Heaven Knows
03:17
|

Baby I was alone
where no love could find me
with all my dreams behind me
and then you took me home
gave my life some meaning
pulled me through the hardest times
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you
Baby you were alone
where no sun could shine through
but with my love to guide you
I pulled you through the clouds
to sail across the ocean
and fly with love’s emotion
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you
Heaven heaven knows
Heaven heaven knows
Heaven heaven knows
Baby it feels like home
to wrap my arms around you
and make sweet love the night through
yes I know how it feels
to bring our love together
through all kinds of weather
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you
Heaven Knows
I could not live a day through
without loving you

Carry the wind behind you
and never look back on that breeze
I know who you really are
you’re not the dreamer
you make yourself out to be
I offered you something
but you refused without a second thought
well It Might Have Been What You Needed
to work things out
Carry the clouds behind you
and never look back on that fog
I know where the gardens are
where flowers bloom all day
in the summer sun
I offered you something
but you refused without a second thought
well It Might Have Been What You Needed
to work things out
Who told you you’d last forever they lied
you’ve only today for pleasure
tomorrow none of this might seem right
so take what you need
and leave the rest behind
I offered you something
but you refused without a second thought
well baby
It Might Have Been What You Needed
Carry the wind…behind you…
Carry the clouds…behind you…

How Lucky Can a Lover Be
03:51
|
|||
Sometimes I feel alone
with no direction or home
when all I need is some sleep
and some sweet company
to carry on
You bring me joy
you give me love
you bring me happiness
when I’m up and when I’m down
How Lucky Can a Lover Be
to have someone like you baby
How Lucky Can a Lover Be
well just look at me
just look at me
When all that’s good turns bad
and what should be happy is sad
I know you’ll be there to right
all the wrongs tenderly with a smile
and your hand
You bring me joy
you give me love
you bring me happiness
when I’m down and when I’m up
How Lucky Can a Lover Be
to have someone like you baby
How Lucky Can a Lover Be
well just look at me
just look at me

With Friends to Drink
02:09
|

Don’t go knocking on my door
‘cause it’s still your home you know
you’re still welcomed and loved
as you were before
Never think it’s at an end
‘cause that’s when loving friends begin
to care and to hold you at night
when you sleep
The setting day marks the time
that the night will shine with rhyme
and your glass will be filled
With Friends to Drink
You’re the lover on my mind
livens me up when I think I’m dyin’
there’s more I could say I’m so happy
I’m sittin’ here cryin’
All at once I feel ashamed
loose emotions throwing blame
to win and to lose and to love
well it’s all the same
The setting day marks the time
that the room will smell of lime
and your glass will be filled with
your glass will be filled with friends
your glass will be filled
With Friends to Drink

Blue Moon Rising
04:07
|
|||
Who’d have thought you would leave me
all alone and faced with the moon
on this dark and lonely evening
I’ll be waiting till dawn or doom
So tell me why you are leaving
and won’t you please answer your phone
I don’t find this all so amusing
like pretending that you’re not home
I’ve never considered astrology
to tell me how my days will be
but something I read
in the paper this morning said
my stars are crossed
with a Blue Moon Rising
my stars are crossed
with a Blue Moon Rising
Once I had more than many
and to you I gave my heart free
there must surely be here a lesson
that I’ve learned hard to some degree
So now I wake every morning
and worry ‘bout nothing at all
I just read the words of my life in brief
to see if I’ll rise or I’ll fall
I’ve never considered astrology
to tell me how my days will be
but something I read
in the paper this morning said
my stars are crossed
with a Blue Moon Rising
my stars are crossed
with a Blue Moon Rising
my stars are crossed
with a Blue Moon Rising

You asked me if I would
I Might As Well I Can’t Dance
portraying all I could
I lost myself in the chance
sleeping while my eyes are open
wondering who am I to be chosen
refusing to believe the temptations
and yet takin’ them in and adjusting
to learning to dance for nothing
|

