"When The Hurt Comes Down"

"When The Hurt Comes Down"


She hasn't said goodbye but I can see it in her eyes
And it's too late to fight what's gonna happen here tonight
So I'm packing all my things and I'll be gone before she leaves
'Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.
When the hurt comes down, it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out, oh
And it's a lonesome sound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.
I'd like to let her know that I don't wanna go
But either way it hurts so tell me what else can I do
In the morning when I'm gone I'll call her on the phone
'Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.
Now when the hurt comes down it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out, oh
And it's a lonesome sound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down.
Oh, I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down...

"Where Do The Nights Go?"

"Where Do The Nights Go?"


Without you in my life every night seemed like a lifetime.
The clock on the wall never seemed to move at all
Or was it just my mind.
Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming fast.
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold you tight
Is this what love feels like? Your heart beats like thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
If I had a time machine, I'd make the daylight seem like fleeting moments
And every single night would be exactly like the night that we spent
But it won't be long until I'm alone with my desire
'Cause the stars are going out and my heart is still on fire,
Tell me where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, where do the nights,
Where do the nights go?
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold you tight
Is this what love feels like? Your heart beats like thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming fast, tell me.
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold you tight
Is this what love feels like? Your heart beats like thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?
Tell me where do the nights go.
Tell me where do the nights go.
Tell me where do the nights go...

"Where Love Goes When It Dies"

"Where Love Goes When It Dies"


She only wanted the love that she never had
Just a few of the good times to go with the bad
While her hungry eyes begged, I just didn't see
I was killing the feeling that she had for me.

When she reached out for me I never was there
And I guess she grew tired of thinking I didn't care
Now she goes through the motions but she ain't really alive
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies.

Now it's gone, that feeling's gone and she can't get it back
She can't love me no matter how hard she tries
With each passing day her love faded away
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies.

Now she goes through the motions but she ain't really alive
And I wonder, oh how I wonder where love goes when it dies...

"Who'll Turn Out The Lights (In Your World Tonight)"

"Who'll Turn Out The Lights (In Your World Tonight)"


I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?

I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?
Whose shoulder will your head be resting on
Will your hungry arms be reaching for someone you feel you need
Will that need still be there when he's gone
As I reach for the switch that turns out my lights
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?

Has someone found a secret that I could never find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times
Is he turnin' on the woman I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?

Has someone found a secret that I could never find
Is he touching that old switch that I've touched so many times
Is he turnin' on the woman I could never satisfy
I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?

I wonder who'll turn out the lights in your world tonight?...

"Who's Counting"

"Who's Counting"


I guess you wonder what's become of me?
Well, I'm doing fine
I've just got so much to do I lose track of time
I come home and go to sleep
I get up and go to work
And before I know it I've marked
Another day off my calendar.

It's been one year, two months
Three weeks and four days without you
Four hundred fifty long nights of thinking about you
The lonely hours and minutes keep mounting
But who's counting?

I go out to see a show when I can squeeze one in
But sometimes a game of solitare takes all weekend
I listen to the radio or watch TV till it goes off
The rest of the time I just sit around staring at the clock.

It's been one year, two months
Three weeks and four days without you
Four hundred fifty long nights of thinking about you
The lonely hours and minutes keep mounting
But who's counting?

Who counts the nights of a walking the floor
And who keeps track of tears anymore
I for one don't have time to waste
It doesn't matter to me that tomorrow makes, tomorrow makes.

One year, two months
Three weeks and four days without you
Four hundred fifty long nights of thinking about you
The lonely hours and minutes keep mounting
But who's counting?...

"Why Don't You Spend The Night"

"Why Don't You Spend The Night"


How did it get so late, where did the night go to
Strange how it slips away when I'm with you
I know it's almost two, I know you should leave, but wait
I've thought it over and there's something I gotta say.

Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?

Maybe I spoke too soon and maybe my timing's wrong
Or maybe it's something I shouldn't have said at all
But when I look in your eyes, I feel like we're almost one
Ah, something tells me the night's only just begun.

Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?

Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?...

"World Of Wonder"

"World Of Wonder"


Many is the day I have squandered away
Bended low from the weight I was under
And many is the time
I have spent all where it might
While livin' in a world of wonder
I have troubled my soul
To things I can't control
Awaiting my next foolish blunder
And I try to tell myself
It's in the hands of someone else
Up above the darkened cloud
There's a light to be found
High above the lightning and the thunder
Oh Lord hear my plea
Won't you help my eyes to see
I am livin' in a world of wonder
I once had a friend
And he loved life to the end
And he never let his faith go asunder
Though he lost his worldly due
He could smile and say to you
Man we're livin' in a world of wonder
Up above the darkened cloud
There's a light to be found
High above the lightning and the thunder
Oh Lord hear my plea
Won't you help my eyes to see
I am livin' in a world of wonder
I am living, you are living,
We are living in a world of wonder

"Wrong End Of The Rainbow"

"Wrong End Of The Rainbow"


I know this feeling from somewhere I know I've been here before
The one I love forever doesn't love me anymore
So here I am heartache my only friend wrong end of the rainbow again

I was looking for true love but I didn't get far
Before I tied all my heartstrings to some falling star
Now here I am heartache my only friend wrong end of the rainbow again

Between the winning and losing there's a very fine line
This time I felt like a winner when I was losing all the time
I get this rainy day feeling that I'm gonna be blue
I thought the day that I found her I'd seen the last of you
But here I am heartache my only friend wrong end of the rainbow again
Wrong end of the rainbow again

"You Snap Your Fingers (And I'm Back In Your Hands)"

"You Snap Your Fingers (And I'm Back In Your Hands)"


I cried a river washing your mem'ry away
And I finally made it least till you phoned me today
And I nearly hung up but teardrops destroyed my plan
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.

You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
Startin' all over right back where I've always been
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.

And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands.
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands...

"You Took Her Off My Hands (Now Take Her Off My Mind)"

"You Took Her Off My Hands (Now Take Her Off My Mind)"


You took her off my hands when you've stepped in
You changed everything we're not even friends
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my mind.

Please take her photograph engraved on my heart's so blue
And take all the memories she now belongs to you
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my mind.

Please take her photograph engraved on my heart's so blue
And take all the memories she now belongs to you
Don't leave the job half done leave nothing behind
You took her off my hands now please take her off my mind...
