Clay Aiken Album

What are you doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

[Chorus]

If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

I saw your face in the crowd
I called out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could be what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

[Chorus]

If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm screaming
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...

Yeah, I know it hurts
Yeah, I know you're scared
Walkin' down
The road that leads
To Who-Knows-Where

Dont'cha hang your head
Dont'cha give up yet
When courage starts
To disappear
I will be right here

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
"Turn around"
When your dreams
Give out
I will carry you
Carry you
When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you're fallin'
Behind
I will carry you

Everybody cries
Everybody bleeds
No one ever
Said that life's
An easy thing
That's the beauty of
When you lose your way
Close your eyes
'N' go to sleep
Wake up to
Another day

When your world
Breaks down
And the voices tell you,
"Turn around"
When your dreams
Give out
I will carry you
Carry you

When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you've fallen
Behind
I will carry you

You should know now
That you're not alone
Take my heart and we will find
You will find
Your way ho-ome

When the stars
Go blind
And the darkness starts to
Flood your eyes
When you've fallen
Behind
I will carry you
Carry you
I will carry you

There's somethin' 'bout the way
You look tonight
There's somethin' bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you

There's somethin' 'bout the way
Your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that
I get nervous when you're around

And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why

It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight

It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, girl
Maybe it's the look
You get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that
It makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feelin' stays the same

In the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that
I want you tonight (tonight)

It's in the way that
You hold me
And the way that
You know me
And when I can't find
The right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on
Just what it is that makes me
Love you, you, baby
So don't ask me to describe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way

It's in the way that (Oh)
You move me
And the way that
You tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

Oh (It's in the way that)
You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)
And the way that
You know me (the way you know me)
When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)
It's in the way that
You move me
And the way that
You tease me (feelin')
The way-ay-ay-ay-ay ~ (feel it in the way)

There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothin' more to say than

I've been watchin' you from afar
And the way you make your way 'round the bar
You act like you're really entertained
And you smile like it's your favorite game
Now you're movin' closer to me
And our eyes connected emotionally
I'm not lookin for a one night stand (stand)
Or a place for a broken heart to mend (mend)

I know everybody here wants to hold ya
I know what it's like 'cause I feel the same (same, same)
When you look in my eyes
There's a part of me that's still afraid

When you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too many times

They say if you wanna make God laugh
(yeah) All ya gotta do is tell him your plans
I know that the time is not right (right, right)
Didn't know that I would meet you tonight (night, night)
Not that I don't really like the attention
I feel like the only man in the room
Are you really sincere?
Is this just something that you do?

Now when you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too may times

Again, and again, and again
I've been hurt, my friend, till the end
You know I been high, I been low
I got no place left to go
Again, and again, and again
When will this search ever end?

When you say you love me
Do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me
Do you feel it?
I believe the magic in your eyes
I will wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me
Like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me
Make me feel it
All I wanna do is make you mine
I will wait until the end of time
Baby, say you love me
Come on, baby, say you love me
Oh
Ooooo
To hear you say you love me

This is the way that I'll state my independence,
That I'm no longer connected, to your memory.
This is the day that I'm making my defection,
That I claim back the affection that you stole from me.

I used to hear your music so loud.
But its so long, You're just another face in the crowd.
I'm letting you know...

No more sad songs.
I'm letting it go now.
Switch off, switch on,
I'm letting you know.
You turned out the light.
I'm gonna be alright
When I turn the radio on,
No more sad songs.

These are the words to describe all your offenses,
You said love in the past tense,
Then you let it go.
Haven't you heard?
You are no longer respected.
You are formally rejected,
From the one you hurt.

I used to have the longing to heal what was in your heart,
But now it seems I'm over the fear of this falling apart.

No more sad songs.
I'm letting it go now.
Switch off, switch on,
I'm letting you know.
You turned out the light.
I'm gonna be alright
When I turn your radio on,

Don't, you don't have to save my life
No, you're not ready i can feel it
Outside its raining but i'll just go home
Someday your heart will just let him go

As soon as you get that feeling
You can start to live again
As soon as the worst is over
You can make it all make sense
Right now I can't give you want you need
As soon as you get that feeling...
Run to me

Hush, you don't have to say a word
Trust, I'm not going to hate you for it
Feels like my touch only brings back the pain
Someday those memories will fade away

As soon as you get that feeling
You can start to live again
As soon as the worst is over
You can make it all make sense
Right now I can't give you want you need
As soon as you get that feeling

You can try to hide away
From every drop of rain
That's hanging over you
And you can say it's all a waste
Lost your time and space
There's nothing left to lose
Like a broken angel on the ground
Like a symphony without a sound
Turn around

