Brooke White Album

Time has come and time has gone
Since I packed my bags and I moved on
And I somehow seemed to get along without you

Well it's been so long since I've seen your face
And it's been so long since I've seen that place
But I smile now, without the trace of a teardrop

Well the road was painful and it was rough
And finally I am tough enough
To walk on my own

And now I'm
Free, free, free
No one's stopping
Me, me, me
From being what I want to be
Yes, I'm finally free

Walking away was the hardest part
I had to use my head and not my heart
Finding the truth was the start to letting go

Well step by step, I found my way
I had to hold my breath for one last day
Sometimes all I could do was pray that I would make it through

Well the road was painful and it was rough
And finally I am tough enough
To walk on my own

And now I'm
Free, free, free
No one's stopping
Me, me, me
From being what I want to be
Yes, I'm finally
Free as the wind blowing through the trees
And now I can begin living this life for me
And now I can win
Yes, I can win

And yes I win because I'm
Free, free, free
No one's stopping
Me, me, me
From being what I want to be
Yes, I'm finally
Free, free, free
No one's stopping
Me, me, me
From being what I want to be
Yes, I'm finally... free

Painted pictures and colored glasses
Burning hot like smoke and ashes
Deserted halls and empty walls
A memory of you recalls to me
The way things used to be

I love your letters and dried up flowers
Ticking clocks that pass the hours
Shadows here in the moonlight cast
Memoirs of a haunting past you left behind
For me
To find a melody

The way things used to be

Turn up the radio
To tune out your memory
But even stronger now
Sing out the harmony
When will this hopeless dream
Ever set me free?

Sunday dinners, the table's set
Faces that you don't forget
I spilled the milk and shattered a plate
Reminds me of the stolen fate
So sad; it's too bad
That we lost what we had
Now everything that I see becomes
The way things used to be
The way things used to be

The way things used to be

Everytime that I look in the mirror. All these lines on my face getting clearer. The past is gone. It went by just like dust of dawn. Isn't that the way? Everybodys got their dues in life to pay.

Oh! I know, nobody lose. Where it comes, and where it goes. I know it's everybody sins. You got to lose to know just how to win.

Half my life is in books written pages. Live and learn from the fools and from sages. You know it's true. Oh! All these things. Come back to you.

Sing with me, sing for the years. Sing for the laughter, singing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away. Sing with me, sing for the years. Sing for the laughter, singing for tear. Sing with me just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Oooooooooooh! Ooooooooooooh! ooooooooooooooooooh! ooooooooooooooooh!

Sing with me, sing for the year. Sing for the laughter, singing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away. Sing with me, sing for the year. Sing for the laughter, singing for tear. Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away!

Hey yeah yeah. Oh. Dream on! Dream on! Dream on! Dream until the dream come true. Dream on! Dream on! Dream on! Dream until the dream come true. So dream on! Dream on! Dream on! So won't you, dream on! Dream on! Dream on! Ooooohhhh!

Sing with me, sing for the year. Sing for the laughter, singing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away. Sing with me, sing for the year. Sing for the laughter, singing for the tear. Sing with me, just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

Take you away! So won't you dream. So won't you dream.

Save me, cause I'm sinking
Almost driving me to drinking
I know that you're thinking that I'm gone

Drowning in the water
Now it's getting harder
To swim against the tide

You left me high and dry
Crying tears like rain
Falling from the sky

But please don't leave me here
With your last goodbye

So baby
Come to my rescue
You're the only one who
Can bring me back to life
Come to my rescue
Hear my plea for you
To keep me alive

I'm running out of breath
Think I'm falling to the depths
Of my broken heart

Impatiently I wait
Won't you resuscitate
Well can't you see
That I'm coming apart

So won't you be so kind
To lend me a hand
And some peace of mind?

You just can't leave me here
Hanging on the line

So baby
Come to my rescue
You're the only one who
Can bring me back to life
Come to my rescue
Hear my plea for you
To keep me alive

Down, down, ever so slow
To the very bottom I go
Down, down, into the dark blue
Oh, can't you hear me crying out for you?

So baby now
Come to my rescue
You're the only one who
Can bring me back to life
Come to my rescue
Hear my plea for you
To keep me alive
Keep me alive

So baby
Come to my rescue
You're the only one who
Can bring me back to life
Come to my rescue
Hear my plea for you
To keep me alive

To keep me alive
To keep me alive
To keep me alive

It's like candy land
When you hold my hand
Anywhere you stand
I want to be next to you

Give me one more taste
Of your sweet embrace
Lipstick on your face
After we kiss goodnight

And you're mine, all mine
And it's fine with me
Wanna take your time
So I can make you see
With me, how happy we'll be

So fly away
Million miles away
And there we'll stay
In love
In love

Just to hear the sound
Of your voice around
Paradise, I found
When you speak my name

Wanna stay like this
Wrapped up in your bliss
Never gonna miss a single day
Without the chance to say I love you

And as time goes on
And we both grow old
You'll always be my sun
When the world gets cold
You'll always know, you're my only one

