REO Speedwagon

Now there's nothing left to do
but to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
and I still can't forget those weeks I had with you

But I guess it was only a summer love
Nothing too serious and nothing to last
I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love

Once we both loved just a bit too hard
for deep down we both knew it was dyin'
And we both talked just a little about forever
but we both knew we were doing some lyin'.

Now the snow falls, freezing my hurt for you
but some nights I feel it's still there.
I've come back now to the life I've known before you
but I doesn't have the same old meaning.

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue.
Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do.

We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you."
We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue.

It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say.
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue.

After Tonight
Staring up at the moonlight
Looking up at the stars
I'm alone and I just want to be with you
But I don't know where you are
Maybe I took you for granted
So blind, I let your love slip away
Now I'm missing you so much I can't stand it
Please believe me when I say,

After tonight, I never will be the same again
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love I can
After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right
After tonight

Anticipating the moment
When I can make love with you again
Patience is a virtue I'm finding
Very hard to understand

After tonight, I will never be the same again
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love I can
After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right
After tonight

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you

If I don't get to heaven
For the things that I've done
I guess it's all just history now
Too late to be the innocent one
I know that I've been led astray
Love has torn me apart
But each day is a victory now
Since you have given peace to my heart
Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
Wheels kept turnin around
And I kept losin ground
‘Till you stopped me from fallin again

The love that you've given me
Is a love that is true
And each time I feel like running
I come running home to you

Back On The Road Again
Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way

Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin and we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through your town to play

(chorus) ooh, bye-bye baby

(solo)

Found myself heading down toward Springfield
The last sign said it was twelve miles west
It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets

The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday
So I walked through his house and saw his tomb
I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag
I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom

Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois
Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years
Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight
And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It may be a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday

I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin'
I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel
But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music
I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel

There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons
Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend
But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special
And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It maybe a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday

Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Listen to my words now look no further
What you've seen is what I mean no more
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
They burn like cancers they just won't let you live

I've been known
To love more than one person
And I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
We move like dancers steppin on each other to live
And pouncin hard
Like animals in the yard
And there's no healin, lookin, feelin
There's no denyin that bein kind can hurt
Someone sometimes
Oh, there's no denyin, woah Lord there's no denyin
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it's gonna be all right.

Now don't go thinking your life's a mess
Rather start thinkin' in terms of happiness

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again

It takes time sometimes to figure out
That there's nothing to worry about
And that there's plenty to be thankful for
It takes time sometimes to know the score

See everybody's got a smile inside
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again

You got that far away look in your eyes
But are you looking at me or at some other guy?
Who's got you hypnotized, got you mesmerized
Keep you tranquilized with ever kind of lie
Still he makes you cry so baby, realize that I

I'm gonna break his spell
I'll put him in his place
And get you out of this hell

I'm gonna break his spell
Take this relationship
And send it straight to the well

I'm gonna break his spell
Baby, I'm gonna break his spell
I'm gonna break his spell, yes, I will

It's been a while since I've known something's wrong
At first you had me thinking everything was gone
I got a late start, I let him steal your heart
I let that fool come in and tear our world apart
But he's not that smart, another love shark and I

I'm gonna break his spell
I'll put him in his place
And get you out of this hell

I'm gonna break his spell
Take this relationship
And send it straight to the well

I'm gonna break his spell
Baby, I'm gonna break his spell
I'm gonna break his spell, yes, I will

I'm gonna break his spell
I'll put him in his place
And get you out of this hell

I'm gonna break his spell
Take this relationship
And send it straight to the well

I'm gonna break his spell
Baby, I'm gonna break his spell
Oh, I'm gonna break his spell, yes, I will

Oh, yes I will, oh, yes I will
Gonna break his spell

Another day in the city
Another dancer to the music
But lately, all the music sounds so strange
Well some songs have no meaning
And some songs try to hard
Tryin to say it all
And end up saying nothin

Well maybe the words ring true
What's right for them
Maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway
To Breakaway

Another day lost in livin
And another same old beginning
And knowing where and why we went wrong
Someone says I've changed
And someone says that I've remained
In the same place
For maybe just a little too long

