"Born To Break My Heart"

"Born To Break My Heart"

You were born to break
You were born to break
You were born to break my heart

The same kitchen, the same eyes
The same reaction to the same lies
It was not so long ago,
A most auspicious start
And only now I know
You were born to break my heart
Born to break my heart...

"Guilt Trip," I can hear you say
"Get a grip girl, you've lost your way
You don't begin to understand
I guess it's time we part
And don't be usin' that old cliche:
'you were born to break my heart'
You were born to break my heart"

No wonder we looked like the perfect couple
It was brilliantly conceived
It seems I have a yen to lose
And you can't pass up the perfect
Chance to leave

The same plot, the same rain
Just as stubborn as a fool
You'd think I might get smart
But here I am, cursed, to seek love again
From yet another cold heart

You were born to break my heart,
Born to break my heart

"Boys In The Trees"
(feat. James Taylor)

"Boys In The Trees"
(feat. James Taylor)

I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
The low beam room with the window looking out
On the soft summer garden
Where the boys grew in the trees

Here I grew guilty
And no one was at fault
Frightened by the power in every innocent thought
And the silent understanding passing down
From daughter to daughter
Let the boys grow in the trees

Do you go to them or do you let them come to you
Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
And live like a flower
While the boys grew in the trees

Last night I slept in sheets the colour of fire
Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
And watch by the window
Where the boys grew in the trees

"By Myself / I See Your Face Before Me"

"By Myself / I See Your Face Before Me"

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of Romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance
I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone

I see your face before me
Clouding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme

It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Over me
If you could share the magic
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me

"Can't Give It Up"
(feat. Luther Vandross)

"Can't Give It Up"
(feat. Luther Vandross)

I've been saying that I'd
Leave well enough alone
Now I'm behaving
Like I'm begging you for a bone
When it feels good you can't help it
You just hang by the phone
And it felt that good last night
I can't give it up

You come on like a prince
You got everyone convinced
That you're a prince of a man
But I'm the one who knows you
I'm the one you show that you
Don't give a damn
Can't give it up, oh no, can't give it up

I've been dreaming you'd fall in love with me
No cold blooded scheming
If it could be that easy
But you still fight it
And I must like it
That I have to reach for what I want
And as long as it feels that good
I can't give it up

I don't want to want you
I don't want to want you
'Cause you can't give, can't give
No, I don't want you cause you
Can't give....

"Catch It Like A Fever"

"Catch It Like A Fever"

If you want someone bad enough
You can catch it like a fever
And it's the last thing in the world you want,
But you can catch it like a fever
And it;s the only thing
That's left of you
And you can catch it like a fever
The habit and the curse
You're not here,
Yet I have swallowed you whole

"Christmas Is Almost Here"

"Christmas Is Almost Here"

There's a hand that's old and rough
And it's holding on
To one that's new and small
Whose life has just begun
Hand in hand
Young and old
Calm each others fears
Christmas is almost here

There's a rocky road ahead
Two people walk alone
Wondering in the fading light
If they can find their home
When hope is almost gone
A distant light appears
Christmas is almost here

Almost here for those in doubt
For those who must remain
Left behind when love goes cold
And shifting life makes change

Almost here for dreamers
Who think that there's a chance
That they will find their music
And a partner for the dance

There's a dream that doesn't die
Now we walk as one
Justice has a gentle hand
And love is like the sun

The darkest night is past
And by the stars we steer
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here

"Come Back Home"

"Come Back Home"

Summer time, kids in the street
We were up on the roof laughing at the heat
that was the last I ever saw of you

Now it's December, cold and dark
No more rainbows over Central Park
In this house no window has a view
There's no love here without you

[Chorus]
When you gonna come back home
When you gonna see it's been too long
When you gonna come back home to me

Standin' at the door and I turn the key
I'm holding my breath half expecting to see
you lyin' on the bed, smilin' up at me
I'm goin' crazy 'cause I just don't know
Which way your heart's gonna go
I only pray it leads you back to me
Darlin' let your heart
Lead you back to me

"Come Upstairs"

"Come Upstairs"

Sitting in a car here
After a party where we've seen
Everyone we've known for years
Well I've known you for years
Oh but now it's all changed
And all of my feelings
Have been rearanged

[Chorus:]
Come upstairs
We'll be all alone
Come upstairs
No one will know
Come upstairs
We can take of the phone
Come upstairs
You can take of my clothes

Say that it feels good
Maybe too good to say that it feels like a dream
You want to knock on some wood
Well I'll give you some wood
And I'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And I will show you my desire

Come upstairs
We'll have a few laughs
Come upstairs
We'll take a bath
Come upstairs
It's only one flight
Come upstairs
You can stay overnight

I'll give you some wood
Yeah, I'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And I will show you my desire

[Chorus]

"Comforting To Know"
(feat. Ben Taylor, Renee Fleming)

"Comforting To Know"
(feat. Ben Taylor, Renee Fleming)

When the heart of the hundred acre wood is beating
And time is passing through
There's a shadow looking like a rainbows halo
And there I'm resembling you

More than fame
A name on a tree
More than power or might
Sweeter than the treats of a honey bee
I'll be here through the night

It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know

Silent as the moon at dawn
Soothing as a bed filled with hay
Strong as a hero in the land of old
I'll be here through the day

It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know

Greyer than gloom on a rainy afternoon
Sadder than being sorry for me
Finer than finding my tail again
I'll be here for all of thee

It's comforting to know
It's comforting to know

You only get a few good friends in this life
Who are devoted and true
And right here in this now and near
It's clear that it's all of you

I'll find you when you're hard to see
I'll look for you everywhere
You'll know just how I'm feeling when
I show you that I care

It's comforting to know
It's so comforting to know

"Coming Around Again"

"Coming Around Again"

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

[Chorus]
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the Souffl
