Big Cat
Big cat walking on the wild side
Big cat talking on the wild side
He knows he looks the way he should
He's got something making him feel good
He's got the style, he's got the sway
He's a million miles away

She cat walking on the wild side
She cat talking on the wild side
She don't smile, she don't look
She don't do laundry and she don't cook
She's not listening to what he says
She's not making any promises

He just wants to love someone
She just wants to love someone
He just wants to hold someone
She just wants to love someone

Big cat walking on the wild side
Big cat stalking on the wild side
She cat walking on the wild side
She cat talking on the wild side
He's thinking how she's not so tough
Could be a diamond sitting in the rough
She's staring out to empty space
She's wondering how long he will take

He just wants to love someone
She just wants to love someone
He just wants to hold someone
She just wants to love someone

Love Is the Arrow
So many miles it seems
Nothing can come between, your life and mine
Before the ink is dry
I feel just you and i, inside my mind

Love is the arrow, fly straight and true
Into this deep and fallow hart
What am I to do
What am I to do

Another world to spin
A distant tide come in, they always do
A mother holds the son
A lover waits alone, like me for you

Love is the arrow, fly straight and true
Into this deep and fallow hart
What am I to do, what am I to do

Into the highest cloud
Before a word is spoken
Beyond the slighest doubt
Before the dream is woken

We Are All Children
We are all children covered in mud
Bound by the sacred and searching for love
We are all children adrift on the sea
Searching for someone, say come back to me

We are all children covered in mud
Jam on our faces, want to be loved
We are all children growing so fast
Walking on water, hearts made of glass

If I hold you as close as I can
We belong to every woman and man
Everyone who knows

You, me, we are all children
Us, them, we are all children
We all are somebody's daughter and son

We are all children covered in mud
Trapped in the wilderness, stars up above
Outside we all look shiny and clean
Inside the voices, are ready to scream

We are all children growing so fast
Worshipping idols, stuck in the past
We are all children covered in mud
Jam on our faces, we want to be loved

A Place Where We Belong
I'm just a wandering gypsy
I'll sing for you tonight
And when the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight
And I'll be in the place where I belong

For who will tell the story
Except someone like me
Of tragedy and glory
Of lovers as they walk so blindly
And try to find a place where they belong
We all must find a place where we belong

Everybody knows me
Everone shows me
And I'll be here when you have gone
For the road to carry on
We all must find a place where we belong

If destiny has spoken
If finally the dawn has broken
We all must find a place where we belong

I'm just a wandering gypsy
I've sung for you tonight
And now the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight
And I'll be in the place where I belong

Feel Like Screaming
Why do I live in the past and why should it hurt me to ask
If someone can hear, I'm standing right here
But this talking aloud cannot last

I've never been one full of words,
It's much better to hide in a smile
With nothing to say, I'd just walk away
Disappear to my room, and shake my fists
Think things over and stare into the wall

And all this time I feel like screaming
Turn that key, let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone
Let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone

Inside it's so easy to breathe, but never so easy to leave
And just when I try, the fence gets too high
So I sleep with my head on my sleeve

And I dream of us flying away to a place that is out of the way
And there's somebody there who says I don't care
Who you are, where you're from, what you need
Or what you're thinking, we love you anyway

I'll Find You
We give, we take, we bend until we break
We touch and feel, to hurt or heal
And when we can

We run so far from who we really are
And we starve and thirst, we praise and curse
And I don't care

How near or far, I'll find you, wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go

We shout and scream, but it's just a silly dream
And we hold it inside like its live or die
Till in the end we learn to wait
And we squeeze the hands of fate
And we twist and turn
We freeze and burn, but I don't care

How near or far, I'll find you, wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go
Through time and space
I'll always see your face
And if I must count every star

How near or far, I'll find you, wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go

Come to Me
Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play

Here we are, how did we come so far
Just tell me how you are, I need to know
Night has come to see the senses run
And every single one, we all must show

And when you feel the flood upon the waters edge
And take the leap from bitter sweet
Do you believe, do you believe
Do you still believe

Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play

In the sea of those eyes, in the fall of the rise
There is no compromise

Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play

I Want You
If it's love that you want, there will always be someone
If it's love that you need, I can lay here at your feet
When your fingers want to hold someone close to you
Oh, don't you know baby

I want you...

When it's time to begin, you can tell me, let me in
Every moment, every day, I'll be waiting every way
Till you're here next to me and you want me too
Oh, don't you want, baby I know you

I want you...

If it's love that you want, there will always be someone
If it's love that you need and you want me too
Don't you want, baby I know you

Breathe in my love, breathe out your love
Before its too late, too late

I want you...

You Belong to Me
You belong to me
From the moment I saw your face
This is the one I can't replace
I belong to you
And every day is the perfect day
And even more when I hear you say

You belong to me
Forever and always, just like the sky
You belong to me
I don't care what they say and I don't know why
You belong to me
Forever and always, you are the one
And you belong to me

We were meant to be
And I know you feel the way I do
I only want to be next to you
Love came easily
And all the feelings I just can't hide
Makes us so close and so mystified

Goodnight
How does the time slip by so fast
Why can't it once stand still
For us this night, will always last
With every breath until
And if you find you're all alone
Remember you have wings

As long as there is air to breathe
And music left unsung
You know that in the darkest night
A dawn has just begun
So think of us, we'll think of you
Together we'll take flight
For we shall never say goodbye
We only say goodnight
For we shall never say goodbye
We only say goodnight

Yours Truly [2001]

2006-04-23T02:09:00.000-07:00

Who Am I
Who am I to understand
The ways of love a grain of sand
To fall between these fingers
That I hold

Who am I that you should trust
A wind that turns a stone to dust
A mountain to surrender all its gold

And who am I to say, you should believe in me

And who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
Tell me who am I

Who am I, I never knew
My heart was roaming from or to
(I don't know where we are going to)
The different arms between my day and night
(All I want is just to be with you)

Who am I, a distant sun
A thought before the moment's gone
(Just a thought before the moment's gone)
And I will never let you from my side
(You will always be the only one)

And all I have to say you can believe in me

For who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
You are on my heart remembers
Tell me who am I

And who am I to say I love you
One reason why love can not die
Tell me who am I

For who am I to say I love you
One reason why love cannot die
You are on my heart remembers
Tell me who
Tell me who am I

Body Glove
The more you win, the more you gain
An open window to the human brain
The more you give, the more you lose
You can't go dancing in these mountain shoes
And that won't do.

The more you touch, the more you feel
It's just a picture that you thought was real
The less you need, the more you know
You can say the prophet told you so
Do do dooo

You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and Me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
The body glove.

The world is just potato chips
Joined together at the female hips
The Universe we left behind
We never know what we are going to find.
Do do dooo

And when we want to be alone
To get away, baby, to another zone
The word is out, the clothes are in
And who knows maybe it's another sin

You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and Me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and Me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
The body glove
The body glove
The body glove

The more you win, the more you gain
An open window to the human brain
The more you touch, the more you feel
It's just a picture that you thought was real
You thought was real

You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and Me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
You and me, we've got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and Me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove
The body glove
The body glove
The body glove

Don't Throw Our Love Away
Oh I'm just wondering,
just how you have been
my mind was wondering,
how we might have been

it wasn't meant to be,
the things you said to me
I should have let them go,
I should have let you know

Now it's too late
stealing my head of
the words that you said
you tried to tell me

(REFRAIN)
Don't throw our love away
you know I don't want to lose you
Don't watch me walk away,
you don't know how much I need you

Once I had everything,
you gave me everything
somehow I let you go,
and now I'll never know

I could have waited
you were the vision
that I couldn't see
you tried to tell me

(REFRAIN)
Don't throw our love away
you know I don't want to lose you
Don't watch me walk away,
you don't know how much I need you

And how much is everything
there is only ex-communication

(REFRAIN)(4 TIMES)
Don't throw our love away
you know I don't want to lose you
Don't watch me walk away,
you don't know how much I need you

Don't throw our love away ...

Why Don't You Come Over
Don't you worry, pretty baby
Everything's alright
Its another day tomorrow
And another night.
You can tell me how your feeling
Every single word
I was having trouble sleeping
Like the early bird
Who just want's to be heard

[Chorus:]
Why don't you come over
I can't stop thinking of you
Why don't you come over
My heart won't rest 'til you do

Pick up the phone
Your clothes from the floor
The sleep in your eyes
And walk through the door

I'll turn on the light

Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over tonight

We can sit down at the table
Let your problems drown
I know how to get you smiling
How to be your clown
There's no need to think about it
Just come as you are
I'll be waiting by the window
For my shining star
You know it's not that far

[Chorus]

Pick up the phone
Your clothes from the floor
The sleep in your eyes
And walk through the door.

I'll turn out the light

Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over
Why don't you come over tonight.

Tell Me of Spring
Come to me at Spring
Every little thing
Just makes me want you so

I, I'm like the worn leaf
Blowing to and from
Until I find my home

You appear, I'm alive,
Forget my fears, forget all the reasons
To hide my love inside.

[Chorus (2 Voices):]
You, you brought back my love,
(What you do to me)
You brought back my life
(What you do to me)
You brought back my everything
(when you say to me how much I need ...)

You, you brought back the light,
(What you do to me)
You took back the night
(What you do to me)
And gave me everything
(when you say to me how much I need ...)

I fall to the ground
Send my prayer to the clouds
There are no choices

Hear the silence of sound
Lay your head down
And drink from the voices

You appear I'm alive
Forget my fears, forget all the reasons
To hide my love inside.

[Chorus]

You, you brought back the light,
(What you do to me)
You took back the night
(What you do to me)
And gave me everything
(when you say to me how much I need ...)

