Peter Cetera

All we wanted was each other; nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. i knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.

Chorus:
Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.

Had some crazy conversations. you know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.

Chorus

Used to think that you'd do anything for me.
I thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems that things aren't right.
You've been crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy season just ain't slowing down.
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been running away.
Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
There's someone watching tonight.


You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked it out a thousand time.
It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made your point now why can't I make mine?
I still love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away.
Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's a heart still left inside.
You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.

She said, "Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why
It's just something you could do without. You better try, try try
She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't call you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie


Bad advice had me down and undone
Got to try again to believe in myself
Look at me, I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling, falling down
I said, "Mama can you get it straight
She said "Why, why, why
I wanna tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try
She said, "I don't care where you might have gone.
I don't care 'cause you've done me wrong.
You been doin' it far too long
So goodbye, bye, bye


She said "Tell me what it's all about." I said, "Why, why, why
It's just something you can do without. You better try, try, try
I can't reach you on the telephone.
I can't call you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone. That's a lie, lie, lie

I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that I've been walking fences,
Denied what I have known.


I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.


I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone.


I carry chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.

Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just the part of me
I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been
said and done
You're just the part of me
I can't let go
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

You're gonna be the lucky one

When we get there gonna
jump in the air
No one'll see us cause there's
nobody there
After all you know we
really don't care
Hold on
I'm gonna take you there

One shoe on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's supposed to be easy.
Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where you are, and where you're going to.

Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me; don't need nobody else.
Follow me; and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.


One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as good as we make it.
Dark reflections of the past
Drown in our tomorrows.
Time to laugh; time to love;
Time to live again.

You had it so good for so long
You thought you were so very strong
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon

You thought you could never be wrong
She would always buy your song
What a sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes a chance
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
And you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

If you're so afraid to be loved
Because you see too much
What a sad, sad story
But you brought it upon yourself

You gave it all up for fun
Now you got nowhere to run
With your sad, sad story
It's an age old story

Every man will get his chance
To play the fool
Every time he takes his chances
And thinks he's cool

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice

Now you don't know what to do
When it all comes down to you

Don't think that she don't care
'Bout your Saturday night affair
And you better watch out
Somebody is gonna be there

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

Sonny think twice
Before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can't take much more
Something about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone

Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.

What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die?
Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.

After he hurt you, you said you were leaving;
you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you,
you weren't believin'; you've certainly
heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's makin'
me mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.


I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken,
it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more
than you've taken; you've come to the end of
the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's makin' me
mad.
Say the word and I will rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
(Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say;
blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.

I just can't take it when your feeling so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say;
blues are on the run and
help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word, say the word
Say the word and I will rescue you.
Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
You know that help is on the way

She said, "It's lonely here tonight
She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, "I need you here tonight."
She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back.
Can't you see I need you much more than
yesterday


You know it's always cold at night;
it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want,
knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see
I need you more than any words can
say
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,
"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me
Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see
I need you much more than
yesterday?"
Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday.

Old days
Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasures
Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back
To a world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure
Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
Take me back
To a world gone away
Boyhood memories
Seem like yesterday

Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me
Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay
Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away
Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free
Old days - days of magic still so close to me

Right before my very eyes, I thought that you were only faking it.
And right before my heart was taken in.
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

Yesterday it seemed to me my life was nothing more than wasting time.
But here today you slowly changed my mind
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

Just to be alone was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay.
You love me in the morns, you love me in the afternoons
Help me find my way.

Now and then just like before I think about the love I've thrown away.
But now it doesn't matter anyway.
Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.

What Kind Of Man Would I Be? - Chicago

Girl, well it's been one of those days again
And it seems like the harder I try
Over and over, I'm right back where I began
But you understand

Oh girl, when nothing else in this world goes right
Oh I just want to run to you
You'll pull me through
Oh baby, who wouldn't want to have you in their life?

Tell me, what kind of man would I be
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me
But if I had to live without you
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Times when it was pointless for me to try
I was more than a desperate man
What seemed like forever was gone with one touch of your hand

Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights
When you were there for me
A fool could see, oh baby
Once that I found you there was no letting go

Tell me, what kind of man would I be
Living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me
But if I had to live without you
Tell me what kind of man would I be?

