We're only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way 
We come unwound 
We'll turn in circles
We're never satisfied
We'll fall from grace
 Forget we can't fly
But through all the tears that we cry
We'll survive

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But when in each other's arms
We become saints and angels

 I love your imperfections
 I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay

Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But when in each other's arms
We become saints and angels

These feet of clay
They will not stray

'Cause when we're torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We're just two tarnished hearts
But when in each other's arms
We become saints and angels

He had strong defenses built, 
His heart to surround
Not for long, when she appeared 
All the walls tumbled down 

She had scars reminding her 
She was easily deceived 
Only tears convinced her 
Once again to believe 

His ego would bend
Learning the art of love 
Her heart soon would mend 
Learning the art of love 

They were two hearts tuned together 
And beating as one 
Ever new, each kiss was like
The very first one 

They explored each landscape 
Of their sweet intimacy
Never bored, love's horizon reached out 
Infinitely 

Both lovers and friends
Learning the art of love 
Homework never ends 
Learning the art of love 

Learning the art of love 
Requires some determination 
You search for the heart of love
In every different situation
You apply the art of love. 
 

Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan 
It's deceiving' cause nothing kills like this metropolis can 
Everywhere there's blind ambition
Dog eat dog and screw you 
You do unto others and they do unto you
Everyday you fight taxicabs and traffic, permanent frowns 
Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds 

Think it's time to make my exit 
Kiss all this goodbye and 
Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life 

Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life 
I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe
I'll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea 
For free 

Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape 
I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape 
Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons 
Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions 

Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life
I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe 
How inviting it would make always killing time if you
Came too 

Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life
We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe 
We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea 
For free
 

Some sprint to snatch the prize but
My goal's the far horizon.
I guess I'm obsessed
With that long slow distance.
The fleet of feet won't please you
All speed, they love and leave you
Not me, as you see
I love long slow distance.

My pulse beats strong and steady
My pace won't stall when I hit the wall
Others fall by the wayside, heat-exhausted
But I'm no coward, I'm solar-powered
As long as I know that you'll be there with me
Face to face when I break the tape
For the kiss when we cross the finish line.

Some play the tempo given
I hear a different rhythm
Do you hear it too?
For the long slow distance.
My stride is smooth and easy
Your touch can always lead me
Off-route in pursuit
Of some long slow distance.

Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still, I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said,
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

No rush though I need your touch
I won't rush your heart
Until you feel on solid ground
Until your strength is found

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Somebody else was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings need time to heal
Before a heart can fly

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true
All I want to do is give the best of me to you
And stand beside you

Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

There will finally come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give everything they've been waiting for.

I'll take you in my arms again.
Feel your skin against my skin.
And let the sheet fall slowly to the floor.
'Til nothing comes between us anymore.

In my soul, I can feel you,
As I cross the Mississippi,
You're the river flowing in me coming home.
I count each heartbeat,
'Til the moment we're together,
And the distance can't be measured.
That's all that keeps me going
When I'm gone.

There will finally come a moment,
When one man, and one woman,
Give everything that they've been waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again.
I'll feel your skin against my skin.
And let the sheet fall slowly to the floor.
'Til nothing comes between us anymore.

Everywhere I go
They're staring at her
Every man I know
He wants to have her
I guess I ought to be
A jealous man

I look the other way
They're hittin' on her
Every night and day
They telephone her
They try to get to her
But I know they can't

Cause she never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talkin'
She starts walkin'
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She walks into the room
And everybody watches every move
Hopin' she don't love me
I know it by the way
They hang around
But they don't realize
There's more to her than what meets the eye
That's why I'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now

She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talkin'
She starts walkin'
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

When they start talkin'
She starts walkin'
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She's like the wind through my tree 
She rides the night next to me 
She leads me through moonlight 
Only to burn me with the sun 
She's taken my heart 
But she doesn't know what she's done 

Feel her breath on my face 
Her body close to me 
Can't look in her eyes 
She's out of my league 
Just a fool to believe 
I have anything she needs 
She's like the wind 

I look in the mirror and all I see 
Is a young old man with only a dream 
Am I just fooling myself 
That she'll stop the pain 
Living without her 
I'd go insane 

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me 
Can't look in her eyes 
She's out of my league 
Just a fool to believe 
I have anything she needs 
She's like the wind 

Remember, when your kite hits the ground
And your smile turns upside down
It's only going on inside you
Whenever the libretto won't do
And all the notes become too blue
Remember there's a song inside you

Cara mia, if you're ever lost at sea
Just call on me
You always have my love to guide you
When you give more than you're gettin'
When the tempest starts to threaten
You always have my love to hide you
You always have my love inside you

Whenever you are feeling some curse
And you get locked into reserve
Then just send up a flare and I'll find you
Or anytime your engine won't start
From running on a broken heart
Remember that the past is behind you

Cara mia, if you're ever lost at sea
Just call on me
You always have my love to guide you
When you give more than you're gettin'
When the tempest starts to threaten
You always have my love to hide you

The look of love 
Is in your eyes.
A look your smile 
Can't disguise. 
The look of love, 
It's saying so much more than 
These words could ever say. 
And when my heart has hurt, 
Well, it takes my breath away.