[Short Musical Interlude]

[Chorus 2x]

[Short Musical Interlude]

Come to me at Spring
Every little thing
Just makes me want you so

Yours Truly
(Graham Russell)

Sometimes when I look at you,
I wonder why you're here wth me
I'm not the perfect lover and
There 's other things I'd like to be

You never ask for my applause
I want you to know

I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours, truly yours

I'll never leave you all alone
Too far away to touc your skin
I don't know where the story goes
Or even if it did begin

I go to the ball
You sweep the floors in every way

I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours, truly yours

So sofyly you tell me
In words that will haunt me
As long as the light from the stars
Fills your eyes....oo..ooh....

You never ask for my applause
I want you to know

I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours
Because, because, because
I'm yours, truly yours, truly yours

You Are the Reason
(Graham Russell)

Here's on the street
A tear in the seam
Of pleasure and pain
Life carries on
A cloak of deceit
Brings honour to shame
But the voice I used to know
(Where are you now?)
Is the one I can't let go

[Chorus:]
You are the reason
My faith in tomorrow
A Distant horizon
The one I must follow
You are the first, You are the last

I'help you to see
The light in the dark
The sun through the rain
Until you are free
And facing the truth
That words can't explain
But the truth I think you know(Tell me)
I could never let you go

[Chorus]

You are the future from the past
You are the spell that has been cast

You are the reason
My faith in tomorrow
A distant horizon
The one I must follow

[Chorus]

You are the first
You are the last to me
Oom hm.....You are to me...You are

Only One Forever
There has to be a place for you and me
Where we can sleep and waters still run deep
And you're the one that sails into me
And you're the one whose lips are silent
You're the one that always said
There's only one forever
It brought us both together,
There's only one forever

You said to me, just give me honesty
And in return, I'll build your santuary
Long ago, that path was chosen
How could we not fall in love
Remember when we always said
There's only one forever
It brought us both together
There's only one forever

You're the one that sails into me
You're the one whose lips are silent
You're the one that always said
There's only one forever
There's only one forever
It brought us both together
There's only one forever

If You Love Me
Stay with me only if your heart is free,
There's no sense if we can't see beyond how we feel.
Honestly, how do we know what we need?
What can we believe?, help me to know this is real.

If I give it all, if I give it all away.
We could have it all, we could have it all this way.
I should have said what I was thinking
Followed my heart, but it was sinking.

If you love me say that you love me,
I'll say I love you too.
If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.

Broken dreams are never really what they seem,
Somewhere in between you can give all your troubles to me.
I don't know how far we are meant to go,
If you tell me so that is where I want to be.

If I give it all, if I give it all away.
We could have it all, we could have it all this way.
I should have said what I was thinking
Followed my heart, but it was sinking.

If you love me say that you love me,
I'll say I love you too.
If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.

If you love me say that you love me,
I'll say I love you too.
If you love me say that you need me,
I'll give my love to you.

I'll give my love to you.

The Scene
(Graham Russell, Mark Towner Williams, Cliff Rehrig)

It's another lovely day
Are we still so far away
And how can I share it with you

It's not easy to believe
Are we both about to leave
Without ever saying, I do
I still love you

[Chorus:]
Just make me part of the scene
Say we're together, always forever
And everything else in between

Just say we're part of the scene
I don't want to hear it, I just couldn't bear it
If things weren't as good as they seem

You can say I'm not the one
That a lot of faith has gone
The bridges were never quite crossed

Every grain of truth, we deny or prove
Is somewhere before it gets lost
And is found again

[Chorus]

What if these feelings are all in my head
Flying around me in a world of their own
What if there's nothing that needs to be said

[Chorus]

Just say we're part of the scene
Say we're together, always forever
And everything else in between
Just say we're part of the scene
Just say we're part of the scene
Just say we're part of the scene

Learning to Make Love to You
I first felt it when I hit my teens
Some things were changing
It was deep inside of me
I saw the Beatles and my body began to shake

I started talking to the girl next door
And she looked different than she ever did before
And she was saying things that
I could never tell

So I was searching for the way in crowd
With winklepickers and the music playing loud
But all the kissing came from listening to If I Fell, I was ...

[Chorus:]
Learning to make love to you
I'll do what you want me to
Learning to make love to you
I'll do what you want me to

While we were grooving out Rubber Soul
I was learning how to lose control
I needed someone that was certain to hold me tight
We were dancing until quarter to
I missed the bus and so I turned to you
I had the feeling that everything would be alright, I was ...

[Chorus]

Everyone meets a new generation
When the time is right
All the kids want is an explanation
When they say goodnight
I can see you and me are just one to one and

[Chorus]

Peaches and Cream
The light was on, and everything I felt was strong
I watched as your mascara ran
Didn't get far on that golden tan

I heard you sigh, but I don't wanna see you cry
You looked just like a walking dream
Sweeter than peaches and cream

[Chorus:]
If you want me let me know
I can show you how
If you've got nowhere to go
I can show you now

I'm yours to tame, and I don't even know your name
I like to touch your perfect skin
I can't stop once I begin

To show you more than I have ever shown before
If you could read what's on my mind
Give me yours and I'll give you mine

[Chorus]

We could be, we could see
More than we know
We should be, we should see
More than we know
And I'd like to know

[Chorus 2x]

Sweeter than peaches and cream (If you want me let me know)
Sweeter than peaches and cream (I can show you how)
[Repeat And Fade]

Hard to Forget Her
Close your eyes and fill the skies
With cotton candy clouds
Step inside the rainbow
Ride where dragonflies sing loud
Colors falling, butterflies and flowers
Paint the ground
Cuckoos calling, do I have to go
And it's hard, so hard to forget her

This is where we always said
That everything is real
Hanging from a spider's web
The valleys and the fields
Follow me inside the tree
And catch me if you can
Someone else is playing in the sand
And it's hard, so hard to forget her

White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

The First Noel
The first noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the east
Beyond them far
And to the earth
It gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

And let us all
With one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly lord
That hath in heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind hath bought

Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

Born is the king
Born is the king
Born is the king

The Little Drummer Boy
Come they told me pa rum pum pum pum
A new born king to see pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum
So to honor him pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

The Eyes of a Child
(graham russell and ron bloom)

When you look to the past for life's long hidden meaning
For the dreams and the plans made in your youth
Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling
That lies so still and lives in you

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

You've found the place to walk the path you've chosen
You'll never miss the world you've left behind
When life gives life, it's happiness unbroken
When you give love, it's love you'll find

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

Silent Night
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright

Round yon virgin
Mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night
Holy night
Son of god
Love's pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus lord at thy birth
Jesus lord at thy birth

Silent night
Holy night
Wondrous star
Led by light
With the angels
Let us sing
Hallelujah to our king

Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

The Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everyone knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry christmas to you

And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry christmas to you

Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There's a christmas party at the home of farmer gray
It would be the perfect ending of a perfect day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop

There's a happy feeling nothin' in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It will nearly be like a picture print of currier and ives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we'll remember all through our lives

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Love Is All
(graham russell)

When we come into this world
And we hunger for that touch
From the one that brought us life
From the one that gave so much

Innocence will take your hand
And speak though the one thought in your mind

Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in

And as we gather to ourselves
A part of everything we see
We realize that what we own
Isn't what we really need

Innocence take my hand
And speak through the one thought in your mind

Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in

Don't you know that love is all
Love is all that we must do
It is the reason why we live
Love is all I have for you

True love cannot be broken
Through all the tears and pain
Only one truth survives, only one truth remains

Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in

Don't you know that love is all
Love is all that we must do
It is the reason why we live
Love is all I have for you

Don't you know that love is all
Love is where we all begin
And when we knock on heaven's door
Only love will let us in

Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say are you married, we'll say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
Until the other kids knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets chillin'
We'll frolic and play the eskimo way

Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

O Come All Ye Faithful
O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the king of angels
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him christ the lord

Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exaltation
Oh sing all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to god
All glory in the highest
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him christ the lord

Yeah lord we greet thee
Born this happy morning
O jesus to thee be all glory given
Word of the father
Now in flesh appearing
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the lord, christ the lord
O come let us adore him
Christ the lord

The Book of Love
(Graham Russell)

The Book Of Love, That Sacred Place
Where We Walk Tall, Or In Disgrace
Who Tills The Ground On Which We Tread
Who Gives Us All Our Daily Bread
The Spirit Woken From Its Sleep
The Demon Stirring From The Deep
Whose Gates At Dawn We All Must Pass
The Last One First, The First One Last
Whose Words Must Be Both Black and White
Whose Music Shall Be Day and Night
The Moon That Tells Us Of The Sun
Where Voices Soar So Far Above
These Pages Are The Book Of Love

If We Were Born Just To Succeed
If Life Was Meant To Be A Choice
For Either Happiness of Greed
If You Can't Walk, You Always Run
Away From Anyone, Yes You Will

But If We Learn To Take Our Time
As Though Each Moment Is A Treasure
That's Not So Hard To Find
When You Are Free, Then Suddenly
There's Room For Everyone, Yes There Is

The Book Of Love, The World Of Dreams
Those Shadows Fall Upon Us All
And Send Our Weary Eyes To Sleep
But When You Wake, Your Heart Will Make
Some Room for Everyone

Just Come To Me
There's Nothing You Should Fear
Just Come To Me
I'll Always Be Right Here
I Tell You Now
Your Heart Is Where I Live
And What You Ask, Is What I'll Give

If We Were Born Just to Succeed
If Life Was Meant To Be A Choice
For Either Happiness or Greed
If You Can't Walk, You Always Run
Away From Anyone, Yes You Will

But If We Learn To Take Our Time
As Though Each Moment Is A Treasure
That's Not So Hard To Find
When You Are Free, Then Suddenly
There's Room For Everyone, Yes There Is

The Book Of Love, The World of Dreams
Those Shadows Fall Upon Us All
And Send Our Weary Eyes To Sleep
But When You Wake, Your Heart Will Make
Some Room For Everyone

So Much Love
(Graham Russell)

Another Day Has Come and Gone
They Fade Away Like Winter Sun
I Should Have Felt, What I Didn't See
I Should Have Known, That You Needed Me

