[No lyrics]

Just once in my life
If I could find someone, if once
The feeling was right
I'd never let her go.

I'd always be there
If I could have my chance to be
The only one
Iy just isn't fair.

Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.

I'm searching my dreams
I'm trying to recognize that face,
Oh, who can it be?
She's calling out to me and now.

I'm running to her
But everytime I get this close
She vanishes
Inyo the night.

Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.

Is it ever come to pass
That I find a love that lasts
Or is that too much to ask?

If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love
If I could only hold on to love.

You wanna know if I care for you
You ought to know by now
How can you stand there just pretending
And you know how I feel.

'Cause baby, you're my love
And I love everything you do to me
You're my love
And I love when you're around
You're my love
And I've never let you down.

You wanna know what I see you
I can really say it for sure
All I know is I need you
More than I've ever needed
Anyone else before.

'Cause baby, you're my love
And I love everything you do to me
You're my love
And I love when you're around
You're my love
And I've never let you down.

Seasons changing faster than they do
And we'll be gone
It's funny but we didn't seem to care
The only thing we cared about
Was keeping you out, our strong
As long as you're there
I'll always care...

I can do try to tell you that I've gotta let go
Now I'm wondering why
God knows I don't even know.

I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
I don't care if it's wrong or right.

This feeling inside of me
Is more than some fantasy
Is bigger than you and me
It must be time for love.

I've spoken my mind
Nothing left for me to say
Oh it's black and is white
Not to standing in your way.

Stay tonight hear and see
Shake your body with me
And I'll show you
Two hearts on fire.

You're reaching out with your eyes
Got me so, hit the tides
Now that you realized
It must be time for love.

So hold me with all your might
Take me all through the night
Make everything just try
It must be time for love.

They don't make 'em like they used to, those guys
And I can't get used to the way that it is today
No one to look up to, hard times, and though I try
I just can't find the reason these days
And it seems like the seasons are passing me
They're going by, nothing to hold on to, rough times.

And it goes on, so count on me, and I'll count on you
You can lean on me, two of us stronger
We won't be alone any longer
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, into any storm, we're gonna survive it
Into any fire, we'll carry on.

Know that one day you and me will both be old friends
And we'll sit on the sofa and talk about how
They don't make 'em like they used to, you'll see
As time goes on, so count on me, and I'll count on you
In a world like this, when nothing's sure
And people are afraid, I'll be here for '
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, they don't make it now like they used to
They're not gonna last like you and me, I'll be there.

Oh, always we will be, year by year
Depend on me, into any storm, we're gonna survive it
Into any fire, just count on me, I'll be there
Oh, tough guys, you and me, year by year
They will see, they don't make it now like they used to
They're not gonna last like you and me...

Life is good, love is better

Life is a hustle, every day struggle
Pushing your way at the top
Gotta keep it on track and never look back
And no, you don't dare stop.

There's someone behind you keeping an eye on you
Hoping you take a fall, a lady, she's liked to see me more
But I can't slow down at all.

She says: wow, I need some time alone
I say: no, we gotta keep pushing on
She said: life is good, love is better …

My daddy, he always preached to me
You gotta reach for the sky
Make rain while the sun is shining
Boy, don't let it pass you by

Money and power is in your hand
You can do what you wanna be
Oh, my baby, she's got a different philosophy.

She says: ….

Now I know my sweet lady must be heaven sent
I just cover the meaning of what she meant
I've been working so hard for the good life but I headed all the while
I've found my hiding treasure, baby, right there in this smile.

I say: wow, seems we've spent time alone
I say: wow, how our love has grown
She was right all alone

I say: life is good, love is better …

After all this time

We used to think our love would be a fantasy
But things don't always turn out loud
There supposed to be
Hearts can break
And I won't surrender with so much at stake.

After all this time
Did you think I let you slip away from me
Girl, we've come too far
Just to turn our love into a memory.

Did you think that I can push you aside
All that we've been through
Me and you, never give a try
After all this time.

Easy to turn and walk away
When love goes wrong
Harder to stay and work it out
But if the love is strong
We must choose to hold on to something
We don't wanna lose.

After all this time ...

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago.

I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody's left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that's where
All my friends would meet
You'd be surprised to know what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago.

All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier twenty years ago.

I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
