Vision Of Love

 

Treated me kind

Sweet destiny

Carried me through desperation

To the one that was waiting for me

It took so long

Still I believed

Somehow the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

 

Prayed through the nights

Felt so alone

Suffered through alienation

Carried the weight on my own

Had to be strong

So I believed

And now I know I've succeeded

In finding the place I conceived

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given me

 

I've realized a dream

And I visualized

The love that came to be

Feel so alive

I'm so thankful that I've received

The answer that heaven has sent down to me

 

You treated me kind

Sweet destiny

And I'll be eternally grateful

Holding you so close to me

Prayed through the nights

So faithfully

Knowing the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you turned out to be

 

 

 

 

There's Got To Be A Way

 

A broken man without a home

Desperate and so alone

A victim of society

No one really wants to see

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we just help each other

Isn't there enough to share

 

Chorus:

There's got to be a way

To connect this world today

Come together to relieve the pain

There's got to be a way

To unite this human race

And together we'll bring on a change

 

In another land they still believe

Color grants supremacy

I don't understand

How there can be

Regulated bigotry

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we accept each other

Can't we make ourselves aware

 

Chorus

 

And maybe then the future will be a time

Without war, destitution and sorrow

And hungry children

Won't have to die

If we work together today

We'll save tomorrow

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we just love each other

Isn't there enough to share

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

I Don't Wanna Cry

 

Once again we sit in silence

After all is said and done

Only emptiness inside us

Baby, look what we've become

We can make a million promises

But we still won't change

It isn't right to stay together

When you only bring each other pain

 

Chorus:

I don't wanna cry

Don't wanna cry

Nothing in the world

Could take us back

To where we used to be

Though I've give you my heart and soul

I must find a way of letting go

'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry

 

Too far apart to bridge the distance

But something keeps us hanging on and on

Pretending not to know the difference

Denying what we had is gone

Every moment we're together

It's just breaking me down

I know we swore it was forever

But it hurts too much to stay around

 

Chorus

 

All the magic's gone

There's just a shadow of a memory

Something just went wrong

We can't go on make-believing

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Someday

 

You were so blind to let me go

You had it all but didn't know

No one you'll ever find will be

Closer to all your dreams than me

Believing the grass would be greener

You told yourself "I just don't need her now"

But I know you'll soon discover

You're never satisfied with any other

 

Chorus:

Someday Oo Someday

One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for

Someday hey hey

Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

 

You'll change your mind and call my name

Soon as you find they're all the same

And when you find yourself alone

Don't come back crying

You should have known

Believe me I'm not pretending

It's not hard to predict

This ending now

'Cause I know you'll soon discover

You're needing me in spite of all the others

 

Chorus

 

Maybe now you just can't conceive

That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely

Baby, how could you ever believe

That another could replace me

The one and only

But when your down

In your time of need

And you're thinking that you

Might be coming back to own me

Just think again 'cause

I won't need your love anymore!

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Vanishing

 

If I could recapture

All of the memories

And bring them to life

Surely I would

Hear the distant laughter

Wasn't it you and me

Surviving the night

You're fading out of my sight

Swiftly

 

Chorus:

You're vanishing

Drifting away

You're vanishing

 

I was so enraptured

No sensibility

To open my eyes

I misunderstood

Now you're fading faster

It's suddenly hard to see

You're taking the light

Letting the shadows inside

Swiftly

 

Chorus

 

Reaching out into the distance

Searching for spirits of the past

Just a trace of your existence to grasp

And if somehow I could recapture

All of the memories

And bring them to life

Lord knows I would

But now you're fading faster

Getting so hard to see

Taking the light

Letting the darkness inside

Swiftly

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

All In Your Mind

 

 

Come closer

You seem so far away

There's something I know you need to say

I feel your emotions

When I look in your eyes

Your silence

Whispering misunderstandings

There's so much you need to realize

You'll feel my emotions if you look in my eyes

 

Chorus:

Hey darlin'

I know you think my love is slipping away

But baby it's all in your mind

Don't worry

Hold on tight and hear me when I say

Baby it's all in your mind

 

Believe me I believe in you

There's nothing this feeling couldn't do

Move closer my darling

Feel the love in my eyes

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Alone In Love

 

Chorus:

Swept me away

But now I'm lost in the dark

Set me on fire

But now I'm left with a spark

Alone, you got beyond the haze and

I'm lost inside the maze

I guess I'm all alone in love

 

I look into your eyes

You turn the other way

And now I realize

It's all a game you play

I hold you in the night

And wake to find you gone

You're running out of sight

It's so hard holding on

All alone in love

 

Chorus

 

You haunt me in your dreams

I'm calling out your name

I watch you fade away

Your love is not the same

I've figured out your style

To quickly drift apart

You held me for a while

Planned it from the start

All alone in love

 

Sitting in the dark without you

How am I supposed to make it

Through the night

Slowly fall apart without you

Cry away the hours

Till the morning light

 

 

 

 

You Need Me

 

Wait a minute

Before you walk away

Let me finish

I've got a lot to say

Baby, I'm not gonna tolerate

This game that you play

You'll regret it

If you desert me this way

When there's nobody

To dry your eyes

Suddenly you're gonna realize

 

Chorus:

(Don't you know)

You need me

(Don't you see)

Believe me

Before you act so hastily

Baby remember you need me

 

Honey listen, don't make a big mistake

I'm in your system

You really can't escape

When there's nobody

To hold your hand

Suddenly you're gonna understand

 

Chorus

 

No one understands you like I do

After everything

That we've been through

Baby, you can turn around and leave

But I know that you'll keep

Coming right back to me

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Sent From Up Above

 

I can't imagine

Looking in someone else's eyes

What we have surpasses

Even paradise

It's hard to fathom

Reaching for someone else's hand

What we share is magic

Heaven had a plan

 

Chorus:

Sent from up above

So much love

In my life

I can't get enough

Of your touch-feels so right

 

Unending passion

Somehow the fire never dies

What we share

Is everlasting

Love without without demise

He made it happen

Placed so much joy into our hands

What we dreamed

We finally captured

Heaven took command

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Prisoner

 

Here comes the night

No more living in the shadow of your love

This is my life

You always tried so hard to keep me down

But now I'll rise above

Those empty lies

Stop pretending that my accusations

Take you by surprise

I've realized

Now I'm ending all the secrecy

I see through your disguise

All the dreams we planned

I believed so I held on

I understand

So when the morning comes

You know that I'll be gone

 

You don't think that I'll be strong enough

I won't be a prisoner of your love

 

No longer blind

I can focus on deception

Used to keep me by your side

I read your mind

Don't believe it's all a mystery

There's nothing you can hide

It's all defined

There's nothing you can tell me now

To change the way I feel inside

All the dreams we planned

I believed so I held on

I understand

So when the morning comes

You know that I'll be gone

 

You don't think that I'll be strong enough

I won't be prisoner of your love

I'm just not the girl you thought I was

I won't be a prisoner of your love

 

