Blame It On Love
03:23
|
|||
|
I get so darn crazy around you.
Why do I keep doing this stupid stuff?
Maybe there is something in the air,
Or maybe it’s because I don’t think enough.
Where does all my common sense go?
Why do I do dumb things? Don’t know.
What is it I could be thinking of? Oh yeah...
Maybe we can blame it on love.
My heart skips a beat when I’m near you.
Decisions don’t seem to come so easily.
I get all light headed when you are near.
I can’t understand this effect on me.
No matter what, I can’t seem to explain.
Why all reasoning seems to leave my brain.
What in the world could I be thinking of?
Why don’t we just blame it on love?
Think about it for a minute.
It’s hard to see when you’re in it.
What is it about this emotion?
It makes people seem to do crazy things.
Maybe there is some explanation,
Of why they can’t handle their feelings.
Where does all their common sense go?
Why do they do dumb things? Don’t know.
What is it they could possibly be thinking of?
Maybe they can blame it on love.
Think about it for a minute.
It’s hard to see when you’re in it.
I get so darn crazy around you.
Why do I keep doing this silly stuff?
Maybe there is something in the air,
Or maybe it’s because I just don’t think enough.
Where does all my common sense go?
Why do I do dumb things? Don’t know.
What is it I could be thinking of? I know...
Where does all my common sense go?
Why do I do dumb things? Don’t know.
What is it I could possibly be thinking of?
Maybe we can blame it on love.

Falling
02:51

Falling.
There’s not a thing I could do.
To keep me,
From falling in love with you.
Spinning, and losing all control,
Without a net it’s scary to let go.
Soaring,
And I don’t need any wings.
Gliding,
On feelings of love that you bring.
Can’t stop, this feeling of falling fast.
The time has come, we’re going to make love last.
Falling as one we can take the leap.
Take a chance and see what love can be.
Falling,
Is very easy to do.
Because,
We’ll let go and start anew.
Calling your name, makes my heart sing.
Our love shows what happiness will bring.
Falling as one we can take the leap.
Take a chance and see what love can be.
Loving,
Doesn’t come so easily.
Falling,
Take a chance and we will see.
Can’t stop, that feeling comes over me,
The time is here, you know we’re meant to be.

I Will Wait Forever
02:58
|
|||
|
Time doesn’t matter,
I will wait forever for you.
Until you can make up your mind.
(I will wait forever) Look in my eyes,
And realize,
(I will wait forever) That you are mine.
Please listen to me,
I will wait forever for you.
You need to listen to my song.
(I will wait forever) Look in your heart,
And make a start,
(I will wait forever) It won’t be long.
You must realize it too.
We belong together, yes it’s true.
What is the problem?
I will wait forever for you.
Why can’t you try and make a choice?
(I will wait forever) I am right here,
And you're so near,
(I will wait forever) Please hear my voice.
You must realize it too.
We belong together, yes it’s true.
Even though days pass slowly,
I will wait forever for you.
Until you can be by my side.
(I will wait forever) Give us a chance,
Start our romance,
(I will wait forever) To show you’re mine.

For You
02:44
|
|||
|
For you, I’ve written this ballad,
It isn’t really anything new.
And so, this sad melody is because you,
Have no frame of reference, you don’t really care.
Doesn't matter if it’s fair.
For you, I’m making an effort,
To write, something that you might regard,
As good. And I know that it’s going to be hard.
Back and forth we go debating what is right,
Maybe it’s time to say goodnight.
It’s for you, all for you.
Won’t you change your mind?
About everything we’ve done,
I’m tired of spending time...
On you. I’m trying to please you,
It isn’t very easy to do.
I’ll try, please won’t you give me a clue?
Of what you would like to hear played in a song.
Lost for words, it could be wrong.
It’s for you, all for you.
Won’t you change your mind?
About everything we’ve done,
I’m tired of spending time...
For you, this song has no meaning.
Feels like I’m going from bad to worse,
I’ll keep, on searching for the perfect verse.
Look around you and you’ll see what makes me sad,
This song’s about what we had.
For you.
For you.
For you.

Cross The Line
02:46
|
|||
|
You don’t have to like me that much,
You don’t have to care,
You don’t have to please me, or tell me life’s unfair
Not with you on your side and me on mine,
Let’s come together, cross the line.
I’m tired of all the anger I see,
Tired of all the strife.
Can’t we come together, and have a happy life?
Not with you on your side and me on mine,
Let’s come together, cross the line.
Life is short, time goes quickly by,
It seems like just a second
or a blink of an eye.
When it’s all over,
We know we kept the good inside.
Cause love is the answer,
We know we’ll always cross that line.
We’ve got more in common, you see,
Than we have apart,
We should find a reason, to make a brand new start.
Not with you on your side and me on mine,
Let’s come together, cross the line
Instrumental:
I sure don’t know how we got here,
Really I don’t care,
And we need an answer, that has to lead somewhere.
Not if you’re on your side and I’m on mine.
Let’s come together, cross the line. (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Not if you’re on your side and I’m on mine.
Let’s come together, cross the line.