But Now You're Here
My Heart Is Young, My Mind Is Clear
The Past Was Gone, When You Came To Me
You Were Always A Part Of My Destiny

I Always Believed, That This Day Had To Come
There Was Not Enough Time
And Too Much Left Undone
I Could Never Deny
Just How Far We Had Come

I've Got So Much Love
So Much Love
So Much Love
So Much Love

Another Day To Spend With You
That's All I Ask, Just To Be With You
And How I Feel, You Just Don't Know
And Now You're Here, I Won't Let You Go

I Always Believed, That This Day Had To Come
There Was Not Enough Time
And Too Much Left Undone
I Could Never Deny
Just How Far We Had Come

I've Got So Much Love
So Much Love
So Much Love
So Much Love

When I Say
(Graham Russell)

I Just Saw Your Picture, From The Lost and Found
It Was Taken The Day We Met
With So Many People Around

All My False Bravado Seemed To Disappear
So I Just Had To Follow My Heart
I Knew It Would Take Me Somewhere

And I Still Feel The Same
But Its Hard To Explain
All My Emotions Are Tossed In The Wind
Lost Till The Moment I Hold You Again

When I Say I Want You
When I Say I Need You
When You Say Come Closer
I Know I'll Never Leave You

You Can Stare Into Heaven
When Your Heart IS Free
I Suppose That We Just Couldn't Wait
For Heaven Is Where We Must Be

And We Still Feel The Same
No Need To Explain
I Don't See The Shadows
I Don't Feel The Rain
I'm Walking In Sunlight
I'll Tell You Again

When I Say I Want You
When I Say I Need You
When You Say Come Closer
I Know I'll Never Leave You
When I Say I Want You
When I Say I Need You
When You Say Come Closer
I Know I'll Never Leave You

Once
(Graham Russell)

[Instrumental] 1111111111111
Let's Stay Together
I feel your hand in mine, I touch your skin
Your heart is calling out
You want to let me in, to let me in

Your lips are silent now, we're not alone
I'd like to tell you how much
I'd like to take you home
So I can make love to you

I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more I have to give

CHORUS
When the wind blows
There's nothing else you can run to
Let's stay together tonight
I'm waiting for you
All the words that I told you
Will always be true
Let's stay together tonight
Whatever we do

Why must I keep pretending
I'm in control
When I can feel your senses
Burning through my soul
Through my soul

I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more I have to give

REPEAT CHORUS

Hold me close, don't let me go
I just want you to say that, I need you
I want you to know

REPEAT CHORUS

Daybreak
(Graham Russell)

Daybreak, I Can't Hide The Truth
It Seems I'm Not So Strong
And Suddenly, There's No More To Loose
So Where Did I Go Wrong
I Should Have Known Before
Her Love For Me Was Gone

Now I'm Waiting For The Light
To Fill This Empty Room
I Need You Now To Break Thru The Night
Whose Shadows Come Too Soon

I Waited Far Too Long And Now
I Feel I Can't Go On

Daybreak, Oh Daybreak
I Let Her Walk Away
I Should Have Said, Don't Go
I Know I Should Have Found Another Way
Now I Don't Know What To Do
So Daybreak, Please Break Through

Daybreak, I Feel So Alone
Why Won't You Come To Stay

I Waited Far Too Long and Now
I Feel I Can't Go On

Daybreak, Oh Daybreak
I Let Her Walk Away
I Should Have Said, Don't Go
I Know I Should Have Found Another Way
Now I Don't Know What To Do
So Daybreak, Please Break Thru

Mother Said
Mother said, don't leave me
There are monsters at the door
I put on all my armour
But I couldn't find my sword
But there'll always be tomorrow
Just you wait and see
If they come to take you prisoner
I'll be there to set you free

Mother said, I'm grown up
In a sunday shirt and tie
As long as I can see you
Can I hold you when I cry
There'll always be tomorrow
I'll be so big and strong
I'll sleep with all the lights out
Not afraid of anyone

I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you

Mother said she's sleeping
So I climbed back into bed
But the monsters took her prisoner
That's all that father said
So I thought about tomorrow
And I learned to be alone
Making friends with shadows
As they moved around my home

Mother never leaves me
I can always see her smile

I sit here in the evening
To talk to her awhile
There'll always be tomorrow
Just you wait and see
I know that any moment
She will come to set me free

I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you

I need you to stay
I need you to stay
I need you
I need you

Would You Ever Walk Away
From this moment I will follow you
To the borders of my country
Will you make those promises come true
Will you always want to hold me

[Chorus:]
Would you ever walk away from love
Will your lips speak what is true
If you say that this is where you belong
That's all I want, from you

In the garden of my deepest soul
Is the seed to bring the future
It's the story that is young and old
And the student is the teacher

[Chorus]

Wind and rain can never change what is to be
Lightning strikes across my heart so suddenly

[Chorus]

News from Nowhere [1995]

2006-04-23T01:48:00.000-07:00

Someone
(graham russell/guy allison)

When you first found love,
Was it all that you had wanted
For a thousand lonely years
Was the memory so sweet
Now your scented touch brings me
Back to the enchanted
All shadows fade away,
The gypsy is complete

(chorus)
Someone is walking beside me
Someone is waiting till I say yes I do
Someone is living inside me
Giving me all that I need and I need you
Someone to cry on my shoulder
I just want to stay here forever

From the secret pool,
Did I stare at your reflection
Let the water wash away all the battle
From my soul
For the bride of spring,
Do I swear to your protection
Today will be the day that never shall
Grow old

(chorus)
Silence broken and the blackbird is free
Only your voice can I hear, speak to me
(chorus)

Just Between the Lines
(graham russell)

I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
With me every day till I pass away
I've been sitting here
Frightened stiff with fear
Love has brought it on
And it must go on
Being here with you,
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
And here we are, here we are
All alone for me to take
And here you are, here you are
All alone for me to take
Fell in love today
Little words to say
Let us close the door
That's what doors are for
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines
I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines

Heart of the Rose
(graham russell)

A long time ago, from the valley of the sun
Came the holy power,
When the gods were one
Searching for a new home,
Searching for this land
Guided by the stars, and a vision they had seen
The pillars of the temple,
In these hills of green
Buried deep inside for only us to find

(chorus)
It is the roar of the wind,
The power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose
Painted in the sky was the moment to awake
All that lay within you,
As this dawn should break
With this force awoken, none can stand before
This is the hour, now is the time
Driven by the purest love, I give you mine
All that we must be, is everything we see

(chorus)
Our love, has brought us both together
And it's our love that will go on forever
There is no love that can become as one
Before it's time

(chorus)
It is the trees in the earth,
It is the rivers that run
And through us this secret flows
And now our destiny calls,
You'll remember it all
Our love for the heart of the rose

Unchained Melody
(a. north/h. zaret)

Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much, are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me!

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea, to the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me! I'll be coming home, wait for me!

Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered, hungered for your love a long, lonely time.
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much, are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me!

Feel for Your Love
(graham russell/billy sherwood/marty walsh)

I've got money to burn
I've got life on the avenue
I've got nothing to learn
I just do what I want to do
I've got places to go
I've got lines on the telephone
I've got nothing to show
For all this time that I spend alone
But if I wanted someone, someone to care
And if I needed someone,
Would you be there
I want to look into your eyes

(chorus)
And get a feel for your love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for your love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for your love
(where would I go)
I have something to give
I got a feeling that I never knew
I have a reason to live
And all I want is to be with you
If I gave you my heart
Would you take what I have for you
I have fallen so hard
And I will do what you want me to
And now I'm wanting someone
Someone to share
And if you are that someone
Will you be there?
So when I look into your eyes
(chorus)

News from Nowhere
(graham russell)

I never saw it happen
I never saw the flame
I never new how much there was
To lose and gain
But when the sun was taken
You never shone so bright
And from a place we'd long forgotten
The blind were given sight
If there's one thing I must do
It's to say I love you to
It's the one thing I'm so sure of

(chorus)
If I hold you now from my point of view
Will you show me how to be close to you
If the dawn should break and you're
Far away
Can you ever know what I need to say
I can see how much I was taking it all
For granted
Among the silent victims
Only the wind would moan
And for a time I felt us touch
The great unknown
For that eternal moment
Oh what a price to pay
With nothing left but all we have
We slowly walked away
If there's one thing I must do
It's to say I love you too
It's the one thing I'm so sure of

(chorus)
So give life to your dreams
For there lies your survival
And cast your heart beyond those
Faded scenes
And I'll bring you through that storm
Yes I'll bring you back

(chorus)
News from nowhere
News from nowhere
News from nowhere...

