Vonda Shepard (born July 7, 1963) is an American pop/rock singer. She appeared as a regular in the television show Ally McBeal from seasons 1-5 in which she played a resident performer at the bar where the show's characters drank after work. She plays piano, guitar, and bass.
Vonda Shepard was born in New York but her family relocated to California when she was a child. She played piano from an early age. Her father is Richmond Shepard, a mime and improv actor. Vonda has three sisters: Armina, Rosetta (now Brianna) and Luana.
After performing as a backing singer for many years she was eventually given her own recording contract. Shepard's first chart appearance was in 1987 when she recorded a duet with Dan Hill entitled "Can't We Try". Before this she tried out for the part of Michael J. Fox's sister in Light of Day but lost the part out to Joan Jett. She was also poised to sing on Peter Cetera's duet "The Next Time I Fall" but he picked Amy Grant instead. She released her first self-titled album in 1989 with little fanfare. The album did yield one chart single, "Don't Cry Ilene", a mid-tempo, piano-driven jazz-R&B flavored song dealing with the break-up of a relationship between a black woman and a white man, arising from adult peer pressure. The track is sung from the perspective of the woman's white female friend, who harbors a desire to have the man for herself, but keeps her distance out of respect for her friend. The song peaked at Number 17 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart and stayed on the charts for 12 weeks.
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
Where I hide withe my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And raindrops hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay
With my lonelinessI don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in awhile
I will see my true love smile, yeah
He may come, I know not when
But when he does I'll know
So baby until then lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
Where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in awhile
I will see my true love smile
He may come, I know not when
But when he does I'll know
So baby until then lock me away
And don't allow the day here inside
Where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I seem to walk on ice
Some things make me think twice
When I get that resistance
Like having freedom with my hands tied
I've censored what's inside way too long
I can't live so black and white
Somebody listen
Somebody say what's on your mind
I've got the wheels of the reckless
I'm gonna scream on the edges
Wake up the house start the clock work
Turn on the lights anybody home
Break all the glass on my windows
Wake up the house so I'm not alone
Disturb this neighborhood
Maybe it'll do some good
You know what I'm missing
When everybody's asleep at night
Somebody's got to tlak
Might as well be my job yeah
Maybe somebody's listening
You know I've censored this heart too long
I've got the wheels of the restless
I'm gonna scream on the edges
Wake up the house start the clock work
Turn on all the lights anybody home
Break all the glass on my windows
Wake up the house so I'm not alone
I can't live so black and white
You know what I'm missing
Something's making me think twice
Is anybody listening?
See the pyramids along the nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember that all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so lonesome wothout you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again