(chorus) (piano solo) (chorus)

Building The Bridge
Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start
We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine

There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there

And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine

As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge

I can't fight this feeling
any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to
let it flow
What started out as friendship
has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength
to let it show
I tell myself that I can't
hold out forever
I said there is no reason
for my fear
Cause I feel so secure
when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than
I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this
feeling anymore
I've forgotten what
I started fighting for
It's time to bring this
ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
Cause I can't fight this
feeling anymore
I've forgotten what
I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl
upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby I can't fight this
feeling anymore
My life has been such a
whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in
circles in my mind
And it always seems that
I'm following you girl
Cause you take me to the places
that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than
I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this
feeling anymore
I've forgotten what

I think to much about you baby
You've on my mind more than you should
I would do without you now
I would walk away now if I could
I never needed anybody baby
I'm the one who never thought I would

*I keep telling myself I don't need you
I keep telling myself I don't want you, now
I'd tell myself anything to make me believe
That I don't love you baby
But I can't lie to my heart

Something's got me running to you
Something tells me I can't run away
Even if I thought of leaving
The thought of you would only make me stay
No one's ever gotten to me baby
I'm the one who always got away

*Repeat

I can't tell the sky that it's not blue
How can I tell you that I don't love you?

I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...

The whole thing started 1963
Young girls screamin'
Black and white T.V.
I was so ready, for something to set me free
Those four boys from England, singin' right to me

That night I had a dream, of a rock 'n' roll band
Everyone said no, no, no. I said yeah, yeah, yeah

I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...

Never really fit in
Couldn't quite be cool
Got my ass kicked up and down the halls of my high school
When things got too crazy
When life got too cruel
I would just remember the boys from Liverpool

When I was lost, they were there to hold my hand
When everyone said no, no, no. They said yeah, yeah, yeah

I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...

I can't fight this feeling
any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to
let it flow
What started out as friendship
has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength
to let it show
I tell myself that I can't
hold out forever
I said there is no reason
for my fear
Cause I feel so secure

Do you know if she's sleepin' alone tonight?
Well, you might be right and you might be wrong
when you say you trust her alone
But this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night
Do you know where your woman is tonight?
So you think you know where your woman spends her time
And you think you know her every rhythm and rhyme
Well, I thought so too, baby, long a ago
But now I know how a blind man sees
'Cause this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night
Do you know where your woman is tonight?

So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about


He's got plenty of cash
He's got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He's hot


But don't let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go


He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The wait may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for
Baby I don't know


But don't let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go
Don't let him go

I've been trying to run my life
Using every trick I knew.
I say anything anytime to anybody.
I do what I always wanted to.
But that's no way to keep me happy.
It's an old disguise.

I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise.
I can't seem to end my day
Until I feel something's said and done.
A flashy guitar or a hot new car
Or at least a little fun.
But that's no way to keep me healthy.
It's an old disguise.
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise.

Drop it. Drop it. It's an old disguise.
Drop it. Drop it. Open up your eyes.
Drop it. Drop it. You ain't got nine lives
Drop it. Drop it.

South of the border and busted,
Caught by a woman I trusted,
Now don't you call me a fool,
It could have happened to you,
It's just my luck,
It had to happen to me.

Sweet Carmelita betrayed me
She said, "Take me home, serenade me."
I figured a song could do me no wrong.
I didn't know how wrong I could be.

Easy money for just one run to Peru.
It'll be so easy. We'll have no trouble gettin' through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. Hello prison yard.
Goodbye easy money. Easy money.

The chiquita must have told 'em my story
'Cause when my eyes finally focused next morning
Carmelita had spoken 'bout guitars and some coke
And she laughed as they slapped me in chains.

I was thrown in cell with a killer.
A convict who coughed through the night.
While I laid awake with the chills and shakes,
Hoping for a file in a cake.

