Come back again
I want you to stay next time
Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you...and me

I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he had to go away
I still feel the words that he might say

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon...you and me

He's lookin' for a home
Cause everyone needs a place
And home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you...should...call...me

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon...you and me

And home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you...should...call...me

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon...you and me

Turn on your heartlight now
Turn on your heartlight now

Take a walk,
You can hardly breathe the air
Look around,
It's a hard life everywhere
People talk,
But they never really care
On the street
There's a feeling of despair

But everyday
There's a brand new baby born
And everyday
There's the sun to keep you warm
And it's alright
Yeah, it's alright

I'm alive
And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you need,
Well I've got the room
It's a simple thing
LyricsThat came to me when I found you
I'm alive
I'm alive

Every night
On the streets of Hollywood
Pretty girls
Want to give you something good
Love for sale,
It's a lonely town at night
Therapy
For a heart misunderstood

But look around,
There's a a flower on every street
Look around,
And, it's growing at your feet
And everyday you can hear me say
That I'm alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I've got love
And love is all I really need to live
I'm alive
I'm alive

And everyday
There's a brand new baby born
And everyway
There's enough to keep you warm
And it's okay
And I'm glad to say
That I'm alive

And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you got ,well I've got the room
It's a simple thing
That came to me when I found you
I'm alive
I'm alive
I wanna take all that life has got to give
All I need is someone to share it with
I've got love
And love is all I really need to live
I'm alive
I'm alive

And I don't care much for words of doom
If it's love you need,
Well I've got the room
It's a simple thing that came to me

And thank God I'm alive
I can take all that life has got to give
If I got someone to share it with
I got love and love is all you really need
I'm alive

Whenever I get down
I look to someone else
I need your love to bring me 'round
And so I must confess
I'm guilty

Of believing you to be
The better part of me
I never thought to look around
In times when more is less
I'm guilty
Guilty of lovin' you

'Cause I need you
Yes and I want you
You know you always bring me through

I'm guilty

And if you want to know
You really let me down
LyricsBut I won't never let you go
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
You're guilty of lovin' too

And you need me
Yes and you want me
And I won't never let you down
There's something in my heart keeps sayin'
There's something in my heart that's sayin'
You're guilty of lovin' too
I'm guilty

We were swept away,
We were taken by surprise
Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Then it came unexpected,
And we never even ran
We were standing unprotected
When the rain began

And the hurricane came,
And it never made a sound
So we never ran for cover
And it blew the house down
And it brought us together
Maybe tore us all apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart

When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When a hurricane blows
LyricsIt goes for the heart

But we built another house
And we made it out of stone
And we're stronger now together
Than we ever were alone
We were swept away
But never swept apart
When a hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
When that hurricane blows
It goes for the heart
For the heart

Was the power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes
Swept away
Taken by surprise
Power of the moment
Or the power of her eyes

Out in the night
We can burn like the brightest sun
Out in the night
There's a place
That I know of where we can be eternally
Forever one

Lost among the stars
I saw you there
And that was all that mattered
You and only you
Among the stars
And nothing else would matter

Lost among the stars
I saw your face
And I knew that was where
I always want to be

Among the stars
Just you and me
LyricsAmong the stars

Love can be like that
Can take you up
Or burn you out so badly

Lost among the stars
That summer night
When love will take you
When you're least prepared to go
I can't forget I love you so

Out in the night
We can burn like the brightest sun
Out in the night
There's a place
That I know of where we can be eternally
Forever one

Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going

Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going

Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going

Lost among the stars
The summer night
Can take you where you going

In Ensenada
We were running
from the things that we knew best
We only took the good and left the rest
In Ensenada

Out on the border
And we knew
it was the last chance we would have
So we took the chance
and tried for one more laugh
In Ensenada

"Hold me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
"And make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
LyricsLet's slow down and make it last

Like the first time
'Cause the first time
Never really left my mind
Came looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada

Come looking for the things we used to find
In Ensenada

"Hold me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
She said "Make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
You need me
The world is moving much to fast
Let's slow down

Come on and
She said, "Hold Me"
She said, "Need Me"
She said, "Love me"
"And make it last until tomorrow"

