A Long, Long Time
Yes I think I've found a way
Guess you’ve wondered why
it's taken all these years
For me to know my fears
Yet it seems like no big deal
Let me know
that you still feel the way I do
And I will give to you
All the things you've hungered for
will that do
Cause it's been a long long time
without you
Time it seems to move so slow
I'm the only one who knows
just what to say
To brighten up your day
Now the years have been so kind
How I'll get you off my mind
I'll never know
I guess I'll have to show
All the things you want from me
this I'll do
And I'll spend a long long time
loving you
Yes I'll spend a long long time
loving you

Special To Me
I'll love you till the end
But I'll only be your friend mmm
You'll always make me smile
To have your attention
for just a little while
You see I know I can't have you
But if you're happy I won't be blue
Cause you've always been special to me
And that's the way it always will be
I can't take you down and hold you tight
Cause you’ve got someone else
to love tonight mmm
I can't fall in love with you anyway
Cause you've got another
another lover today
So I'll just listen to you play
And let the beauty sail me away
Cause you've always been special to me
And that's the way it always will be
You know it's hard to say
what's going on inside my head
But there are certain feelings I feel
I feel are better to be left unsaid
Though I could love you
all through the night
I'll settle for your presence
in the daylight mmm
I guess I’ll have to do what I should
Falling in love with you
would do me no good
So please be my friend
And love me to the end
Cause you'll always be a friend to me
And that's the way it always should be
Always will be special to me

Dancing before me

Give me love like I never had
And I sure like what you’re doing
doing to me
So keep it up don’t ever stop
You know my motor’s running hot
And when you give me what you’ve got
Drives me wild
I hope to see you
when the moon and stars come out
I’m gonna show you

Take my time love you slow
And when I’ll stop girl I don’t know
Cause I sure like what you’re doing

Your Touch
This feeling is incredible
it chills me to the bone
The thought of being with you
at night and all alone
And when we walk together
the tenderness of your hand
So soft upon me I’m here at your command
And I need your touch I need it so much
My feelings are such
that I need your touch so much
The touch of your fingers
drives my body insane
But the touch of your heart dear
has helped me to love again
I’ve never known such passion
as the sweet taste of your lips
The way my body quivers
from the love in your fingertips
And I need your touch I need it so much
My feelings are such
that I need your touch so much
I’ve never known such passion
as the sweet taste of your lips
The way my body quivers
from the love in your fingertips
And I need your touch I need it so much
My feelings are such
that I need your touch so much

The Look In Your Eyes
There are many ways to understand
most things in this world
There are many ways to comprehend
the truth
There are many ways and this I realize
But there’s only one way to read
the look in your eyes
There are many times I’ve wanted to
just be by your side
There are many times I’ve wanted to
be free
There are many times I’ve lived
through the lies
But there’s only one way to read
the look in your eyes
They say the eyes are the windows
to the soul
An honest way to read
what’s on your mind
And with you I see a future
you and me
A more satisfying love I’d never find
There are many days it’s hard to keep
from breaking down
There are many days it’s hard to carry on
There are many days ahead
of sweet surprise
Cause there’s only one way to read
the look in your eyes
Yes there’s only one way to read
the look in your eyes

Jealousy
Once I was alone
lonely through the night
But then you came along and
showed me what was right
I know I have your love and
I know your love is true
But still I have these feelings
when I am without you
Girl I know my jealousy
isn’t fair to you
You’ve never given reason
to doubt the things you do
But still I cannot help myself
I go out of my mind
Forgive me love and help me to
put jealousy behind
I guess I still remember
a love so long ago
She held me close and promised
that she would never go
But then one night it happened
it took me by surprise
She broke my heart and spirit
but she opened up my eyes
Girl I know my jealousy
isn’t fair to you
You’ve never given reason
to doubt the things you do
But still I cannot help myself
I go out of my mind
Forgive me love and help me to
put jealousy behind
You know I hate this feeling
But girl what can I say
I cannot lie but I can’t deny
The times I feel this way
I know you can’t understand
even if you try
You think that I don’t trust you
I can see it in your eyes
But please don’t ever tell me
cause I don’t want to know
Just try to help me through it
or tell me I should go
Girl I know my jealousy
isn’t fair to you
You’ve never given reason
to doubt the things you do
But still I cannot help myself
I go out of my mind
Forgive me love and help me to
put jealousy behind