Easy money for just one run to Peru.
It'll be so easy. We'll have no trouble gettin' through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. Hello prison yard.
Just to make me mad he smashed my guitar.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Easy money

Every now and then when the lights are low
Every now and then when the wind does blow
Every now and then, I think of you

Every now and then when a girl walks by
And holds her head like you held yours high
Every now and then, I think of you

And once in awhile when the sun sets right
And the full moon glides like a diamond in the night
Every now and then, I think of you

Bridge

And I remember you and I
In a soft golden light
Nothing like here and tonight
I won't hear about anyone's life but our own
And all that I have is hope
Baby you never know

Every now and then when a friend says, "Hi"
And asks about us I just wanna die
Every now and then, I think of you

I wanna say everything's just fine
But only a fool could believe that line
Still every now and then, I think of you

Backwoods killer from a river town
A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down
High school rebel, he's always been bad
And his poor old man's still wond'ring 'bout the lad
But he's gone, gone away to find his fortune.

There's a long-haired lady lookin' for a home
With her young son, he'd left them both alone
And his black-haired lover's got a broken heart
'Cause her lonely boy just won't play the part
'Cause he's gone, gone away to find his fortune.

And it's been a long, long way
From that little town to L.A.
And I can't turn around
Ladies, I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune.

A restless nature fed my crazy dreams
So I packed my bags in a big limousine
laughed at the people who were laughin' at me
Laughed and said I'm gonna be what I be
And I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune.

I saw you at midnight, in a dream that I had.
From nowhere, you stood there, and you seemed so sad.
And a vicious decision is drivin' me mad.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You were different, indifferent, unbelievably cool.
I approached you, to show you, that I'm nobody's fool.
And an error, caused terror, as I sensed your dare.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby I've got a start.
Should I follow my head?
Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or my heart?

Should I follow my head, or my heart?

Night and day, day and night
I do my best to do things right
Never meant to ever hurt nobody
And if I should in some small way
Ever rain on your parade
I will make it up to you I promise

Ever since I met that girl
There's no one else in the whole wide world
Said she'd stay and be with me forever
Mysteries have long been told
About the girl with the heart of gold
And you know I think that I have found her

Chorus

Because every time she looks my way
I lose control, what can I say
She's everything I've ever been after, oh,

I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold

My life is runnin like a stock car race
High speed and lots of curves
Keep the pedal to the metal, win or lose
But don't lose your nerve
Some people live in fear
If you can call that living
I'm gonna keep my ass in gear
And take the chance I'm given

*I'm gonna go for broke, play to win
Do or die, just don't give in
Take a shot, roll the dice
Don't look back, just go for broke

My love is spinning like a steering wheel
Just grab it and hold on tight
Feel the power in your hands
Take me right to the edge tonight
Some people love in vain
If you can call that lovin
So let's hit the streets again
It's all or nothin

*Repeat

Standing on the razor's edge
But I'm not going under
Every night I'm on the line
Livin like my days are numbered

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand

Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......

(repeat)

Babe, I'm gettin' the message it's finally comin' through
After the show I'll get a hold of you
Baby, I've got your number and I remember your name
And I've got a feelin' I know why you came

Chorus

So let's get in some good trouble tonight
Get ourselves in deep
We can stay awake and dance all night
We can always sleep
Don't let them tell you it's a mortal sin
Cus' I know it's alright
And if your mama asks you where you've been
You've been in some good trouble all night

I'll be here again next year, and there you'll be again
And I'll barely know half the places I've been
But I can almost remember, so it was almost real
I never know how I'm going to feel

Chorus

Good trouble all night
Good trouble's all right

I've never seen the sea seem so calm.
I've never felt the breeze slippin' through the trees.
But now I've got you and it's takin so long.
I want to see more.
I gotta feel more.

I never felt young 'til I met you.
Never felt fear 'til I thought about losin' you.
Only a fool would think that it's all true.
I want to see more.
I gotta feel more.

I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than I've ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
I've seen the world through an eagle's eye.
I've felt the ocean's roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.

I never did believe that mountains could move.
Never did believe that the Yankees could lose.
I never thought love could come my way.
I want to see more.
I gotta feel more.

I never felt young 'til I met you.
Never felt fear 'til I thought about losin' you.
Only a fool would think that it's all true.
I want to see more.
I gotta feel more.

I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than I've ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
I've seen the world through an eagle's eye.
I've felt the ocean's roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.

