ROLL BACK THE YEARS
Roll back the years
Take back the tears
Back to the days
When we had no fears
Roll back the nights
Take back the fights
Remember the days
When love burned bright
Roll back the highs
Take back the lies
Remember the days
When we had the prize
Roll back the time
Take back the signs
Remember the days
When you were mine
Roll back the dreams
Take back the screams
Remember the days
Before the scenes
KEEP ON KEEPING ON
When you got no place to go
Keep on keeping on
When you got no hope to show
Keep on keeping o
When your world is full of tears
And when your heart is full of fears
When others lies’ fill your ears
Keep on keeping on
When you think all laughters gone
Keep on keeping on
When you think you’re always wrong
Keep on keeping on
When love fades in her eyes
And your beaten back by others lies
Remember that hope never dies
Keep on keeping on
When skies above are always grey
Keep on keeping on
And kind words just go astray
Keep on keeping on
When you’re the butt of others games
And people call you cruel names
Remember dreams are borne in flames
Keep on keeping on.
I DON’T CARE
I don’t care
If its day or night
I don’t care
If its going right
I don’t care
What you do
All I want’s
To be close to you
I don’t care
Who badmouths me
I don’t care
What they see
I don’t care
If the sun don’t shine
All I want
Is for you to be mine
I don’t care
And I don’t know
I don’t care
If they all go
I don’t care
I know I’m right
All I want’s
You here tonight.
THE ROAD TO HELL
It used to be the road to heaven
The road to your door
The road I used to run down
I don’t go there no more
It used to be the road to your heart
A road I knew so well
But I found myself walking
Down the road marked to hell
It used to be the road I loved
The road from me to you
The road I used to run down
To the first love I knew
It used to be the road to somewhere
Before you cast your spell
Now it’s the road to nowhere
It’s the road marked to hell
It used to be the road I loved
For I knew every door
The road always travelled
To love I needed more
It used to be the road to heaven
A road I knew so well
But when you up and left me
It became the road to hell.
SERENDIPITY
There’s something in the air tonight
Can’t see it but it sure feels right
It’s floating down like falling snow
Dropping blessings on the folks below
And you and I in diff’rent parts
Of the city that has no heart
Will feel it fall and touch our soul
And feel the dreams that stir us all
I dreamt a dream
A dream of you
I never knew
A dream come true
And you and I dreamt our dreams
In diff’rent parts and diff’rent scenes
And still I never did meet you
We didn’t know, what to do
But tonight I see the stars align
And brought our paths to cross in time
In Prospect Park beneath snowflakes
It came at last to we that wait
I dreamt a dream
A dream of you
I never knew
A dream come true.
TELL ME WHY
Tell me why
I don’t love you
Tell me why
I wanna know
Tell me why
I don’t need you
Tell me why
I’ve gotta go
Tell me why
I should love you
Tell me why
I wanna hear
Tell me why
I should trust you
Tell me why
Do I fear
Tell me why
I find I’m crying
Tell me why
I wanna know
Tell me why
I feel like dying
Tell me why
I’ve gotta go
Tell me why
When we’re together
I wanna know
Tell me why
No loves forever
Tell me why
I have to go.
AROUND
Guess who just came back today
The one who loved you but went away
Now I’m back and here to stay
This time I’ll stick around
I just thought that you should know
I never did want to go
And all the time I loved you so
I guess I’ll hang around
Every day that passed me by
I guess my life was just a lie
So give my love another try
This time I’ll stay around
You know this time I’ll be alright
I’ll hold you close all through the night
I’ll still hold you in dawn’s early light
My love is all around
I’ve been away for too long
I know that I got it wrong
But in your arms I belong
I want to be around
Now’s the time that I am near
Whisper love into your ear
Make love where there was just fear
I’ll always be around.
WATER IN THE DESERT
Water in the desert
Flames on the sea
Dagger in my hearst
That’s what you did to me
Pain thru the day
Death every night
My days are hell
Since we’ve been apart
Hammer to the head
Axe to the tree
I have been cut down
Never will be free
Water in the desert
Flames on the sea
You can’t return
You have broken me.
A LITTLE TOO WELL
I’ve known you
For too many years
I’ve known you
I know your fears
You know me and you can tell
I’ve known you
A little too well
I’ve known love
Off and on
I’ve known love
Seen it go wrong
Love knows me
And it will tell
I’ve known love
A little too well
I’ve known sex
Both bad and good
I’ve known sex
You knew I would
Sex knows me
And it can tell
I’ve known sex
A little too well
I’ve know life
The ups and downs
I’ve known life
Poets and the clowns
Life knows me
And it can tell
I’ve known life
A little too well.
A NEW WORLD IN THE MORNING
It’s early morning
And you are by my side
What’s gone on between us
We surely now can’t hide
And the fears and the worries
Don’t mean much anymore
A new world came this morning
And of this I’m sure
Was it only yesterday
You brought yourself to me
My whole world was changing
But at first I couldn’t see
And a new sun has risen
To light a brand new day
A new life that is better
A new life starts today
The sunlight thru the window
Lights your sleeping head
Lights your hair on the pillow
The love light in our bed
Stay with me forever
Let forever start today
There’s no time that’s called never
Our new lives start today.
STAY WITH ME THIS MORNING
Waking on a Sunday morning
I feel you lying there
Our clothes are all around us
Daylight lights your hair
Yesterday we were diff’rent
What happened in the night
Yesterday we were friends
Now lovers in the morning light
Stay with me this morning
Walk thru Central Park
Let me show you New York
Stay with me till dark
It just changed in a moment
I’m just now who I was
I don’t know what we’ve found
But I know what we’ve got
I’ve lost that lonely feeling
That has lived inside of me
And you, you gave yourself
And I learned I was free
Lets walk down quiet streets
This sunlit Sunday morn
Let’s do some stupid things
There’s no need to go home
And I’ll show you a sunset
Over Jersey’s huddled shore
Will you stay with me forever
Will you stay with me till dawn.
THE FROST IS ON THE WINDOW
The frost coats the windows
This cold December night
But it’s something I just see
‘cos you’re here its alright
I haven’t know you too long
We were lovers from the start
All I asked was love me too
And I’d give you my heart
But the frost on the windows
Is like ice in my heart
Without you in my life
It’s hard to make a start
New York’s such a cold place
And now I’m all alone
No one to make me smile
No one to keep me warm
I never knew what I did
To make you go away
And tomorrow I don’t know
How I’ll face the day
I’ll go down to the river
In the dark I’ll watch it flow
Carrying all my dreams
Away for evermore
I’ll go down to the Hudson
And watch the dying day
And all I want is loving
But now you’ve gone away
Now you’ve gone away.
STAY WITH ME
When times are hard
And things go wrong
And we cry tears that others see
I won’t give up
I will stay strong
Just as long as you stay with me
When fears stalk me
And sleep won’t come
And hope just crumbles all away
I will keep on
I will be strong
If you’ll stay with me another day
And after the night
Will come the day
And my fears will meet like snow
With the sunshine
I know that I
Will be strong if you don’t go.
