Making Up For Lost Time

I see you standing by the light in the window in my bedroom
That old moon has never shined as bright as it’s shining now on you
I see a new star in the heavens for us tonight
I’ve been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we’re together and we’re where we belong
I can’t help but wonder why, why did it take so long

Sometimes it takes too much time to find
The right one to say I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine, be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach
The right one to say here’s where I wanna be
Oh, what you mean to me when we’re making love
I’ll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up (making up) for lost time

I turn around and get lost in the look that you give to me
I looked away when I hear you say you only lived to find me
Darling let me hold you in my arms, darling oh so tight
I’ve been waiting for you most of my life

Now that we’re together and we’re where we belong
I can’t help but wonder why, why did it take so long

Sometimes it takes too much time to find
The right one to say I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine, be with you all the time
And be the only light in your eyes that ever shines

Sometimes it takes too many roads to reach
The right one to say here’s where I wanna be
Oh, what you mean to me when we’re making love
I’ll spend the rest of my life with you making up for lost time
Making up (making up) for lost time
Whenever spent together, lost time
It’s better late than never, lost time
You know we’ll be everything making up (making up) for lost time
Whenever spent together, lost time
It’s better late than never, lost time

Me Against The Night

Moon, please don’t shine on me
Help me hide his memory
Stars, don’t light the midnight skies
Cos you don’t wanna see me cry

Heart, don’t let me think of him
Lock your door, don’t let his memory in
I feel the cold wind blowing through
A love like this was meant for two

But it’s me against the night
And I’m afraid it’s a losing fight
I see you in every shadow of the room
You’re not here to hold me tight
I can’t wait til the morning light
There’s no way to win
When it’s me against the night

Gone, you said you’d never be
And I let you belong with me
Burning tears fall down like rain
Longing for your love again

But it’s me against the night
And I’m afraid it’s a losing fight
I see you in every shadow of the room
You’re not here to hold me tight
I can’t wait til the morning light
There’s no way to win
When it’s me against the night
Me against the night

More Than Love

Love isn’t enough in troubled times
Takes a whole lot of understanding and truth
Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love

Having to slowly count to ten
Knowing you’re right and still giving in
Learning how to say you’re wrong, that’s the hardest part of all
It takes more, more, more than love

Love keeps growing, getting stronger every day
Long after the honeymoon is over, Love has to find a way
To carry on, even in the darkest hour, when you really need a friend
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love

Keeping heart and soul alive, making it through every day
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes more, more, more than love
It takes so much more, more, more than love

More than love, mmm
When you really need a friend
Oh, it takes more than love
Oh, it takes more than love

Nobody Should Have To Love This Way

Well it looks like I’m in line
For another lonely night
And I don’t know where it all went wrong
Or what it’ll take to make it right
So I sit by the window
And I watch the rain fall
And you don’t call

Nobody should have to love this way
Nobody should have to love this way

It’s been a long time since you held me
And really made it feel like love
And it feels like I’m just hanging on
But I just can’t give it up
So I lie in the darkness
When we’re together
And I remember


Nobody should have to love this way
Nobody should have to love this way

Is this the way other lovers live
No-one should have to give
So much love with no love in return
A love as true as mine
Deserves to feel returned in kind
Oh, but my heart never learns

So I sleep with the memory
Curled up beside me
And the need inside me

Nobody should have to love this way
Nobody should have to love this way
Nobody should have to love this way

Once In A Very Blue Moon

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checking if I was okay
And if I miss you, boy you know what they say

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon

No need to tell me you’d like to be friends
And help me get back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well it’s just now and then

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon


There’s a blue moon shining
When I’m reminded of all we’ve been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you

You act as if it never hurt you at all
Like I’m the only one who’s getting up from a fall
Don’t you remember, can’t you recall

Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming, feel one coming
I feel one coming on soon

One More Time (karneval)

It’s early in the morning down in the small cafe
The waiters stand there yawning, the people drift away
But just before I go now so reluctantly
Mr. Piano player please do one thing for me…

(Chorus)
One more time, play that song, one more time.
When I hear it play, my spirits start to climb.
I can quote every note, every rhyme,
‘cause it takes me way back when,
To the one who loved me then.
Won’t you play that song again, just one more time.


He always used ot call me, it seems like yesterday
We’d listen to the music and dance the night away
It’s many many years now since we made the break
Please be fore I leave now, just for old times’ sake…

Chorus

The words are very simple, You know the melody
So won’t you sing along with me…

Chorus 3 times: very slow, faster, even faster, fade

One More Try For Love

You can live it up
Cos it’s so easy just to give it up
But we never learn
Til we’re past the point of no return
Say goodbye
Spend your heart so you can see your pride

Take one more try for love
One more do or die for love
Win, lose or tie for love
One more try for love

Do I read your love
Even though I may not need your love
Pray for me in my hour of need
Then pray for me
Do your best
If that’s not good enough then raise your price


Take one more try for love
One more do or die for love
Win, lose or tie for love
One more try for love

You can call it quits
When you know for sure that’s all there is
Win, lose or tie for love
Take one more try for love
One more do or die for love

Take one more try for love
One more do or die for love
Win, lose or tie for love
One more try for love

Take one more try for love
One more do or die for love
Win, lose or tie for love
One more try for love

Talking In Your Sleep

Three o’clock in the morning
And it looks like it’s going to be
another sleepless night
I’ve been listening to your dreams
and getting very low
Wondering what I can do

Maybe I’m being foolish
cause I haven’t heard you mention
anybody’s name at all
How I wish I could be sure
it’s me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I’ve heard it said that dreamers never lie

(chorus)
You’ve been talking in your sleep
Sleepin’ in your dreams
With some sweet lover
Holding on so tight
Lovin’ her the way
You used to love me
Talkin’ in your sleep
with lovin’ on your mind

Maybe I’m being foolish
cause I haven’t heard you mention
anybody’s name at all
How I wish I could be sure
it’s me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I’ve heard it said that dreamers never lie

(chorus)

You’ve been talkin’ in your sleep

The Other Side Of Me

You think you know me pretty well
But how can you tell
You never get inside my head
The times we talk, we never speak
We play hide and seek
So many things I left unsaid

Why can’t you see what’s on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to you
Sweet thoughts and dreams
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
That wind and bend, rivers with no end
Flowing on the other side of me

It seems I always get unstrung
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out something else
I’m so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away
I have to hide behind myself


Why can’t you see what’s on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to you
Why must I hide these feelings that have been denied
Only you can set me free
See what’s on the other side of me

La, la, la, la, la, la…
I have to hide behind myself

Why can’t you see what’s on the other side of me
The side of me that reaches out to you
Why must I hide these feelings that have been denied
Only you can set me free
See what’s on the other side of me
On the other side of me
On the other side of me
On the other side of me

The Woman In Me

Seems to me no matter what I do
I pick the wrong time to do it
In a minute I will be alright
If you will let me think it through
I could comb my hair and walk right out of here so fast
Let the silence tell you that I’ve grown up at last

You’ll never break the woman in me
Though you might break the smile
You’ll never hurt the woman in me
But you might hurt the child

Can I help it if it feels good
To have your arms wrapped around me
When you touch me I’m a little girl
And there’s so much that I still need
Give me room to touch my own heart, I’m not sweet
I could fly away and leave you with a kiss on the cheek

You’ll never break the woman in me
Though you might break the smile
You’ll never hurt the woman in me
But you might hurt the child

You’ll never break the woman in me
Though you might break the smile
You’ll never hurt the woman in me
But you might hurt the child
