E.ON UK is an energy company in the United Kingdom and a subsidiary of E.ON, the world's largest investor-owned power and gas company. As Powergen, it was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index but since 1 July 2002 has been owned by E.ON AG of Germany.
It is a vertically integrated utility company with interests in electrical generation, electricity distribution in the Midlands region, and in the electricity and gas supply markets.
Powergen was formed in 1990 as Public Limited Company which was wholly owned by the UK government and acquired about 50% of the Central Electricity Generating Board generating capacity.[citation needed]Sir Robert Malpas was Chairman of the Group from 1990 to 1991. Sixty per cent of Powergen was sold to private investors in 1991, followed by the remaining 40% in March 1995. It expanded considerably by acquiring the regional electricity company East Midlands Electricity in 1998 and the supply business of TXU Energi in 2002. Powergen was eventually taken over itself by E.ON, an acquisition which was completed in January 2002.
Once a mother stood on a corner
Tears betrayed her painted smile
She was trading in her halo
For just enough to feed her children
Then an old man, cold and hungry
Saw her crying and he stopped
He gave her his one possession
A shining silver pocket watch
There's no cross that love won't bear
And when you're down to your last prayer
It will be the saving grace
In the depths of your despair
There's no cross that love won't bear
So the old man found a dumpster,
Crawled inside and went to sleep
As he drifted into slumber
He prayed the Lord, his soul to keep
Then the mother with her halo
Came to him in a dream
And he woke up in a mansion
His silver watch there on it's chain
There's no cross that love won't bear
And when you're down to your last prayer
It will be the saving grace
In the depths of your despair
There's no cross that love won't bear
I've been waiting for a long, long time
For someone liek you to ease my mind
It feels so natural and yes it's true
You love me the way I love you
Somebody, somebody
I've been praying for somebody
Someone who'll squeeze me and hold me tight
Someone who'll love me all through my life
Somebody, somebody
Someone too good to be true
Somebody, somebody
Someone who loves me the wway that I love you
I've been looking from the outside in
Wishing I could find love again
Many came around but they would not do
But my heart skipped a beat when I found you
Repeat verse 2
Somebody, somebody, somebody
Someone who loves me the way that I love you
Rosie was never one for turnin' heads
She was just always kinda' there
She had a few nice features more or less
No red ribbons in her hair
Since that Jesse's been comin' to the diner
Folks are sayin' that she's never looked finer-
She's got a different air
She's taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that she's never been
And all of the guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind
She's taken a shine to life
Now there's a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem
A diamond within
She's taken a shine
Rosie hardly ever missed a bit of work
Never took vacation days
Home, or the diner, it was all the same to her
She didn't know any other way
But each afternoon now she starts to come alive
'Cause Jesse's there each day to pick her up at five
You ought to hear them say
She's taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that she's never been
And all of the guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind
She's taken a shine to life
Now there's a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem
A diamond within
She's taken a shine
Oh, what a little love can do
Now that she's found herself
She's stronger than she ever knew
She's taken a shine to him
Becoming the woman that she's never been
And all of the guys are wishin' they hadn't been so blind
She's taken a shine to life
Now there's a sparkle in her eye
They all missed a gem
A diamond within
The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
The way you look me in the eye
I think about it all the time
The day we met, the dress you wore
You didn't know I was watching you
I've seen your face somewhere before
And I think about it all the time
This wasn't supposed to happen to me
I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothin' to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I can't keep my mind off you
You're not a thought that comes and goes
You're more than a dream or a fantasy
Where it will lead love only knows
But I think about it all the time
This wasn't supposed to happen to me
I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothin' to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I can't keep my mind off you
The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
I'm just a man, I can't deny
And I think about it all the time
I'm just a man, I can't deny
And I think about it all the time
I'm just a man, I can't deny
If I had nickel
For every nickel I've had
I'd be rich now
But they Tempt and they tickle
They trickle right out of my hands
Like love somehow
I think of the heartache, the pain,
and the cost
The friends and the fortunes I've gained
and I've lost
But I never lost you
No, I never lost you
I don't know how I've managed to hold onto
Something so true
But I never lost you
Some things were stolen
Others were simply misplaced
And unrecovered
Like undying loyalty
Conviction and trust and faith
In another
I just keep letting it go 'til it's gone
'Til all I have left is the one who held on
But I never lost you
No, I never lost you
Lost everything else, I even lost myself
A time or two
But I never lost you
But I never lost you
No, I never lost you
I don't know how I've managed to hold onto
Something so true
Still the same old neighborhood like many years ago
Houses sit in white picket frames like Rockwells in a row