Lyrics by Vonda Shepard
I guess you sunk in
Oh yeah you made it in
Now I'm fumbling somewhere deep within
Will I raise my glass
Or will you kick my ass?
Will we fall down laughing, laughing?
I know love is pain
I know your life's insane
I want you anyway
I'll probably complain
Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you're really after
I'm tumbling inside this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing ...
Wil you marry me?
Strange behavior from my savior
You yank me up and down
Just like a yo-yo
Do you love me?
You're an anomaly
Or maybe you are just
Unbelievably ordinary
Why would I subject myself to this kind of disaster?
A respectable ball and chain is all you're really after
I'm tumbling inside this reeling feeling coming over me
Will you ever decide? So unrevealing ...
Will you marry me?
I'm tumbling inside, I'm happiest when you are next to me
But I'm still on the outside ...
Am I obsessed or
Will you marry me?
Lyrics by Don Black
Music by Marc London
The time has come
For closing books, and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong
That's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I, would rather let me give my heart
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well it's not easy
But I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To you, with love
Those awkward years have hurried by
Why did they fly, fly away
Why is it Sir children, grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing tres and dirty knees in the world outside?
What, what is there that I can buy?
If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
These words withe letters ten feet tall
To you, With love
Oh, this old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I feel you're gonna stay
Lonely nights that come,
Memories that flow
Bringing you back again,
Hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going, but I
I love you,
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
These old arms of mine
Miss having you around
Makes these tears inside
Start falling down, well
Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
So I try to control myself
Like I'm gonna start fainting, cause my heart stops beating, cause I
I love you,
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
Oh I try to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always makes me cry
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're in for the day, gone for the week, now
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it,
Tell the world about it, cause I
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
I kissed this man with one of my lips
I bumped this man with one of my hips
Now I'm sad and I'm free again, he won't be coming back
Save my victory get this monkey off my back
It's snowing outside, it's a desert in here
It blows my mind how you disappeared
And I feel so strange, I need to love somebody whole
The sound of his name rocked me like a jungle in my soul
I'm just a girl who wants to have fun
You shined on my world like a burning sun
Life is a scream I cling to this dream
Venus is breaking in me
I kick the sand, get drunk again
I slap my hand, I'm in love with this man
And I feel so lame for getting sucked in this deep
You're a quagmire baby and you make me feel so cheap
You shined n my world like a burning sun
Well I could have sworn that you were the one
Life is a scream, I cling to this dream
Venus is breaking in me (she's breaking inside me)
Life is a scream, I cling to this dream
My love was the real thing
I paid this price one time before
My friends say he ain't worth it, but I'd pay even more
Venus is breaking inside of me
She dreams of a life that'll never be
Sylvia Moy, Brian Holland, Edward Holland, Jr. and Lamont Dozier
Oh, this old heart of mine
Been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away
I feel you're gonna stay
Lonely nights that come
Memories that flow
Bringing you back again
Hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going, but I
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
These old arms of mine
Miss having you around
Makes these tears inside
Start falling down, well
Always with half a kiss
You remind me of what I miss
So I try to control myself
Like I'm gonna start fainting cause my heart stops beating, cause I
I love you
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
I love you, yes I do (yes I do)
Oh I try to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always makes me cry
The way you trat me leaves me incomplete
You're in for the day, gone for the week, now
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it
To tell the world about it, cause I
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
I love you
This old heart darling weeps for you (weeps for you)
I love you
This old heart darling (darling) weeps for you
Sure as the breeze
There is no mistaking these
These are days in a life of passion
Watch over me for eternity
And I will smile till my heart stops beating
All my worries disappear
Your words are like a souvenir
Of love in a life of passion
I was so lost and you were so profound
You taught me how to fly with my feet still on the ground
And you told me to be what it is that I was
No matter what all of the businessmen said
Serious Richard, why do you frown like you do?
Why do you think the whole world is after you?
Well, you're probably right and it's probably true about me, too
'Cause sometimes the world ain't sweet
Oh these days, when was it ever?
Maybe it's just this city hurts
Oh Richard, I love you worse
Serious Richard
I often recall the time in the doorway in Paris
The time of the broken sinks and the broken hearts
And the broken weeds that we tore apart
Thinking they were flowers, thinking they were art
We were so smart, Richard
We liked our love, we loved to live
Out in the streets we knew how to give
We were alive, happy to be alive
You don't know my memory lingers
Or the message of your fingers
Serious Richard, where did you go?
I never thought an ending we would ever know
We were walking above
Pretending to be in love
In phases I watched you float away
I was under the gun
Trying to have some fun
In phases I watched you slip away
Remember all these rainy says
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days
We were sticking it out
Getting used to the doubt
In phases you watched me drift away
Now I'm taking a train
Shooting through the rain
Amazed that I'm alone here
Once again
Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days, yeah
I watched you float away
Remember all these rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even the clearest of days
These rainy days
We saved them up but tomorrow never came
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Even, even the clearest of days
And now these rainy days are clouding up
Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run rudolph, randalph's not too far behind
Run, run rudolph, santa's got to make it to town
Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down.
And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said santa to a boy child "what have you been longing for? "
"all I want for christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar"
And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a shooting star
Run, run rudolph, santa's got to make it to town
Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said santa to a girl child "what would you like most to get? "
"i want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet"
And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a saber jet
Every time you go
This much I know
That it don't mean nothing
Cause I've closed the back door
And every night apart you were in my heart
So don't you worry
Cause I'm ready for this love to restart
There is a reason
We came together
Rain or Shine I'll love you all my life
We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine I'm yours, you're mine
I'll love you all my life
When I feel afraid
In my own parade
That marches through me
And I don't recognize
A single face
You drew a line in the sand
Then you took my hand
And we crossed over
Now I finally understand that
There is a reason
We came together
Rain or Shine I'll love you all my life
We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine I'm yours, you're mine
I'll love you all my life
Yeah...
Now I finally understand that...
There is a reason
We came together
Rain or Shine I'll love you all my life
We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine I'm yours, you're mine I'll love... yeah
There is a reason
We came together
Rain or Shine I'll love you all my life
We'll weather the seasons
We'll laugh and cry
Rain or shine I'm yours, you're mine
I'll love you all my life
Here's a photo I've been looking for
It's a picture of the boy next door
And I loved him more than words can say
Never knew it 'til he moved away
Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a photo of the neighborhood
Here's the corner where we stood
Here's a snapshot of Dad's old car
Never got us very far
Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
And all those friends
Where did they go, I don't know
All those friends we used to know
Is that all America?
Bad television, living in denial, I know
'Cause I don't wanna know
Wanna run, wanna fly
Let my illusions take me through the night
It's alright, wanna be the light
I was born in a cardboard box
New York City, 1963
Poetry readings and bohemians
Now inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angel
Merilee, Merilee, she takes forever
But she's always laughing, laughing about anything
I could be so happy
As long as my friends are hangin' around me
Are we all fast food and no introspection?
All done with mirrors, but no real reflection
I wanna live in my own little world
Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angel
Naivete'...this world is lost on me
Naivete'...I don't wanna know anyway
I always pictured my life this way
As two women order their chardonnay
Sitting alone in some dirty cafe
Where inspiration floats around me like a cloud, so loud
I can hear you sing like an angel
I try so hard I don't know what to do
I'm gonna lose my mind if I can't have you
The brake lights are on and nobody's home
I can hear you talking on the telephone
And my baby has the blues again
Somehow they just seem to hit him
And I'm breaking up again with another long term boyfriend
I believe that you're leaving
And I believe you're already gone
You're already gone
If you can't find love, you've gotta find a method
Of learning to live in the world today
I don't know what it was that I expected
I guess I'm a fool to want perfection
And I'm breaking up again with another long term boyfriend
I believe that you're leaving
And I believe you're already gone
I better believe what I'm seeing
'Cause I believe that it's so long
It's so long (as in ";see ya";)
I try so hard I don't know what to do
It's obvious I won't end up with you
The brake lights are on and it's so clear
You can't pretend you wanna be here
This train of thought has arrived at the station
We don't need anymore contemplation
And I'm breaking up again with another long term boyfriend
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
words by Gardner Cole
music by Gardner Cole & David Gamson
I've tried so many times
To Keep romance alive
I guess I never really had true love
Then you came my way
And nothing's been the same
Now you're all I'm ever thinking of
If I had the say you'd be staying
(Chorus)
Hey...I've been here before
Looking in your eyes see just a little more...I said
Hey...I've been here before
Someone must have sent you down to brighten up my life
One in a million boy
You fill me up with joy
Sometimes I don't believe in accidents
I know we're meant to be
It's so plain to see
From here on out it where the fun begins
If I have the say you'll be staying(Chorus)
Hey...I've been here before
Looking in your eyes see just a little more...I say
Hey...I've been here before
Someone must have sent you down to brighten up my life
Sent you down to brighten up my life
(Bridge)
Sometimes the obvious is hard to see
Now here you are standing right in front of me
I could have missed my one and only
Chance for love, chance for love...oh!
Hey...I've been here before
Looking in your eyes see just a little more...I said
Hey...I've been here before
Someone must have sent you down to brighten up my
Sent you down to brighten up my life
(Chorus)
Above all things there must be love
And following your deepest soul
You look like you need some fun
I'm dying to sail into the sun
Dreamers ask what've I become
I can see that shoreline star
Pulling me to worlds so far
Taking me and pulling hard
Away from judgment's own backyard
Away from judgment's own backyard
Why should I change for anyone?
Why should my chains break or come undone?
And I'll sing glory hallelujah I'm coming home
Baby don't rescue me, don't rescue me
'Cause I'm gonna be what I'm gonna beDo you hear my melodies?
Do you hear my Van Gogh's cry?
Will it be my brother's purchase?
Even only when I die? Even only when I die
Why should I change for anyone?
Why should my chains break or come undone?
And I'll sing glory hallelujah I'm coming home
Baby don't rescue me, don't rescue me
'Cause I'm gonna be what I'm gonna be
I been up and down, I been all around
In the sky and baby on the ground
High as the sun, deep as the sea
Rain has been falling all over me
I wanna live in harmony
I know what I need to be free
Baby, please don't rescue me 'cause I'm gonna be...
I feel like I'm walking on a mine
I'm gonna leave it all behind
I feel like I'm gaining my soul
While I'm losing my mind
And I feel like I understand
And I feel like a grain of sand
I'm gonna walk through that door
I'm gonna see what it's there for
'Cause all I ever want is your skin or your soul, baby
But you couldn't give me either one of thoseAnd I feel like I understand
And I feel like a grain of sand
And I feel like a grain of sand
You use to hold me like a flower
We used to talk for seven hours
I see the bigger picture now
And I feel like I understand
And I feel like a grain of sand
And I feel like a grain of sand
Got a room about 20 feet wide
There€™s a blue light bulb
hanging from the sky
Threw a mattress on the floor where we can hide
Hold my hand to the subway door
I can make us invisible
All the way to Chinatown
Steam is rising from the street below
Neon sign like a carnival
You bring the color to a grey rainbow
My guitar and a bottle of the red
So much pain that I want to forget
On our way to Chinatown
Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown
Sheets of rain banging on the window
Turning into a blanket of snow
Getting good of pulling over the wool
Miles away there€™s another world
I know I am the luckiest girl
Found my heart in Chinatown
Take you over to my side of town
Show you how the real world gets down
Trouble I thought I could hold you down
All the way to Chinatown
Every Breath You Take
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you takeEvery move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
(*) I fell so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
He says everybody's crazy
No one knows how to live
He takes another drink of whiskey and says
No one knows how to give
He says everybody's lonely
And they love to talk about it
They say if I could have you only
You know I'd never doubt it
I'd never doubt it
Every now and then you were in love with me
Every now and then you came to find me
Every now and then you'd be in love with me
Surprise, surprise it's me again
It's every now and thenMy boyfriend's on the fringe
He says that I'm naive
He says this world makes him cringe
Sometimes he'd rather leave
My boyfriend's on the blink
He says he can't pretend
He's had too much to drink
And it's coming to the end
It's coming to the end
Every now and then you were in love with me
Every now and then you came to find me
Every now and then you'd be in love with me
Surprise, surprise it's me again
It's every now and then
Every now and then you'd be in love with me
Surprise, surprise look in my eyes
It's every now and then
Every now and then you'd get down on your knees
And cry to me, 'cause once again
It's every now and then
(Written by William Stevenson, Ivy Jo Hunter)
Just ask the lonely
When you feel
That you can make it all alone
Remember no one is big enough
To go it all alone
Just ask the lonely
They know the hurting pain
Of losing the love
You can never regain
Just ask the lonely
The young and foolish
Who laugh at love and slowly run away
Confident and sure that fate
Will bring another love their way
But ask the lonely
How vainly a heart can yearn
For losing a love
That will never return
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you
The lonliest one is me
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Words & Music by Vonda Shepard
I have been lost in this verbal rain
I went to bed feeling no pain
I was drowning baby, you're my wine
You're my thoughts, you're my silence
You're my sense of time
By 7:30 you'll fall in love with me
Do you believe in destiny?
I believe... by 7:30
Maybe your love's an uncrackable code
Or maybe your love is a railroad
That you ride when you are all alone
And you speed down the tracks
To what you call homeBy 7:30 you'll fall in love with me
Do you believe in destiny?
I believe... by 7:30
Quite unsubtle these thoughts
You send me
Or is it I who sends them unreceived?
And they fly through the air
At enormous speed
Like a boomerang flying back at me
By 7:30 you'll fall in love with me
So you believe in destiny?
I believe... by 7:30
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: ";My God, that's tough";
";She stood him up";
";No point in us remaining";
";We may as well go home";
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
[instrumental interlude]
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
words by Vonda Shepard & Michael Ruff
music by Vonda Shepard
Got one now with a Catholic name
A little less righteous, she ain't quite the same
Walkin' the streets under the media moon
Silvery screen paints her sultry tune
She wears her lipstick outside of the lines
Picture on the cover of the New York Times
The mole on her cheek looks like her very own
She lives and breathes in a new Marilyn home
(Chorus)
A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
Where would she be after twenty-five years
What would she think if she were to hear
Everywhere you look there's somebody new
Trying to replace you, trying to replace you...Marilyn(Chorus)
A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
(Isn't this a great party?)
(Chorus)
A new Marilyn, a new Marilyn
Everybody's lookin' for a new you know who
Everywhere I go, everywhere I been
Everybody's lookin' for a new Marilyn
As I walk this land and broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, baby
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving and going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
What become of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
And tell me what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Tell me, tell me, oh, what becomes of the broken heart?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what, what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know, I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
What becomes of the brokenhearted?

