Never in a Million Years

It’s a time in my life when my heart has just forgotten how to live.
Say good-bye to the thought I’d fall in love again.
Everyday of my life I resign myself to feeling numb inside.
Lonely nights are becoming too familiar.
Till I saw the face of a perfect stranger
And I knew that all I had lost was found when I looked at you.
And now I know –
Never in a Million Years could I –
Never in a Million Years ever find
Anyone who ever could come close to you.
Anyone who knows can plainly see
You have found the heart inside of me.
Ask me if I’ll ever leave you –
Never in a Million Years.
Once in a dream I remember meeting someone who defined all there was to a happy ever after.
Everyday intertwined as to what was real and what was in my mind.
Never thought that a dream could be so lonely.
Till I saw the face of a perfect stranger
And I knew that all I had lost was found when I looked at you.
And now I know –
Never in a Million Years could I –
Never in a Million Years ever find
Anyone who ever could come close to you.
Anyone who knows can plainly see
You have found the heart inside of me.
Ask me if I’ll ever leave you –

It Wasn’t Me

I could have been right.
I could have been wrong.
But I don’t want you to forget it.
It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me.
Hopelessly lost.
Inside of your bed.
But when I was gone who was in it?
It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me.
Love will leave you cold.
God only knows – it has a path of its own for you.
Just wait and see.
I’ll play my part and you’ll play your part without me.
You could have said yes.
You could have said no.
We both have our sides of the story – but –
It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me. It Wasn’t Me.

E-A-B & ME

E and A, B and Me
Living life together - like a family.
No time for G – no time for C
It’s all for one and one for all
It’s E-A-B & Me.

We never liked the Minors – they are oh, so sad.
I’m sure the Major Sevenths would agree.
However, the Suspended’s are a lively pair
As long as they resolve in E or B.

E and A, B and Me
Living out our lives in perfect harmony
We’ll never stray outside our key.
It’s all for one and one for all
It’s E-A-B.
E-A-B
E-A-B & Me.

The Waiting is Over

Used to be’s – aren’t always what they seem – in a memory
Good things always seem to be remembered.
But not for you and me – so I’m movin’ on
And I want to tell you that I
Feel alive – I’m learnin’ how to live for tomorrow
I’m taking back the me that you borrowed
I’m telling you – the waiting is over now.

Day by day – I always played it your way – just got along
Goin’ through the motions
But I’ve done my time – I’ve crossed the finish line – and I’m feelin’ strong
Strong enough to tell you that I
Feel alive – I’m learnin’ how to live for tomorrow
I’m taking back the me that you borrowed
I’m telling you – the waiting is over now.

Stop for a minute and please – please will you let me breathe.
‘cause all I want is what I want for me.

Would You Remember Me (at All)

Would you still remember me if I walked up to you?
Would you throw your arms around me like you always used to do?
Or would you just say “oh, hello, it’s nice to see you, I’ve gotta go.”
Or would you remember me at all
Did you throw away the memories that we shared.
Forgot how much we really both had cared
Oh would you remember me at all.

We were younger lovers — as far as younger lovers go
They grow up to find another — but for me it wasn’t so
I’m still in love with you today
And if you were to come my way
Oh would you remember me at all
Did you throw away the memories that we shared.
Forgot how much we really both had cared
Oh would you remember —
Would you remember me at all.

Look For the Light

I’ve got a felling deep inside of me
For every step you take there’s something more for you to see.
Now you’ve stopped believin’ in what you know is true
That life is all but lost until the gift of love shines through
All it takes is givin’ of yourself to know
And soon you’ll be just where you want to be you’ve got to go –
Look for the Light to find your life is only beginning
Open your heart up and go looking for the light
Tonight decide your life’s still worth living
If you just try and Look For the Light.

You had your reasons you sacrificed your soul
But you came away with nothin’ more than what you had before
Cause life won’t promise nothin’ - and time and time again.
You’ll never find the truth until you’ve found that love within.
Mistakes can be forgiven and who’s to really know.
Cause soon you’ll be just where you want to be you’ve got to go
Look for the Light to find your life is only beginning
Open your heart up and go looking for the light
Tonight decide your life’s still worth living
If you just try and Look For the Light.

