There's a sweet sensibility
And darling that is enough for me
I know you are taken
But, do I get to you just a little bit
I know I'm as close as I'm gonna get
And though my heart is close to breaking
Oh if you're any kind of man at all
You know the woman I am
So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made
I will be just a friend
Flowers grow in the month of May
And they brighten my every day
You're here for me now and I'm laughing
And though I crave your soulful kiss
I can deal with it as it is
Two tall ships passing
Oh if you're any kind of man at all
You know the woman I am
So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made
I will be just a friend
I don't doubt for a moments time
The heart's not a mirror of the mind
But think it through anyway
And if you wake up a lonely child
And want to escape for a little while
Come to me and we'll dance out in the rain
Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain
If I said I'm in love with you
Tell me what then would you do?
All day long I wait for the sun to disappear
So I can free myself in the cool night air
Take down my hair and feel the wind on my shoulders
With every breeze I feel my heart grow bolder and bolder
Chorus:
Moonchild, love it when your light shines down on me
Moonchild, want someone to dance the dream
Moonchild, wrap me up beneath the stars
Moonchild, come to me when the night grows dark
Tell me who you are, moonchild
I swear that I can feel your arms around me now
I know you're somewhere, ooh so I'm reaching out
All day a misty shadow follows me
I can hear you calling, darling,
Can't you see
I'm your
Chorus
Moonchild, moonchild
Moonchild, moonchild
I'm your
Chorus
Love it when your light shines down on me
Want someone to dance the dream
Come on and wrap me up beneath the stars
Why don't you come to me when the night grows dark
Moonchild
Love it when your light shines down on me
Want someone to dance the dream
Stars
Come to me
When night grows dark
Moonchild
Chorus:
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words
Now I feel like a wise old man
I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys
These thoughts are mine for the very first time
Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true
It may sound like nothing new to you
Only words
Chorus
Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence
Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves
Here's hoping "can't" and "never", "not now"
And "gee it's time to go" are words we'll never know
Chorus:
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Oh Yeah! Now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words
Chorus:
Dancin' on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
Only words
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words
Chorus:
When we didn't have to touch
It's just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
We didn't analyze
We didn't have to do anything
It just came naturally
Wasn't it you who used to read my mind
I'd pick up the phone and you were there
Now it's as if you are a step behind
It was an effortless affair
Under the moon I made promises
That I really thought I'd keep back then
Do you remember
Chorus
I don't want to let go
I'd be letting down you and me and everyone
That hung their hopes upon
Our love and our trust
Where has all the goodness gone?
Do you remember
Chorus:
We didn't have to touch
It's just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
No we didn't analyze
We didn't have to realize anything
It just came naturally
Please stay, just one more night stay
Then if you must move on without me
Wait til my wits are about me
Deep in your heart know though I'll start anew
Nobody's you
I will always compare them always
to you, no they don't stand a chance
They'll try poor souls but won't come close
Save me, dance close and save me
Truth be known I will not be whole
without you here to hold
But if you must go like lovers often do
Know nobody's you
Oh if it's pleasure I seek then pleasure I'll find
I'll even go so far as to say
a treasure will be mine
But, oh there's gold and then there's
diamonds my darling
Precious and few a gem of the earth the
magic of you
Give in, go on and give in
I am what you are to me too
A light in a dark room
Try as they do
Nobody's you
Though they move me too
Nobody's you
No, nobody's you
Chorus:
D: I just want to cry tonight
And I know you'll understand
How much I hurt inside
'cause I know that you know the man
I know he had his way with us
Aren't you afraid he stole your pride?
Out of sight isn't out of mind
So don't you want to cry tonight?
A: Hey did he say you hung the moon?
And you made it shine in a sky he never knew
Well I've got news for you
I hung the moon too
D: Ain't it funny how that moon turns blue
When there's someone new
A: Can't believe there's someone new
Chorus:
A: I just want to cry tonight
D: Don't you wanna cry?
A: And I know you'll understand
All the hurt that I feel inside
'cause I know that you know the man
D: Yes I know that man
A: Though he had his way with us
D: Ooh yeah
A: So afraid that he stole my pride
D: Same with me
A: Out of touch isn't out of mind
D: Ooh
A: Don't you want to cry tonight?
