Repeat

Do you ever feel the words
stuck on repeat
Its the one song I hear
whenever you retreat
Permanent goodbyes
feel like a cold deceit
but I'll hurt much worse
if you never choose to speak...

Infinite

Every drop of rain

is a footprint
or a stain
towards you
but in vain

Everywhere rain falls

you'll hear my voice
it calls
upon your choice
to be without me

Tears from angels' eyes
drown the thunder
mask the sighs
echoes of your goodbye
will haunt me

Infinite proof again
my love for you
is your pain
inside of your heart
I remain...

Every drop of rain

Empty Arms

I thought you would call today
I hoped that when I went away
You'd miss me love
You'd even long to kiss me love
But now all I feared of you
Is happening  -- it's coming true
You're satisfied
You're happy and content inside
So I walk, I crawl, I run to you
But find there is no reason to
make this journey
take this journey
back to you
Did you watch as my confidence
Faded away to common sense?
Eventually you -- in self defense
will turn and walk away
Instead of a place
A fireside, a home
with empty arms and space
I am alone

I’m Sorry

I waited for you late last night
in spite of all your alibis
I can't take this anymore

I'm sorry...baby

The last I heard your heart was gone
and now I sit here all alone
Just thinking what you said to me

I'm sorry, baby

(C) Now I can't go home
to the place that I've always known
Your arms around my fantasy
the loving that you gave to me
How could I have known
You'd be better off on your own
Just let me stand here in the rain
It's falling on my foolish pain
'Cause I'm wishing it were yesterday

Are you sorry baby?

Our music's all been played
Your kiss upon her lips won't fade
And I know that I should have stayed

But I'm sorry...baby

And Though

The sun is setting on our love
I know that you have to go
back to the place
I know that you must be
I miss you, but I know that you can feel me - I'm there
Just close your eyes and believe

(C)
And though we may be far apart
Our hearts are always closer
I love you
More than you know
I'll close my eyes
And dream away
Feel your arms around me
Just hold me
Please don't let go

Tomorrow when you wake me with
your smile -- it's my sunshine
I'll kiss your lips and look into your eyes
And through the day remind you that
after we say goodbye
You're always there on my mind

(C)
And though we may be far apart
our hearts are always closer
I love you more than you know
I'll close my eyes and dream away
Feel your arms around me
Just hold me
Please don't let go

(RC)
I'll say my prayer for the gift of you
my blessing forever
Just hold me
Please don't let go

Just hold me...
Never let go

Empty Eyes

I can't believe this is happening
                        Too many nights of waiting for you to
                        walk through the door
                        Her kiss on your lips
                        Her taste on your mind
                        My territory traced with her
                        fingertips

                        I don't know why
                        I'm hoping that
                        you will look back
                        on all of the things
                        that we had shared
                        How much I cared
                        How much I held you close to me
                        so you wouldn't be so scared

                        And you stand there
                        and I cry
                        but you don't ask me why I'm hurting
                        Don't you feel
                        the goodbye
                        Is there anything left inside
                        Your empty eyes

Losing Time (Country)

Woke up this mornin'
                        sun was shinin' on me
                        but I heard the rain
                        and knew that I was dreamin'

                        I thought about all the pain you caused
                        and the things you said to me
                        as I packed my bags
                        and told you I was leavin'

                        Honey did you mean to hurt
                        my heart again like that
                        I really thought that we had
                        somethin' that would last forever

                        I realized when I saw your face
                        you had thrown it all away
                        I guess I should have known
                        nothing lasts forever
                        Well I think they're right
                        you never should say never

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm fighting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you
                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        Now it seems that everything
                        has fallen into place
                        You got your life, your new wife
                        and baby, you got your freedom

                        But did you know
                        that I was willin'
                        to try anything
                        to be the best, to be your only one

                        You didn't hear me beggin' you
                        to give our love a chance
                        Instead you turned your back
                        on someone who adored you

                        But maybe somewhere down the road
                        I'll find the answers to that
                        and I can heal my heart
                        maybe love again
                        Yeah I'll heal my heart
                        and I will love again

                        (c)
                        I'm losing time
                        and I can't find you
                        I close my eyes
                        and I see you standing there
                        Did we give up before we tried
                        where did we go so wrong?
                        I'm tasting tears
                        that you have made my blue eyes cry
                        cause I'm missin' you

                        but I don't know...
                        how to turn back time

                        how to make you mine

                        how to turn back time...

                        I'm losing time

Patience in the Rain

There is a place
                        where I can go
                        My smile disguises
                        what no one knows
                        Inside of my head
                        into your heart
                        My safety zone
                        is your loving arms

                        Now too many times
                        I'm missing you
                        The world's eyes are closing
                        to blinding views
                        I have to run away
                        to feel your kiss
                        Cuz you're the only one
                        who can bring me....

