest man that I could ever be
Tell me why, tell me why, baby

Lived my life and walked it alone
All my time and my heart was my own, for so long
I held the key to everything I'd need
Every dream, so sure that I'd succeed
'Cause I was strong, so strong
I swear that it was true, till the day that I found you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have ya done to me, baby

[Chorus 1:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
I've got no control
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you

Time goes by and it grows stronger still
With a smile I surrender my will, I'm on my knees
Passion's taken me so far across the line
All power of reason is no longer mine
I'm just waitin' to please
What else can I do, I'm forever wantin' you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have you done to me

[Chorus 1]

Baby, you're the last thing that I had planned
Got me livin' in the palm of your hand
The more I have of you the less I understand
How ya give me so much
And I just never get enough
Can't get close enough, baby
What have you done to me, baby

[Chorus 2:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you

Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
Filling my heart with your love
Still I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Can't get close enough to you
Can't get close enough to you, baby
Here in

We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search
As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe
In this hour and in truth what is it worth
When we can't escape the madness
We've created on this earth

They say that money talks but you and I
Know places money just don't say enough

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Let there be love, let there be love

We live divided behind imaginary walls
Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall
With hearts united we will never stand so tall
Reachin' out to one another
We'll find the meaning of it all

Ain't one power we will ever know
Could ever heal the poverty of the soul

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love

BRIDGE
(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)
How many more promises spoken
While the dreams of the innocent die
Every day another heart gets broken
While the flame of hate survives
When will the healing begin in our lives

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Gotta be more than wise enough
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love

You pull me in, then ya push me away
Ask me leave, then ya beg me to stay
Bend me baby, bend me till I break
Do you really wanna know how much
This heart of mine can take
When I find myself in a daze sometimes
Lovin' you has got me losin' my mind

CHORUS
Is it pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain

Ya make me smile
Make me thankful that I breathe
Let me taste some heaven
Before ya drop me to my knees
Ya chain me baby, till it's time to set me free
Give me everything I want
Give me nothin' that I need

Well I ask myself why I keep holdin' on
Lovin' you is just a weakness too strong

CHORUS
I still don't understand why I can't resist
What keeps me comin' back, comin' back for more of this
Pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain

Keeps me runnin', keeps me running to you
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain

I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong


Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through


And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete


But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart


Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms


I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

All of this time
I've been tellin' myself the truth
I love you
And that's the easiest thing to do, yeah
How do I describe
How ya turn my world around
Ain't no wonder why those words
Are those ones I've never found
Oh girl, there's so much I mean to say
And I'll keep tryin'
Till I finally find a way

CHORUS
When we make love
Heart to heart
Speak from our souls
We come shinin' through the dark
We reach the stars
Still by far the deepest part
Is (are) the moment(s) when the tears begin to fall
When there really are no words
That's when we say it all

And how many times when you're lyin' close to me
Have ya shown me baby
How much in life don't really mean a thing
All that matters and in all the world remain
Is your love and all ya mean to say
And then hey baby, the heaven in your eyes
Is all I see that means everything to me

CHORUS
There's a power in the silence
Where the truth is just too much
There's a place of pure emotion
Words were never meant to touch

CHORUS
When there are no words
That's when we say it
'Cause there are no words
When we say it
There are no words

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you
all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need
someone to cheer you
all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes
if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you
all the way
Through the good or lean years
for all the in between years
come what may
Who knows where the
road will lead us
Only a fool would see
But if you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you
all the way all the way

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless
they love you
all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need
someone to cheer you
come what may
Who knows where the
road will lead us
Only a fool would see
If you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you
all the way
All the way

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:
A kiss to build a dream on.

Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part,
A kiss to build a dream on.

When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.

Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.

Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on -

If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness
in your eyes
Give you courage
in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things
I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges
that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your
innocence from time
But the part of life
I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it
through the hungry years
But I know that I can never
cry your tears
But I would
If I could

Yes If I live
in a time and place
where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along
this road with me
My yesterday
won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world
I brought you to
And there isn't very much
that I could do
But I would
If I could

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh at last at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
at last

I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
at last

When I fall in love
it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is
Love has ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth
of the sun

When I give my heart
it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment
I can feel that
you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you

And the moment
I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

Well I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me

Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
beside the lucky guy

Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me -

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must
keep on trying
Smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life
is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile
What's the use of crying
You'll find that life
Is still worth while
If you just smile

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.

You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.

You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's
so good lookin' baby
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky
But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you
oh no
With your mama
and your daddy standing by

But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you
oh no
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry
It's summertime
And the livin' is easy
The fish are jumpin'
don't you know
they're jumpin' baby
And the cotton is high
Your daddy is rich so rich
And your mamma's
so good lookin' baby
Don't you hush my little darling
Don't you cry
It's summertime

Don't you cry

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

I have often dreamed
of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road
to embrace my fate
Though that road my wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years oh
I'd be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete
But to look beyond the
glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is
measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face it's harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms

I will search the world
I will face it's harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms

we skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels cross the floor
i was feeling kind of seasick
the crowd called out for more
the room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
when we called out for another drink
but the waiter brought a tray

and so it was later
as the miller told his tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a shiter shade of pale

she said there is no reason
and the truth is plain to see
but i wander through my playing cards
and would not let it be
one of the sixteen vestal virgins

who are leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might just as well been closed

and so it was later
as the miller told his tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale

and so it was later
as the miller told his tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale -

I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin
Someones swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see its true
So tell me all about it, tell me bout the
Plans youre makin
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I suppose to live without you
Now that Ive been lovin you so long
How am I suppose to live without you
How am I suppose to carry on
When all that Ive been livin for is gone

I didn't come here for cryin
Didnt come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day wed be so much
More than friends
And I don't wanna know the price
I'm gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I suppose to live without you
Now that Ive been lovin you so long
How am I suppose to live without you
How am I suppose to carry on
When all that Ive been livin for is gone

And I don't wanna face the price
I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true

Take these tears,
put em in a bottle.
Don’t let these tears I cry be in vain.

Take these tears,
keep them up in heaven.
Water my life with tears like rain

Hear me,
hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hopin’

Hear me,
I am feeling broken I am broken open.

Take this life,
turn it into something,
I’m afraid it’s just wasting time

Turn this life the sun has ripened,
grow it slowly on the vine.
Turn my tears into wine

Turn my tears into wine,
turn these tears into wine
All that’s left of me are traces.
Make me stronger in my broken places

Joy to the world! The Lord has come Let earth receive her king Let every heart, prepare Him room And Heaven and nature sing And Heaven and nature sing And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy He rules the world With truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders Of His love

Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
She's just a child goin' on seventeen

She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
They don't mean what they say
They don't say what they mean
She reads the signs, reads between the lines
But it makes no difference
There's no reason or rhyme

Just hold on girl, as long as you can
In time you'll learn what you don't understand
It's the human condition, it's the nature of man

[Chorus:]
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy

This city boy, he don't want no control
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
But here they come to turn the pressure on
Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone

The time has come now to be a man
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else

The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down
I am who I am, I've had a good look around
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found

[Chorus]

There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
Sooner or later, ya come to understand
The human condition, it's the nature of man

[Chorus]

You go to my head
and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

The thrill of the thought
that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words in other words
I love you

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me,
someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me,
and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me,
and I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say "This is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me


For once in my life I've got someone who needs me,
someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me,
and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can say "This is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone
who needs me

The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song
and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
Like painted kites,
those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter winds,
they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies
through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day


Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
it's today Valentineday

I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality
wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
and i love you under my skin.

That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life (that's life),
and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper,
a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, baby,
but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper,
a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
My, my!