 

 

 

Love Takes Time

 

I had it all

But I let it slip away

Couldn't see that I treated you wrong

Now I wander around

Feeling down and cold

Trying to believe that you're gone

 

Chorus:

Love takes time

To heal when you're hurting so much

Couldn't see that I was blind

To let you go

I can't escape the pain

Inside

Love takes time

I don't wanna be here alone

 

Losing my mind

From this hollow in my heart

Suddenly I'm so incomplete

Lord I'm needing you now

Tell me how to stop the rain

Tears are falling down endlessly

 

Chorus

 

You might say that it's over

You might say that you don't care

You might say you don't miss me

You don't need me

But I know that you do and I feel that you do

Inside

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

 

Emotions (1991)

Emotions

 

Chorus:

You've got me feeling emotions

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of

You've got me feeling emotions

Higher than the heavens above

 

I feel good

I feel nice

I've never felt so

Satisfied

I'm in love

I'm alive

Intoxicated

Flying high

It feel like a dream

When you touch me tenderly

I don't know if it's real

But I like the way I feel

Inside

 

Chorus

 

In the morning

When I rise

You are the first thing

On my mind

And in the middle

Of the night

I feel your heartbeat

next to mine

It feels like a dream

When you love me tenderly

I don't know if you're for real

But I like the way I feel

Inside

 

Chorus

 

You know the way to make me

lose control

When you're looking into my eyes

You make me feel so

High

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

And You Don't Remember

Shattered dreams

Cut through my mind

Tragically our love has died

Memories confine my head

Bitterly I face the end

 

Trustingly

I gave my self to you

I let you inside

Believing your lies

 

Chorus:

And you don't remember

Every time you told me

You were mine for ever

For eternity

And you don't remember

How you used to hold me

How we'd melt together

How you needed me

How we used to be

In love

 

Stranded here

In notingness

With only tears

And lonliness

 

Foolishly

I gave my soul to you

I let you inside

Believing your lies

 

Chorus

 

Helplessly

I fell so deep

I was so naive

To let you in

Why did I let you in

To my heart

 

And you don't remember

Anything you told me

You were mine forever

For eternity

I know you don't remember

How you used to hold me

How we'd melt together

Together

How you needed me

How we used to be

In love

 

 

 

 

Can't Let Go

 

There you are holding her hand

I am lost

Dying to understand

Didn't I cherish you right

Don't you know you were my life

 

Chorus:

Even though I try I can't let go

Something in your eyes

Captured my soul

And every night I see you in

my dreams

You're all I know

I can't let go

 

Just cast aside

You don't even know I'm alive

You just walk on by

Don't care to see me cry

And here I am

Still holding on

I can't accept

My world is gone

 

Chorus

 

Do you even realize the sorrow

I have inside

Everyday of my life

Do you know the way it feels

When all you have just dies

I try and try to deny that I need you

But still you remain on my mind

 

No I just can't get you out of my mind

I never can say goodbye

'Cause every night

I see you in my dreams

 

You're all I know

I can't let you go

Even though I try

I can't let go

of something I need so badly

You're all I know

I can't let go

 

 

 

 

Make It Happen

 

Not more than three short years ago

I was abandoned and alone

Without a penny to my name

So very young and so afraid

No proper shoes upon my feet

Sometimes I couldn't even eat

I often cried myself to sleep

But still I had to keep on going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've found my way

 

Chorus:

If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

And if you get down on your

knees at night

And pray to the lord

He's gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

 

I know life can be so tough

And you feel like giving up

But you must be strong

Baby just hold on

You'll never find the answers

if you throw your life away

I used to feel the way you do

Still I have to keep going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've finally found my way

 

Chorus

 

I once was lost

But now I'm found

I got my feet on solid ground

Thank you Lord

If you believe within your soul

Just hold on tight

And don't let go

You can make it happen

(Make it happen)

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

If It's Over

 

Won't you talk to me

This is so out of hand

Something's gone wrong

With the life that we planned

 

Won't you look at me

You're avoiding my gaze

And it seems like you've changed

In so many ways

 

Chorus:

It isn't fair

It isn't right

If it's really gone

Then tell me tonight

If it's over

If it's over

Let me go

 

Won't you speak to me

I'm just here holding on

'Cause baby I really don't need to

wait around

If the feeling is gone

 

Chorus

 

I don't need no apologies

I'm not looking for sympathy

All I'm asking for

Is your honesty

Won't you give it to me

Give it to me now

 

It isn't fair

It just isn't right

'Cause if is't really gone

You've got to say the word tonight

If it's over

If it's over

Won't you let me know

Baby if it's over

If it's over

Over - let me go

 

 

 

 

You're So Cold

 

Lord only knows

Why I love you so

You're a heartless man

I don't understand

Why you gotta be

Why you need to be

So cold

 

Chorus:

So cold

How can you be

So cold

So cruel to me

Ice cold

Don't even feel

Your kiss is like fire

But deep down inside

You're so cold

 

You play games with my mind

Cheat and lie time after time

And I know you'll never change

But I just can't break away

I don't know why I let you treat me

the way you do

You're just no good for me

I wish I never fell for you

 

Chorus

 

So many times

You keep me waiting around endlessly

You just laugh as I drown in despair

Never a worry, never a care

I don't know why I let you hurt me the

way you do

You've got a spell on me

I'm hopelessly in love with you

 

Chorus

 

Made of stone

Oh you're wicked to the bone

I give you my heart

You tear me apart

You're like a devil

In disguise

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

So Blessed

 

Lying beside you

This joy is so deep

I reach out and touch you

Tenderly

Looking inside you

My world is complete

I struggled to find you

Now I'm free

 

Precious love

Burning so deeply

Shining completely

For you

 

Chorus:

So blessed

Amazingly

Touching you now

Awakens me

You are my heart

My everything

Feeling you now

Is all I need

 

Adrift in a moment

So sacred and pure

Alive for you only

I am yours

As you touch me so sweetly

And you whisper my name

I feel how you love me

We are the same

 

Precious one

Don't ever leave me

Forever need me

This way

 

Chorus

 

Stay with me

Beyond the end

I treasure you

You made me whole again

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

To Be Around You

 

Something that you do

Hypnotizes me

Sets my soul at ease

Every time you're near me

I'm in heaven baby

 

I don't know how you do it

Never felt like this before

I don't wanna lose it

Give me all your love

(More and more and more)

 

Something that you do

Mesmerizes me

Sets my body free

Every time you touch me

I'm in heaven baby

 

I don't know how you do it

Never felt so sweet before

I don't wanna lose it

Give me all your love

(More and more and more)

 

Chorus:

I just wanna be around you

Tell me are you feeling the same

I just wanna be around you

Every minute of the day

Oh I'm never gonna let you go

 