Always
(graham russell/guy allison/michael sherwood)

I can see hills touch the sky
Heaven and earth, you and i
A world we will always be
Here in the silence we lie
Shadows we cast, you and i
Speak for eternity

(chorus)
Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be
With every word that I hear
Whenever whispers are near
I can believe in fate
Promises made, only one
Yesterday fades from the sun
And falls to a new embrace
Years overflow
As rivers run dry
Here in a moment of time passing by
You and I will always be, will always be
(chorus)

Can't Stop the Rain
(graham russell/guy allison)

When we believe our reality
In the words that we say
We're all searching for sanity
Till it drives us away
To that place in the wilderness
In the deep of your mind
You remember the happiness
Wasn't easy to find
Why do we spend time alone
Why don't we end nights together
Isn't it time to come home

(chorus)
I can't stop the rain from falling
Do what you must do
I can only hope to share
The pain I gave to you
Gave to you
We can climb to another world
If we never look down
We can join in the avalanche
And be thrown to the ground
If I'm still a part of your life
Come lay your head on my pillow
And tell me to hold you tonight
(chorus)

Primitive Man
(graham russell/guy allison)

Oh where did it begin,
This desire in my heart
Born from out of the wind,
Left alone in the dark
Sow the desolate plain,
New horizons to share
All my eden divide,
Generations to share

(chorus)
Don't stop, it feels so familiar
Stay here and show me a new sunrise
You know I want you,
Can the innocent survive
And if I love you, can we touch to stay alive
For every reason, I will do the best I can
Daytime hunger, night is woman,
Primitive man
All the future is passed
With a wave of my hand
All direction is cast
From the woman and man
(chorus)

Spirit of Love
(graham russell/ billy sherwood)

Love comes and goes,
Destiny unknown
Leads you to the promised land
Or leaves you head in hand
Tears fall like rain
Coming down once again
Stranger lost in a distant land
Language hard to understand
Seems like years have slipped away
Still have so much left to say
And I can't wait to see you

(chorus) when the spirit of love comes to you
Let it into your heart
Now's the time to turn away
From the ghost of yesterday
When the spirit of love comes to you
Let it into your heart
I'll be the one to shelter you
The spirit of love will guide us through
Love, right or wrong,
Somehow we must carry on
If only words were spoken true
If only I could trust in you
To believe in the dream of what could be
Hidden clues to the mystery
It's time to set yourself free

(chorus)
Let the spirit of love come to you
Let the spirit of love come to you
(chorus)

I Know You Better Than You Think
(graham russell)

You didn't have to be so mad
When you ran across the road
The light alone soon told me
You had a heavy load
But I can't see why you didn't stay
Why you didn't come to see if I felt
The same way
And I do, and I do
I never asked for any comfort
To take up your time
But now I feel so very different
I need to make you mine
And I want to take what you have to
Give me
And bring you the words that fall
From my head
And I will, and I will

I know you better than you think
And always will
Know you better than you think
And always will, always will
I know you better than you think
And always will, always will

The Vanishing Race [1993]

2006-04-23T01:39:00.000-07:00

It's Never Too Late
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood)

Take the river to the highest mountain
Take the ocean to the farthest sea
I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you
If you'd come back to me

I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters
Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree
I'd take back everything I said to scare you
Away from me

Two hands can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
I was too blind to see fear was inside of me
I'm not afraid anymore

CHORUS
It's never too late, it's never too late
To forgive and forget
Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over
I'll never hold you again

If a broken wing can still be mended
Then a foolish heart can still be true
Take the river to the highest mountain
That's where I'll wait for you

Two hearts can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
The man that you tried to free
Is still locked inside of me
And your heart must open the door

CHORUS

Faith
(Rick Hahn/George Thatcher)

Easy come and easy go
Hard to get a hold on
Searching for what you don't know
Blind to where you belong
Feel the power in your dreams
Vision in your sight
Nothing's dark as it may seem
We can make it right

CHORUS
I have faith
In your love
I have faith
In your heart
You don't need to hide from what you want
You've just got to give it all you got
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith

Truth hidden between the lies
We both know the chances
Nothing comes from compromise
Only strength advances
I will be here at your side
For everything you do
When the world tears at your pride
I'll be there for you

CHORUS

When the world's coming at you like a hungry alligator
You got to have faith
When you've got to pay them now or they'll take it from you later
You got to have faith
When you feel like the future's hiding on a distant cloud
You got to have faith
And you feel like shouting at the good Lord out loud
You got to have faith

CHORUS

When you know that you're ready but the time is not right
You got to have faith
And you lie awake staring at the ceiling all night
You got to have faith

Kiss Me Like You Mean It
(Graham Russell/Guy Allison/Clifford Rehrig)

Kiss me like you mean it
Hold me like you never have before
If you show a little feeliing
I'll know that you can give a little more

How can I take your love
If you don't believe it
Reach and and count those stars
One by one

CHORUS
Ooh, kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, Kiss me like you mean it

Now is the time when words have no answer
And silence is not what it seems
We can fall from the sky in the presence of angels
Do you dream the same dream?

Always the sounds of love
And a heart never ending
For the colors that bleed and run...one by one

CHORUS

Where the water is deep the reflection is wide
We stand on the bridge looking down
But you can't decide
True love will never begin to see
So hold out your hand to me

CHORUS

Evidence Of Love
(Chris Farron/Steve Diamond)

When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
That we never say
Look at us now
Standing on the edge again
It's not too late to try again
I need some...

CHORUS
Evidence of love
To keep on going
Show me some evidence of love
And I'll be here
I still believe we can see this through
There's only so much I can do
And it doesn't make sense
Without some evidence of love

There's a frozen look on your face
Is it saying goodbye
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

CHORUS

Stand and fight
Gotta say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
Here's a chance to make it right

Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
ANd try to find your heart again
I need some...

CHORUS

Goodbye
(David Foster/Linda Thompson)

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And it'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

CHORUS
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
>From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

CHORUS

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye

The Vanishing Race
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood/Larry Antonino)

Sun, I can't slow you down
Run, build on sacred ground
All of the leavesd have blown away
Ghosts on a distant highway
In a vanishing race

Sleep, if your eyes must close
Weep, over a poisoned rose
Soon all the tears will blow away
Dust on a distant highway
In the vanishing race

Fly, closer to the sun
Fight, 'till your world is one
Soon all the stars will burn away
Ghosts on a different highway
In the vanishing race

Oh, shall we sleep tonight
Take all your dreams and drive away
Smoke on a distant highway
>From the vanishing race

All my people
Respect your Mother Earth
Thank you for this life and this breath
ANd all my people's strength

Don't Tell Me
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood/Jimmy Haun)

You were late last night, the candle burned so low
And in my darkest hour I knew you had to go
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Is there someone else that loves you even more
Don't tell me

Standing face to face the words just fall away
But in my loneliness I knew just what to say
Did he touch you where I touched you long ago
Please don't answer, I don't really want to know

So don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

Should I close my eyes and say I'm giving up
Can we compromise the darker side of love
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Since I lost your love I need you even more
Don't tell me lies

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

Too Sentimental
(Brad Buxer/Graham Russell)

One world, one love, these can never be apart
Whisper in your words what is in your heart
How can I stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew this feeling is part of you too, girl

Midnight, candlelight
Knowing you are close to me
So much I have inside
I've got to set it free

With you silence can be spoken
If love has broken through
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl

Ooh, sentimental man
Am I saying too much too soon
'Cause I love you
Such a gentle girl
Waiting for you

One love, two touch, we can never be apart
I want you so much for what is in your heart
How can we stop this emotion knowing that it's true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl

I Remember Love
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood)

I've been staring at the floor
And I've been holding back the tears
And I'd been talking to the walls
If the walls had ears

And now it seems that every time
I look into your eyes
There is only so far I can see

CHORUS
So take me back there
Where only we can go
When you touch me the memories unfold
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

I've been looking to the future
And I've been dreaming of our past
But now I'm counting on this moment
'Cause it may be the last

And days go by and still I try
To reach into your soul
There is only so far I can go

CHORUS

Remember the times when our world was alive
And all of the answers were clear
Remember the times when our souls would ignite
ANd passion explodes into fears

And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

I'll Be Thinking Of You
(Graham Russell)

When the sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
All those days of endless waiting
I'll be thinking of you

When thunder breaks the dawn
When all muy strength is gone
When shadows disappear
I'll still be holding on

When then sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
WHen your heart begins to open
When your heart begins to open
When your heart begins to open

I'll be thinking of you

Stronger Than The Night
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood/D.Young)

Tonight, you are the world to me, part of the mystery
And we don't need a reason to love
Say you'll never go, that's all I need to know
And when you close your eyes, I'll still be here
And if the world falls,
You will be the only reason to love
I'll find my way

One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

If you hold me now, all that I feel is yours
Cos' you're the only reason to love
What you are to me, is all that you need to be,
And when you touch the stars, I will be there
And when the world falls away,
I will be your only reason to love
Until that day

One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

One heart may lie, one kiss may die
But we live, live and learn to fly
Beyond the darkest sky
Stronger than the night

Without You
(P.Ham/T.Evans)

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 tommorow
When I think of all my sorrows
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 give, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living it without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore

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

I can't live, if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living it without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore

The Earth Is
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood)

There's a man with the smallest of worlds in his hands
And a tear fills his eyes as he tries to hold on
Holding his world together

There's a girl in the other half of the sky
And she's wondering why her planet should sigh
Don't you want me 'round forever

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

And we can't wait anymore, the time has come
And those who need something more will feel the sun
We're sharing one

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

And we can't wait anymore, the time is now
You've got your foot in the door
Get through somehow, break through somehow

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

Speaking Of Love
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood/D.Young/J.Haun)

I've been in love, I've walked alone
I turned to you, but you were gone
I felt the doubt, it hurt me inside
Without your help, my hands are tied

You are my home, my place to go
My faith returned, you told me so
I feel you now, I'm standing beside you
Do you hear me calling
It's to remind you, if you find me falling

Hold me in your arms,
Tell me that you want me
Whisper all the words
That dreams are made of
Hold me in your arms
Tell me are we speaking of love

Don't leave me know, I've come so far
To hear your voice, speak from your heart
I hear you now, you're standing beside me
Do you hear me calling
It's to remind you, if you find me falling

Hold me in your arms
Tell me that you want me
Whisper all the words,
That dreams are made of
Hold me in your arms
Tell me are we speaking of love

She's Got The Answer
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood/L.Antonino/J.Haun)

She's the kind of girl, that you need to touch
Follow thru the fire
She can take it all, always gives so much
And laughs 'til she cries

If she's far away I can feel her still
Soothing my soul
When she's here with me and I'm not myself
She takes control

She's got direction, she's got devotion
She got the rhythm, such an emotional woman
She's got the movement
She's got the power
In comes the sunlight when all the flowers unfold
I know

She's got the answer - she's got the answer
She's got the answer
She's got the answer

I am here for you, you are near to me
A mother or a child
Generations passing through you
Awake in the wild

She's got direction, she's got devotion
She got the rhythm, such an emotional woman
She's got the movement, she's got the power
In comes the sunlight, when all the flowers unfold
I know

She's got the answer - she's got the answer
She's got the answer
She's got the answer