And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still find a way to haunt me though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
They did not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
They did not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
I have fallen, I have stood up. I've had the patience of a tree.
You have trembled, you have styed still, you have tumbled like a weed.
All the mountains, all the deserts, go for miles and miles around.
We have driven for years now, baby, just to get back to a place we
had already found.
Now you're driving me downtown, baby, on a rainy night.
You're driving me crazy, baby, is this really life?
In the wildest time of the world
Oh I never thought I would be here with you tonight.
In the wildest times of the world,
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life.
I was mistaken our love was forsaken, worst mistake I ever made.
Were you lonely, were you brave, now?
I guess the two are one and the same.
Now I'm signing here with my sweet, sweet darling in my eye.
Ain't it funny how you're walking through life and it turns on a dime?
In the wildest time of the world
Oh I never thought I would be here with you tonight.
In the wildest times of the world,
Let's stay together in this lonely and crazy life.
He was a poor boy having a hard time
A shoulder chipped and a head for crime
He was destined to be broken
She found a diamond in a coal mine
What she saw in him was a crooked line
She just wanted him to straighten
She said truth lies underneath the radical light
Show you qhat you need, what you're looking for
One night underneath the radical light
She said once you see the truth you'll be wanting more
She doesn't know why she's got the desire
To lead this boy out of the burning fire
Call it love or call it mercy
See, one night she was dreamin'
She saw a man who looked just like him,BR> He said "When you find me baby set me free"
We can shine standin' in the radical light
Take a chance and find your vision
We can feel fine walkin' in the radical light
It all comes down to radical decisions
I feel your sorrow
I know you're afraid to let it go
There's always tomorrow
Come into the light you don't have to be alone anymore
Show me real truth real love
Wake me hold me tonight
Under the radical light
Show me the real truth real life
Underneath the radical light
Someday we will be one
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night just don't go my way
A woman in love needs sweet inspiration
Yeah, and honey that's all I ask, that's all I ask from you
I've gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
What a satisfied woman might do
The way you call me baby, baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin', darlin'
Sets my heart to skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, oh, what a power
And I've got the power every hour of the day
I need your inspiration to go on, to go on living
To keep on giving this way
I need your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Just a shoulder to cry on
That's all I've been to you
Just someone to rely on
When your world is empty and blue
I'm just someone you call dear
Anytime you choose
I'm someone you run to
Someone you use
I'm just someone to talk to
And that's all I'll ever be
Just a clown you can laugh with
Someone to treat as you need
I'm just a fool you can love on
Any time you choose
I'm just someone you run to
Someone you use
I'm just someone you run to
I'm just someone you use
Don't you know when you need me
My little heart just can't refuse
I'm just someone who loves you, baby
I can't win and I can't lose
I'm just someone you run to
I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide
Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind
Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
Baby I been holding back now my whole life
I've decided to move on now
Gonna leave all my worries behind
Oh I belive I am ready for what love has to give
Got myself together now I'm ready to live
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
Everything gonna be alright
I've been searchin' my soul tonight
Don't wanna be alone in my life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
Say the words
Say the words
Every light shines on you tonight
Making a fool out of me
Why won't this love leave me alone
All of the people in this smoky room
Crowded with faces I know
I feel them watching me watch you
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
So I can leave, it's over
Your eyes are deeper, they are worthy of many words
None I can conjure up will do for you
But I shouldn't see you
'Cause I know my own motivation
It's taking too long for this love
To leave me alone
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
So I can leave, it's over, it's over
Oh love, you worry me
When you say, you'll wait forever
'Cause I have another life
We just cannot be together, no no
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
Say them for me
I need to hear you say, it's over, it's over
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
CHORUS
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give and never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Sitting here in this dirty bar
Watching the trash go by
She's selling cigarettes and lollipops
She's got a sparkle in her black eye
She says, "Maybe my time will come
Maybe my time will come"
He said he'd sweep her off her feet
Defying all of gravity
Well she'd move to any bright city
To fill this gaping cavity
She says, "I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife"
He must have a very small broom
As she sits in this very large room
Maybe it's just a piece of straw
She says, "Why am I so in awe?"
I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
She sits across from him drinking her coffee
His face is buried in other people's lives, she says
"I wonder if he's gonna read forever
Well I'm his newspaper wife"
I'm a slave to this empty life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I'm a slave it's my own downfall
Diggin' my grave
I'm ashamed of this meaningless life
Diggin' my grave I'm his news
Diggin' my grave I'm his newspaper wife
I've been thinking
I've been thinking I've been thinking too much.
I just want to live now for a little while.
And cast my dreams to the wind
Don't wanna wonder
don't wanna wonder what it's all about
I'm just working for a living singing with my friends
As I cast my dreams to the wind
Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'llnever see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing
La la la la la la la la...
I wanna fly
I wanna fly down the highway to my home away from home.
This funky funky club on Fairfax Avenue to see you.
I'll never give up
Because what is there to give up anyway?
I'm just working for a living working for my pay
In Maryland it's raining somewhere in some cafe.
Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'llnever see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing
Do you want me to read your mind?
Oh if I only could
I wonder if I'd find the same
Hopes I've been having
'Cause baby I came alive
When you caught my eye
I'm falling in love you see
And it's the kind of love
That makes me breathe
I would share all my secrets
I would tell you anything
You know I'd let you in darling
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
If only you would take it from me
Sometimes love comes quickly
Sometimes love comes slow
Let's not miss this moment...'cause
Love will come and go
I never thought I could feel
Such emotion in me
I'm not the kinda girl who falls in love so easily
It's all so clear to me now
Ain't no shadow of a doubt
Now I understand what this mystery is all about
I would be there for you baby
In a special kind of way
If I only had the say darling
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
Baby will you take it from me
Sometimes love comes quickly
Sometimes love comes slow
Let's not miss this moment...'cause
Love will come and go
Let's not miss this moment
Let's not take too long
I think we both know it
Our love would be that strong, be that strong, be that strong
I would be there for you baby
In a special kind of way
'Cause I love you darlin'
We could be so good together
I would give you the world
Baby will you take it from me
Is there a good way to say goodbye
When you're leaving all you had 'cause your love has run dry?
Is there a good way to be a bad girl
When you're taking all that's given from the world?
Is there a good way to move ahead
Without selling out your soul for some water or some bread?
Is there a good way to learn
Your lesson and stay alive?
I've been looking for something all of my life
Maybe in some other city I'll see the light
Is there a good way to say goodbye
To this fantasy world, to this lie?
Is there a good way to get out
Before you're jaded?
I need to find a good way to say goodbye
Is there a good way to say goodbye?
I've been looking for something all of my life
Maybe in some other city I'll be alright
Is there a good way to leave him alone
When you find his love just hits too close to home?
Is there a good way to deny everything
You thought you needed?
I need to find a good way to say goodbye
Is there a good way to say goodbye?
I've been looking for something all of my life
Maybe I'll find somebody who'll make things alright
I've been looking for something all of my life
Maybe in some other city I'll be alright