How did we end up ending up this way
I always thought that we could work it out
At times I wondered if we'd last out the day
But my love was always stronger
Stronger than my doubt
Then here we are, are we running out of time?
We've come so far to leave it all behind
But that's how I feel
I wanna know how you feel

I'd walk all night for you baby
Stand in the pourin rain
But you gotta meet me baby, half way
You know that I don't wanna give up
Do anything to make you stay
But you gotta meet me baby, half way

I couldn't tell you what you meant to me
I kept those feelings hidden far away
And hoped that you could tell by looking at me
Now you know what you needed
Is too late to say....

That I love you more than I ever knew I could
And I need you now like I never thought I would

I thought about livin my life without you
In this cold, cold world
Well I'm no man of steel
But I'd walk on fire for you
That's just how I feel

I'm gettin' heavy on your love
Every night
Gettin' ready for your love
With all of my might
I was crazy for your love
Never stayed around you love
Aw but you make me deadly

I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love.

Heavy on your love,
Old enough to wait
Got a letter full of love
And it's just about to break
Cause my love was never real
I could touch but never feel
Ah, but you make me deadly

I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love

Maybe it's too late, but this feelin' is runnin' through my soul
I think I learned what love is, but I'm afraid I let it go.
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind,
Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside.

You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night,
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright.
But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear,
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me.

Here with me.
I don't know where you are
All I know is I need you to be
Here with me
I know it's not too late
to turn around and get it straight,
It's my fate to have you here with me

I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die
I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky
So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go?
Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold

I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night,
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright.
Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me.

(chorus)

(repeat chorus)

Here with me (are you here with me?)
I don't know where you are (don't know where)
All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa,
Here with me
I know it's not too late (know it's not too late)
to turn around and get it straight
Here with me...

Hey, wait a minute Something just ain't right Hey, wait a minute
Something's just not fair
I was supposed to win the lottery
I'm supposed to be a millionaire
I'm supposed to be a worldwide tourist
With lots of equity and life insurance
Yes I'm supposed to be a gold card member
Rubbin' elbows with the big time spenders
I'm supposed to be a wealthy man
But all I've got are blistered hands
Hey, wait a minute!

Hey, wait a minute
There's got to be a better way
I'm workin' twice as hard but gettin' no richer
Than I was yesterday
I'm supposed to drive a big Mercedes
Live in a mansion full of naked ladies
I'm supposed to own my own casino
Be a superstar like Sammy, Frank and Dino
Some day I'm gonna be a big success
And tell my boss to kiss my ass

Hey, wait a minute
Something must be wrong
I'm supposed to be dining on caviar
And drinking Dom Perignon
Yes I'm supposed to have open invitations
To classy country clubs all across the nation
Yes I'm supposed to have jewelry and diamonds
And a fifty foot yacht I can sail around the islands
I'm supposed to be so carefree
But all I've got is misery
Hey, wait a minute
Something's just not right

You have said as much as you can say
Your heart is just about to overflow
Must be something more I can do
Some new plateau
I'm listening to you
Dying to know
Everything that your feeling
Every change you undergo
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know

I do' wanna know how much you love me
I do' wanna know how much you care
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know
I do' wanna do what I'm supposed to
I do' wanna wear what I'm supposed to wear
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know

You are gonna do what you must do
You are gonna go where you want to go
You are gonna hear what you hear
Fear what you fear
Don't say a word
Don't let it show
You will be what you will be
You will reap everything you sow
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know

How can I show you?
I take back what I told you.
'Cause something happens when I hold you,
And that makes everything all right.

And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
I just need you tonight.
I wrote all I can write.
I just need you tonight.

In need you tonight.

Secrets I keep here.
Buried so very deep here.
If only somehow you could sleep here,
you'd make everything all right.

