"Hooked On The Memory Of You"

"Hooked On The Memory Of You"

Stay with me, here with me
I want you near with me
I'm a man
That's hooked on the memory
Of you and I, who knows why?
I only know that I'm sure, I am
Hooked on the memory of you

Time, time standing still
I know it's you, I always will
Need you too,
Lay with me, lie with me
Spend your desire with me, if you can
I'm hooked on the memory
Of you and I, who knows why?
I guess I wanted for you to be
Hooked on the memory of me

Time, time standing still,
I know it's you, I always will
Want you to, be here with me
I want you to stay right here with me
I need you to love with me,
Laugh with me,
Forgive the past with me
I know you can

I'm hooked on the memory
Of you and I, who knows why?
Guess I wanted for you to be
Hooked on the memory of me
Oh you know that it's true
Not a thing I can do
I'm hooked on the memory of you

"Hurricane"

"Hurricane"

We were swept away,
We were taken by surprise
Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Then it came unexpected,
And we never even ran
We were standing unprotected
When the rain began

And the hurricane came,
And it never made a sound
So we never ran for cover
And it blew the house down
And it brought us together
Maybe tore us all apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart

When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart

But we built another house
And we made it out of stone
And we're stronger now together
Than we ever were alone
We were swept away
But never swept apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
For the heart

Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Swept away
Taken by surprise
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes

"Hurtin' You Don't Come Easy"

"Hurtin' You Don't Come Easy"

I stopped askin' why
Girl, the well's gone dry
Time to say the words I'm sayin'
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows,
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go

Thought we had it once
But what was once, was once
Time can change
Both dreams and dreamers
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go

I need to find what I ain't found
I'll may be lookin' for it
Til the last day I'm alive
Don't ask me what I'll do
Don't ask me where I'm bound
I just know I'm not alive
Unless I can get up and try
And hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows
Hurtin' you don't come easy
But I need to go.
Hurtin' you don't come easy
God only knows.....

"Husbands And Wives"

"Husbands And Wives"

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief
Pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't and some can't....

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives

Pride is the chief cause in the decline
In the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some can't
And some can't.....

"I (Who Have Nothing)"

"I (Who Have Nothing)"

I,
I who have nothing I,
I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you darlin'
But, oh
I love you

He,
He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love the way
I love you

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you
With my nose pressed up against
The window pane
I love you I

I who have nothing I
I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms
Of somebody else
When, darling, it's I
Who loves you
I love you
I love you
I who have nothing

"I Am The Lion"

"I Am The Lion"

There was a flood
And many poor men were killed
And that is why our house
Is built on the top of a hill

The plains are like a friend,
Why can't we live on them
And if a flood should come,
Why can't we run

I am the lion
Bellowing out in the night
We had a cow
I left it alone to graze
And walked to the stream
And when I returned
It was stolen away
But now the cow is gone,
And we don't need a farm
We have not one thing
They would steal away

I am the lion
Bellowing out at the night
I Am
The lion
Bellowing out in the night
I am
The lion

"I Am... I Said"

"I Am... I Said"

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back

Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays,
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home,
But it ain't mine no more

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair

"I am"... I cried "I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... I said

"I Am... I Said (Reprise)"

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of bein' a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me,
The story's the same one

But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't
Even say why

"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"
"I am"... I said
"I am"... I cried
"I am"

"I Believe In Happy Endings"

"I Believe In Happy Endings"

I believe in happy endings
Starry skies and dreams come true
I've believed it since I first met you

I believe in new beginnings
Extra innings, brand new starts
Loving hearts that care the way I do
All these things and happy endings too

Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare why

I believe in happy endings
You're the reason, love's the way
And I'll believe it till my dying day

I know the cost of tears and trouble
Some get lost, some make it through
Me, I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too

[Instrumental]

Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare

I know the cost of tears and trouble
I got lost, but I got through
And I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too
You and me and happy endings too

"I Care Enough"

"I Care Enough"

Tommy sends you flowers
Lots of pretty things
Johnny buys you ribbons for your hair
They all send you presents
And because I know
You tell me that I don't really care
But I care enough to give the very best

I'd like to buy you things like all the rest
I know how much these little things can mean
But all that I can give you are my dreams

Billy takes you driving in his brand new car
Frankie takes you to the movie show
If you think I don't care
That they love you more
Look into my eyes and you will know
That I care enough to give the very best

I'd like to buy you things like all the rest
So darling please believe the things I say
So let me love you in my special way
Because I care enough to give the very best
Because I care enough to give the very best
