Can't Help Falling in Love



Wise men say,
Only fools rush in.
But, I can't help
falling in love with you.

Shall I stay? would it be a sin?
Would it be a sin,
If I, I can't help
Falling in love with you?

Like a river flows, surely to the sea.
Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be.

Take my hand.
Take my whole life too.
For I, I can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows, surely to the sea.
Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be.

Take my hand.
Take my whole life too.
For I, I can't help, falling in love with you.

No I, I can't help, falling in love ... with...you.

Straight from My Heart

Straight from My Heart



The sun's still warm and most days are good
The world still turns like you said it would
But this pain seems to never let me go
And there is really no movin' on
There's only going along

And I will always be
Better for you loving me
Better for the times we shared
That travel with me everywhere
And I will always try
To hold my head up to the sky
If only just to let you know
That straight from my heart
I still miss you so

If I could I would gladly trade
A thousand tomorrows for one yesterday
There are so many things that I would say
You're a part of every memory
That lives on in me

Hazard

Hazard



My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right ...
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies
And saw the man inside ...
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town ...
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home ...
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me ...
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town ...

Right Here Waiting

Right Here Waiting


Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Falling

Falling


I've got a secret
That I think I'm ready to share
It may bring us closer
It may be a burden to bear

It's precious and it's real
And all that I can feel

Chorus:
Is that I'm falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

You are a beacon
Revealing the places I hide
You've given freedom
To so much that I kept inside

And with one look in my eyes
It can't be a surprise

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

Now there's no darkness
My truth laid open and bare
It's in my flesh and bones
Yeah it's everywhere

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
Like rays that come from heaven
Bathed in your reflection
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

Chains Around My Heart

Chains Around My Heart


Out of my sight.. but the vision is still the same
Out of my mind..but the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Don't ask me why.. why I've lived with this all alone
Locked up inside.. and it's cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of danger's the only sign I see

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Are you listening.. is there something that you'd like to say?
Am I getting through.. are you just gonna leave me this way?

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
You've got to break these chains around my heart
That's all I'm asking of you
You've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

At The Beginning

At The Beginning


(Donna Lewis)
We were strangers starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

(Richard Marx)
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(Chorus)
And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

(Both)
We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(Chorus)
And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

(Bridge)
Knew there was somebody somewhere
Like a light in the dark
Now I know that dreams will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Beautiful

Beautiful


With a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love in your heart.
Then people gonna treat you better.
You're gonna find, yes you will,
That you're beautiful as you feel.

Waiting at the station with the workday wind a blowin',
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers by.
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing,'
And they don't see it showing. Why do I?

[Chorus]

I have often asked myself
The reason for the sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby.
And if there's any answer,
Maybe love can end the madness.
Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.

AGAIN

AGAIN


There's been no sunlight since the day you said goodbye
Since the moment that my life turned into a masquerade
I can't even pretend to paste a smile across my face
All my dreams have been erased there's nothing left to save me

And you, you're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you, you're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together again

What I'd give just to wake up and wipe your memory from my eyes
But I can't wish for bluer skies I've never been quite so hopeless

And you, you're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you, you're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together again

And if you stay away, I fear it will all be too much
And if you stay away, I'll be a man who's lost his touch

And you, you're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you, you're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together again, again, again

I live my life

ALMOST EVERYTHING

ALMOST EVERYTHING


I'm waiting for some kind of healing to begin
And I wonder if you know the kind of pain I'm in
It's hard wondering just what it is you see

There hasn't been a moment you've been off my mind
I've searched through every meditation I can find
As if something could bring you back to me

Do I go on in silence or shout at the sky?

Give me all the earthly treasures that a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers that turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say that I've won the world on a string
And then I will have almost everything

I imagine you until I swear I feel your touch
And I read the words you wrote me when it gets too much
The one piece of solace I can steal

I still need you in my life like never before

Give me all the earthly treasures that a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers that turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say I have won the world on a string
And then I will have almost everything

I still need you in my life more than ever before

Give me all the earthly treasures that a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers that turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say I have won the world on a string
