I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
I came back to ley you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everthing
But you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go
And though I only want the best it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
Ordinary people living ordinary lives
Each with their own problems
Some who never will survive
It's hard to get ahead
And not commit some kind of crime
In these trying times
Lately I've been taking stock of what is dear to me
Please don't ask me how but up till now I've failed to
You're the only reason I haven't lost my mind
In these trying times
And the world has a way of making life a grind
Till all you want to do is lay your head down
And if we stick together on this uphill climb
It's for sure gonna make it
In these trying times
Ordinary people have to bear the heavy load
Who can keep their balance
Travelling such a troubled road
You're the only reason I take it all in stride
In these trying times
And the world has a way of making life a grind
Till all you want to do is lay your head down
And if we stick together on this uphill climb
It's for sure gonna make it
In these trying times
You're the only reason I take it all in stride
I thought I ought to tell you so
Tired of feeling all by myself
Being so different
From everyone else
Somehow you knew
I needed your help
Be my friend forever
I never found
My star in the night
Filling my dream was
Far from my sight
You came along and
I saw the light
We'll be friends forever
CHORUS:
I can't face the
Thought of you leaving
So take me along
I swear I'll be strong
(If/when) you take me
Wherever you go
I wanna learn the things
That you know
Now that you
Made me believe
I want you to take me
'Cause I long to be able
To see the things
That you see
Know that whatever you do
I'll follow you
Somebody must have
Sent you to me
What do I have
You could possibly need
All I can give is my guarantee
We'll be friends forever
Repeat chorus
Teach me more in
Each passing hour
By your side
I know I won't cower
Is it true that
You have the power
To capture this moment in time
Take me wherever you go
I wanna learn the things
That you know
Now that you made me believe
I want you to take me
'Cause I long to be able
To see the things
That you see
Know that
Whatever you do
I'll follow you
When I was young
I used to play
On the sand by the bay
What I've got now
I'd give it all away
Just to have some fun
Life was all
I had a ship
And sailed it to the end
Why can't I go there again
Take me back to then
When life was mellow
Where we had golden sun
Take me back, I said
I can't continue
With the world I'm in
Playing in the park
Every afternoon
I've grown old
Far too soon
Someone please tell me why
I can't be made to see
What good's left in my life
Is this the end of me
Ther's a tear
For all the dreams
That I left behind
The family's agreed
We know what you need
Is a quiet place
We have labored to find a place
Where your mind can dwell
Where you can while away
The hours that fill each day
You won't remember the life you once knew
This is your home
You won't feel alone
With the people here
And with each day that's spent
You'll grow more content with the atmosphere
There's nothing more to tell
We wish you a fond farewell
Maybe you'll find someone you can talk to
Here at Sunny Hills
You will see
People live and die
But how pleasant life can be
Shuffle board at noon
And you're gonna make some friends here
And you'll find out soon
Your life here may seem
A bit too extreme
And may be unfair
But you soon will forget
As you watch the sun set
From your easy chair
Sometimes the mind can change
But here they won't think you're strange
You won't remember the life you once knew
Here at Sunny Hills
You will see
People live and die
Lately I've noticed my world's upside down
And everything's coming unglued
Like crossing the dateline
I'm all turned round
And just don't know what to do
All day long
I keep neglecting
Things I have to do
That people are expecting
What does it matter
How can I work feeling blue
I'm stuck on you
Can't read the news
That's too depressing
I know this world's a mess
'Cause all my clothes need pressing
Everything's scattered
Baby I'm stuck on you
Deeper and deeper I go
Spinning around like a fool
Drowning in love's undertow
And there's nothing that I can do
Night after night
I'm convalescing
I used to have a social life
But now it's not worth mentioning
Just a bit tattered
Baby I'm stuck on you
Only the stars in the sky
Know why I'm feeling so blue
Maybe the moon has advice
That can get you to love me too
The city lights peer through my curtain
And so I'll face another night
Of counting sheep for certain
Tossing and turning
That's what I look forward to
Love laughs at a king, kings don't mean a thing on the
street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new on the street
of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold's up there on a moonbeam
Poor, there ain't nobody poor
Long as love is sure on the street of dreams
[instrumental]
All the gold, silver and gold
All you can hold's up there on a moonbeam
Poor, nobody's poor
How can you say it's over
What can there be that we can't over come
Why do you turn away
Are you so afraid of needing someone
Didn't we say forever
I still believe feeling's strong enough
Before you walk away
Let me here
You say you don't need my love
Chorus :
Stay with me
Darling after all that we've been through
Nobody else can warm your lonely nights
No one's gonna love you like I do
Stay with me
Can't you see we've got too much to lose
Oh stay with me, stay with me baby please
Where is our happy ending
And all of our promises
Did you forget
Tell me what's the use in love if it can less
No I can't never let you live in this way
I want you to stay
Chorus
Got to make you stay somehow
Tell me what is gonna take it
I can't live without you
So please don't leave me now