Every time you smile

It captivates my mind

And it lifts me to the sky

Anytime you touch me

I'm in heaven baby

I don't now how you do it

Never felt so sweet before

I don't wanna lose it

Give me all your love

 

Chorus

 

I just want

To be the only one you live for

I just want

To give you all my love

(More and more and more)

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Till The End Of Time

 

Close to me

Oh I need you close to me

Loving me

Close to you

How can I get close to you

Help me to

 

Chorus:

Why can't you see

I would give the world away

To have you by my side

I'm so in need

Each and every night I pray

You'll come and save my life

I would love you

Till the end of time

 

I think of you

Every moment I go through

Thoughts of you

I dream of you

All I have are so many dreams of you

Won't you please come true

 

Why can't you see

I would give the world away

To have you by my side

Oh I'm so in need

Each and every night I pray

You'll come and save my life

I would love you

Till the end of time

 

Tell me what you need

Let me give you all of me

Without you nothing's real

You're the reason that I feel

 

Tell me what you need

Let me give you everything

Every moment I'm alive

Until the end of time

 

Chorus

 

I would love you till the end of time

 

 

 

 

The Wind

 

The wind has taken you

You're free finally at peace

So still you lie

Leaving your cares behind

 

The pain is gone

Gone with the spirit in your eyes

Now you're wandering around

Above us

Looking downward

As we cry

 

You've flown into the wind

Escaping all the hurt within

Took to the sky

Leaving the world behind

 

So young to die

How could you let it all pass you by

 

And to the wind go so many dreams

That you held inside

Now you're just a memory

Burning in my mind

 

So young to die

How could you let life pass you by

And now you'll never know I loved you

And now you'll never know I cared

 

I really loved you

And now you'll never know

 

You'll only fade

Into the wind

You've got me feeling emotions

Someday

 

You were so blind to let me go

You had it all but didn't know

No one you'll ever find will be

Closer to all your dreams than me

Believing the grass would be greener

You told yourself "I just don't need her now"

But I know you'll soon discover

You're never satisfied with any other

 

Chorus:

Someday Oo Someday

One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for

Someday hey hey

Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

 

You'll change your mind and call my name

Soon as you find they're all the same

And when you find yourself alone

Don't come back crying

You should have known

Believe me I'm not pretending

It's not hard to predict

This ending now

'Cause I know you'll soon discover

You're needing me in spite of all the others

 

Chorus

 

Maybe now you just can't conceive

That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely

Baby, how could you ever believe

That another could replace me

The one and only

But when your down

In your time of need

And you're thinking that you

Might be coming back to own me

Just think again 'cause

I won't need your love anymore!

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Vision Of Love

 

Treated me kind

Sweet destiny

Carried me through desperation

To the one that was waiting for me

It took so long

Still I believed

Somehow the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

 

Prayed through the nights

Felt so alone

Suffered through alienation

Carried the weight on my own

Had to be strong

So I believed

And now I know I've succeeded

In finding the place I conceived

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given me

 

I've realized a dream

And I visualized

The love that came to be

Feel so alive

I'm so thankful that I've received

The answer that heaven has sent down to me

 

You treated me kind

Sweet destiny

And I'll be eternally grateful

Holding you so close to me

Prayed through the nights

So faithfully

Knowing the one that I needed

Would find me eventually

 

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you've given to me

I had a vision of love

And it was all that you turned out to be

 

 

 

 

Make It Happen

 

Not more than three short years ago

I was abandoned and alone

Without a penny to my name

So very young and so afraid

No proper shoes upon my feet

Sometimes I couldn't even eat

I often cried myself to sleep

But still I had to keep on going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've found my way

 

Chorus:

If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

And if you get down on your

knees at night

And pray to the lord

He's gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

 

I know life can be so tough

And you feel like giving up

But you must be strong

Baby just hold on

You'll never find the answers

if you throw your life away

I used to feel the way you do

Still I have to keep going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've finally found my way

 

Chorus

 

I once was lost

But now I'm found

I got my feet on solid ground

Thank you Lord

If you believe within your soul

Just hold on tight

And don't let go

You can make it happen

(Make it happen)

 

Chorus

 

 

 

 

I'll Be There

 

You and I must make a pack,

we must bring salvation back

Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you,

I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name and I'll be there

 

Chorus:

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you

Build my world of dreams around you,

I'm so glad that I found you

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength,

I'll keep holding on

 

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter,

togetherness is all I'm after

Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I'll be there to protect you,

with an unselfish love I'll respect you

Just call my name and I'll be there

 

Chorus

 

If you should ever find someone new

I know she'd better be good to you

'Cos if she doesn't, I'll be there

 

I'll be there, I'll be there,

just call my name, I'll be there

I'll be there, I'll be there,

whenever you need me, I'll be there

(repeats out)

 

 

 

 

Can't Let Go

-

 

There you are holding her hand

I am lost

Dying to understand

Didn't I cherish you right

Don't you know you were my life

 

Chorus:

Even though I try I can't let go

Something in your eyes

Captured my soul

And every night I see you in

my dreams

You're all I know

I can't let go

 

Just cast aside

You don't even know I'm alive

You just walk on by

Don't care to see me cry

And here I am

Still holding on

I can't accept

My world is gone

 

Chorus

 

Do you even realize the sorrow

I have inside

Everyday of my life

Do you know the way it feels

When all you have just dies

I try and try to deny that I need you

But still you remain on my mind

 

No I just can't get you out of my mind

I never can say goodbye

'Cause every night

I see you in my dreams

 

You're all I know

I can't let you go

Even though I try

I can't let go

of something I need so badly

You're all I know

I can't let go

Dreamlover



I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away

I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind

I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday
Of my live
Always
So come and take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

 


Hero


There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

 


Anytime You Need A Friend


If you're lonely
And need a friend
And troubles seem like
They never end
Just remember to keep the faith
And love will be there to light the way

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright

When the shadows are closing in
And your spirit diminishing
Just remember you're not alone
And love will be there
To guide you home

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
Love will make it alright

If you just believe in me
I will love you endlessly
Take my hand
Take me into your heart
I'll be there forever baby
I won't let go
I'll never let go

Anytime you need a friend
I will be here
You'll never be alone again
So don't you fear
Even if you're miles away
I'm by your side
So don't you ever be lonely
It's alright
It's alright

 


Music Box


When I am lost
You shine a light for me and set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears
And take me through

The loneliness
And emptiness
Through the darkest night
Somehow I survive
Through it all

When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee

If I should fall
Your love is strong enough to life me up
If I'm afraid
You chase away my fears
And take me to

A brighter place
Beyond the rain
And I feel alright
Because you're by my side
Through it all

When you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have I want to give to thee

You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright
'Cause you're by my side

Through it all
You tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love
Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
And baby all I have I want to give to thee

Want to give you all of my love
Now and forever my love
All I have I want to give to thee

 


Now That I Know


I never knew
If I could believe in you
I thought I was just a diversion
And you were killing some time
My friends they told me
To leave you