Repeat

As my life goes on I believe
Somehow something's changed
Something deep inside
A part of me

There's a strange new light in my eyes
Things I've never known
Changing my life
Changing me

I've been searchin
So long
To find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning

Now I see myself as I am
Feeling very free
Life is everything
It's meant to be

When my days have come to an end
I will understand
What I left behind
Part of me

I've been searching
So long
To find and answer
Now I know my life has meaning

Searching
For an answer
To the question
Who Am I?
Maybe
It's only natural
Good things
In life
Take a long time

Thought it wouldn't matter
If we didn't stay together
And if it was over
Maybe it was for the better

I was thinking I'd be alright
Till I thought it all through
Now I know that I ain't really living
If I have to live without you

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Guess I had to go away
So much I had to go through
Guess I had to lose you
To realize how much I love you
Can we make the fire burn again,
Burn a little stronger?
'Cause I've been alone and baby
I can't be alone now any longer

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Oh, if I had to make it on my own
my life would never be the same
my love would never be the same
I don't wanna live without your love

I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna face the night alone
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own
I don't wanna love nobody else
I don't wanna find somebody new
I don't wanna live without your love
I just wanna live my life with you

Repeat

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights againnst the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

[Guitar break]

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart


Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...

There's a time when the heart can no longer give in
You try to stand up and fight
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all you're feeling
How can you go on
But the memories of the times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you


You can never take back all you've given in love
No matter how hard you try
Once it's over and done you just have to let go
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the love we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
If it were you
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
Over and over I go back through time
Didn't we promise our love till we die
Asking you deep down inside
Did we really try
Another broken heart is all that's left
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)

I picture you on the beach
Lying in the sand
Out of reach of my trembling hands
I picture you in a car
Blonde hair in the wind
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
(Chorus)
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
I have no defenses
You come to my senses


Driving home in the cold
January rain
I've got to find my way out of this pain
I reached for you in the night
I dreamed of your kiss
I woke before it got light
With your name on my lips
Alone in my bed
Your voice in my head
(Chorus)
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
Oh, I have no defenses
You come to my senses
Ah...

The sun is coming up
But I don't see the light
I keep goin' on and on
Thinking 'bout where we went wrong
I've always heard that love
Could stand the test of time
But somethin' that we had is gone
Maybe we just stayed too long
I wish that I could lie
And tell myself it's alright
It was nothing at all
(Chorus)
Somebody, somewhere
Is falling in love tonight
Is it nothing at all
Somebody, somewhere
Is saying their last goodbyes
I gotta know
Is it the same when it comes
And when love goes


Where do I go from here
Don't know where to turn
Will you find another face
Or disappear in yesterday
Should I hold on
Should I let all the memories go
Was it nothing at all
(Chorus)
She comes and goes...
(Chorus)

All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for


At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)

I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face


It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take

Did the best I could
To make you mine
If you ever felt anything for me
Well, you never gave a sign

Thought time would make you change
Make you want me
But baby I never had a chance
Now I know that there's just some things
Just not meant to be

CHORUS

No use
Making you care about me
No way
That I'm gonna win
Oh darlin'
I might as well be
Chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just
Chasin' the wind

Opened up my heart
Let you inside
If love was what you were lookin' for
Well, I guess it wasn't mine

So I guess I better go
It's over and done
But you know I'm not really sad at all
'Cause you can't really say it's over
When it never had begun

CHORUS

Can't reach the sea
If you can't get past the sand
Can't touch the sky
If you can't reach up your hand
Can't give if you give nothing back

CHORUS

Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today


Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)

Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me


Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me

Only Time Can Heal The Wounded

You hear a sound as she's leaving
You'll hear your heart pound so hard
You'll miss her warm touch and the way things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken
And you still can't let her go
Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go
You'll take a long ride without her
Until the tears dry away
In every way you try to reason
When there's no reason left to hold
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal


Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal
Only time can heal the wounded of love
There's no heart that time can't heal

I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love


I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)

Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(chorus)
Holdin' on
'cause the memory of you
Is something i just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way

So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(chorus)

CHICAGO, CHICAGO, that toddlin' town
CHICAGO, CHICAGO, I'll show you around (You'll stay around)
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in
CHICAGO, CHICAGO, the folks who visit
All wanna settle down. (All wanna settle down in my hometown)
On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say,
They do things they don't do on Broadway,
You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown.
(Hey now baby--)

(Oooh baby)
You'll have the time, the time of your life
Bring all your friends, all your kids and your wife to
CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown.
Oh, to CHICAGO, CHICAGO my hometown (yeah)

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our CARAVAN.
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
The mem'ry of our CARAVAN.
This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert CARAVAN.

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms
Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our CARAVAN.

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Just say good night and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, my dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

(Hey, got yourself a good thing, it's a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go.)

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody Goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
Goody Goody!
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you.
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night,
Goody Goody!
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah!
You had it comin' to ya.
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.

