SUSPICION

SUSPICION


So many times
I?ve asked myself the question
Hiding in plain sight
Is your love another self-propeller perception?

Burning in my mind
You don?t know where I?ve been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade

Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though I?ve never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible

Or could there be another explanation
I?m not aware of
Or should I just ignore the situation
Call me in care of

I don?t know where you?ve been
Your lies is paper thin
I see the truth erased

Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though I?ve never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show
Here in the crucible

You don?t know where I?ve been
I count too many sins
To play de sad charade

Suspicion kisses you when I do
Though I?ve never let you know
I only wish you knew what I knew
So we could both enjoy the show

TAKE THIS HEART

TAKE THIS HEART


I've been where you are before
No one understands you more
You fear ever step you take
So sure that your heart will break

It's not how the story ends
You'll be back on your feet again

Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away

The pain's still alive in you
For what one man put you through
You say that we're all the same
But I'm called by no other name

We all need a place to run
Won't you let me be the one

Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There aint nothing gonna take my heart away

Don't keep a dream in you locked outside your door
Just believe in this love
And don't be afraid anymore

I need you to please be strong
I've waited for you too long

Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more long nights
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away

This time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away
Hey-yeah-yeah

TAKE YOU BACK

TAKE YOU BACK


Looks like history?s repeating
I don?t learn from my mistakes
I can?t feel the water rising
A wave will always break

I want to take you back
Back to where we started before
The lights had changed
Words we didn?t get to say seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory is all that?s
Ever coming back to me

Now the heart you are defending
Has guards that I can?t kill
Can?t you see the happy ending?
I?ll race you standing still

Chorus

Did you think that you could be
So far gone that I couldn?t find you?
Did you think you could leave
Every little piece of me behind you?

I want to take you back
Back to where we started before everything changed
Words we never get to say always hit the hardest
Now just your memory is all that?s
Ever coming back to me
I know you?re never coming back
To me, to me

THANKS TO YOU

THANKS TO YOU


You gave me life, gave me your heart
And your shoulder when I needed to cry
You give me hope, when all my hope is gone
And wings so my dreams can fly

And I haven't told you enough
Haven't been good enough
At making you see

My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you

You gave me your word, gave me your voice
Gave me your everything each breath of your life
And you believe, when I can't remember how
You teach my faith to survive

And I never can do enough
Never thank you enough
For all that you are

My love for you will live in my heart
Until eternity through
I see your smile in the eyes of my child
I am who I am, mama, thanks to you

I know the treasure and I'm filled with grace
Whenever I see your face

I see your smile in the eyes of my child

THAT WAS LULU

THAT WAS LULU


When you woke up this mornin' on your front lawn
You had a smile on your lips and your wallet was gone
You remember some girl but the rest is all a blur
Well you're not the first one to fall under her spell
I know dozens of guys who've been there as well
They've got scars to show and they owe 'em all to her

That was Lulu
Did she fool you?
That was Lulu
That ain't legal
That ain't voodoo
That was Lulu

Well Lulu's got charms that money can't buy
(Oh)
And she's made her reputation makin' strong men cry
All the victims may change but their stories are the same
Lulu's there when your airplane just happens to crash
Still she walks away without even a scratch
Leavin' in flames but she never leaves her name

That was Lulu
Did she fool you?
That was Lulu
That ain't legal
That ain't voodoo
That was Lulu

And I know what I'm talkin' about I saw it all from the start
Long before she started runnin' around
Who do you think ran away with my heart that was Lulu,oh
Ohh

Ooh yeah

Yeah that was Lulu
Did she fool you?
That was Lulu
Yeah that ain't legal, ha
That ain't voodoo
That was Lulu

That was Lulu
That was Lulu
Yeah hey
Aw

THE CHRISTMAS SONG

THE CHRISTMAS SONG


Chestnuts roasting on a open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some misletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And every mother's child is gonna spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety two.
Altho's it's been said many times many ways,
Merry Christmas to you.

They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,

To kids from one to ninety two.
Altho's it's been said many times many ways,
Merry Christmas to you.

THE EDGE OF FOREVER

THE EDGE OF FOREVER


No one can decide
When lightning will strike
And everything falls into place
But lately it seems
When you're in my dreams
I find that I don't want to wake

I wanna slowly
Unlock the mystery
I wanna make love
I wanna make history

Chorus
With you
I see a lifetime with you
And if one thing is true
It's that God knew someday I'd be standing
On the edge of forever with you

I'm ready to fall
To give you my all
Cause you're everything I'll ever want
It's amazing to me
How far we can see
Our horizon goes on and on

I wanna slowly
Unlock the mystery
I wanna make love
I wanna make history

Chorus

And when I'm shivering
Your body will be my blanket
And then I'm drifting, baby
You'll be my anchor

THE FLAME OF LOVE

THE FLAME OF LOVE


Nobody told me
Every moment without you would seem so long
I get so lonely
And the nights have been so cold since you've been gone
Did I go and make belive the way you touched me
Was it real or just a game my mind was playing,
Tell me

Was it the flame of love
Or was it just my imagination
Was it the flame of love
Or an act of desperation

It's amazing
How a love can feel so good then fade away
And replacing you with someone else is a game my heart won't play
Cause I know I'll never feel the heat that's in your soul
But I can't remember how I lost complete control
Tell me

Was it the flame of love
Or was it just my imagination
Was it the flame of love
Or an act of desperation

How could I know you'd ever go
Taking my dreams away with you
You lead me along
You did me wrong
I can't go on now, baby

Was it the flame of love
Or was it just my imagination
Was it the flame of love
Or an act of desperation

THE OTHER SIDE

THE OTHER SIDE


Everyone, even those I love
Say that I must move on
It's time to pick the pieces up
What's done is done, what's gone is gone?
And I, I know they mean me well
But I'm not buying what they sell

I can see your face in every shooting star
Can you feel my pain from where you are?
I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side

I've been a soul adrift
Without you here to steady me
And I still listen for your voice
Through the anger and insanity
And I'm desperate for your help
Oh, I look for it in myself

I can see your face in every shooting star
Can you feel my pain from where you are?
I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side

And I, I'm desperate for your help
Oh I, I find it in myself

I can see your face in every shooting star
Can you taste my tears, ah, from where you are?
And I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?

THE WAY SHE LOVES ME

THE WAY SHE LOVES ME


(Oooh)
Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
Ooh, I want the world to know
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, I'm proud to let it show
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
I'll have this feeling
Till the day that I die
When I hear my baby calling
A simple motion, a look in her eyes
And I'm helplessly falling
I'd give all of somebody else
For any piece of her heart that's left
She knows me better than I know myself

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
Ooh, want the world to know
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, I'm proud to let it show
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, huh

I came close to letting this train pass me by
Just like a fool, second guessing
I could've spent my life wondering why
I didn't cherish the blessing
But I know, she'd come my way
Lonely nights would have been okay
I have her promise that she's gonna stay

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
Ooh, want the world to know
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, proud to let it show
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, huh

Ohh, nobody else could do me so right
A breath of Heaven in my darkest night
I'm gonna hold on with all of my might

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
Ooh, want the world to know
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, proud to let it show

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
Ooh, want the world to know
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, proud to let it show
Yeah, yeah

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
(My baby, yeah)
Ooh, want the world to know
(Yeah)
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
(Know she love me)
(Ooh, proud to let it show)
Yeah, yeah

Let me tell you
About the way she loved me
(My baby, yeah)
Ooh, want the world to know
(Yeah)
I'm crazy about the way she loved me
Ooh, proud to let it show