Looking Back
02:15
|
|||
|
When I reminisce,
About the things that we have done,
Learning to play music; skipping school.
Instead of doing homework,
We tried to write some songs.
Looking back, we thought it were so cool.
When I reminisce,
About the places we have been,
On the road for most of our young years.
Didn’t make much money,
But had a real good time.
Looking back, it’s music to our ears.
When we chose that way of life,
It was our big dream,
Getting to play music every day.
Wrote songs for a record,
That got on the air.
We thought it would get played everywhere.
When I reminisce,
About the people we have met,
They all danced to music that we made,
Traveling ‘cross country,
Always on the run.
Looking back, we’re longing for those days.
Whistling Solo:
When we chose that way of life,
It was our big dream,
Getting to play music every day.
Wrote songs for a record,
That got on the air.
We thought it would get played everywhere.
When I reminisce,
About the time that has flown by.
Seems like it was just the other day.
Yes, we’ll keep on dreaming.
Thinking ‘bout those days,
Memories we hope won’t fade away.
Memories we hope won’t fade away.
Memories we hope won’t fade away.

You have got me seeing red.
The heat is building in my head.
Why do I keep thinking you are coming back?
Watched you go, one thing I want you to know,
It feels like my world's on fire, and I don’t care.
My anger’s boiling to excess.
With feelings that I can’t express.
It’s clear that you don’t seem to care about the factual things in life.
I don’t see, how this could be,
It feels like the world's on fire, and I don’t care.
Had a friend in you,
So hard to do.
You missed the chance,
I'm leaving you.
The pavement’s burning up my feet.
I really can’t stand this heat.
You keep telling me that it’s all inside my head.
But I know, it’s in my soul,
It feels like the world’s on fire, and I don’t care.
Friend in you,
So hard to do.
You missed your chance,
I'm leaving you.
Bad thoughts are burning up my brain.
So much they’re driving me insane!
I feeling like I am going right out of my head.
You don’t care, just know that I'm aware,
It feels like the world’s on fire, and I don’t care.
Hey, It feels like the world’s on fire, and I don’t care.
It feels like my world’s on fire, and I don’t care.

Have A Little Faith
03:13
|
|||
|
Have a little faith,
Keep upbeat and turn yourself around.
There might be some push back,
But it’s easier than it might sound.
If at first you don’t succeed then you can,
Try again and stand your ground.
Sometimes you might fall,
It’s important that you get up fast.
Don’t Let them see you crying.
Make a change you know is going to last.
Please be open minded and then you can,
Learn the lessons of the past.
Have a - little faith now,
Show us all the way.
Have a - little faith now,
Please hear what we say…
Failure’s not an option.
There is too much riding on the out-come.
Show them you can do it,
It will be hard to take in for some.
If you believe in yourself then you can,
Watch them appreciate your wisdom.
Have a - little faith now,
Show us all the way.
Have a - little faith now,
Please hear what we say…
Have a little faith,
That things are still going to work out.
If you’ve done your best now,
That is what my words are all about.
If at first you don’t succeed then you can,
Try again and stand your ground.

Live For Today
02:51
|
|||
|
You see all the good in everybody,
You’re the one that never lets us down.
What if we all try and be more like you?
Help us see a new day now.
If we come with you, will you please show us how?
Everyone is worried about tomorrow,
And let’s not get stuck on yesterday.
Don’t you know your silence can be deafening.
Please come show us all the way.
Open up our hearts and let’s live for today.
You’re the one we look to.
Show us how to live for today.
Everyone is looking to the future.
Is it so much better than today?
Let’s throw all our clocks into the ocean,
Forget about our money too.
Show us all the good that only love can do.
You’re the one we look to.
Show us how to live for today.
You’re the one who seems to have the answers,
We could all take a lesson from you.
Money, fame and fortune are all fleeting,
Precious is our time each day,
Let’s all find a reason to live for today.

Number Of My Train
02:57
|
|||
|
I’m standing at the station,
Bags in hand,
It’s time to go, because I know,
My mind’s made up, this is the end.
I’m waiting for the number,
Of my train,
It won’t be long, then I’ll be gone,
And I’m not coming back again.
You broke my winning streak,
And left me flat.
How could I ever forget that?
So now I’m packing up,
And moving on.
Just one kiss goodbye, and I’ll be gone.
Maybe someone else,
Will take my place,
It’s not so wrong, now say so long,
And put a smile upon your face.
Instrumental:
You broke my winning streak,
And left me flat.
How could I ever forget that?
So now I’m packing up,
And moving on.
Just one kiss goodbye, and I’ll be gone.
Soon my train departs,
I feel my heart,
Starting to break, and though the ache,
Is so intense to be apart.
I’m waiting for the number,
Of my train,
It won’t be long, then I’ll be gone,
And I’m not coming back again.