She's got direction, she's got devotion
She got the rhythm, such an emotional woman
She's got the movement, she's got the power
In comes the sunlight, when all the flowers unfold
She's got the answer - she's got the answer
She's got the answer
She's got the answer

Stop The Tears
(J.Kyle/J.Buckingham)

I stopped seeing all of our old friends
I don't go to places that you've been
I stopped talking about you
Started living without you
But there's just one thing, I don't understand

How do I stop the tears
How am I supposed to deal with this
How do I stop the tears
Do I get over you in a week or two
When I been lovin' you for years

Everybody thinks that I'm so strong
They don't know what I go thru when I'm alone
I start thinkin' about you
Goin' crazy without you
But I stop myself and I hang up the phone

How do I stop the tears
How am I supposed to deal with this
How do I stop the tears
Do I get over you in a week or two
When I been lovin' you for years

One day, you'll call me up goin' crazy
Too late you'll want me back
You'll be sayin', you'll be saying

How do I stop the tears
How am I supposed to deal with this
How do I stop the tears
Do I get over you in a week or two
When I been lovin' you for years

Dame Amor
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood/J.Haun/B.Abdo)

No basta pintar un cuadro
Solo de ti mismo
Si los colores son para dos...
Te quiero, te quiero

No basta sonar diamantes
Cuando en tu mano los diamantes
No reflejan un puro amor
Te quiero, te quiero

Caer lentamente, que sensacion!
Como una vez yo a ti le ame
Ahora te amo mas y mas
Dame amor
Dame amor, dame todo lo que das
Dame tiempo
Y esperanzas
Dame tu corazon

No basta guardar secretos
Secretos con ti mismo
Si la verdad quieres susurrar
Que remos...
Te quiero

Recuerdos...nos llaman
Es esto una realidad?
Como una vez yo a ti te ame
Ahora vuelvo aun por mas
Dame amor
Dame amor
Dame todo lo que das
Dame tiempo
Y esperanzas
Dame tu corazon

Dame amor
Dame fuerza
Dame lo que quieras dar
Sin cesar
Y sin fin
Dame todo lo que das
Sostemne
Ensen~ame
Tomame por completo
Porque nuestros corazones
Se merecen uno al otro

Dame amor

Dancing With The Mountain
(G.Russell/M.Sherwood/D.Young)

Hot sun as warm as the kissing of the wind
Fooststeps in perfect time
Heartbeat as loud as the whisper in the wood
Hold me this dance is mine
The dance is mine

We are alone, your love excites me
You are the earth moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

We climb up into the shelter of the sky
Footsteps on higher ground
Your voice as soft as a river running dry
Hold me this dance is mine

We are alone, your love's exciting me
You are the earth, moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

Love Conquers Time
(G.Russell)

Love conquers time without fear, without proof
It will rise it will strike in your name
Love conquers time like the light from the moon
It must never be taken in vain

So when you feel the beat is gone
The love you give away will carry on

Love conquers time just like tears in the sand
It will change with each direction you try
Love conquers time from the moment you fall
To those arms like a child you will fly

So when you feel the beat is gone
The love you give away will carry on
It will carry on

Seasons rise and fall from a silent command
Beyond that place of our forever
The road goes on to where it can never end

Love conquers time without fear, without proof
It will rise it will strike in your name
Love conquers time like the light from the moon
It must never be taken in vain

Love conquers time just like tears in the sand
It will change with each direction you try
Love conquers time from the moment you fall
To those arms like a child you will fly

Bread And Blood
(G.Russell)

I'm not afraid of losing you or saying goodbye
If someone needs you more than me, I will understand why
I'd never stand between someone who's holding your heart
But I can't let a superstition tear us apart
Who has the right to speak fire from above
If heaven is away from you, that is the place I'll give up
For falling in love can't be taking these lips from the cup

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

I'm not afraid to face the truth of what I believe
If love was never meant to choose, it could never succeed
And may we always stand alone in everyone's sight
And be the judge unto ourselves between wrong and right
Who puts a price on eternity's sin
Who throws the first stone shall search for perfection again
For you are the reason that pleasure was taken from the pain

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

I won't see you cry, should it make you cry

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

It's Not Too Late
(Graham Russell)

I stand alone I'm just a face in the crowd
I get lonely if the truth be said
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
But I try to understand instead
I wish I had the strength inside to walk
right up to you
I'd never have to hide behind these
doubts I know are true

CHORUS # 1
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're
thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say

So I listen for the perfect moment
To rush to you but my heart's too slow
Everybody here can see me stumble
Better wait until the lights get low
Wish I had the strength inside to walk
right up to you
I wouldn't have to hide behind these
doubts I know are true

CHORUS # 2
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one your
thinking of
It's not too late so don't run away
I need you too

But it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
So hard for me to say

CHORUS # 1 - REPEAT

Lonely Is The Night
(Albert Hammond, Diane Warren)

Really thought that I could live
without you
Really thought that I could make it on
my own
Sent you away yeah I said I didn't
need you
I let you go I let you go I let you go
Now I'm so lost without you
Now you're not here and now I know

CHORUS
Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night ain't no light shining
through
Till you're in my arms till you're here
by my side
Lonely am I

Never thought that I that I would
need you
Never thought that I that I'd be
missing you
Gotta get you back
I just got to find a way now
To let you know to let you know to let
you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world it just ain't right

CHORUS

I can make it through the day
I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend
And I tell myself I'll be alright

But lonely is the night
Lonely is the night

Put Love In Your Life
(Graham Russell)

I don't need money and possessions
I don't need things to weigh me down
I don't need to be under suspicion
For all the things that never come around
All I need is you and your affection
To be a part of everything you do
To break thru a lost communication
To let me know that everything is true

CHORUS
Put love in your life, find it today and hold
me tonight
You know there will always be me
There will always be you
Put love in your life, open your heart it
won't be denied
The one you thought could not be
Is waiting for you

I don't need anxiety to hold me
In the name of something to embrace
I don't need society to scald me
To pin me down and slap me in the face
All I need is you and your affection
To be the judge and jury in my life
Searching for that moment of perfection
To let me know we surely are alive

CHORUS

The puzzled look the years of doubt
It all was meant to be
We can't escape the dreams we make
This feeling now just cannot wait
So share it with me

One More Chance
(John Lang, Richard Page, Steve George)

Whenever my mind sees you girl
I think of the times we owned the world
Crazy in love I missed the signs
I just couldn't see
I never believed you were leavin' my life

CHORUS # 1
Baby give us one more chance
So we can love again
There's a time for love, a time to heal
Now it's time for us to mend

CHORUS # 2
Baby give us one more chance
Let me come back home
I don't wanna run the endless road
Or fight this world alone

You were the diamond in my life
You were the only star in sight
Playin' against the odds I lost
All that I had
Oh what was the cost of you leavin'
my life

CHORUS # 1

CHORUS # 2

Give us one more chance
It's all that we need
To let the heartache mend girl
And make a love once broken
Strong again

CHORUS # 1

CHORUS # 2

Stars In Your Eyes
(Graham Russell)

We are civilized and free from all
confusion
And yet we always worry for the things
that we can't see
But now to give your love away, a miracle
in motion
You know what seems invisible will never
ever be disguised to me

I start to lose control
I start to lose control

CHORUS
I know I will remember for longer than
forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
Until my arms surround you and build
the world around you
All I see are the stars in your eyes

First you hear the angels sing and then
you see the wedding ring
Shining as the threads of life so secretly
are woven
You know what you've found, you want to
last forever
You heart has found its wings and left for
never never

And then I lose control
I start to lose control

CHORUS

I know I will remember for longer than
forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes

CHORUS - REPEAT

My Heart's With You
(Diane Warren)

I know you're leaving
I won't ask you to stay
I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If that's what you've gotta do
I understand
It's not that easy setting you free
But that's how its gotta be
And as you're walking away
As I'm watching you go
There's one thing I want you to know

CHORUS
Just remember my heart's with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no one's there to hold
And you're all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me
someday
I'm just a heartbeat away, wo

Saying goodbye isn't saying we're
through
Just know through it all I'm still here
for you
Light a light in the window
When you're lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you
again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know I'll be there

CHORUS (without last line)

You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
You're leaving me now, but darling I
hope
Hope-that you'll look back someday

(and remember my heart's with you...)

I'd Die For You
(Graham Russell)

When the shadows spread their wings
and chase the day away
The time that is for love I know is near
The mystery we feel will soon surround
us
The journey of both laughter and a tear

Sweet memories we make will be forever
now
The voices from the past will understand
Waiting for the smile that cuts into me
The fragrance of your hair borne on the
wind

CHORUS # 1
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
What is between us is more than your
caress
It's more than I would dare confess
I know it to be true
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
Don't you remember the panic of our love
We've risen high above it now
I owe it all to you
I'd die for you, I'd die for you

The flames that born as one in time may
fall away
The glow that is within will never die
To live without you now, I cannot
understand
To live without you I could not survive

CHORUS # 2
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
What is between us is more than your
caress
It's more than I would dare confess
I know it to be true
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
Don't you remember the vision of our
love
We've risen high above it now

Whenever you hold me the cycle is
complete
The secret of eternal love is laid right
at our feet

CHORUS # 1

You're Only In Love
(Graham Russell)

I remember an evening so long
How your innocence sang
And the notes made me shiver inside
Like your honesty can
You asked me to please explain some
things that seemed new
What was it that felt like pain, and cuts
in two

CHORUS
You're only in love, only in love
Where life is new and dreams come true
You're only in love, only in love
To rise and fall and wait as we learn from
it all

When conscience pulls you away and
your destiny calls
Just follow your heart all the way,
you'll never need more
More than the burning light when
evening must die
You'll never forget this night, or
wonder why

CHORUS

You thought that everything was just a lie
Now, after so much time, don't let the
secret pass you by

Time For Love
(Randy Stern & Anthony La Peau)

I came to try
To tell you that I gotta let go
Now I'm wondering why
God knows I don't even know