                        (C)
                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I 've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        The patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...
                        down.

                        Storms can be ruthless
                        but I can't ignore
                        The fact that I'm waiting
                        outside your door
                        Clouds can be beauty
                        but they can hide
                        what you cannot say
                        what you feel inside

                        I can be stronger
                        can see this through
                        to another day -
                        just to be with you
                        Though so many times
                        I want to turn away
                        The sun shines your laughter
                        for me and....

                        (RC)
                        You lie there dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what we've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        (RC)
                        Down I lay dreaming
                        Rain falling softly
                        No need to make sense
                        of what I've found
                        Feel my desire
                        You have inspired
                        the patience I have for the rain...
                        Falling...

                        Blissfully dreaming
                        Kissing you softly
                        Loving you sweetly
                        while the rain...
                        is...falling...

                        Down

Coming Home

Traffic's a maze
                        red lights and haze
                        are bringing me closer to you
                        I can't stop waiting, anticipating
                        all of those things that you do

                        Feel my sweet kiss
                        this true happiness
                        when the sunset brings you to me
                        I can't stop smiling
                        feel so excited
                        now that my world is complete

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        I want you know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        Candles burn bright
                        making sweet love all night
                        'till daybreak takes you away
                        Look in my eyes
                        and feel my warm touch
                        I'll pull you to me
                        and beg you to stay...

                        (C)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        the rain begins softly
                        I whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door
                        So glad you're home

                        (bridge)
                        Though rushing hours
                        may call your name
                        I'm waiting here for you
                        Time moves so quickly
                        and I'm getting ready
                        to show you what you mean to me

                        (C -soft)
                        Walk out of your day
                        and into my arms
                        I've missed you
                        and want you to know
                        Feeling the moment
                        I dim the lights slowly
                        and whisper (whisper, whisper)
                        as you close the door...

                        So glad you're home

More

Whispering words
                        only you can know
                        taking you into me
                        so I can show you
                        the passion I've kept
                        deep inside
                        but knew I'd forever
                        have to hide it away

                        From the moment I saw
                        the look in your eyes
                        fate played a part
                        in entwining our lives somehow
                        Together we can feel
                        and know that ache
                        without risking chances
                        we can't possibly take for now

                        I remained desperately yours
                        in loving admiration
                        of the pleasure you showed me
                        dreams you shared with me
                        and the satisfaction...

                        (c)
                        So take me gently
                        but love me with your heart
                        eyes into eyes
                        we begin to start the fires
                        Desire burns deeply
                        throughout the night
                        by drinking your passion
                        you give me new life

                        One that I have
                        searched for so long
                        examining faces
                        listening to songs that spoke to me
                        Now we lie still
                        in each other's arms
                        closing our love
                        away from all harm and pain
                        I look once more
                        to be certain it's no dream
                        and silently sigh content
                        as you hold me close...

                        (c)
                        Take me gently
                        but love me with your heart
                        eyes into eyes
                        we begin to start the fires
                        Desire burns deeply
                        throughout the night
                        by drinking your passion
                        you give me new life

                        I look once more
                        to be certain it's no dream
                        and silently sigh content
                        as you hold me close...
                        skin to skin...
                        and we listen to the rain

I Will

Woke up this morning
                        looked outside our window pane
                        And then I saw you
                        you were dancing in the rain
                        How do you do that?
                        Take me everywhere you go
                        I'm glad I found you
                        and I think that you should know

                        (c)
                        That I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We're walking down this unknown road
                        and we're turning it into bliss

                        It's such a high
                        It's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...
                        someday I will

                        They say that love is
                        what you give is what you earn
                        But I know better
                        It's a slow and steady burn
                        So overwhelming
                        the way you wash right over me
                        Your gift of passion
                        it has finally set me free...

                        (c)
                        And I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We're walking down this unknown road
                        and we're turning it into bliss
                        It's such a high
                        and it's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever
                        someday I will

                        (bridge)
                        So baby take my hand in yours
                        Let me know you understand
                        The way you make me feel
                        is real....

                        (aco)
                        And I feel your touch
                        I can taste your kiss
                        We walked right down that unknown road
                        and we turned into bliss (drum in)
                        It's such a high
                        and it's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...

                        (softer)
                        It's such a high
                        It's such a thrill
                        to give back the love that you've given to me
                        and make you mine forever...

                        Someday I will

Saturated

I crossed the bridge
                        walked away from you
                        went searching for
                        a different view

                        Couldn't find something
                        to satisfy
                        All I could do
                        was sit and cry

                        (C)
                        So if you know me
                        you will finally see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your misery

                        You tried to call
                        to apologize
                        But I went away (again)
                        to avoid your lies
                        Now I am gone (now I am gone)
                        and you are too (are you)
                        But I just can't seem
                        to get over you

                        So if you know me
                        you will finally see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your misery

                        Didn't learn
                        what you said you wanted me to be
                        for you
                        Didn't turn
                        around and see you walk away again...
                        Again...

