"Boats Against The Current"

"Boats Against The Current"


I know it's over
You know it's over
We're just goin' through the motions
But we're sailing separate oceans, worlds apart
And you know it's breakin' my heart

I was a dreamer
You were a dreamer
But perfection is consuming
And it seems we're only human after all
And we've both been takin' the fall

But tomorrow
We'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
We're gonna find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

Maybe we're older
And maybe we're colder
So we disregard solutions
While we cling to our illusions once again
And we keep remembering when
Seasons are changing
Oh my reasons are changing
But the story isn't ending
So we find ourselves pretending one more day
And the years keep slipping away

But tomorrow
We'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
We're gonna find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

But tomorrow
We'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
We're gonna find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end
Romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end
To the end

"Can't Bring Me Down"

"Can't Bring Me Down"


Don't tell me you still love me
Don't make me feel this way
Don't tell me you're thinking of me
You know it's late to change

You were the one to leave
You said you did not love me
Now you're coming back right on track
Just like you always do

You can't bring me down
I have come too far this time around
You know I'll always love you

Can't bring me down
I have finally reached a higher ground
And you know I'll always love you

I know you don't mean to hurt me
Just can't make up your mind
You've got to understand me
I've wasted so much time

You are my shining light
I get that you are sacrificed
Now I'm moving on, it's time to be strong
There's better days ahead

You can't bring me down
I have come too far this time around
And you know I'll always love you

Can't bring me down
I have finally reached a higher ground
And you know I'll never forget you

Can't bring me down
No no no no

(Can't bring me down)
Can't bring me down
I have finally reached a higher ground
You know I'll always love you

(Can't bring me down)
I have come too far this time around
You know I'll always love you

Don't tell me you still love me

"Come And Dance With Me"

"Come And Dance With Me"


Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance
Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance

It's been a while since I last saw you
I nearly lost my mind
The lights were dim, but I could see
You've been my love all the time

Come and dance with me, my love of old
Come and dance, my love of new
It's been so long since we last kissed
I'm so glad that I found you

We shared a dance, you held me close
And we both closed our eyes
To reminisce the love we shared
And the love we'll share in time

So I danced with you, my love of old
And I need you, love of new
It's been so long since we last kissed
I'm so glad that I found you

Now we'll share our lives together, dear
You and I forevermore
Most of all I'd like to thank you for making life worth living for

Come and dance with me, my love of old
So come dance, my love of new
It's been so long since we last kissed
I'm so glad that I found you

Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance
Come and dance, come and dance, come and dance

"Come As You Are"

"Come As You Are"


You're a victim of the life you lead
In your heart of hearts you can't concede
That you could be so much more
Can't breathe in this atmosphere
You're afraid you're gonna disappear
Into yourself
And become someone else

Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as you are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are

Doesn't matter how you paint your face
There's a beauty that you can't erase
That mirrors the heart of your soul
(Who says) angels aren't suppose to cry
(Who says) that you have to let your life slip by
And never reveal
The passion you feel

Come as you are
I'll be here for you
Come as your are
Let me adore you
My open arms are waiting for you
All you have to do is come as you are

You've got to gather up your confidence
And wear it like a halo
Open your eyes so you can see... yourself
I will always be right here for you
Just show me what's real
Try to reveal
The passion you feel

Come as you are
I'll be here for you
I'm waiting for you
All you gotta do
All you have to do it
Come as you are
I will adore you
All you have to do
Is come
Come as you are

"Come What May"

"Come What May"


Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part

But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love

Now I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may

Wish I was a bird
I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring

But I'm not a bird
And wishes can
Just fly away, my love

And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may

Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes
Of the above stars, my love

No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child

"Crazy Love"

"Crazy Love"


We can't change the way we were
But we can change the way we are
All I really wanted from this crazy love
Was a night so full of stars
That our hearts could not pretend
And what I wouldn't give
To have that crazy love again

I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love

I lived my l life for you
And honey now, now I'm left with me
Hanging on to pieces of what used to be
And no matter how I try
When I feel another's touch
It brings me back to why
I miss our crazy love so much

I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To your crazy love
To your crazy love
Crazy love

I can light the fire alone in the dark
But maybe if we look inside there's still a spark

Said, "I believe in second chances
And I'm holding on for sure
To our crazy love
It was crazy love"
Oh oh

"Do I Stand A Chance"

"Do I Stand A Chance"


I asked you something
You tell me nothing
And the words
You don't say out loud

All I really wanna know is
Do I stand a chance
To be what I wanna be to you

Time's a wastin'
No more hesitatin'
Tell me what I have to do

All I really wanna know is
Do I stand a chance
To be what I really wanna be to you

Oh, and you are all I sing about
Want to live and be about
With every breath I take
You are all I care about
Want to love and be about
Oh, I do as I plan

I asked you something
You tell me nothing
And this love I feel won't let me wait
Won't let me wait

All I really wanna know is
Do I stand a chance
To be yours?
Do I stand a chance
To be your woman?

Chance together
let's take a chance together
Let's take a chance together
Be what we want to be
Oh
You, you, you, you
Oh, do I?
Oh, do I?
Oh, do I?

"Does He Love You"

"Does He Love You"


I've known about you for a while now,
Then he leaves me he wears a smile no,
As soon as he's away from me,
In his arms is where you want to be,
But I'm the one he rushes home to,
I'm the one he have his name to,
You never see his face in the early morning light,
I have his morning his babies,
And I'm the only one who has his nights,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
And when he's with you he knows he needs me,
And that he wants me and he believes in me,
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else,
If you think he'll ever leave me you're just deceiving yourself,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
Should I loose my temper,
Shouldn't you be ashamed,
Cause I have nothing to lose,
And you have nothing to gain,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me.

"Don't Block The Blessings"

"Don't Block The Blessings"


There's no such a thing as a broken heart,
It can't be shattered, can't be torn apart,
It won't start bleeding when love seems gone,
It just keeps beating on and on and on and on,
Someday this hurt that I feel will pass,
These tears I cry over you won't last,
I know my dreams won't really die,
And there's life for me so much life when I,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessing,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I'll move out of the darkness,
And make my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some,
Brand new chance to overcome,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessings,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I moved out of darkness,
And made my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance,
I think I will overcome,
Don't block the blessings,
Don't give up what ever you do,
Don't block the blessings,
Good things will hapeen for you

"Don't Let Go"

"Don't Let Go"


Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock.
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Come on, baby, it's time to rock,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
I'm so happy I got you here,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear.
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
I love you so, Just hold me tight.
Don't let go!

Thunder, lightening, wind and rain,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Love is stormin' inside my brain,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
I'm so eager, I'm nearly dyin',
Don't let go, Don't let go.
You've been keepin' your lips from mine.
Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
I love you so, Just hold me tight.
Don't let go!

Hound dog barkin' up side the hill,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Love is draggin' him thru the mill,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
If it wasn't for havin' you,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
I'd be barkin' and howlin' too.
Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
I love you so, Just hold me tight.
Don't let go!

One day, baby, you'll quit me yet,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
One thing, baby, I'll never stand,
Don't let go, Don't let go.
Your lips kissin' some other man.
Oo-wee, This feelin's killin' me;
Ah shucks, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks.
I love you so, Just hold me tight.
Don't let go!
Just hold me tight, Don't let go!