So here I come for you
Nothing no one can do
To keep me away from you

This love has no end
Never gonna save me
'til eternity is through
I'll keep on loving you
Forever and ever

So let's head away
We can leave today
Let's go find a space
Our own little place
Where we can stay
Where we can stay
In love
In love

So let's fly away
Million miles away
And there we'll stay
In love
In love
In love

So you say you're moving to L.A.
Well if that's the way that you want it to be
Then I'll stay behind with little peace of mind
But you'll feel the same way about me

Because when you're gone, it won't be long
'til you found someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
You will find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do

And I know that you've got to go
And find yourself all on your own
But I'm telling you, whatever you do
That I'm holding on, even though I could lose

And when you're gone, it won't be long
'til you found someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do
You will find someone new
Who won't love you like I do
Like I do

Do you still dream of me
When you close your eyes to go to sleep?
It's one more day, and you're slipping away
I need you here with me

Now you've called to say, "Please come to L.A."
But nothing has changed, not time or space
Could come in between you and me
And now that's the way that you want it to be

So now I'm gone and it won't be long
'til I'm next to you, and I can love you like I do
Like I do
I knew no one could ever love you like I do
Like I do, like I do, like I do

Do you still dream of me?
Do you still dream of me?
Do you still dream of me?
Do you still dream of me?

All alone inside your pain
No one understands the way you're feeling
Trapped beneath the clouds and rain
There ain't nothin left for you to believe in

So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, well, I will pray
Yes I'll pray
That someday, it's gonna change
It's gonna change

I wish I could take it all away
And give you the freedom for just a day
To feel the love you've been longing for
So strong that you couldn't feel sad anymore

So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, well, I will pray
Yes I'll pray
That someday, it's gonna change
It's gonna change

So don't give up and don't give in
When there's a choice to sink or swim
Cause in the end, I hope you stand
Knowing you've become a better man
A better man

So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Just know that I will pray
And yes, I'll pray
That someday, it's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things that you do
And it was called Yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know
You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do!
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
Do you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry?
For you I'd bleed myself dry

You know it's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
And it was all yellow

Now that I can realize
You pulled the wool over my eyes
So many times
It's hard for me to recognize

And I was so mesmerized
By your master of disguise
Now it's clear to me
There's another man that I didn't see

And you'd think by now
I could figure out somehow
Still, with all that I know
I can't tell myself no

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no no... no, no no
I don't want to let it go

Wrapped up in illusions
My head full of confusion
How did I let it come to this?
Was there something that I missed?

You wanted me to need you
You wanted me to breathe you in
Each second of my life
Now I forgot you don't seem right

But that's how it goes
When you give up control
To your heart and your soul
I should want it back, but I don't

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no no... no, no no
And I don't want to let it go
No, I don't
But I won't live like this anymore

Walking 'round in the clouds
Now it's time to come down

I don't want to let it go
Even though it's wrong, I know
Cause I still love you so
Oh no no... no, no no
I don't want to let it go
No, no, no
I don't want to let it go

I don't want to
I don't want to let it go

Colored leaves are falling off the trees
Dancing in the breeze, and I
Write this song for you

So won't you come and
Follow me?
I'll lead the way
And never lead you astray
Follow me
I'll lead you home
And never leave you alone
Follow me

So many things I want to say
But you run away from me
And hide inside your fears
But I'm always right here

So follow me
I'll lead the way
And never lead you astray
Follow me
I'll lead you home
And never leave you alone
Follow me
Just follow me

When it's dark, we'll find the light
When you're scared, I'll hold you tight
Everything will be alright
Trust in me, trust in me

Follow me
I'll lead the way
And never lead you astray
Follow me
I'll lead you home
And never leave you alone
Alone
Follow me
Just follow me
Just follow me

Every evening I come home
And turn on all the lights
I still see you in the shadows
Even when it's bright

Put music on the radio
Play it way up high
I can hear you in the silence
And all I do is cry

Changing places
But I'm always looking for you
In that endless sea of face
What am I gonna do?

I keep running
Going nowhere
I can't leave your love behind me
I keep running
Never moving
Getting lost so you can't find me
I keep running
Slow motion
Hoping someday soon, I'll see
I'll see you come running home, my darling
Back to me

Every morning I wake up
And try to dull the pain
Some light in my window
Might as well be rain

Driving after midnight
To help my heart unwind
Your memory keeps tearing
At the edges of my mind

Starting over
But I'm always thinking of you
Fewer, farther
What am I gonna do?

I keep running
Going nowhere
I can't leave your love behind me
I keep running
Never moving
Getting lost so you can't find me
I keep running
Slow motion
Hoping someday soon, I'll see
I'll see you come running home, my darling
Back to me

Changing places
But I'm always looking for you
In the endless sea of faces
What am I gonna do?

I keep running
Going nowhere
I can't leave your love behind me
I keep running
Never moving
Getting lost so you can't find me
I keep running
Slow motion
Hoping someday soon, I'll see
I'll see you come running home, my darling
Back to me

I keep running