Does he love me
I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
You'll be decieved
(Is it in his eyes?) Oh no,
He'll make believe
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
(Or is it in his face?) Oh, no
It's just his charm
(In his warm embrace?) Oh, no
That's just his arms
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
Kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(About the way he acts?) Oh, no
That's not the way
And you're not listening to all that I say
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
I can't stop this feeling
deep inside of me.
Girl, you just don't realize
what you do to me.
When you hold me
in your arms so tight,
you let me know
everythings alright
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
that your in love with me.
Lips as sweet as candy.
Their taste stays on my mind.
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine.
I got it bad for you girl,
but I don't need a cure,
I'll just stay addicted, If I can endure
All the good love, when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.
I'm, I'm hooked on a feeling.
I sit and wonder
How my life would be
If you were here with me
What a beautiful fantasy
Early in the morning
I find myself with tears in my eyes
From a dream that you're featured in
And it hurts deep inside
To know that you won't let me in to your life
And I wonder why
I'm going crazy
I keep thinking about your foolish smile
Here I go I just can't stop
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
All the time
I'm dreamin' of all the joy we could have baby
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
For your heart
I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share
It's my decision
To leave you now
Just because it hurts too much
Knowing you'll never give enough
But how I long to
Experience the magic of your touch again
Now you're always on my mind
I just can't stop
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
All the time
I'm dreamin' of all the time we could have baby
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
For your heart
I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share
I think of the time we had
You're making me want you so bad
I'm watching you walk away
But I wish I could make you stay
The only thing that I can do
Is baby, baby to dream of you
I wake up in the morning thinking 'bout you baby
You ran away with your conscience clear
There was a, a red flag waving in my ear saying
"Stay away, you've got something to fear"
Well why did I not choose to hear?
Well I am through with suffering
Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring
I can sing, I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease
'Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
And we all got our cross to bear
And our Star of David, our dread locked hair
And oh yeah baby, I still care
And if you need some help you know I'll always be there
Well it's been a, a strange year, you've been a very bad dog
As my fire went out, you'd put on another log
But it was worth never having any peace
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
And we all got our cross to bear
And our Star of David, our dread locked hair
And oh yeah baby, I still care
And if you need some help you know that I'll still be there
Some nights I thought I'd cry forever
I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar
But it was worth always scraping my knees
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
You' were there
You know I, I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve
But I'm, I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
Gonna live at my dreams even if they kill me in the end
And we all got our cross to bear
And our Star of David, our dread locked hair
Skinny little brats
Walking down Avenue A
Dangling their cigarettes
Their Independence Day
Tears like filigrees
Wear them on their sleeves
Nobody's main squeeze
It's thirty-five degrees
Poetry of ordinary life
Is what I live for
They just wanna be seen
They just wanna be heard
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
So diaphanous, so ephemeral
And all those bad words
They never learned in school
Groovy like my mamma was
In her black turtle neck
She was so high strung
She was so low tech
Poetry and tattooed dreams
And fourteen carat nose rings
The children of elite
Are trying to be street saying
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
Poetry of ordinary life
Is what I live for
They just wanna be seen
They just wanna be heard
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
I need someone to lift me up
My words are like confetti
And you never pick them up
They fall to the ground
If I don't take you seriously
If I can laugh at your randomness
If I can have a little fun baby
If I can only feel my bliss
If I can ignore my conscience
And reject my angry guide
If I can take my soul out of hiding
And get it right back
To reviving what had died
I wanna be alive... so alive
If I can love you without hating you
If I can accept your lack of guilt
If I can walk across the skinny wire
If I can make my conscience tilt
If I can lose myself for once
If I can regain my youth
I'm so sick and tired of lying
Gonna dig down to the truth
I found my Independence here
I finally let go of my fear
My mind is finally, finally clear, clear, clear
Whoever said we had to be crazy glued
To our personalities?
I wanna jump on the bed and hit the ceiling
Any symbol of being free
Last night you laughed so hard
I could see your shining bliss
Don't wanna live another day
Without knowing how you kiss
I found my Independence here
I finally let go of my fear
Oh city shine on tomorrow
For today I feel rain
There is a decent moon
Now I lay me down in the light
My man's afraid, no communication
I'm sure life in my arms ain't been free
Is it a sacrifice to love me now
Are you alright?
Will you take my hand so I'm not alone
You're the road I need to lead me home baby...forever
Will you be my friend, will you walk with me
Can we wash away the history that clouds our love
What came before surely won't be
There's a clean rain fallin' over me
I know I cried after what you told me
You said you're not sure where this love is going
Why would you hesitate if you really love me now
Are you alright?
Will you take my hand, you're the road I need to lead me home...forever
Will you be my friend, will you walk with me
Can we wash away the history that clouds our love
What came before surely won't be
Hey we've been running too long, let's settle down
Gotta keep our head above water
Take a look around
How long will you wait for me
How long will you wait for me
Oh mama we'd sail away
Doing cartwheels on the front lawn everyday
And you'd sing "Here Comes The Sun"
Then we'd dance together
I thought it would last forever
I see my life fly on by
Like a soldier in the rain
With a shining road ahead of me
For once in my life I wanna be happy
Stop running from my memories
Being on the road sets me free... but sometimes
I want to come back home
I want to hear your voice say to me
Be yourself, 'cause that's all that matters baby
Oh mama you'd carry me away
On the rooftops and in the high trees
That's where I used to dream
I'd close my eyes and hear you sing
"Blackbird in the dead of night"
I see your life fly on by
Mama don't you be afraid
Look at all the love that you have made
Oh mama you want us to forgive you
But you did nothing wrong
You followed your road for so long...that sometimes
You want to come back home
You want it all to be the way it was
Shaynamaidala...doing cartwheels on the lawn
All the planes are out tonight
I have been lost in this verbal rain
I went to bed feeling no pain
I was drowing in my wine
You're my thoughts
You're my silence
My sense of time
corus
By seven thirty you'll fall in love with me
Do you believe in destiny
Destiny
By seven thirty
Maybe your loves an uncrackable code
Or maybe your love is a rail road
That you ride when you're all alone
And you speed down the tracks to what you call home
corus
By seven thirty you'll fall in love with me
Do you believe in destiny
Destiny
By seven thirty
Quite unsuttle these thoughts you send me
Or is it I who sends them unrecieved
And they fly thru the air at enormous speed
Like a boomerang flying back at me
corus
na na na na na na na mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm uuuuh uuuhhh
by seven thirty you'll fall in love with me
by seven thirty
We've live a long long time and all the radios are playing our song tonight
We walk a crooked line 'cause there is a counter life in your jailed eyes
You're never a victim of your generation and you shine on me like a holy light
All of the miracles and conversations rain on me tonight
We've got a one track mind true as a railroad always on time
I see it in your eyes you don't have to talk to me I know what you're thinking
I need my solitude as much as you do darling to live this life we came here for
Never for one single solitary moment did I need you more
We live a lucky life
I see it all tonight
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or to anywhere we like
We live a lucky life
My home is on the road the pavement caters to to my gypsy soul
We walk the tightest rope we live in a circus circus of hope
All of the melodies and inspirations shine on me like a holy light
Right in the middle of our conversations you wink at me saying it's alright
We live a lucky life
I see it in your eyes
We sit and close our eyes
Traveling to paradise or to anywhere we like
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know know it's the end of the world?
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids rush
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
I do not measure the space between
Moments of pleasure we'll someday see
If you need a reason, let me know
If you need the answer, you will know
If you say tomorrow, you will go, you will go away
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
I do not measure the distance
Or instigate any resistance
If you need a reason, let me know
If you need the answer, you will know
If you say tomorrow, you will go, you will go away
Nobody [Incomprehensible] new world
Our way from heaven from [Incomprehensible] to L.A.
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
(There is no such thing as time)
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
I'll light the fire within you
You can make mountains move too
Ooh, with my truer friends
I do not notice when the clocks unwind
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
(There is no such thing as time)
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
As long as we are in it
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
There is no limit
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
(There is no such thing as time)
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
As long as we
As long as we are
Jam Karet
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
Jam Karet
Jam Karet, Jam Karet
I was alright for awhile
I could smile for awhile but I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello, oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell that I'd been
Crying over you, crying over you
When you said, 'So long'
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying, crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
How the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's true, oh so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling what can I do? For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
I'll always remember the song that was playing
The first time we danced and I knew
As we swayed to the music and held to each other
I fell in love with you
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
Would you be my partner every night
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
I'll always remember that magic moment
When I held you close to me
As we moved together, I knew forever
You're all I'll ever need.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
Would you be my partner every night
When we're together it feels so right
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life
Would you be my partner every night
When we're together it feels so right
I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you say
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever
[Chorus]
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you mean
Do you mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
[Chorus]
Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye(goodbye)
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
[Bridge]
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home still thinking we're together
I wanted our love to last forever
I was believing in you
[Chorus]
I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
Don't love and lie
I'd rather hear the the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