I've always been the rebel son but daddy didn't mind
He wanted me to chase my dreams the way he did one time
Now he's on the front porch as I get out of my car
And as my father's eyes meet mine there's one wish in my heart
I'm wishin' my daddy was forty again
He would be young and I would be ten
We would go fishin' throw an old ball around
Wash his old truck go into town
We can never go back to the way it was then
Just for today I wish he was forty again
Now we'll sit and talk for hour of life out on the road
What I've seen and where I've been and journeys left to go
Mama looks at both of us "you're like two kids I swear"
Then the stories turn to laughter
Before the leaving turns to tears
I'm wishin' my daddy was forty again
He would be young and I would be ten
We would go fishin' throw an old ball around
Wash his old truck go into town
We can never go back to the way it was then
Just for today I wish he was forty again
Some say it's just the nature of the beast
When you love somebody so passionately
Time has a way of steeling
That raging fire feeling
Leaving the ashes laying at your feet
Those fools with little faith will never know
Those higher places two hearts can go
Where time is standing still
And love will burn until
The heaven and the earth have come and gone
CHORUS
This fire for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as river's searching for an endless sea
I will always love you, faitfully
Tonight we'll raise a glass to lovers
Across the ages
We'll hold each other and toast to the day
When history's said and done
And we'll still stand as one
Some things were never meant to fade away
CHORUS
This fire for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as river's searching for an endless sea
Thought that I could leave it all behind me
Thought that I could make a brand new start
If I had nothin' to remind me
It wouldn't be so hard
But this voice inside says it ain't over yet
No matter what I do
I just can't forget
Every time my heart calls your name
Your memory draws me in
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
I'm back in your arms again
And for a while it feels like nothin's changed
Every time my heart calls your name
Starting from the very first I love you
You were all I thought about
I been tryin' hard to let go of you
Since the moment you walked out
Maybe you would never cross my mind
If I could find a way
To leave my heart behind
Every time my heart calls your name
Your memory draws me in
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
I'm back in your arms again
And for a while it feels like nothin's changed
Every time my heart calls your name
It started with one look kept on getting stronger
What I've been holding back won't be held back any longer
Let me say to you what my heart's been longing to
Every night I've dreamed about you every day tried to make it come true
Every star shining up in heaven reminds me of you
Every road I've ever taken every choice I've ever made
Has lead me right here to you Today
I been afraid to tell you didn't know how you'd react
With all this love I have to give couldn't go on feeling like that
Now my silence is broken and it's left my heart wide open
Every night I've dreamed about you...
No nothing's in my way no more running no more hiding no I'm not afraid
I wouldn't count the times
We talked about tomorrow
An' I wouldn't sing the lines
If someone played our song
On lonely nights like this
When I need a friend
You'd be the last one I'd call
Oh, if I had any pride left at all
An' I wouldn't keep a place
Just to set your picture
Reach out to touch your face
And feel you in my arms
An' I wouldn't be here now
Parked outside your house
Not ashamed to crawl
Oh, if I had any pride left at all
Only a fool, it still be wearing this ring
Ringing your front doorbell
An' I wouldn't let my heart
Stay wrapped around your finger
An' I wouldn't fall apart
When you open the door
Like all the other times
When your eyes met mine
These teardrops wouldn't fall
Oh, if I had any pride left at all
It sure is good to see you, girl
You're still the only one
You're looking just as lovely
As the day our love was born
Remember when you told me
I could make it on my own
Without you here to hold me
I'm afraid, I'm not that strong
Happy ever after's
Not so easy to acquire
Only you could ever measure
Up to my desire
Baby, you gave up on me
Just a little bit too soon
And left me here for lonely
Howlin' at the moon
All I need is one more chance
To prove my love for you
I tried my best to live without you
You hold the power in your hands
You and only you can
Make these broken dreams come true
I'm asking your forgiveness
I know I'm the one to blame
I've finally learned my lesson
Love is more than just a game
And please don't try to tell me
A little time is all I need
'Cause time, he ain't no friend of mine
'Til he brings you back to me, baby
All I need is one more chance
To prove my love for you
Tried my best to live without you
You hold the power in your hands
You and only you can
Make these broken dreams come true
All I need is one more chance
To prove my love for you
Oh, I tried my best to live without you
You hold the power in your hands
You and only you can
Make these broken dreams come true
Only you can
(Dan Schlitz/Vince Gill)
I've had my share of lovers
But the always left me cold
You're so different from the others
You're the only one I want to hold
And I thought love was like the moonlight
Always fading with the davwn
But you just might me the one
To prove me wrong
Morning light shines through the window
And I wake up to see your face
I don't care which way the wind blows
Here is where I want to stay
And I thought love was like the moonlight
Always fading with the davwn
But you just might me the one
To prove me wrong
But you just might be the one
She ran down from the upstairs
She burst into the room
Said, "Dad, I'm playin' dinosaurs
Do you wanna be one too?"