                        (interlude)

                        (stac)

                        I crossed that bridge
                        walked away from you
                        but I couldn't go
                        couldn't see it through...

                        Because you know me
                        you will always see
                        I'm right here waiting
                        for your company
                        Anticipating
                        what you'll take from me
                        I'm saturated by your ---

                        (break/silence)

                        MISERY

You Don't Care

I gave you my heart
                        gave you my soul
                        gave you my naked body...
                        I want you to know this
                        you can't control me
                        just take what I have given

                        All that you were wanting
                        that you decided
                        was worth the pain you caused and now
                        it's so damn easy to walk away
                        and leave me empty standing there...

                        But you don't care

                        I keep getting weaker
                        Can't hold the secret
                        to surviving this with you
                        And then you tell me
                        it isn't over
                        we still have so much more to feel...

                        You come inside me
                        and hold me closer
                        You have become my everything
                        What are you doing
                        My mind is breaking
                        from all the things that we once shared

                        But you don't care...
                        No...You don't care

                        (bridge)
                        It's so confusing
                        Are we abusing each other
                        Just to say we dared
                        Or do we care...

                        Now time is passing
                        and I am longing
                        to be with you once again
                        But you can't see me
                        Won't let you hear me
                        I'm in a place you'll never -

                        Find me growing colder
                        becoming stronger
                        I can forgive but not forget
                        Because the pain
                        you made me swallow
                        It hasn't left my heart just yet...

                        But you don't care
                        Oh no
                        You don't care
                        Why don't you care
                        Why don't you care

                        You don't care
                        No
                        You don't care....

                        You never cared

Stronger

Chorus
                        Take a look at me now baby
                        I'm the sight you thought you'd never see
                        I thought it about it all
                        from the rush and to the fall
                        Thought you could break me in two
                        Didn't know how well I'd do without you
                        Now how's your life without me
                        Take a look, I'm stronger baby

                        I wanted to take you away
                        thought you wanted me to stay
                        Couldn't see the crash straight ahead
                        remember all the things you never said
                        Crossed the line
                        turned too fast
                        Knew in my heart
                        you'd never last
                        Slammed the door
                        been here before
                        had enough....yeah more than enough....

                        (Chorus)
                        Take a look at me now baby
                        I'm the sight you thought you'd never see
                        I thought about it all
                        From the rush into the fall
                        Thought you could break me in two
                        Didn't know how well I'd be without you
                        Now how's your life without me
                        Take a look I'm stronger baby

                        You won a game it wasn't hard to do
                        Told me lies and buried the truth
                        Tore me apart when you took my heart
                        threw it down
                        no feeling there
                        hit the ground
                        you didn't care
                        I turned around
                        had enough...yeah more than enough...

                        Chorus x2 to fade

I Wish That You Were Here

I was there
                        You were too
                        We had to take a chance
                        We had to see it through

                        You're in my heart
                        My thoughts are true
                        No matter where I am
                        I'm always feeling you

                        Just you...

                        And this unexpected pleasure
                        behind door number one
                        has taken me away from all my fears
                        I want your arms around me now
                        holding me so close
                        I'm finding you to let you know...
                        I wish that you were here

                        Time has passed
                        Seasons changed
                        But the memory of those days and nights remain
                        Your smile's the sun
                        Your voice the wind
                        Your kiss became the rain....

                        And that unexpected pleasure
                        behind door number one
                        took me far away from all my fears
                        I still want your arms around me now
                        holding me so close
                        I'm finding you
                        to let you know...

                        I wish that you were here

The Real You

It's cold outside
                        I'm here waiting
                        dreaming of you

                        Where are you now
                        I'm lost and lonely
                        trying to break through

                        This love
                        This life
                        This pain
                        This madness
                        This weakness
                        Confusion

                        This trust
                        This truth
                        This promise
                        Do you believe
                        it's all an illusion
                        of love...

                        Talk to me
                        and let me see
                        the real you
                        behind the wall

                        Lead me home
                        to your heart
                        Together we can start
                        to feel the fall

                        So years have passed
                        I'm still waiting
                        dreaming of you...