Nothing Lasts Forever
02:47
|
|||
|
Nothing lasts forever,
‘Cept my love for you.
Ours will last forever and a day.
No one can take this feeling from us.
You’ve got my love, don’t let it slip away. Away.
Nothing lasts forever,
But one thing I know,
Love will last beyond the sands of time.
Don’t really want to ever lose this feeling;
That endless feeling knowing you are mine. Are mine.
Look around, all around,
No love like ours can be found.
Hold it close to you, and know it’s real.
Feel the love, all my love,
Till you see the stars above,
Go dark, you’ll know exactly how I feel.
Forever and a day is,
Past the end of time.
My love for you will last eternally.
Even after all the stars fade from sight.
That’s how long our love is meant to be. To be.
Look around, all around,
No love like ours can be found.
Hold it close to you, and know it’s real.
Feel the love, all my love,
Till you see the stars above,
Go dark, you’ll know exactly how I feel.
Nothing lasts forever,
‘Cept the love we share.
Before the dawn and past eternity.
Beyond all words, and longer than a lifetime.
That is how our love is meant to be.
Yes, that is how our love is meant to be.
Yes, that is how our love is meant to be.

One More Song
03:30
|

|
Music is the path to love,
It’s a gift from up above.
Pick up your instruments and play,
Can’t waste another day,
Cynical actions don’t belong,
Won’t you give us one more song?
In my youth please understand,
All our friends were in a band,
I’d like to go back to those days,
Everyone got to play,
So join us now, it won’t be long,
Please, won’t you give us one more song?
Won’t you come along?
We’ve got to be strong.
Won’t you give us one more song?
There is nothing set in stone.
It’s what history has shown.
We know that music is the cure,
To negativity,
Now is the time to play it strong,
Won’t you give us one more song?
Won’t you come along?
We’ve got to be strong.
Won’t you give us one more song?
Music is the answer now,
We must keep playing somehow.
We should all play into the night,
Won’t you please join me now?
Choose your own tune, it can’t be wrong,
Won’t you give us one more song?

Sweet Dreams
03:36
|

|
Close your eyes, and go to sleep,
Sweet dreams.
It should be an easy thing to do,
It seems.
But your conscience keeps you up at night,
I guess that means you have one.
Toss and turn all through the night,
Stay up until you see the dawn.
When you’re up, all through the night,
Sweet dreams.
It serves you right, because you’re going to,
Extremes.
You say your heart is broken now,
I guess that means you have one.
Toss and turn all through the night,
Awake until you see the sun.
When you sleep, wish for sweet dreams,
They might change your mind.
Think things over, for your own sake.
Maybe you won't be so blind.
Screaming solo:
You say your soul is throbbing nonstop,
Guess that means you have one.
Toss and turn all through the night,
Until the new day has begun.
When you sleep, wish for sweet dreams,
They might change your mind.
Think things over, for your own sake.
Maybe you won't be so blind.
Close your eyes, and go to sleep,
Sweet dreams.
It should be an easy thing to do,
It seems.
But your conscience keeps you up at night,
I guess that means you have one.
Toss and turn all through the night,
Stay up until you see the dawn.
See the dawn.
See the dawn.

Watch Me Now
03:45
|
|||
|
I remember the times you told me no,
Now My sole purpose is to show you,
That I’m going to break through.
You said it a lot, and it is not,
Something I ever will forget now,
I’m going to bet now,
I’ll find my way up, up to the top,
And I am not, going to stop.
Watch me now!
I can clearly hear those fateful words,
But I will keep on moving forwards,
I’m not going backwards.
You aren’t going to keep me from my plans,
And it’s what you don’t understand now,
I’m taking a stand now.
I, will find a way, to make it through,
And when I do,
Watch me now!
Watch me now, and you’ll see how,
Life is lived, and now you’ll see.
Your words are still ringing in my ears,
And it’s become extremely clear,
That I have to show you.
Whatever it was you couldn’t see,
Now I am sure it’s meant to be now,
You’re going to see how,
I’ll find my way up, up to the top,
And I am not going to stop.
So watch me now!
Watch me now, and you’ll see how,
Life is lived, and now you’ll see.
I remember the times you told me no,
Now My sole purpose is to show you,
That I’m going to break through.
You said it a lot, and it is not,
Something I ever will forget now,
I’m going to bet now,
I’ll find my way up, up to the top,
And I am not, going to stop.
So watch me now!
