David Loucks [Bariton, M-Pact]

What a day this has been!
What a rare mood I'm in!
Why, it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

For so long I was living my life
Very secure in my conviction
I was sure no one would see inside
As long as I held to my perfection
But a voice within kept telling me it's something was wrong
That the truth I knew was merely contemplation
I tried to ignore that peaceful inner song
But my hand would not stop shaking

Watch the baby learning to walk
All it can do is stand
Wanting so much to be like them
Content to hold their hand
Watch the baby learning to talk
Able to mumble sounds
Trying so hard to be like them
Until he falls back down



Looking back, all those years of frustration
Better let them go or I'll fall again
Holding on to what's left of my faith
One day I'll find the perfect match
Then a voice within reminds me how it really used to be
In spite of myself I made the transformation
But I remain a stubborn child
Searching desperately for a hand to place my faith in

Watch the baby learning to walk
All it can do is stand
Wanting so much to be like them
Content to hold their hand
See the baby learning to talk
Able to mumble sounds
Trying so hard to be like them
Until he trips and falls back down

Used to be my lover, used to be my friend

used to be my pride, my joy

but now you got to go

(used to be my pride, my joy but now you've got to go)

i can't take the pain no more

it's time you hit the door

and don't running back, i think you had your chance

you blew it now, i'm gone

can only take so much, this time i've had enough

what took me so long? i thought that you cared

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around

your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

i used to have a treasure

use to have a pot of gold

but no more chasing rainbows

it's not for me no more

(but no more chasing rainbows it's not for me no more)

i can't take the pain no more

it's time you hit the door

and don't come running back, i think you had your chance

you blew it now, bye bye

can only take so much, this time i've had enough

what took me so long? i thought that you cared

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

remember that i...



i told you that i loved you so

this time i'm the fool

(i'm the fool that fell in love with)

now what will i do?

thought you loved me too

i thought that you cared for me

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

i thought you cared

oh

ya-ee~~

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

i thought you really cared for me

i thought that you cared for me

but every time i see your face

i know it just won't be

'coz even in my time of need i reached out to touch your hand

only i found you weren't around your hands with another man

i thought that you cared for me

Off and on?
So many times
The good and the bad?
Kept changing my mind
Black or white,
Which would it be?
I was stranded and we wanted everything

So how could I choose
Without being told?
I can't spend my youth
Being all alone and growing old
Choosing again can be such a task
But when will I try and how will I ask?

I made the choice
To live life without your love
The time has gone by
And still it's you I'm thinking of
To be without you
Makes me regret each day
I chose to live this way

I was cool or so I thought
You're playing my mind and I think a lot
Heaven or hell, bells still ring
But I just want you back you are everything

I made the choice
To live life without your love
The time has gone by


And still it's you I'm thinking of
To be without you
Makes me regret each day
I chose to live this way

And I can learn
And I make mistakes
I haven't changed my mind this is how I feel,
This is how I feel today

I made the choice
To live life without your love
The time has gone by
And still it's you I'm thinking of
To be without you
Makes me regret each day
I chose to live this way

I made the choice
To live life without your love
The time has gone by
And still it's you I'm thinking of
To be without you
Makes me regret each day
I chose to live this way

What is need,
Something to claim?
Without you love,
I won't be the same?.

my explanation of my relation
quite a sensation a new revelation
the old situation a bad imitation
cuz your the kind of love i'm dreaming of
you wan't explanation of this new relation
take this equation as confirmation
cuz this is duration of love elevation
my only hope is that you feel it too
this is no game of words we play no way
it's simple but true the fact it
oh, this you need to know
that i need you so
this i need to show you time and time again
now i, need to tell you why
you make me believe that what i feel
is not only true but oh so real
my one true love you need to know
this information of love elevation
a solid foundation with no frustrations
like a vacation here's my invitation
so go with me to where i've never been
hope my adaptation has proximation
with your indication i need validation
my declaration i'll stand with the nation
and tell the word that i'm in love with you
tell me that you need me too
and i'll tell you you can have me ooh
and i'll cherish every thought of you
and i won't ever let you go
whatever would be come of me
if you told me we could never be
i don't wanna think of living life without you
you make me feel so good like no one ever could
you reach a place that no ones ever been
ain't nothin better than having you by my side
you make me feel alright