For once in my life
I have 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, oh
For once I've got someone
I know won't desert me
'Cause 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
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light.
From now on our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the yuletide gay.
From now on our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us,
Gather near to us, once more.
Through the years we all will be together,
If the fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Bells will be ringing the sad sad news
Oh, what a Christmas to end the blues
My baby's gone, and I have no friends
To wish me greetings, once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
For this is Christmas, yeah, it's Christmas my dear
It's the time of year to be with the one you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief or pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
(instrumental interlude)
There'll be no more sorrow no grief or pain

The snowman in the yard is frozen hard
Hes a sorry sight to see
If he had a brain
He'd complain
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we know place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How i'd hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home i'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear were still goodbyeing
But as long as you love me so
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
Lights twinkle all around
But your eyes outshine the town
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It just seems you're on my way
All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace, your style
And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best, I've ever met
And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing
For the night, for the night
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget

I've got a mind that you'll never see
I've got amazing remedies
I've got a heart that only wants to please
You wouldn't notice if I slapped you and I
Let go my friend
Telling you I, Let go my friend
You know I had to, let go my friend
Telling you I, let go my friend as you
Sail on by
No girl is an island
I live in denial as you
Sail on by
There's more behind this crying
Than meets the eye
I've got a hand on the radio
I've got a song on the video
I work my fingers to the bone
You wouldn't notice
If I were a slacker and I
Let go my friend
Telling you I, let go my friend
You know I had to, let go my friend
Telling you I, Let go my friend
Sail on by
No girl is an island
I live in denial as you
Sail on by
There's more behind this crying
Than meets the eye you

I was raised on nothing, so I save my money
Emotional poverty, well I'm used to running
How amazing you make me feel
If I am crazy, don't wanna know what's real
You're like a wave of heaven and you're breaking on me
To change the destiny of a girl that's lonely
But how amazing and how surreal
To live with a desire that you may never feelI can sell everything but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have give everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man
I feel like a can
I kick myself down the street
I'm crushed for a while
Then I get on my feet
I loved the illusive in every man I saw
I draw them to me like they were the last straw
I can sell everything baby but my soul
I have never settled just to play some kind of role
I have given everything baby but my hand
Mercy can you save me from this wonderful man

I do not measure the space between
Moments of pleasure we'll someday see
If you need a reason let me know
If you need the answer you will know
If you say tomorrow you will go, you will go away
(Chorus)
There is no limit
Jam Karet Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
There is no limit
Jam Karet Jam Karet
I do not measure the distance
Or instigate any resistance
If you need a reason let me know
If you need the answer you will know
If you say tomorrow you will go, you will go away
(Chorus)There is no limit
Jam Karet Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet
(There is no such thing as time)
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet Jam Karet
There is no limit
Jam Karet Jam Karet
I'll light the fire within you
You can make mountains move too
(Bridge)
Ooh with my truer friends
I do not notice when the clocks unwind
(Chorus)
There is no limit
Jam Karet Jam Karet
Open every window
Jam Karet Jam Karet
(There is no such thing as time)
Stretching every minute
Jam Karet Jam Karet
As long as we are in it
Jam Karet Jam Karet
(Chorus)
Words & music by Vonda Shepard
I know that I'm not crazy
If I were I wouldn't talk about it
I'm homesick for your love
'Cause I know I can't live without it
If you need a guarantee I'm gonna love you everyday
Say no more about it because you've got it in every way
(Chorus)
I'm gonna hold out one more day
I won't let her take you away
I'm gonna hold out somehow someway
I don't wanna see the day when you say goodbye
I wish I could get you out of my system
I say in my mind but my heart won't listen
I need a fix or two
'Cause I'm in the habit of you
And if a guarantee is what you need
To keep me by your side
Say no more about it
Because my love I just can't hide(Chorus)
I'm gonna hold out one more day
I won't let her take you away
I'm gonna hold out somehow someway
I don't wanna see the day when you say...
(Bridge)
All you need in your life
All you need in your heart
All you need from a friend
Is love
All you need from your mother
All you need from your lover
All wee need from another
Is love
I'm gonna hold out one more day
I won't let her take you away
I'm gonna hold out somehow someway
I don't wanna see the day when you say goodbye
(Chorus)
They called her Synthesizer Suzi
And Fast Fingers Flynn &
Bobby you played saxophone
Like you'd never play again
We all four got together
In a divey weekend bar
Working on our standards
Seeing who would be the star
Out on the town
Bobby, I knew you were a gambler
'Cause you made my wheel spin
I should have known you cheated
'Cause you'd never fail to win
We all knew you were a joker
And your luck was running thin
When they took you one cold morning
Out on the town
Out on the town
We're gonna make our rounds
Out on the town
We're gonna close it down
Out on the town
To the last call of the last bar
Out on the town
Now I walk along these darkened streets
With an open mind 'cause I'm tryin' to reach
The memory that brought me here
On this lonely night for one last tear
Suzi you moved up town for good
Flynn you would if you thought you could
And I'm still staring these same walls down
On a dirty street...Out on the town
Out on the town
We're gonna make our rounds
Out on the town
We're gonna close it down
Out on the town
I stopped at an all night diner
Ooh, it seemed like a romantic thing to do
Yeah, but I'm lonely, it ain't like the movies
In the old days
I saw you sittin' in the corner counting change,
Like you were counting your daydreams
Then youe eyes, they suddenly hit me like a railroad train
Oh, sometimes I think I might be immune to a guy like you
But I can't walk away, no I can't walk away
Oh, tonight I see you're at the end of the line, well, me too
But we all gotta pay
I know you'd be good to me
I know you'd try to be good to me
But in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
You better be good to yourself...good to yourself
I guess I've known you before, maybe in high school
or maybe you're just one more guy I went looking for
The boy next door
Or maybe I'm the girl with the see-through eyes
But I watch too many movies,
I get tangled in the story of someone else's life
Baby, who am I...and who are you?
Oh, sometimes I go to bed at night
And I think that I'm with you
Then I say a little prayer, cuz I threw it all away
The other day you called up to see if I miss you
And all I could say was
I know you'd be good to me
I know you'd try to be good to me
But in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
You better be good to yourself...good to yourself
Night has a clever desguise
She makes me believe that I'm lonely
I should know by now if I can make it to tomorrow
I can work it out
Cuz in the end, baby can't depend on no one else
When the chips are down, I have found
Go ahead and cry now
Just give in to the madness
The only way to feel your joy
Is to first feel the sadness
Go ahead and sail now
Just give in to the ocean
The only way to tame your fear
Is to feel her rocky motion
You're a long way from somewhere you call home
There's a place in your heart, you're not alone
All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
It's just 100 tears away
Go ahead and listen
Just give into the voices
You think you're backed into a corner
But you've got so mahy choices
You can't save all the hungry
The lonely or the dying
Sometimes we wanna give up
But fools like us keep trying
You're a long way from some place you feel safe
Peace of mine comes from just one place
All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
Is just 100 tears away
Whatever it is that'll make you feel good
You can have if you want, if you knew that you could
You can have it all baby
You're a long way from somewhere you call home
There's a place in your heart you're not alone
All of the happiness you seek
All of the joy for which you pray
Is closer than you think
I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
I'm gonna discontinue him like a
Line that's breaking, breaking
Our love seemed to crash
Like a wave that's taking
Taking down everything
Seven days, that's all it's been
Tomorrow will be eight
Feel like I'm counting
The raindrops in a hurricane
In this perfect place
I believe
Swimming through the days
While the world goes crazy
No wonder the state I'm in
Am I wrong to wanna dream
Myself into oblivion, sweet oblivion?
Seven days I am amazed
Tomorrow will be eight
Feeling like I'm counting
The raindrops in a hurricane
In this perfect place
I believe that there
Is someone for me
In this perfect place
I believe that there
Is someone for me
In this perfect place
We go city to city
The sun sets over Copenhagen
On a bus ride through heaven
Maybe we'll get in by 11
Take a sip of inspiration
Trigger my imagination
Turn over the pages in my hand
I just wanna be in a great band
I'm waiting for July
Were we just passing by?
I'll see you In July
We go country to country
Moon rise over Barcelona
My best friends surround me
I can see how this life can own you
The lines on the road can mesmerize
Patterns go shooting under
I can hear a lullaby
Through the rain and thunder
I'm waiting for July
Will we be out of time?
I'll see you In July
Maybe we can live by the ocean
Need to quiet down the commotion
Time has stopped ticking by
Maybe it's already July (July)
I'm waiting for July
Were we just passing by?
I'll see you In July
Are we out of time?
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight
I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight
Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right
Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right
I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello" oh you wished me well
You couldn't tell that I'd been
Crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said "so long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
How the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, oh so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling what can I do
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah

He's got stuff to drop at every stop on the way
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag,
'Cause Christmas is comin' again.
He'll be here,
With the answers to the prayers that you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should, extra-special good.
He'll make this December, the one you'll remember,

Someday we'll be together

You're far away, baby
From me my love, ooh yeah
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say
Someday we'll be together

Someday, some sweet day
We'll be together
(Oh I know, I know, I know, I know)
My love is yours, baby
Right from the start, oh yeah
You, you, you possess my soul now honey
I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say
Someday, some sweet day
We'll be together
(Ah, yes we will, yes we will)
Someday, tell everybody
We'll be together
(Oh I know)
A long time ago, my, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake honey
I, said I, said goodbye
(Bye, bye, bye, bye)
(Baby, ever, ever)
(Ever, and ever, and ever)
Ever, since that day now
All I, all I wanna do
All I wanna do
Is cry, cry, cry
I long for you
Every, every night
Ooh, just to kiss your sweet lips baby
Hold you ever, and ever so tight,
And I wanna say
Someday, some sweet day
We'll be together

Someday we'll be together

Someday we'll be together
(Yes we will, yes we will)
Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer
Hey New York City won't you welcome me back home?
And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want
Maybe I should wander through my solitude a little longer
Turn your head now sailor, well I used to be so much stronger
How in the hell did I get here? In this city so alone
Oh sometimes life seems so long
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection
Maybe I should wander through these streets a little longer
Find my ruthless angel that will carry me home
'Cause we all wanna go home and we search for love our whole lives
I found a man who only wants to be alone, yeah, yeah
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction
Unless you think that I'm perfection, unless you think that I'm perfection
Maybe down the road who knows you'll get it together
With all your charm my hope grows it's wonderful
But you're flirting only as a friend
You touch my heart and promise everything
It'll be a mighty cold winter
Five million people couldn't one of them be you
And darling I love you but I swear that I'll be gone
By the time you figure out what you want
You can't soothe me with your sweet voice if I can't be your first choice
You can't soothe me with your deep eyes if I can't be your first prize
You can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction

Santa baby,

For me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby,
A '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my christmas list
Santa baby,

A lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey,
One little thing I really need

To a platinum mine

So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie,
And fill my stocking with a duplex

Lets see if you believe in me
Santa baby,
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring

Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney
Written by William D.Hardy, Billy Moore, Jr.
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney,
Stuck in my chimney, stuck in the chimney
Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney
When he came last year
There he was in middle of the chimney
Roly-poly, fat and round
There he was in middle of the chimney
Not quite up and not quite down
Santa please come back to my chimney
Back to my chimney, back
Santa please come back to my chimney
You can come back here.
Cause baby, made a brand new chimney
Just for you this year!
The antennas on the rooftops
Make collages in the cloudy sky
Sort of like a black and white photograph
Now it's raining in my eye
It's enough to feel the wind blow
It's enough to feel the rain
I'm in love with a man that don't know
As I ride this steady train
There's a storm in the distance
But I have always loved the rain
I want a love without resistance
Can there be love without any pain?
It's enough to feel the wind blow
It's enough to feel the rain
I'm in love with a man that don't know
As I ride this steady train
Well, this street looks so familiar
I ain't been here for twenty years
At what moment do you turn you head around
And walk a straight line, straight and clear?
It's enough to feel the wind blow
It's enough to feel the rain
I'm in love with a man that don't know
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away, is the bluebird
Here to stay, is a new bird.
He sings a love song, as we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is parson brown.
He'll say are you married? we'll say "no man,
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream, by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown.
We'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman.
Until the other kids come knock him down.
When it's cold, ain't it thrilling
When your nose, gets to chilling.
We'll frolic and play, the eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
I know somethin' about love
You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know somethin' about love
You've gotta show it and
Make him see that moon up above
Reach out and get it
If you want him
To make your heart sing out
And if you want him to
Only think of you
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Ever since the world began it's been that way
For man and woman were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated?
I know something about love
You've gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride and
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
There was a time when I was uncluttered
In my mind and my heart and my soul were fine
I would sit with Alan and have a smoke
But I didn't smoke so I usually choke
Alan and I would talk about life
We never really kissed, never stayed the night
Now I'm twisted into a perfect knot
The pace is a maze and I'm totally caught
I will meet you in Downtime
Has become a crime
I'll be waiting on Downtime
Why is it a crime?
We'd write till three in our reverie
We liked simple things
He saw the art in me
So I saw it in myself
Was a woman of wealth
Had no money just Alan and me
Now I work all day and I think all night
In a complicated life will I ever get it right?
Yeah I'm twisted into a perfect knot
The pace is a maze and I'm totally caught
I will meet you in Downtime
Has become a crime
I'll be waiting on Downtime
Why is it a crime?
Downtime has become a crime
I'll be waiting on Downtime
You ran away with your conscience clear
there was a red flag waving in my ear
saying stay away you've got somethin to fear
ooh why did i not choose to hear
well i am through with suffering
gonna make better choices
i dont need no wedding ring
i can sing
i can dance
but i cant make this feeling cease
'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
and if u need some help you know i'll always be there
well it's been a, a strange year you've been a very bad
as my fire whent out, you put on another log
but it was worth never having any peace
'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
and if u need some help you know that I'll still be
there
some nights i thought i'd cry forever
i'd wish him away
and then id turn into a beggar
it was worth always scrapin' my knees
and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
o i, i wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
and i got this achin' love that only you can relieve
but i'm, im not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the
'cause deep in my soul u left a permanent crease
we all got our cross to bear
our star of david
our dreadlocked hair
oh yeah baby i still care
She's wearing too much lipstick tonight,
Little black dress, a little too tight.
Tries to make small talk, but it drips with spite.
She knows that it's coming, but it's really alright.
Nobody here could know how she feels,
Not getting drunk and she hates wearing heals,
Tries to stand, but the room seems to bend and reel,
Her friends all keep asking, "why can't she just deal?"
If she spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah.
If she spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together,
but ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah...
He says it's over and it's such a release,
Finally happened and he's making his peace,
The reminders don't bother him in the least,
The Jekyll and Hyde shit will finally cease,
His eyes on fire and his hands kind of shake,
Like his voice is ready to break,
Kind of wonder how long this boy's been awake,
Or how much less sense one person can make.
If he spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah.
If he spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah...
Happiness is such hard work, harder every day, and it can kill you,
But no one wants to be that tacky about it.
If you spin fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of your heart will stay together,
You have body, you give soul
You're a soul survivor, it's so, it's so clear
I like long gone songs of old,
You sing throughout the year.
It'll be like love is for
The rest of our lives
I won't have to run around,
Baby you, won't have to think twice
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout those
Snakes in the grass
A bunch of bleeding bug bites taught me
How it won't last.
yeah yeah yeah yeah
ohhh ohh
hummm
Give me your body won't you
Give me your sweet soul
Love will you take over our love
Will you take control
Pick a shovel,
Fill my little holes
Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole
There's a [big]
There's a [rage for love]
That's calling out there
All these [purple spheres]
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears.
Ay yi yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
yeah.
do-doo.
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
do-doo.
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears
Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole.
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
The time has come
For closing books, and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong
That's a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But i, would rather let me give my heart
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well it's not easy
But I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To you, with love
Those awkward years have hurried by
Why did they fly, fly away
Why is it sir children, grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing tres and dirty knees in the world outside?
What, what is there that I can buy?
If you wanted the world
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
These words withe letters ten feet tall
Written by g. stack, j. reid
Once in a lifetime you find
Someone to show you the way
Someone to make your decisions
And I let you lead me astray.
Who did you think you were fooling
Said you were missing me blind
But the truth is I knew you were lying
You were using me time after time.
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you (missing you)
Won't look over my shoulder
'cause I know that I can live without you
Oh live without you
Oh I can live without you
Time to move on with my life now
Leaving the past all behind
I can make my own decisions
It was only a matter of time
Sometimes I look back in anger
Thinking about all the pain
But I know that I'm stronger without you
And that I'll never need you again
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you (missing you)
Won't look over my shoulder
'cause I know that I can live without you
Oh live without you
Oh I can live without you
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'cause I know that I can live without you
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you (missing you)
Won't look over my shoulder
'cause I know that I can live without you
Yeah I can live without you
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
I have built, built more bridges than I've burned, than I've burned
And I have helped, helped more people, than I've hurt, than I've hurt
But in my life, I'm still humbled by how little I have learned
You killed me baby, without pulling a trigger
You sold me darling, down the long and winding river
I have spent my lifetime seeking the truth
But I just wanna roll in the dirt of my youth
I have begged, begged forgiveness from a friend, from a friend
He doesn't feel, feel the urgency for our struggle, oh for it to end
You knocked me over, with a touch of a feather
You dragged me darling, through some treacherous weather
Oh darling when I'm feeling hurt
I just wanna roll in the dirt
I have spent my lifetime seeking the truth
But I just wanna roll in the dirt of my youth
You killed me baby, without pulling a trigger
You sold me darling, down the long and winding river
Oh darling when I'm feeling hurt
I just wanna roll in the dirt
I have spent my lifetime seeking the truth
But I just wanna roll in the dirt of my youth