They said you would never
Be mine
But you gave me your love
And you said I'm the one
You want for the rest of
Your life

Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see
This is not make believe anymore

I was afraid
It was all a masquerade
That I was only a plaything
And you would leave me behind
But now I feel so secure
By your side
I can conquer the world
I gave you my love
And I know you're the one
I want for the rest
Of my life

Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see
This is not make believe anymore

Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see
This is not make believe anymore

(I really feel it)
So much love
(I really feel it)
So much joy
(I feel it)
Sweet sweet ecstasy
'Cause you opened my eyes
And I realize
Your love is for real

Now that I know
That you want me for me
I can be what you want
I can be what you need
Now that I know
That your love is for real
I can finally see
This is not make believe anymore

 


Never Forget You


I won't see your smile
And I won't hear you
Laugh anymore
Every night
I won't see you
Walk through that door

'Cause time wasn't on
Your side
It isn't right
I can't say I love you
It's too late to
Tell you
Bit I really need
You to know

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

Baby can you hear me
Wherever you
May be tonight
Are you near me
I need you to be by
My side

'Cause I never said
Goodbye
It isn't right
I should have said
I love you
Why didn't I just
Tell you
God knows I need
You to know

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

Somewhere I know you'll be
With me
Someday in another time
But right now you're gone
You just vanished away
But I'll never leave
You behind

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

 


Without You


No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

 


Just To Hold You Once Again


Do you know
How it feels
Lying here without you baby
You could never understand, what's happening to me
So alone
Nothing's real
I just dream about you baby
And forever wonder why you had
To break free

Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again

It's so hard
To believe
I don't have you right beside me
As I long to touch you
But you're out of my reach
And my heart doesn't feel
It's so very cold inside me
Just a shadow of someone that I used to be

Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again

You were the only one (only one)
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Where did I go wrong

Even though you're not my lover
And even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
Just to hold you once again

 


I've Been Thinking About You

We've known each other
For a long long time
But I never really noticed
All the magic in your eyes
I've been around you
A thousand times before
And you've always been a friend to me
But now I'm wanting more
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You're the one that's right for me
All the while I couldn't see
And now I feel so strange
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And I don't know what to do
'Cause baby

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me

But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

There's no explaining how I feel inside
I'm going thru a transformation
That's so hard for me to hide
I had a revelation that
Finally opened up my eyes
The one I spent a lifetime searching for
Was right here all the time
I was oblivious so very out of touch
All the while I couldn't see
You're the one that's right for me
And now my world has changed
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And it's all because of you
Sweet baby

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me

But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me

But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

Don't you know
That you're blowing my mind
What you do to me
I can't describe
Baby I can't hold back anymore
I just can't conceal it
You're the one I really adore

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me

But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way

I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

 


All I've Ever Wanted



If you only know
What I feel for you
If you only lived for me
The way I live for you
I'd be in heaven
My dreams would come true

'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you

If you were my own
To caress and hold
I would shower you with love
And drown within your soul
Because I live and breathe for you
And I really need to know

That all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you

Everything I do is for you
You are every part of me
And I don't want to face
Another day
Alone
Without our love

'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you

 


Everything Fades Away


Baby, don't tell me you miss me, you love me
Don't whisper gently that you can forget me
Tonight tonight cause I've heard it all before
Just turn away don't play that game
Baby I don't want to anymore
Chorus: Let it all fade away
Don't you know that love is gone
It's too late
Everything fades away
Nothing ever stays the same
Baby
Don't tell me you're sorry you hurt me
How many times can I give in
How many battles can you win
Oh don't beg for mercy
Tonight tonight cause I can't take any more
Just turn around don't break me down
Baby I don't love you like before
Chorus
Intermediate
Chorus 2x
It only fades, it only fades
Baby don't tell me you miss me you love me...

All I Want For Christmas Is You

 

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There's just one thing I need

I don't care about presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true...

All I want for Christmas

Is you...

 

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you...

You baby

 

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Baby all I want for Christmas is you

You...

 

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -

won't you please bring my baby to me...

 

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just want to see baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want him for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is

You...

 

All I want for Christmas is you baby... (repeat)

 

 

 

 

O Holy Night

 

O holy night the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

 

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new glorious morn

Fall on your knees

O hear the angels' voices

O night divine

O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night

O night divine

 

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

O hear the angels' voices

O night divine

O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night

O night divine

But it's not like Christmas at all

Cuz I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

Miss You Most At Christmas Time

 

The fire is burning

The room's all aglow

Outside the December wind blows

Away in the distance the carolers sing in the snow

Everybody's laughing

The world is celebrating

And everyone's so happy

Except for me tonight

 

Because I miss you

Most at Christmas time

And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

 

I gaze out the window

This cold winter's night

At all of the twinkling lights

Alone in the darkness

Remembering when you were mine

Everybody's smiling

The whole world is rejoicing

And everyone's embracing

Except for you and I

 

Baby I miss you

Most at Christmas time

And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

 

In the springtime those memories start to fade

With the April rain

Through the summer days

Till autumn's leaves are gone

I get by without you

Till the snow begins to fall

 

And then I miss you

Most at Christmas time

And I can't get you

Get you off my mind

Every other season comes along

And I'm all right...

But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

Talking sweet and looking fine

I get kinda hectic inside

Mmm, baby I'm so into you

Darling, if you only knew

All the things that flow through my mind

You come and you take me

Underneath The Stars

 

One summer night

We ran away for a while

Laughing, we hurried beneath the sky

To an obscure place to hide

That no-one could find

 

And we drifted to another state of mind

And imagined I was yours and you were mine

As we lay upon the grass

There in the dark

Underneath the stars

(Young love)

Underneath the stars

 

Weak in the knees

Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze

So shy, a bundle of butterflies

Flush with heat of desire

On a natural high

 

As we drifted to another place in time

And the feeling was so heady and sublime

As I lost my heart to you

There in the dark

Underneath the stars

(Young love)

 

Beautiful and bittersweetly

You were fading into me

And I was gently fading into you

But the time went sailing by

Reluctantly we said goodbye

And left our secret place so far behind

And I lay in bed all night

And I was drifting

Drifting

Drifting

Drifting

 

And I was yours

And you were my own

My own baby

As we lay

As we

Lay underneath the stars

(Young love)

 

 

 

 

One Sweet Day

 

Sorry I never told you

All I wanted to say

And now it's too late to hold you

'Cause you've flown away

So far away

 

Never had I imagined

Living without your smile

Feeling and knowing you hear me

It keeps me alive

Alive

 

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

 

Darling, I never showed you

Assumed you'd always be there

I took your presence for granted

But I always cared

And I miss the love we shared

 

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

 

Although the sun will never shine the same

I'll always look to a brighter day

Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep

You will always listen as I pray

 

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

 

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

 

Sorry I never told you

All I wanted to say

 

 

 

 

Open Arms

 