I set my grown-up world aside
An' said, "I'll be right there"
She stopped to ask this question
When we were halfway up the stairs
"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart, spread my wings and said
"All the way to there"
She called me from a party
Late one night, her junior year
And bravely gave an address
Through the stories and the tears
She was sittin' on the porch steps
As I pulled up to the curb
I could see the question in her eyes
She asked without a word
"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart, spread my wings and said
"All the way to there"
It's the simple things that matter most
In everybody's life
Sometimes just knowin' that you're really loved
Makes everything all right
Children grow and years go by
Moms and dads get grey
Little girls get married
And give their dinosaurs away
They'll live their grown up lives and call
Their daddies now and then
And from a thousand miles away
I'll hear her on the stairs again
"How much do you love me?"
"How much do you really care?"
I touched heart, spread my wings and said
"All the way to there"
We'll touch our hearts, spread our arms and say
Eternity stepped into time,
And drew a mortal breath.
Mystery so clearly seen
The world could not forget
That in the town of Bethlehem,
In the most unlikely place,
God, the father wore
A child's face.
There's something in the heart of God,
So purely meek and mild
That finds its best expression in
The longings of a child.
For every child's heart is hungry,
To be found and loved and known
A someone who would make their heart a home.
My heart is Bethlehem
I will make room for him.
This humble dwelling place
Made worthy by his grace.
This child is still adored,
Because he still is born
Deep in the hearts of men,
(To love and not condemn)
My heart is Bethlehem
I wish for you this Christmas Eve,
That you would find true peace.
But silent nights are holy nights
And wonders never cease.
There's no remembering,
The ghost of christmas past
Once upon a time
People fell in love
And they stayed in love
It never crossed their mind
Not to see it through
When they said I do
This modern world changes so fast
Hearts break apart
Like they're made out of glass
It's getting hard to believe
In love that can last
I will if you will
Once in every life
Someone comes along
Like you've come along
And it would be so nice
If this happiness
Could go on and on
But in this modern world, troubles come by
People let go the first tear they cry
Someone has to be strong
To keep love alive, I will if you will
But in this modern world troubles come by
People let go the first tear they cry
Someone has to be strong for love to survive
I will if you will
Let's give it a try
Let's do it or die
When she drives away when she takes that turn I know she'll be gone
And she won't look back so she'll never know this time she was wrong
I tried all night long but nothing I said
Would make her turn east when she's headed west
But I'd give her my hand I'd give her my heart
I'd give her my coat when the cold weather starts
I'd spend every dollar I got on a diamond ring
I'd give her my dreams fulfilled or undone
And pull down the stars in the sky one by one
But she won't settle for everything
If it's somewhere else always someone new then the locking's what you love
And you're sure to find a lonely life if you look long enough
I can still taste goodbye in that last tender kiss wondering why it ended like this
I'd give her my hand...
There's nothing on earth no more I can say her love may be gone it faded away
I'd give her my hand...