(Good thing, got yourself a good thing
It's a good thing, got yourself a good thing
I won't let you go.)

So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody Goody!
So you met somebody and now you know how it feels,
Goody Goody!
So you gave him your heart too just as I gave mine to you.
And he stuck it in his collection, section ninety-two.

So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night,
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah!
You had it comin' to ya.
Goody Goody for him, Goody Goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.

Stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming,
My love, do you know that your eyes
are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you
A Moonlight Serenade.
Let us stray till break of day
In love's valley of dreams,
You and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A Moonlight Serenade.

We can stay till break of day
In love's valley of dreams,
You and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze kisses the trees.
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June light.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
A love song, my darling,
A Moonlight Serenade.

Night and day, you are the one;
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter darlin', where you are;
I think of you, night and day.

Night and day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever i go.
In the roaring traffic's boom;
In the silence of my lonely room;I think of you, night and day.

Night and day, under the hide of me,
There's an old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and night, night and day

My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants,
My mama done told me, she said Son!
A woman will sweet-talk ya, she'll give you the big eye,
But when that sweet talkin' is done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the Blues In The Night.

Now the rain's a fallin', hear the train a callin', whoo-ee,
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo-ee,
Whoo-ee-a-whoo-ee, ol' clickety-clack
I'm back on the track of Blues In The Night

The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'
And the moonlight'll hide its light,
When you get the Blues In The Night.

Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song,
He knows things are wrong and he's right.
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds seem to blow,
I've been in some big towns and I've heard me some big talkin',
But there is one thing I know,
A woman's a two-face, she's a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the Blues In The Night.

(Got a case of the Blues In The Night, don't know what to do
Blues every night...)

Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick with us we'll have a ball.
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around we'll have it all.
Music brightens up the day
Now, if you like it we will stay.
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody's got to sing
Stick around, shake it down.

They say into your early life romance came,
And in this heart of yours burned a flame,
A flame that flickered one day and died away,
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes,
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise,
The years have changed you, somehow;
I see you now...
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow,
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, Sophisticated Lady, I know,
You miss the love you lost long ago,
And when nobody is nigh you cry.

Is that all you really want?
No, Sophisticated Lady, I know,
You miss the heart you lost long ago,
And when nobody is nigh you cry.

No, Sophisticated Lady, you cry.

Always been the kind of girl to hold it back,
When you know that you want to;
Someone always had to tell you where it's at;
Now you know that you want to.
Somethin' in the music's gonna make you move.
Now you know that you want to;
The rhythm's gonna put the woman In The Mood,
Now you definitely want to.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourselves an attitude.
In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourself an attitude.

In The Mood, In The Mood,
In the groove, In The Mood;
You've got yourself an attitude.

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories.

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
It's awfully diff'rent without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Come on down, Let's take the A train
To take a little ride around the city.
Brooklyn, Oh and Broadway train,
You'll see that old New York is kinda pretty

Take your baby subway riding,
That's where romance may be hiding.
Take, you should take the A train,
To get to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem.

Come on, baby, come on board the A train,
that's the way you get to Sugar Hill in Harlem.
And if you get aboard the A train,
You get to Sugar Hill and in a hurry

Listen here, Listen to the train a-comin
Hear the rails a-hummin
(Let's take a ride)
Climb aboard, Climb aboard the A train
To take a little ride around the city
All Aboard

Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
(Fake Italian lyric)
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For Saturday

Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
You'd think it was the Fourth of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar
Singing for us all
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For today

Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost
All is not lost

Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the Fourth of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration
Waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it (yes, I can)
And I've been waiting such a long time
For the day

Here I go again
Driving to the edge of town
Need to be alone when I'm thinking
With no one else around
I've always been a dreamer
And from here I dream a lot
And now I see the end of Camelot

*If anyone could have a change of heart
Maybe you could change your mind
But if you're giving up - If you're letting go
Don't let me be the last to know

Here I go again
Walking down the same old streets
I don't wanna see anybody
I wanna be discreet

I'm a firm believer
And I once believed in you
But now I can't believe all the things
You're putting me through

*Repeat

I'm not thinking straight - I'm not feeling great
I'm not sleeping too well
I'm not doing what I know I can - I can't help myself
Only time will tell

*Repeat

Some say it's just the nature of the beast
When you love somebody so passionately
Time has a way of stealing
That raging fire you're feeling
Leaving the ashes laying at your feet

Those fools of little faith will never know
Those higher places two hearts can go
Where time is standing still
And love will burn until
The heaven and the earth have come and gone