You are so special to me
Loving you was surely meant to be
And when I'm feeling blue
You hold me close
You've always been so special to me *
When I think about my life
Before I met you
I'd wake up to this loneliness
And long for someone new
You have been the reason
For me to carry on
I can't imagine life at all
If your love was gone
* repeat
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do
There can be no other
I would compare to you
You have been the reason
For me to carry on
I can't imagine life at all
If your love was gone
* repeat
There could never be
Another love for me
' Cause you made my dreams come true
Love until the end
We'll be lovers, best of friends
Stay with me
I see you, in a lonely place
How can you be so lost
You're still regretting the love you left, left behind
Oh darling, I've seen you go through a change
Sitting alone each night
Are you expecting to find a love, love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you'll never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise
There are times, when you'll need someone
I will be by your side
I'll take my chances before they pass, pass me by
Oh darlin, there is a light that shines, special for you and me
You need to look at the other side
You'll agree
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
You may never find a love that's right
Darling open your eyes
Let me show you the light
Girl you think you're so wise
Girl if you're asking
What it would take
I can shed some light
Have understanding
Forgive my mistakes
Treat me good
Treat me right
Make my heart beat out of control
And lift me up when I'm feeling low
Give me one love
That I can believe
Worthy of my trust
And faithful deeds
Tell me now baby
Your heart is true
And you want one love
The way that I do
Girl I've been cheated
Treated so wrong
Though I gave my best
Now I want something
I can count on
Something maybe
You possess
Making promises is easily done
I've got to know
I can count on someone
Give me one love
That I can believe
Worthy of my trust
And faithful deeds
Tell me now baby
Your heart is true
And you want one love
The way that I do
Making promises is easily done
I've got to know
I can count on someone
Give me one love
That I can believe
Worthy of my trust
And faithful deeds
Tell me now baby
Your heart is true
And you want one love
It wasn't long ago
We had the kind of love you'd only find
In fairytales
And not so long ago
We were content to be
The young and starry eyed
Our lives were simple like a nursery rhyme
Once upon a time
Do you remember when
We took vacations
Acapulco
In the summertime
Yes we were carefree then
Without the pressures of a world that's so unkind
Before the little things that undermine
Once upon a time
Before we tried to change each other
Sometimes lovers can't be friends
Once upon a time
We rolled in the covers
Can we follow that road back again
It wasn't long ago
We vowed our hearts would be
Forever intertwined
When making love was all we had in mind
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache, I'll never understand
Darling I put my heart upon the shelf
'Til the moment was right
'Cause I told myself
*Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Now, as I look into your eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you
Like I've wanted to before
'Cause tonight
I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
In this heart again
Repeat *
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Never take a chance
I grew up believing
If you take a chance you'll only end up regretting
Taking a chance at all
Never take a step
In the wrong direction
Risk my heart
Fall for someone
Was out of the question
Until you came into my life
I never took any chances on love
I never would
You said baby believe me
And girl if you leave me
No one will ever see me take chances again
Never give your heart
Put yourself in danger
That's the way I thought it had to be
For me
Never take a chance
Maybe I've been hiding
All my chances passed me by
While I was deciding
Until you came into my life
I never took any chances on love
I never would
You said baby believe me
So girl don't you leave me
I used to think my destiny
Was living alone
Keeping my heart locked away
No one could ever get to me
Until you came into my life
I never took any chances on love
I never would
You said baby believe me
And girl if you leave me
How long
How long have you been away
Oh how long
I can't find the words to say
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
My love
Will I ever make you see
That somehow
You are still apart of me
Maybe we can compromise
Cause our love just can't be disguised
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Baby, maybe you're an angel
Love made its incision
Maybe I'm your victim, oh no
Lately I'm inclined to tell you
I've made my decision
Not to let you go, oh no
Now don't say that love is dying
We've got to keep on trying
Never letting go
Baby, loving you feels right
I want to tell you
It doesn't matter what the price
I will always greet
Every sacrifice
Over and over
Tell me, why is love so fragile
It's a blue condition
Something that can't be defined
And tell me
How can I be mellow
If the love is dying
Loving you feels right
I want to tell you
It doesn't matter what the price
I will always greet
Every sacrifice
When the lights are low
How can you resist
When I kiss your ear
I would like to know
If you've always felt
The way I'm feeling dear
There's just one chance
For you and I
Let's make romance
Don't let love slip by
You will regret
When the lights are low
How can you pretend
That you just don't care
Darling can't you see
There is love for me
In your heart somewhere
Don't let love
Slip through your hands
Oh sweet darling
Don't spoil my plans
Please don't hesitate
' Cause my love can't wait for you
Now love won't wait
Don't you hesitate
How can you resist a tender kiss
I love you
Darling love won't wait