Lying beside you here in the dark

Feeling your heart beat with mine

Softly you whisper

You're so sincere

How could our love be so blind

 

We sailed on together

We drifted apart

And here you are by my side

 

So now I come to you with open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am with open arms

Hoping you'll see what your love means to me

Open arms

 

Living without you

Living alone

This empty house seems so cold

Wanting to hold you

Wanting you near

How much I wanted you home

 

But now that you've come back

Turned night into day

I need you to stay

 

So now I come to you with open arms

Nothing to hide

Believe what I say

So here I am with open arms

Hoping you'll see what your love means to me

Open arms

Arms

Arms

We were as one, babe

For a moment in time

Our love will never die

I Am Free

 

Once I was a prisoner

Lost inside myself

With the world surrounding me

Wandering through the misery

But now I am free

 

You gave me a breath of life

Unclouded my eyes

With a sweet serenity

Lighting a ray of hope for me

And now I am free

 

Free to live

Free to laugh

Free to soar

Free to shine

Free to give

Free to love

Free enough to fly

 

Once I was all so alone

Unsteady and cold

But your love rained down upon me

Washing away uncertainty

 

But now

I am free

 

 

 

 

When I Saw You

 

 

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me

Transcending space and time

And I was rendered still

There were no words for me to find at all

As I stood there beside myself

I could see you and no-one else

 

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same

 

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in

Changing you with the tide

And dawn's ribbon of light

Bursts through the dark

Wakening you inside

And I thought it was all untrue

Until there, all at once, I knew

 

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same

 

With no beginning

And without an end

You are the one for me

And it's evident

And your eyes told me so

Your eyes let me know

 

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same

 

 

 

 

Long Ago

 

Once upon a time

You whispered softly in my ear

Loving words and fairytales

That I longed to hear

I gave you my body and soul

And you took control

As you slowly swept me up

And carried me away

 

You told me pretty lies

As I held onto you tight

You knew how to get your way

Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

And take me back to yesterday

 

Every now and then

I drown in thoughts of yesterday

And the fools' paradise that you blew away

I feel you beside me again

And remember when you came to my window

On a dark and stormy day

 

Baby, I need you now

Tonight I'm crumbling down

Sinking in the memories

Shadows of you keep washing over me

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

And take me back to yesterday

 

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

(So long ago)

 

Baby, I need you now

'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down

Sinking in the memories

Shadows of you keep washing over me

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

And take me back to yesterday

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

 

Long ago

You used to want me

Now it's all so far away

But you still haunt me

 

 

 

 

Melt Away

 

You come to me with a casual flow

And suddenly, my defences start to go

When you talk to me in that sensual tone

It envelops me and I lose my self control

 

And baby, I just melt away

Fall like rain

Everytime I see your face, I go off

I just want to break it down

Anytime you come around

Maybe I could melt away in your arms

 

Imagining that your taking it slow

And so tenderly

Till the feeling overflows

When you look at me I go soft and cave in

And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakening

 

And baby, I just melt away

Fall like rain

Everytime I see your face, I go off

I just want to break it down

Anytime you come around

Maybe I could melt away in your arms

 

You and me in a cloud of reverie

Spin around inside my head unendingly

Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize

Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine

 

And baby, I just melt away

Fall like rain

Everytime I see your face, I go off

I just want to break it down

Anytime you come around

Maybe I could melt away in your arms

 

And baby, I just melt away

Fall like rain

Everytime I see your face, I go off

I just want to break it down

Anytime you come around

Maybe I could melt away in your arms

 

 

 

 

 

Forever

 

Those days of love are gone

Our time is through

Still I burn on and on

All of my life

Only for you

 

From now

Until forever

And ever, my darling

Forever

You will always be the only one

You will always be the only one

 

As long as I shall live

I'll hold you dear

And I will reminisce

Of our love all through the years

 

From now

Until forever

And ever, my darling

Forever

You will always be the only one

You will always be the only one

 

If you should ever need me

Unfailingly, I will return to your arms

And unburden your heart

And if you should remember

That we belong together

Never be ashamed

Call my name

Tell me I'm the one you treasure

 

Forever

And ever, my darling

Forever

You will always be the only one

You will always be the only one

You will always be the only one

 

Forever

You will always be the only one

Forever

You will always be the only one

Forever

You will always be the only one

Forever

You will always be the only one

Forever

You will always be the only one

 

 

 

 

Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)

 

It's so sweet

In my daydreams

 

Every night you creep into my dreams

Fantasy

It's so deep, but it's a fantasy

Every night you creep into my dream

It's so real

(In my daydreams)

It's just a sweet

It's just a sweet

 

(In my daydreams)

It seems so real

You touch me

You come into my room

Come to me

It's just a fantasy

It feels so sweet

But it's just not real

Oh baby it's just a sweet fantasy

 

And daydream is all that I can do

I feel raptured over you

In silence

I keep it to myself

Come take me

I don't want nobody else

 

And it's sweet

I feel sweet

And it's sweet

I feel sweet

And it's sweet

I feel sweet

 

And it's deep

I feel really deep

It's just a sweet

It's just a sweet

You're like the kiss of life

You're like the kiss of life

Beaming in the sky

 

Oh you're just a fantasy

Oh baby, you come into my room

Yeah

But you're just a fantasy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking In

 

You look at me and see the girl

Who lives inside the golden world

But don't believe

That's all there is to see

You'll never know the real me

 

She smiles through a thousand tears

And harbours adolescent fears

She dreams of all

That she can never be

She wades in insecurity

And hides herself inside of me

 

Don't say she takes it all for granted

I'm well aware of all I have

Don't think that I am disenchanted

Please understand

 

It seems as though I've always been

Somebody outside looking in

Well, here I am for all of them to bleed

But they can't take my heart from me

And they can't bring me to my knees

They'll never know the real me

 

Butterfly (1997)

 

Honey

 

Verse 1

 

Honey you can have me

When you want me

If you simply ask me to be there

And you're the only one who

Makes me come running

'Cause what you got is far

Beyond compare

 

And it's just like honey

When your love comes over me

Oh baby I've got a dependancy

Always strung out for another

Taste of your honey

 

Chorus 1

 

It's like honey when it washes over me

You know sugar never ever was so seet

And I'm dying for you, crying for you, I adore you

One hit of your love addicted me

Now I'm strung out on you darlin'

Don't you see every night and day

I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

 

Honey I can't describe

How good it feels inside

Honey I can't describe

How good it feels inside

 

Verse 2

 

I can't be elusive

With your honey

Because it's blatant

That I'm feeling you

And it's too hard for me

To leave abruptly

'Cause you're the only thing

I wanna do

 

And it's just like honey

When your love comes over me

Oh baby I've got a dependancy

Always strung out for another

Taste of honey

 

Chorus 2

 

It's like honey when it washes over me

You know sugar never ever was so sweet

And I'm dying for you crying for you I adore you

One hit of your love addicted me

Now I'm strung out on you darlin'