This fire inside for you
Is constant as the morning star
And you will be
Forever in my heart
As long as there's a river
Searching for an endless sea
I will always love you - Faithfully

Tonight we'll raise a glass to lovers
Across the ages
We'll hold eahc other and toast to the day
When history's said and done
And we'll still stand as one
Something's were never meant to fade away

This fire inside for you
Is constant as the morning star
And you will be
Forever in my heart
As long as there's a river
Searching for an endless sea
I will always love you - Faithfully

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough
I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been loving you enough, oh baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one
I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do
When you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for real

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

I remember when you were born
I felt like one lucky
Son of a gun

And when you turned into two
I was so happy
When you said I love you

Held you in my arms so tight
I'd never forget
The best years of my life

*Apple of your daddy's eye
Wanna be the one to hold you in the night
Apple of your daddy's eye
Oh, oh sleep tight
Don't you worry gonna be alright

I remember when you were three
You were so lovely
So very pretty

And when you turned into four
I finally realized
What God put her here for

*Repeat

If I had my way
Time would stand still
You'd stay as sweet as you are
But time waits for no one
It never will
Your gonna leave me soon enough
I'm just sad 'cause you're growing up

Held you in my arms so tight
I'd never forget
The best years of my life

*Repeat

Don't stop ever lovin' me because
You're the apple of your daddy's eye

*Repeat and fade

The whole world is talking
Drowning out my voice
How can I hear myself
With all this noise
But all this confusion
Just disappears
When I find a quiet place
Where I can hear

*One clear voice
Calling out for me to listen
One clear voice
Whispers words of wisdom
I close my eyes
'Till I find what I've been missing
If I'm very still, I will hear
One clear voice

I'm always searching
For which path to take
Sometimes I'm so afraid
To make mistakes
From somewhere inside me
Stronger than my fears
Just like the sound of music
To my ears, I hear

*Repeat

I wanna be there
When you turn out the lights
I wanna be there

But I'm here on this lonely highway
In the middle of nowhere

I wanna hold you
If you wake up in the night
I wanna hold you

I wanna be there in the morning
I wanna touch you
'Cause you know tonight
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
I'm not the same when you're not here with me
Close your eyes and say a little prayed
And baby I'm gonna be there

I wanna be there
I wanna be there
Wanna be there in the morning
Oh, I wanna be there

Sometimes you're sentimental
I know exactly what to do
And if I'm temperamental
You calm me down and you pull me through

*We are the lucky ones
We have one another
When the end of the day has come
I return to you

Life can be so demanding
Sometimes it's hard to make it through
It's love and understanding
You give to me, I give to you

*Repeat

Our own fairy tale
Our favorite bedtime story
One that we won't forget
We fell in love
We knew from the start
We'd always be together
The first time that we met
Can't forget

*Repeat

All alone in the setting sun
I'll have you and you'll have me

Since you went away
Can't face the day
Just can't face it on my own
Try to be strong, try to carry on
With a broken heart in an empty home

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
I'm still getting over you

I begged you not to leave
I asked you not to run away
Oh but you wouldn't listen
I couldn't change your mind
So you left me here behind
Oh how I miss your touch
And your tender kissing
Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Deep down inside I hate to admit it's true
But I'm still getting over you

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
There's nothing I can do
I'm still getting over you

Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
Used to be so good

So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me
S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me
S.O.S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
You seem so far away - though you are standing near
You made me feel alive but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love
It used to be so good

Where did you go - why did you run
What did you need from me you felt we were missing
Now you never write - and you never call

What did you want - I couldn't give
You should've told me baby I would have listened
Why did you leave - when we had it all

And I think of you
Yes I think of you

Everywhere I go - anytime of the day
Every move I make - every word that I say
If I let myself I get carried away
When I think of you
I still think of you

Time on my hands doesn't seem right
I'll never get used to this single life
And now I wonder what you're doing tonight

(bridge)
We got away from it all
In a house upon the hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Merely by chance
Very unsuspecting
You caught my heart
Unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you

Just when I thought
Life was free and easy
You came along to me
Soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you

*And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand
Now that I'm a happy man

Be with me now
Love me forever
Leaving you lady
Is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you

All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you
I've fallen in love with you

*Repeat

Little White House in a little old town
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Stars shine bright when the sun goes down
it's a perfect world as long as you're there

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Blue sky over fields of green
I'm as happy as i've ever been
One thing makes it all so clear
it's a perfect world as long as you're there

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up every morning
The Sun is shining upon your hair
when you're lying next to me
and it's where I wanna be

Don't wanna live near the lights of the city
I like it right where I am
just to be part of a woman in love
with the heart of a simple man
[mhmhmhmm]
Count my blessings and save my prayers
love waking up in the morning
sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Count my blessings and save my prayers
love waking up in the morning
the sun is shining upon your hair
when you're lying next to me
And it's where I wanna be.