I can hardly wait to hold you, 
Feel my arms around you. 
How long I have waited, 
Waited just to love you, 
Now that I have found you. 

You've got that look of love. 
It's on your face. 
The look that time can't erase. 
You're mine tonight. 
Let this be just the start of 
So many nights like this. 
Let's take what lover's found 
And then seal it with a kiss. 

I can hardly wait to hold you, 
Feel my arms around you. 
How long I have waited, 
Waited just to love you, 
Now that I have found you, 
Don't ever go. 
Don't ever go. 
I love you so. 

Met you in a café 
At a table meant for two 
You were sitting by your lonesome 
When I sat down with you
Tried hard not to show it 
But I couldn’t help but see 
That you wore your broken heart 
out on your sleeve 
And your loneliness could not disguise 
Your beauty and your charm

Thought if I ever get you,
shattered lady, in my arms 
I’m gonna rock you baby to sleep 
I’m gonna make you crazy over me 
I’m gonna hold you like you’ve 
never been held before 
And love you till you tell me
you can’t love anymore 
I’m gonna shake your emotion 
right down to your soul
And then I’m gonna love you 
all over again and out of control 
If this is how love is supposed to feel 
Baby I know I’ve fallen head over heels 
I’m gonna rock you baby 

Over open conversation
and a bottle of red wine
You said this world is full of users 
and I know that I’ve had mine 
We danced a little slow dance 
until they closed that café down 
You said ‘what would be the chances
that tonight I finally found
Someone who makes me feel 
like my life is just begun?’
I said ‘girl believe in me 
and I’ll show you how it’s done’ 
.

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow more beautiful in my eyes.

When there are lines upon my face that form a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

Over and over again 
I tried to tell myself that we 
Could never be more than friends 
And all the while inside 
I knew it was real 
The way you make me feel 

Lying here next to you 
Time just seems to fly 
Needing you more and more 
Let's give love a try

Sweeter and sweeter love grows 
And Heaven's there for those 
Who fooled the tricks of time 
With the hearts of love they find 
True love in a special way 

The closer I get to you 
The feeling comes over me 
Pulling closer sweet as the gravity

I've got you under my skin. 
I've got you deep in the heart of me. 
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me. 
I've got you under my skin. 
I'd tried so not to give in. 
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well. 
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well 
I've got you under my skin? 

I'd sacrifice anything come what might 
For the sake of havin' you near 
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night 
And repeats, repeats in my ear: 
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? 
Use your mentality, wake up to reality. 
But each time that I do just the thought of you 
Makes me stop before I begin 
'Cause I've got you under my skin. 

I would sacrifice anything come what might 
For the sake of havin' you near 
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night 
And repeats - how it yells in my ear: 
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? 
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality? 
But each time I do just the thought of you 
Makes me stop just before I begin 
'Cause I've got you under my skin. 
Yes, I've got you under my skin. 

You bring the sun out
To warm my life up
To make my love grow everyday

You bring the stars out
To light the night up
To make the darkness go away

I reach to you
You reach to me
No matter where I go 
I know you'll always be
Never to far
Far from my heart
I'll always have you here
I always know you're near 

You bring the sun out
To warm my life up
To make my love grow everyday

You bring the stars out
To light the night up
To make the darkness go away

What I'm looking for
Is a love that's forever
Someone who can capture my soul in a heartbeat
And stay for all time

What I'm praying for
Is a match made in heaven
Someone who will worship my body
And still put his heart on the line

Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
And who will make me go weak in the knees

Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playing for keeps

What I'm searching for
Is a man who'll stand by me
Who will walk through the fire
And be my flame in the night

I won't settle for
Less than what I deserve
A friend and a lover who'll love me
For the rest of my life

Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
And who will make me go weak in the knees

Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playing for keeps

I've had promises broken
Three words left unspoken
They just left me aching for more
But I've found temptation
I won't be impatient
There's one thing that's worth waiting for

Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playing for keeps

  Completely, want to give my love completely
  I'd rather be alone than be in love just half the way
  I want to find someone that I can trust
  Completely, want to give my heart completely
  To someone who'll completely give their heart to only me
  And when I find that one
  That's when I'll fall in love

  Completely
  Not half but whole
  With heart and soul
  Completely
  Not in between
  But everything
  Completely
  That's the way it's got to be
  The way I want someone to fall in love with me

  Forever, want to feel the word forever
  And know there'll be somebody there forever by my side
  And when that feeling comes
  That's when I'll give my love
Completely

   It's all or nothing at all for this heart of mine
  And I won't give up this heart till the day I find
  Someone who needs me
  Completely
  The way I need someone to fall in love with me