Don't you hesitate
In my love you'll find
All of my life
I've been searching for someone
Whose love was right
And could be relied on
Before tonight
I never thought I'd discover
Such a perfect lover
Show me that it's real
Turn on your love lite
Baby come treat me right
And then let me know what I can do for you
Turn on your love lite
Take me to a greater height
Do it one more time and I'll believe it's true
Day after day
I kept my heart disconnected
I thought this way
I'd be well protected
But meeting you
Suddenly sent my heart reeling
I couldn't fight the feeling
Even if I tried
Turn on your love lite
Baby come treat me right
And then let me knwo what I can do for you
Turn on your love lite
Take me to a greater height
Do it one more time and I'll believe it's true
Make it last a lifetime
Get beneath my skin
I don't want to wake up
From this dream that I'm in
Turn on your love lite
Baby come treat me right
And then let me know what I can do for you
Turn on your love lite
Take me to a greater height
I bless the day I found you
And I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
Honey, what would life be
Don't ever leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
Honey, what would life be
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
When the world gets too much to carry
And when life becomes too bizarre
And all of my friends seem ordinary
As compared to the Rastafar
No, I can't wait to see the city
Have a drink inside my favorite bar
So if you leave me, that's a pity
Maybe I'm better off by far
Oh, Jamaica
Hold me
Come let your arms enfold me
Forever and ever
Someone told me
Love grows
Here in Jamaica
Leaving you, how could I ever
As I ran for the ocean ferry
Well I knew I'd said my last goodbye
And now my life seems so contrary
As the stars fill the evening sky
Oh, Jamaica
Hold me
Come let your arms enfold me
Forever and ever
Someone told me
Love grows
Here in Jamaica
How many times do we have to
jump back in the fire
To discover what I know is true
that I only want to be with you
And how many times do we have
to break down to go higher
Maybe lovers have to fuss and fight
And the things they do can be so trite
*Round and round we go
Kind of like a hurricane
Stormy winds may blow
We can take the weather
Everybody knows
Rhett and Scarlett did the same
We've got to remember
It's all in the name of love
Facing odds that pull us apart
Sometimes we end up
Breaking each others hearts
We've got to be strong
We said from the start
We're doing it all in the name of love
How many times have we managed
to hurt one another
Saying things we never meant to say
Getting hung up in the games we play
Are we ever gonna find our way
I think of your face
And my mind slips into outer space
People run around acting like fools
I'm in another place
There must be a way
Will I never find the words to say
If I get the lines that you will hear
Are you gonna disbelieve me dear
I don't wanna lose your love
Darling you are all that I'm thinking of
Let me say the words that you long to hear
My dear
Love don't you agree
Is it something you refuse to see
Let me say the words that you will hear
I only wanna hold you dear
I don't wanna lose your love
Darling you are all that I'm thinking of
Let me say the words that you long to hear
One day I may find true love that will last forever and ever
Till then I'll spend a lifetime wishing us together
I never thought she'd say goodbye
And I'll never understand the reason why
Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reministing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you know
Oh love plays cruel games
I can't believe she'd found another to love her
Does she miss me?
Sometime I just can't help but wonder
If I could stop the hands of time
duet with Marilyn Scott
I was a fool to be
Thinking just of me
And I thought my self we're better off this way
And I thought that leaving you
Was the thing to do
And I've regretted each and every single day
Darlin' we had a lot to learn
But our heart's returned
And nothing's in our way
Back to you
I'm goin' back to you
No I didn't know what love was
But darlin' now I do
And I know it might sound crazy
But I've changed my point of view
Guess I always knew I'd find my way
Back to you
I put our love behind
Cause I made up my mind
That I'd find a way to spend those lonely nights
And I thought our love was gone
But you proved me wrong, baby
From the moment you came back into my life
Darlin' we had a lot to learn
But our heart's returned
And nothing's in our way
Back to you
I'm goin' back to you
No I didn't know what love was
But darlin' now I do
And my life has been so crazy
Just because of missing you
Living alone was hard to do
Now that I'm in your arms again
Make it forever more
Back to you
I'm goin' back to you
No I didn't know what love was
But darlin' now I do
And I know it might sound crazy
But I changed my point of view
Guess I always knew I find my way
I really can't stay, (Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been, so very nice
(I hold your hands, there just like ice)
My mother will start to worry
And father will be pacin' the floor
So really I'd better scurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
The neighbours might think, (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink, (No caps to be had out
there)
I wish I knew how, to break the spell
I ought to say, no, no, no sir
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside
I simply must go, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no, (Uhh, Baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been, so nice and warm
(Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious
My brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Well mabe just a half a drink more
I've got to get home, (Baby, you'll freeze outthere)
Say lend me a comb, (It's up to your knees outthere)
You've really been grand, but don't you see