Remember that 65 mustang that I bought in '74
I used to like to take you driving and get lost on those old dirt roads
And we'd pull off on the side and then I'd hold you tight
Let's do that tonight
Come on and kiss me in the car
Kiss me in the car, yeah
Now we can sit out in the driveway
Do it the right way from the heart
Let me take you back
And we'll find that same old star
Come on and kiss me in the car
Kiss me in the car
Kiss me like you used to, baby
Now that old rusted out Mustang, sitting up in the garage
Seems the only time you kiss me is when I'm heading out for my job
I called you to say, we need to have a day
Baby, it ain't too late
Come on and kiss me in the car
Kiss me in the car, yeah
Now we can sit out in the driveway
Do it the right way from the heart
Let me take you back
And we'll find that same old star
Come on and kiss me in the car
Now we can sit out in the driveway
Do it the right way from the heart
Let me take you back
And we'll find that same old star
Come on and kiss me in the car
Kiss me in the car, yeah
Gonna take you for a ride, take you for a drive
She's wild and she's free
That's what I like most about her
She's all that I need
And I know I can't live without her
To be by her side, I'd walk any line
I'm bound and determined
She's gonna be mine but
She's got a mind of her own
And I've got to make her see
She needs a man to be strong
Who's not afraid to hold her tenderly
I know where her heart belongs
But she's got a mind of her own
I don't want to change her
I'd die before I'd break her spirit
But she is the flame
And my soul longs to be near it
I'm making a vow, I'm staking my claim
I'd pay any price, I'd give anything but
She's got a mind of her own
And I've got to make her see
She needs a man to be strong
Who's not afraid to hold her tenderly
I know where her heart belongs
But she's got a mind of her own
She's got a mind of her own
And I've got to make her see
She needs a man to be strong
Who's not afraid to hold her tenderly
I know where her heart belongs
But she's got a mind of her own
I know where her heart belongs
Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz
He's got another one just like it, just like all his friends
His wife is playing tennis and his kids are off at school
He drives home to his empty house, sits by his empty swimmin' pool
But he's got power windows, he's got power brakes
He's got a power bed, push a button and it shakes
He's got no one to talk to, tears rollin' down his face
He ain't got the power, power of love
Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dodge
Swears it's a statue of Mary, keeps his car from fallin' apart
Gracie right beside him, sittin' closer than a smile
She's got her head on his shoulder
Oh, how he loves to drive and hold her
He's got no power windows, got no power brakes
He ain't got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face
He's got the power, power of love
No air conditioning, no cellular telephone
He goes rumblin' down the highway, listenin' to his AM radio
One arm out the window and a smile upon his face
Makes you wonder how he got there, 'til you see him look at Grace
(See him look at Grace)
He's got the power
(Ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power
(Ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power
(Ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power
Ain't that the power of love
No air conditioning, no cellular telephone
He goes rumblin' down the highway, listenin' to his AM radio
One arm out the window and a smile upon his face
Makes you wonder how he got there, 'til you see him look at Grace
He's got no power windows, got no power brakes
He ain't got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes
He's got Gracie's arm around him, a smile upon his face
He's got the power of love
Power of love
(Ain't that the power of love)
Power of love
(Ain't that the power of love)
Power of love
Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dodge
Swears it's a statue of Mary, keeps his car from fallin' apart
(Ain't that the power of love)
(Ain't that the power of love)
(Ain't that the power of love)
I've seen the seven wonders of the world
I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
But they mean nothing baby
Your love amazes me
I've seen a sunset that would make you cry
And colors of the rainbow, reaching cross the sky
The moon in all it's phases
Your love amazes me
Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me
I prayed for miracles that never came
I got down on my knees out in the pouring rain
But only you could save me
Your love amazes me
Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me
Your love
But only you could save me
He thinks half way is good enough
He gives her his life in bits and pieces and calls it love
How can one man have so much?
And still miss the taste of such sweet wine
I'd drink it all if she were mine
He doesn't know what loving her could mean
He doesn't know a single dream she dreams
He doesn't feel the rhythm of her heart
How can he stop the tears before they start?
There's so much of her soul he doesn't see
He'll never know how true her love can be
How can he ever give her what she needs?
He doesn't even know her
I know there's a story in her eyes
I see the pages slowly fade every time she cries
When she leaves he won't know why
He's got a diamond in his hand
He needs to save it if he can
He doesn't know what loving her could mean
He doesn't know a single dream she dreams
He doesn't feel the rhythm of her heart
How can he stop the tears before they start?