But You
Tell me who can I turn to
When I can’t turn to you
Tell me who can I lean on
When you won’t let me lean on you
There’s no one else
in the world who cares
No one else makes me
stop and stare but you
Tell me who can I talk to
When I can’t talk to you
Tell me who can I live for
When I can’t even live for you
There’s no one else
in the world who knows
No one else and I know
that it shows but you
Let’s stop this fighting
It’s breaking my heart
No more lying
Let’s make a new start but you
Tell me who would I die for
If I wouldn’t die for you
Tell me who would I long for
When I’m gone and I don’t have you
There’s no one else
in my world but you
No one else to give my life to
but you only you

Dee
Dee makes me sweat and forget
the time of day
And she makes me smile all the while
time slips away
Never known such a passionate girl
Gives me love my head’s in a whirl
And Dee gives me more and for sure
I’m satisfied
And she gives me all when I call her
in the night
Never had such a lover before
Shows me how to open the door and Dee
I’m just a boy that’s all I am
I’m just a boy and nothing more
But to her I am a man
in her arms I’m so secure
And Dee tells me when and once again
she always knows
And she tells me what the love we’ve got
will never go
I never want this feeling to end
Makes me happy
to have such a friend as Dee

Almost Midnight
Almost midnight wanna go to bed
Almost midnight gotta song in my head
Wanna write it down

Almost heaven wanna see you smile
Almost heaven and love you a while
Wanna call you up

Gotta see you soon and

The Way You Did Before
There have been changes in our lives
Since we first fell in love
So many changes that it’s hard to ignore
I get the feeling that these changes
Have drifted us apart
And I want to know do you still love me
The way you did before
We’ve planned our future together
A life of harmony
Beautiful future of loving and more
I get the feeling that our future
Is now in jeopardy
And I want to know do you still love me
The way you did before
I know I’ve hurt you without knowing
And I’ve apologized
I’ve really hurt you and I’m sorry
I never realized
Let’s make a promise to each other
To recapture what we had
And if you promise
I will promise this and more
I get the feeling that a promise
Is all we really need
And I want to know do you still love me
The way you did before
I want to know do you still love me
The way you did before

So Lonely
There are days in my life
when the sun doesn’t shine
And I feel all the pain
of a world that’s unkind
There are nights that I’ve spent
all alone in my bed
With a number of doubts
running all through my head
And I’m lonely don’t know what to do
So lonely can’t get over you
Yes I’m lonely don’t know what to say
Oh so lonely can you come out and play
I see visions of hope
when I look in your eyes
I can see to your heart
such a lovely surprise
But I’m here all alone
with my memories of you
As I hold back my tears
for a love pure and true
And I’m lonely don’t know what to do
So lonely can’t get over you
Yes I’m lonely don’t know what to say
Oh so lonely can you come out and play
And I must carry on as if you were here
And I know that my feelings
are deep and sincere
But sometimes I wonder
which road we must choose
To keep love together so no one will lose
And I’m lonely don’t know what to do
So lonely can’t get over you
Yes I’m lonely don’t know what to say
Oh so lonely can you come out and play

Gentle Peace Of Mind
Morning finds me waking
another day to do
I put myself together and hurry off to you
When I finally see you
there’s something I must say
Though I want to tell you
I just can’t find the way
When I look into your eyes
tell you what I see
I see my reflection looking back at me
And when I look into your soul
tell you what I find
A love so warm and tender
and a gentle peace of mind
Midday finds me wishing
we could be alone
I don’t want to share you
I want you for my own
Night time I’m in heaven
feeling so complete
But I’m so anxious wondering when
our eyes again will meet
When I look into your eyes
tell you what I see
I see my reflection looking back at me
And when I look into your soul
tell you what I find
A love so warm and tender
and a gentle peace of mind
Peace of mind

Coming Out
Girl it’s been a long time coming
we’ve spent a long time running away

We’ve tried so hard to hide it

Been so hard just to keep them all inside
Let them see how we feel
about one another
We’re not gonna hide
Girl it’s been a world of pleasure
a love we both can treasure today

