"Soul Of My Soul"

"Soul Of My Soul"


We may be strangers
We may be worlds apart sometimes
And it's hard to accept
The things we just don't understand
So blind to each other
We only see one side of nowhere
Some things we may never know
If there's one thing you should ever know

[Chorus:]
Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
The greatest treasure of my life that's what you are
Soul of my soul, child of my heart
I love you more than you know, soul of my soul

Into this world
We come with a heart that's open wide
And the best of this life
Is all I ever want for you
The love you believe in, your every dream
Your every passion
In time I know you'll come to see
Nothin' means as much to me

[Chorus]

There'll come a time when you'll be on your own
But in your heart you're never far from home
Every road you take
Your every living day
You will always be, you will always be
The soul of my soul

[Chorus]

Soul of my soul, heart of my heart
Some kind of miracle of life that's what you are
Blood of my blood, light of my life
You mean much more than you know
Soul of my soul

"Soul Provider"

"Soul Provider"


Talk about love, talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever baby
When I'm talkin' 'bout us
I give you my word, stick to my guns
Believe when I tell ya baby
That we've just begun

You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan

[Chorus:]
I wanna be your soul provider
I wanna stay that way
For the longest time
I wanna be, your soul provider
Just say you'll let me
And darlin' I will

I know you've been hurt, I know you're love shy
You don't have to say it baby
It's gonna take some time
Ya got my heart, in the palm of your hand
Swear it's gonna stay there baby
Give me half a chance

You don't understand
The full intent of my plan

I've been waitin' for a long time for somebody like you
To give my love, all my love day and night
Just say you'll be mine for the rest of your life
Baby I'll show you why

[Chorus]

"Stand Up For Love"

"Stand Up For Love"


Baby, we've been in and out of love so many times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one
more good-bye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make it
But that's all we need if we just take it

[Chorus:]
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause I know what we got is worth
fighting for
And I know for sure, right or wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms
somehow I see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it

[Chorus]

For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two have made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up
for each other

Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause we know what we got is worth
fighting for
And we know for sure, right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

"Start Breaking My Heart"

"Start Breaking My Heart"


Everynight, I would lie awake
Alone in my bed
Think of you, then I'd cry myself
To sleep, that's what you said
You were so sure of yourself
By now I'd be out of my mind
So where is the madness
The pain and the sadness
You swore you'd be leavin' behind

[Chorus:]
Start breaking my heart
Start bringin' me down
Start breaking my heart
Like you said you'd do to me
Start breaking my heart
Tearin' me apart, breaking my heart
Start breaking my heart

Lookin' back, you were good at diggin'
Into my soul
All the time, oh I should've understood
You just needed control
Finally you realized, how much you were
Foolin' yourself
Ya thought you'd desert me
Thought you could hurt me
By leavin' me for somebody else

[Chorus]

You're breaking your promise to me
You swore I'd be fallin' apart

[Chorus]

You've been gone girl, I don't even
Know how long
Come on and prove me wrong
You can start by breaking my heart
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart

"Steel Bars"

"Steel Bars"


In the night I hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go

I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and I just can't break these....

[Chorus:]
Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain

[Chorus]

And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you

[Chorus]

"Still The Love Of My Life"

"Still The Love Of My Life"


I've been thinking 'bout the first time I looked at you,
I got the feeling that I found someone I always knew
And ever since that day we laughed and we cried
We learned along the way that love takes a lifetime
(So I can't believe) Can't believe I've found somebody like you

[Chorus:]
You're still the reason why the sky will never fall
This love will never die forever we can have it all
And when I need to believe I just look in your eyes
You're still the one, you're still the love of my life

Of my life, my life, my life

We've had our ups and downs
We run against the wind
I built some mighty walls and watched your heart just climb right in
Some people thought we'd crumble
But they were wrong, we survived
And making love to you still feels like the first time
(So here with me) here with me there ain't nobody but you

[Chorus]

Had a taste of the cold hard of rain,
Made it through the winds of change
And they just made us that much stronger
Even now when I watch you sleep,
Can't believe you're still here with me...
You're the answer, the answer to the rest of my life
Uhhhhhhhh, you're still the reason why

[Chorus 3x]

"Summertime"
(originally by George Gershwin)



Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's so good lookin' baby
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky

But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you, oh no
With your mama and your daddy standing by

But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you, oh no
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry

It's summertime
And the livin' is easy
The fish are jumpin', don't you know they're jumpin', baby
And the cotton is high

Your daddy is rich, so rich
And your mamma's so good lookin' baby
Don't you hush my little darling
Don't you cry

It's summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Don't you cry
Don't you cry, baby
Don't you cry
Don't you cry, baby
Don't you cry
Summertime
Summertime
Don't you cry

"Survivor"

"Survivor"



You can't believe that your whole world's shattered
You used to have it all under control
It's like you lost everything that mattered
And you're afraid to fall

You've been through it all too many times
And though I know your pain, without it there's no way
So they say, yeah, you're lying in the rain
Letting it fall across your face just to feel alive

So let's hear it for the ones
Who know what it feels like to survive a broken heart?
Put one hand up in the sky tonight
If you know what it feels like to survive a broken heart
Survivor of a broken heart, survivor of a broken heart

You're searching through all the thoughts you've gathered
And it feels impossible to make it through another day
Where do you turn when your faith's been shattered?
And nothing's logical

You've been through it all too many times
And you can feel your pain but you can't win before you lose
So they say you search for who's to blame
When you let go you find the truth is just to feel alive

So let's hear it for the ones
Who know what it feels like to survive a broken heart?
Put one hand up in the sky tonight
If you know what it feels like to survive a broken heart
Survivor of a broken heart, survivor of a broken heart

A thousand pieces on the ground
How do you put them back together, once again?
And when your world comes crushing down
That's when you rise and you find your way up
That's when you find out of what you're made of

So let's hear it for the ones
Who know what it feels like to survive a broken heart?
Put one hand up in the sky tonight
If you know what it feels like to survive a broken heart
Survivor of a broken heart, survivor of a broken heart
Survivor of a broken heart, survivor of a broken heart

"Take A Look At My Face"

"Take A Look At My Face"


I said a lot of things
A lot of things I didn't mean to say
Never meant to hurt you
I was wrong to fight with you that way
But I'm only human
I let my pride deceive me
You're the lover I need in my life
If you still don't believe me

[Chorus:]
Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

From the day I found you
You brought light into my heart
So don't keep your love away from me
Don't leave me in the dark
Though I never tell you
What my heart's concealing
You're the lover I need in my life
Can't you feel what I'm feeling

Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place

Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

You could think it over
You could make it easy
I'm the lover you need in your life
If you still don't believe me

[Chorus]

"Take Me As I Am"

"Take Me As I Am"



Woman, you don't understand
Oh, I'm just a man
Baby, that's all I am
That's all I have ever been
And you, you don't understand
Oh, I've gotta live

You make it so hard to do
you know you hurt me, baby
Take me, take me as I am
Take me as I am, Baby
Ooh, ooh, take me as I am

All I believe is that you've taken me
For some kind of dream
I don't want to wait too long
For my love is in the way to see it
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But your love is in the way

Ya gotta listen
It's time to listen to me
You, you don't realize
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to bear
It may be hard for me to go on

And I know, I know, I know
You'll understand
I'm just a man, baby
That's all I am
Don't make it hard on me

Just take me, take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, oh
Take me as I am, Baby
Oh, take me as I am now
