BREATHLESS

BREATHLESS


Never knew love before
Never dreamed there could be something more
Felt my heart overflow
With the danger of needing you so
It's a mystery I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

You are the fire, every desire
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer, we are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love, we fall in love

You've crept into my soul
And I'm ready to lose all control
Let our hearts fill with light
Every movement you make is so right
It's a mystery I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

No need to worry, no need to hurry
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer, we are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love, we fall in love

Fall
I fell in love with you baby
It's a mystery I can't explain
But I shiver when I hear your name

You are the fire, every desire
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer, we are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love, we fall in love

No need to worry, no need to hurry
Breathless we fall in love
Love is the answer, we are the dancers
Breathless we fall in love, we fall in love

You are the fire, every desire
You are the fire, every desire
You are the fire, every desire

CALLING YOU

CALLING YOU


I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white
Though I could see you
I couldn'd reach you
You faded into the light
And when the sun turns a dream to reality
I'm left with such an emty space
I feel your spirit
Know that I'm near it
I swear I can see your face

Hear me calling you
Calling you
But just don't seem to answer anymore

Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain
Like it happend only yesterday
No use in trying
To sto the crying
I can't make it go away

Hear me calling you
Calling you
But just don't seem to answer anymore

I'm calling you, calling you
And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore

Where is the healing you promised me
Maybe thi efeeling will burn in me forever

Hear me calling you
Calling you
But just don't seem to answer anymore

I'm calling you, calling you
And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore
Calling you
And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore

CAN'T LIE TO MY HEART

CAN'T LIE TO MY HEART


I whispered you words I thought I'd never say
We played the game but then we tossed the rules away
Could deny it, justify it, but we both know that we went too far
Oh, I can feel you and I need you, no matter wherever you are

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Baby, I just can't lie to my heart

I have loved you longer than you've even known
When you hurt, I hurt, I'm your flesh and you're my bone
If I could only be two people, darlin' I swear, we'd both be with you
Oh, I know I'm selfish, but I'm helpless, I want you and nothing else will do

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart

I won't pretend anymore
Been hiding too long
I won't go on like before
I'm not that strong

Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you
It's not healthy to need you this way
I try to fight it, get inside it
This pain is stronger than me and it won't go away

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Rippin' me right apart

I don't want to watch my love come crashing down
I can't lie to my heart
I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round
Not anymore, I can't lie anymore, baby, I can't, baby, I can't

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT


All that I know in my life,
I have learned on the street
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet
Will I wake up from this nightmare?
A fear that chills me to the bone
Though I may be one of many
I feel so all alone

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

Left by my father with only this scar on my face
Told by my mother that,
"No, you were just a mistake"
I have tasted my own hunger
Sold my body to survive
Some have paid to scratch the surface
But they can't touch what's inside

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

How I long for something better
Than this life I know too well
Lord, I know I'm bound for heaven
Cause I've done my time in hell

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

COLDER

COLDER


This is what I should have said
If I'd've been a man about it
You might be in my arms by now

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
As I contemplate the losing
The silence is up way too loud

I can't sleep anymore
The words I never said keep turnin' over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is colder

Just like the T-shirt that you wore
You were divine and full of madness
Not really like anyone

In words too beautiful for words
I constructed a soliloquy
That never seemed to reach my tongue

Yeah, the air never even filled my lungs

I can't sleep anymore
The words I never said keep turnin' over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is colder

All I can think of is
My name on your lips

I can't sleep anymore
The words I never said keep turnin' over
I can't dream like before
And all I seem to be getting is

COME RUNNING

COME RUNNING


I?m a prisoner in the night
Taken captive like the light
I just can?t forget you

I?ve been frozen in my tracks
I?ve been broken right in half
But I couldn?t help but let you

Roll, stroll
Like a voodoo inside my soul

Strange, daze
Melted my self-control

Any old excuse at all
All you have to do is call
Baby, don?t you know that I?ll come running
Any time of night or day
Anywhere or anyway
Baby, don?t you know that I?ll come running

You?d have thought I knew the score
That I?d seen this all before
Guess who?s got my number