(How can you do this thing to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside
Fall in love
Why can't you fall in love
You need someone to love
Someone who really cares
And when you're feeling down
And when you're feeling low
You can reach out for me
You've got somewhere to go
All of my love
Baby you've got it
All of my love
You can't do without it
Just say the word
Darling I will be there
I saw you toss a coin
Into the good luck pond
Maybe somehow I knew
You needed someone
So when you're feeling down
And when you're feeling low
You can reach out for me
You've got somewhere to go
All of my love
Baby you've got it
All of my love
You can't do without it
Just say the word
Every day we go through
I do something that'll please you baby
And I know
Having you around
Keeps me grounded
If I get jealous
If I act like a fool
It's an over reaction to loving you
*I want it all or nothing at all
That's what I need from you
And baby it's true
I'll be there whenever you call
But I need all or nothing at all
Other men try for you
They won't give you what I do now baby
I won't share
Want you to myself
And I'll keep trying
Gonna make my lovin'
The best it can be
'Cause I need your devotion desperately
Repeat *
Just tell me now there's no other man
'Cause I don't want my heart broken up again
And when you say that you'll never let go
Only then will I know
Don't look now
But this good thing could go astray
And I can't watch you throw away
What was right from the start
You don't want to tear apart
What could be saved
Why can't you face
What was meant to take place in this life
Don't try to move
There's no way to improve
On a perfect design
It was meant to be, darling
You belong to me
How could you think that I would allow
Anything to divide us now
And it can't be denied
We could save what might have died
Your place is by my side, baby
It was meant to be
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My love will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy we will be my love and me
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we will be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long, sailing, sailing, no more sailing
Good-bye, farewell my friend, no more sailing
Love, it was meant to be played by the rules
Guess that I'm just like all the other fools
'Cause if you said the words
I would make believe they're true
Darlin' say the words I want to hear
Say the words and I won't mind
Even though they may be only words
Lies, girl I can't hear enough of those lies
So if love's only meant for the wise
One more lie for a fool
Shouldn't matter much to you, oh no
Though it may seem incomplete
I'll pretend not to know it
Maybe love is obsolete
There's no one who will see
Keep on lying to me
Darlin' say the words I want to hear
Say the words and I won't mind
Once I believed in Cassandra
A psychic whose words were profound
She built my hopes up with prospects of love
But love did not come around
Then I put faith in Aurora
Her reputation was sound
Now I'm here wondering where my money went
The crystal ball let me down
In my daydreams
I fall in love
My search is through
They're just daydreams
Prophets say will soon come true
Where is love
Where is the mystery girl
I've always dreamed of
Where is love
Someone somewhere has an answer
Tell me where is love
Can't help but think of Aladdin
A myth only children believe
Maybe his lamp has the power enough
To send a lover to me
In my daydreams
I fall in love
My search is through
They're just daydreams
Prophets say will soon come true
Where is love
Where is the mystery girl
I've always dreamed of
Where is love
Someone somewhere has an answer
Here we are all our hearts on the table
Now it comes down to what we feel in the heart
I know we must stand by each other
Now is the time if you're still my lover
Show me your devotion
Just a measure of emotion
Show me your devotion
There's a feeling there
I know that you love me
All those dreams that we both shared together
Year after year we pushed to make our love go on
I see two hearts that need mending
I still believe in those happy endings
Show me your devotion
Just a measure of emotion
Show me your devotion
There's a feeling there
I know that you love me
Is there time for us
We can make it
Can we find what's lost
I miss you
I need all of you
And I need you too
We've got to see this through our love
Show me your devotion
Just a measure of emotion
Show me your devotion
There's a feeling there
I know that you love me
Show me your devotion
Show me, show me baby
Just a measure of emotion
Give me your emotions
Show me your devotion
Ooh darlin' 'til the end of time
There's a feeling there I know that you love me
Show me your devotion
I gotta see this through
Just a measure of devotion
Me and you, oh
Show me your devotion
I gotta make it with you
There's a feeling there I know that you love me
Everyday I'm haunted by memories
Can't erase them from my mind
And it's not like me to keep grieving
For a love that has died
So if you've really found another
At least won't you tell me why
What did I say
What did I do
When did your feelings
Change about me and you
Girl have a heart
And say it wasn't me
Who caused it to end
Just tell me something
'Cause look at the shape I'm in
Look at the shape I'm in
Don't know why I go through old photographs
When they only bring on the pain
Yes I'm searching for something to keep me
From going insane
So if you've really found another
At least won't you tell me why
What did I say
What did I do
When did your feelings
Change about me and you
Girl have a heart
And say it wasn't me
Who caused it to end
Just tell me something
'Cause look at the shape I'm in
What did I say
What did I do
When did your feelings
Change about me and you
Girl have a heart
And say it wasn't me
Who caused it to end
Just tell me something
'Cause look at the shape I'm in
When did your feelings
Change about me and you
Look at the shape I'm in