Darling
Believe me
Love me
We'll make it last until tomorrow

Darling
Believe me
She said, "Love me"
"Make it last until tomorrow"
Hold me and need me
She said, "Love me"
"Just make it last until tomorrow"

I'm a fool for your love
And it scares me somehow
What I do for your love
And what I need from you now
It's all because of you
You've gone beyond all my pride
To where my dream world begins
To where the little man hides
I need you so bad
And you're so far inside me now
That I can't turn you away
Well, you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
I'm a fool for you

I'm a fool for you

It's a wide open world
And it's easy to fall
In the eyes of the world
LyricsWhen you reach for it all
But it's because of you
You've overcome all my fears
You found your way down the road
To where I hide all my tears
And I need you so bad
And you're so far inside me now
That I can't turn you away
And you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
Well you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
And you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do


. . .



I'm reaching out
Trying to find you
Out in the night I'm flying blind
But I see the light
And you are the light

I'm holding on I need to touch you
You know it seems
No matter how much chase that dream
Well it's only a dream

I love the way that you look
When you say that "it's Alright"
I love the way I feel when I know that
It's Alright
Alright

Hang your star outside my doorway
Show me the light
And we'll go for the glory
You and me are one tonight
LyricsAnd anything that's done tonight
Is alright
Well its alright

Take a star flight ride with me
It's a star flight ride

I'm hanging on
Trying' to fight it
Keep control
So excited
Let's taste the night
Let's not waste the night
I'm overdue
Tired of waiting
Chasing dreams
Hoping fate will come through for me
Send you for me

And I love the way that you look
When you say that "it's Alright"
I love the way I feel when I know that
It's Alright
Alright
Hang your star outside my doorway
Show me the light
And we'll go for the glory
You and me are one tonight
And anything that's done tonight
Its alright
Its alright

Take a star flight ride with me
Take a star flight ride and see

Hang your star outside my doorway
Show me the light
And we'll go for the glory
You and me are one tonight
And anything that's done tonight
Its alright

Star flight
Well it's a star flight
Take a star flight
Hey it's alright with me

She wakes up
She's leaving
She sets out so assured
That she can find
The life that she believes in

She's glad now
It's over
She never should of gotten so involved
At least that's what she told him

And it' ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you

He wonders
What happened
LyricsHe thinks of all the things
He might have done
Why shouldn't she believe him

He wakes up without her
And never really knows
Just what went wrong
But it's all wrong without her

And it ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Another broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you

It ain't a Front Page Story
Won't even make the papers
Somebody breaks a heart in two
And it happens much too often
Won't ever make the headlines
Somebody's broken heart ain't new
Except when it happens to you
No no no

Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two

No no no
Oh no no

Somebody's broken heart ain't news
Except when it happens to you

No no no
Won't make the headlines
Somebody breaks a heart in two

No no no
Oh no no
Somebody's broken heart ain't news

Operator, please
Just get her on the phone
She's got to know
I'm comin' home

For I've been gone
For a long, long time
But it really doesn't matter
When she's there on the line
Been on the road for a hundred days
And there's nothin' gonna stop me
'Cause I'm there on my way

And I'm comin' home, comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home

Lost in time, almost lost my mind
But it really didn't matter
Lyrics'Cause I knew all the time
I was headed back to my very own bed
And there was never a look behind
And I only looked ahead

'Cause I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
Goin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home

I'll make it through all right
Just knowin' that you're there
Baby, I concede, you're all I need
It's more than I can bare

I'm comin' home, comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone

And I'm comin' home,
Comin' home
I don't sleep good when I sleep alone
I'm headin' back, I'm knowin' that
You can't make love on the telephone
And I'm comin' home


. . .



First you have to say you love me
It's no good unless you do
'Cause I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you

Yes, I need to hear forever
And if forever it never comes
Well at least I heard you say it
If only just for once
Just like you,
I need to be remembered

Just like you
I need to know you care
It takes to of us to be together
Just like one
When it's said and done
That's only fair

We could live for just the moment
But that moment it's gonna pass
Can't you see it's now or never
But if we need to be together
It's time for you and me to say forever
For how's it gonna last

Yes, I need to hear you love me
Baby, just like you
