"This Is My Night"

"This Is My Night"


(Tonight, ah, tonight)

I'm puttin' on my makeup
It's time to wake up
The owners of the night are calling me
I'm ready and I'm willing
To pull out the happy feeling
Something special's in the air for me

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
An angel in my pocket, right?
Feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
Gonna let this magic shine

[Chorus:]
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine

I feel like winning
I don't know the reason
Something telling me to let it ride
Got me rockin' and reeling
I don't know what the deal is
Something special I just can't describe

The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
On my way to paradise
Feels so fine
Feels just like the first time
Gonna gonna let this magic shine

[Chorus]

This is my night, this is my night, this is my night
The night is young, let it shine (come out)
This is, this is my night, this, this is my night!
This is my my my my my night, my my my...

This feels so right
This mirror's tellin' no lie
I'm gonna let this magic shine
Let it shine, let it shine

This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (my night)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine)
This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine, oh)
My night, let it shine This is my night (tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (let it shine on me, shine on me)

"This Time"

"This Time"



One heart
One hand
One woman
One man
To love
To live together

This time
This place
This lifelong embrace
Could last
Could be forever

This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time

To trust
To care
To dream and
To dare
Believe in
Something better

This time
Endings don't apply
No broken hearts
No crying eyes
This time
No emptiness for us
Just you and I
In love this time

Here because the angels smiled on us
The angels smiled on us...this time
Here because we're the ones who shine
We're the ones who shine...this time

"Through The Fire"

"Through The Fire"


I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun

When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go

[Chorus:]
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire

I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye

When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go

[Chorus]

Through the test of time

[Chorus]

Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever

"Tight Fit"

"Tight Fit"



I'm looking for love, dear love
And I'm searching high and low, oh
I need me someone to wrap his arms around me
And to never let me go

I found a man who seemed to be just right
He took my love and then he said goodbye
Now I, spend my nights alone, looking for my

Tight fit, Tight fit
Got to find me the right fit
Tight fit, Tight fit
Got to find me the right fit
Tight fit, Tight fit
Looking high and low, yeah

I went to him, down with the fever
And you know, he had the cure, yes he did
He held my heart in palm of his hand
And he made me feel secure (I knew he would)

He seemed to be having so much fun
The clock struck one and then he had to run
Now I spend my nights alone, looking for my...

"To Sir With Love"

"To Sir With Love"



Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'

The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart 'To Sir, With Love'

"Too Much Love"

"Too Much Love"


You know our love is driftin'
We have fallen from its grace
We've got to face the situation
Put things in their place

You're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

[Chorus:]
But I've got so much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
So much love for you
It's too much love
And I just don't want to throw it away

I've got to sacrifice my feelings
To make you find your own
I think it's time to end it
You might be better off alone

Oh, you're still the man
You know just where you stand
But the way you felt for me is gone
There's no more truth to your song

(There's something you've got to know)
When it's over, it's over
If it's done, then, baby, it's done
But there's nowhere to go
If we leave it all behind

Too much love
Too much love
Too much love...

"Twisted"

"Twisted"



Here, certified unsound I feel like you
There's someone I've found, so far he's true

Out of me there's a voice which keeps calling
I'm hiding alone, crazy I know, and I am
Tied to your strings and twisted
I'm just waiting to show the others who know
And I am tied to your strings and twisted

So medication still the devil in me
So into make believe, your smile I see

Out of me there's a voice which keeps calling
I'm hiding alone, crazy I know, and I am
Tied to your strings and twisted
I'm just waiting to show the others who know
That I am tied to your strings and twisted

Hold me in this tiny room sedated here I'll stay
Next to me, I beg of you don't throw the key away

Out of me there's a voice which keeps calling
I'm hiding alone, crazy I know, and I am
Tied to your strings and twisted
I'm just waiting to show the others who know
That I am tied to your strings and twisted

I'm hiding alone, crazy I know, and I am
Tied to your strings and twisted
I'm just waiting to show all the others who know
That I am tied to your strings and twisted

I'm going crazy, boy, look out
(Tied to your strings and twisted) Look out, boy

"Watching The World"

"Watching The World"


Rockets launch us to outer space
Far away from this human wasteland
We're bringing heaven to other worlds
Abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we can't live here as one
There are wise men who say it still can be done

[Chorus:]
I'm watching the world
I'm watching the change in power
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?

We will harvest the fields of wheat
For a promise of food to eat
Forging plows to make swords for war
We can stop this fighting and open the door

Only fools could believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done

[Chorus:]
Who is watching this world?
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still?

Watching the world
Only fools would believe we can't live here as one
Who's to say it cannot be done

[Chorus:]
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
Are we building a future or just standing still? (just standing still)
Watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
We're watching the world
We're building a future
We're not standing still
I'm watching the world
Who is changing the balance of power?
I'm watching the world
We're building a future
I'm not standing still
I'm watching this world

Watching the world [7x]

"We Can Work It Out"

"We Can Work It Out"



Life is very short
And there's no time
For fussing and fighting
So I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking
Until I can't go on
Boy you see it your way
You run the risk of knowing
That our love will soon be gone

We can work it out
We can work it out

Hear what you're saying
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's alright
Hear what I'm saying
We can work it out
And when it's straight, we'll say good night

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short
And there's no time
For fussing and fighting
I've have ways thought
That it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right
Or if I am wrong
Boy you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short
And there's no time, no time
For fussing and fighting
I've have ways thought
That it's a crime (dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty)
So I will ask you once again

"We Got Each Other"

"We Got Each Other"


[Chorus:]
Walkin' hand and hand
As only lovers can
You must understand
We've got each other
They can scream and fuss
It won't bother us
And that is because
We've got each other

I can recall memories we shared
Such love, none other could compare
Do you remember when you were loving me?
Holding me? How could this love not be?

[Chorus]

Lost in dreams, I spend the hours
Scared in the dark, in a room that once was ours
Do you remember when you were loving me?
Holding me? How could this love not be?

We are one sharing each other's dreams
With a love that only we could bring

I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you too)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you)
We've got each other
I've got you (I've got you too)
We've got each other
We've got each other

We've got stride for stride
Movin' side by side
With a strength and pride
We've got each other
They can scream and fuss
It won't break our trust
What we've got is us
We've got each other
We've got each other
We've got each other
