TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS


I know you're leaving me behind
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now, now, I'm feeling mine

I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child wrapped in a cradle
Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess

I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Please let me feel happy just one more time

Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, and rock me, rock me a little while

I said I never wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead
Here I am, baby, begging you please
Baby, baby, please, baby, baby, please

Baby, take me in your arms
Come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling

TAKE ME WITH YOU

TAKE ME WITH YOU


You see the light oh in the window of my room
I'll be looking out though the shades are drawn
if you should hear someone quietly calling out for your help
don't be alarmed, it might just be me

take me with you, take me there
I'll go with you anywhere
show me all the things you know

are you with me, are you there
I'll be with you everywhere
show me all the things you know, you know, you know, you know

the sun always seems to shine on the other side of the mountain
the water is clear on the other side of the hill
all at once it comes to me, ooh as I lay down
where I am is where I should be

take me with you, take me there
I'll go with you anywhere
show me all the things you know, oh, oh

are you with me, are you there
I'll be with you everywhere
show me all the things you know, oh

I'm holding them close to you, all those things I learned
but there's no questions unanswered, so we watch the candle burn
on and on

still the candle burns all night
oh so bright until morning when I wake and find myself alone
so if you see me all you need, is someone crying, calling out
"rescue me, and take me home, take me home"

take me with you, take me there
I'll go with you anywhere
show me all the things you know, you know

take me with you, take me with you
take me with you, take me with you
show me all the things you know, please show me

just take me, show me
just take me, show me
just take me, show me
just take me, show me
just take me, show me
please take me, show me
just take me

Makes my heart beat wild

TEARING AND BREAKING

TEARING AND BREAKING


Tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart
Tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart

Tearing and breaking down
There goes my heart again
Tearing and breaking down
Watch my heart fly away

All the love that I have ever known
Came from the sweetest of hearts
Every time I was looking for love
I found it in you

Tearing and breaking down
There goes my heart again
Tearing and breaking down
Watch my heart fly away

All the tears you found in your eyes
I know that they were mine
All the love you were trying to disguise
I never could deserve

Tearing and breaking down
There goes my heart again
Tearing and breaking down
Watch my heart fly away

Saw that look in the eyes
And I felt so sorry for myself
I could have cried
Heard you saying goodbye
And you know if that?s so strange
Cos I know we?ve tried

With all the tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart again
Tearing and breaking down
I can watch it fly away

Tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart
All the tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart again

Tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart
Tearing and breaking down
Watch my heart fly away, fly away, fly away

Tearing and breaking down
Tearing my heart

TEARS OF A CLOWN

TEARS OF A CLOWN


Oh yeah yeah yeah

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad, oh I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown, when there's no one around
Uh hum, oh yeah baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
And honey to shield my pride I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go, oh I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show, ooh yeah

{repeat CHORUS}

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah, baby baby
Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
When really I'm sad I'm hurting so bad

TELL ME WHY

TELL ME WHY


Mothers crying in the street
Children dying at their feet, tell me why
People starving everywhere
There's too much food but none to spare, tell me why

Can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart before my eyes
for some it's too late
it seems there's no-one listening

People sleeping in the streets
no roof above, no food to eat, tell me why

If there's a God, is he watching
can he give a ray of hope
so much pain and so much sorrow
tell me what does he see
when he looks at you
when he looks at me
what would he say
it seems there's no-one listening

Who would think it still could happen
even in this time and place
politicians, they may save themselves
but they won't save their face
just hope against hope it's not too late

You say there's nothing you can do
is there one rule for them and one for you,
tell me why

Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart before my eyes
for some it's too late
it seems there's no-one listening

Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry

THAT'S HOW I FEEL

THAT'S HOW I FEEL


Well I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so patiently
Out of the blue you call
You're leaving him to be with me now

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

He doesn't treat you good
He doesn't say the things that I say
So when he turns around
You're gonna stab him in the back and then walk away

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

You've been away too long
And now you're coming home
But I won't believe it until
I'm holding you tight, tight, tight tonight

Now maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
I'll take what you got, so you'd better hold on
You'd better believe it

Cos that's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you
You make me feel like never before
That's how I feel when I'm with you

That's how I feel when I'm in your arms
(That's how I feel when I'm with you) ooh, yeah
That's how I feel when I'm in your arms
That's how I feel when I'm with you

That's how I feel when I'm with you

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS


All day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same

And I don't know why
Why do we keep holding on
I don't know why
Pretending to be oh so strong
Oh why
Is there something I don't know
Or something very wrong, with you and me
or maybe

That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
That's just the way it is.

They've been waiting for word to come down
They've been waiting for you night and day
They won't wait any longer for you
It may already be too late

And I don't know why...

You see the dying, you feel the pain
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today

It's been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for

'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same

I don't know why...

 

[fox69]

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID


I remember the night you weren't at home
(had to work late is what I heard)
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
you needed some time to work it out,
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.

'Cos late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I've seen those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity?'
That's what you said,
I was your rome, you were my Juliet,
eternally
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.

'Cos late at night I hear your voice
calling out my name,
oh I know it's just a dream
but every night's the same.

I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
you know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
No no

Late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
No no

I thought your friends all liked me
I thought I fitted in just right,
that's what you said.
Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
you can go find the things that you want.
That's what you said
and I won't feel a fool

'cos late at night I still call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.

What for ? I'm with you
