i can't stop loving you
i remember those younger days
my mama used to always say
i could do anything if i wanted to
and the first time i saw your eyes
all my life i never felt so alive
like i could do anything and i wanted to
i could pull the stars from heaven
and make them spell out your name
i could stop the rain
from falling
in the wildest hurricane
but i can't stop thinking about you
i can't stop wishing you were here in my arms
there are some things
i can live without
but i can't live without you now
i can't stop dreamin'
about you
i can't stop this burnin' deep in my heart
everywhere i go - everything i do
'til forever comes
i can't stop loving you
and i remember when you walked away
i told myself i'd forget someday
but it's been a while
and all i can do
is see your smile on every face
and find myself running back to the places
we used to go - oh i miss you
well i could stop the
sun from shinning
and make the blue skies go away
i could stop the world from turnin''
but this heart of mine wont change
i've tried to put the
past behind me
like i've always done
before
but everything i do reminds me
of the day i saw you walking out my door
but i can't stop thinking about you
i can't stop wishing you were here in my arms
there are some things
i can live without
but i can't live without you now
i can't stop dreamin'
about you
i can't stop this burnin' deep in my heart
everywhere i go - everything i do
'til forever comes
i can't stop loving you
|
i'll
say goodbye
i’ll always remember the day that we met
you said you loved my
eyes
but your love for me was like autumn leaves
that turn and softly float down from the sky
and i tried to hold on too tight i know
but now i've learned that love means letting go
so i'll say good-bye
and i hope you have the greatest
i’m gonna pray
and wish you all the best
i’m gonna hope
and i never thought i'd say this
that she brings you true happiness
your warm summer kisses are still on my lips
your touch will always live deep in my soul
but she’s the one now
who makes you smile
and it’s killing me but i wont let it show
'cause i know you can’t help how you feel
and someday my broken
hearts gonna heal
so i'll say good-bye
and i hope you have the greatest
i’m gonna pray
and wish you all the best
i’m gonna hope
and i never thought i'd say this
that she brings you true happiness

i've
missed
i guess you thought that i was lying
i guess so many people do
so is there any more use trying
to convince you that it's true
and i can see it all in your eyes
you can't afford to take the risk
but don't blame me for wishing selfishly
for the love i know i've missed
if we were living in a different time
or maybe in a different place
i know you would gently take my hand
i'd fall into your sweet embrace
but i can see it all in your eyes
you can't afford to take the risk
please don't blame me
for wishing selfishly
for the love i know i've missed
i'll watch you walk right through my door
and you'll never see me cry
i wouldn't want your last memory
to be a bitter-sweet good-bye
and i can see it all in your eyes
you can't afford to take the risk
but don't blame me for wishing selfishly
for the love i know i've missed
please, don't blame me for wishing selfishly
for the love i know i've missed

everything is nothing
i used to dream
of diamonds and pearls
throwing my arms
around the whole wide
world
fancy parties
and fancier friends
a chauffeur for my
mercedes benz
and it's been a
long time comin'
but well worth the wait
cuz every time i close my eyes
i can't believe it's true
cuz everything i ever
dreamed
is nothing , next to you
everything is nothing next to you
i used to wish
on my lucky stars
i'd be drinkin' champagne
and eatin' caviar
when that texas moon
smiled down on me
and i fell in your arms
i knew i had everything
and it's been a
long time comin'
and it's been worth the wait
cuz every time i close my eyes
i can't believe it's true
cuz everything i ever
dreamed
is nothing , next to you
and it's been a
long time comin'
and it's been well worth the wait
you are truly something
only heaven could create
cuz every time i close my eyes
i can't believe it's true
cuz everything. i ever dreamed
is nothing , next to you
everything is nothing next to you
|
i've got to see you again
it's past my bedtime
i can't sleep alone
holding my pillow
watching the phone
i miss your smile
i crave your soul
lord knows i've tried
but i can't let go, i
can't let go
i've got to see you again
i've got to be with you baby
seems like an eternity
since you were holding me
i've got to see you again
thought i was strong
i would not bend
but you broke right through
this heart i defend
the touch of your hand
a kiss from your lips
no other man
could make me like this
i've got to see you again
i've got to be with you baby
seems like an eternity
since you were holding me
i've got to see you again
and i've read every book
everything i could find
but nothing gives me
nothing gives me peace of mind
like an angel came to
me and deemed it so
i belong in your arms, i belong to your soul
i've got to see you again
i've got to be with you baby
seems like an eternity
since you were holding me
i've got to see you again

