Alan Jackson

Remember When
Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
And walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
Was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

A Great Big World

Say Something
Say something I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one if you want me to
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning love
Just starting to crawl

Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you
Say something I'm giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye

Say something I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you

Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something I'm giving up on you
Say something

A Fine Frenzy (Alison Sudol)

Ashes & Wine
Don't know what to do anymore
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
I'll drown in my tears, storming sea
That would show you,
That would make you hurt like me

All the same
I don't want mudslinging games
It's just a shame
To let you walk away

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

Don't know if our fate's already sealed
This day's a spinning circus on a wheel
I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee-laced, intoxicating on her lips

Shut it out
I've got no claim on you now
Not allowed to wear your freedom down, no

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may chance your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

I'll tear myself away
If that is what you need
There is nothing left to say
But

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?
The day's still ashes and wine
Or are we ashes?

Barry Manilow

Once and For All
You’re a girl after my own heart
You know your own mind
We are a similar kind, separate yet intertwined
We speak with a single voice
But now we must make a choice
Whether to fall in love

Once and for all
Do you really wanna have someone for good?
Would you stay in love forever if you could?
Do you wanna a friend who’s always standing by?
When your back’s against the wall, once and for all

We’re a pair cut from the same cloth
Deep in our own souls
Alone and yet perfectly whole
But seemingly in control
Afraid not knowing just where we are
But knowing we’ve come so far
So far that we just might make it

Once and for all, search your heart
And then I want you to decide
Is simple love enough to keep you by my side?
Can we stay together through the thick and thin
Through troubles big and small
Once and for all?

Once and for all

Once and for all
Do you really wanna have someone for good?
Would you stay in love forever if you could?
Do you wanna a friend who’s always standing by?
When your back’s against the wall, once and for all

Once and for all, once and for all

Benny Mardones

Into the Night
She's just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they say
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know

If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you love
Like you've never seen, ever seen.

It's like having a dream
Where nobody has a heart
It's like having it all
And watching it fall apart
And I would wait till the end of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can't measure my love
There's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know

If I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Oh, if I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen
Yeah, ooh

Billy Joel

Vienna
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through, ooooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight . . .
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

But you know that when the truth is told . . .
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Amanda
Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I can hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Another day, knowin' I love you
And I,
I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light
And walk away knowin'
I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize,
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away,
I can't wait another day,
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
Amanda
I love you

And I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin' for the words to say
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way
I don't wanna lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize,
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away,
I can't wait another day,
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
Amanda

You and I
I know that we can't wait
And I swear,
I swear it's not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share a life together
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late

And, feelin' the way I do
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you

Mary's Boy Child
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said,
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
They see a bright new shining star,
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.

Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
“Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace”.

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day.
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Oh, a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
“Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace”.

Oh my Lord
You sent Your Son to save us
Oh my Lord

Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord
when in the crib they found him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around him
To see him and adore

Oh my Lord
with the child’s adoration
Oh my lord
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
They had become to doubt You
Oh my Lord (He is the truth forever)
What did they know about You
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
But they were lost without you
They needed You so bad (His light is shining on us)

Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
with the child’s adoration
Oh my lord (He is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (Oh praise the Lord)
You sent Your Son to save us
Oh my Lord (This day will live forever)
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord (So praise the Lord)
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Brian McKnight

Back at One
It's undeniable
That we should be together
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know, if you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal
Yeah

One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me, and
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
Yeah, yeah

It's so incredible the way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about, babe
And undesirable for us to be apart
Never would of made it very far
'Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart
'Cause . . .

One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me, and
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

Say farewell to the dark of night, I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line just in the nick of time

One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me, and
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

Bruno Mars

Talking to the Moon
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back, I want you back
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have, you're all I have

At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself . . .

Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?

I'm feeling like I'm famous, the talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
Cause when the sun goes down someone's talking back
Yeah, they're talking back, oh

At night when the stars light up my room
I sit by myself . . .

Talking to the moon
Trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?

Do you ever hear me calling?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Cause every night, I'm talking to the moon

Still trying to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon?