I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
I don't care if it's wrong or right
This feeling inside of me
Is more than some fantasy
It's bigger than you & me
It must be time for love

I've spoken my mind
There's nothing left for me to say
Well it's black & white
There's nothing standing in your way

Stay the night here and see
Share you body with me
And I'll show you two hearts on fire
You're reaching out with your eyes
Got me so hypnotized
Now that you realize
It must be time for love

Hold me with all your might
Take me on thru the night
You make everything just right
It must be time for love

Only your heart will know when it's time
for love
Don't wait too long or you'll find you're
All alone & love has come and gone

This feeling inside of me
Is more than some fantasy
It's bigger than you & me
It must be time for love

Hold me with all your might
Take me on thru the night
You make everything just right
It must be time for love

Heart & Soul
(Graham Russell)

Just loving you has left the world behind
I wish I knew how love could be so blind
Now all these thing I never can let go
Can't let go

I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give
you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself
to you

I understand my life has lost control
What would I do without your love to hold
Nobody knows how much I've come alive
All that I have to give I give to you from
deep inside

I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give
you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself
to you
I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give
you my heart & soul)
To hold you now and let your love come
thru

And all these nights I sat alone waiting
for someone
And here you are my very own, waiting
for so long
I want to give you more than you have
known before

Hope Springs Eternal
(Graham Russell)

Pictures of you race across my mind
Filling all the space there is to find
Melting love's own ice that lay so frozen
I give that sacrifice for feeling chosen

So if I face another day without you next
to me
I'll lock you in my mind and wish away
the key

CHORUS
Hope springs eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong

Hope springs eternal thru your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong

Given back the trust that was so fleeting
Captured by one my heart was
seeking
Taken to my destiny's horizon
Searching for the moon we see it rising

And in the silence of the night, I hold you
next to me
Feeling dreams take flight, they set the
spirit free

CHORUS

Just as I Am [1985]

2006-04-23T00:46:00.000-07:00

Just As I Am
I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I Can't Let Go
I have the ring that needs your finger
I want you always to remember
I want you to be a part of my dreams
I was so lonely here without you
I was so cold just like a statue
Being with you has made me complete

I can feel your loving touch inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Every day and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let to
You're a part of me, don't you know

Would you give me just a lifetime
I'II stand beside you through the years that come and go
Nothing at all could stand in our way

I can feel your answer deep inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Every day and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let to
You're a part of me, don't you know

The Power Of Love
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'cause I am always by your side

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
made it clear suddenly
the feeling that I can't go on
is light years away

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

Make It Right
I want you to brighten the days of my life
I want you and I all alone to be together at night

I can't stand it
The feeling when you're far away
I want to wrap you up in my little world
So you'll be here today

When we fly through the night
Can't you feel the rush of 1,000 dancers
come into your life
I'll be there to make it right

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

I want you to put your trust in me
Say goodbye to all your heartaches as fast as you can
I need you to surrender to me all your body and soul
And the spirit we seek will enter us both and make us complete

When we fly through the night
And it feels like heaven's wings we're riding
You've got to hold on tight
If you feel like I do
Knowing nothing can go wrong between us
I'll be there to make it right, make it right

Know me, show me
All your love
You're here today
You know you're here always
You know I can't get enough
You know I can't get enough

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

I Wanna Hold You Tonight
Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say:
It's not too late to tell you,
I know I wanna tell you

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone
Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I wanna hold you closer

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

I only wish my heart
Could fly like it does
When I sit and dream
I'll never wake again
As I hold you tenderly
My thoughts were real
And being with you now is the only
thought that's strong,
It's a lonely night, and I'm trying
to hold on...

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Black And Blue
Blue, blue is the color of skies
Blue is the color of your eyes
Your beautiful blue eyes
Black, black is the color you wore
Black is the promise you made before you closed
the door
And never told me why

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

You, you used to sleep by my side
You swore you had nothing to hide
And now there's nothing left to lose

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Down in the depths of your soul
I hear the echo and the sigh that your secrets
can not hide
They never lie to me

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Broken in two because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away having me all black and blue.

When The Time Is Right
When the time is right
I will come back for you
To hold you through the night
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Why can't we learn how to love and let go
One more time

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Don't you feel the heat of the night deep inside,
Oh Jane

When the time is right
And you reach out for me
I'll run back to your side
Just where I used to be, Oh Jane

You can take the pain away
Say we'll be together once more
Please open the door, Oh Jane

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Will we ever learn how to love
Learn how to love and let go

When the time is right
I will come back for you
With arms to hold you tight
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Because I believe the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Tell me if you want me to go
I'll leave you alone, Oh Jane.

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Can't you feel the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Why can't we learn how to love,
Learn how to love and let go.

Sandy
Sandy, the fireworkds are hailin' over little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoney faces left stranded
on this warm July

And the boys from the casino dance with shirts open
Like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, my, my, my baby.

Sandy, the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself
On fire for me, anymore
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For telling fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life is through
You outta quit this scene, too

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, my, my, my baby.

Oh I mean it Sandy girl
Oh, my, my, my baby,
Oh I love you Sandy girl,
My, my, my baby...

Great Pioneer
It happened long ago
When I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dreampt of summer love
And moving high up north
But no one would go
So I walked up the hill and lay there
Imagining the day was near
I know I want to stay there
And be a great pioneer

I made a promise then
That I'd find a place
Where my world won't end
Give me a piece of land
That will be my life
That I will defend
If I work really hard
I will surely survive
I know my virtue is strong
No one could oppose a spirit so raw
To be a part of the state
To be known as a great pioneer
I keep the fires burning
to let you know I'm free
My heart will always be yearning

To be, a part of the state
To be, a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer

And if it all should end
And I hear the call
From the great unknown
I'll need to go my way
Let me have my day
Let me be alone

I was dreaming here and lay there
Knowing that my time is here
I know I wanna stay there

To be, a part of the state
To be, a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer

Sunset
Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time, the day is too end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again

But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you

Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do.

Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call
But now to lose your love
The charm throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone

I have memories enough
To help me find my way
To bring back all the love we've known

After All
Night-
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans

You-
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
'Cause you finally understand

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

We-
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right

You didn't know-
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

We were young
And your dreams took you places far from me
I was wrong
To believe
That you'd go
'Cause here you are

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

Never Fade Away
Walking along the boulevard
Speaking into the air
Where can I find the life
I know that only dreams can share
I close my eyes and see you there
Calling me far beyond
Wrapped in a robe of mystery
You wave your magic wand

Maybe it's real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not love, all my dreams are your home
I stare thru a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps, as you
Cast off my fear

Walk with me thru the gates of time, to eternity
and our love, will never fade away

We can fly to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

Walking along the boulevard
Wishing we were complete
Why are some things so very hard to witness and believe

The victor of this universe
The victim of the wind
Where does a dream begin and end
And where does life begin

Maybe it's real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not love, all my dreams are your home
I stare thru a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps, as you
Cast off my fear

Walk with me thru the gates of time, to eternity
and our love, will never fade away

We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

Now and Forever [1982]

2006-04-23T00:42:00.000-07:00

Now And Forever
(Graham Russell)

When love is new
And the world is not reaching for you
We try hard to hold it all
In our hands
But it slipped through
Like soft drifting sands
But drying the tears
Can build it all like new

CHORUS
Now and forever
Remember the words
>From my heart will always be true
Now and forever
Together and all that I feel
Here's my love for for you

Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things I knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all I want to do

CHORUS

Hold me as close
As love will allow
Until all your fears are gone
What has all passed
Is over now
I'm here with you
I'm here with you
I'm holding on
I'm holding on

CHORUS

Even The Nights Are Better
(J. L. Wallace, Kenneth Bell, Terry Skinner)

I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely

I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me

I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you

CHORUS
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you

You, you knew just what to do
'Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain

And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
'Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way

I never thought there'd be someone to hold me
But then you told me
And now that I've found you

CHORUS

Even the days are brighter
When someone you love's beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you

Young Love
(Graham Russell)

Lately all my thoughts have gone to you
You know that's true
Sometimes I feel just a word away
You'll say oh how I miss you too I do

Time is tight I'm lost for words
That's not like me
Only your eyes could know the way I feel
And how much I need you now with me

CHORUS
Young love so strong has never been a part of me
Young love hold on we're feeling it now
Is this the way it's meant to be

I know I'll be the one to lose if I'm so wrong
Don't be afraid to put your heart on the line
I'll take you where I know you belong

Take my thoughts away beyond the things we see
Sometimes I feel just a word away
You'll say oh how I really feel it should be

CHORUS

Two Less Lonely People In The World
(Howard Greenfield, Ken Hirsch)

I was down my dreams were wearing thin
When you're lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love that never came my way

Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look and then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched I knew that there would be

CHORUS
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
In the world tonight

Just to think what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are

CHORUS

Tonight I fell in love with you
And all the things I never knew
Seemed to come to me somehow
Baby, love is here and now there's

CHORUS

Taking The Chance
(Graham Russell)

You're in-between aa page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
this time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now

CHORUS
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want it all to carry on

Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now

CHORUS
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want it all to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you

CHORUS

Come What May
(Cynthia Well, Tom Snow)

When she looks at me
I know the girl sees things
Nobody else can see

All of the secret fears inside
All of the craziness I hide
She looks into my soul
And reads me like nobody can

And she doesn't judge the man
She just takes me as I am

CHORUS
Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something
I've never known before
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more

When I turn away
She knows those are the times
There's nothing left to say

Nothing that anyone can do
And so she lets me live it through
And when I'm in my darkest hours of uncertainty
She just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me

CHORUS

And when it seems my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just can't be found
I turn around and there they are
Shining in her eyes

CHORUS

One Step Closer
(Graham Russell)

I didn't really walk away I had something to explain
Trying to reach you night and day when I did not know your name
Shall we promise just to talk of it alone, all alone

Why can't the voice that said hello at the moment of first sight
Whisper the words I need to know speak to me that way tonight
Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today