  If I had to paint a picture 
  To show the world how love can really be 
 I would use the brightest colours 
       To create a vision of harmony 
 It would be a reality 
     'Cause it's only what's inside my heart 

You would see I've always loved you
Right from the very start 

  Tell me, what is the colour of love? 
What do you see? 
Is it warm, is it tender, when you think of me 
  I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you 
 As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

   The colours of the rainbow turn grey 
whenever you're so far away 
 It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colours of emotion 
Reflecting what I feel deep inside 
 Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide 

Tell me what is the colour of love? 
What do you see?
 Is it warm, is it tender, when you thing of me 
 I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you 
 As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

 And though many may try to keep us apart 
 The colours that I see in you
will shine a light to see us through 
  No matter what the world will do I'll always love you 

      Oh what is the colour of love

It was no accident me finding you.
Someone had a hand in it,
Long before we ever knew.

Now I just can't believe you're in my life.
Heaven's smiling down on me,
As I look at you tonight.

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars.
He sure knew what he was doing,
When he joined these two hearts.

I hold everything,
When I hold you in my arms.
I've got all I'll ever need,
Thanks to the keeper of the stars.

Soft moonlight on your face,
Oh how you shine.
It takes my breath away,
Just to look into your eyes.

I know I don't deserve a treasure like you.
There really are no words,
To show my gratitude.

So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars.
He sure knew what he was doing,
When he joined these two hearts.

I hold everything,
When I hold you in my arms.
I've got all I'll ever need,
Thanks to the keeper of the stars.

It was no accident me finding you.
Someone had a hand in it,
Long before we ever knew.

Things are too simple, things are too hard
Nobody's happy with the way things are
Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan
Got to rent 'cause you might not be here long enough to own
The way I see it the trouble with the world these days
It's getting way to easy just to drive away

With you and me baby, it's up and down
We're moving the earth or we're on shaky ground
We talk about forever when it's all going smooth
 Or moving out tomorrow if things don't improve
Well the way I see it, the trouble with love these days
It's getting way to easy just to drive away

And you can drive away
If you've got half a mind to and half a tank you can drive away
First sign of trouble, first little thing goes wrong
You can climb in your car and drive 'til you're gone

Whatever we've got it's worth the risk
To read a little promise into every kiss
You pay for the music, but you do get to dance
When you love somebody it's not that big a chance
The way I see it we've got every reason to stay
And every  reason to go together if we drive away

And we can drive away
If we need to start again, that's OK 
We can drive away
Till we find that place where we can live on faith
That we'll never again have to drive away

It's amazing how you can 
speak right to my heart
Without saying a word 
you can light up the dark
Try as I may 
I could never explain
what I hear 
when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face 
lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes 
sayin' you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand 
says you'll catch me
if ever I fall
You say it best 
when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear 
people talking out loud
But when you hold me near 
you drown out the crowd

Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between 
your heart and mine

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies, my love
To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
 That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time, my love
And would last 'till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies 

We sit alone in the darkest corner
Waitress comes and takes our order
And she looks at us so suspiciously
It's plain to see that we're lovers
Tryin' to be alone with each other
It's so hard for us to break free
She whispers softly I love you
This isn't your average rendezvous

'Cause I'm in love with a married woman
I don't care who knows it
I'm in love with a married woman
On her left hand there's a wedding band
That she wears faithfully
And I thank God she's married to me

No cheap hotel where we'll check-in
No other lives we'll be wrecking
With alibis to hide a cheater's kiss
'Cause if there's lipstick on my collar
You can bet your bottom dollar
It's the color she wears on nights like this
Every Friday here at five
I try to keep the fire alive

'Cause I'm in love with a married woman
I don't care who knows it
I'm in love with a married woman
On her left hand there's a wedding band
That she wears faithfully
And I thank God she's married to me

Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above

Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me
Like a candle in my night
Burn

Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and tough God’s face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel under grace?

I’ll lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night

Laugh for me, cry for me
Pray for me, fly for me
Live for me, 
Die for us

I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Burn
 

Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Living on love

She doesn't care about what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing's worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinking
But love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Living on love

Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Living on love
He can't see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Living on love

Living on love, buying on time
Without somebody nothing's worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Living on love
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinking
But love can walk through fire without blinking
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Living on love
No it doesn't take much when you get enough
Living on love

There ain't no melody
And I can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know I would have played it

Well, I'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That I'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know I would have found it

There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that I feel

Painters use their eyes
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries
We all see it differently

There ain't no black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know I would have found it

No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel

Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

I didn't see the light
I didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
But since you came along
I can face the dawn
Cause I know you'll be there

I'll never worry
If it's raining outside
Cause in here with you
The sun always shines

Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day
A good morning beautiful day
 

I got a funny feeling 
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me 
My heart skipped a beat in time 
There's a different feel about you tonight 
It's got me thinking lots of crazy things 
I even think I saw a flash of light 
It felt like electricity 