And now that we’ve gone and said it
no longer gonna dread it this way

Should have said it from the start

We’re coming out coming out
We’re coming out

Ain't It A Shame
When the walls crash to the ground
gonna knock you down
Now ain’t it a shame ain’t it a shame
When the world starts passing you by
gonna make you cry
Now ain’t it a shame ain’t it a shame
After all the time we’ve spent together
Always never knowing for sure whether
love is real or love is a game
Ain’t it a shame
When your life is dragging on
and your will is gone
Now ain’t it a shame ain’t it a shame
When you can’t see the future ahead
well you’re better off dead
Now ain’t it a shame ain’t it a shame
After all the love we have behind us
Never always thinking there’s no
kindness in this world or in my brain
Ain’t it a shame

Making Love
And in the morning
feel the sun shining on your face
And the heat it generates
all over the place
When we go for breakfast
as we start the day
Girl you know I remember
the very special way
Making love making love
It’s the kind of love
your dreams are made of
Making love making love
Well there’s nothing in my life but you
When we make love
And in the afternoon
time is slowly passing by
And the thoughts of missing you
what a heavy sigh
When we meet at lunch time
love to hold your hand
People see us together
they don’t understand
Making love making love
It’s the kind of love
your dreams are made of
Making love making love
Well there’s nothing in my life but you
When we make love
Our time together has only just begun
My love’s forever and you’re the only one
And in the evening
the day coming to an end
And the sun is fading it’ll come again
When we finish dinner
I hold you close to me
And spend a night of passion
always to be
Making love making love
It’s the kind of love
your dreams are made of
Making love making love
Well there’s nothing in my life but you
When we make love

Destiny
Destiny having all the feelings
that were meant to be
I can see that you have no chance
of ever losing me
They say fate is in your hands
there’s a plan for you and me
It’s destiny thinking of the way
tomorrow used to be
I couldn’t see I was blind to feelings
that you had for me
It is written in the stars this love of ours
will always be our destiny
From the heavens up above
came our very special love
There’re no choices to be made
I feel my life has been saved
Cause destiny took control
the moment you said yes to me
Eternally I will share my life
with you so faithfully
Instant Karma got me too
brought me you and now I see
my destiny

So Sad
Somebody tell me how to relate
I’ve got these feelings feelings I hate
Somebody show me where can I turn
When I have anger making me burn
I’m gonna lose you
if things don’t change
You and I know it isn’t it strange
And it really makes me feel so bad
It's got me so sad
Somebody help me I’m falling fast
Needing forgiveness making love last
Somebody listen hold me awhile
Tell my life story cry like a child
Things will get better if we both try
One of us questions the other asks why
And it really makes me feel so bad
It's got me so sad
You’re gonna lose me
if things don’t change
Both of us know it isn’t it strange
And it really makes me feel so bad
It's got me so sad

Beautiful And Warm
Shadows dancing on the wall
from a candle by our bed
For me you’ll never have to call
I’ll be in your arms instead
Rain is falling softly
against the window pane
As tender as your loving voice
when it calls my name
Heaven is your body lying close to mine
Feel your head upon my chest
shivers down my spine
Looking deep into your eyes
as we move as one
Hold me as I go to sleep
when our loving’s done
Always be together weather every storm
Our love is like the gentle rain
beautiful and warm
Our love is like the gentle rain
beautiful and warm

Inside The Man
There was a time
when life was very easy
And the only thing that mattered
was the day
So long ago remember all the feelings
And I never let a thought get in my way
But today it’s so different
I am a child no longer
but I hunger for the innocence again
It’s so hard just to make it
I guess that’s why emotions run my life
And you cannot understand
the boy inside the man
There was a day
when simple things could please me
And the only way to reach me
was a smile
So many years have passed away forever
And I never even knew it all the while
But each day is a struggle
I am a man with burdens
But I wouldn’t want to let it
bring you down
It’s so hard just to face it I guess
that’s why you look at me so strange
And you’ll never understand
the boy inside the man
It’s so hard just to face it I guess
that’s why you look at me so strange
And you’ll never understand
the boy inside the man