When did your feelings
Change about me and you
walk along
The streets we used to walk
On a moonlit night together
How could such bliss
End up like this
I eat alone
At a table meant for two
And I miss the conversation
Now that you've gone away
There's no sleep for hearts that break
If like me you lay awake
That's the risk that people take
Saying it's over
When I get home
Well I pour myself a drink
From an almost empty bottle
Downing it fast
Drowning the past
I hear the phone
And I almost hesitate
'Cause it might be you that's callin'
Saying you're still awake
Do you miss the times we've spent
Wishing you could change events
Then I guess it made no sense
Saying it's over
We've got to be crazy to ever let
Love slip through our hands
Are we living to regret
Saying it's over
Do you miss the times we've spent
Wishing you could change events
Then I guess it makes no sense
I must have done something right
It wasn't in this life
But I know it's true
I can't help but wonder
What you ever see in me
What did I do
When our time on earth is through
I will still be loving you
When a man knows that he's found a good thing
He will try to hold on
Yes he will
I'm no fool and I know if your love were gone
I could not go on
Rina my love
Not a single day goes by
When I don't see you try
To help pull me through
As long as stars are in the sky
Rina I will try
To bring them to you
When our time on earth is through
I will still be loving you
When a man knows that he's found a good thing
He will try to hold on
Yes he will
I'm no fool and I know if your love were gone
I could not go on
Rina my love
I go crazy
When you go away
And my heart begins to yearn
Then the hours turn into lonely days
What would I do if you never returned
When our time on earth is through
I will still be loving you
When a man knows that he's found a good thing
He will try to hold on
Yes he will
I'm no fool and I know if your love were gone
I could not go on
How long
How long have you been away
Oh how long
I can't find the words to say
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
My love
Will I ever make you see
That somehow
You are still apart of me
Maybe we can compromise
Cause our love just can't be disguised
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Say you still love me
I've kept your picture on my shelf
Only there to remind myself
I have always cared for you
Do you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Oh my flame
Some things will never change
I still hold your vision in my mind
Say you still love me
Tell me why
Every time I try to get ahead
I only end up in a vicious circle
I'm safer in bed
And sometime
I don't even wanna greet the day
But you will have some chosen words of wisdom
And that's why I say
When I'm finally at my wit's end
No one but you can heal me again
There's no doubt about it
Baby you're so good to me
When I've reached the end of my rope
When I'm all broken down and I'm giving up hope
There's no doubt about it
Baby you're so good to me
In my world
Everything is crazy in my world
It's all that I can do to keep from drowning
Pulled under the tide
I don't know
What it is exactly that you do
Everytime I'm blue you work some magic
and that pulls me through
When I'm finally at my wit's end
No one but you can heal me again
There's no doubt about it
Baby you're so good to me
When I've reached the end of my rope
When I'm feeling down and I'm giving up hope
There's no doubt about it
Baby you're so good to me
When I'm finally at my wit's end
No one but you can heal me again
There's no doubt about it
Baby you're so good to me
When I've reached the end of my rope
When I'm all broken down and I'm giving up hope
Couldn't live without it
Baby you're so good to me
And I want to thank you
(Baby you're so good to me)
Every day, every night
(Baby you're so good to me)
Everything about yourself
(Baby you're so good to me)
Love how you love me
Sometimes when I'm in a crowd
I'll start reminiscing
And find myself missing
The sound of your laughter
The ring of your voice
But know in my heart
That I do it by choice
Though I try to see reason
My mind always ends up on
you anyhow...Girl
*Even now I can say
That I still dream of you
There are times that I wonder
If you miss me too
Maybe I'll outgrow it
If the time allows
Even though I know it
Lingers even now...Even now
I try keeping friends around
And they entertain me
But I keep complaining
That something is missing
I can't sleep at night
And I don't hear a word
When they give me advice
Maybe love is the reason
That I keep believing you'll
come back somehow...Girl
Repeat *
Even now I go to places we would go
That's the one escape I know
Where I can keep on dreaming
Each time I try to see reason
My mind keeps on thinkin'
You'll come back somehow...Girl
Left your mark
In a distant past
But somehow it's all gone now
Good things can never last
You are down for the third time
And you spent your change
Memories of your prime
Make life seem so strange
Through your life
You've been well-to-do
Times have changed
And rearranged
Now no one remembers you
You are down for the third time
And you spent your change
Daddy won't mind
If I had one wish
It would be for Donna
One pair of lips
Only hers on mine
No, I can't resist
Any thought of Donna
Takes a hold of my heart
Like a clinging vine
Have you ever wanted something
So bad it makes you blind?
And each night
It's the last thing on your mind
Oh Donna all I wanna do
Is somehow make you mine
Maybe your heart's
Not the hurting kind
I've been getting worse
Hypnotized by Donna
In a social decline
That's what people say
If I can't converse
It's because of Donna
Don't be asking me
For the time of day
Have you ever wanted something
So bad it makes you blind?
And each night
It's the last thing on your mind
Donna Donna I gave up on
Trying to be fine
What's been running
Up and down my spine
Have you ever wanted something
So bad it makes you blind?
