"The Shelter Of Your Arms"

"The Shelter Of Your Arms"



In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same

To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name
Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you

And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there

In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes
You can fall
You think someone
Would lend a helping hand
They'd sooner see you crawl
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there

And in the shelter of your arms
I can find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again

Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what I ask you, for what
If not for you
And all your love to see me through

But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I can find strength and safety
And then
I rise and start again

"The Story Of My Life"

"The Story Of My Life"



The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave

The story of my life
Begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth

I was alone
You found me waiting
And made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be
The man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life,
And every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
And never letting go
And if I die today,
I wanted you to know

Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began
I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write

The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"



Loneliness
Well it's the coat you wear
It's a deep shade of blue
And it's always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Emptiness
It's the place you're in
With no more to lose but no more to win

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Lonely,
Without you, baby
Oh, I need you
I can't go on

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the skies
The tears are always clouding your eyes
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

"The Time Is Now"

"The Time Is Now"



Look at me girl,
I'm almost shakin'
I wanna hold you so bad
My insides are achin'

I wanna say what's in my heart
Like I never said it
Then I'm gonna love you ,
Girl so you won't forget it.

The time is now, and the place is here
I'm gonna show you how,
How I feel about you

You've got lips like I've never tasted
And anytime I'm not with you girl,
That's the time I call wasted
You know, we got he kind of thing
You just can't beg or borrow
Gonna show you what I mean
And I don't mean tomorrow

The time is now, and the place is here.
I'm gonna show you how,
How I feel about you.

You know, we got the kind of thing
You just can't beg or borrow
Gonna show you what I mean
And I don't mean tomorrow

And the time is now
And the place is here
I'm gonna show you how I feel, baby
I said the time is now, lady
Ah, the place, the place is here,
I'm gonna show you how....

"The Way"

"The Way"



The way, as far as I can see it
I need to find the way, to make you mine
And someday when you least expect it,
I hope you find the way
To love me in kind

The way leading to your heart
Can never go wrong
Leading to your soul,
No road is too long

And now, having said I love you
I've got to find the way
To say that I care
And the way having been decided
Is for me to stay
And always be there

The way leading to your heart
Can never go wrong
Leading to your soul
No road is to long

Be a part of me
That's all I can say
I may not know the words
But I know the way to you

The way leading to your heart
Can never go wrong
Leading to your soul
No road is too long

Be a part of me
That's all I can say
I'm a part of you
And I know that you are the way

Just need the way to find you
I need to find , I need to find
I need to find, I need to find
The way to you,
You are the way, you are the way
You are the way, you are the way
The way for me

"The Way You Look Tonight"

"The Way You Look Tonight"



Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Oh lovely never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"

"The Windmills Of Your Mind"



Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending on beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

"Things Have Changed"

"Things Have Changed"



Now, you tell me I'm the only one
After all the dirty things you've done
Once there was a time
When I'd fall for your line,
But darlin'
Things have changed

I don't want your kisses anymore
No, we can't be lovers like before
When you left me all alone,
I went lookin' on my own
And darlin'
Things have changed

I found out what love's all about,
And I've taken the cue
All your lies I can do without
And so, I'd like to tell you
I've just found someone who really cares
We both plan to make a happy pair
I've just outgrown you
And there's nothing you can do
'Cause darlin'
Things have changed.

"This Time"

"This Time"



If there was time enough for me
To do it all, again
I promise you, that I would find
A way to make it right,
This time

This time I'd love you even more
I never thought, I could
But now I know, that I would find
A way to make it right
This time

Over again, I closed my eyes,
And I keep reliving it over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no

And you'd be mine this time for sure
Only got to show I care the way I do
And I'd be there this time for you.

If there was time enough to say
The things I feel inside
I promise you, I'd find a way
A way to say them right
This time

Over again, I closed my eyes
And I keep reliving it
Over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no

And I'll be there this time for sure
'Cause I'm not the same man
That I was before
And I'm nothing at all
If I'm not yours
I only got to show I care the way I do
And I'll be there this time for you
Yes, I'll be there this time for you

"True Love"

"True Love"




Sun tanned, wind blown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling, far above far
Oh how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true