You shouldn't kiss me like this 
Unless you mean it like that
‘Cause I'll just close my eyes 
And I won't know where I'm at 
We'll get lost on this dance floor 
Spinning around 
And around, and around, and around 

They're all watching us now 
They think we're fallin' in love 
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this 
I think you mean it like that 
And if you do, baby, kiss me again 

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair 
But dancing is as far as it goes
Babe, you've never moved me
Quite the way you move me tonight 
I just wanted you to know 
So kiss me again

Got to keep walking to someone I love
This empty heart's in jeopardy
Living without you
It seems I keep falling for someone somewhere
One single hope someone real
Keeps me hanging on

Now I really don't mind that it's been so long
If somewhere in this world you exist
And it really won't seem like it's been so sad
Just as long as I know I've been missed

Time is on my side
'Cause somehow I know you're there
I'm talking about someone like you
I love you in my loneliness
And it keeps me walking on

I've got to keep walking to someone I love
My faith in your reality keeps me hanging on
 

It's that feeling that someone is standing behind me
But I turn around and there's no one there
It's the sensation that someone just whispered
And I still hear your voice 
But you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host

I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched with your love 
That no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you I can still feel you, 
Oh I can still feel you

You said you'd love me forever
Then you said it's over
And left me without the missing link
I thought I'd forget you
But I guess I forgot to
And lately I've been too confused to think
When I reach for someone new
It's like I'm touching you

I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched with your love
That no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, 
Oh I can still feel you

In everything that moves
In everything I do

I can hear her heart beat for one thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I run into her like a river's song

She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love 

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief 

Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight 

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul 
 

When you light those candles 
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood 
Well, I just lie there staring 
Silently preparing to love on you 
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room 
Ain’t it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do 

  I melt every time you look at me that way 
It never fails, anytime, any place 
This burn in me is the coolest thing I’ve ever felt 
I melt 

Don’t know how you do it 
I love the way I lose it, every time 
What’s even better 
 Is knowing that forever you’re all mine 
The closer you get, the more my body aches 
One little stare from you is all it takes 

        Every time you look at me that way 
I melt, I melt 

Talk to me baby, I want to sleep at night.
My heart is heavy, it's weighed down by the night.
And now I'm lonely, I want to see the light
So deep within you.

Cool wind is blowing through your crazy hair.
Warm colours flowing, this feeling we have shared.
And now I'm lonely I want to feel the love
So deep within you.

Your love's a never ending dream,
A castle by a stream of sweet understanding.
I know you're thinking of me too, the messages
From you are my inspiration.

Love's incense lingers, it never fades away.
Like you I'm waiting for our special day.
And now I'm lonely I want to feel the love
So deep within you

My love is burning, like a forest fire.
My heart is yearning, I feel a warm desire.
And now I'm lonely I want to tough the fire
 So deep within you.

Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight

Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta' let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love

Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand

And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free

Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in, no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love

When I was a boy of twenty-two
     I stood before a statue
     Was it you?
     They shake the fruit when they dance
     You should try some when you have the chance.

Her face had no power to deceive
     She wore her beauty shamelessly
     Like Eve.
     Guavas can be bittersweet
     But the mango's always good to eat,
     Love has complicated my past.
     God nows I left no stone unturned.

Now I realize that at last
     I've found her again.
She understands how the blue water behaves.
     Mother-of-pearl is the woman in the waves.
     My eyes could travel her beauty for always.
     Gold of the sun is the woman in the waves.

I know that my life has led me here
     To where the dolphin jumps
     And the sky is clear.
     Here we live without locked doors
     Share and share alike- what's mine is yours.

I see invitation in your smile
     To celebrate our passions
     Without guile.
     In the noa noa night
     Nave nave's a familiar sight.
     I am avare of her fragrance
     Even when she disappears

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flames
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you got to be tough
When consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough
just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never taint the foe

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

There's some help and some giving,
walking a wire,
Since it's not living 
if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried,
It is merely survived
Just standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning,
deep in my soul
Causing the yearning 
to get out of control
Wanting to fly,
higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire.

Standing outside the fire,
Standing outside the fire,
Life is not tried,
It's merely survived,
Just standing outside the fire
 

I just found this old picture in my wallet
Of you and me, down in Mexico
Just look at us there on that beach, on that blanket
That look on our face says all that you need to know

Seems like everywhere we go baby, love goes
Everywhere, everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

Sometimes I dream, we're alone on an island
Nowhere to go, we don't want to leave
All we have is a world full of time
We spend it all on you and me
It's all we need

Seems like everywhere we go baby, love goes
Everywhere, everytime our hearts meet, love is all around us
Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I'm so alive when I'm near you
This fire in my heart lights my world when I'm with you

Every road we take, darlin love takes
Every turn, livin' right inside us
I believe love goes
Everywhere we go

I believe love goes, everywhere we go
Everywhere we go

When I hear you stop and laugh out loud
When you're falling fast asleep
When you're in the middle of a crowd
When you're lying close to me
When I hear you softly say my name
When you're high and when you're low
When you don't need me to explain
'Cause you already know
When you smile that way
I know, every night and day

That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

When you're driving in your car
When you dance and sing to the radio
When you're walking underneath the stars
Anywhere and everywhere you go
When you're dressed up or you're dressed down
When you're talking on the phone
With a million people all around
Or when you're all alone
When you're near, or you're far
You're in my heart no matter where you are

That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

 When you smile that way
I know, every night and day
That's when I love you, when I need you
    When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

In your arms 
I can still feel the way you want me 
when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there's no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there's no way--
and there's no how
I'll never see that day....