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

Chet Faker

Gold
You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I never loved a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it
You gotta know, I'm feeling love
You gotta know, I'm feeling love

You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it

I might as well be in a garden
I said, uh, a smell in the air is a dripping rose (you can be the one for me)
Another soul to be my void then
Of anything there that's made of gold

A physical kiss is nothing without it
And you close your eyes to see what it's done
The body that lies is built upon looking
Is all that remains before it's begun

You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it
You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it

A heart will swell before it's hardened
With the flick of the hair, it can make you old
Another hole to dig my soul in
I'll leave anything bare that keeps me sole

A physical kiss is nothing without it
And you close your eyes to see what it's done
The body that lies is built upon looking
Is all that remains before it's begun

You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it
You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it
You gotta know, I'm feeling love
Made of gold, I'll never love a
'Nother one, another you
It's gotta be love, I said it

Chris de Burgh

The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born)
A child is born on a battlefield
A soldier boy falls to his knees,
And a woman cries in joy and pain,
When will we live in peace again?

A child is born where the wild wind blows,
In a country torn from the South to the North,
And a family runs from day to day,
When will we see our home again?

When will we see the simple truth?
That the only thing that’s worth a damn,

The life of a child is more than a forest,
The life of a child is more than a border,
Could ever be

A child is born in the desert sun,
A tiny life has just begun,
And a mother cries for her hungry babe,
When will I feed my boy again?

A child is born to an ordinary home,
East or West,
it could be anyone,
But we all want to know,
Will my child survive to see the day?
When we will be secure again?

When will we see the simple truth?
That the only thing that’s worth a damn,

The life of a child is more than a forest,
The life of a child is more than a border,
The life of a child is more than religion,
The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity,
We must believe,
For the sake of humanity,
We must believe . . .

For the sake of humanity, we must believe

Christina Perri

Jars of Hearts
I know I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
 
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
 
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Coldplay

The Scientist
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Aah-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Corinne Bailey Rae

Like a Star

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Honor to love you

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is au fait
Without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh...
Your love

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Now I have come to understand
The way it is
It's not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark
Now I understand

I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is
I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart

Just like oil on my hands

David Castle

You're Too Far Away
You say that you’re been used
And now you’re feeling so confused
You need some space and time
To sort your thoughts and clear your mind
And if it takes a year
You know I’ll still be here

I want to be your friend
I want to help your wounds to mend
I want to be with you
To comfort you

But you’re too far away
And I can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hold you in my arms
But if you need time
You know I don’t mind
I’ll be here, but you’re still far away

You call me on the phone
But when we’re through I’m still alone
I light a cigarette
But I can’t forget

That you’re too far away
And I can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hear you say
You’ll come to stay with me

It’s hard when you’re too far away
And I can’t help you mend
Your broken yesterdays
It’s hard when you’re too far away
I long to hold you in my arms

But if you need time
You know I don’t mind
I will wait
Until you’re here to stay

Donna Summer

The Woman in Me
Spoken:
You know baby
I'm so happy to be here
You and I
And I just wanna let you know
That I'd follow you to the end of the world
And let you know that I care
And I want you to know that
If you need me I'll always be there

Dancin' close feelin' restless
It's a slow, sultry night
It'll be a lifetime 'til sunrise
If you don't stay with me tonight

(I) feel your breath caress my shoulder
As your heart reads my mind
You don't have to tell me anything
I can see everything
In your eyes

It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse
To be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe
That I'm feeling so free
To be the woman in me

Baby there's so much
No man has ever touched
Of the woman in me

Spoken:
But I love you baby, oh . . .

I might be tremblin' but I'm no scared
(It's) just my desire, breaking free
I've never had a change like this before
To unlock all the doors
To the woman in me

It's so easy with you
I don't need an excuse
To be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe
That I'm feeling so free
To be the woman in me

Baby there's so much
No man has ever touched
Of the woman of me

Like the dark side of the full moon
(I've) never shown,
What I'm showing to you

It's so easy with you
I don't need a excuse
To be the woman in me
It's so hard to believe
That I'm feeling so free
To be the woman in me
It's so easy with you
To be the woman in me
It's so easy with you
To be the woman in me
It's so easy with you
To be the woman in me

Duran Duran

A Matter of Feeling
How does it feel
When everyone surrounds you?
How do you deal?
Do crowds just make you feel lonely?
What do you say
When people come and try to pin you down?
Acquaintances smile
But that's no understanding
How, after a while
You keep falling off the same mountain?
Try to explain it
But nothing really gets them that high

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

Emotion's a game
Saved up for a rainy Monday
But you laugh just the same
'Cause it's been pouring on Sunday
Call up your numbers
And never let the zeros bring you down
How does it feel?
Is time too heavy to hold?
Whatever you decide for the moment is Holy
Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

[Instrumental]

You can

Steal away in the morning
Love's already history to you
It's a habit you're forming
This body's desperate for something new
Just a matter of feeling
These moments of madness are sure to pass
And tears will dry as you're leaving
Who knows, you might find something to last

A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling
A matter of feeling . . .