You stopped and said hello
your smile beside me
mesmerized me wanting me so
but that was long ago
when we were young
and thought our love would grow
how’d we know
You’d be walking away from all our dreams
walking away from reason
you’re forcing me to wish I’d never met you
I said it before well I’ll do my best
to bring you happiness
but when you’re walking away from lovin’ me
you’re Headin’ Toward Loneliness
You called me up and cried
you swear your love is true
so I greet you arms open wide
I looked into your eyes
they say to trust
to give you one more try
one more lie
Now you’re walking away from all our dreams
walking away from reason
you’re forcing me to wish I’d never met you
I said it before well I’ll do my best
to bring you happiness
but when you’re walking away from lovin’ me
you’re Headin’ Toward Loneliness

But Not With You
02:55
|
|||
Much of what I want to say
has been said before tonight
I’m sure in many ways
Most of what I feel inside
I’m no stranger to and
I can’t hide it away
though I’ve tried
There’ve been times in my life I failed
but still all in all my successes prevailed
and so I learned and grew
from loves I made or lost or saved
Now it’s yours I hope to share
as lovers dream of someone to
lean on you’re there
Mine is yours as yours is mine
through winter cold
summer rain or shine
till the end of all time
And in love how I played the fool
I won all the games though I broke all the rules
but now I feel I’ll work
it out someway because I love you
Much of what I want to say
is that it’s all been said
all been done
But Not With You with you

Take me up to your penthouse room
and let me wipe away your senseless gloom
sentimental teardrops can’t solve
all of the pain you’re going through inside
but a companion next to you just might
Send me off into a whirling wind
you know it ain’t so bad when you’ve got a friend
and soon what is will pass us you’ll see
how it so easily fades away in awhile
and it will open up your world to a smile
Though it can get cold
when you’re alone lonely
you’ve got A Friend On Whom You Can Rely
Take me up to your penthouse room
and let me wipe away your senseless gloom
sentimental teardrops can’t solve
all of the pain you’re going through inside
but a companion next to you just might
Though it can get cold
when you’re alone lonely
you’ve got A Friend On Whom You Can Rely

Every Time I Bend to Tie My Shoes My Back Itches
everywhere I walk I listen for the car screeches
I’ve come along so slow
in deciding which way to go
but I’ve grown up so very fast
you know it could be worthwhile
if I could find me a smile
that would ignite a fire under my
ask me if I’m happy as if you think I know

To Be Without Your Love
04:30
|
|||
I never knew a love
like this could exist
except in my dreams
but here you are
sharing your love with me
softer than the rain and
warmer than the sun
you are to me
And I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
The innocence of love
a kiss on the cheek
the tingling inside
a smile from you when
I take your hand in mine
brighter than the stars
higher than the sky
you are to me
And I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
Because of you I have no reason
for singin’ the blues ‘cause you’re with me
everyday every season
I never knew a love
like this could exist
here in my arms
and I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
Because of you I have no reason
for singin’ the blues ‘cause you’re with me
everyday every season
I never knew a love
like this could exist
here in my arms
and I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love
I hope I never know what it’s like
To Be Without Your Love

Just Make Sure You Know
03:32
|
|||
When your nightmares are over
and you wake up to better dreams
Just Make Sure You Know
that I’m still here
I’ll make sure you know I’m here
When the world around you crumbles
and you are left out on the street
Just Make Sure You Know
that I’ll be here
and together we’ll find somewhere to sleep
We’ve got to have a time
that’s all our own
and a place where we can go
and be by ourselves alone
So when the mood you’re in is passing
and looking up you smile at me
Just Make Sure You Know
I’ve waited here
‘til you thought you were ready for me
We’ve got to have a time
that’s all our own
and a place where we can go
and be by ourselves alone
When your nightmares are over
and you wake up to better dreams
Just Make Sure You Know
that I’m still here
I’ll make sure you know I’m here