The clouds above you will clear when you say
That anything can happen – that’s when you’ll find your way – find a way…

(CHORUS)

Letters of Love

Taking the time - hoping to find – all of those missed opportunities – waiting in line.
‘Cause I couldn’t see – what was in front of me.
Only the preconceived notions of – how I should be.
I always thought the cure for loneliness was love.
But, now I see – that love doesn’t make everyone happy.

It’s time to – take the Letters of Love – rearrange them to suit my heart.
It’s time to – take the Letters of Love – see them really for what they are.
It’s time to – take the Letters of Love – make the Letters of Love keep me from falling apart.

I felt so safe – all in one place – but once what I thought was a miracle – blew up in my face.
But what can be done – where can you run – when you’re – hopelessly waging a war that can never be won.
I always thought the cure for loneliness was love.
But, now I see – that love doesn’t make everyone happy.

(CHORUS)

I know love’s uncertain – but it’s time to raise the curtain.
Rewind your emotions – and try to start things all over again.

(CHORUS)

St. Peter’s Roll Call

I was right it won’t be long
‘Till they’ll be singin’ me some old mournful song.
But when it’s time I won’t be found –
When that old St Peter’s Roll Call’s goin’ down.

There’ll be talk and that’s a fact.
But I ain’t leavin’ when there’s no way back.
So, don’t drink to me when you hear the sound
Of that old St Peter’s Role Call’s goin’ down.

All of my friends – they’ve come and gone.
I kneel and I pray for their souls.
I’d really love to see them all again –
But right now I just don’t wanna go.

You might say that I’m a fool
but I have never played by the rules.
So I’m checkin’ out – I’m leavin’ town
When that old St Peter’s Roll Call’s goin’ down.

I was right it won’t be long
‘Till they’ll be singin’ me some old mournful song.
But when it’s time I won’t be found –
When that old St Peter’s Roll Call’s goin’ down.

Man On The Street

Christmas lights on my house until April
I gave up my workout routine.
Don’t have time for my oldies but goodies
My thrill is a cup of caffeine.

Dated girls from those online resources
But they never once heard my plea.
I tell ya it’s hard to look into the mirror
When nobody’s looking back at me.

I need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
A reason to get back on my feet.
As near as I can tell
I went from heaven to hell
I’m just another Man on the Street

I remember when they all recognized me
When I went to Starbucks for tea.
I played with the best in the business – I tell ya!!
I was in good company.

But like a sound of a train that you hear in the distance
The clicks on the tracks fade away.
But one thing you have to remember, my son…is
To know when to call it a day.

I need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
A reason to get back on my feet.
As near as I can tell
I went from heaven to hell
I’m just another Man on the Street

Don’t you ask me where I have been.
I’ve been here the whole time.
And changes always come with the wind.
And change is what I have in mind.

I need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on
A reason to get back on my feet.
As near as I can tell
I went from heaven to hell
I’m just another Man on the Street

Everybody’s Falling in Love

I was never concerned about true love
My heart like a wheel never knew love
I was just playing a part.

But you took me by surprise with that cute look
You looked in my eyes and my knees shook
You spun me around on my heart.

And it feels like
Everybody’s falling in love
Turn out the light you know i’ll be waiting
Everybody’s falling in love
I never thought that i would be saying
That everybody’s falling — everybody’s falling in love

I thought no one could find me
Till you brought your love to guide me
Now i know a lot more about love than before.

I’m sure now more than ever
That you cured something i never thought would occur
I’m falling in love more and more.

(Chorus, Last Verse, Chorus)

Madeline

In the evening we just sit alone
Asking one another why
We seemed to be so perfect then
And now it may all end
Oh, Madeline, Oh, Madeline
How do I love you?

In your eyes there’s someone waiting there
Is that someone really me
Or do I stand right by your side
Expecting what I hide
Oh, Madeline, Oh, Madeline
How do you love me?

Did we rush into something we weren’t sure of?
Was it love when we said our vows?
And if it was a love we had – where is it now?
Where is it now – I don’t know.

Should we say goodbye another day
And see if we could make it home
Or bring the story to its end
Just where do we begin?
Oh, Madeline, Oh, Madeline
Just where did we go wrong?