And each night
It's the last thing on your mind
Oh Donna all I wanna do
Is somehow make you mine
Maybe your heart's
Don't make advances
If you can't follow through
Don't whisper words in my ear
That might not come true
They seldom do
My heart's been broken so much I've lost track
And it's taken this long to mend
So don't say you love me and then take it back
'Cause I couldn't bear it again
Don't lead me on
Don't play with my emotions baby
I've just got to know it's for real
And the love that you feel is strong
Is that so wrong
Don't lead me on
You keep making passes
Don't play games with my heart
Don't fool around
You've got to mean what you say
And you can't walk away
Once you start
When you move closer it's hard to resist
And I know I could easily fall
I'd rather live with the chance that I'll miss
Than end up with nothing at all
Don't lead me on
Don't toy with my affections baby
Why should I surrender my heart
Just to wake up and find you've gone
With no so long
Don't lead me on
Don't lead me on
Don't play with my emotions baby
I've just got to know it's for real
And th elove that you feel is strong
Is that so wrong
You're wondering if I care about ya
Or if there's some cause that I should doubt ya
Oh I can see girl
That you don't know me very well
You're so unsure
You run here and there
To ask my feelings
But friends only guess
They can't really say
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask the friends I hang around
Don't be afraid to come to me
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid
You ask all my friends
If I'm the same girl
You don't understand
You think I'm changing
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what ya see
You'll find I love you
Come to me
If you should see me
Don't ask how I've been
Don't concern yourself with that
'Cause you've got better things to do
Than to wonder where my heads at
I hear you're happy
And you're doing well
And you've found somebody new
But there's no one to take your place
I see you in every face
It's been hard forgetting you
Guess until I do
I'm gonna cry
Can't seem to keep the tears from my eyes
So baby I just have to cry
We said forever
That's what I believed
And to you it must seem so long ago
For me it feels like yesterday
But you probably don't want to know
My friends have told me
"You've got to move on"
Though I've tried and I've tried inside I know
Someone else makes love to you
That's what tears me right in two
Quicksand wouldn't be as bad
As drowning in the memories
So I cry
Remembering how you told me goodbye
Haunts my mind
Till I just have to cry
And hope that I can stay
Well above the water line
I try to keep the tears away
But on any given night
I'll break down and cry
All I do is cry
Everytime I see you walk by
Well baby I want to break down and cry
And I'm wondering how I'll ever get by
Will these tears ever dry
Baby, I haven't said all the words you need to hear
Deep inside can't imagine the life without you near
Can't imagine a day without knowing I would see your
face
It must be showing can't you see I'm living for your
love
My love is stronger like the wave in motion
It's shining brighter than the stars above
This is my pledge of the grieving in devotion
Deeper than the ocean
Baby I'm crazy for your love
In my dreams
I was hoping your love would come alone
If it seems that I take you for granted
You're oh so wrong
Wanna live everyday every minute
Here in your embrace
I'm so dependent can't you see
I'm crazy for your love
My love is stronger like the wave in motion
It's shining brighter than the stars above
This is my pledge of the grieving in devotion
Deeper than the ocean
Baby I'm crazy for your love
Every beat of my heart is a bell that brings too
Through it no doubt of my love for you
Every day in your arms will be easy to do
Now and forever
Baby, until the end of time
My love is stronger like the wave in motion
It's shining brighter than the stars above
This is my pledge of the grieving in devotion
Deeper than the ocean
Baby I'm crazy for your love
Crazy it's true 'n my heart beats for you
Nobody but you girl
Yes I'm crazy you see
And I want you here with me babe
From the beginning
You were my life
And through the seasons
I made the sacrifice
Now I remember
What you did to me before
It keeps bringing me down
And the relation
Tore me apart
You were so clever
Girl it broke my heart
Now I remember
Cause I can't forget the past
It keeps spinning around
Darling somehow
Now that you're gone
I have no one
I write you letters
And throw them away
Only a fool keeps hanging on
When love slips away
Coming down from love
And I wonder why it takes so long
Cause I keep holding on
Coming down from love
And I wonder why it takes so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Through all the changes
Love was so blind
But I continued
Keeping an open mind
Now I remember
Cause I can't forget the past
Come to me
Let me hold you
In my arms
Darling tonight
Come to me
Come to me
There's no need to stay
Alone this way
Baby come to me
Let me love you honey
Keep you warm
Holding you tight
Come to me
Come to me
All your cares will be history
Come to me
Come to me
I would never mistreat you
I would always, always be around
In this world you'll need someone
I will never let you down
Come to me
Let me love you honey
In my arms
Darling tonight
Come to me
Come to me
All your cares will be history
Im gonna love you, like nobodys loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But dont you ever bet me
cause Im gonna be true if you let me
Youre gonna love me, like nobodys loved me
Come rain or come shine
Well be happy together, unhappy together
Now wont that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or out of the money
But Im with you always
I've traveled far
Over the oceans
Seen other worlds
Only one girl
Has my devotion
China my love
I dream about you
And I guess I've learned
There's no return
To life without you
Open your heart
I know that you can
You'll never find true love till you do
China it's true
China I know
You've been conditioned
But on this night
Maybe you might
Forget your traditions
There must be love
Somewhere inside you
And you must confess
Your happiness
Has been denied you
Ten thousand miles
Can't keep us apart
I swear I will come back to you
China I do
China your eyes
Say you're believing
All I want to do
Is make love to you
And not be dreaming
Standing on a catwalk, baby
I'm about to come undone
And things are hard to change
With this empty gun
Out here on the catwalk, baby
Can't you see my hands are tied
To make a stupid move
Could mean suicide
They were rolling the dice
But I never thought twice
Of the ace I would hide
But when I tried to leave
It fell from my sleeve
Now I'm trapped on this catwalk outside
Now I'm on this catwalk, baby
Keeps me in a rotten mood
But who could catch their breath
At this altitude
Standing on a catwalk, baby
I'm about to come undone
And things are hard to get changed
With this empty gun
They were rolling the dice
But I didn't think twice
Of the ace I would hide
But when I tried to leave
It fell from my sleeve
How many times have I told you
You can't hang on to the past
Well, you know I'm not trying to scold you, baby
