It's hard to bet your life on love When all we learn is how to keep on moving And the odds are never good enough For all we know, nothing lasts forever in this life Show me one thing that will never fade away What goes with the fall, returns with the spring This whole world is made that way Who's to know if love will stay [Chorus:] But there's nothing quite like this That I've ever known And I believe in it There's no way out of it I can't let go Because I believe in it We second guess the things we see When all too soon you know time will show If love was never meant to be Then we can't hide before too long We'll know if it was right Show me one thing that will never fade away What goes with the fall, returns with the spring This whole world is made that way Who's to know if love will stay |

It was so right, it was so wrong Almost at the same time The pain and ache a heart can take No one really knows When the memories cling and keep you there Till you no longer care And you can let go now It's wrong for me to cling to you Somehow I just needed time From what was to be-it's not like me To hold somebody down But I was tossed high by love I almost never came down Only to land here Where love's no longer found Where I'm no longer bound And I can let go now |

Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball? He hurled out into the night Somewhere east of eden From the first time that we stumble We learn that nothing is assured However hopelessly we tumble It's by the grace of god that we endure If there's some better place Far from all that's wrong But if god in his wisdom Saw fit to put you here Then here is where I belong Somewhere east of eden Maybe he laughs in our face By way of the cold hard fact That these moments framed in time and space Are the same ones nothing can bring back Maybe we exist and wonder through this world Just to lead each other home From somewhere east of eden |

Why do we look so hard? Why do we ask so much?

Can we be satisfied? In this life how many times Can we pass the promised land, forever lost? There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride Eventually, the day will come When lies won't buy time Tears won't bring hope When there's no more prayin'... Nowhere to run or do what we've done before There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride |

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game Two people vow to stay In love as one they say But all is changed with time The future no one can see The road you leave behind Ahead lies mystery But all is fair in love I had to go away A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair All of fate's a chance It's either good or bad I tossed my coin to say In love with me you'd stay But all in war is so cold You either win or lose When all is put away The loosing side I'll play But all is fair in love I should never have left your side A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair |

How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were. I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were. With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion, I want to stop and thank you baby. I want to stop and thank you baby. How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. I close my eyes at night wondering where would I be without you in my life. Everything I did was just a bore, everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before. But you brighten up for me all of my days with a love so sweet in so many ways, I want to stop and thank you baby, I just want to stop and thank you baby. How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine. How sweet it is to be loved by you. You were better for me than I was for myself, for me, there's you and there ain't nobody else, I want to stop and thank you baby. I just want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do, how sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Feels so fine, how sweet it is to be loved by you. Just like jelly baby, oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you. Just like honey to the bee, babe, how sweet it is to be loved by you. |

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell, Life began, then was done, Now I stare into a cold and empty well The many sounds that meet our ears the sights our eyes behold, Will open up our merging hearts, And feed our empty souls I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever Without despair we will share, And the joys of caring will not be replaced, What has been must never end And with the strength we have won't be erased When the truths of love are planted firm, They won't be hard to find, And the words of love I speak to you will echo in your mind I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever, I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again, I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again God surely answered my prayer, God surely answered by prayer, You know God surely answered my prayer, You know God surely answered my prayer, God always will answer your prayers, Believe in one who will answer my prayer, Thank you God Come on, let's fall in love, You're the woman I've been waiting for, Come on, let's fall in love, You're the girl that I really adore, Come on, let's fall in love... |

Child, as I look in your eyes You know my life seems like a minute There I find living proof Of all the wonder life hold in it In the past I thought I had to learn Any good that comes from this life we're living Here and now, let us realize That this life's gift and it's already been given [Chorus:] Someday when you stand in the middle Like it or not you're gonna look both ways You're gonna find that time is a riddle Where days turn into years And years into the blink of an eye Child, once I saw a man on the tv Lead a nation up a mountain He said, children, look over yonder The flame of truth is burning brightly Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time Only so many of us are gonna get there Here and now is all we really have But if we can make it count We got no reason to worry [Chorus] You're gonna walk that mile You're gonna be in that number You're gonna make that journey Just like the good book says There's a time to be born, a time to cross over You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye |

Girl, they ain't no way out When something is meant to be Darling, there ain't no doubt I'm right where I want to be So everything you see as the end of our road I see as only a start This ain't no time to stop before we begin And though there's no promises [Chorus:] Everytime I think how good it could be I start to be believe it's up to the stars I should use my head But that only tends to lose me and confuse me Everytime I think how good it could be I surely believe we'll make it that far I should use my head But I only know you by heart, by heart Girl, I know I'm in Over my head But now I need to find out Just what you want from me And if I'm reaching too high, you know we live and learn That's all it takes in this life I can't be overly cautious where love's concerned I know there's no promises [Chorus] |

in her long ago The sentimental fool don't see Tryin' hard to recreate What had yet to be created once in her life She musters a smile For his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say Only to realize It never really was She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him Somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday somewhere she will return She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing There's nothing at all But what a fool believes he sees No wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing |

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game Two people vow to stay In love as one they say But all is changed with time The future no one can see The road you leave behind Ahead lies mystery But all is fair in love I had to go away A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair All of fate's a chance It's either good or bad I tossed my coin to say In love with me you'd stay But all in war is so cold You either win or lose When all is put away The loosing side I'll play But all is fair in love I should never have left your side A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair A writer takes his pen To write the words again That all in love is fair |

Oh yeah! When you see me smile You know things have gotten worse Any smile you might see, darlin' Has all been rehearsed Darlin', I can't go on living without you This emptiness won't let me live without you Loneliness inside me, baby Makes me feel half alive Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' Baby, I need your lovin' Got to have all your lovin' |
