Zuhl's Lyric Page - Martin Nievera: Return To Forever

WEEKEND IN NEW ENGLAND (R. Edelman) Last night, I waved goodbye Now it seems years I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near And tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you? When will this strong yearnin' end? And when will I hold you again? Time in New England took me away Long rocky beaches and you by the bay We started a story whose end must now wait And tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you? When will this strong yearnin' end? And when will I hold you again? I feel the change comin' I feel the wind blow I feel brave and daring I feel my blood flow, oh With you I could bring out all the love that I have With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad again... And tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you? When will this strong yearnin' end? And when will I hold you again? [Top]

AGAINST ALL ODDS (Phil Collins) How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking Every breath with you You're the only one Who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave 'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one Who really knew me at all So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face So take a look at me now And there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds And that's what I've got to face I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one Who really knew me at all So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just the memory of your face So take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space But to wait for you is All I can do And that's what I've got to face Take a good look at me now 'Cause I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds That's the chance I've got to take Take a look at me now [Top]

GOODBYE GIRL (David Gates) All your life you've waited For love to come and stay And now that I have found you You must not slip away I know it's hard believin' The words you've heard before But darling you must trust them just once more Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away `Cause the things you do, my goodbye girl Will bring me back to you I know you've been taken Afraid to hurt again You fight the love you feel for me Instead of givin' in Well, I can wait forever For helping you to see That I was meant for you And you for me So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again Though we may be so far apart, you still would have my heart So forget your past, my goodbye girl `Cause now you're home at last [Top]

THE LAST TIME I FELT LIKE THIS Duet with Vicki Nievera Davis (A. Bergman/M. Bergman/M. Hamlisch) Hello, I don't even know your name But I'm hopin' all the same This is more than just a simple hello? Hello, do I smile and look away Yes, I think I'd smile and stay to see Where this might go `Cause the last time I felt like this I was falling in love Falling and feeling I'd never fall in love again Yes the last time I felt like this Was long before I knew What I'm feeling now with you Hello, I can't wait 'til we're alone Somewhere quite on your own So that we could fall the rest of the way I know that before the night is through I'll be talking love to you Meaning every word I say `Cause the last time I felt like this I was falling in love Falling and feeling I'd never fall in love again Yes, the last time I felt like this Was long before I knew What I'm feeling now with you Oh, the last time I felt like this I was falling in love Falling and feeling I'd never fall in love again Yes, the last time I felt like this Was long before I knew What I'm feeling now with you [Top]

SO VERY HARD TO GO (S. Kupka/E. Castillo) Ain't nothin' I can say, nothin' I can do I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue, hmmm I got to make it right for everyone concerned Even if it's me, if it means just me That's getting burned `Cause I could never make you unhappy No, I couldn't do that, girl Only wish I didn't love you so Makes it so, so very hard to go `Cause I love you so I, I love you so... I knew the time would come I'd have to pay from my mistake I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl Even though my heart aches Your dreams have all come true Just the way you planned them So I just step aside, I'm gonna step aside And lend a helping hand babe `Cause I could never make you unhappy No, I couldn't do that girl Only wish I didn't love you so Makes it so very hard to go `Cause I love you so I, I love you so It ain't easy to walk away When a man loves somebody Hey...yeah [Top]

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME (G. Oble) Please don't ask me what am I thinkin' It's about you Please don't ask me I never can see you What can I do? My first impulse is to run to your side My heart's not free and so I must hide Please don't ask me what I'm gonna say to you I toss and turn, can't sleep at night It's worrying me I go to bed, turn out the light it's your face I see It only hurts the more I pretend That we could ever be more than friends Please don't ask me why I'm so in love with you You could easily make me happy, that I know And I'll try my best to never tell you so I will sing to you my love songs and pretend And I'll keep this secret right down `til the end Please don't ask me why I'm not talking I just can't explain And please don't ask me why I go walkin' out in the rain I could not live the lie it would take To have you near would be a mistake Please don't ask me why I'm still in love with you No, please don't ask me...

SOME GOOD THINGS NEVER LAST (M. Radice) It's three in the morning You're nowhere in sight And all that I wanted was To be with you tonight I've watched love get closer And then fade away I've seen you believe in me I've seen you try to stay But what good is holdin' on When you know that all you Can think about is letting go They say if you love someone Then set them free If they come back again Then in the end it was meant to be I thought we were lovers I thought we were friends I guess when reality steps in The dreaming ends We live for the future We learn from the past No matter how hard we try Some good things never last And all you can think about is letting go Be true to yourself my love That's all I ever wanted you to be Just don't forget to smile When you think of me I reached for the stars I have got them in sight There's someone who really needs me Out there in the night We live for the future We will learn from the past No matter how hard we try Some good things never last Why can't they last?

