"The Old Fashioned Way"

"The Old Fashioned Way"



Dance in the old-fashioned way.
Won't you stay in my arms?
Just melt against my skin and let me feel your heart.
Don't let the music win by dancing far apart.
Come close where you belong, let's hear our secret song.

Dance in the old-fashioned way.
Won't you stay in my arms and
we'll discover heights we never knew before,
if we just close our eyes and dance around the floor.
That gay, old-fashioned way that makes me love you more.

Come closer, forget about the others.
It's nice to be like this, cheek to cheek,
in the old-fashioned way.
It's funny, but, I have the feeling
that we are dancing as our parents used to do.
Well, maybe they weren't wrong: the world changes, love stays.

Dance in the old-fashioned way.
Won't you stay in my arms
and we'll discover heights we never knew before,
if we just close our eyes and dance around the floor.
That gay, old-fashioned way that makes me love you more.

"The Other Side Of Me"

"The Other Side Of Me"



You think you know me pretty well,
But how can you tell,
You never get inside my head.
The times we talk, we never speak,
We play hide and seek
So many things are left unsaid.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Sweet thoughts and dreams,
Like drops of rain on rippling streams
That wind and bend,
Rivers with no end,
Flowing on the other side of me.

It seems I always get unstrung
I trip on my tongue
With words that come out somethin' else.
I'm so afraid the things I say
Might chase you away,
I have to hide behind myself.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la
I have to hide behind myself.

Why can't you see
What's on the other side of me,
The side of me that reaches out to you.
Why must I hide
These feelings that have been denied.
Only you can set me free
See what's on the other side of me,
On the other side of me,
On the other side of me.

"The Party's Over"

"The Party's Over"



The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your
Pretty balloon

And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up

The masquerade
Just make your mind up

The piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed
Through the night
It seemed to be right

Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your makeup
The party's over
It's all over

My friend

You danced and dreamed
Through the night
It seemed to be right

Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your makeup
The party's over
It's all over

My friend

"The Power Of Love"

"The Power Of Love"



The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
The power of love

"The Sea And Sand"

"The Sea And Sand"



In the choir of the ocean air
Are you here? Were you ever there?
In the yellow shifting sand
In a dream I held your hand
I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe

your love
I stand with the waves rushing in
On the tide with my arms open wide
And I feel your love

I recall you in the sea and sand
Crying eyes and
the reaching hand
Touching spray from my brow
Are you near?
Where are you now?

I call to the sea
To the wind
To the rain
Bring him back
Come again
Oh I
need your love

I turn to the sky
And I search with my eyes
For a sign
You were mine
And I
see your love

And then the ebb tide brings a small piece of your driftwood in it’s hand
And you get washed up on the beaches of my long forgotten sand
And I go searching down the long deserted shore lines of my mind
Lighting fires with the pieces
To pass away the time

I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe your love
I stand with the waves rushing in
On the tide with my arms open wide
And I feel your love

I call to the sea
To the wind
To the rain
Bring him back
Come again
For I need your love
I turn to the sky
And I search with my eyes
For a sign
You were mine
And I see your love

I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe
your love

"The Way A Woman Loves"

"The Way A Woman Loves"



When a woman falls in love with a man
She gives him all her loving she can
And this will always be the way a woman loves

Something makes her shine from somewhere inside
Until her face has nothing to hide
It's there for all to see, the way a woman loves

A man would love discreetly
A woman gives herself away completely

Everything she feels is there in her eyes, they speak of love
Yet only the wisest man can say he knows
The way a woman loves

A man would love discreetly
A woman gives herself away completely

Everything she feels is there in her eyes, they speak of love
Yet only the wisest man can say he knows
The way a woman loves

"The Way I Want To Touch You"

"The Way I Want To Touch You"



I never wanted, I never wanted to touch a man
The way that I want to touch you
I never wanted, I never wanted to love a man
The way that I want to love you

You are sunshine, you are shadow
You are morning, you are night
You are hard times, you are good times
You are darkness, you are light

I never wanted, I never wanted to give a man
The things that I want to give you
I never wanted, I never wanted to live with a man
The way that I want to live with you

You are sunshine, you are shadow
You are morning, you are night
You are hard times, you are good times
You are darkness, you are light

I never wanted, I never wanted to love a man
The way that I want to love you
I never wanted (I never wanted)
I never wanted to touch a man

The way that I want to touch you
The way that I want to touch you, now
The way that I want to touch you
The way that I want to touch you, now
The way that I want to touch you
The way that I want to touch you, now

"The Way Of Love"

"The Way Of Love"



When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you’ll see him go

Then what will you do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

That’s the way of love
The way of love.

"The Way We Were"

"The Way We Were"



Mem'ries
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we, could we

Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

"There I've Said It Again"

"There I've Said It Again"



I've said it, what more can I say,
Believe me, there's no other way,
I love you, I will to the end,
There I've said it again.

I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you,
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.

Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There I've said it again.