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Threw out my old raincoat
Set sail without a boat
For places somewhere far beyond my dreams
As the sky came pouring down
I lay down on the ground
Like I was dreaming, I let the feeling wash all over me

Rain Love Covered around me
Rain Rain Love Finally found me
This time you're gonna recognise
One drop will open up your eyes
Rain Love

It's the colour of every sky
It's the way to change the tide
When the world is crumbling down on you and me
It's the calm that lifts the storm
It's the promise that keeps you warm
When you don't understand, just touch the guiding hand that comforts me

Rain Love...

Takes this lot to make you realise
No greater love could ever fill the sky

Rain Love....

See the color of roses
Sail across America
I couldn't wait to find you
I'm looking for a miracle
And somewhere out of the blue
In the heart of getting by

*It only takes a second to learn
It only takes a second to hurt
And it's just like love to be the hardest thing
It's just like love to be everything (Repeat)

An illusion of laughter
Lost in a desert sky
That's how I feel without you
I can't take another night
Somewhere out of the blue
From my heart and in your eyes

*Repeat

Oh I can feel it all
Right or wrong I'm here
Here for you

*Repeat to fade

Here I go again
hanging on till the bitter end
all alone
nothing left to lose
don't wanna face tomorrow
I can't sleep tonight
I blame it on the wheather
till I get over you.

Feels like rain
feels like we'll never fall in
love again
there's a cold wind blowing
every cloud my way
And it Feels Like Rain today

Takin out every picture
hangin on every wall
broken dreams, painfull memories
Like the times I'd never listened
And the times I'd dreamed and tried
it's gotta be the weather
cuz you're not here with me

Feels like rain
feels like we'll never fall in
love again
there's a cold wind blowing
every cloud my way
And it Feels Like Rain today

Regretting every minute
since I lost you all the way
cuz it's not the same without you
And now the clouds are hiding every summer day
I guess I'll stay inside again
cuz it feels like rain today

Feels like rain
feels like we'll never fall in
love again
there's a cold wind blowing
every cloud my way
And the clouds are hiding every summer day
and the storm is coming
so I'm here to stay
cuz it feels like rain today

Every time I wake up somewhere faraway
Counting all the minutes back to yesterday
I wonder what you're doing, do you feel this way
Are you thinking of me too

Looking in the mirror all I wanna see
Is your pretty face smilling back at me
There's nowhere in the world that I would rather be
Than to be back home with you

(Chorus)
I'm on my way, I promise you that I won't be long
I just called, called you to say
I've missed every little moment without you
And I can't wait for us to be alone
I'm almost in your arms, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

At night when I'm alone I really miss your touch
I hold on to your picture and it means so much
To know that there is someone out there just for me
And do you feel the same way too

Everywhere I go I wish that you were there
Everything I do I wish that we could share
Everywhere I go- makes me miss you so

(chorus)

I can touch you anytime I close my eyes
Baby, you can feel it, if you just believe
I'm coming home

(Chorus)

From album "Another Perfect World" (2001)

I get high when I see you go by
My oh my.
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies,
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.

Is it right that you and I should fight
Ev'ry night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you

There's a garden of hope
In a town called faith
And the state of Happiness
Is not far away
From the country of wants and the sea of needs
I'll take you there with me

Someday when i rule the world
Gonna stand by you
Love you all i can
You're beautiful
The reason i believe
Dont give up on me
I'll make it wonderful
When I rule the world

When I look into your eyes
Oohh it just amazes me
And the way I feel inside
When your changing me
Through the sweat and the tears
Moving step by step
I'll do anything for you

Someday when I...

High, High above it all
In the sky you promised I choose to stand
Stand by you I'll stand by you

Someday when I....

the reason I believe
Oh don't give up on me
I'll make it wonderful when I rule te World

Dry those tears
From your eyes
Maybe I can help you
A few more hours until the light
And I will hold you
You've waited patiently
Don't ever doubt your faith in me
Baby, hold on a little longer

Chorus:
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith

Even now my heart has wings
I can't wait to see you
As I lie beside you in my dreams
I can't wait to touch you
Tonight my body lives
To cross the miles, to kiss your lips
Baby, hold on a little longer

Chorus:
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith
Have a little faith in me right now

Repeat chorus and fade

Why ask Why
Show yourself some mercy
Don't be shy
You don't have to look away
It's allright
You don't have to know the answers
In your heart you know you'll do
The Very best you can

Sail away tonight, on the ocean of forgiveness
We cannot decide which way the wind will blow
Baby close your eyes, let go of tomorrow
Some things in life, only heaven knows.