Five For Fighting

100 Years
I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm twenty-two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live

I'm thirty-three for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm of age
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm forty-five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy, time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen I'm all right with you
Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty-seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on

I'm ninety-nine for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

Fifteen there's still time for you
Twenty two I feel her too
Thirty-three you're on your way
Every day's a new day

Fifteen there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

For Non Blondes

What's Up?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head,
And I
I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high, and I
Scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh

And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution

And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
And I
I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high, and I
Scream from the top of my lungs
What’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?

Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh ooooooooooooooooh

Twenty-five years I’m alive here still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

Glee Cast (sang by Blaine Anderson)

It's Time
So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't look back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin
Isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then, I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand?
I'm never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check

I don't ever wanna let you down
I don't ever wanna leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night

It's time to begin
Isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin
Isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Oh, don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked so lonely (Lonely)
This house doesn't burn down slowly (Slowly)
To ashes, to ashes

It's time to begin
Isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin
Isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

(Am, am, am
Am, am, am, am)

Love X Love
Remember the days when we never had a dime
And our dreams seemed a million miles away
But we made it baby
Facin' the bad times with a smile
Here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good to know
You're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love to keep us satisfied every night

So my lady whisper the words I love to hear
Cuddle up and I'll make you feel all right
'Cause I need you baby to carry me on through all the years
So come on baby close the door and dim the lights

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good to know
You're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love to keep us satisfied every night
 
And there ain't no one in this world tonight
Can change my point of view
So come on girl and hold me tight
The way you always do with love times me and you

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good to know
You're by my side
'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love to keep us satisfied every night

We got love
Sure feels good to know
Keep me satisfied
It sure feels good

The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason is you [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Jimmy Cliff

Peace
How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking more than their share
Of the bounties of this land and that's not fair

So little people got more than they need
While there's so many hungry mouths in the world to feed
And I would give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me

How is there going to be peace?
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone is taking my share
And they just don't give a damn, no they don't care

So, you just might as well face it
'Cause there ain't no other way to erase it
And I will give my heart so true
And I will give my love for you, tell me

John Bon Jovi

(You Want To) Make A Memory
Hello again, it’s you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sipping wine, killing time
Tryna' to solve life’s mysteries
How’s your life? It’s been a while
God, it’s good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don’t know if you should stay
If you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby, just breathe, there’s no where else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask

If you go now, I’ll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan

We're gonna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing a melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory

If you don’t know if you should stay
And you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby, just breathe, there’s no where else tonight we should be
(We shouldn't be) we should be
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory

Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer
(featuring Kim Carnes)

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door and want to stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'll stay
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Oh, put out the light, just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's mornin' and the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before ya change your mind

And if ya knew what I was thinkin', girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Oh, put out the light, just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye

Shallow
Tell me somethin’, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin’ else you’re searchin’ for?

I’m fallin’
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times, i fear myself

Tell me something, boy
Aren’t you tired tryna fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain’t it hard keepin’ it so hardcore?

I’m fallin’
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And, in the bad times, i fear myself

I’m off the deep end, watch as i dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now

In the sha-ha, sha-la-low
In the sha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-ha-ha-low
We’re far from the shallow now

Hoo, huh, uh, huhh-ow
Huh, huhh-huhhh

I’m off the deep end, watch as i dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface
Where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now

In the sha-ha, sha-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-ha-ha-low
We’re far from the shallow now

Lionel Richie

Oh No

I want you to want me
I'm going crazy knowing he will be your lover tonight
And when he comes, I'll let you go
I'll just pretend as you walk out the door

Oh no
I can't sleep
Oh no
I'm going crazy with love
Over you

I need you to need me
I want to hold you but you're holding someone else in your arms
When I close my eyes I see your face
I'm just not sure how much my heart can erase

Oh no
I can't think, ooh
Oh no
I'm going crazy with love
Over you

Oh, honey
Oh, sugar

Oh no
I can't sleep anymore baby
Oh no
I can't think anymore baby
Oh no
I'm going crazy with love
Over you

Marc Anthony

You Sang to Me
Oh, oh
I just wanted you to comfort me
When I called you late last night you see
I was fallin' into love
Yes, I was crashin' into love

Oh, of all the words you sang to me
About life, the truth and bein' free
Yeah, you sang to me,
Oh, how you sang to me

Girl, I live off how you make me feel
So I question all this bein' real
'Cause I'm not afraid to love
For the first time I'm not afraid to love

Oh, this day seems made for you and me
And you showed me what life needs to be
Yeah, you sang to me,
Oh, you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love

The words you said, you sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
Yeah, you sang to me,
Oh, you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it,
I can't believe it
Oh, but I feel it
When you sing to me

Michael Jackson

Stranger in Moscow
I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feeling insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin's shadow belittling me
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (How does it feel?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside?

