Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean

Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean


(Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: Hugh Murphy/ Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe

You asked me to come
And so here I am
Has everything gone
According to plan
Don't know what to play
But something still burns
As soon as we touch again
That feeling returns
A little confused
But better by far
To be lovers again
'Cause that's what we are, it's like

*I'm (just) sitting on the edge of the ocean
Walking a very fine line
Laying my cards on the table
Got to be honest this time
I'm just sitting on the edge of the ocean
Telling it all to the sea
Baby, you know that I love you
But I want you to know that I'm me

I knew him before
Before I met you
He was my first love
So what could I do
I've opened my heart
Now you know it all
You want me to stay
You've only to call, it's like

*repeat

Sometimes When We Touch

Sometimes When We Touch


(Dan Hill)
Producers for Bonnie: Hugh Murphy/ Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe

You ask me if I love you
I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
Or what you say or do
When I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

*And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
That I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the feelings subside

Romance with all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
And through the insecurity
Some tenderness abides
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within his youth

*repeat

Oh at times I want to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I want to Break through
And hold you endlessly

*repeat

Soon Will Be Too Late

Soon Will Be Too Late


(Per Andreasson/ Pernilla Emme)
Producer for Bonnie: Jimmy Smyth

Morning has broken with silence in my room
Eyes have been opened with pain beneath the moon
Feelings that are colder than ice upon a rock
Endless nights of anger and hours filled with talk

Beauty of a lifetime a crystal-clear romance
Were supposed to be mine and join me in a dance
Days were filled with pleasure no clouds were in my sight
Love was our treasure that no one could deny...

But where do we go for here??
Soon will be too late
to go anywhere from here...
Soon will be too late...

Hopefully dreaming that love will still survive
Deep within me a song that never ever dies
All those days of passion and all those lonely nights
Must have been worth something, they lightened up my life

Come and lay beside me let gentle love be real
Look into my eyes for this is how I feel
Let me wipe your tears away you don't need to be sad
Share with me your dreams that once were all we had

But where do we go for here??
Soon will be too late
to go anywhere from here...
Soon will be too late...
Where do we go from here??
Soon will be too late
Where do we go from here??
Soon will be too late
Where do we go from here??
Soon will be too late
Where do we go from here??
Soon will be too late
Where do we go??
Where do we go??
Soon will be too late

Stay

Stay


(Jennifer Blake)
Producer for Bonnie: Jennifer Blake

Oh I know - You've been fooling with my heart
Cause deep inside - You don't know where to start
So insecure - Of what tomorrow will
Oh please be sure - You're my all and everything
You've heard it all before
- I'm asking you once more

To baby stay - Stay for a lifetime
Don't go away - Oh baby be mine
Cause I know - I'll always be loving you
Oh baby stay - With me forever
For we were born - To be together
Cause we are strong - I've always believed in you

Oh I know - Strange things happen every day
This love will grow - You're the light to guide my way
Don't be afraid - I'll never let you down
Please won't you stay - Have faith in this love that we've found
Don't throw this love away - Oh baby won't you stay

Oh baby stay - With me forever
For we were born - To be together
Cause we are strong - I've always believed in you
Oh baby stay - Stay for a lifetime
Don't go away - Baby be mine
Cause I know - I'll always be loving you

Straight From The Heart

Straight From The Heart


(Bryan Adams/ Eric Kagna)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

INSTRUMENTAL

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as lknow
It's coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Streets of Little Italy

Streets of Little Italy


(Robbie Seidman)
Producer for Bonnie: Desmond Child

The narrow and the winding ways
The streets of old New York
The families, the street life, the spark
The rooftop where we watched
San Gennaro's festival
Masquerades in the dark...
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

The oceans and the years
That separate our lives
From these streets we once called our home
Those distances of space and time
How strong they are
And how weak they are...
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

Does the morning sunlight
Still hit the bed where we used to lie
Do the sidewalk stands and markets still overflow
Where I lingered till I was empty
Where I stayed till I had to go
Though in the night
Sometimes I see you disappear
Down cobblestones...

On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
Like your presence in my bones
On the streets down in little Italy

Take a Chance

Take a Chance


(Dieter Bohlen)
Producers for Bonnie: Dieter Bohlen & Luis Rodriguez

Rain is such a lonely sound
Falling on the ground
You're slipping away
You're slipping away

Driving through the midnight rain
Oh I call your name
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay

*Take a chance it lasts forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance
The greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another

Take a chance
My lonely heart is in your hands

Please don't tell me it's the end
And we can't be friends
You're slipping away
You're slipping away

If you ever change your mind
Oh I'll give you time
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay

(* Repeat)

Take a chance and don't be cruel
Oh I'm waiting just for you
Take a chance and take my soul
Take a chance, oh baby
We should lose control

(* Repeat)

Oh yeah

Take Another Look at Your Heart

Take Another Look at Your Heart


(Desmond Child/ Michael Bolton)
Producer for Bonnie: Desmond Child

There must be somethin' that we can share
Why is it all or nothin' everywhere
You got your life and I got mine
Why's our relationship hangin' on the line
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say....

Baby, take another look at your heart
And tell me you don't want me
Baby, tell me you're not comin' apart
I can hold out 'til you break
Baby take another look at your heart
You're breakin' up, that's no surprise
So much invested in our so-called "love lives"
Give it up, heart over mind
You can't explain away
The tears you been cryin'
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say

Take Me Back

Take Me Back


(Billy Cross)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

You said it's over now
It's just not right
You said there's a better place for you to be
It's not with me
Then you turned and walked away
I can't believe what I see
And I can't go to sleep at night when I think of how it used to be

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

She takes you out in style
She treats you right
She gives you all the things I never could, she's so good
But don't you think of me
Baby late at night
And I just can't take it boy, together we could be so right

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
All those things we did before
Whatever happened to them
And all those things I've been living for
Gotta start 'em all over again

You said it couldn't last
That we were meant to part
A guy like you and a girl like me didn't stand a chance - not from the start
But then you looked at me
I had to ask you why
As I see and try to find out why you left me for those hungry eyes

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
Ooh you're gonna take me
Take me back
Ooh you're gonna take me
Take me back
Ooh you're gonna take me
Take me back...

Tears

Tears


(Frankie Miller)
Producer for Bonnie: Jim Steinman

Such a long time ago
Now I know
You've woke up to find
You were wrong
There ain't no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind

You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me you've changed, after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...

CHORUS
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love

I was glad
To be with you
Near to you
My heart can't deny
I was sad
To leave your side
Stripped of pride
When you said goodbye
For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
It's over, the thing we had is gone, and it's...

CHORUS - INSTRUMENTAL

To tell me you've changed brought tears to my eyes
Say you've rearranged after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...

CHORUS-REPEAT AND FADE
