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

What You're Doing

 

All through the nighttime

    I see images of your face
Dancing before me

    like a million stars in space
Can’t explain it don’t know why
I’m not even gonna try
But I sure like what you’re doing

    doing to me

 

I hardly knew you

    just a couple of days before
Now that I met you

    always leave me wanting more
Got the fever got it bad
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

    what my love is all about
Take my time love you slow
And when I’ll stop girl I don’t know
Cause 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

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

    doing to me

 

Yeah I sure like what you’re doing
As you’re doing what you’re doing
Yeah I sure like what you’re doing

    doing to me
What you’re doing to me
I like what you’re doing to me
Yeah come and do it to me

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

    before it’s gone forever
Gotta write this song and

   get back to dreaming of you

 

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

    before it gets too late
Gotta see you soon and

   get back to loving we knew

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

And you’re here in my arms

    lover stay with me

Coming Out

 

Girl it’s been a long time coming

    we’ve spent a long time running away

    hey hey
We’ve tried so hard to hide it

    but then we both decided to say

    hey hey
Gonna shout it to the world I’m your boy

    and you’re my girl
We’re coming out coming out

 

Girl it’s been a lifetime waiting

    so long anticipating today

    hey hey
I want the world to know it

    so now it’s time to show it today

    hey hey
Wanna scream it from above

    you’re my lady I’m your love
We’re coming out coming out

 

Coming out with our feelings

    for each other
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

    hey hey
And now that we’ve gone and said it

    no longer gonna dread it this way

    hey hey
Should have said it from the start

    all the love that’s in my heart
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
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