There's so much of her soul he doesn't see
He'll never know how true her love can be
How can he ever give her what she needs?
He doesn't even know her
He doesn't even know her favorite time of day
Words that touch her and take her breath away
There's a power that she'll never show
If he thinks she won't go
He doesn't know what loving her could mean
He doesn't know a single dream she dreams
He doesn't feel the rhythm of her heart
How can he stop the tears before they start?
There's so much of her soul he doesn't see
He'll never know how true her love can be
How can he ever give her what she needs?
He doesn't even know her
That has to be the saddest thing to me
(Mary Ann Kennedy/Kyle Fleming/Chuck Jones)
Up any mountain,'cross any river
Through ang danger, your love will deliver me
Everybody needs a reason for living
That's what you've given me
It's a solemn oath I take
Nothin' will stand in my way
You are the one I've waited for
The love I need so desperately
I'm standin here at heaven's door
You are my destiny
For every question there is an answer
A destination only your heart can see
I just kept praying for love everlasting
That's when you came to me
It's bigger then the two of us
I'll never give you up
You are the one I've waited for
The love I need so desperately
I'm standin here at heaven's door
You are my destiny
It's a solemn oath I take
Nothin' will stand in my way
You are the one I've waited for
The love I need so desperately
I'm standin here at heaven's door
You are my destiny
You are the one I've waited for
The love I need so desperately
I'm standin here at heaven's door
You are my destiny
Up any mountain, cross any river
(Thom McHugh/Keith Follese'/Ronnie Guilbeau)
Outside a starlit night inside a raging storm
Words of anger fly like many times before
We'll fght the battle baby
nobody wins the war
I'll say I don't need you, you'll say you don't want me
We'll sharpen up our lies, really cut each other deep
Why do we do it, baby
What are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Why don't you say you're sorry,
Why can't I say I'm wrong
How much more damage can we do
until we come undone
Why do we do it baby
Whare are we fighting for
There must be one good reason
Why we keep on tryin'
For all the pain I'm feelin
For all the tears you're cryin'
Oh, if it's not love
What are we fighting for
Girl, aren't we still in love
(Chuck Jones/Greg Swint)
It's time I had a heart to heart
With this heart of mine
Set it straight if it's not too late
And make it walk the line
I'm runnin' out of time
Desperarte love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna have to turn my life aorund
Or lose her forever
When push comes to shove
Desperate love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna do what I should hve done
Long before today
Set aside my foolish pride
Whatever it may take
Get down on my knees
And get her, darlin' please, please stay
Desperarte love calls for desperate measures
I'm gonna have to turn my life aorund
Or lose her forever
When push comes to shove
(Billy Kirsch/Allen Shamblin)
Before you even call my name
I will be there by your side
When your standing at the rivers edge
I will be the bridge you find
If you said,"Meet me now beyond the stars"
I'd pack my bags I'd go that far
With the strength that only love commands
I give my heart
Keep it with you if you have to go
It will see you safely home
Wrap it 'round you like your favorite coat
When your caught out in the storm
If you lose faith in who you are
I'd bring you back, I'd go that far
With the strength that only love commands
I give my heart
When all that's left of me
All the words in this song
I know this love will carry on
With the strength that only love commands
When I saw you on the street
I almost turned away
When you stared in disbelief
Because I smiled and waved
Oh, the years have turned my bitterness
Into a sad regret
And it's good to finally talk to you
And lay our past to rest
'Cause I have changed and you have changed
And all is forgiven now
And a long and silent last embrace
Shows our respect somehow
But it's okay to cry a little
I know where it comes from
These tears of sadness and relief
When love dies in your arms
You were once my deepest pain
But you were once my friend
And a part of me was holding on
Till I saw you again
I couldn't bear to see it end
With rage and jealousy
A feeling once so beautiful
Should die with dignity
And I have changed and you have changed
And all is forgiven now
And a long and silent last embrace
Shows our respect somehow
But it's okay to cry a little
I know where it comes from
These tears of sadness and relief
When love dies in your arms
I knew the day I met you
You were gonna bring a change in me
But sometimes for a man
Change don't come so easily
It took a little time to figure out
What it is I need to live and what to live without
Many times I've tried
To tell you of the things that I have done
But when I think how it would hurt you
Somehow the words don't come
I just can't risk tearin' us apart
So the truth will always be buried in my heart