Face the sky, like I never heard you
Live your life you don't have to be afraid
Here inside are those who trully love you
Theres nothing you can ever do
To make them turn away

Sail away tonight...

Us now baby
Oohh now and don't you cry
Say a little prayer to heaven
And I will sing a lullaby

Sail Away tonight...

Things get bad, times get tough
Everybody knows
You gotta be a little stronger
Just to have the things you need
Everybody knows
If you try a little harder
You're gonna live a whole lot longer

Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
Going out and stayin' far too long

(chorus)
You got to believe in something
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone
When you have faith in someone
These are the best of times

Don't give up, can't give in
Never lose a minute
It's a long hard road back from nowhere
Love is not what you take out
It's what you put back in it
Take you chance, there's no doubt
Everything will all work out

See my way, I know where I'm goin'
I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
I want it all as soon as I can
Right where I am

chorus

I am so in love with you
I just can't deny it
Everybody knows I can't deny it
Everybody knows
You can read me like a book
Just like a fortune teller
Everybody needs a fortune tller
Telling you the very truth

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You bring out the best in me
With love and understanding
Anytime I need some understanding
You are always there

And if I ever lose my way
You're always there to guide me
Anyone can see you're here inside me
Anyone can see it

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
Love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

This is our time, we have it all
We have a way of knowing if we're heading for a fall
We'll work it out and get it right
And when I get home to you
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

This is our time, we have it all
When I come home at night
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
Love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

Repeat

Every time I have it made
I let it rain on my parade
I need a star that doesn't fade
When I open my eyes
Everything is clear to see
You've given me a destiny
I know there's something left for me
And I found it this time

(chorus)
I don't want it all, I just want a little bit
And I'll never stop 'til I get to it

Being with a woman like you
Is all I ever wanted to do
Give me something I can hold on to
Then I'll have it all

Find a little place in the sun
Won't you tell me I'm the chosen one
Say you need me when the day is done
Then I'll have enough
To get me through my life

chorus

I never will reget it
'Cause I'm having the time of my life
I can fly on the wings of our love here in the night
Oh, it hurts if I let it
But it's something I'd rather forget
Now the past isn't holding me down
Oh, don't you know
I've learned to let it go

Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of
(chorus)
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space

chorus

When she came to me she opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
And I can't go on

repeat

Man all alone, caught in raging water
Man overboard, caught in a terrible storm
Throw me the rope, pull me out of trouble
I need someone, someone to keep me warm

Why don't you save me
I'm burning with desire
Why won't you save me
Don't leave me all alone
And it's all right
Wrap me up, baby won't you take me home

Forty below, high up a lonely mountain
Slipping down, baby I'm sinking fast
Throw me the rope, pull me out of this trouble
S.O.S. don't think I'm gonna last

Why don't you save me
I'm burning with desire
Why won't you save me
Come on hold me tight
And it's all right
Don't you know we're gonna have fun tonight

There's nothing outside my window
But the sound of the pouring rain
It oughta be breaking my heart
But I feel no pain
Trying to pick up the station
That'll carry me through this night
Got a fire to keep me warm
'Til I got you in my arms

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

Girl, I've been dreaming about you
For the better part of my life
At least I can make it without you
One more night

I'm not afraid of the thunder
I won't run away from the storm
Let the stars fall down and break
I don't care how long it takes

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

There's no other love in the world
I could want any more

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

Moment by moment, day after day
Trying your best to forget
It's all behind you, it's part of the past
You've got no time for regrets
Time to start over with somebody new
You've got nothing more to lose
Out for the evening, dressed for the kill
Leaving your troubles behind
Dangerous places, dangerous times
Leave with the first one you find
Live for the moment, who cares if it's right
Who needs tomorrow, you've got tonight

There in the dark, under covers of love
Body language is taking you somewhere you shouldn't go
First name the last thing that you need to know

In the morning you're out on the street
Now's not the time for regrets
Some things are done for the thrill of it all
Some things you'll never forget
Live for the moment, who cares if it's right
Who needs tomorrow when you've got tonight

There in the dark, under covers of love
Body language is taking you somewhere you shouldn't go
First name the last thing that you need to know