Calling all these other guys
I'm seeing something I didn't before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you don't believe that I'm asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didn't take me
(Chorus)
He ain't with me he ain't with me
He says he loves me but he don't look in my eyes
But I'll take it 'till it's all gone 'cause
He ain't with me, but at least I'm not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
You're doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want I'll make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation don't work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldn't act so free
(Chorus)
He ain't with me he ain't with me
He says he loves me but he don't look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger can't you see he ain't with me
He ain't with me he ain't with me no more
He ain't with me he ain't with me
(Bridge)
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said you'd stay
(Chorus)
He ain't with me he ain't with me
He ain't with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He ain't with me he ain't with me
But I'll take it 'till it's all gone 'cause
He ain't with me but at least I'm not alone
He ain't with me
There is a fire within all of us
there is a river flowing in your soul
to put out the fire when it gets out of control
there is a stranger in all of us
that we try to get to know
there is a wise woman in there, too
she's trying to run the show
I can not escape the constant equipoise
in between the mischief and control
swinging from the pendulum of desires
in between the mischief and control
There is a painter in all of us
she knows exactly which brush to choose
she knows exactly where to make a stroke
but there's an army of voices
she might have to get through
there is a writer in all of us, yeah
he knows what to say and he knows when it's done
but then there's this twenty-foot blank page
you gotta fill, darling
or you think your life has no meaning
I can not escape the constant equipoise
in between the mischief and control
swinging from the pendulum of desires
in between the mischief and control
Excuses piling up like junkyards
we never want to sort through
efficiently we hide our needs
and all along a voice is calling out please, please
'cause i'm so hungry and i'm so tired
i feel so lonely, i feel so wired
Eighteen and flying,
Like every great American
Slept until sundown
And baby you were wild enough for me
Rolled the night over
In my '72 Nova
Mexican rain on my
Tijuana vinyl beer stain
Watching the sunrise
Lightening in your lazy eyes
And all this time you never let me down
I had a dream
That made me move to New York City
Cause I wasn't about to
About to let this magic slip away
But he did anyway
He was kind of illusive that way
Like clouds on a promising grey day
The beaty of my life
A moment that's long gone
But so much a part of me
Oh, how I wish it weren't history
I wish it weren't my future
Rolling, rolling my way
He sees what I'm lacking and he tells me without attacking my life
He sees what I'm needing and he gives me love without my pleading
I see where his worries lie and I help him to decide
He sees what I'm missing, that sometimes I need to be alone, but sometimes I need him to listen
Like a hemisphere he surrounds me with a wisdom that astounds me
Like the horizon, he draws my eye to him and he makes me see just how lonely I have been
He knows what I'm thinking without a sign, without blinking my eyes
I know what he's asking, in our love there ain't no masking, no disguise
I know what he's after, it's the truth and the laughter
Why can't we see in ourselves, all the beauty we see in everybody else?
Like a hemisphere he surrounds me with a wisdon that astounds me
Like the horizon, he draws my eye to him and he makes me see
Like a radio he calls out to me in the middle of the night
Like a hemisphere he is perfectly clear and he makes me see just how lonely I have been
I don't wanna go through this life just getting by, I want to fly
I don't wanna go through this life not asking why
I need to know why we are here, we are here together now
I don't wanna go through this life just to die
Well, you made me see just how lonely I have been
Like a hemisphere he surrounds me with a wisdom that astounds me
Like the horizon, he draws my eye to him and makes me see
Like a radio he calls out to me in the middle of the night
words & music by Vonda Shepard
He had his father's eyes
And his mother's point of view
There was no disguise
He couldn't see through
Sometimes the little things
They don't seem so small
But they had a good thing... overall
(Chorus)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene
There was a rainbow over here
He didn't see it from over there
Black and white are fine
But he's color blind
Watching over me
There must have been some kind of mystery
Because I wanted him too
But it was all wrong, all wrong
(Chorus)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Knew him the way you did
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
Don't cry Ilene, no don't cry
It's hard to say exactly why he left you
Maybe a change for good
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met, you've had a hold on me?
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we've met, you've had a hold on me?
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we've met, you've had a hold on me?
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
No matter what you do
Since I met you, I've missed you all my life
What I don't know won't hurt me baby
Since I've known you, I can recall the old times
Wasn't that your face in my old photographs
Didn't we laugh and talk for hours baby
Really wanna see you but baby
(Chorus)
I shy away from your love
Don't you know what I'm going through
I shy away from your love
I should be loving you but I just shy away
I don't ask you about the girls in your life
'Cause what I don't know might hurt me baby
I don't question when something feels right
Always waiting for the right one
You say I should take my chances darlin'
I could fall in live with you but baby
(Chorus)
I shy away from your love
Don't you know what I'm going through
I shy away from your love
I should be loving you...
(Bridge)
I really wanna share the love
Share the love to share to love
I really wanna share the love
Share the love to share the love
Share the love
Always waiting for the right one
You say I should take my chances darlin'
I could really fall in love with you but baby
(Chorus)
I shy away from your love
Don't you know what I'm going through
(I don't you know what I'm going through)
Baby I shy away from your love
I should be loving you but I just shy away
There's a place where we hung out
At The Sunset Marquis
And I miss the way your hand felt
Resting on my knee
It was one of the few times
I didn't want to change a thing
And the way the light hit your face just right
Was like a movie, a movie
And the way you laughed
Well it warmed the draft
Running through me, through me
And I wanna go back to try and unwind
A couple is snapping at each other
Like dirty old rubber bands
While a waitress in a cat suit
Is starting to expand
I draw a line around your finger
Like a wedding band
Then I scribble down some poetry
On a book of matches
Cause I realise I am sitting with
One of the finest catches
And suddenly in the background it was you
Playing on that radio
Burning on that stereo
In the bar at The Sunset Marquis
There was a party in my head
Where did everybody go?
One night in the blue light
I sat there all alone
And I tried to remember
The smell of your coat
Then I touched my hand and I
Whispered into my own ear, my own ear
In the background something familiar
Something was so clear, so clear
And I realised that it was me
Playing on that radio
Burning on that stereo
In the bar at The Sunset Marquis singing 'bout
All the laughs we once had darling
Oh the way it felt to me
Words and Music by Raymond O'Sullivan
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
(instrumental interlude)
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
I wanna lose my way
And my sense of direction
Wanna lose my bearings
And my point of reference
Wanna go where everything
Don't remind me of our happiness
That we sacrificed for some unknown bliss
I wanna lose my place
In this world I've created
To know who I am
It's so overrated
Wanna break away until my longing has fated
Wanna change my fate
Wanna dream again
Go out dancing
I wanna laugh again
Till I lose my mind
Heavy heart when will you fall?
Again from the weight of this longing?
Inside of me I believe
I thought I found, found me a home
But all I want is to run away
Run from my life tonight
I wanna lose my way
And my sense of direction
Wanna lose my bearings
My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are
I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're all I'm living for, your love I'll keep forevermore
First, you're the last, my everything
In you I've found so many things
A love so new, only you could bring
Can't you see it's you? You make me feel this way
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day
I see so many ways that I can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, the last, my everything
I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
Girl, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
Written and recorded by bob dylan
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say, fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say,
I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And raindrops hide the moon
I'm ok, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say,
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait, and in a while
I will see my true love smile, yeah
He may come, I know not when
But when he does I'll know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say,
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while,
I will see my true love smile
He may come, I know not when
But when he does I'll know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say,
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say,
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
La la lal la la la la la la
(Can we still be friends)
La la la la la la la la la
(Can we still be friends)
La la la la la la la la la
(Can we still be friends)
La la la la la la la la la
(Can we still be friends)
La la la la la la la la la
(Can we still be friends)

