SOMETHING ABOUT YOU

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU


Darlin', darlin'
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers through the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home

'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more

Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
No matter what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway

'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more

Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire

I'm just your puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
But do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same

'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more

You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
And I need you just the same

SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO HEAVEN

SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO HEAVEN


We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well, that was then and this is now
And I want you back

How many times can I say I'm sorry
How many times
Yes, I'm sorry

How can something so good go so bad
How can something so right go so wrong
But I don't know, I don't have all the answers
I want you back

How many times can I say I'm sorry
How many times
You know

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please, believe in me

I only wanted you, someone to love
But something happened on the way to Heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
And I want you back

How many times can I say I'm sorry
How many times
Oh, yes, I'm sorry, sorry
Well you know

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please, believe me

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, let me show you

They say you can't take it with you
When you go and I believe it
But taking what I've got or being
Here with you, you know
I'd, I'd rather leave it

We had a life, we had a love
But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back

How many times can I say I'm sorry
How many times
Oh, yes, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
Well you know

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving less you come with me
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please, believe me

You can run and you can hide
But I'm not leaving 'til it's all over
We've had our problems but I'm on your side
You're all I need, please, believe in me

SOMEWHERE

SOMEWHERE


There?s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There?s a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to love, time to care

Someday, somewhere
We?ll find a new way of living
We?ll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere, somewhere

There?s a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we?re half way there
Hold on to my hand and I?ll take you there

Somehow, something, somewhere
Someday, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
There?s gotta be somewhere
Somehow, somewhere, somehow
Somehow, somewhere I know
Somewhere I know there?s a place for us
There?s got to be somewhere
Got to be somewhere
Somewhere out there
Somewhere
Somewhere

SON OF MAN

SON OF MAN


Oh, the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things willcome to you in time
On this journey that you're making
There'll be answers that you'll seek
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
It's you who'll reach the peak

Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be

Though there's no one there to guide you
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man

Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be

In learning you will teach
And teaching you will learn
You'll find your place beside the
ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the time is drawing near now
It's yours toclaim it all

Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be

Son of Man
Son of Man's a man for all to see

STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE

STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE


Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I wanna run but there's no way to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me

'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute

Didn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?

So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now won't your conscience kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute

Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none

What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
Now wait a minute

I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I

I'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love

STRANGER'S LIKE ME

STRANGER'S LIKE ME


Whatever you do, I'll do it too
Show me everything and tell me how
It all means something
And yet nothing to me

I can see there's so much to learn
It's all so close and yet so far
I see myself as people see me
Oh, I just know there's something
bigger out there

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these
strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familliar about these stransgers like me

Every gesture, every moe that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have
This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, aboe the clouds
I see before me a new horizon

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Come with me now to see my world
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams
Can you feel the things I feel
Right now, with you
Take my hand
There's a world I need to know

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

... I wanna know

SURVIVORS

SURVIVORS


No I never meant to hold you back
I never meant to turn away
please forgive me

I never meant to break your heart
I'd give my last breath before I do
please forgive me

No I never meant to hold you down
I never meant to break your heart
somehow, somehow
we are survivors

No I never meant to hold you back
I never meant to turn away
here we are standing here
survivors in the night

No I never meant to break your heart
I'll always be here for you

survivors in the night

No I never meant to let you down
I'd give my last breath before I do

survivors in the night

When all is said and done
we'll find a way
to put this all behind us
we'll find some way
'cos you know that I won't be leaving
yes I'm here and I won't be leaving

No I never meant to cause you pain
no I never meant to hurt
all I want to do now, is to try my best
survivors in the night

When all is said and done
we'll find someday
we can forget all this
somehow, some way

And as long as I'm here
there'll be no worries any more
and all these promises I'm making now
I'll hold each day

So don't ever, don't ever, don't forget
that I never, never menat to break your heart
all I ever wanted was to stand beside you
survivors in the night
We are survivors in the night

SWING LOW

SWING LOW


The sun is rising in the sky
Here we're waitin', standin' by
Round in circles, round and round
Pulse is racing, can't sit down

The noise of people fills the air
Search for silence goes nowhere
Time just passes, starts to rain
I look at you and I feel your pain

Day after day watching it grow, counting the time
In each and every way the pleasure is mine

Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The farther we reach, the farther we see
The farther we go

Time after time waitin' for you, when will you come?
Wanting to play the game we've begun

Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more we can give, the more we can keep
The more there will be

Like the man said, "He was right
'Bout something coming in the air tonight"
Well if it's coming, let it be now
I feel it's close, I just know somehow

I can't hold on much longer
My head is filled with wonder
But if these things don't come to pass
I'll bring you water and fill your glass

Everyday the stronger it grows, it's easy to see
Getting to feel how good it can be

Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more that we teach, the better we learn
The better we'll be

Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times

TAKE ME DOWN

TAKE ME DOWN


Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.

Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.

It's at this time we feel the emotion,
nothing is wasted, nothing is lost.
I'm sure that I've been here before sometime
some bridges are reached but never are crossed.

Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.

Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.

Don't fail me now
'cos it's out of my control.
I'm coming with you,
I'm right beside you,
oh feet don't fail me now.

Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.

Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, don't let me go.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh feet please don't fail me now.

TAKE ME HOME

TAKE ME HOME


Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothin'
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burnin'
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

Seems so long I've been waitin'
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turnin' off the light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
'Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

(Ohh ohh)
Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
(Ohh ohh)
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
(Ohh ohh)
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
(Ohh ohh)
They don't think that I listen
(Ohh ohh)
Oh but I know who they are
(Ohh ohh)
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