Just My Girl
I’m sitting here so confused
And I wonder which one’s being used
Sometimes everything is all right
And then there are times like tonight
You go out and you stay
And I miss you when you’re away
So I call you and what do I get
These words that I’ll never forget
I’m just your girl I’m not your wife
And I deserve to have my own life
You don’t listen you don’t understand
Why do you always have to demand
All my time and all my life
I’m just your girl I’m not your wife
So I’m thinking as I hang up the phone
There’s no reason to be here alone
You know that two can play this game
And if I could I would show you the same
But that’s not me I only want you
And I love you I really do
But if I was stronger
here’s what I would do
I would say these words to you
You’re just my girl you’re not my wife
And something is missing in my life
Where is this going where will it end
Are you my future or only a friend
Wish I had a better life
'Cause you’re just my girl
you’re not my wife

If You Really Want Me To
Lay upon my bed
Rest your tired head
And I will spend the night with you
If you really want me to
Live your life alone
Give all that you own
And I will give my heart to you
If you really want me to
I know something
is keeping you and me apart
I’d give my life
if we could have a brand new start
Love be with you
In all that you do
And I will spend my life with you
If you really want me to
And I will give my life to you
If you really want me to

When You Come Home
Now you can go out and
do all the things you’ve wanted to
I guess I’ve wanted
to do all those things girl with you
But I never want to change you
That’s really not my style
All I ever wanted was your smile
But go ahead and leave me
sitting on my own
And maybe I’ll be here
when you come home
Now you can go out and
find all the good times that you had
It’s such a shame that you’ve lost them
girl it’s really sad
But I never want to hurt you
That’s really not my way
All I want to do and want to say
Is go ahead and leave me
sitting all alone
And maybe I’ll be here
when you come home
Now you can stay out
until you’ve had your fill of the world
But just remember
I hope that you’ll always be my girl
'Cause I never want to lose you
I’d hate to see you go
But there’s one thing I want you to know
That if you ever leave me
if the truth were known
Then maybe I’ll be here
when you come home
If you ever leave me sitting on my own
Then maybe I’ll be here
when you come home
Maybe I’ll be here
when you come home

Tell You To Go
There’s a feeling that I get
when I look in your eyes
It’s a feeling I’ve never felt
what a surprise
And there’s a feeling in my heart
I think you should know
That if I thought I could live without you
I’d tell you to go
There’s a reason that our lives
are tangled this way
And that reason is the reason
I guess that you stay
But there’s no reason that our tears
should continue to flow
And if I thought I could live without you
I’d tell you to go
I’d tell you to walk right through that door
And to not come back anymore
I’d tell you to stay away from me
And leave my broken heart to bleed
There’s a prayer that I pray
every night and each day
And it’s a prayer that our love
could still find a way
But my prayers like my love
I want you to know
That if I thought I could live without you
I’d tell you to go
If I thought I could live without you
I’d tell you to go

Last Night
Last night I think I fell in love
Truly head over heels
You know dreams come true as fantasies
But hey this dream was real
Last night emotions were running high
Soaring over the moon
You know I wanted the moment
to last forever
But hey morning came too soon
I’ve seen love in my life
I’ve seen it come and go
But it never made me feel so good
And now my eyes have been opened up
Guess I never understood
But last night I started to love again
Really feel so secure
You know my future now is in your hands
But hey that’s what love’s for
I’ve seen love in my life
I’ve seen it come and go
But it never made me feel so good
And now my eyes have been opened up
Well I guess I never understood
never understood
But last night I started to live again
Truly feel so secure
You know my future now is in your hands
But hey that’s what love’s for
Cause last night I think I fell in love

Senses Of Love
I love to see you smile
so please do what you can and
stay here with me awhile
I love to listen to you play
so do you think you could
sing me a song and take me away
I love to feel your body
so could you hold me tonight and
make me feel that I’m somebody
I love to taste your love so fly me with you
and we’ll soar like doves
I love to smell the summer air
so lay me down in the green grass and
show me how much you care
I love to feel your body
so could you hold me tonight and
make me feel that I’m somebody
I love to taste your love so fly me with you
and we’ll soar like doves
I love to see you smile
so please do what you can and
stay here with me awhile
I love to listen to you play
so do you think you could
sing me a song and take me away

