"Strangers In The Night"

"Strangers In The Night"


Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and...
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
La da da da da...

"Take My Heart"

"Take My Heart"


You say you're finished with love
That you'll never love again as long as you live
But believe me, you'll love me again
If for once you find it in your heart to forgive
Take my Heart
I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love goes far
You'll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong
Let's start, you can do it, if you take my heart
You'll begin to live again
Now that you've seen the bad side
There's a chance that you won't find the heart to forgive
But believe me, there's always the good side
In a world just made for us where lovers can live
Take my heart, I can undo all the wrong, let's start
Just a little bit of love, goes far, you'll begin to live again
Take my heart, come on back where you belong, let's start
You can do it if you take my heart, you'll begin to live again

"Tell It Like It Is"
(originally by Aaron Neville)



If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then baby I will girl you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I I I I I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
Mm mm, tell it like it is

"Ten Guitars"

"Ten Guitars"


I have a band of men and all they do is play for me
They come from miles around to hear them play a melody
Beneath the stars, my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love, this is what you do
Oh dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you'll know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you'll see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Guitars are made for love, my band of men will always say
So give them all a pretty girl and they will start to play
Beneath the stars, my ten guitars will play a song for you
And if you're with the one you love, this is what you do
Oh dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
And very soon you'll know just where you are
Through the eyes of love you'll see a thousand stars
When you dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Let me tell you now
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars
Come on everybody
Dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars

"The Hungry Years"

"The Hungry Years"


Girl we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
Two of us together
Building castles in the air
We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold ring from the carousel
How could we know the ride would turn out bad
Everything we wanted
Was everything we had
I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I now hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years
We shared our daydreams one by one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached the highest star
The things that we were after
Were much better from afar
Here we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing, too
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
Honey take me home
Let's go back to yesterday
I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I know hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years
I miss the hungry years

"The Last Waltz"

"The Last Waltz"


I wondered should I go or should I stay
The band had only one more song to play
And then I saw you out the corner of my eyes
A little girl alone and so shy
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
But the love we had was goin' strong
Through the good and bad we'd get along
And then the flame of love died in your eye
My heart was broke in two when you said goodbye
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
It's all over now
Nothing left to say
Just my tears and the orchestra playing
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
I had the last waltz with you
Two lonely people together
I fell in love with you
The last waltz should last forever
La la la la la la la la la la

"The Man I Want To Be"

"The Man I Want To Be"


Sometimes I feel a shadow fall across my heart
Sometimes the distance and the sadness is too hard
And you try your best to reach me but I can't reach back for you
I know that I'm not easy when there's just no getting through

I'm sorry if I ever made you feel unsure
Made you think I didn't love you anymore
When I don't know how to show it
When my heart is trying to hide
Darling can't you see it in my eyes

You are the light, you are the sun
You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong
And through it all you still love me
For the man I am and the man I want to be

When my troubles weigh me down you take the weight
Your love for me is like a bridge that never breaks
And for all my faults and failings you can see a better man
Somehow you still take me as I am

You are the light, you are the sun
You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong
And through it all you still love me
For the man I am and the man I want to be

You're the northern star that guides me
When the shoreline can't be found
You're the one that understands me
When the rain is coming down

You are the light, you are the sun
You are the one right thing when my whole world is wrong
And through it all you still love me
For the man I am and the man I want to be

You are the light, you are the sun
You are the spark of inspiration in my song
And through it all you still love me
For the man I am and the man I want to be
For the man I am and the man I want to be

"The Power Of Love"
(originally by Jennifer Rush)

"The Power Of Love"
(originally by Jennifer Rush)



The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
'Cause you're my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
'Cause you're my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
'Cause you're my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

"The Right Thing That We Do"

"The Right Thing That We Do"


No one believed me when you said good-bye
You took my heart away and made me cry
Thinking of the moment when love came passing through
You promised to love me the way I love you (the way I love you)
Burning the candle every day and night
Hoping that you will change your mind
Heaven knows I love you, oh please please understand
The right thing that we do is in your hands
You should never ever try to pretend
Do the right thing
Don't you know it only hurts in the end
Do the right thing
If you give me your love we can make a new start
Remember there's a place for you in my heart
No one believed me when you said good-bye
You took my heart away and made me cry
Thinking of the moment when love came passing through
You promised to love me the way I love you (the way I love you)
You should never ever try to pretend
Do the right thing
don't you know it only hurts in the end
Do the right thing
If you give me your love we can make a new start
Remember there's a place for you in my heart
No one believed me when you said good-bye
You took my heart away and made me cry
Thinking of the moment when love came passing through
You promised to love me the way I love you (the way I love you)
I'm burning the candle every day and night
Hoping that you will change your mind
Heaven knows I love you, oh please please understand
The right thing that we do is in your hands
The right thing that we do is in your hands
Nanana, nanana...

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"


The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will colour all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
