They met in a small cafe just down the street He could tell by the look in her eye her heart was weak He sat at her table and she got up to leave He smiled and said "don't go please" All I want's some company So he bought her dinner and they sat silently and in that sacred moment he set her hart free He never asked a question she never said a word He reached out to touch her hand but he lost his nerve And he tried to find the words. She wrote down her number on a half of serviette But he had it memorized before she left They parted way that night not so easily and as he turned to leave she kissed him on the cheek And he tried to find the works He picked up the phone to call about quarter past nine Then at eleven he thought lost his mind Three A.M. he knew she'd be asleep And at Six Thirty he was feeling weak. And he tried to find the words To find the works I think I love you I need you Do you feel the same way to Sometimes it hard To find, to find the words

Last night we were talking walking Down the lane just you and I And it was so amazing hey yeah As we looked to the sky I whispered these words to you As we walked along Holding hands at twilight Just after the sun sets free Dust that dances in moonlight Oh that could be you and me living innocently So what's holding us back you ask And I replied with an I don’t know Then we stood staring wondering What makes us the way we are? We don’t need big money or new cars All we need is to be Holding hands at twilight Just after the sun sets free Dust that dances in moonlight Oh that could be you and me living innocently And in a heated moment everything turns to stone And like the old rhyme goes time turns stone to dust And the wind will carry us away Holding hands at twilight Just after the sun sets free Dust that dances in moonlight Oh that could be you and me living innocently

With You 04:16
With you I can sit and watch the hours roll by And with you I can drive all night and not get tired With you is where I want to be right now With you is where I want to be I’ve seen this place somewhere before It’s locked deep within my heart I keep it locked behind closed doors Cause I don’t want to fall apart this time With you I can sit and watch the hours roll by And with you I can drive all night and not get tired With you is where I want to be right now With you is where I want to be I think I want to talk with you now Don’t want my words to come out wrong The way I feel for you is so strong I think I’ve fallin in love this time With you I can sit and watch the hours roll by And with you I can drive all night and not get tired With you is where I want to be right now With you is where I want to be

Tell Me 03:19
Ain't it funny how things change It just doesn't stay the same Another face another name Another Job goes down the drain We you know that's life Tell me do you hear me Tell me do you see me Tell me are you listening Or should I keep repeating And you know that's life Remember yesterdays gone by Friends that come and go in the night And all the times you told a lie and now you want to set things right Well you know that's life Tell me do you hear me Tell me do you see me Tell me are you listening Or should I keep repeating hmmmm I walked along last night Trying to get things right I know you've been there too It's the same thing for me and you Tell me do you hear me Tell me do you see me Tell me are you listening Or should I keep repeating Tell me do you hear me Tell me do you see me Tell me are you listening Or should I keep repeating And you know that's life you know that's life

Marianne 04:10
You can sit there and I will watch you And I will paint pictures of you And you can lie there and I will watch you And I will write words about you Inspire me please Don’t say anything Words will spoil the moment Your mind is not what They want you for They say don’t ask questions and do as you told And you’ll go far in this world Marianne the world ain’t what it seems no And Marianne you’re a beauty queen oh But beauty isn’t everything And you can try to speak you words But only into your mirror world No one’s there to hear you plea And there are kind ways in your heart Girl be graceful don’t fall apart When they say Don’t ask questions and do as your told I say don’t listen to a damn word they say Marianne the world ain’t what it seems no And Marianne your silent screams haunt you And Marianne you’re a beauty queen oh But beauty isn’t everything Marianne the world ain’t what it seems no And Marianne your silent screams haunt you And Marianne you’re a beauty queen oh But beauty isn’t everything Wish someone had told you when you were younger Beauty isn’t everything

This ain't a song about love This ain't a song about life This ain't a song about me This songs just right This ain't a song about peace This is a song about truth This ain't a song about us This songs for you Tell me how many times Have you heard a love song Every time you turn the radio on Tell me how many times Have you heard a love song When your all alone in the night Trying to cure what’s inside Trying, trying hard not to say What I'm feeling in my heart today See late last night on the radio I heard this song and it touched me so The words ran true right through to my heart About a man who's been torn apart Well listen to what the man had to say And I pray to god to take my soul If I can't have you then I wanna let go My life ended when you walked out that door I don't know what I'm gonna do Living alone without you Still I say How many times have You heard a love song Every time you turn the Radio, Radio on Listen to a love song Playing on the radio late at night Oh D.J. don't play another love song Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight

We don't talk anymore It's just hello and goodbye I'm feeling lonely and that's for sure Lately all we do is fight Well, you don't need to wash my dirty laundry All I need's some piece of mind I don't want to fight I'm tired and hungry I just need a little time you know I've got too much on my mind I work three jobs to pay the bills And that's my own sacrifice You stayed at home to raise the kids Now you miss your busy life Well, you don't need to wash my dirty laundry All I need's some piece of mind I don't want to fight I'm tired and hungry I just need a little time you know I've got too much on my mind And I'm not blaming you For all the things that have gone wrong Girl all I want to do is work things out So we can get along Well, you don't need to wash my dirty laundry All I need's some piece of mind I don't want to fight I'm tired and hungry I just need a little time You don't need to wash my dirty laundry All I need's some piece of mind I don't want to fight I'm tired and hungry I just need a little time you know I've got too much on my mind

She steps of the door step and into the the street She checks her pockets and turns her cheek He shouts through the window I can't find my keys She says that's your problem Cause' I've decided to leave And ohhh ohhh isn't it a pity How it all works out You keep looking for something from someone but they never figure it out She walks to the corner and waits for a cab She's heading for no-where She wants to get there fast She stares down the highway Sit's back in her seat Traffic's moving so slowly And she can feel her heart beat And ohhh ohhh isn't it a pity How it all works out You keep looking for something from someone but they never figure it out There's a time to leave That time is hear for me There's no use left in crying She's through trying She's walking out on him And ohhh ohhh isn't it a pity How it all works out You keep looking for something from someone but they never figure it out And ohhh ohhh isn't it a pity How it all works out You keep looking for something from someone but they never figure it out

You wake up in the morning And you have to wonder why Why things are the way they are And why people have to lie They’ll tell you that it’s over When the show has just began They give you the knife that cuts you But they won’t tell no one So when your back’s against the wall Look them in the eye Tell them you won’t take the fall No your not gonna die Cause the show it must go on Like the night must break to dawn The show it must go on Down the line and through your life Would you follow me? Into the night Would you trust me? With your life You go to see your preacher And he gives you his big line Reading word for word His contradicting rhyme An eye for an eye The never ending lie And turn the other cheek now Until I run and hid Well my god never said those words And an atheist I’m not God loves us for what we are Not what we say or do Cause the show it must go on Like the night must break to dawn The show it must go on Down the line and through your life Cause the show it must go on Like the night must break to dawn The show it must go on Down the line and through your life Would you follow me? Into the night Would you trust me? With your life

When I saw you across that lonely bar room I never expected this And I know that we had both been lonely And then we kissed And all those nights we spent alone Now their gone Just look at us now compared to then And tell me this will never end Look in my eyes and you'll see the truth Girl I've been wanting you And then we kissed And I know that you've been hurt before But remember so have I Don't lock the door to your heart I'm knocking There's no need to hide. And all those nights we spent alone Now their gone Just look at us now compared to then And tell me this will never end Look in my eyes and you'll see the truth Girl I've been wanting you And then we kissed Ohh and then we kissed