When Love Comes Down
It seems like love has passed me by
My dreams were shattered by a lie
And now I’m alone not even a home
So lost and needing to be found
I had the world or so they say
So sad to give it all away
Don’t know what to do I don’t have a clue
So sad when there’s no one around
But I’ll keep on searching
For the someone meant for me
I know she’s out there she’s somewhere
And she’s looking to be free
To spend a life with me
And when I find her I will know
Till then I’ll let my feelings show
And dream of the day the pain goes away
So good when love comes down
When love comes down

I'll Never Forget Tonight
It started out quite simple
you asked me for a date
You told me to please hurry
it’s hard to have to wait
I knew we’d be together and
everything would be just right
Cause the way that you look
and the way that you feel
I’ll never forget tonight
I guess we had it coming
we’ve waited for so long
To hold you in my arms
and touch you with a song
The fragrance of a candle
the shadow from the light
And the way that you smile
and the way that you care
I’ll never forget tonight
Our love is a passion it cannot be denied
You’ve touched my heart in so many ways
when no one else has tried
And as we lie in silence
the softness of your hair
My kisses show my feelings
you know how much I care
So go to sleep and dream of me
and everything will be all right
Cause the way that you laugh
and the way that you love
I’ll never forget tonight
Yeah the way that you laugh
and the way that you love
I’ll never forget tonight

No One Like You
I’ve done some living I’ve been around
Sweet harmony I thought I had found
But nothing it seems is further
from the truth
Broken relations starting again
Looking for someone to be a good friend
And finding it seems the answer is you
And there’s never been no one like you
in my world
Someone who loves me and
says she’s my girl
Never been no one like you in my world
No there’s never been no one who
does what you do
I couldn’t imagine a lover so true
Never been no one like you in my world
Since I first met you everything’s changed
My whole being has been rearranged
And nothing it seems is still as before
All of my feelings deep and sincere
A life of emotions wanting to share
And always it seems I ask for more
And there’s never been no one like you
in my world
No one who loves me
and says she’s my girl
Never been no one like you
in my world
No there’s never been no one who
does what you do
I couldn’t imagine a lover so true
Never been no one like you in my world

Have To Say I'm Sorry
Well it’s four in the morning
and I can’t get to sleep
Too much tossing and turning
my troubles are deep
But I couldn’t explain it
if you wanted to know
So I have to say I’m sorry and let it go
Life is moving so quickly
my head is in a spin
Parts of me are dying and others begin
Sometimes I can’t take it
I’m overwhelmed again
And I have to say I’m sorry for all the pain
You know I’ll always love you
I’ve always said what I meant
You have my total devotion
one hundred percent
So honey please forgive me
if I seem confused
Like a child I’m learning
so easily amused
I never mean to hurt you
you know I’d rather die
So I have to say I’m sorry
but don’t know why
No I don’t know why

So Glad You're Mine
Look at you smiling looking so fine
Hair on your shoulders looking divine
I want to let you know without a doubt
what’s going through my mind
Baby I love you
and I’m so glad you’re mine
Lying before me looking so good
Feeling so tender I knew that you would
I want to let you see inside of me
I feel it every time
Baby I love you
and I’m so glad you’re mine
And I know that a love like this
only happens once in a lifetime
And I know that my feelings are sincere
You should know that we will always
be together
Sharing each moment sharing each year
And in the morning holding you near
I have no sorrow I have no fear
I want to let you hear my every breath
my rhythm and my rhyme
Baby I love you
and I’m so glad you’re mine
Baby I love you
and I’m so glad you’re mine
Baby I love you
and I’m so glad you’re mine

Angel
I know she is an angel
sent from up above
To give me hope and promise
to give me all her love
She gives her love so freely
she knows just what I need
Always wants to please me
in her eyes I can read
Lord you’ve truly blessed me
with a woman who treats me kind
Lord don’t ever take her from me
a woman like her I could never find
The love we have together
I never dreamt could be
We’re meant for one another
I think everyone can see
Her hands caress me softly
she holds me in her arms so strong
Misses me in the daytime
loves me till the dawn
Lord you’ve truly blessed me
with a woman who treats me kind
Lord don’t ever take her from me
a woman like her I could never find
A woman like her I could never find
A woman like her I could never find