                        Of you

Push

I know the words seem simple
                        but they really don't compare
                        to the way I feel about you and
                        how I miss you when you're not there

                        You tell me it's not perfect
                        but you can't tell my heart what's right (no, no)
                        I can't control that part of me
                        that wants to stay and fight

                        (CHORUS)
                        Other worlds collide and stir the confusion within
                        Follow that desire, make it real when it can be and we
                        both can win
                        I can't take it back - don't want to change a thing and
                        the past has already gone...
                        My thoughts come back to you always and forever end up
                        in a song (your song)

                        You don't understand
                        why or how it happened or
                        how long you can take this? (no, no)
                        It's complicated I know,
                        I lie awake and fanatasize about your kiss

                        I see myself in your arms..
                        before and after and more...
                        Even knowing that time catches up and
                        pulls you through that revolving door

                        Other worlds collide and stir the confusion within
                        Follow that desire, make it real when you know you want
                        to give in
                        I can't take it back- don't want to change a thing and
                        the past has already gone...
                        My thoughts come back to you always and forever end up
                        in a song (my song)

                        See...baby...my words may not sell albums
                        or even make you mine (no, no)
                        But you have to know
                        the love I feel for you
                        will outlast those ticking sands of time

                        Keep my truth locked away
                        deep inside of you
                        and hear it once in awhile
                        Just remember from now until then -
                        it was you behind my smile

                        (CHORUS)

                        My thoughts come back to you always...(pause...echo...)
                        and forever end up in this song (our song)

Forgotten (extended version)

CHORUS

                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        [We knew...]
                        Turning back the clock as far as it could go
                        [We tried...]
                        stealing moments along the way
                        [We hoped]
                        desires and fantasies planned and unplanned
                        [We lost]
                        memories began to fade away

                        CHORUS
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        [We thought]
                        keeping it together was the way to survive
                        [We tried]
                        locking the secrets deep within
                        [We left]
                        shattered pieces of honesty and truth
                        [We ran]
                        looking for a new place to begin

                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        Ooooooh

                        (BRIDGE/BUILD UP)

                        We took it all for granted
                        (but it)
                        felt so good and right
                        We left it all to chance and time
                        (oh yeah)
                        turning day into night
                        (but oh)
                        You can't escape the distance
                        (don't try)
                        waves crash and sand falls fast
                        (so fast)
                        please follow me into the future
                        (for now)
                        I know it just won't last...

                        CHORUS
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever,
                        and I'll follow you into a forgotten time

                        Yeah....
                        Take my hand - please baby
                        take my heart and
                        follow me into the future so sublime
                        Give me one breath of yours
                        to keep inside of me forever...

                        and I'll love you in a forgotten time

Missing

[(Intro) Mmmmm...Mmmm...Yeah....Yeah. (X2)]

                        You say you could deal with it-
                        when push comes to shove
                        You think you could convince yourself
                        it's not about love

                        You tell me to think about it
                        before I make my decision
                        But baby you don't realize
                        It's you I'm always missing.

                        Please...

                        (CHORUS)

                        Don't try to act too cool
                        Don't play me like a fool
                        Don't say too much to send me far away
                        Don't you know my heart
                        won't keep us far apart
                        I'll always be missing you this way...

                        I know that I could handle it
                        'cause I really need and want you
                        I know that I could be just fine
                        (as you say)

                        I think about you day and night
                        Don't matter if it's wrong or right
                        But you'll never be all mine....
                        (that way)

                        So please....

                        (CHORUS)

                        Don't try to act too cool
                        Don't play me like a fool
                        Don't say too much to send me far away
                        Don't you know my heart
                        won't keep us far apart
                        I'll always be missing you this way...

                        So...now....

                        We're both handling it well
                        (As far as you can tell)
                        It was here and now
                        you just can't stay

                        You're not confused -- you don't think much
                        You don't even miss my touch
                        losing me -
                        a small price you had to pay

                        And...

                        (CHORUS - REVISED)

                        You tried to act too cool
                        You played you like a fool
                        You said too little and sent me far away
                        You never knew my heart
                        You kept us far apart
                        (you know...)

                        You'll always be missing me this way

Strawberries in June

I stood on the edge
                        tried to fly away
                        but you wouldn't let me go
                        I just had to feel
                        Something inside had to be alive

                        (c)
                        You're like a
                        sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June
                        (that's how you're makin' me feel)
                        You're the wind rushing my body and touching my soul
                        (yeah you make me feel free)
                        And I am always there
                        waiting for you
                        and wanting to be
                        (to be)
                        Your sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June...
                        Oh how you make me complete

                        Then I thought of you
                        and the way you laugh -
                        it fills me up inside
                        Everything you are (to me)
                        Makes me believe
                        I can finally be alive

                        (c)
                        You're like a
                        sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June
                        (that's how you're makin' me feel)
                        You're the wind rushing my body and touching my soul
                        (yeah you make me feel free)
                        And I am always there
                        waiting for you
                        and wanting to be
                        (to be)
                        Your sweet succulent taste of strawberries in June...
                        Oh how you make me complete
                        You're my sweet succulent taste of strawberries in
                        June...
                        Yeah you've made me complete