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was dogging me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a beggar boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came and again, and again, and again
Take my name and just let me-

How does it feel (How does it feel?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside?

How does it feel (How does it feel?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside?

Like a stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
Like a stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
We're talking danger
We're talking danger, baby
Like a stranger in Moscow
We're talking danger!
We're talking danger, baby!
Like a stranger in Moscow
I'm living lonely
I'm living lonely, baby!
Stranger in Moscow

I Cannot Believe It's True
When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
‘Cause I’ve already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it’s gone

And I gave it all to you
Now I’m living on borrowed time, but it’s mine
Oh, d’you hear me?
I cannot believe it’s true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it’s you, really you

Oh, these people I’m talking to don’t understand
Don’t seem to realize
They’re listening but they’re not hearing me
They’re being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone

‘Cause I gave it all, it’s gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I’m living on borrowed time, but it’s mine
Oh, d’you hear me?
I cannot believe it’s true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it’s you, really you

(Over and over) I keep on telling myself
(Over and over) I hope I’m gonna wake up
(Over and over) I know it’s really happening
And there’s nothing that I can say
‘Cause nothing can change all the things that you’ve done to me
Nothing can make me stay

Ooh, ‘cause you know I cannot believe it’s true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No, I cannot believe it’s you, really you

I know it’s a crying shame, it’s all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through
Never meant it to show
It started happening, that’s all you know

Ooh, I gave it all to you
Now I’m living on borrowed time, but it’s mine
Oh, d’you hear me?
I cannot believe it’s true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it’s you, really you

(Over and over) I keep on telling myself
(Over and over) I Hope I’m gonna wake up
(But over and over) I know it’s really happening
But there’s nothing that I can say
‘Cause nothing can change all the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay

‘Cause you know I cannot believe it’s true
Are you really doing the things you do
No, I cannot believe it’s you, really you

Another Brick in the Wall
[Verse 1: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher, leave them kids alone!

[Chorus: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

[Verse 2: Islington Green Scholl Students]
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher, leave us kids alone!

[Chorus: Islington Green Scholl Students]
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

[Outro: Roger Waters]
Wrong, do it again! *Children playing*
Wrong, do it again!
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!
(Wrong, do it again!)
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
(Wrong, do it again!)
You! Yes! You behind the bike sheds! Stand still, laddie!
(If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?)
(You! Yes! You behind the bike sheds! Stand still, laddie!)

A Fool in Love

Look at the light coming over me
Show me a man who's gentle and kind
And I'll show you a loser
Now, show me a man who takes what he wants
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
Ohhhhhhhhh how exciting
So the poet sings

When you're a fool in love
And nothing goes the way you plan
And no one cares and no one understands
That you're a fool and you're in love
Never another spring for you
Never a robin to sing for you
You're out there on your own
When you're a fool in love

When you're a fool in love
Seems like the skies are always grey
You turn around, there's someone in your way
And it's you, and you're in love
Sometimes you think that your luck has changed
And a rainbow explodes 'cross the sky
But when you're a fool in love
You'll be a fool 'til the day you die

Rockwell

Knife
You touched my life
With the softness in the night
My wish was your command
Until you ran out of love
I tell myself I'm free
Got the chance of living just for me
No need to hurry home
Now that you're gone

Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart of my life

When I pretend wear a smile
To fool my dearest friends
I wonder if they know, it's just a show
I'm on a stage, day and night
I go through my charades
But how can I disguise what's in my eyes?

Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
You cut away the heart of my life

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh

I've tried and tried
Blocking out the pain I feel inside
The pain of wanting you
Wanting you

Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded
Knife, cuts like a knife
How will I ever heal?
I'm so deeply wounded

You cut away the heart of my life

Roger Daltrey

Without Your Love
You can show me the way
Give me a sunny day
But what does it mean
Without your love?

And if I could travel far
If I could touch the stars
Where would I be
Without your love?

