"The River's Rising"

"The River's Rising"


Deep down inside, trust me I've tried
To keep my feelings under
This time it's no use, my heart tells the truth
Whenever we're together

I feel your touch
I'm out of my mind
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible

The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up

I know what I need, it's no mystery
You're my destination
Before you it seemed, alone in a dream
Then suddenly awakened

To find your love
Right before my eyes
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible

The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up
Fill me up

I feel your touch
I'm out of my mind
I lose control
Nothing seems impossible

The river's rising
Take me to the top
The river's rising
I can't get enough
Let your love fill me up
Fill me up

"The Simple Things"

"The Simple Things"


Somewhere Along The Way
I Got Caught Up In The Race
I Kept Spinning And Turning
Lost Myself My Hope My Faith

We'Re Always Wanting More Than What We Have
And What I'Ve Learned Is All I Really Need Are...

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

Hey Everybody Don'T Get Me Wrong You Got To Understand
Ambition And Knowledge
Are The Seeds Of Every Woman And Man

It'S Good To Work... Work Hard And Prosper
As Long As You Take Time To Find...

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
That The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

[Solo]

This World Moves So Fast
Sometimes You Got To Slow Down, Down, Down
To Find Out What Its All About

We'Re Always Wanting More Than What We Have
What I'Ve Learned, Is What I Really Need A

The Simple Things
That Come Without A Price
The Simple Things
Like Happiness Joy And Love In My Life
I'Ve Seen It All From So Many Sides
And I Hope You Would Agree
The Best Things In Life
Are The Simple Things

"There Goes My Baby"
(originally by The Drifters)

"There Goes My Baby"
(originally by The Drifters)



There goes my baby
Moving on down the line
Wondering where, wondering where
He is bound

I broke his heart
And made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do

Just wanna know
Does he love me
Does he really love me
Or is he just playing
Me for a fool

I wonder why he left me
Why did he leave me so all alone
So all alone

I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide

I wanna know
Where is my baby
I want my baby
I need my baby

I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him

Beside my side
To be my guide

I wanna know where is my
Where is my baby
I need my baby
I need my baby

"This Is Your Life"

"This Is Your Life"


Gotta give it up
Gotta let it go
Cause hangin'n like this
Only breaks the flow
Gotta act as if
It's all for the best
Cause maybe it is and if it is
It's worth the test

You gotta pick your battles
You gotta let 'em roll
You gotta dig down deep
And trust your soul

This is your liffe
This is your day
Ain't no dress rehearsal
So get outta your way
Smell the roses

Dig the ride
You can't take it with you when you say goodbye
This is your life

Get outta your head
Get into your heart
Forgive and forget
Whatever you take too hard
Cause time is flyin'
And time won't wait
I've seen it all
Make no mistake

You can sit there in your cloud
Or you can open (up0 your eyes
Right noe
And you'll see
I'll be the first
You can believe
Trust in me

"Tonight"

"Tonight"


A Little Bit Of Hope, Gone To Far
A Little Bit Of Pain , Leaves A Scar
You Got Yours, I'Ve Got Yours

A Little Bit Of Dream, Disappears
When A Word Like Love
Offers So Much Fear
I'Ve Got Mine, You'Ve Got Mine

The Lines All Drawn, The Time Is Now
Love Will Show Us How

Tonight, We'Ll Cross That Great Divide
No Turning Back
Tonight, We'Ll Let Our Hearts Decide
Our Souls Will Follow
With A Little Bit Of Luck
We'Ll Take It Step By Step
If We Never Give It Up
We'Ll We Might Get There Yet

Tonight, We'Ll Let Our Hearts Decide
We'Ll Cross That Great Divide

When We Lose Our Trust
Can We Keep Our Faith
When It'S Up To Us Just To Dream This Way
I'Ve Got Mine You'Ve Got Mine
The Lines All Drawn, And The Time Is Now
Love Will Show Us How

Tonight, We'Ll Cross That Great Divide
No Turning Back
Tonight, We'Ll Let Our Hearts Decide
Our Souls Will Follow
With A Little Bit Of Luck
We'Ll Take It Step By Step
If We Never Give It Up
Well, We Might Get There Yet
Tonight We'Ll Let Our Hearts Decide
We'Ll Cross That Great Divide

