Against All Odds
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face I wish
I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause l'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now
Sweetheart
A gleam in my eye
Because of you
I'm a little hypnotized
But every time you're with me
I feel so positive
Now with a little love
Something's got to give
Bridge
A full moon (yeah yeah)
Is waiting in the twilight
Maybe soon
You will come to be my night
Here we are
Hoping that we never part
Stay with me
Hook Baby, won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
Won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
(What you think about, What you think about you and me baby going one on one)
Just you and I
You are no Casanova
I know that you'll be true
And that's why
I'm so in love with you
But each romantic ending
You leave me at my door
But tonight I'd like us to explore
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Hook
Stars are bright Mood is right
(Say what MC baby sing it to me)
To keep me warn away from harm
Nowhere better than my baby's arms
(Repeat)
Repeat Hook
Let's get together
Live happily ever after
No one to make us sad
Oh baby You know I need your love
Romance
I Still Believe
And I get emotional inside.
I know it's crazy
But you still can touch my heart.
And after all this time,
You'd think that I,
I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed.
Chorus:
I still believe, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.
I had a dream, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.
Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy I could find.
You know that I am not the desperate type.
If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands.
It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.
No, no, no, no, no, no I need you baby.
I still believe that we can be together.
If we believe that true love never has to end,
Then we must know that we will love again.
Open Arms
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We've drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me...
Open arms
Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me...
Open arms
One Sweet Day
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling, I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
Underneath The Stars
We ran away for a while
Laughing, we hurried beneath the sky
To an obscure place to hide
That no one could find
And we drifted to another state of mind
And imagined I was yours and you were mine
As we lay upon the grass
There in the dark
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars
Weak in the knees
Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze
So shy, a bundle of butterflies
Flush with heat of desire
On a natural high
As we drifted to another place in time
And the feeling was so heady and sublime
As I lost my heart in you
There in the dark
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
And I was gently fading into you
But the time went sailing by
Reluctantly we said good-bye
And left our secret place so far behind
And I lay in bed all night and I was
Drifting drifting drifting drifting
And I was yours
And you were my own
My own baby
As we lay As we...
Lay underneath the stars (...baby...baby)
Dreamlover
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away
I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away
Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby
I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday Of my live
Always
So come and take me away
Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby
Love Takes Time
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see that I treated you wrong
Now I wonder around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone
Chorus:
Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go I can't escape the pain
Inside
Love takes time
I don't wanna be here alone
Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly
Repeat Chorus
You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do and I feel that you do
Inside
Repeat Chorus

When I Saw You
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There were no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no one else
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe, I feel so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I’d never be, I’d never be the same
With beginning and
Without an end
You are the one for me
It’s evident
And your eyes told me so
Your eyes let me know...
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe, I feel so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I’d never be, I’d never be the same...
When You Believe
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will, (Now you will (3rd Chorus through))
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
Chorus
So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith
Chorus
Without You
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can’t forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it’s only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
I can’t live If living is without you
I can’t live I can’t give anymore
I can’t live If living is without you
I can’t give I can’t give anymore
Well I can’t forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can’t live If living is without you
I can’t live I can’t give anymore
I can’t live If living is without you
I can’t give I can’t give anymore
My All
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me right
Cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight
Fantasy
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kind of hectic inside
Baby, I’m so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it’s just a
Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It’s so deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you’re going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it’s just a
Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It’s so deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
I’m in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There’s no beginning and there is no end
Feels like I’m dreaming but I’m not sleeping
It’s just a Sweet, sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It’s so deep in my daydreams
But it’s just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
I'll Be There
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I’ll be there
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and
I’ll be there
And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you
I build my world of dreams around you
so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love so strong
I’ll be your strength
You know, I’ll keep holding on
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness is all I’m after
Whenever you need me
And I’ll be there
I’ll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love I’ll respect you
Just call my name and I’ll be there
And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you
I build my world of dreams around you
You know, I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love so strong
I’ll be your strength
You know, I’ll keep holding on
If you should ever find someone new
I know she’d better be good to you
‘Cos if she doesn’t, Then I’ll be there
Don’t you know, baby, I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Just call my name and I’ll be there
I’ll be there, baby
You know I’ll be there
Just call my name and
I’ll be there
Just call my name and
I’ll be there

Emotions
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of
You’ve got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above
I feel good
I feel nice
I’ve never felt so
Satisfied
I’m in love
I’m alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feel like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don’t know if it’s real
But I like the way I feel
Inside
Chorus
In the morning
When I rise
You are the first thing
On my mind
And in the middle
Of the night
I feel your heartbeat
Next to mine
It feels like a dream
When you love me tenderly
I don’t know if you’re for real
But I like the way I feel
Inside
Chorus
You know the way to make me lose control
When you’re looking into my eyes
You make me feel so high
Chorus
Hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Forever
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life
Only for you
From now
Until forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
You will always be the only one...