You say not now, it's too late
Now's not the time, it can wait
You never listen to me
Some things are hard to forget
It's time to do something you might regret
You never listen to me

I think that you must be blind
Havn't you noticed that I'm not around
Waisting your precious time

All that I want
Is knowing that someone will notice me
I can't go on
Knowing that you never bother to listen to me

Losing the will to survive< BR>You never act like you know I'm alive
You never listen to me

All that I need
Is knowing that someone remembers me
I can't go on
Knowing that you never bother to listen to me

He was the sultan of Samarcand
He had a harem of dancing girls at his command
He owned all the eye could see
Something was wrong, he wasn't happy
And then it happened much to his surprise
The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
He asked her name and she replied
Scheherazade

She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier
A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere
She made a date with destiny
Marry the king, make him happy

He was enchanted on their wedding night
Just a captive under her spell
Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights

All of his body tingled with delight
Hearing the stories she loved to tell
She was a vision, such a lovely sight
Scheherazade

He made a promise on the morning star
He would change, throw away his scimitar
So she came to stay
And that's the why the story goes
Until this very day

One more story
Then it's time for bed
One more fairy tale
Then rest your weary head
One more kiss, I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Go to sleep now
You've had a busy day
Hold me in your dreams
I won't be far away
One more kiss then I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the mo rning
Close your eyes, say goodnight

I can't believe just how fast you're growing
I'm gonna cry when you're old enough
To go and be on your own
But until that very moment
Everything's gonna be all right
You'll still be here when I wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Everything's gonna be all right

Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous
Cause we're so far from home
So this is what we do
Sit back and let us groove
And let us work on you

We've all spent years preparing
before this band was born
With heaven's help it blended
And we do thank the lord

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what
The time was that was on my watch, yeah...And I said

(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me
And said her diamond watch
had stopped cold dead...And I said

(I don't)
Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to
Beat the clock, oh, no I just don't know
I don't know, and I said, yes I said

(Background:)
People runnin' everywhere
Don't know where to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have time to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why

(I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is
(Care) Does anybody really care (about time)
If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no)
We've all got time enough to die
Everybody's working (I don't)
I don't care (About time)
About time (Oh no, no) I don't care

When I'm with you,
it doesn't matter where we are,
or what we're doing
I'm with you, that's all that matters

Time passes much too quickly
when we're together laughing
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no
I wish I could sing it to you

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mostly I'm silent,
mm-hm-hm-hm...Silent, la la la la la
Never think of the right words to say

When I kiss you,
I feel a thousand different feelings
The color of chills all over my body,
yeah, yeah, yeah

And when I feel them,
I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words,
oh no, try to put into words

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mostly I'm silent...Silent...
La la la la la la la la la la

Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
Yeah, oh, oh, whoa
Yes, only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
Only the beginning, only just the start, yeah
I've got to get you into my life mama,
I've got to get you next to me
Only the beginning, only just the start
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...Mmm-hmmm...

Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, happen just today, some way

I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing

Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other faces fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, leavin' just a burnin' love

I'd like to know
Can you tell me; please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby

Can this lovin' we have found within us
Oooh, suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Oooh, was it just a natural thing

I'd like to know
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind,
as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby
Questions 67 and 68

Listen
If you think that we're here for the money
You could be right, you know-ow-ow-ow
But the bread is not too good here
Well, that all was a-natural
I said all you got to do is listen

Listen
If you don't hear it you can tell us
If it's good you can tell us all
Or you can smile, that's alright my friend
It could be so nice, you know
If only you would listen

Listen
If you don't understand it, no no no no
You got to try to fly
And don't you put me down, please
For creating beyond your mind
I said all you got to do is listen

The way you talk
The things you've done
Make me wish I
Was the only one
Who could ever have made you laugh now
Could have made you
Made you want to cry
To have been there the day
You first whispered "I love you"
Yes I love you

When you discovered
All those new things
And when you first
First met the world
When you felt beautiful
And you said hello
To everything you saw
If I could have been all
So I could have known you all those times
I love you
Yes, I love you
Yes I do

Cloudy every morning
Sun don't never shine
Cloudy every morning
Sun don't ever shine
Since I lost my baby
I been losing my mind

I thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
Thought this was a warm place
I must be in the wrong place
And I don't know where I'm going
Since my lover left me
Never no smile on my face

I am he is you are he is you are me
and we are all together, whoa whoa

Buddy, ain't this LA?
I've traveled such a long way
Buddy, ain't this LA?
I've traveled such a long way
And I still don't know where I'm going
But without my baby here
I better not stay
I better not stay
No, whoa, no

