HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS

HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS


I watch the world go round and round
And my life goes by at the speed of sound
I walk the night and I wonder just where I belong, oh

My heart is young but my soul is old
I've never been one to do what I was told
My back to the wall is the only place I can feel strong, oh

Heaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything more

I like to think I'm a faithful man
To resist desire and do all I can
I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh

Heaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything more, no more

I've always wondered how to know right from wrong
Looking for a reason to replace what is gone
But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me, to me

Heaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything more

Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

HEAVEN'S WAITING

HEAVEN'S WAITING


There is no understanding in this hostile age
Sometimes I fell just like a rat locked in a Cage
It's hard to live bejond the walls
It ain't no life at all
But don't you tear it down

Take your changes, I'll take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

And with the years I've found a faith that get's me be
It show's me the truth in a huricane of lies
My baby left a light for me
That's really all I need
They won't bring me down

Take your changes, I'll take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

Aimlessly ruching leaves you with nothing
You need some loving to make you feel alive
In less than a moment, live can be stolen
I know where I'm going, gotta get me there tonight

I'm holding on to what I can
Like any other lucky man
Love won't strike me, love won't sell me out

Take your changes, I'll take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

HOLD ON TO THE NIGHTS

HOLD ON TO THE NIGHTS


Just when I believed
I couldn't ever want for more
This ever changing world
pushes me through another door
I saw you smile
and my mind could not erase
the beauty of your face
Just for awhile won't you
let me shelter you

(chorus)
Hold on to the nights
Hold on to the memories
I wish I could give you something more
and I could be yours

How do we explain
something that took us by surprise
Promises in vain
love that is real but in disguise
What happens now?
Do we break another rule
let our lovers play the fool?
I don't know how
to stop feeling this way

(chorus)

Hold on to the nights
Hold on to the memories
If I could only give you more

Well, I think that I've been true
to everybody else but me
And the way I feel about you
makes my heart long to be free
Everytime I look into your eyes
I'm helplessly aware
That the someone I've been searching for
is right there

(chorus)

Hold on to the nights
Hold on to the memories
I wish I could give you more
then I could be yours

HUNGRY EYES

HUNGRY EYES


I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You are mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see
This love was meant to be

I've got hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise

I GET NO SLEEP

I GET NO SLEEP


Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold
It's like a weight over me

So scared the thrill will be gone
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on


All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone


Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes
Just keeping up with this town
I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs
I've got to learn to slow down

My life makes it hard to complain
But there's time I'd take my school days back again


All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone

Ohh yeah yeah


Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep
I keep the pressure far away as I can
But it still comes back again, back again, yeah, yeah

My life makes it hard to complain
But there's time I'd take my school days back again

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone
All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone

All I've got is all I need
But I get no sleep and I'm sure I'm not alone
All I've got is all I need
I'm not alone, yeah, yeah, yeah

IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE

IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE


I know you have reservations
And you're just along for the ride
But I see a slight hesitation
What are you trying to hide

Don't be afraid to bare your soul
Nothing you say could be too bold
I'm growing old

If you don't want my love
Tell me now cause I'll survive
If you don't want my love
I'm sure that somebody does tonight

You make a grown man quiver
It might be hard to believe
But it's time to stand and deliver
You've just been playing with me

I don't want to blow my only chance
But you've got to show me where you stand
Or drop my hand

If you don't want my love
Tell me know cause I'll survive
If you don't want my love
It won't be the end of my life

If you don't want my love
Night will fall and the sun will rise
If you don't want my love
I'm sure that somebody does tonight

I don't want to blow my only chance
But you've got to show me where you stand
Or drop my hand

If you don't want my love
Tell me now cause I'll survive
If you don't want my love
It won't be the end of my life

If you don't want my love
Night will fall and sun will rise
If you dont' want my love
I'm sure that somebody does tonight

If you don't want my love
Ain't gonna worry tonight
If you don't want my love
Well somebody does tonight

IMAGE

IMAGE


Hope you don't believe a word
Of all the things I know you've heard about me
Really just a pack of lies
You see the truth before your eyes around me

Hard to keep it straight
The real from the ruse
Probably way too late
What can I do?

But it's not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image

It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image, yeah

Would it be too much to ask
That you could just give me the chance to prove it
Or would it only be a waste of time
To try to make you change your mind and use it?

What I've been looking for
Isn't what I thought
Not behind the golden door
You've all I've got

It's not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image

It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image, yeah

What I've been looking for
Isn't what I thought
Not behind the golden door
You've all I've got

Well, it's not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image

It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image, yeah

Not what you think
Not what you hear
Not what you see
It's just the image

It's all on a string
All fantasy
Not really me
It's just the image, yeah yeah yeah

Just the image, babe
Just the image, babe

Just the image, babe
Just the image, babe

Just the image, babe

IN THIS ALL ALONE

IN THIS ALL ALONE


You could say that I am not who I used to be
And I could say it's all because of you
This is complicated, yeah, this is new for me
But it's my heart I'm listening to

Every time that you're around
All my walls come crashing down
And I am sweopt away like drops
Of rain into the ocean
Kiss me once before you go
In a way that makes me know
That I'm not in this all alone

In your eyes I see my life catching up with me
And you're the finish line I'm running to
Yeah, Ive been good and Ive been just
Who Im supposed to be
Ive been everything but true

I am helpless, at your will
See me shaking standing still
Ive been swept away like drops
Of rain into the ocean
Kiss me once before you go
In a way that makes me know
That im not in this world alone

The door is open now
Oh, wont you show me how
To be right where you are

INSIDE

INSIDE


Stars alight, August night,
And you and I are set in motion
Every fear disappears
Like a tear into an ocean

Say my name just the same
Like a flame slowly burning
Fill my eyes with the sight
Of all that lies beyond the yearning

Baby there is nothing but surrender left in me

All at once our worlds collided
I ain't strong enough to hide
I've fallen, darling,
I long to take each breath beside you
Burn down all the nights before you
Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it
The secret that lets me be the one inside you

If there exists a deeper bliss
Plant a kiss that wakes the morning
Reach for me, sweet as sin
You took me in against the warnings.

So I will love you everyday until my days are done

All at once our worlds collided
I ain't strong enough to hide
I've fallen, darling,
I long to take each breath beside you
Burn down all the nights before you
Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it
The secret that lets me be the one inside you

I will love you everyday until my days are done

All at once our worlds collided
I ain't strong enough to hide
I've fallen, darling,
I long to take each breath beside you
Burn down all the nights before you
Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it
The secret that lets me be the one inside you
The one inside you
The one inside you

KEEP COMING BACK TO YOU

KEEP COMING BACK TO YOU


You know just how to hurt me
how to take all the pain away
Girl, you must be the devil in disguise
There were times, I think you knew
When I was so afraid of you
There's some kind of madness in your eyes

You know a place buried deep in my heart
Nobody else can see
Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me

Chorus
I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
To you baby

You say we shouldn't be lovers
And I say we can't just be friends
And all this talking just makes me want you more
You've got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you, no...

I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
just tell me why I keep coming back to you
To you baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play
So in love, and nothing can keep me away

---MUSIC ---BREAK---

You've got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you

I don't know why I keep coming back to you
Just tell me why I keep coming back to you...