But the years are moving fast
And it comes as no surprise to me
There's nothing left for you
So I offer my philosophy
The one thing you should do
Carry on
Though it may be hard to understand it
You've got to carry on
Carry on
Things may not work out the way you planned it
You've got to carry on
Tell me how could he ever believe you
Who could wade through all the lies
You were thinking that love would go on forever
But he saw through your disguise
And it comes as no surprise to me
There's nothing left for you
So I'll offer my philosophy
The one thing you should do
Carry on
Though it may be hard to understand it
You've got to carry on
Carry on
Things may not turn out the way you planned it
Ever since the day we met
I knew that I would not regret
I could never leave you for another
But you treat me like a fool
I can't keep on being cool
Now I need some time just to recover
With a ticket to a distant place
I could leave you far behind
Your love has put me into outer space
I'm about to lose my mind
There are things about you
I will never understand
And although our love
Is not exactly what I planned
It was meant to be
Darling can't you see
You and I just can't say goodbye
Till the day I die
I will love you
Maybe it would be worthwhile
If I could make you change your style
Darling you would never have that notion
You would have to rearrange
The things that you would never change
Tell me why you play with my emotions
If you see confusionon my face
Whatever happened to the lives we had
It was easy keeping people fed
But now they cry
There has to be a change
Whatever happened to the virgin land
Now we're left with barely space to stand
The time has come
To open up our eyes
And if everyone
Simply learns from the things we've done
Before there's no place to run... you know
* Every man wants to sleep at night
He wants to feel secure and
It's still the same for every man
Every man must be prepared to fight
Now that we understand it
Let's make it safe for every man
People standing in a welfare line
Don't they know it's a waste of time
They can't survive
Left hungry in the cold
How much longer can we make believe
That the air is really fit to breathe
We can't sit by
And watch our futures fold
Have we lost our souls
Are we digging a deeper hole
Then it's time that we took control... you know
Tearin' me apart
Somehow I just don't care
She's playin' with my heart
But Janet's so aware
And people tell me
*She keeps tellin' you lies
I guess they wonder how I stand it
But when I look in her eyes
I know it's love the way I planned it
I believe in Janet
**Janet
They don't understand it
The whole world must be wrong
Gave my heart to Janet
And she won't lead me on
There can never be
Another girl like Janet
It's only her and me
Together on this planet
And people tell me
Repeat *
Repeat **
Why can't they see
Without her there'd be
No reason to go on
As long as she stays with me
I'll keep holding on baby
I believe in Janet
I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begin bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance make this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
I wanna cry
Wanna croon
Got to laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think I'm -
I'm as free as a dove
Old devil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
It blinds me with love
It's got me runnin' circles
I wanna cry
Wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon deep in your eyes
Just when I think I'm -
I'm as free as a dove
Old devil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
It blinds me with love
Old Devil Moon
You devil moon
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache, I'll never understand
Darling I put my heart upon the shelf
'Til the moment was right
'Cause I told myself
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Now, as I look into your eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you
Like I've wanted to before
'Cause tonight
I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
In this heart again
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
Go ill wind, go away
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood,
And that ain't good
You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'
And ain't it a shame
It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when love's to blame
So ill wind, ill wind blow away
Please let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
So ill wind, ill wind blow away
Won't you let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
Enchanted by the summer sky
And the moonlight
Does a mating dance of love
There in your eyes
The ocean sings it's summer song
In that moment
The touching feels so right
It can't be wrong, my darlin'
To enjoy some tropic bliss
Here in my arms, my darlin'
There's a wind-swept island kiss
To get it on, my darlin'
'Cause tonight was made for two
Becoming one
The passion has begun
See the waves, how they go
In the rhythm, it's as slow
It can feel (it can feel) the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
It's the same with me and you (feeling the same)
Sharing love is all we can do
'Cause we feel (we can feel) the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
Come quench the thirst that I call you
As the breezes
Pull the fire in our hearts
We can't subdue
Come let's fulfill love's fantasy
Seize the moment
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth
I'd rather be, my darlin'
Than enjoying all of you
In ecstasy, my baby
It's as if our spirit knew that
This would be, my darlin'
The beginning of the rest of
Destiny
The best is yet to be, oh please
See the waves, how they go
In the rhythm, it's as slow
It can feel (it can feel) the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
It's the same with me and you (ooh, it's the same)
Sharing love is all we can do
'Cause we feel (we can feel) the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
On and on and so much longer
As the ocean grows stronger
Our hearts will beat
In perfect harmony
Oh, babe
See the waves, how they go
In the rhythm, it's as slow
It can feel the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
It's the same with me and you (feeling the same)
Sharing love is all we can do
'Cause we feel (we can feel) the passion
The passion of a perfect island night
See the waves, how they go
In the rhythm, it's as slow
It can feel the passion (oh, come on babe)
We've been searchin' up and down this weary country
Worn out, looking for ways that we can feed our hungry
We were told the streets were paved with gold
And the future would be ours to hold
But we've seen the dream get bought and sold
*In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
In the promised land
We try to be faithful to our true convictions
But there's so much danger in the heart's addictions
We were told that we could have it all
Now our backs are up against the wall
As we stand looking at the rise and fall
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
Smoldering ice
Concrete and steel
Rebuild the dream that no longer seems real
Tell me where did we go wrong
And what will it take
To heal this condition
Before it's too late