I am more sorry than you'll ever know
Your love has touched me so deep in my soul
Just come and hold me and never let go
I am more sorry than you'll ever know
How could I ask for more
Already you've forgiven me so much
And when it's heavy on my mind
You wipe it all away with just one touch
So I'll just let the past lie where it lay
But if you ever ask I'll get down on my knees and say
I am more sorry than you'll ever know
Your love has touched me so deep in my soul
Just come and hold me and never let go
I am more sorry than you'll ever know
I am more sorry than you'll ever know
Your love has touched me so deep in my soul
Just come and hold me and never let go
I don't want to lose you, but even a fool could see
Everyday your love is slippin' a little bit further away from me
So I'll be the one to say good bye 'cause your hearts already gone
Pack my bags take the midnight train unless you say I'm wrong
Change my mind, say you couldn't live without me
Say you're crazy about me with a look with a touch
Change my mind, I'm lookin' in your eyes for the love we left behind
It's not too late to change my mind
Somethings come between us, it's not another lover
Seems one night we just stopped trying to please each other
If it's really over why can't I walk away
Tell me I'm making a big mistake beg me to stay
Change my mind, say you couldn't live without me
Say you're crazy about me with a look with a touch
Change my mind, I'm lookin' in your eyes for the love we left behind
It's not too late to change my mind
Give me half a reason to give it one more try
We could leave this leaving behind
Change my mind, say you couldn't live without me
Say you're crazy about me with a look with a touch
Change my mind, I'm lookin' in your eyes for the love we left behind
It's not too late to change my mind
After all that we've been through
I can't believe it's me alone here with you
Every touch tells me it's real
And the words don't come close or say how I feel
(I promise you) I promise you I'll never give up on us
(I promise you) I promise you always the best of my love
(I promise you) I'll be the one you can turn to because
If your wishes fall through I'll still promise you my love
With everything your heart can hold
And all the whispered words you've never been told
This is where we belong in love from now on
(I promise you) I promise you...
It took a little time to see what should have been perfectly clear
Now I can't believe I spent one minute without you here
(I promise you) I promise you...
She comes to me and steals my attention in the most unexpected times
She's always in my head she haunts me in a good way
I never tire of any things she ever does hanging on to every move because
Everybody knows everyone can see everything she's done take a look at me
She took shades of gray and turned them into colors
And I can finally see tonight what everybody knows
What everybody knows
She's the most fabulous distraction always turns my head
She's shinin' like the sun and it's corona and brings it back to bed
I'm fascinated by every little thing she does she's taken me so far from what I was
Everybody knows everyone can see...
I struggle for the words the perfect line but no matter what I say I can't define
What everybody knows...
I took you home from a party and we kissed
and burned
A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
Instead of stopping when we could, we
went right on
'Til suddenly we found that the brakes
were gone
Oh, you belong to someone else and I do too
It's just crazy bein' here with you
Like a bad motorcycle with the devil
in the seat
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
I did not want to want you but now I have
no choice
Too late to listen to that whining voice
All I hear is thunder when two hearts beat
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Oh, you're not free to belong to me
And you know that I could never be your own
But your lips on mine
Oh, the sweet, sweet wine
What are we going to do
Warning signs are flashing everywhere,
we pay no heed
Instead of slowing down the pace,
we're picking up speed
Disaster's getting closer everytime we meet
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead
end street
Goin' Ninety Miles An Hour down a dead

It seems like we've been lovers since the start of time
This kind of do or die don't happen overnight
It would be an understatement to say
I'm obsessed
Since I live and breathe for your touch girl
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
More then just a little in love
I carved your name on the sycamore in my front yard
I got your picture taped to the dash of my car
You can say that my behavior's adolescent at best
But this ain't no school boy crush girl
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
More then just a little in love
More and more I'm less and less
Inclined to hold my feeling's back
And I've got love that's in excess
Of anything your heart could (ever)ask
It would be an understatement to say
I'm obsessed
Since I live and breathe for your touch