Whenever I get to feel
Down and out
I think about what you said
And then I'd give out

And if I could fly away
If I could sail today
Where would I go
Without your love?

You can show me the way
And give me a sunny day
But what does it mean
Without your love?

And if I could travel far
If I could touch the stars
Where would I be
Without your love?

And if I ever wander away
Too far
You'd come looking for me with
Open arms

I could forget my home
Be like a rolling stone
But who would I be
Without your love?

And what does it mean
Without your love?
Where would I be?

Chandelier
Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down
I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
1 2 3, 1 2 3, drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count

From the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night
Feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier
From the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light

Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight, on for tonight

He's the Greatest Dancer
Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow
That I've ever seen
Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow

One night in a disco on the outskirts of Frisco
I was cruisin' with my favorite gang
The place was so boring, filled with out-of-towners touring
I knew that it wasn't my thing
I really wasn't caring but I felt my eyes staring
At a guy who stuck out in the crowd
He had the kind of body that would shame Adonis
And a face that would make any man proud

Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow
That I've ever seen
Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow

The champion of dance, his moves would put you in a trance
And he never leaves the disco alone
Arrogance but not conceit, as a man he is complete
My crème de la crème, please take me home
He wears the finest clothes, the best designers, heaven knows
Oooh, from his head down to his toes
Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci, he looks like a still
That man is dressed to kill

Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow
That I've ever seen
Oh what, wow
He's the greatest dancer
Oh what, wow

Chasing Cars
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Luka
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
Walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore

====================

"A few years ago, I used to see this group of children playing in front of my building, and there was one of them, whose name was Luka, who seemed a little bit distinctive from the other children. I always remembered his name, and I always remembered his face, and I didn’t know much about him, but he just seemed set apart from these other children that I would see playing. And I guess his character is what I based the song Luka on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child – In real life I don’t think he was. I think he was just different."
- From a Swedish television special, 1987.

Love Story
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "hello"
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "please don't go," and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say "yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say "yes"
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say "yes"
Oh, oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said: "Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say 'yes'"

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Eye in the Sky
Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

To Build a Home
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Held on as tightly as you held onto me
Held on as tightly as you held onto me

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

(I Wish I knew How It Would Feel to Be) Free/One
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say’em loud, say’em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that’s in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it feels to be me
Then you’d see and agree
That every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I’d sing ’cause I know how it feels to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
Say’em loud, say’em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say’em loud, say’em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say’em loud, say’em clear
For the whole
Wide world to hear

One love
One blood
One life
You’ve got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One love
But we’re not the same
We got to carry each other
Carry each other
One One One One One . . .

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

Forever By Your Side
Hey, it started out as friends
Friends turned into lovers
Do you remember when
I held you
For the very first time?
Love made it so easy girl
For me to speak my mind

I've said:
I want you
I need you
Oh, girl how I believe in you
You're the light
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Now, we see our love has grown
And these have been the sweetest times
That I have ever known
And I know that it will never end
'Cause every time I look at you
I fall in love again

I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
Oh, girl how I believe in you (you're the light)
You're the light (that shines)
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

Longer than the sun will shine
Love is a tie that binds, forever (forever), forever
Two hearts are meant to be one love eternally
Together (together), forever, forever

I want you
I need you
Oh, girl how I believe in you
You're the light
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

I want you (I want you)
I need you (I need you)
Oh, girl how I believe in you (you're the light)
You're the light (that shines)
That has always seen me through
In you I could find
That I will be
Forever by your side

A New Beginning
Didn’t want this, never asked for it
I don’t know why but it happened to me
No need for tears, cause they
Never washed away the pain kept inside of me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh

All I want is to get through this
I’m trying so hard to forget about this pain
No matter what I do, it doesn’t change anything
So, now I just wanna start a new beginning
A new beginning
Oh, Ohhh

Seems like I can’t, get over this
Everyday it’s the same, and I’m getting tired of it
No need for tears, cause they
Never washed away the pain kept inside of me
Whoa

So, now
All I want is to get through this
I’m trying so hard to forget about this pain
No matter what I do, it doesn’t change anything
So, now I just wanna start a new beginning
A new beginning

So, now
All I want is to get through this
I’m trying so hard to forget about this pain
No matter what I do, it doesn’t change anything
So, now I just wanna start a new beginning

All I want is to get through this
I’m trying so hard to forget about this pain
No matter what I do, it doesn’t change anything
So, now I just wanna start a new beginning

A new beginning
A new beginning
A new beginning