SEND IN THE CLOWNS (B. Sondheim) Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground And you in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Just when I stopped Opening doors Finally knowing the one That I wanted was yours Making my entrance again With my usual flair Sure of my lines No one is there Don't you love farce My fault I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry my dear But, where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns Don't bother, they're there Isn't it rich Isn't it queer Losing my timing this late In my career And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns Well, maybe next year [Top]

SEPARATE LIVES Duet with Zsa Zsa Padilla (Stephen Bishop) You called me from the room in your hotel Oh, full of romance to someone that you met Telling me how sorry you were Leaving so soon And that you miss me sometimes When you're alone in your room Do I feel lonely, too You have no right To ask my how I feel You have no right to speak to me so kind I can't go on holdin' on too tight Now that we're living separate lives Well, I held on to let you go And if you lost your love for me Will you ever let it show There was no way to compromise So now we're living separate lives Oh, it's so difficult Love leads to isolation So you build that wall Yes, you build that wall And you make it stronger Well, you have no right To ask me how I feel You have no right to speak to me so kind Someday I might find myself looking in your eyes But for now, we'll go on living separate lives Yes, for now, we'll go on living separate lives Separate lives [Top]

SOMEONE THAT I USED TO LOVE (M. Masser/G. Goffin) When I wake up each morning Trying to find myself And if I'm ever the least unsure I always remind myself Though you're someone in this world That I'll always choose to love From now on You're only someone That I used to love As for me, it's getting down To the last unspoken part When you must begin to ease The pain of a broken heart Tell me why should I even care If I have to lose your love From now on you're only someone That I used to love I wish it was enough for you All the love I had to give And I did my best to keep you satisfied I guess you'll never know How much I tried, I really tried And if ever our paths should cross again Well, you won't find me Being the one to get lost again Once I had so much to give But you just refused my love From now on you're only someone That I used to love And I did my best to keep you satisfied I guess you'll never know How much I tried, I really tried And if ever our paths should cross again Well, you won't find me Being the one to get lost again Once I had so much to give But you just refused my love From now on you're only someone That I used to love Tonight you're someone in this world That I'll always choose to love From now on you're only someone That I used to love Hoo, from now on you're only someone That I used to love [Top]

THE GREATEST LOVE AFFAIR Duet with Bert Nievera (J. Osborne/S. Dees) We've seen the broken hearted Now love started And then fade away Well love ran out of energy Somewhere along the way Oh but lady, no lessons to be learned for us We made it The mountains we have climbed are far behind It's been a life long, a love song With every lyric saying that we're still number one And now composed Our love has grown And we have turned the prayer into the Greatest love affair of them all And now we both should cherish The treasure at the rainbow's end The game is finally over I knew that we would win Oh and lady, the lesson we have learned Have helped us made it The mountains we have climbed are far behind It's been a life long, a love song With every lyric saying that we're still number one And now composed Our love has grown And we have turned the prayer into the Greatest love affair of them all From now on in it will be easy So easy for you and I We've found the purpose and the reason The need is on inside It's been a life long, a love song With every lyric saying that we're still number one And now composed Our love has grown And we have turned the prayer into the Greatest love affair of them all...

TOO SHY TO SAY (S. Wonder) You make me smile You make me sing You make me feel good to everything You bring me up, when I've been down This only happened when you are around And I can't go on this way When it's stronger everyday But being too shy to say I really love you I wanna fly, away with you Until there's nothing more for us to do I wanna be, more than a friend Until the end of an endless end And I can't go on this way When it's stronger everyday But being too shy to say That I really love you And I can't go on this way Feeling stronger everyday But being too shy to say That I really love you I do...

KAHIT ISANG SAGLIT (L. Ocampo) Pa'no ang puso kong ito Ngayong lumisan ka sa buhay ko Kung kailan sumikat ang araw at Lumigaya ang aking mundo Pa'no nang mga bukas ko Ngayong wala ka na sa piling ko Paano ang mga pangarap Mga pangako sa bawat isa San'y ika'y muling makita ko Damhin ang tibok ng puso mo Sana'y yakapin mo ako muli Kahit sandali, kahit isang saglit Mayakap ka Puso ko'y biglang naulila Iyong iniwanan na nag-iisa [Top]

(I'VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE (F. Previte/J. Denicola/D. Markowicz) I've been waiting for so long Now I fin'lly found someone stand by me Saw the writing on the wall Then we built this magic fantasy Now with passion in our eyes There's no way we could disguise it secretly (no baby) So we take each other's hand `Cause we seem to understand the urgency Just remember... You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I tell you something this could be love! I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before yes, I swear it's so true And I owe it all to you...hey, baby With my body and soul, I want you more than you'll ever know So we'll just let it grow Don't be afraid to lose control Just remember... You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I tell you something this could be love... Because I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before, yes I swear it's so true And I owe it all to you... `Cause I've had the time of my life And I charge thru every open door Well I find all true and I owe it all to you [Top]

THE GIFT OF TIME (M. Nievera/L. Ocampo) I know I've hurt you once before Your heart can't be denied The right to break and mend again I know it takes some time (oh, so much time) If you believe in love The way that I believe it's true That you belong to me All I can give to you... The gift of time Is on my mind Time and space is what you want I can't give you anymore The gift of time All my life I will search the whole world over Until I find you once again The gift of time... I heard a whisper from within Your voice it soothed my soul Told me a story of A love I could not hold (I could not hold) I can't help but cry each time You pretend that I'm not there I know it's my mistake I should know how much I cared We can find that love again We can start anew Give me a chance to prove myself Let me hold you, let me hold you...