I was with you, you were alone
Now I'm standing here
Wisdom came only after you'd gone
Now I'm starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought you'd disappear

In the night your spirit arises
With it comes the pain
I hope I'm dreaming cus it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you, I'm alone in some room
I just never thought you'd disappear

I still love you like a child
Wasn't that good enough?
I still want you, it drive me wild
The pain is just too much
Maybe I've lost enough

Time heals all, so they say, I don't know
Sometimes nothing's clear
Maybe someday I'll understand
But I know for a start
There's a place in my hear that is yours
And it won't disappear

I still love you like a child
Wasn't that good enough?
I still want you, It drives me wild
The pain is just too much
I still love you

I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.
I've got the time, and I've got the place,
I just wish you were there.

I've the will to have you around.
Whether you're up, whether you're down.
And I know the way
To make you shine.
I've got the will, and I've got the way,
I just wish you were mine.

I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.

I just wish you were there.

I've the will to have you around.
Whether you're up, whether you're down.

To make you shine.

I just wish you were mine.

Whether you're up, whether you're down.
And I know the way
To make you shine.
I've got the will, and I've got the way,
I just wish you were mine.

Late one night on a road in Texas
I pulled into an all-night cafe
What's my pleasure? Well ma'am the fact is, I don't know

Sat down next to a "Rajun' Cajun"
A black haired beauty from New Orleans
Did my duty can I buy you a drink dear
She said "Please"

Bridge

(So) we rolled right along,
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?

Then she sang her song
Said "If I come along
You must find a place in your heart for me"

I was lost on a road to nowhere
And asked if she was goin' my way
She was late for a date with no one
(So) please don't leave

She'd just left a love that was dying
And had no plans of goin back
I caught her eyes as she was crying
"Let's make tracks"

Bridge Chorus

She said, "I'll follow , I'll follow you on your dare
Your eyes say something, your heart better care
You're lost and you're lonely, I've been to long there
So I'll follow, I'll follow you...anywhere

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

Oho, in my dreams

In your letter ooh in your letter

Lookin' for a love
Searchin' everywhere
I can't get enough and I don't really care
If it takes a lot of waitin'
'Cause I've got the time to spare
It's gonna take a lot more lovin'
But we got plenty of that around here.

Laughin' heading home a woman could be fine
Flying back alone, I don't really mind
'Cause it gives me the time for thinking
How so many people just ruin their lives
Folks miss out on so much lovin'
By picking it up before it arrives.

I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere.

Lookin' for a love
Searchin' everywhere
I can't get enough and I don't really care
If it takes a lot of waitin'
'Cause I've got the time to spare
It's gonna take a lot more lovin'
But we got plenty of that around here.

I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere.

Just For You
This is just for you
I dedicate everything I do
My fear is gone
And I feel so strong
Love has never been so true
I've never seen what I see in you
I watch you sleep
Your beauty runs so deep
Wherever you go, I'll walk beside you
And whatever you need, I will provide you
Take my hand, and make me your man
'Cuz I live just for you
And I give just for you
And your love has me wanting to
Be the best man I can be
I believe in forever
Just for you and me

This is just for us
A future built on truth and trust
And your sweet touch
I want you so much
Wherever you go, I'll walk beside you
And whatever you need, I will provide you
Take my soul, and never let go

'Cuz I live just for you
And I give just for you
And your love has me wanting to
Be the best man I can be
I believe in forever
Just for you and me

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though i know all about those men
Still i don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And i meant, every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

And i'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing i wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And i meant every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

(chorus)

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though i know all about those men
Still i don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And i meant, every word i said

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah

Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
Everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)

Keep Pushin

Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long

You've been changing so much
I'm not sure your in touch with what's real
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel
And I'm livin here in doubt
There's so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out

Chorus

We've been through this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up
If we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep lookin' for the good

A man once said love is all you need
And if not right he was close indeed
It won't pay the rent
Won't buy your shoes
But it's time well spent if it keeps away the blues
It won't turn the tide or stop the rain
And deep down inside there might be a little pain
But you still go through it
Cause it gets you through the night
Cause when you get down to it love is all right

Love is all right
Love is all right
Oh, love is all right

When your girl walks out you just want her back
You got to have her now and that's a fact Jack
Cause as big and bad and mean as you are
You can't watch you're woman in another man's car
You wanna keep that girl in you're passenger seat
You wanna find her groove, wanna keep her beat
So if you have to do it, you're ready to fight
Cause when you get down to it love is all right