Who would have thought
We'd be each other's shoulder to cry on
Life sure holds the strangest surprises
And they're not always sweet, no
Chorus:
D: I just want to cry tonight
A: I just want to cry
D: And I know you'll understand
A: How much I hurt inside
D: Oh I hurt inside
A: 'cause I know that you know the man
D: I know that man
I know he had his way with us
I'm so afraid that he stole my pride
Out of sight isn't out of mind
A: More than memories are left behind
D: Hey, don't you wanna cry tonight?
D: cry tonight
Chorus:
I tried walking around,
'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be
Going out with the girls on a Saturday night
Reaching out to strangers
so I don't feel deeply moved
Yeah they're my friends and I like them alright
But they can't do the things that we used to do
So I've got to say that I miss you baby
Chorus
It's amazing how one little broken heart
Can radiate so much pain
Some guy looked at me and then he turned away
Saw my eyes sayin' I will never fall again
Don't look down
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
Still I can't make him see
I can't call my life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be
I tried walking around,
By myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
Still I can't make him see
I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be
'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be
No, I'm not where I want to be
Oh noo, no no
No, I'm not where I want to be
No, I'm not where I want to be
Oh no, I'm not where I want to be
No, I'm not where I want to be
No, I'm not where I want to be
No no, I'm not where I want to be
I tried walking around,
'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be
Chorus:
Butterflies are free
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
You see a light
You hear the call
And if I don't let you fly
I don't know you at all
So go on and roam
See all that you can
Born unto this earth a curious soul
You and you alone
can make you feel whole
But don't I add truth
you've never known
Chorus
The tighter the grip
The more you'll resist
It's human nature I suppose
But I'd rather be surprised by a kiss
Then under your control
Chorus
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
Chorus
Chorus
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
You'll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
I know all that's in your rulebook
I took more than one look
And I know you are the proud type
But I hate game playing, yes I know how to win
But it's not fair to me
You should move 'cause you're wanting to
Not because I fly
Can you only view your dreams when they're
Up there in the sky
Oh, darlin...
Chorus:
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Oh, darling, yes you would
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Chorus
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Come on, give it to me
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
oh, give me, give me, give me, give me
The stars above
You think you would give me your love
Your love, your love, your love, your love, love
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
Chorus:
It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place
Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Sad to say
It just wasn't love
Oh, I thought that you were the one
Saw forever
It was here and it was gone
I needed a reason clear things don't disappear
And that's how I found the truth
It's just how the story goes
We've been over it a hundred times
Chorus
Some things need no explanation
No chance for will thats free (oh no, no)
Some things kill every reason we have
To ever believe things are what they seem
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Oh, Sad to say
Chorus
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasn't love
It just wasn't love
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasn't love
Just wasn't love
No, no, no, no
Just wasn't love
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasn't love
It just wasn't love
The writing's on the wall
And the words it spells aren't very nice
Although I'm me, you're you
I've been down that road once or twice
And it's ended in disaster
And someone's heart always breaks
But, I cannot help but wonder
'bout the love that we might make
Chorus:
I should walk away from you now
Should just turn right around
Should say I'm never gonna fall for you
But I can't
I've counseled many peers
In situations milder than this
And my advice to them
Was at all costs avoid that first kiss
But we've waltzed in dreams already
And I never could tell lies
And I can't resist the wonder
That is there behind those eyes
Chorus
Dangerous as it may be
I want to dance this dance
Let the world take me baby
But not before I take this chance
I've told your heart good-bye
So why does mine refuse to hear?
I've pondered what and why
I tremble when you are near
You're the drink that makes me thirsty
But I crave you just the same
Chorus
Oh,
I should say I'm never gonna fall for you
but I can't
Chorus:
So I will let you go
Yes fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope it is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go
Sometimes
Two steps back is just what lovers need
Not knowing that it's love
that makes us free
So I'll be brave and retreat
Chorus:
'cause I will let you go
Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go
No it's not, no it's not fair darling
Missing precious hours, precious days
Making you figure out
What I know to be true
Love remains
Fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
I know
But I must let you go