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

In the mirror of your soul
I know that you know
You are not forsaken
Hey butterfly, open up your weary eyes
And realize
It's a trip we're taking
And the world will turn around again
And your shattered heart is gonna mend
In the end

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine

Baby, let's go riding on shooting stars (stars)
(You are gonna shine)
Watch the crescent moon smile to your heart (to your heart)
(Shine)
You are going to shine
(shine)
You are going to shine

Everything you are
Everywhere you've been
The sinner and the saint
That fight the battle within
Every place you go
Everybody knows
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine

Everything you are (everything you are)
Everywhere you've been (everywhere you've been)
The sinner and the saint (Oh)
That fight the battle within (fight the battle within)
Every place you go (everywhere you go)
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
Shadows fall across the sun sometimes
Shine
You are gonna shine
(Oh)

I see the picture clear now
And the fog has lifted
The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever
Yeah, your gifted
But you forgot to dot some i's and cross some t's along the way
I'm better now despite you baby
I'm stronger these days, stronger

I survived the crash, survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah baby but i learned
Survived the lies, survived the blues
Almost killed me but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like i was doomed,
I survived you

I can look in the mirror now
It's been a slow awakening
Haunted by a heart full of you
I couldn't help mistaking
That you could ever care for anyone
Anyone but yourself, hey-yeah
But you would have to have a conscience baby,
Good luck, I wish you well

I survived the crash, survived the burn
Survived the worst, yeah baby but i learned
Survived the lies, survived the blues
Almost killed me but I survived the truth
And when you wrote me off like i was doomed,
I survived you

This hearts been torn in two
Cut and bruised from too many bitter endings
I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you

When the world wasn't upside down, I could take all the time I had
But I'm not going to wait when a moment can vanish so fast

'Cuz every kiss is a kiss you can never get back

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night

When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven, well, you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting for this
This is the night

This is the night where we capture forever all our tomorrow's begin
After tonight, we will never be lonely again

Lift me up in your eyes
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you'd be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we'll fly
I've been waiting forever for this

I was fretting last night
Lost out in the cold
Couldn't see the light
Then she opened up the door
I came in from the dark
Fell into her arms
Just in time
Now I know that I
Left the past behind
We'll let it go

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again.
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

There's a look in her eyes
Makes me feel alright
Lights the perfect sky
That I couldn't see before
That she helped me to find
Now that I've seen her shine
I know I'll never be alone

'Cause now I know that I
Have love I can't deny
I won't let it go

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again.
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day
It's gonna be a perfect day

Think I lost you in another life
A part of me that I left behind
I won't go on without you
And now I know that I
Have put the past behind
I let it go

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again.
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

You could tell me tonight
That maybe the world would end
That the sun wouldn't rise
And it was gonna rain again.
Just as long as she's in my arms
It's gonna be a perfect day

Oooooo
Ooooooo
If one day you discover him
Broken down
He's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes
To make him who he's not
The woman at his side
Is all that he has got

Why do you ask him
Move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough
At the end of every day?
And how will you ever know
If the man is what he says?

Why do you ask him
Move heaven and earth
To prove he his love has worth?

Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

He never gives up
Let's go of his dreams
His world goes around
For his one true belief
Is that how you know?
Is that what it means?

Hey
Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you?

Will he be your anchor
When the dark unfolds?
Will he always love you
The best that he knows?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure a man?

Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that
Is that
Is that
How you measure oh-woh
Is that
Is that
Is that

Blue is the ocean in your eyes
Blue is cool September sky
As the lonely waterfall
Red is the fire in your heart
For the passion and love that we make
As the sunset is fading away
Angel, heaven starts here tonight in your arms
While I drown in your body, get lost in your charms
Now that you're here
Angel, don't go
Let's keep the mood nice and slow

All I want is your touch
All I want is your heaven right here by my side
Every night
All I want is your touch
All I want is your tenderness here in my life
Every morning and night
Girl, 'cause your touch is so right

Yes
I've been thinking about you
I've imagined the feel of your body
And how it will be when we move
Darlin', magic's alive tonight in your arms
While I drown in this moment, get lost in your charms
Now that you're here, don't move too fast
Let's make the moment last

All I want is your touch
All I want is your heaven right here by my side
Every night
All I want is your touch
All I want is your tenderness here in my life
Every morning and night
Girl 'cause your touch is so right

I don't want nobody else
And you'll see that my body is aching
I'm hopelessly taken by you

All I want is your touch
All I want is your heaven right here by my side
Every night
All I want is your touch
All I want is your tenderness here in my life

All I want is your touch
All I want is your heaven right here by my side
Every night
All I want is your touch
All I want is your tenderness here in my life
Every morning and night
Girl, 'cause your touch is so right (ah)
'Cause your touch is so right (ah)
(ah)
