"Love Dance"

"Love Dance"


From too much talk to silent touches
Sweet touches
We turned our hearts to love
Then tried it, first time romance
There in the quiet, love learns to dance

We loved, we slept, we left the lights on
The night's gone and morning
Finds us caught in life's most sensible trance
Turn up the quiet, love wants to dance

Old songs, a new life
And hearts that understand like ours
And old dreams find young wings
In silence, in silence

From too much talk to loving touches
Love touches
When pure emotion takes the moment
We take the chance
Turn up the quiet, love wants to dance

Love wants to dance

"Love Of My Life"

"Love Of My Life"


You are the love of my life
I knew it right from the start
The moment I looked at you
You found a place in my heart

You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You taught me how to be strong
With you is where I belong

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you

You are the love of my life
The heart and sould of my life
Once I was lost and alone
With you at last I am home

You are the love of my life
You give me reason to live
You give me so much of you
And leave me room to be free

No one's ever touched me
Quite the way you touched me
People search a life time
To find what we have

You are the love of my life
One thing that's good in this life
And in a world full of change
One thing I'm sure of

You are the love of my life
The one thing that makes sense in this world
I'll spend the rest of my days
Just loving you

You are the love of my life
And I thank god I'm alive
To spend my lifetime with you
You are the love of my life

"Love X Love"

"Love X Love"


I remember the days when we never had a dime
And our dreams seemed a million miles away
But we made it baby, facin' the bad times with a smile
Here we are and we're growin' stronger day by day

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side

'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night

So my lady whisper the words I love to hear
Cuddle up and I'll make you feel all right
'Cause I need you baby to carry me on through all the years
So come on baby close the door and dim the lights

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side

'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night

And there ain't no one in this world tonight
Can change my point of view
So come on girl and hold me tight
The way you always do with love times me and you

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side

'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night

'Cause we got love times love
It's always there for us to share
And girl it sure feels good
To know you're by my side

'Cause we're just two high hearts
That beat as one forever on
With love times love
To keep us satisfied every night

We got love
It sure feels good
Carry me on through all the years
Keep me satisfied

"Lovin' On Borrowed Time"

"Lovin' On Borrowed Time"


I can't be sure, but I think our love is slipping away,
Where did it go? The passion we had yesterday?
Was it something I've done? I can't read your mind.
Is there somebody new? Am I lovin' on borrowed time?

You hold me close, but you seem a million miles away.
That look in your eyes, the times you've got nothing to say.
I've got to know, are you really mine?
Don't torment me: am I lovin' on borrowed time?

Don't beat me up, that would be unkind,
Baby, tell me for real.
Is my mind playing tricks on my heart and soul,
To cause the way that I feel?

That when you kiss, the magic that once was here,
What used to rock our world, at times seems so insincere.
Is it too late to save? Have we crossed that line?
Let's not go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.

Just tell me, girl, where your comin' from,
You can be honest with me.
Is my heart playin' tricks on my mind this time,
Through my insecurity?

You're still my love, no matter where I our road may lead.
I guess that time will tell, if you and I were meant to be.
I wouldn't change a thing, and that's the fault of mine.
Don't let me go one more day, lovin' on borrowed time.

Ohhhhh
There's a chill wind blowin'
Oooooo
Lovin' on borrowed time.

"Masquerade Is Over"

"Masquerade Is Over"


My blue horizon is turning grey
And my dreams are drifting away

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes

You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

[Instrumental interlude]

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes

You look the same, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

"Medicine Man"

"Medicine Man"


This town has no mercy
When you're on your own
When there's no one close to you
No place to call your home
In the back alley shadows
My body yearns, the pain it grows
A needle holds the solution
Feel the sting no let it flow
A dangerous game - no place to hide
I'm looking for you to keep me satisfied

Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore

I need a shot of satisfaction
My body aches - my blood runs cold
I need a killer chain reaction
That's gonna rock me to the bone
I'm burnin' inside - I'm under the gun
You got what it takes - you know you're the one

Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore

A dangerous game - no plave to hide
I'm lookin' for you to keep me satisfied

Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore

"Midnight Love Affair"

"Midnight Love Affair"


You stare at him at night and think of schemes
I stay with her each night but you're in my dreams
You tellin' him that you're goin' out just to meet some friends
I wonder if this treachery will ever ever end

We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair

You have a little boy, you really love
I have a little daughter that I place no one above
If by chance you see me walkin down the street
You know that eyes like ours should never ever meet

We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair

Just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair

Hang ups cause a slip of tongue
Let that make us come undone
Little white lies we tell our friends
Hold our love until the end

We never seem to quit the lies
We live inside a crimson sky
We love each other in our mind
An answer is what we must find

We're just a midnight love affair
We get together and go nowhere
I'd really like to tell the world we care
But we're just another late night love affair

"Missing You"

"Missing You"


Every day baby
Every day
I am missing you!

Every day I want to pick up the phone

Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you

I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm the ring without a hand
I'm missing you

Every day baby
Every day
I am missing you!

Every day I wanna pick up the phone

Like a cold summer afternoon
Like the snow coming down in June
Like a wedding without a groom
I'm missing you

I'm the desert without the sand
You're the woman without a man
I'm the ring without a hand
I'm missing you

Every day baby
Every day

Every day baby
Every day
I am missing you!

Like a cold summer afternoon
I am missing you!

Every day baby
Every day
I am missing you!

"Moody's Mood"

"Moody's Mood"


There I go, there I go, there I go
There I go

Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave

You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave

Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you

Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?

That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?

What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?

Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet

Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in
And you can blow now if you want to

We're through.