"Too Cool"

"Too Cool"


Its too late
It's too late for tears
Cause you know tonight one thing is clear
I could sit at home and cry
Useless as it is
Or I can try to love again
I'll be too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I've learned from you
You've got to be (cool)
So long to yesterday
Goodbye is the price you pay
You think that I was the fool
But baby, you broke all the rules
Not too (cool)
I'm all right, I'll soon be better
Cause you know
Heart aches don't last forever
You went and left me cold
Searching for somebody new
But you'll come home
And when you do
I'll be, too cool
Too cool for words
Too cool, to ever get hurt, too cool
It's a lesson I learned from you
Got to be cool
Too cool
Too cool for words
Got to be cool
Too cool

"Trust In Me"

"Trust In Me"


[Verse 1 - Joe]
I see you turnin' the world in your hands
Just let it go
I've loved you better, than ever you wanted
Doesn't it show

[Bridge 1 - Joe]
You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Lookin' at the rain
A simple conversation
A helpless situation
Please let me explain

[Chorus 1 - Joe]
Trust In Me, when you're all alone
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
If lovin' me is what you need
Trust In Me

[Verse 2 - Joe]
Don't make it easy
I don't mind
There's somethin' I can do

[Verse 3 - Sass]
And just try to see what you see
And I'll be there for you

[Bridge 2 - Both]
You've been standin' at the window, day & night
Tell me what you see
Sun in the daytime
Moon at night
That's how easy it should be

[Chorus 1 - Both]
Trust In Me, when you're all alone
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
If lovin' me is what you need
Trust In Me

[Chorus 2 - Both]
Trust In Me, when you can't go on
Trust In Me, when your strength is gone
If lovin' me is the power to heal
Trust In Me

[Bridge 3 - Both]
If you need someone to hold ya
Call me, I'll be there
And if ever you're in trouble
And you need someone darlin'
Call me, call me, call me, call me

Move a little closer
A little closer to the bone
Move on in
Oh darlin', move on in

"Unforgiven"

"Unforgiven"


As long as I
am unforgiven
As far as I am pushed away
As much as life seems less for living
I still try
Let me say

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can anytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

If everyone would tell the truth
If I could only tell you why
If knowing me is any use to you
I'd still try
Let me say

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can everytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

For you
I'd do it all in a heartbeat
I know I can everytime
The time we'd find in a heartbeat
Is endless
As long as you're mine

"Walk Through The World With Me"

"Walk Through The World With Me"


I'm writing you this letter from some old hotel
I can feel the distance between us
From the Spanish Steps to the Liberty Bell
I know the angels have seen us, seen us, baby

They see you down on Seventh Avenue
While you're just hanging by a thread
And I'm sitting in a lonely room without a view
Wishing I was there with you instead

Won't you walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
Over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me

I'm staring out across the rooftops
I've seen the writing on the wall
Heard a little bit of thunder at the seventh wonder
But everything is bound to rise and fall, that's all

Walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
Over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me
Walk on, walk on, walk on

Let me get this ringing out of my ears
Let me get these stars out of my eyes
'Cause I just want to look back over all the years
With you right there standing by my side

Walk through this world with me
Walk through the world
You know, over the miles of mystery
Walk through this world with me

Walk through the world with me
Walk through the world
Over the mountains and the shining sea,
Walk through the world with me

Walk through the world
Walk through the world
Walk through the world

Over the mountains and the shining sea,
Walk through the world with me.

"Watching The River Flow"

"Watching The River Flow"


What's the matter with me,
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through the window
And I'm still in this all-night cafe.
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.

Wish I was back in the city
Instead of this old bank of sand,
With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand.
If I had wings and I could fly,
I know where I would go.
But right now I'll just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow.

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah,
Makes you stop and all wonder why.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
Who just couldn't help but cry.
Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.

People disagreeing everywhere you look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook.
But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.

Watch the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
Watchin' the river flow,
But I'll sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.