'Cause I'm keeping you
 forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning 
to your sweet face--always

In your heart I can still hear a beat
for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there's no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there's no way--
and there's no how
I'll never see that day....

I wanna wake up every morning

In your eyes--
I can still see the look of the one 
who wouldn't put anything else 
in the world above me
I can still see love for me in your eyes

And there's no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there's no way--
and there's no how
I'll never see that day....

I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms

We go out to a party somewhere
  The moment we walk in the door, 
  People stop and everybody stares,
  She don't know what they're staring for

    She don't know she's beautiful
  (Never crossed her mind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (No she's not that kind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (though time and time i've told her so)

  There she goes just walkin down the street,
  And someone lets a whistle out.
  A girl like her, she just can't see, 
  What the fuss is all about.

    And she don't know she's beautiful
  (Never crossed her mind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (No she's not that kind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (though time and time i've told her so)

  Mornin' comes and her hair's all a mess,
  That's when she thinks she looks the worst.
  It's times like this she don't know why,
  I can't take my eyes off her.

    She don't know she's beautiful
  (Never crossed her mind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (No she's not that kind)
  She don't know she's beautiful
  (though time and time i've told her so)

  Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
  Is almost more than I can take
 Baby when you touch me
  I can feel how much you love me
  And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
 I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

     I don't know how you do what you do
   I'm so in love with you
  It just keeps getting better
 I wanna spend the rest of my life
 With you by my side
 Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
  Baby I'm amazed by you

 The smell of your skin
  The taste of your kiss
 The way you whisper in the dark
       Your hair all around me
 Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
     Oh it feels like the first time every time
 I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

  I don't know how you do what you do
   I'm so in love with you
 It just keeps getting better
   I wanna spend the rest of my life
  With you by my side
 Forever and ever
 Every little thing that you do
   Baby I'm amazed by you

        Every little thing that you do
   I'm so in love with you
      It just keeps getting better
    I wanna spend the rest of my life
  With you by my side
 Forever and ever
    Every little thing that you do
      Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

 Don't turn out the light
 I want to see you look at me
 Whisper only truth tonight
 Not just promises and empty fantasies

 I don't need a bed of roses
 'Cause roses wither away
 All I really need is honesty
 From someone with a strong heart
 A gentle hand
 Who'll take me as I am

 I need for you to know
 Just exactly how I feel
 Fiery passions come and go
 I'd trade a million pretty words
 For one touch that is real

 I don't need a bed of roses
 'Cause roses wither away
 All I really need is honesty
 From someone with a strong heart
 A gentle hand
 Who'll take me as I am
 

They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your Prince Charming
Would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
You never will forget
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet
All this time that you've been waiting
You don't have to wait no more

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

I never make a promise I don't intend to keep
So when I say forever, forever's what I mean
I'm no Casanova but I swear this much is true
I'll be holdin' nothin' back when it comes to you
You dream of love that's everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that

You want tenderness-I got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man who understands
You don't have to look very far

I can love you
I can
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
I can love you like that

Darling, if you think back
To the heartbroken past
Before we found each other...
It's so amazing, it's almost crazy
What a difference looking through the eyes of love

Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord's smiling on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good

People stop me on the street, 
Thinking I'm the old me
Talking about the bad old days
But ever since you came along
Those old blues are long gone
I break into a grin and all I can say is

Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord's smiling on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good

Someday girl, this old world 
Will try to beat you up
Let 'em bring it on, 
'Cause everytime we touch

Life is good, the grass is green
The good Lord's smiling on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look
You love me like no one could
Life is good

Day one, I stumbled through hello on 5th Ave
Day two, we grabbed a bite to eat 
And talked all afternoon
Caught a movie on day fourteen
And day sixty-seven she said, "I love you" to me

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
We had our ups and downs 
All along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Day one-sixteen, I asked her what she was doing 
For the rest of my life
Day one eighty- nine, oh I almost lost that girl
To my foolish pride
She said, "I do" 
On day four eighty-two
And gave me a son
On day seven sixty-one

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh, we had our ups and downs 
All along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day

Day eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty-three
Well, honey that's fifty years
And here's to you and me!