I'm more then just a little
More then just a little in love
I'm more than just a little
It's been a long time since I've held her close
We've misplaced feelings that we used to know
Thought I could see between the lines I read
But I wasn't ready when she turned to me and said
"I can't eat and I can't sleep
Sometimes I find it hard to breathe
I break down and cry, not knowing why but now I can't lie
I'm standing on the edge of goodbye"
All of those years came rushing through my mind
And I found myself back in a simpler time
Just two young kids runnin' on fire and dreams
And in her eyes I realized, she was calling out to me
She said, "I can't eat and I can't sleep
Sometimes I find it hard to breath
I break down and cry, not knowing why but now I can't lie
I'm standing on the edge of goodbye, goodbye"
I would do anything to let her know
There's just no way my heart can let her go
'Cause I can't eat and I can't sleep
Sometimes I find it hard to breath
I break down and cry not knowing why but now I can't lie
She's standing on the edge of goodbye, goodbye
And I can't eat and I can't sleep
Sometimes I find it hard to breath
I break down and cry, not knowing why but now I can't lie
She's standing on the edge of goodbye, goodbye
Standing on the edge of goodbye
Standing on the edge of goodbye
Standing on the edge of goodbye, goodbye
Standing on the edge of goodbye
So you're back at my door
The one you walked out
You made a mistake
You know that now
Will I let you in?
You're begging me, "Please"
What if I do
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
I've got to ask
If it's only more tears
Then I'll have to pass
If you'll open up
Then I can see
Deep in your heart
What's in it for me?
Well, I have to admit
I'm glad that you're here
But I can't make the past
Just disappear
If you're back for good
I want you to be
Just let me know
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
I've got to ask
If it's only more tears
Then I'll have to pass
If you'll open up
Then I can see
Deep in your heart
What's in it for me?
Am I a fool
To think you've changed?
Some people do
Is that so strange?
Our love was good
It just got off track
Is it worth the risk
If you come back?
What's in it for me?
I've got to ask
If it's only more tears
Then I'll have to pass
If you'll open up
Then I can see
Deep in your heart
What's in it for me?
If you'll open up
Then I can see
Deep in your heart
It's been way too long since I spoke my confession
My heart has a burden I hope you will listen
Oh you're my sanctuary
Despite the road we've chosen to the wilderness I roamed
But there I found no shelter like a prodigal son I've come back home
To my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith when there's a shadow of doubt
You're the prayer that mother's whisper each night for their sons everywhere
And your love is the gift that you give when you let me in
You're my sanctuary
I'm standin' out here knockin' knockin' at your door
I miss our sweet communion loves mercy's brought me back for more
Oh you're such a mystery how you make my spirit soar you're my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith...

There is something in her smile everyone loves so much
No matter what she wears she looks like a million bucks
The woman's so graceful, so much in love
He makes me want her again
She's made it all work out the way it was meant to be
The trouble with doing that is not doing that with me
He makes her happy, he makes her whole
And he makes me want her again
Whatever he's made of makes her so sure
'Cause he makes the dream I had for us come true for her
She's such a perfect mom, the boy's almost half her size
He thinks he looks like her but I know he's got my eyes
He is an angel but he breaks my heart
'Cause he makes me want her again
Whatever he's made of
He makes her happy, he breaks my heart
I think I've waited long enough,
Let enough time go by,
To know just what I need in my life.
When I look at you right now,
My heart is telling me why,
You're the only one for me.
An' tonight, if you let me ask you this,
With Heaven as my witness:
Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be.
Here, on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
All that I see in your eyes,
Let me save deep inside,
'Cause I don't wanna lose one moment of you.
Lookin' like the picture in my dreams,
One that I see comin' true.
'Cause you're dreamin' the same dream I do.
Please let me ask you this,
All of Heaven as my witness:
Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be.
Here, on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
You're the only thing I've ever been this sure of.
More than anything I've ever wanted before.
Will you marry me?
I wanna be with you for all eternity.
I swear my love for you will always be.
Here, on bended knee,
Baby, I'm asking, please,
Will you marry me?
Will you marry me?
(Will you marry me?)
Will you marry me?
(I wanna be with you for all eternity.)
Be with you.
(I swear my,) love for you will always be.
Right here, on bended knee,
Oh, baby, I'm asking, please,