Well my Daddy sent a message
'bout the whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems
'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
'cause my time is all used up
I spend that time creatin'
For some groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I'd rather be content
Being closer to the chatter
Than where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How strong your love will be
'cept that only sometimes
groovy chicks you see

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

I've got to keep my image
While I'm standing on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep her on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I've never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Oh God I love you so,
I love you so

If I had my choice of matter
I'd rather be content
Playing closer to the chest
Knowin' where your mind is at
While relating to each other
How good your love can be
Resisting only sometimes groovy chicks you see

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

I gotta keep my image
While I'm standin' on the floor
If I drop upon my knees
It's just to keep them on my nose
You think that I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
But I never had no problems
And my body's pretty strong

I'm a man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so
Man, yes I am,
and I can't help but love you so

Would you look around you now
And tell me what you see
Faces full of hate and fear
Faces full of me
Do you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
Do you know what I mean

Run, you better, run you know
The end is getting near
Feel the wind of something hard
Come whistling past your ear
As they try to get you
Where it will upset you down
Now you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long
We've been waiting for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

Twist and turn your head around
'Till everything's unclear
Twist and turn your arm around
Until it is not there
And they'd love to burn you
Or at least to turn you around
Now you know what I mean

Can you look around you now
And tell us what's to be
Can you look inside yourself
And tell us what you see
As you feel the rumblings
As your head comes crumbling down
And you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long
We've waited for the time
To show you how we've died
To get together with you all

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
No baby please don't go
Girl I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
Oh girl, just got to have you by my side

No baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin, yeah

Oh my reasons
And my ways
Keep on changing
From day to day
As i grow
It becomes so clear
Why i'm here

It's all here
For you and me
The beauty of life
Someday you'll see
Then you'll join in
And sing along
And you'll understand why i sing this song
Let me tell you now
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you

Well i'm talkin' bout life
And livin'
And the beautiful earth
And givin'
Talkin 'bout the natural things we've had since birth
That's lovin'
Well i'm talkin' 'bout a walk in the country
Mother nature's sweet charm
The smell of her perfume
As we walk arm in arm
Let me tell you now
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you

Well it's a beautiful day
And i'm on my way
Oooh, thank you lord, for the country

Well my thoughts
Are like ripples in a stream
I see myself so free
My eyes and spirit say hello
My soul goes dancing by, oh hello

The clean fresh air
Goes jumping through my head
The sun is smilin' down
If you have ever lived out here
Then you know why i say
I do love you
I do love you
I do love you

So come on let's move
Out to the country
Yeah, let's go live out there
Come on people
Come on people
Yeah, let's be free
We got to be free
In the country
You and me
Come on people
Come on people
Better have a good time
We'll have a good time
We got to be free

Going where the orange sun has never died
And your swirling marble eyes shine
Laughing
Burning blue the light
Bittersweet the drops of life
Memories only fading

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever did see
When we're down at the sea
We see things so very clear at the sea

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever can do
The morning covered with dew
We do things so very fine in the dew

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever do hear
But whether we're here or there
We hear things so very fine when we're there

Sing a mean tune, kid
Sock 'em in the gut, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you ever let your mama catch you cryin'

Play the bad song, kid
Everyone's the blues yeah, yeah, yeah

What a scary song, kid
Never heard before yeah, yeah, yeah
Soon the groupies will start rolling by your door

Burn the groove to death, kid
Nail 'em to the cross yeah, yeah, yeah
Till you're not a super pop star any more

Beginnings

When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are,
Or what we're doing. I'm with you, that's all that matters.
Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing.
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no,
I wish I could sing it to you.
Mostly I'm silent.
Never think about words to say.


When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings.
The color of chills all over my body.
And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no,
Try to put into words.
Mostly I'm silent.


Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.
I've got to get you into my life.
Got to get you next to me.
Only the beginning. Only just the start.

Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

Hey there everybody
Please don't romp or roam
We're a little nervous

So this is what we do
Sit back and let us groove
And let us work on you
We've all spent years preparing
before this band was born
With heaven's help it blended
And we do thank the lord.
Now we put you through the changes
And turned around the mood
We hope it's struck you different
And hope you feel moved
So forget about your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you

Driving down the concrete beams
Looking around and it now seems
Mama earth is nowhere
Gone from your eyes
Hidden in the crust
Of man's scientific dreams
She is gone

Natural man took her natural face
Made it a strange and alien place
You can't bear to look
'cause she ain't there
Our mother has been raped
And left to die in disgrace
She is gone