Don't you see every night and day

I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

 

 

 

 

Butterfly

 

Verse 1

When you love someone so deeply

They become your life

Its easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imagined I could

Keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you

I must open up my hands

And watch you rise

 

Chorus 1

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

 

Verse 2

I have learned that beauty

Has to flourish in the light

Wild horses run unbridled

Or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage

To be all that I can

And I truly feel your heart will

Lead you back to me when you're

Ready to land

 

Chorus 2

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

 

Bridge

I can't pretend these tears

Aren't over flowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt from

Almost overtaking me

But I will stand and say goodbye

For you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly

 

Chorus 3

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun (Fly...to the sun)

If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)

We truly were meant to be (Spread your wings and fly)

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

 

 

 

 

My All

 

Verse 1

I am thinking of you

In my sleepless solitude tonight

If it's wrong to love you

Then my heart just won't let me be right

'Cause I've drowned in you

And I won't pull through

Without you by my side

 

Chorus 1

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

'Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

 

Verse 2

Baby can you feel me

Imagining I'm looking in your eyes

I can see you clearly

Vividly emblazoned in my mind

And yet you're so far

Like a distant star

I'm wishing on tonight

 

Chorus 2

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

'Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

 

** Guitar Break

 

Chorus 3

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

'Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

Give my all for your love

Tonight

 

 

 

 

The Roof

 

Verse 1

It wasn't raining yet

But it was definitely a little misty on

That warm November night

And my heart was pounding

My inner voice resounding

Begging me to turn away

But I just had to see your face

To feel alive

And then you casually walked in the room

And I was twisted in the web

Of my desire for you

(And I was twisted)

My apprehension blew away

I only wanted you

To taste my sadness

As you kissed me in the dark

 

Chorus 1

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

 

Verse 2

And so we finished the Moet and

started feeling liberated

And I surrendered as you took me

In your arms

I was so caught up in the moment

I couldn't bear to let you go yet

So I threw caution to the wind

And started listening to my longing heart

And then you softly pressed your lips to mine

And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed

For such a long time

(And I was lifted)

And for a while I forgot

The sorrow and the pain

And melted with you as we stood

There in the rain

 

Chorus 2

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

 

Bridge

Last night I dreamed that I

Whispered the words I love you

And touched you so very

Subtly as we were kissing goodbye

(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)

 

Chorus 3

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

(Envision you caressing me)

And go back in time

(I go back)

To relieve the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

(On the roof that rainy night)

 

Chorus 4

Every time I feel the need

(When I feel the need)

I envision you caressing me

(I envision you over and over and over again)

And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I

(It was oh so sweet you and I)

On the rooftop that rainy night

(On that rainy night)

 

Chorus 5

Every time I feel the need

(Last nigth I had the strangest dream...)

I envision you caressing me

(It was actually quite symbolic)

And go back in time

(As I whispered...That I loved you)

To relieve the splendor of you and I

(...very subtly)

 

Chorus 6

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

And go back in time

To relieve the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

 

 

 

 

Fourth Of July

 

Intro

Trembling

Starry eyed

As you put your hand in mine...

 

Verse 1

It was twilight

On the Fourth of July

Sparkling colors were

Strewn across the sky

And we sat close enough

That we just barely touched

While roman candles

Went soaring above us and baby

 

Chorus 1

Then you put your hand in mine

And we wandered away

I was trembling inside

But I wanted to stay

Pressed against you there and leave the world behind

On that Fourth of july

 

Verse 2

So starry eyed

On the flowery hillside

Breathless and fervid

Amid the dandelions

As it swept over me

Like the wind trough the trees

I felt you sigh with a

Sweet intensity and baby

 

Chorus 2

Then you put your hand in mine

And we floated away

Delicately lay entwined

In an intimate daze

A crescent moon began to shine

And I wanted to stay

Tangled up with you among the fireflies

On that Fourth of july

 

Bridge

Thunder clouds

Hung around

So threateningly

Ominously hovering

And the sky

Opened wide

Showering

 

Chorus 3

Then you put your hand in mine

And we ran from the rain

Tentatively kissed goodnight

And went our separate ways

And I've never truly felt the way that I

Felt the Fourth of July

 

Outro

Truly I have never felt the same inside

Like that Fourth of July

Truly I could never feel the same as I

Felt that Fourth of July

 

 

 

 

Breakdown

 

Verse 1

You call yesterday to basically say

That you care for me but that you're just not in love

Immediatly I pretended to beel similary

And led you to believe I was O.K.

To just walk away from the one thing

That's unyielding and scared to me

 

Chorus 1

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it

And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you

But in reality I'm slowly loosing my mind

Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly

'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night

And trun down all the lights and then break down and cry

 

Verse 2

So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to

Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't

got a clue

Of the pain that rejection is putting you through

Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"

Do you lash out and say: "How dare you leave this way"

Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

 

Chorus 2

Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it

And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you

But in reality I'm slowly loosing my mind

Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly

'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night

And trun down all the lights and then break down and cry

And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you

'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering

So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night

And trun down all the lights and then break down and cry

 

 

 

 

Babydoll

 

Verse 1

It's 2:11 and I'm stressing

Watching TV in my hotel suite

I check my service every second

At 2:10 you still hadn't called me

So I'm gonna leave my cell phone

Turned on in my purse by the bed

And before I fall asleep

I guess I'll just check my machine

Again and again because I'm

Obsessing on you

 

Chorus 1

I wanna be your babydoll

Wrap me up nice and tight

Love me through the night

Come lay me down

Enfold me in your arms

Cover me with velvet kisses

Rock me on and on

And whisper softly to me

You wanna be my babydoll

 

Verse 2

Zoning out thinking about

You and me between the sheets

I want to get intimate

But you're not within my reach

So I'll have a little more wine

And I'll try to drink you

Out of my head

And I'll lay awake a while

'Til I'm high enough I can

Forget about you until

I wake up again

 

Chorus 2

I wanna be your babydoll

Wrap me up nice and tight

Love me through the night

Come lay me down

Enfold me in your arms

Cover me with velvet kisses

Rock me on and on

And whisper softly to me

You wanna be my babydoll

 

Verse 3

Slipping into dreams

I feel my love surround you

My subconscious seems

To weave itself around you

Do you care for me

Beyond idolization

Tell me how you feel

But don't keep me at bay

'Cause I won't be waiting long

 

Chorus 3

I wanna be your babydoll

Wrap me up nice and tight

Love me through the night

Come lay me down

Enfold me in your arms

Cover me with velvet kisses

Rock me on and on

And whisper softly to me

You wanna be my babydoll

 

Chorus 4

I wanna be your babydoll

Wrap me up nice and tight

Love me through the night

Come lay me down

Enfold me in your arms

Cover me with velvet kisses

Rock me on and on

And cuddle up next to me

C'mon and be my babydoll

 

 

 

 

Close My Eyes

 