You held me helpless as a child
As you slowly, you drove me wild
And I didn?t stop to wonder

Why, try
There?s no explaining this spell
Tossed, lost
You know you do it so well

Any old excuse at all
All you have to do is call
Baby, don?t you know that I?ll come running
Any time of night or day
Anywhere or anyway
Baby, don?t you know that I?ll come running

DAYS IN AVALON

DAYS IN AVALON


I'm nearing the end or the beginning
Whichever one finds me
And I'm counting the tears and the blessings
That I'll leave behind me

I could not ask for more
You were the one thing worth livin' for

I will remember days in Avalon
I will remember nights in your arms
I will remember days in Avalon
And I will recall every moment
Of my days in the sun

As I embrace the twilight
The memories surround me
I would have been lost sure as the rain comes
If you hadn't found me

Each breath I breathe is for you
I never knew how to live 'til you taught me to

I will remember days in Avalon
I will remember nights in your arms
I will remember days in Avalon
And I will recall every moment
Of my days in the sun

I will run through the door, I'm not afraid anymore
And the light that I see is your eyes
Once again I'll be whole
I will live in your soul longer than the rest of our lives

I will remember days in Avalon
I will remember nights in your arms
I will remember days in Avalon
And I will recall every moment

DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'

DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'


Welcome to the big time
you're bound to be a star
And even if you don't go all the way
I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats
It can turn you upside down
Ain't no one you can count on
in this sleazy little town

Oh, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart

(chorus)
Cause it don't mean nothin'
the words that they say
Don't mean nothin'
these games that people play
No it don't mean nothin'
no victim, no crime
It don't mean nothin'
till you sign it on that dotted line

The director smiles as
you walk in the door
He says "I love your work, babe
But you're just not
what we're looking for"
It's never what but
who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in
all that California snow

Take a good look around
and you'll find
People tryin' to mess
with your mind

(chorus)

Hollywood can be so lonely
make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
cause stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night

The producer says
"Let me change a line or two"
And a little bit of something
can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream
but you gotta keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a living
there ain't no such thing as pride, no

Lot of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart

(chorus)

(don't mean nothin')
(don't mean nothin')
It don't mean nothing at all...
(don't mean nothin')
(don't mean nothin')

DONE TO ME

DONE TO ME


I remember yesterday
Like it wasn?t far away
And you were by my side

Now it?s all a bitter haze
I don?t recognize my face
And I?m not thinkin? right
I can?t help myself

With you gone, I am nothing without you
Just a ghost chasing your memory
Shaking, fading?.a shadow where I used to be
Baby, look what you?ve done to me

Well, you broke my heart to death
And now the only thing that?s left
Are my emotional remains

I wish the silence would shut up
Cause I?ve really had quite enough
This slow burning pain
I can?t even cry for help

With you gone, I am nothing without you
Just a ghost chasing your memory
Shaking, fading?.a shadow where I used to be
Baby, look what you?ve done to me

How dare you make me love you
How dare you make me love you

With you gone, I am nothing without you
Just a ghost chasing your memory
Shaking, fading?.a shadow where I used to be
Baby, look what you?ve done to me

ENDLESS SUMMER NIGHTS

ENDLESS SUMMER NIGHTS


Summer came and left without a warning
All at once I looked and you were gone
And now you're looking back at me
Searching for a way that we can be
Like we were before

Now I'm back to what I knew before you
Somehow the city doesn't look the same
I'd give my life for one more night
Of having you here to hold me tight;
oh please
Take me there again
Oh, oh

Chorus:
And I remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
I remember every moment
of those endless summer nights

I still recall the walks along the beaches
And the way your hair would glisten in the sun
Rising in the afternoon
Making love to you under the moon;
Oh-uh-oh

Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence
Every single breath you took was mine
We can have it all again
Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine
Oh, oh

Chorus:
And I remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
And I remember every moment

There's only so much i can say
So please don't run away, from what we have together
It's only you and me tonight
So lets stay lost in flight
Oh, want you please surrender

Chorus:
And I remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
And I remember every moment