As long as I shall live
I’ll hold you dear
And I will reminisce
Of our love all through the years
From now
Until forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
yes You will always be the only one...
If you should ever need me
Unfailingly
I will return to your arms
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember
That we belong together
Never be ashamed
Call my name
Tell me
I’m the one you treasure
Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
You will always be the only one...
Always Be My Baby
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I’ll let you fly
‘Cause I know in my heart
Our love will never die
You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Boy don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling ‘cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re ever gonna shake me
Oh darling, ‘cause you’ll always be my baby
I ain’t gonna cry
And I won’t beg you to stay
If you’re determined to leave boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you’ll be back again
‘Cause you know in your heart babe
Our love will never end
You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Boy don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling ‘cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re ever gonna shake me
Oh darling, ‘cause you’ll always be my baby
I know that you’ll be back boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
I know that you’ll be right back baby
Oh baby believe me it’s only a matter of time
You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Boy don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling ‘cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re ever gonna shake me
Oh darling, ‘cause you’ll always be my baby

Whenever You Call
Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
We can only turn into one
Chorus
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
Verse
And I'm truly inspired
Finding my soul
There in your eyes
And you
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised
Chorus
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember
The part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
Bridge
And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside
Chorus
I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
Chorus
I won't ever be too far to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
I'll always remember
That part of you so tender
And be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
Reflections
Reflections of your love have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms with how we said goodbye
Did you really care
Care at all for me
Did you really care
Did you care enough for me
A displaced little girl wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day to keep on living
And tried so many ways to keep her soul alive
Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care enough for me
If I'm not quite good enough or somehow undeserving of a mother's love
You could have had the decency to give me up
Before you gave
Me life
Don't you even care
Just the slightest little bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you cared
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe
In my heart of heart of hearts, you care for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly
Don't you even care
Care enough
for me
(ohhhh)
Reflections of your love have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
After Tonight
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of time
And time again
Patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive
CHORUS 1:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade
I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all l'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of time
Alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes
CHORUS 2:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
Time
And time and time again
So patiently I've waited
For this moment to arrive
CHORUS 3:
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer
After you go
Baby will you return to love me
After the night becomes the day
All I've Ever Wanted
If you only knew
What I feel for you
If you only lived for me
The way I live for you
Then I'd be in heaven
And all of my dreams would come true
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you
If you were my own
To caress and hold
I'd shower you with love
And drown within your soul
'Cause I live and breathe for you
And I really need you to know
That all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you
Everything I do is for you
And you are every part of me
And I don't want to face
Another day
Alone
Without your love
'Cause all I've ever wanted
Is you
And you alone
And I love you so
More than you could ever know
All I've ever wanted
Is you
All I've wanted
Is you
I've Been Thinking About You
We've known each other
For a long long time
But I never really noticed
All the magic in your eyes
I've been around you
A thousand times before
And you've always been a friend to me
But now I'm wanting more
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You're the one that's right for me
All the while I couldn't see
And now I feel so strange
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And I don't know what to do
'Cause baby
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
There's no explaining how I feel inside
I'm going thru a transformation
That's so hard for me to hide
I had a revelation that
Finally opened up my eyes
The one I spent a lifetime searching for
Was right here all the time
I was oblivious so very out of touch
All the while I couldn't see
You're the one that's right for me
And now my world has changed
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And it's all because of you
Sweet baby
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
Don't you know
That you're blowing my mind
What you do to me
I can't describe
Baby I can't hold back anymore
I just can't conceal it
You're the one I really adore
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
Just To Hold You Once Again
Do you know
How it feels
Lying here without you baby
You could never understand, what's happening to me
So alone
Nothing's real
I just dream about you baby
And forever wonder why you had
To break free
Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
It's so hard
To believe
I don't have you right beside me
As I long to touch you
But you're out of my reach
And my heart doesn't feel
It's so very cold inside me
Just a shadow of someone that I used to be
Even though you're not my lover
Even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
You were the only one (only one)
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Where did I go wrong
Even though you're not my lover
And even though you're not my friend
I would give my all
To have you here
Just to hold you once again
Just to hold you once again
Honey
Ooh, ooh, honey got me hooked on you(you, you)
Woohoo
Ooh, ooh, honey got me hooked on you
woohoooho
Honey, You can have me when you want me
If you just simply ask me to be there
And you're the only one who makes me come running
Cause what you got is far beyond compare
And its just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby, I've got a dependency
Always come back for another taste of your honey
*Chorus*
It's like honey really washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin for ya, cryin for ya, I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day
I cant hardly wait for another taste of honey
Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside
I can't be elusive with you Honey
Cause blatant that I'm feeling you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
Cause you're the only thing I wanna do
And it's just like Honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby, I've got dependency
Always come back for another
Taste of your honey
*Chorus*
It's like honey really washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dyin for ya, cryin for ya, I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me
Now I'm strung out on you darlin'
Don't you see every night and day
I cant hardly wait for another taste of honey
Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside
Honey I can't describe
How good it feels inside
*Chorus*
Lead The Way
Do, do, do, do...