Verse 1

I was wayward child

With the weight of the world

That I held deep inside

Life was a winding road

And I learned many things

Little ones shouldn't know

 

Chorus 1

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time's rolled by

Still feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

 

Verse 2

Funny how one can learn

To grow numb to the madness

And block it away

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate

And I try to forget

 

Chorus 2

As I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And the time rolled by

Still feel like a child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

 

Bridge

Nearing the edge

Oblivious I almost

Fell right over

A part of me

Will never be quite able

To feel stable

That woman-child falling inside

Was on the verge of fading

Thankfully I

Woke up in time

 

Verse 3

Guardian angel I

Sail away on an ocean

With you by my side

Orange clouds roll by

They burn into your image

And you're still alive

(You're always alive)

 

Chorus 3

As I close my eyes

Steady my feet on the ground

Raise my head to the sky

And though time rolls by

Still feel like a child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

 

 

 

 

Whenever You Call

 

Verse 1

Love wandered inside

Stronger than you

Stronger than I

And now that it has begun

We cannot turn back

We can only turn into one

 

Chorus 1

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all

Whenever you call

And I'll always remeber

The part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch you fall

Whenever you call

 

Verse 2

And I'm truly inspired

Finding my soul

There in your eyes

And you

Have opened my heart

And lifted me inside

By showing me yourself

Undisguised

 

Chorus 2

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all

Whenever you call

And I'll always remeber

The part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch you fall

Whenever you call

 

Bridge

And I will breathe for you each day

Comfort you through all the pain

Gently kiss your fears away

You can turn to me and cry

Always understand that I

Give you all I am inside

 

Chorus 3

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all

Whenever you call

 

Chorus 4

I won't ever be too far to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all

Whenever you call

And I'll always remeber

The part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch you fall

Whenever you call

 

 

 

 

Fly Away

 

Lyrics: M. Carey, E. John, B. Taupin

Music: M. Carey, D. Morales

 

 

 

 

The Beautiful Ones

 

 

Baby, baby, baby

What's it gonna be?

Baby, baby, baby

Is it him or is it me?

Don't make me waste my time

Don't make me lose my mind baby

Baby, baby, baby

Can't you stay with me tonight?

Oh baby, baby, baby

Don't my kisses please you right?

You were so hard to find

The beautiful ones, they hurt you

Every time

Paint a perfect picture

Bring to life a vision in one's mind

The beautiful ones

(The beautiful ones)

Always smash the picture

Always every time

If I told you baby

That I was in love with you

Oh Baby, baby, baby

If we got married

Would that be cool?

You make me so confused

The beautiful ones

You always seems to lose

 

 

 

 

Outside

 

Verse 1

It's hard to explain

Inherently it's just always been strange

Neither here or there

Always somewhat out of place everywhere

Ambiguous

Without a sense of belonging to touch

Somewhere halfway

Feeling there's no one completely the same

 

Chorus 1

Standing alone

Eager to just

Believe it's good enough to be what

You really are

But in your heart

Uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside

 

Verse 2

Early on, you face

The realization you don't

have a space

Where you fit in

And recognize you

Were born to exist

 

Chorus 2

Standing alone

Eager to just

Believe it's good enough to be what

You really are

But in your heart

Uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside

 

And it's hard

And it's hard

And it's hard

 

Bridge

Irreversibly

Falling in between

And it's hard

And it's hard

To be understood

As you are

As you are

Oh, and God knows

That you're standing on your own

Blind and unguided

Into a world divided

You're thrown

Where you're never quite the same

Although you try-try and try

To tell yourself

You really are

But in your heart-uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the outside

You'll always be

Somewhere on the outside

Vision Of Love



Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

 


Love Takes Time


I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone

Chorus:
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone

Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly

Chorus

You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside

Chorus

 

Someday


You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but didn't know
No one you'll ever find will be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other

Chorus:
Someday Oo Someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying
You should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict
This ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others

Chorus

Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me
The one and only
But when your down
In your time of need
And you're thinking that you
Might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause
I won't need your love anymore!

Chorus

Emotions

 

 

Chorus:
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

I feel good
I feel nice
I've never felt so
Satisfied
I'm in love
I'm alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feel like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don't know if it's real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

Chorus

In the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don't know if you're for real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

Chorus

You know the way to make me
lose control
When you're looking into my eyes
You make me feel so
High

Chorus

 

 


I'll Be There


You and I must make a pack,
we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you,
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

Chorus:
And oh, I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you,
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength,
I'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter,
togetherness is all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you,
with an unselfish love I'll respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there

Chorus

If you should ever find someone new
I know she'd better be good to you
'Cos if she doesn't, I'll be there

I'll be there, I'll be there,
just call my name, I'll be there
I'll be there, I'll be there,
whenever you need me, I'll be there
(repeats out)

 

 


Dreamlover


I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away

I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind

I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday
Of my live
Always
So come and take me away

Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

 

Hero


There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

One Sweet Day


Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Honey


Verse 1

Honey you can have me
When you want me
If you simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one who
Makes me come running
'Cause what you got is far
Beyond compare

And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I've got a dependancy
Always strung out for another
Taste of your honey

Chorus 1

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so seet
And I'm dying for you, crying for you, I adore you
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside

Verse 2

I can't be elusive
With your honey
Because it's blatant
That I'm feeling you
And it's too hard for me
To leave abruptly
'Cause you're the only thing
I wanna do

And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I've got a dependancy
Always strung out for another
Taste of honey

Chorus 2

It's like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for you crying for you I adore you
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day
I can hardly wait for another taste of honey

 

 

 

My All


Verse 1
I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

Chorus 1
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Verse 2
Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

Chorus 2
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

** Guitar Break

Chorus 3
I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight

 

 


Sweetheart


Boy haven't you noticed
A gleam in my eye
Because of you
I'm a little hypnotized
But every time you're with me
I feel so positive
Now with a little love
Something's got to give

Bridge
A full moon (yeah yeah)
Is waiting in the twilight
Maybe soon
You will come to be my night
Here we are
Hoping that we never part
Stay with me

Hook
Baby, won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
Won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
(What you think about,
What you think about you
and me baby going one on one)
Just you and I

You are no Casanova
I know that you'll be true
And that's why
I'm so in love with you
But each romantic ending
You leave me at my door
But tonight
I'd like us to explore

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Hook

Stars are bright
Mood is right
(Say what MC baby sing it to me)
To keep me warn away from harm
Nowhere better than my baby's arms
(Repeat)

Repeat Hook

Let's get together
Live happily ever after
No one to make us sad
Oh baby
You know I need your love
Romance

 

 

When You Believe


Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will, (Now you will (3rd Chorus))
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Chorus

So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith

Chorus

 

 


Whenever You Call


Verse 1
Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one

Chorus 1
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remeber
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

Verse 2
And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised

Chorus 2
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remeber
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

Bridge
And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside

Chorus 3
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call

Chorus 4
I won't ever be too far to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remeber
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call

 

 

I Still Believe


You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside.
I know it's crazy
But you still can touch my heart.
And after all this time,
You'd think that I,
I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed.