make my move
well the sun's stopped shinin''
and the winds pickin'' up
the birds stopped singin''
and the waters gettin'' rough
i can smell it in the air
this storm is lookin' way too tough
it's time to make my move
hey you know i love you
and i'd love to hang around
but i gotta jump this ship
before the ship goes down
now i promise you i'll visit
the next time that i'm in town
but it's time to make my move
i know i said forever
back in - paradise
but this - change in the weathers'
got me runnin' for my life
we're both - drownin'' honey
in a sea of love gone bad
/baby we just /ain't got
what we/ once thought that we /had
the clouds are rollin'' in
i feel the raindrops on my face
and the thunder in my heart
as we share our last embrace
please help me to be strong
help me exit now with grace
cause baby it's time to make my move
you know that it's time to make my move
oh it's time to make my move
time to make my move
it's time

bone in your back
how do you do it
with no bone in your back
how can you stand there
i guess you just adapt
i thought i knew you
my love... i could tell
i was wrong and apparently
you were way off as well
i'm not the one
to pine away year after year
in fact i haven't thought about you
since the last time you were here
and i promise you
i wont ever again
i'm holding my
ground
and i'm not giving in
and i promise you
i wont ever again
i've played at
your game
and now i don't care to win
so how do you do it
with no bone in your back
disappear with no trace
then pull this out of your hat
you lie in my face
your 'quiet desperation' act
and persistently claim
no plan of attack
but i can see through
those old enemy lines
and your not taking me
i wont go down this time
years make you wiser
that's what they say
still there's a clean clean cut
i can't make go away
and i'm well aware
yea, i know the costs
cuz' we've both been there
and we both know i lost
so how do you do it
with no bone in your back
push to the edge
and keep your heart intact
how do you do it
and so shamelessly succeed
well however you do it darlin''
it wont be to me

the real thing
like a ghost he softly floats on in
the light reflecting off his skin
white on white he disappears
you wouldn't know he's sitting here
reds and yellows start to bloom
as he clones the color of the room
the perfect shade -he blends right in
he's everyone's chameleon friend
so tell me now
who do i see
is this the real thing
smiling back at me
there's nothing here
nothing better
than the real thing
walking through a field of green
he blends into another scene
above the pastel clouds float by
he used to have the strength to fly
twisted up in reds and blues
too many years of different hues
shade on shade his soul turns black
please, baby bring my white sun back
so tell me now
who do i see
is this the real thing
smiling back at me
there's nothing here
nothing better
than the real thing

satisfy me
to ease this lonely feeling
there's nothing i wont do
abandon time and reason
to get back to you
cuz' you lift up my soul
and make my heart skip
don't need a net below
i want to fall into your lips
you see my arms are open
and my legs are weak
satisfy me, don't be shy
satisfy me, try try try
you move so close
like you're movin' in
i can feel your breath
dancing on my skin
i can hear the animal
screaming from inside
i can't help myself
like a baby i still cry
you see my arms are open
and my legs are weak
satisfy me, don't be shy
satisfy me, try try try
satisfy me, don't Deny
satisfy me, satisfy me

out of the blue
i can smell the rain on the horizon
i can feel the clouds before they roll on in
i've always been the one to run for cover
before the first drop hits my skin
out of the blue
out of the clear blue sky
without a clue
you never even said good-bye
now i'm missin' you
out of the blue
cold and wet i'm still here waiting
sure the sun will come again some day
and i can still here your voice saying
you would never walk away
out of the blue
out of the clear blue sky
without a clue
you never even said good-bye
now i'm missin' you
out of the blue
like stevie says the sky is crying
can you see the tears rolling down the street
and i've got a real real bad feeling
love wont be coming back for me
|
come on in and play
here we go
in the skin
we won't let
the party end
pull the shade
lock the door
don't be afraid
what you don't know
twist your arm
tempt the soul
take my hand
and there we go
crash and burn
lets hit the floor
the sun comes up
and we'll dance some more
come on in come on in come on in
and play
shake me down
sedate my head
it's friday night
lets paint it red
push the wall
up the score
give it in baby
and let it pour
come on in come on in come on in
come on in come on in come on in
and play
found my god
deep within
natures call
essential sin
in my ear
for ever more
no more fear
just feel the flow
come on in come on in come on in
come on in come on in come on in
come on in come on in come on in
and play