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh, we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave
But chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Day one
I thank God I said hello on 5th Ave

I've seen the seven wonders of the world
 I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
 But they aren't anything, baby,
 Your love amazes me

 I've seen a sunset that would make you cry
 And colors of a rainbow reaching cross the sky
 The moon in all its phases, 
But your love amazes me

 Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
 You're the only one for me
 You give me hope, you give me reason
 You give me something to believe in
 Forever faithfully
 Your love amazes me

 I've prayed for miracles that never came
 Got down on my knees out in the pouring rain
 But only you could save me,
 Your love amazes me

You, you've made no mistake
You take everything I ever wanted into account
When you walk into the room
You give me, reason
Talk in turn, never too late or too soon.

You are, poetry in motion
You inspire, power and devotion
You are, turning all the tide under me
You are, the potential in me

You are...

You are, the first one that I wish to tell 
Everything that matters
Matters because you reflect it back so well

You are, poetry in motion
You inspire, power and devotion
You are, turning all the tide underneath
You are, the potential in me

You are my strongest link
You are, everything I wanted to be

You are, poetry in motion 
You inspire, power and devotion
You are, turning all the tide underneath

You are, poetry in motion
You inspire, power and devotion
You are, turning all the tide underneath
You are, you are, the potential in me

 You inspire power and devotion
You are, sensual
You touch my hand

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry!
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic 

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day has... come

Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength

Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
 I've been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

A new day ... has come
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

How do I love you
Well let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you
How do I need you
 Can't you tell
I need you like a penny
Needs a wishing well
Baby, completely
  Wrapped up in you

Every now and then
When the world 
That we're living in is crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world has ever done 
What you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you

   Well how do I love you
Let me count the ways
There's no number high enough
To end this phrase
 Baby, completely 
Wrapped up in you

Every now and then
When the world 
That were living in is crazy
You gladly hold me and carry me through
No one in the world has ever done 
What you did for me
And I'd be sad and lonely
If there were no you

How do I love you
Well don't you know
I love you about as deep
As any love can grow
Baby, completely
Wrapped up in you

Baby, completely
  Wrapped up in you
 

How I ever lived and breathed 
before you loved me, 
I don't recall
If I walked around at all,
it was in bits and pieces 
of a jagged heart

You kissed me and every piece 
went back in place
Every pain got erased
You held me up to the light

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost
Spent years in the dark

You're here
Now my heart's unbroken
When I see your smile fill my soul again,
I'm unbroken

If I doubted the power of love,
now I understand
I thank God for every day
I wake up to the soft touch
of your magic hands

In this world 
Sometimes the only thing that's real
is the way you make me feel
Babe, the changes day and night,
I swear it's life

No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And I never got lost, 
spent years in the dark
But you're here, 
Now my heart's unbroken

When I see your smile 
fill my soul again,
I'm unbroken
I still see the night I fell into your eyes
And when we made love
it felt like the first time
I'm unbroken

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold onto your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my 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 I am your lady
And you are my 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
Of 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 I am your lady
And you are my 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
Of the power of love

It ticks just like a Timex
It never lets up on you 
Who said life was easy
The job is never through
It'll run us 'til we're ragged
It'll harden our hearts
And love could use a day of rest
Before we both start falling apart

Pray that it's raining on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday
Can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we could do
When it's raining on Sunday

Your love is like religion
A cross in Mexico
And your kiss is like the innocence 
Of a prayer nailed to a door
Oh surrender is much sweeter
When we both let it go
Let the water wash our bodies clean
And love wash our souls

Pray that it's raining on Sunday
Stormin' like crazy
We'll hide under the covers all afternoon
Baby whatever comes Monday
Can take care of itself
'Cause we got better things that we could do
When it's raining on Sunday

She's my kind of rain, like love in a drunken sky.
She's confetti falling down all night.
She sits quietly there, like water in a jar.
Says, "Baby why are you trembling like you are?"
So I wait, and I try.
And I confess like a child.

She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.

She's the sun set shadows, she's like Rembrandt's light.
She's the history that's made at night.
She's my lost companion, she's my dreaming tree.
Together in this brief eternity.
Summer days, winter snows.
She's all things to behold.

She's my kind of rain.
Like love from a drunken sky.
Confetti falling down all night.
She's my kind of rain.
 

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
but your love was the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel
you make me feel
you make me feel
like a natural woman

And when my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
till your kiss helped me name it

Now I'm no longer doubtful
of what I'm living for
cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel
you make me feel
you make me feel
like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me 
(what you've done to me)
you make me feel so good inside (good inside)
and I just wanna be (wanna be)
close to you 
you make me feel so alive

You make me feel
you make me feel
you make me feel
like a natural, natural woman

 I can feel the magic floating in the air
 Being with you gets me that way
 I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away
   All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
  The whole world just fades away
  The only thing I hear
  Is the beating of your heart

  Cause I can feel you breathe
  It's washing over me
  And suddenly I'm melting into you
 There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Isn't that the way love's suppose to be?
    I can feel you breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up
 As all the walls come tumbling down
 Closer than I've ever felt before
 And I know, and you know
    There's no need for words right now

    I can feel the magic floating in the air
 Being with you gets me that way...