Lately I’ve been thinkin’ that I’m crazy
‘Cause lately I don’t know my name
And if we were to go back now would it be the same?
Would it be the same as before?

In the evening we just sit alone
Asking one another why
We seemed to be so perfect then
And now it may all end
Oh, Madeline, Oh, Madeline
How do I love you?

Just a Little Bit More

I’m all about you – and you know that it’s true.
And I know that I’m not the kind of guy you’d normally choose.

(Oh, woo....)

So I’m doin’ my best to change your mind – so I
Try Just a Little Bit More
Try Just a Little Bit More – yes I
Try – Try Just a Little Bit More

The more I see you – the more I want you to know
But when my eyes are saying “yes” – yours are telling me “no”

(Oh, woo)

Though I know that the odds aren’t on my side – I just
Try Just a Little Bit More
Try Just a Little Bit More – yes I
Try – Try Just a Little Bit More

Love is a beautiful thing – and I think you’d like to try it.
But love doesn’t come with a ring
Well don’t be absurd just say the word and I’ll buy it.

I dream about you – every night more and more.
But when I wake up I’m right back where I started before

(Oh, woo)

And I know that I’m hung out on the line – I just
Try Just a Little Bit More
Try Just a Little Bit More – yes I
Try – Try Just a Little Bit More

Why Are There Love Songs

It wasn’t hard for you to say good-bye.
And when I told you that I didn’t cry — well, I lied.
I haven’t been the same since you walked out that door.
So, why are there love songs, why are there love songs,
When you don’t love me anymore?

I’m like a sailor who is lost at sea.
Look up the word “alone” — a picture of me you’ll see.
I only wish it could be like it was before.
So, why are there love songs, why are there love songs,
When you don’t love me anymore?

Turn out the light — I can find my way.
But not tonight — ‘cause this broken heart can’t go home anymore.

So much for sentimental cards to write.
I’ve given up on those romantic sighs in the night.
And if I could I’d pick my heart up off the floor.
So, why are there love songs, why are there love songs,
When you don’t love me anymore?
When you don’t love me anymore?

We Tried

Hold me in your arms just one more time
Feel the love inside of me.
I really feel the pain of love’s demise
It’s in the eyes of you and me — of you and me.

So tonight let’s replace each other’s hearts
And tonight try to make a brand new start
And if all our dreams turn out to be a lie
Well at least we both could say — WE TRIED.

Giving up on all the love we shared
Just isn’t fair to you and I.
And living up to all that love and care
Though it’s there — we let it die — we let it die.

So tonight let’s replace each other’s hearts
And tonight try to make a brand new start
And if all our dreams turn out to be a lie
Well at least we both could say — WE TRIED.

I think of us when I think of tomorrow
But sometimes broken hearts get in the way
Of what we really want to say.

Again and Again

Again and Again I tell you — but you never, ever listen to me.
Again and Again I want to — but you’re always much too busy for me.
Again and Again I try to — tell you how I feel
Seems you’ll never know that I love you so.

Again and Again I call you — but you never, ever answer the phone.
Again and Again I come by — thinkin’ you’ll be there but you’re never home.
Again and Again I try to — tell you how I feel
Seems you’ll never know that I love you so.

Sometimes I think I’m wasting my time
Never getting what I should
But if I could see you ‘round
To show you my feelings – I would.

(Instrumental)
Again and Again I try to — tell you how I feel
Seems you’ll never know that I love —
You know that I love —
Seems you’ll never know that I love — you so…

Wasn’t it Nice

Wasn’t it nice doing it way back when.
It’s really too bad all of it had to end.
And wasn’t it nice thinking of things to do — and see.
Oh, wasn’t it so nice for you and me.

And wasn’t it nice doing things on our own.
And wasn’t it nice taking the long way home.
And wasn’t it nice thinking of things to say — all day.
Oh, wasn’t it so nice to be that way.

Before I arrived I never surmised ever falling in love with you.
But when I held your hand for the first time
And kissed you on the sand that I realized
That we were falling more in love as every day went by.

