AURORA
Morning opens quietly
A shadow vision over me
I know you well
Hidden by the windowpane
And all my sadness gone charade
Begins to fade
How long its' stayed
Patterns of another day
Awaken slowly out of gray
A tolling bell
Rolling down the alleyway
Its' calling all my dreams away
My dreams are songs
I play

ONLY YESTERDAY
After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of lonliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surroundin' me
And when I hold you baby, baby, feels like maybe things will be alright
Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its' tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday
(Instrumental break)
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see
And when I hold you baby, baby, feels like maybe things will be alright
Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its' tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday

DESPERADO
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Ah, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the one that you can't get
Desperado, ah, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Freedom, ah, freedom, that's just some people talkin'
You're a prisoner walkin' through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nite-time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you...
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

PLEASE MR. POSTMAN
(Stop) Woah yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman
(Wait) Wait, Mr. Postman
(Please, Mr. Postman look and see) Woah yeah
(If there's a letter in your bag for me)Please, please, Mr. Postman
(Why's it takin' such a long time?) Oh yeah
(For me to hear from that boy of mine?)
There must be some word today from my boyfriend so far away
Please Mr. Postman look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
I've been standin' here waitin' Mr. Postman so patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
Mr. Postman (Mr. Postman look and see)
Woah yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (Why's it takin' such a long time)
Woah yeah (For me to hear from that boy of mine?)
(Instrumental break)
So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes?
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter
Mr. Postman (Please Mr. Postman look and see)
Woah yeah (If there's a letter in your bag for me)
Please, please, Mr. Postman (Why's it takin' such a long time?)
Why don't you check it and see one more time for me?
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh, Mr. Postman
Come on deliver the letter the sooner the better

I CAN DREAM, CAN'T I?
As we eye the blue horizon's bend
Earth and sky appear to meet and end
But it's merely and illusion
Like your heart and mine, there is no sweet conclusion
I can see no matter how near you'll be
You'll never belong to me
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine, and I am drunk with mine
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart, but I can dream, can't I?
(Instrumental Break)
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wine, and I am drunk with mine
I'm aware my heart is a sad affair
There's much disillusion there
But I can dream, can't I?
Can't I adore you although we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heart, but I can dream, can't I?

SOLITAIRE
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared until it died within his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend he'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend he'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

HAPPY
I've played the game of love before
Too young to know how hard the fall could be
I never thought I'd try again
Somehow you brought the gambler out in me
You can deal me in this time around
Even though the odds are high we'll play them down
You may be a chance I need to take
And the hand I'm holdin' says it's no mistake
Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you
All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you
Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you
If this is luck then let it ride
If it's the stars, they're surely on my side
I've never been so satisfied by love before for all the times I've tried
These beginning could mean more than the brief affair I bargained for
Little did I know when we began that my time had come to win a hand
Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you
All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you
Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you
Please forgive me if I seem to be walkin' through a waking dream
Laughter never came so easily, there's a freedom here that's new to me
Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from bein' with you
All at once my life is changin' and I know it's cause I'm fallin' in love with you
Fallin' in love with you, fallin' in love, fallin' in love with you

(I'M CAUGHT BETWEEN) GOODBYE AND I LOVE YOU
I have something to tell you and I know it won't be easy
I've been thinking these past few days it might be time to leave
You're like a stranger, then you're a lover
Never the same, always hard to believe
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowin' quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Fallin' both ways, nowhere to land
So constantly stranded, I can't understand it
This double life you've handed me is like the devil and the deep blue sea
If we go on much longer, if my doubts grow any stronger
Then I may have to let you go if only to survive
Give me a reason, why should I stay here?
I've tried so hard just to keep love alive
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Never knowin' quite where I stand
I'm caught between goodbye and I love you
Fallin' both ways, nowhere to land
So constantly stranded, I can't understand it
This double life you've handed me is like the devil and the deep blue sea
Aaaah aaaah aaaah

LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM
We fell in love on the first night that we met
Together we've been happy, I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems have not been ours to face
But lately little changes have been slowly taking place
You're always finding something is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life because it pleases you
You've got to love me for what I am for simply being me
Don't love me for what you intend or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy
You're really not in love, so let me go
I must be free
If what you want isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you
What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection is only in your mind
For all your expectations love can never be designed
We now take each other for everything we are
Or leave the life we've made behind and make another start
You've got to love me for what I am for simply being me
Don't love me for what you intend or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy
You're really not in love, so let me go
I must be free
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy
You're really not in love, so let me go
I must be free
You're really not in love, so let me go
I must be free

EVENTIDE
Lying under barren skies
The light escaping from my eyes
Below the moon
Walking down the avenue
I'm followed by the afterglow
The velvet rose
Of evening grows
Weary to be home again
Among the faces of my friends
The day is done
Candles burning by the sea
Are waiting for me patiently
I wish the same
For you