Chorus:
I still believe, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.
I had a dream, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.

Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy I could find.
You know that I am not the desperate type.
If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands.
It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.
No, no, no, no, no, no I need you baby.
I still believe that we can be together.
If we believe that true love never has to end,
Then we must know that we will love again.

Chorus

 

 


Without You

 

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

 


Do You Know (Where You're Going To)

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for,
When you look behind you there's no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?

Once we were standing still in time,
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've had,
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands.
Why must we wait so long before we see,
How sad the answers to those questions can be?

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for,
When you look behind you there's no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?

 

I Don't Wanna Cry

 

Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby, look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain

Chorus:
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've give you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't wanna cry

Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around

Chorus

All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on make-believing

Chorus

 


All I Want For Christmas Is You


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You...

All I want for Christmas is you baby... (repeat)

Gimme your love (Repeat)
Gimme your love

VERSE 1:
Oh your love's so good I don't want to let go
And although I should
I can't leave you aione
'Cause you're so disarming
I'm caught up-in the midst of you
And I cannot resist at all

VB 1:
Boy if I do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
Or leave me feeling used
Would you go and break
My heart?

CHORUS 1:
Heartbreaker
You got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back
lncessantly
Oh why did you have to
Run your game on me I should have known
Right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

VERSE 2:
lt's a shame to be
So euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me the things
That you know persuade
Me to relinquish my love
To you
But I cannot resist at all

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)



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
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all 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
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 l'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've qot to take

Take a look at me now

 


After Tonight



I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's iike I'm lifted out of time

And time again
Patientiy I've waited
For this moment to arrive

CHORUS 1:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade

I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all l'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
lt's like I'm drifting out of time

Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

CHORUS 2:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled-me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day

Time
And time and time again
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive

CHORUS 3:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
After tonight begins to fade

Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)

 

They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

They can do anything they want to you
lf you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
l'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But 1 won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

 


How Much



The way I feel for you
I can't describe
lt's almost too intense
To verbalize
Essentially you're all
I'm living for
And basically each day
I need you more and more

CHORUS:
Have you even been so enamored baby
That's how much I love you
All I need in this life, you see
Is me and my boyfriend
Have you ever feit lost
When you know you gotta leave me
That's how much I love you

Love is yours and mine
Till the very end
Just me and my boyfriend

Don't underestimate the love in me
lt's obvious these feelings run so deep
I fail and fail for you day after day
Nobody eise could ever take your place

REPEAT CHORUS

You don't gotta waste your time and worry
You don't gotta look for reassurance
'Cause elearly you're the only one that's getting this and
Sugar I don't need nobody else
But you
And honey I ain't letting go too soon
Because 1 can't get enough
Why you asking how much?
It's more than you can handle baby

REPEAT CHORUS

Crybaby

When I think of our untimely end
And everything we could have been
I cry, baby I cry -

Ok so it's 5 am and
I still can't sleep
I took some medicine
But it's not working
Someone's clinging to me
And it's bittersweet
'Cause he's head over heels
But it ain't that deep
I finally changed my number
Got a different pager
Then last Saturday
Your cousin called to say you're
Tryin' to reach me
Probably because you see that
I'm with someone new

CHORUS:
Late at night like a littie child
Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
On my tippy toes
So that he won't know
I still cry baby
Over you and me

Sipping Bailey's Cream
Sy the stereo
Trying to find relief
On the radio
I'm suppressing the tears
But they start to flow

'Cause the next song I hear
Is a song I wrote
When we first got together
Early that September
I can't bear to listen
So I might as well drift
In the kitchen
Pour another glass or two
And try to forget you

REPEAT CHORUS

SNOOP'S VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS (3X)

 


Rainbow (Interlude)


I know there is a rainbow
For me to follow
To get beyond my sorrow
Thunder precedes the sunlight
So l'll be alright
lf I can find that
Rainbow's end

I will be alright
lf I can find that
Rainbow's end

 


X-Girlfriend



CHORUS:
Ex-girifriend you can't have him
lt's about time
That you found you a new man
He's moved on
Don't you know, don't you know
You gotta let him go,
Let him go, let him go
Ex-girifriend you don't listen
Stop trying
He's not gonna give in
He's not yours anymore
Don't you know
You gotta let him go
Let him go, let him go

Hey ex-girifriend
lt's too bad when you had him
Y'all thing didn't work
But he's all mine now
So stop pursuing him
Before you get your feelings hurt
See our love is hot
And no, it won't stop
'Cause I got him on lock
And although he rejects you
lt don't seem to affect you
'Cause you just keep trying
To get wit him

So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back again

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey ex-girifriend
Whatever your name is

I'm really not amused
'Cause the things you do
Are very offensive
And sometimes straight up rude
All those late night calis and notes
On his car
Won't get you anywhere
You can call his mom
As much as you want
And he won't really care

So don't, don't keep, keep calling
Hanging up the phone
When I answer I know it
Tears you up inside and
Why do you sit in silence
On the other end
'Till I hang up and you
Predictably call right back aqain

REPEAT CHORUS

I understand why
You want him back
But don't you know
Our love's too strong
For you to penetrate
lt's too late
He's not your baby no more

Vulnerability (Interlude)
(Mariah Carey)

 


Did I Do That?


I really hope
When you hear this song
That you're happy
With someone new
I found a love I can call my own
And I owe it in part to you

Don't you know that you seem
Just a little crazy
You had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it's all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have thought
I was high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time

CHORUS:
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And things you would never do

You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool

You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations, painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn't speak
But boy to teil you the truth
lt was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we're not the same in truth

REPEAT CHORUS

I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you
Though your attention span's not that long
Try to do the best you can do!

 

 

 


Petals



I've often wondered if there's
Ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing in the wind
Like golden petals scattering

CHORUS 1:
And I miss you dandelion
And even love you
And I wish there was a way
For me to trust you
But it hurts me every time
I try to touch you

But I miss you dandelion
And even love you

I gravitated towards a patriarch
So young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life
With a maze of misery

A boy and a girl befriended me
We're bonded through despondency
I stayed so long but finally
I fled to save my sanity

CHORUS 2:
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
And I hope you realize
l'll always love you
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother

So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutifully
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep ...

CHORUS 3:
And I missed a lot of life
But l'II recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
Still I wish that you and I'd
Forgive each other
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you

I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -

And I lound the strength to break away
Fly...

 


Thank God I Found You


(Mariah)
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found a man that's true
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Joe)
I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me I can't survive
I don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right
Cause I need you in my life

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)
I was lost without you (so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Cause baby I'm so thankful
I found you

-Bridge- (Mariah & Joe)
See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows
that we were destined to shine
After the rain to appreciate
And care for what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Mariah)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful I found you