CHORUS
One step closer forward motion
One step nearer our destination
One step closer forward motion
One step nearer our destination

How can I bring myself to sleep till I'm resting by your side
Sharing the secrets hard to keep
When you live them all through the night
And then wake up with the words I'll always want you to say
Come to me today

CHORUS

A lonely man has come undone
Is it wrong to think I understand when you are as close to me
And not much further to go

Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today

CHORUS

Don't Be Afraid
(Graham Russell, Frank Esler-Smith)

When winter calls and the wind won't wait
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so long like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see

CHORUS
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are freed

CHORUS

She Never Heard Me Call
(Graham Russell, Rex Goh)

One warm night I fell in love
The air was still the worlds would flow
We knew each other oh so well
And though just met you'd never tell

Sometimes we're just lonely hearts
That ride upon a floating card
Prepared to live those sleepless nights
For precious time in paradise

CHORUS
And now I find the future's gone
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
I tried for it all
She never heard me call at all

There's no regrets we made the choice
We listened to that silent voice
That haunts you till you just give in
And makes you like a child again

We drifted close then said goodbye
Just reading well each other's eyes
The world had turned while we stood still
And held on to each other

CHORUS
And in between the right and wrong
Is somewhere that sometimes you can belong
I cried for it all
She never heard me call
And now I find the future's gone
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
I cried for it all
She never heard me call at all

What Kind Of Girl
(Graham Russell, Rex Goh)

What kind of man is enough to begin to understand
How love begins so small
>From that first day when she wakes and your arms are all she has
To hold on to
You'll never let her go and you say
"What kind of girl."

You'll never run anymore now that the world has come alive
For you, you'll say (how did I once survive)
What kind of girl does it take that gives everything she has
Always you know you'll never let her go
And you'll say what kind of girl

CHORUS
What kind of girl
What kind of girl
What kind of girl
What kind of girl

>From that first day when she wakes and your arms are all she has
To hold on to
You'll never let her go and you say
What kind of girl

CHORUS

The One That You Love [1981]

2006-04-23T00:39:00.000-07:00

Don't Turn Me Away
(Graham Russell)

We shared such a special love
It seemed to have no end
But now it hurts me just to remember
Your eyes used to tell me so much
That words could never find
And now you say you don't know
Where your future lies
But you've got to find it now
Or get left behind

CHORUS
Don't turn me away
I can't forget it all in just one day
Take some time to speak your mind
But say it's not over
Don't turn me away
Don't close the door on us this way
I'm so sure that there's much more
You just have to tell me

Remember those fireside nights
It's not that long ago
YOu said you wanted to stay there forever
I gave you the strength of my hand
When things were running low
I didn't know you would go back on
What you said
There must be some reasons there
That you don't want to share

CHORUS

And just when you needed me
I said I'd be there until the end
What is it that's changed in you
When all I want is to be your friend
I need a friend

CHORUS

Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)
(Norman Sallitt)

Here I am playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time had set me free
Those thoughts of you keep taunting me

Holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
Though each and every part of me has tried
Only you can fill that space inside

So there's no sense pretending
My heart it's not mending

CHORUS
Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without you

On my own I've tried to make the best of it alone
I've done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain

I just can't live without you
I miss everything about you

CHORUS

Keeping The Love Alive
(Richard Supa)

Both of us holding back
So afraid
To fall in love and lose again
We've both been hurt before
Saw love walk out the door
In the end

Actin' as cold as ice
When we wanna be
Just a foolish game we play
You couldn't hurt me bad enough
To make me give it up
And walk away

CHORUS
We can't stop
The feeling's too strong
We've got the will to hang on
Can't stop
We struggle and fight to survive
Keepin' the love alive

We try to forget the past
So many times
It's hard to make those memories leave
With all we have at stake
We'll bend until we break
'Cause we both believe

CHORUS

If we stand the test of time
Love will be the lasting kind

CHORUS

The One That You Love
(Graham Russell)

Now the night has gone
Now the night has gone away
Doesn't seem that long
We hardly had two words to say
Hold me in your arms
For just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh...
We have the right you know
We have the right you know

Don't say the morning's come
Don't say the morning's come so soon
Must we end this way
When so much here is hard to lose
Love is everywhere
I know it is
Such moments as this
Are too few
Oh...
It's all up to you
It's all up to you

CHORUS
Here I am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

Tell me we can stay
Tell me we can stay oh please
They are the words to say
The only words I can believe
Hold me in your arms
For just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh...
We have the right you know
We have the right you know

CHORUS

The night has gone
A part of yesterday
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say

CHORUS

This Heart Belongs To Me
(Graham Russell)

Where are all the tricks that people play
When they're afraid to say
I want you to hold on to me
If I let you go again tonight
Whose arms will keep me warm
And take me where I want to be
But if I lose and then surrender all I know
What would I do if you decided to let go
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
My head down in my hands
Just wondering why

CHORUS
This heart belongs to me
And I know what I believe
But now it longs to be
Only with you

Where are all the words I sometimes say
When I'm afraid to ask
I want you to hold on to me
Anyway you want to let me know
You're sharing my belief
Of wanting to hold on to me
I tell the truth and risk you running from my life
So much to lose and yet
You know how hard I try
Hopelessly I'd stand there with everything all gone
My head down in my hands
Just wondering why

CHORUS

My love it goes only to one
This heart belongs to me
MY love it goes only to one
This heart belongs to me
My love
My love
This heart belongs to me
My love, my love
This heart belongs to me

Sweet Dreams
(Graham Russell)

This is the time when you need a friend
You just need someone near
I'm not looking forward to the night I'll spend
Thinking of you when you're not here
How many times will I think about the things
I'd like to do
Always denied th right to live my life the way I want
I want to share it with you

CHORUS
Close your eyes I want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes I want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams

I'll think of your kiss as the days roll by
And I'll write the words you love
And what I can't say in a letter
Will jut have to wait till I get home

There's not much time to tell you half the things I should
Only that I'm so glad I fellin love with you
And I'd do it again if I could

CHORUS

Sleep like a child resting deep
You don't know what you give me I keep
For these moments alone

CHORUS

I Want To Give It All
(Graham Russell, Rex Goh)

Here I am again
I've come to see you smile
I know you understand
I have to say again
It's only for awhile

And still you're always here
Just waiting for my call
I wish I knew a Way
To give more than I do
I want to give it all

CHORUS
It doesn't happen every day
But it happened to me once before
Those early years I threw away
Now I only have to hear your voice
To make me feel so sure
That your love is why
I want to give it all

Don't the minutes fly
And hours just seem so few
With days apart so long
It's hard to spend my time
When I'm so far from you

And still you're always there
Just waiting for my call
I wish I knew a way
To give more than I do
I want to give it all

CHORUS

I'll Never Get Enough Of You
(Jeannie Napoli, Gary Portnoy, Judy Quay)

All last night we lay in bed making love
I never felt so much before with anyone
Never had to say a word
It was all right there
The warmth inisde us flamed and circled everywhere

And if I never have another love
Well at least I had last night
Now I know how the feeling grows
'Cause you made me come alive

CHORUS
I'll never get enough, never get enough
Never get enough of you
I'll never get enough, never get enough
Never get enough of you
I only wanna give you more

Now you're gone, I'm all alone just lying here
Waiting for the moment when I'll feel you near
Never asked if you'd come back,
I was too damn proud
I just smile and touched your hair
As you went out

CHORUS

Tonight
(Graham Russell)

Now you tell me that the time is right
You've let your feeling go
And you know I won't use them up too fast
I can't promise you the best there is
Bot, oh, I'm gonna try
I'm never gonna let you go tonight

CHORUS
Tonight, the start of a love to remember
Tonight, a love that will never be ended
Tonight, tonight

Let me take you where there's no return
Where dreams can all come true
I've got the feeling we've been holding on too long
What we're feeling is ours alone
No one will ever know
Just how we feel about tonight

CHORUS

How many times has love fallen through
When I left it all up to you
I took your words when you said
It's got to be just right
I need you now, I need you now

CHORUS

I've Got Your Love
(Graham Russell)

I've got your love I don't know how we did it
I don't know why it seemed so long
I've got your love I don't know why you hid it
I've never felt like this before

CHORUS
I won't fall in love
You said it so sure
You haven't noticed you never say that any more

I've got your love
And it's a perfect reason for understanding life some more

Burnt your fingers before
Burnt your fingers before

I've got your love I don't know how we did it
I don't know why it seemed so long
I've got your love it's such a total feeling
I don't know where it all began

CHORUS

I've got your love
And if I lose all others
I know it wouldn't hurt at all
I've got your love I don't know how we did it
I don't k know why it seemed so long

I've got your love, I've got your love
I don't know why it seemed so long

Lost in Love [1980]

2006-04-22T23:15:00.000-07:00

Lost In Love
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I realize the best part of love is the thinnest lace
And it don't count for much but I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Chorus:
Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking about
Fell out of touch
But I'm back on my feet
Eager to be what you wanted

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Chorus

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Chorus

Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love

All Out Of Love
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

Chorus:
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Chorus(3x)

Every Woman In The World
(Dominic Buggatti/Frank Musker)

Every night seems dinner and wine
Saturday days
I was never in love, never had the time
In my hustle and hurried world
Laughing my self to sleep, waking up lonely
I needed someone to hold me, oh

It's such a crazy home town
It can drag you down
Till you run out of dreams
So you party all night to the music and lights
But you don't what happiness means
I was dancing in the dark with strangers
No love around me
When suddenly you found me, oh

Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're my fantasy, you're my reality
Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're everything I need, you're everything to me
Oh girl

Everything good, everything fine
That's what you are
So put your hand in mine and together we'll climb
As high as the highest star
I'm living the life time in every minute
That we're together
And I'm staying right here forever, oh

Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're my fantasy, you're my reality
Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're everything I need, you're everything to me
Oh girl

Just Another Woman
(Graham Russell)

Just another woman
In my life
Just another woman
Lost in the night
Just another woman
Keepin' in touch with a man