Wasn’t it nice being the only ones.
And wasn’t it nice being in love so young.
And taking it all into account I’m glad it’s true
That it’s still nice to be in love with you.

But when I held your hand for the first time
And kissed you on the sand that I realized
That we were falling more in love as every day went by.
Wasn’t it nice being the only ones.

And wasn’t it nice being in love so young.
And taking it all into account I’m glad it’s true

That it’s still nice to be in love with who?
Oh, you!
Ya, it’s still nice to be in love with you.

Over and Over Again

“It’s over.” — that’s all she said.
I heard a voice whispering inside my head — that I should have known.
But sometimes you go on believin’ — when the feelings start.
You take a chance on another broken heart.
But I should have known — but I continue

Over and over and over and over again
I just keep on trying
Over and over and over and over again
And my heart keeps dying to be everything that it could be
I guess I live for love.

She told me I was the one
The gift of love is an everlasting one — or so I’ve been told
Now it doesn’t matter.
Regret it — I thought she would
I guess it’s best leaving it misunderstood
But I should have known — but I continue

Over and over and over and over again
I just keep on trying
Over and over and over and over again
And my heart keeps dying to be everything that it could be
I guess I live for love.

I know it’s wrong to think she’s the only one.
So what’s the use in trying when your heart keeps holding on.

(Chorus)

Over and Over Again

“It’s over.” — that’s all she said.
I heard a voice whispering inside my head — that I should have known.
But sometimes you go on believin’ — when the feelings start.
You take a chance on another broken heart.
But I should have known — but I continue

Over and over and over and over again
I just keep on trying
Over and over and over and over again
And my heart keeps dying to be everything that it could be
I guess I live for love.

She told me I was the one
The gift of love is an everlasting one — or so I’ve been told
Now it doesn’t matter.
Regret it — I thought she would
I guess it’s best leaving it misunderstood
But I should have known — but I continue

Over and over and over and over again
I just keep on trying
Over and over and over and over again
And my heart keeps dying to be everything that it could be
I guess I live for love.

I know it’s wrong to think she’s the only one.
So what’s the use in trying when your heart keeps holding on.

(Chorus)

Take the Good with the Bad

She looks so good without no clothes on
She looks so good when she is dressed
She looks so good with all her make up on
She looks so good when she’s a mess
But I guess when you love somebody
You make the most of what you have
You take the good with the bad.
You take the good with the bad.

She looks so good when she is pouting
When she’s has all that she can take.
She looks so good when she is shouting
At every single move I make.
But I guess when you love somebody
You make the most of what you have
You take the good with the bad.
You take the good with the bad.

You may not find this too enticing
For a man like me to get along
Especially since she’s first in criticizing
Me whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong.
But I hope you all can understand me
I think you know what I’m going through
Cause when a woman wraps a man around her finger

There’s nothing much that you can do.
But I guess when you love somebody
You make the most of what you have
You take the good with the bad.
You take the good with the bad.

Kristina’s Lullaby

I wrote a song especially for my lover
With words of love I never would deny
A song of hope of living life together
In Kristina’s Lullaby.

Of all the things I’ve ever known about love
An open heart would always be my guide
To live today and every tomorrow
In Kristina’s Lullaby.

I always was the one who could resist
But I never thought it’d be like this
‘Cause now I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I know that dreams won’t always last forever
And there’s a chance that she could say good-bye
I’d be content just knowing that I loved her
In Kristina’s Lullaby.

Beyond the Clouds

Beyond the Clouds they say that there’s a road of cobblestone
And it winds along as far as you can see.
Through the hills and through the valleys to place where they call home.
I wonder if she’s waiting there for me.

Beyond the Clouds they say that there are fields of feather reed
That grow for miles and miles to a stream.
Where the mountain laurels flower and the lilies always bloom
Well I wonder if she’s waiting there for me.

I close my eyes and wonder just how long we’ve been apart.
Remembering the way it used to be.
Where love would last forever and protect us from the storms
But dark clouds took that girl away from me.

Beyond the Clouds they say that every wish you make comes true
Well if that’s the case then I will wait and see.
And the first wish when I get there — to that place Beyond the Clouds
Is that she will be there waiting just for me.
Then I know that she’ll be waiting there for me.