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight

I wanna know you, like I know myself
I'm waiting for you, theres no one else
I wanna know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep, I wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mine
You know there's no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you every prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
These are the things I wanna know

I wanna dig down deep, I wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mine
You know there's no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

I wanna know your soul, I wanna lose control
Come on and let it out, I wanna know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep, I wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent

What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
 

When I say goodbye it is never for long
‘Cause I know our love still lives on
It will be again exactly like it was
‘Cause I believe in the power of love

When you’re close I can feel the power
When it’s love I can always tell
Love for me is the best thing now
It’s something that I know so well

Hold me closer and every minute
Of every hour, feel the power of love
Hold me tighter and take me higher
And feel the fire of the power of love

Did you know that your feelings show
You thought your love was locked up inside
But when your senses start to overload
Love is something you should never hide

You’ve got to believe in love
It’s a feeling that’s next to none
Can’t stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone to try
I promise you’ll reach the sky
One thing that we can’t deny
Is the power of love

So close your eyes and you can feel it
Comin’ straight from above, it’s the power of love
You can’t deny it, so don’t even try it
Let the feelin’ sweep you off your feet

You’ve got to believe in love
It’s a feeling that’s next to none
Can’t stop until we are one
With the power of love

Tell everyone you see
How much better the world could be
For them and for you, for me
With the power of love

So listen up and you will hear it
A symphony from above, it’s the power of love
So glad we’ve found it, now there’s no way around it
Just let the feeling sweep you off your feet

When we walk down the street
We don’t care who we see or who we meet
Don’t need to run, don’t need to hide
‘Cause we’ve got something burning inside

We’ve got love, love power
It’s the greatest power of them all
We’ve got love, love power
And together we can’t fall
 

Had a nice little life
A little boat, a little beach
  A little routine I liked
A blue ocean view
Free to go with the flow
Anywhere that I wanted to 
But the moment you set foot on my shore
That's when I knew

 There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
 Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

 'Til you smiled with me
  Thought that I had it good
As good as it could be
From the back of my deck
Caught a fish, caught a breeze
And a thousand red sunsets
But sitting here with you
I just saw the best one yet

There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

My days are brighter
My sky a deeper blue
My nights are sweeter
When I'm with you

There's a difference in
Living and living well
You can't have it all
All by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well
.

You're throwin' around a lot of serious accusations
It's not too hard to tell what you're insinuating
You think I'm the one who stole her away
If not for me she'd still be yours today
We're both men here so why play games
Why don't we call a spade a spade

Man to man
Tell me the truth, tell me
Were you ever there when she needed you
Man to man
Look me in the eye, tell me
If you really loved her
Why'd you make her cry

Man to man
Who cheated who
You're the one to blame
Tell me it ain't true
Man to man
Man to man

Well you think all your anger is justified
Me, I think, it's just your wounded pride
What did you really think she was gonna do
She's a real woman, not a doormat for you
You want her back, but it's too late
Why don't we just cut to the chase

Man to man
Tell me the truth, tell me
Were you ever there when she needed you
Man to man
Look me in the eye, tell me
If you really loved her
Why'd you make her cry

Man to man
Who cheated who
You're the one to blame
Tell me it ain't true
 Man to man
Man to man

She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through

She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowning

She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now

She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
It's too late and that's too bad

He said: "Just think it over, and write me a list,
so we can figure out what we both deserve."
She hardly could believe it, 
Their love had come to this
Dividing and deciding his and hers.
But she grabbed a paper napkin, 
and asked the waitress for a pen.
One by one, she wrote down
what she wanted most from him:

"Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust.
A little less time for the rest of the world,
and more for the two of us.
Kisses each morning,
'I love you's' at night,
Just like it used to be.
The way life was when you were in love with me."

She reached across the table and placed it in his hand 
and said, "You know this isn't easy for me,"
As he thought about the new car, the house, and the land,
And wondered what the bottom line would be
And a thousand other things that she'd want him to leave behind,
But he never dreamed he'd open up that napkin and find:

"Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust.
A little less time for the rest of the world,
And more for the two of us.
Kisses each morning, 'I love you's' at night,
Just like it used to be.
The way life was when you were in love with me."

Well, he fought back the tears as he looked in her eyes,
And said: "I don't know where to start."
And she said: "Everything on that list in your hand,
Is hidden somewhere in your heart.
Honesty, sincerity, just like it used to be.
The way life was when you were in love with me."