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when, darling, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats and repeats in my ear
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win
Why not use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Here in the depths of my heart
I just can't imagine
If we were to part
Darling I must have done something right
And I knew from the moment
You walked into my life
*Now there is no river
Or bridge we can't cross
No we won't be shaken
When all hope is lost
And the whole world could crumble
Or turn upside down
But our love will be standing
On solid ground
If the tide should ever run dry
If there were no longer
A star in the sky
Then our love would become
Twice as strong
And we would continue
Like nothing was wrong
Repeat *
Hell may freeze over
And war may rage
Nothing can tear at the threads of devotion
Our love is strong enough
Deeper than the ocean
When love has blown your mind
And your illusions
Peace gets hard to find
And your head is in confusion
When you go from day to day
Putting memories away
You know it's over
When you're trying to forget
It's a lonely place
And the more I try
The harder to erase
When you say our love
Is just a waste of time
Why am I still holding on
To the love I know is gone
And now it's over
It's over, all over now
Where did our love go wrong
How am I gonna carry on
It's over, it's over
All over now
And it's a lonely place
And it's hard
My story is much too sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is a case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
Then I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't move me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
I get no kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick everytime I see you standing there
Before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything starting to hum
Still it's a real good bet the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day, ain't nothing like it yet
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day your mine
Come the day your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly, we've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drink that cup dry
Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near
Wait till you've seen that sunshine place, ain't nothing like it here
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine, come the day you're mine
This is a story I've wanted to tell
I was left for a handsomer guy
All I could do was wish them both well
And gaze at my friend in the sky
April Moon
You know me
I have wept here before
Can you believe I went back to her for more
I just hate that side of me
April Moon
My baby left me with nothing
You know the ropes
Can't you do something
To restore my sanity
I remember the good times
Love was strong so I thought
Do the stars cheat on you
Like she did me
I think not
I think not
April Moon
So full, so bright
Maybe one day
She'll be in my arms again
But not tonight, not tonight
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Forget about me
Be happy my love
Just say our little show
Is over and so
The story ends
Why not call it a day
The sensible way
And still be friends
Look out for your self
Should always be the rule
Give your heart and your love
To whomever you love
Don't you be a fool
Baby why stop to cling
To some fading thing
That used to be
If you can forget
Don't you worry 'bout me
Baby why stop and cling
To some fading thing
That used to be
If you can forget
I once had a love that I don't talk about
She cheated on me and broke my heart
And that's why I've resisted your kiss for so long
But you're wearing me down and I can't go on
Each time you touch me
The feeling's so strong
*Can't hold back any more
Never felt this before
I've been captured so let love begin
I'll do all that I can
Put your heart in my hands
I am your prisoner, baby you win
Maybe this time I'll get it right
Untie my hands, I won't put up a fight
I surrender completely to you
Girl I give in
I trusted someone I don't want to think about
And I swore I'd never give my love again
But I'm losing the grip that I had on my heart
And forgetting the memories that tore me apart
Help me remember
Just where to start
Repeat *
I give in to love
I'm gonna try
All that I need are the wings to fly
Take my heart
Show me the light
I don't wanna spend another lonely night
You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a whisky or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
"Get ahold of yourself,
Can't you see that it never can be"
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Tho' I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
The girl I dream about
Someday she will appear
The girl I dream about
Her face is oh so clear
Are you real or is it just my imagination
The way I feel defies a logical explanation
The girl I dream about
The love I've waited for
I know her inside out
The one that I adore
I never thought that dreams came true
The girl I dream about
Tomorrow
Please go away
How I'm dreading you
Can't you see I'm blue
Let me live in yesterday
You know how I feel
Dreaming dreams of her when our love was new
Wouldn't you agree that all is lost for me
And tomorrow's not worth going through
Tomorrow
No, no not again
You're no good to me
Can't you let me be
Frozen in remember when
I can't face the day without her
Until a miracle occurs
Just let me hide
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, honey, I will
You know that I will tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed let your
Conscience be your guide
But I know deep, down inside of me
I believe that you love me
Forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live, tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Honey, my time is too expensive
So, won't you tell it like it is?
Tell it to my heart
Don't you hold back, baby
Nice time to start
You've got to shoot it
From the hip, dear
Wise men wait,
They'll always put their trust in fate.
Fools never take the time,
For love to really grow.
They just don't know.
And lonely dreamers,
Wonder if they will ever find romance.
My heart knew it,
Till you shot your arrow thru it.
For the first time,
Love is waiting at the door,
I've never felt this before.
Now I know the score.
Darling for the first time,
First time.
No more nights,
Of missing the essential things.
You've brought back to my life,
And everything you are, feels so right.
Oh lonely dreamer,
Did you ever think we would find romance?
Lets get started, putting both are hearts into it!
For the first time
Love is waiting at the door
There had to be something more
Now I know the score.
Darling for the first time, first time
I only want to do, the things that other lovers do.
And if you feel the same put your arms around me.
If your tired of being one who's just dreaming.
Oh lonely dreamers wonder if they will ever find romance.
My heart knew it, till you shot your arrow thru it.
For the first time
I know what I've been searching for
Their had to be something more
Now I know the score
Darling for the first time
Love is waiting at the door
I've never felt this before
Now I know the score,