Please Don't Break My Heart
I can’t believe my situation
of having you here in my world
Guess I never quite expected
that I would find me such a girl
And I’ve fallen fast and deeply
guess I’ve known it from the start
So my love I only ask of you
please don’t break my heart
Friends all tell me to be careful
'cause they know just how I feel
They’re afraid it’s only passing
but I know this love is real
But sometimes they make me wonder
if our love could ever part
So my love I only ask of you
please don’t break my heart
As a person I’m so fragile
so easily torn in two
I’m so high but I could be low
all because of you
So if ever I seem lonely
or you think there’s something wrong
It could be I’m only thinking
of the message in this song
Never want you to leave me
'cause that would tear my soul apart
So my love I only ask of you
please don’t break my heart
So my love I only ask of you
please don’t break my heart

Simply Something
Since you came into my life
All my wrongs seemed to turn out right
And the pain of my past
Has turned to love
a love that’s gonna last
No more sorrow only joy
And when you smile
you know you please your boy
And there’s simply something about you
I don’t know what it is
but I can’t live without you
And there’s simply something about you
Forever yours and you’re forever mine
I remember the first time
I held you close and
showed you you were mine
And the passion we shared
Felt so right even though we dared
No more sadness only smiles
And when you hold me
you know it drives me wild
And there’s simply something about you
I don’t know what it is
but I can’t live without you
And there’s simply something about you
Forever yours and you’re forever mine

Silence Of Love
Sometimes there’s nothing to say
And sometimes it’s better that way
For to speak my mind before I think
Is a sin I’m guilty of
I’d be better off with the silence of love
Sometimes I look at your face
Well sometimes I feel out of place
For to have a girl as good as you
An angel from above
I protect myself with the silence of love
There are times when I open my mouth
And I can’t believe the words
I don’t mean what I say
At least not that way
They seem so damned absurd
Sometimes I feel so alone
And sometimes I feel out on my own
For to be with you is a dream come true
I don’t feel I’m worthy of
So I hide behind the silence of love
Yes to be with you is a dream come true
I don’t feel I’m worthy of
So I hide behind the silence of love

Just Not The Girl
I’d waited all of my life
to find someone like you
Someone to come from my dreams
and make them come true
And from the very start
I gave you all of my heart
And now it breaks my heart to see
You’re just not the girl for me
All of the beautiful plans
that we made are now gone
You’ve got your family and friends
but I’m all alone
How I wanted a boy and a girl
from our love to bring to this world
But I know it never will be
You’re just not the girl for me
Don’t bother calling
I don’t ever want to hear your voice
Don’t bother knocking I won’t answer
I don’t want you and that’s my choice
I’d give my life if somehow
what we had would have stayed
I guess it’s our fate and
it’s time that we go separate ways
And although I’m dying inside
I’m sure that somehow I’ll survive
Though I’ll love you eternally
You’re just not the girl for me

Goodbye
It’s been a long time coming
But I never thought the day
would ever come
When you and I would finally say
It’s better that we part
it’s gonna break my heart
Goodbye why do these
simple words make me cry
I’d give the world to anyone
to show me a way
I thought we’d never say goodbye
You know I still remember
All the happiness and loving
that we shared
But now those days are memories
It’s never been the same
it’s really quite a shame
Goodbye why do these
simple words make me cry
I’d give the world to anyone
to show me a way
I thought we’d never say goodbye
I hope you find some sunshine
to brighten up your day
I hope I find somebody new
I don’t want to feel this way
And if by chance I see you
Well I hope I find the years
have been so kind
And I hope you find somebody who
Will love you tenderly
the way a love should be
Goodbye why do these
simple words make me cry
I’d give the world to anyone
to show me a way
I thought we’d never say goodbye

This Time
I’ve got a feeling inside
A feeling too strong to hide
I never wanted to show
but I thought you should know
And now I’m missing you love
Wish I was kissing you love
But baby if there’s a time
I can show you you’re mine
It’s got to be this time
This time I think I’ll take it slow
And find out everything
that I should know
This time I hope to be with you
The way I always thought
that you wanted me to
I never knew it before
I guess I wasn’t that sure
But now I know what it means
to be caught in between
Don’t want to tell you again
Don’t even know if I can
But just remember that I’m
hoping love isn’t blind
It’s gonna be this time
it’s gonna be this time
It’s gonna be this time
