[No lyrics]

You and I in this moment
Holding the night so close
Hanging on, still unbroken
While outside the thunder rolls
Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Warm against life's bitter cold
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know
There are times that scare me
We rattle the house like the wind
Both of us so unbending
We battle the fear within
All the while, life is rushing by us
Hold it now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know

So we'll whisper a dream here in the darkness
Watching the stars till they're gone
And when even the memories have all faded away
These days go on and on

Listen now, you can hear our heartbeats
Hold me now and don't let go
These are the days
The sweetest days we'll know


Written by Jon Lind, Wendy Waldman, Phil Galdston

For the life of me
I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high
Every night I wish that I
Could tell you how I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there

Let me take time out
To try and find out
If this could be real
Cause reality scares me
I've been living a fantasy
How should I feel

Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there
I'll be dreamin'
Dreamin'
Hoping baby you will be there

Written by Montegomary/Paschal

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last


Written by Waldman/Lind/Galdston

I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride
And now you're always working late
You never have much time for me
And you're expecting me to believe
That ou're not out with she ...please!
Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you won't mind
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another
And he is my lover
And I'm going out for the rest of your life
CHORUS:
I betcha never thought I'd go that far
I betch never thought I'd break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never

I know that everybody lies, that I know I can't deny
But what if they're intentional, the intention of your crime
Cause I know how much I can take, I know my heart demands a change
If I can't have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another
And he is my lover
And we're going out for the rest of your life

CHORUS

Written by Babyface

Life can be strange, somethings we forget
or rearrange in time, lose the past
Tell me the truth, tell me how can I know
that this new love of ours, that its gonna last

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

What's in a name, his life just a game
we color then erase (we've been erased), when we lose face
How many lives, tell me how many tries
before we get it right (before we get it right), the truth is inside

I need your strength and I feel your worth
with you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

When I never weak, so weak
to scared to speak
When I never low, so low
to tell me, you will never need

Where do we go from here it's clear
You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone
Where do we go from here I know
No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

No matter what the road, your love will lead me home

Show me a heart that's got no passion
I'll show you a heart that's got no life
Show me a man that doesn't give his heart
I'll show you a man that tells you lies
Ooo you can try to run, but there's nowhere to hide
Love is stronger than your lies
Oh and ooo, you can deny it all you want
But love will win, it's just a matter of time
You know you can't run from love
You know, you know
You know you can't run
Ain't nowhere to hide
You know, you can't run you know
You know, you know
You know you can't run
Love is stronger than your lies


Show me a heart that's not committed
I'll show you a man that doesn't try
Show me a heart that doesn't die for love
I'll show you an empty man inside
Ooo you can run, but you won't find no place to hide
Love don't want your heart to die
Oh and ooo, you can deny love all you want
But love is strong and love won't be denied

You know you can't run from love
You know, you know
You know you can't run
Ain't nowhere to hide
You know, you can't run you know
You know, you know
You know you can't run
Love is stronger than your lies


Written by Babyface

I used to wonder what I would do
if every dream I wished for suddenly came true.
You don't imagine (that) someday you'll have to choose,
for everything you gain there's something that you lose.

But if I had wings,
I'd fly with the angels,
the song of the heavens
would set my heart free.

But here I am,
still chained to the ground.
I gotta find the only song, I'm meant to sing,
and then I'll fly, though i don't have wings.

There was a moment it all came clear,
and I could see the winding woe that brought me here.
you never notice just when it slips from sight,
until you're miles from home and stranded in the night.

But if I had wings,
I'd fly with the angels,
the song of the heavens
would set my heart free.

But here I am,
still chained to the ground.
I gotta find the only song, I'm meant to sing,
and then I'll fly, though i don't have wings.

But here I am, with my face to the sky,
I wanna feel the wind, touch the clouds,
leave with all my mind.

If I had wings,
I'd fly with the angels,
the song of the heavens
would set my heart free.

But here I am,
still chained to the ground.
I gotta find the only song, I'm meant to sing,
and then I'll fly, though i don't have wings.

Your face, my door
Haven't we both been here before
Slight trace no more
You're with me somehow
Your touch, my hand
Softspoken words I understand
Nights spent, days planned
I'm asking you how

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Quick turn, long stares
Is that a shadow, or are you there
You feel so near
What is this confusion

Ooo your voice soft and low
Blends in my ear with breezes that blow
No choice I know
I ask my illusions

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Night goes, and day's here
I can still remember the taste of a tear
I still face a cold stare
The essence of someone is constantly here

Can this be real
I can almost feel your touch
But you're not there
This, I need you in the end

Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Can this be a dream that fades in morning light
Can this be real
Can this be love I'm feelin'
Are you what you seem
Will you be real tonight

Your face, my door
Haven't we both been here before

Written by Serafini

Sister moon will be my guida,
in your blue, blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silverlight
I would gaze at your face the whole night
Though I'd go out of my mind but for you
I'd go out of my mind but for you
Lying in a mother's arms
the primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun my eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart when it's warmth that it seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you


My lover's eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for him explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
I'd go out of my mind, but for you


Written by Sting

Whatever happens
We left some love along the way
But it ain't easy
We'll think of some words of love to say
And we'll smile oh, and be happy anyway
And we'll kiss before we say goodnight
And whatever happens
There'll be some times along the way
When it ain't easy
It just can't be sunshine on everyday
And we'll smile oh, and be a happy anyway
And we'll kiss before we say goodnight

I've got you in my life
Together we can reach a higher ground
We'll be alright
Just as long as you're around
I won't let you down

And whatever happens
There'll be some good times and some bad
But it ain't easy
Let's just remember the good times that we had
And we'll smile oh, and be happy anyway
And we'll kiss before we say good night

Written by Withers/Cariton

I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Haven't known you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too much too strong

Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart

CHORUS:
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you

Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That you're seeing each and every day
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend
When I know that's not where I want it to end

How could this be wrong
When the feeling's so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart

CHORUS 2X

No I don't want to start no trouble
Between you and I and your lover
But I must tell you what I'm going through
Everytime you walk by I see love in your eyes


Written by Donald Robinson

I realize that now our love is past
Tried so hard to make it last
Feelings are far gone
They seem to fade away
But yet I can hear him say
We did try, tried our best
To make it through those times
Let's stop, don't go any further
'Cause I need some time
Darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
I never understood your reasons why
And darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
These lonely nights without you
I guess it's goodbye

And I never thought that I would hear you say
I should go on my own way
Tell me, can't you see the changes
That you put me through
I wonder if you really knew
How much I tried my best to make it
Through those times
But you said stop, don't go any further
'Cause I need more time
Oh, baby and...

Darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
I never understood your reasons why
And darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
These lonely nights without you
I guess it's goodbye (Goodbye)

Darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
I never understood your reasons why
And darlin' I know you never ment to make me cry
These lonely nights without you
I guess it's goodbye (Goodbye)