Part of me wants to break the ice
And part of me wants to roll the dice
Exactly how it stands
Part of me wants to roll the dice
And part of me wants to leave them curled up in my hands
Where they will be safe and no one will know
How I really feel and I'll never be real
And I'll roll with the punches that I'll never feel
And I'll have a heart that no one can steal
It's you and me and you're nowhere to be found
I'm rolling on the ground
It's me and you and I'm nowhere to be found
Part of me wants to break these chains
And part of me wants to keep them locked up tight
Part of me wants to stop these rains
And part of me wants them to fall all night
Fall on my head just to wake me up
Anything to drench my half-empty cup
And I'm sorry baby I've had enough
I'm tired of your promised tearing me up
It's you and me and you're nowhere to be found
I'm rolling on the ground
It's me and you and I'm nowhere to be found
You will be safe and no one will know
How you really feel and you'll never be real
And you'll roll with the punches that you'll never feel
And you'll have a heart that I'll never steal
It's you and me and you're nowhere to be found
I'm rolling on the ground
My Whole World is built on this
To dream about your love
And to live inside your kiss
Well how can I manage to live like this?
Is my fate now finally turning
My favorite kind of yearning
Oh don't it always go to show, oh
Yeah, yeah
My Whole World is built on this
A philosophy of how to stay
In this state of bliss
How can I manage to live like this?
I was born in '63
With a peace sign on my knee
I said "Mama, I was born to sing"
And I rocked 'til the dawn
With my baby clothes on
(I said) "Mama, tell me what to think?"
Yeah
I love you in a different way
Well you let me be myself
And I love it that way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning
Hey, hey, hey
My Whole World comes down to this
To live in inspiration
Without checking off a list
Can anybody manage to live like this?
Well music is my life
And love, it is my drive
On my shoulders I don't feel no weight
Now I'm dreaming again
And exaggerating
Can you save me long enough to behave?
I love you in a different way
Well you let me be myself
And I love it this way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I love you in a different way
Well you let me be myself
And I love it this way
Freedom, freedom has a new meaning
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh yeah
And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're not to blame
From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry
From deep inside the pain I chose to hide
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me though they're so small
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries
Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight
I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight
Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right
Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow
I won't be happy till I see you alone again
Till I'm home again and feelin' right
Blown like the wind, restless again
My only bestfriend has gone away
Washed like the tide but I'm still alive
I'm gonna drive all night long
This is crazy now
I'll fill the space somehow
If there were some way to get through
This is crazy now
I'll fill the space somehow
I can't walk away from you
Shaken like a leaf, sharpened like a reef
All of my senses need relief
Looking out to see, I still believe
That you and I were meant to be
This is crazy now
I'll fill the space somehow
If there were some way to get through
This is crazy now (like a finger paint)
I'll fill the space somehow (smearing in the rain)
I can't walk away from you (wash it all away)
This is crazy now (like a finger paint)
I'll fill the space somehow (smearing in the rain)
If there were some way to get through (wash it all away)
This is crazy now (shaken like a leaf)
I'll fill the space somehow (sharpened like a reef)
I can't walk away from you
We held hands and laughed
Then we jumped in the water
Off the jetty we'd fly
As the sun got hotter
We were any age
Floating through space
Happy for once
In the human race
On this sweet Sunday, and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
Has finally found me
But am I really free?
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Like a broken record
I've stayed protected
From promises
From disappointments
I wanna hear your dreams
Wanna drift away
Wanna break you in
Oh I wanna stay
Stay in heaven, oh in heaven
And see my life finally begin
Will we be together, oh forever?
Darling please let me in
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Oh I want to stay in this sweet Sunday, and into Monday
Your arms wrapped around me
Where my love has found me
Has finally found me
But am I really free?
If I could read your mind
I hope I'd find
The same love I have in mine
If I could go back in time
I'd try to find you
And make up for all this wasted time
Na, na, na, na, na...
If I could read your mind
(Na, na, na, na, na...)
If I could read your mind
(Na, na, na, na, na...)
If I could read your mind
There's a secret path I follow
To a place no one can find
Where I meet my perfect someone
I've kept hidden in my mind
Where my heart makes my decisions
'Till my dream becomes a vision
And the love I feel
Makes him real someday
CHORUS:
Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't found him yet
But I know him by heart
Am I living an illusion?
Wanting something I can't see
If I compromise, I'd be living lies
Pretending love's not meant to be
Cause I know my heart's worth saving
And I know that he'll be waiting
So I'll hold on and I'll stay strong 'till then
CHORUS:
CHORUS:
Cause I know he's out there somewhere
Just beyond my reach
Though I've never really touched him
Or ever heard him speak
Though we've never been together
We've never been apart
No we've never met
Haven't foud him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't foud him yet
But I know him by heart
No we've never met
Haven't foud him yet