Knock upon my window
Late at night making me believe
that something's not right
I look through the window but all I can see
Is the rain
Standing on my doorstep
Not very old looking so helpless
And looking so cold
A woman in need of some help
Most have lost her way

She was tall
She was lost
She could smile
And her words got crossed

Just another woman
In my life
Just another woman
Lost in the night
Just another woman
Keepin' in touch with a man

As we sat by the fire
The flame just grew
Talking about just the things we knew
Watching a new day arise outside my room
The more I listened the more she told
And in fascination my heart was sold
Weaving in and out of my mind
With a skidder off now

She was tall
She was lost
She could smile
And her words got crossed

Just another woman
In my life
Just another woman
Lost in the night
Just another woman
Keepin' in touch with a man

Having You Near Me
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I came to you and never asked too much
Wondering what you would say
Hoping you'd understand
It's not a role I usually play
Don't speak too much of what's been going on
The past is over and gone
Give me your troubled mind
You know it's used
I can do so much for you

I want you
Having you near me, holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right

You're brave to say that you get lost in love
But you opened your heart to me
Underneath all you feel you know
How deep our love could be
Tonight we'll touch until it's time to go
Then I'm leaving it up to you
Even a fool would know that I'm not through
I can do so much for you

I want you
Having you near me, holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right
Having you near me, holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right

American Hearts
(Dominic Bugatti/Frank Musker)

They were married in September back in 1969
They travelled, these two Indians,
To find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time oh oh

They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it
with loving and shareing
They'll never live like their parents have done
Their innocence shone like the sun

American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken

Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills
He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping
So the doctor gives her pills oh oh

Who are these strangers who used to be lovers
Now they've got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They filed for divorce and it breaks their
American hearts, so fiIled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken

Ah - American hearts
Ah - American hearts, American hearts

Now that it's over they'll each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
They'll care for their children protect them with pride
And that's how their dream will survive in
American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken

American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken

Chances
(Graham Russell)

There's a chance you will be there
I'd like to know the truth
I'll find it out somehow
The chances aren't too strong
A chance you will be there
Please be there alone
Help me speak of love
Chances aren't enough
Ones too good to miss
Chances aren't too strong
A Chance is all there is

There's a chance you will be there
Wondering what to do
How to play my role
I'll leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile
It gives too much away
What if we can't speak
What then shall I say
Don't you be too long
Something has gone wrong
The chances are all gone
(Repeat)

Old Habits Die Hard
(Criston Backer/David Moyse)

Seems like yesterday my life had begun
As we went through life trying to make it so much fun
And I know that I'm still in love with you
Because you're one that have but that I can't refuse
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard

Lost restrictions since you've been gone
And it's so hard trying to say that I was wrong

Now I know that I'm still in love with you
Because you're one that have but that I can't refuse
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard

You know and I know
that you can't live on memories alone

There's just one memory that I'm thinking of
Just one habitthat I can't shake off
It's you
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard

Now I know that I'm still in love with you
Because you're one that have but that I can't refuse
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard

There's just one memory that I'm thinking of
Just one habitthat I can't shake off
It's you
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard
Old habits die hard, old habits die hard

I Can't Get Excited
(Graham Russell)

Every since feeling now would take my life into a year ago
You say you love me again
I can't say what I cannot do
It's been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now you're here wondering why you can't get near

I can't get excited, can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do

I'm turning back the pages now
I pleaded with you all so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping that I might be the one
So come down love me and it'll be alright
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought I'd have to say
that you should leave and go your way

I can't get excited, can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do

Not in love, still not in love with you
Not in love, I'm still not in love with you
Not in love, still not in love with you
Not in love

Tell me why you can't leave me lonely
Tell me why I'm taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you
Taking a chance on you

I can't get excited, can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do

Can't get excited, I can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I use to do
Can't get excited, I can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited, can't get excited

My Best Friend
(Graham Russell)

You're here looking like my best friend
Hoping you'll find a way
To tell me you just can't stay

You laughed hard at the world, I know
Now that the seasons show
To tell me, love, your heart will soon mend

We counted everyday
Only to show we needed each other
Who needs a reason to love
When friends just seem to know
They know it

You have lots of dreams, I know
Now it's the close of the show
Let's hope it'll all passes by in the end
So get yourself along
You're my best friend

The Whole Thing's Started [1977]

2006-04-08T20:42:00.000-07:00

Teach Me To Run
If I've got to run instead of feeling proud
If I've got to find you in a big wide crowd
No doubt the country side is waiting for me
There ain't no answer to what I say.

Now that I've found my soul I'm free
Back to the highway that's calling me
There must be reasons why I've got to hide
There ain't no answer to what I say

I'm standing alone, my money's all gone
So throw me a gun, and teach me to run
I'm standing alone, my money's all gone
So throw me a gun, and teach me to run

Here I stand I'm a wanted man
Living in the shadows wherever I can
There must be reasons why I've got to hide
There ain't no answer to what I say

I'm standing alone, my money's all gone
So throw me a gun, and teach me to run
I'm standing alone, my money's all gone
So throw me a gun, and teach me to run

Do It Again
I used to watch you walk away
'Til the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on
And you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when I'm all weary
You would turn me down again
At least that's the way I can remember

Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again

Every little word you told me got home
I'm still thinking about them
Every little secret we could have known
And we can't live without them

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again

And I do think about you each now and then
And each time it gets tighter
From the road I can see the last break
And my head's getting lighter

Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again

Do What You Do
Do what you do 'cos you do it so well
So stand in my way
If only I knew what these eyes could not tell
What this mouth could not say
People are wrong but I'm right this time
I'm losing bad friends fast

Do what you do and keep it that way
And this love will last

Do what you do when your lights are turned down
And you wake up afraid
Think of the love that I have here for you
And the wish will be made
Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you're never sure
Don't look too far, it's here where you are

Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

There's Nothing I Can Do
I met you all alone yesterday
You knew my life was beating fast
The words I planned all walked away
And left us holding what we have

We shouldn't stay this long together
I cwne to tell you and now I know
The only chance of a love forever
Went so many years ago

I've told you there's nothing I can do
I ve told you I've got to get to you

I'm not trying to bring you down
I know you can bring me out of my darkness
I'm just trying to find your name
I'm just trying to find your name.

Ready For You
Painted sands and makeshift hands take us round and round
Horizon clear, you'll soon be near and walking on the ground
I've been round the corner sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border, we can float into the night

Oh, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

Cloudy Sky, the wind is high and trying to break the spell
But I'll be here when you appear I'll see the nijtht as well
A feeling's not a feeling if you can't believe it's true
I'd sooner be believing 'til the ship comes sailing thru'

Oh, I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

I've been round the corner sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border, we can float into the night

Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you
Oh, I'm ready for you

That's How The Whole Thing Started
I feel just like your love tonight
So who's to say I'm wrong
I've got to say I feel just right
It's never been so strong

There seems so many points to make
But I feel this is a big mistake
We're so old and this is new
And I've really got to tell you
I always said that we should remain free
But that was up to you and not to me
I started strong but I've met someone
You know how long it's been

That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started

Baby baby it's wrong
But I've been in and out of love so long
Here we stand not more than friends
I broke your heart again
I've gone and met someone

That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started
That's how the whole thing started

Love Comes To Me
As long as I live, all that I receive, is what I want to give to you
I know that if I can stay for a while, you will soon love me too
Let's take a chance, at least we'll learn a lesson
It beats hanging round waiting for moments that wait into days
I don't want to love you in two different ways

Do you want to give, do you want to give me your whole day and more
Do you want to give, do you want always the key to the door

It's easy for you talking your way out of all situations
When you can't see thru' and leave it up to me
And that's what I do
And that's what I do

Love comes to me and leaves me with you
Love runs thru' me in all that you do
Don't walk away, don't leave me standing here
That's not the way, don't lead me anywhere
I need you now, I need you now
Don't leave me standing here
Oh, I don't know, I just don't know
It's much too fast for me, can't we go slow
Oh, I don't know, I just don't know
What do you want me to do.

The Answer Lies
Reach into your heart when you are near me
The answer lies at hand
Throw away all your fears of getting nowhere
For all your moves are planned
So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and I'll be there
The answer lies there for you

Come, oh won't you come, someone is calling
And no one else will do
Wake, from the dream in which you are falling
The answer lies there for you
So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and I am sure
The answer lies there for you

So don't spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and I am sure
The answer lies, the answer lies,
The answer lies, there for you.

It's Automatic
All my life I've been a manual man
I like the floor all the power in my hand
Driving up and down the road all day
Overtaking anything in the way

Alongside us came a man in a grin
Winding down the window clever again
You know manual is far too old
To keep pace then he left us cold

It's automatic, it's automatic
It s automatic, it goes by itself

Quick thinking and a mutual aim
So on finding out the name of the game
A different unit was ordered that day
Who wants to go thru' the gears anyway
The same colour the same design
The same car with a different mind
Knowing now we wouldn't take second place
Both saying with a smile on our face

It's automatic, it's automatic
It s automatic, it goes by itself

The End Of The Line
This will take some understanding
I believe someone is sending, love to us and everyone
Who cares to take a gamble sometimes
Think of me I've given all I can, stretched an arm and open hand to you
So never say no
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

You I need, always needed don't turn back for any reason
First we talk and then we fall headfirst into each others thinking
Please be where I'll always see you,
life is short
The twinkle of an eye is all we have until, we say
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

Take me away take me away
Take me away
Do you dream fantasy and believe what
you see is weird
I need a remedy or a book to get off this fear

All I wanted to know is how do I get
the truth from here
We play so small a part, but we started
from somewhere

All the friends that I can think of
Know what's going to happen to them
If they don't think on today and plan
ahead for their tomorrow
Here we are just lucky children breaking
out of the sheff
I'll take your hand today and love
you 'til we reach
The end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Do you dream fantasy and believe what
you see is weird.
