"I Want To Make You Smile"

"I Want To Make You Smile"



When I run too fast, slow me down
When I run to far, turn me around
Sometimes life becomes an endless waste
Sometimes love can't stand the lonely pace.

Each day goes by much too fast
Tomorrow soon becomes the past
Lost in struggle I'm making my way
Not taking time enough to simply say:

I love you, forgive me
I know it's been a while
I love you, I wanna stop the world
And make you smile.

Too many days I forgot to take your time
To say I love you and thank you for being mine
Those simple words I sometimes forget to say
We'll be on my lips at the wake of each new day.

I love you ...

But you know I love you
I wanna stop the world and make you smile
If it's not too late to make you smile.

"I Wasn't Man Enough"

"I Wasn't Man Enough"



Words couldn't hold her
I found out I couldn't control her
She left me for something I could give
Now I live my life still loving her
But I go through life not having her
I wasn't man enough for my woman.

Days spending fear
'cos the night was drawing in
No matter how hard I tried, it wasn't there
I can't blame her for going
She fell in love not knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman.

Have you ever been so afraid
Of doing something wrong that you did
I couldn't help it
Have you ever held on to something so tight
Afraid of losing it and then lose it, I lost it.

It hurts to know
I couldn't be the way she wanted me
And it's sad to say that I'm the way I am.

Now I know the pain is showing
But what hurts the most is knowing
I wasn't man enough for my woman.

"I Will Always Love You"

"I Will Always Love You"



If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So, I'll go but I know
I'll think of you
Each step of the way
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me
So goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all, I wish you love
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you
Bittersweet memories,
That is all I am taking with me
So goodbye, please don't you cry
'Cause we both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you.

And I will always love you...

"I Will Remember You"
(originally by Sarah McLachlan)

"I Will Remember You"
(originally by Sarah McLachlan)



I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

I'm so tired
I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something
Much to deep.

It's funny how we feel so much
And cannot say a word
We're screaming inside
But we can't be heard

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

So afraid to love you
More afraid to loose
Clinging to past
That doesn't let me choose.

Well, once there was a darkness
A deep and endless night
You gave me everything
You gave me light.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

Remember all
The good times that we had
Let them slip away from us
And things got bad.

Clearly I first saw you
Smiling in the sun
I want to feel your warmth
I want to be the one.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories.

Weep not for the memories.

The memories...

"I Wish I Could Say That"

"I Wish I Could Say That"



Hello, it was good to get your call
You haven't changed at all
You're the same as far as I can tell
No way, I see something in your face
Someone's filled the empty space in your life
Well, I'm glad to hear you're doing well.

I wish I could say that but I'd be lying
I'm still not over the fact
That you stopped trying
It was easy for you to just let go
Of all we had
I wish I could say that.

What? Do you mean there's no one new
It's my memory haunting you
Now you want the things we had back then
Inside there's a part of you
That's still loving me and always will
'Til the end and you'd like to see us try again.

I wish I could say that but I'd be lying
I'm still not over the fact
That you stopped trying
It was easy for you to just let go
Of all we had
I wish I could say that...

"I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again"

"I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again"



Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again
At least I had you every now and then
And in between the sorrow
At least there was tomorrow
And as long as there's tomorrow
There's no end
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again.

Oh, I wish that we could play that game again
Even though I'd always lose and you would win
At times you would desert me
The emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back
Was always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again.

I'd love to hear you tell me
You don't need me anymore
Just like you used to tell me everyday
I'd love to watch you leaving
Like the hundred times before
At least my eyes could see you walk away.

Oh, I wish that we could play that game again
Even though I'd always lose and you would win
At times you would desert me
The emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back
Was always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could hurt that way again...

"I Won't Forget"

"I Won't Forget"



It might've been a Saturday night
It ain't clear it was so long ago
It was somewhere across the county line
A dance or a party I don't know.

But I do know you looked like an angel
And your eyes were the color of your dress
There's a million things I don't remember
But that's the one thing that I won't forget.

It might've been a Saturday night
It was either my folks car or yours
I know that we went to some drive-in
What was playing that night I'm not sure.

But I am sure you whispered you loved me
As my lips softly pressed against your neck
There's a million things I don't remember
But that's the one thing that I won't forget.

After a while I guess we agreed
We had wings we needed to test
Somehow we talked ourselves out of love
That such close to love as I've gotten yet.

It was 2:21 on a Sunday
And I found myself standing in the rain
You blew me a kiss through the window
As your greyhound was pulling away
Inside I was dying to stop you
I should've listened to my heart
And not my head.

There's a million things I don't remember
But that's the one thing that I won't forget...

"I Would Like To See You Again"

"I Would Like To See You Again"



I was sitting here thinking about some old times
Some old times, some old friends
Suddenly it came across my mind
That I would like to see you again.

Remember how we used to walk and talk
Walk and talk holding hands
we said we loved each other I recall
We made a lot of future plans.

But the years have come and gone
And a whole lot has happened since then
But tonight your memory's awful strong on my mind
And I would like to see you again.

It's funny how an old flame comes down
Come on back, make you blue
But I saw the picture of a railroad track
An old shot of me and you.

I guess I'd better straighten up my mind
Straighten it up and go to bed
I pray that I don't dream about old times
Some old times, gone and dead

But years have come and gone

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"



I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

"I'll Be There For You"

"I'll Be There For You"



ll be there for you
You don't have to feel alone
Like a shadow by your side
I'll be with you right or wrong

You stumble and you fall
But you can always lean on me
I'll be there to see you through
I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you
When your dreams seem far away
Even in the darkest night
You can face the world unafraid

And if you close your eyes
You will feel me next to you
No matter what you're going through
I'll be there for you

Here today, here tomorrow
Through the joy, laughter and sorrow
You're in my heart with candid souls
If you could read my mind
You'd know ...

I'll be there for you
The one who comes to your rescue
I'm the one you'll never leave
I'll be there for you
No matter what you going through
I'll be there for you