I know there are times
You've been tormented by the questions in your mind
Will our love last
Or simply fade away as time begins to pass
You're a complicated lady that's for sure
With a need for someone unafraid to make you feel secure
And if you wonder if I'm strong enough to be your man
Yes,I am
Yes,I am

Don't let yourself imagine it's a lie
I'm not the kind to turn and say goodbye
And though you test my soul
And make yourself so hard to hold
I'm gonna make you understand
I'm strong enough to be your man

Do you believe
When I look in your eyes and swear
I'll never leave
What will it take
To make you know that what we have is here to stay
Yes, I know that you've been loved and left before
But I promise you won't ever see me walking out the door
And if you wonder if I'm strong enough to your man
Yes,I am
Yes,I am

Would you dance if I asked you to dance 
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying 
Would you save my soul tonight 

Would you tremble if I touched your lips 
Would you laugh oh please tell me this 
Now would you die for the one you love 
Hold me in your arms tonight 

I can be your hero baby 
I can kiss away the pain 
I will stand by you forever 
You can take my breath away 

Would you swear that you'll always be mine 
Would you lie would you remember
My angel have I lost my mind 
I don't care you're here tonight

I can be your hero baby 
I can kiss away the pain 
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I just wanna hold you
My angel have I lost my mind
I don't care your here tonight 

I can be your hero baby 
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever 
You can take my breath away

She says don't stare at me
She's afraid that I might see 
Those 5 extra pounds she talks about 
I don't know what she's talking about 

She looks through magazines
With every page she dreams of 
Looking like somebody else 
I wish she wasn't so hard on herself 

Then she falls asleep with just my t-shirt on 
But even when her hair's messed up
and her make-up's gone 
You can't hide Beautiful 

You can't hide wonderful 
There's nothing that she has to do 
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy 
I love what she does to me 
No way to disguise 
The way that she shines 
You can't hide beautiful 

She can take a simple dress 
Put it on and turn some heads 
Everytime she moves she gets me 
She doesn't even know she's sexy

And the way she thinks sometimes 
Out of nowhere blows my mind 
She makes me laugh and makes me dream 
I love the way she looks at things 

A little piece of heaven God gave to this world 
She might think she's just an ordinary girl 

Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last

Now you don't believe
Love is ever true 
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river will run dry

For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound

I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby 
Should you ever fall

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river will run dry

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
Its the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring, becomes a rose

I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice
that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow 
where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you
like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust 
making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention 
like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out
in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world 
better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you 
like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust 
making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you 
from now on
This you'll know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits 
but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you 
with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you 
like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust 
making memories of us

Every long lost dream 
Led me to where you are 
Others who broke my heart 
They were like northern stars 
Pointing me on my way 
Into your loving arms 
This much I know is true 
That God blessed the broken road 
That led me straight to you 

I think about the years I spent 
Just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost 
And give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand 
You've been there you understand 
It's all part of a grander plan 
That is coming true 

Every long lost dream
Led me to where you are 
Others who broke my heart 
They were like northern stars 
Pointing me on my way 
Into your loving arms 
This much I know is true 
That God blessed the broken road 
That led me straight to you 

Now I’m just rolling home 
Into my lover's arms 
This much I know is true 
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you 

Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day 
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills 
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills 
In colors on the snowy linen land 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity 
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen 
They did not know how, 
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry starry night, 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze 
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, 
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain 
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand 

For they could not love you, 
But still your love was true 
And when no hope was left in sight, 
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do,
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night, 
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls 
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met, 
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose, 
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity 
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen 
They're not listening still 
Perhaps they never will. 

I gotta' keep walking to someone I love
This empty heart's in jeopardy
Living without you
It seems I keep falling for someone somewhere
One single hope someone real
Keeps me hangin' on

Now I really don't mind that its been so long
If somewhere in this world you exist
And it really won't seem like its been so sad
Just as long as I know Ive been missed

Time is on my side
'Cause somehow I know you're there
Baby I'm talking about someone like you
I love you in my loneliness
And it keeps me walking on

Ive gotta' keep walking to someone I love
My faith in your reality keeps me hangin on

Green Eyed Lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun

Green eyed lady ocean lady
Soothing every wave that comes

Green eyed lady, passion's lady
dressed in love she lives for life to be

Green eyed lady feels like I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free

Green eyed lady, windswept lady
moves the night, the waves, the sand

Green eyed lady ocean lady
child of nature, friend of man

Green eyed lady passions lady
dressed in love she lives for life to be

Green eyed lady feels like I never see
Setting sons and lonely lovers free
 

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush 

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love 

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide 

One more Moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can I just have one more dance with you my love 
 

When darkness falls upon your heart and soul
I'll be the light that shines for you
 When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you
When you can't find your way
 I'll find my way to you
When troubles come around
 I will come to you

 I'll be your shoulder
When you need someone to lean on
Be your shelter
 When you need someone to see you through
 I'll be there to carry you
 I'll be there

I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
The one that will hold on to you
   When you feel that rain falling down
  When there's nobody else around
  I'll be.

And when you're there
With no one there to hold
I'll be the arms that reach for you
And when you feel your faith is running low
I'll be there to believe in you
When all you find are lies
I'll be the truth you need
 When you need someone to run to
 You can run to me

 I'll be your shoulder 
When you need someone to lean on
 Be your shelter
When you need someone to see you through
I'll be there to carry you
I'll be there