mmmm...
oh...
[Verse 1:]
Who would've believed
That you and me would fall
And land together
And who could've foreseen
In you I'd find the place
I've belonged forever
[Chrous:]
And if I move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way
[Verse 2:]
I'd given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mine to treasure
And now nothing's the same
I found myself reborn
On the day I met you
[Chrous 2:]
And if we move closer
Then love will take over
And lead the way...yeah...
Suddenly you are lying here with me
And the truths I used to hold have changed
[Chrous 3:]
And if I move closer
And let it take over...
Then love... will lead the way...
(ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
hmmm...
so, do, do
hmmm...
If we move closer
And let it take over..., over
Then love... will lead the way...yeah...
Looking In
You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don't believe
That's all there is to see
You'll never know the real me
She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbours adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she can never be
She wades in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me
Don't say she takes it all for granted
I'm well aware of all I have
Don't think that I am disenchanted
Please understand
It seems as though I've always been
Somebody outside looking in
Well, here I am for all of them to bleed
But they can't take my heart from me
And they can't bring me to my knees
They'll never know the real me
Melt Away
You come to me with a casual flow
And suddenly, my defences start to go
When you talk to me in that sensual tone
It envelops me and I lose my self control
And baby, I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face, I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Imagining that your taking it slow
And so tenderly
Till the feeling overflows
When you look at me I go soft and cave in
And I can't conceal that I'm slowly weakening
And baby, I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face, I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine
And baby, I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face, I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
And baby, I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face, I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Long Ago
Once upon a time
You whispered softly in my ear
Loving words and fairytales
That I longed to hear
I gave you my body and soul
And you took control
As you slowly swept me up
And carried me away
You told me pretty lies
As I held onto you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Every now and then
I drown in thoughts of yesterday
And the fools' paradise that you blew away
I feel you beside me again
And remember when you came to my window
On a dark and stormy day
Baby, I need you now
Tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
(So long ago)
Baby, I need you now
'Cause tonight I'm crumbling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
The Roof
It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
That warm november night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Verse
And so we finished the Moet and
started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
In your arms
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Bridge
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time
(I go back)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On the roof that rainy night)
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
(When I feel the need)
I envision you caressing me
(I envision you over and over and over again)
And go back in time
(I go back)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
(It was oh so sweet you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On that rainy night)
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
(Last nigth I had the strangest dream...)
I envision you caressing me
(It was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time
(As I whispered...That I loved you)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
(...very subtly)
Chorus
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Do You Know Where You're Going To?
Do You Know Where You're Going To?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Now looking back at all we've had
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to?
Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know?
Never Too far
You're with me 'til the bitter end
What we had transcends this experience
Too painful to talk about
So I'll hold it in 'til my heart can mend and be brave enough to love again
A place in time still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories, there is solace
Oh, never too far away
I won't let time erase one bit of yesterday
'Cause I have learned that nobody can take your place
Though we can never be, I'll keep you close to me
When I remember
Glittering lights, incandescent eyes
Still preserved in my mind
In the memories, I'll find solace
Love, never too far away
I won't let time erase one bit of yesterday
And I have learned that nobody can take your place
Though we can never be, I'll keep you close to me
And I remember
A place in time still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories, there is solace
Love, never too far away
I won't let time erase one bit of yesterday
'Cause I have learned that nobody can take your place
And though we can never be, I'll think of you and me
Always remember
Love, you're never too far
Can't Take That Away
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
They can do anything they want to you
lf you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have, i have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
No oh...
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go
oh....
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach
Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
hey... hey...
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
