TRY TO RECALL

Try to recall
The thrill of it all
When love was young
Ad life was mellow
Try to recall
How we had it all
And life was fun
The sun was yellow

Try to recall
The feel of it all
The thrill of learning
Some new pleasure
Try to recall
How passions call
Was greater than
Any treasure

Try to recall
Why we lost it all
How love just slipped
Thru open fingers
Try to recall
When we had it all
Can’t you see how
My love still lingers.

IS THIS THE WAY IT ENDS?

Is this the way it ends?
Not as lovers just as friends
Is this the time of tears
A lifetime of lonely fears
Is this the way
Is this the way it ends

Is this the day it dies
No more alibis
Is this the final scene
Children singing in a broken dream
Is this the way
Is this the way it ends

Is this the end of time
The end of yours and mine
Is this the final day
The day you packed and went away
Is this the day
Is this the day it ends

Is this normal broken night
The end of light once so bright
Is this how it all ends
Not as lovers, not as friends
Is this the day
Is this the day it ends.

WE WENT TO LOOK FOR ANSWERS

We went to look for answers
Travelled all over this country of ours
Me at the wheel your head on my shoulder
Slowly passing the afternoon hours

We saw a country unfolding
Its dreams and its past ‘neath the wheels
Talking ‘bout love and life unfolding
Trying to know how good it feels

But out in the desert some way from El Paso
Something changed in the heat of the night
I don’t know how or why you left me
Left me alone in dawns early light

And now I’m travelling the road homeward
And staring the facts in their face
Looking and searching for you with ceasing
Seeing and hating each lonely place.

CATCH THE RAINBOW

Catch the rainbow
Hold the scene
Keep the faith
Live the dream
Skate the wind
Fly the cloud
Catch the sunshine
Laugh out loud

Plough the ocean
Race the sea
Grasp the tide
Stay with me
Chase the moonlight
Grasp the light
Ride the stars
Do what’s right
Do what’s right.

YOUR LOVE JUST LEFT

Your love just left
She’s walking out the door
Another night of tears
She couldn’t take no more
And so you are alone
All thru the lonely night
Too stubborn and too stupid
To admit she was right

Golden days are gone
And lost in the dawn
You see no more sun rise
When the one you love has gone
The tears bite your eyes
You try not to cry
When you look in the mirror
You cannot meet your eye

Too late now the tears
Too late now the cause
Too late now the pleas
Now your on your own
Try to go back to her
Tell her you were wrong
Tell her you love her
The madness is all gone.

ALL MY TOMORROW’S TODAY

Now that you’ve gone
I can’t go on
Keeping the same old ways
All night long
It all goes wrong
All my tomorrow’s today

Here comes the night
And with the light
I knew you wouldn’t stay
I lose the fight
Nothing is right
All my tomorrow’s today

Now to the dreams
Now to the screams
I call for you to stay
Ah, but it seems
I’m lost in dreams
All my tomorrow’s today.

NOW THAT YOU’VE GONE

When the night turns to day
And you’ve gone away
The days seem so long
Now that you’ve gone
Now that you’ve gone
And I’m all alone
I must face my fears
I must hide my tears
Now that you’ve gone
Now that you’ve gone

And all the time I see your face
Smiling there before me
And all night long I hear your voice
Calling, calling for me

When the night turns to day
I’d just like to say
That life will go on
Now that you’ve gone
Now that you’ve gone
I must see what’s true
That I can’t love you
Now that you’ve gone.

HOW MANY WAYS CAN I SAY THAT I LOVE YOU

How many ways can I say that I love you
How many ways can I say that I care
How many ways can I say that I need you
How could I cope if you were not there

How many times do I call you
How many times do you come
How many times do I hold you
How can I believe that it’s done

How often have I loved you
How often have I cried
How often have you told me
How often have you lied

How can I count the heartbreaks
How can I last the night
How can I live without you
How could you snuff out the light.

WHEN ALL THE LOVE

When all the love
Is dead and laid to rest
Yours is the love
I’ll remember best
Yours is the face
That lit my darkest day
Mine are the tears
That never went away

Down through the years
Your beauty never died
Mine were the tears
Never ever dried
Mine is the loss
Emptiness inside
Yours was the love
The love that never died.

REMEMBER MY NAME

When you are alone
And feeling high
When you are alone
And want to cry
When you go
Alone to bed
When you have doubts
That fill your head
When you break down
And feel the shame
Think of me and
Remember my name

When times are rough
And you’ve no friends
When life is tough
And pain won’t end
When nights are long
And dreams cause pain
When you’re not strong
And feel the strain
When all around shout out your shame
Think of me and remember my name

When you’re awake
And sleep won’t come
When bitter tears
Just run and run
When summer skies
All fill with clouds
When fools will point
And laugh out loud
Think of our love
It wasn’t a game
Think of me and
Remember my name.

HAND IN HAND TO THE END OF TIME

I have waited oh so long for you
And now my dreams are coming true
Here you are by my side tonight
And I know it just feels so right
Tomorrow will bring another day
And all our cares will drift away
We two hand in hand in the dawn
And never again to be alone

We’ll dance thru our lives you and I
Our spirits will learn how to fly
In dreams I waited just for this
And in my dreams I taste your kiss
You have set my poor heart free
I know that you love only me
Tonight tonight you’ll feel it too
I have waited all my life for you

Hand in hand to the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
Others may just stand and stare
But we’re in love and we don’t care

Hand in hand to the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
Others may just stand and stare
But we’re in love and we don’t care.

IN THE COLD LIGHT OF MORNING

In the cold light of morning
Tired and still yawning
I wake and rub the sleep out of my eyes
And I see you sleeping
And I start my weeping
I don’t know why you tell me lies

As the light streaks across you
I remember what I must do
I’ve gotta talk and get it straight
And so I creep across the floor
Get right up to the bedroom door
I gotta tell you before it’s too late

But you hear me moving
You wake to the morning
And smile at me in your special way
Why did I ever cheat you
You thought I never would do
I took the chance and threw it all away

I’ll see you later today
And tell you that I can’t stay
I love someone more than my life
I’ve got a family at home
I can’t leave them all alone
I don’t love you
I only love my wife.

SOMEBODY LIKE ME

You always seemed so out of place
But I always loved your face
Never once you called my name
But I love you just the same
And now you walk and talk to me
You tell me you are really free
But you have always wanted to be
With somebody like me

I always felt you were the best
When I compared you to the rest
A diamond in amongst the coal
The best of them all
And now you walk and talk to me
You tell me you are really free
But you have always wanted to be
With somebody like me

Hold me close to you always
I’m besotted by your ways
Hold me til days are done
Call me your only one

And now you walk and talk to me
You tell me you are really free
But you have always wanted to be
With somebody like me.

WHERE WE CAN FIND LOVE

Let us find a better way
Pack the car and drive away
Go and find another day
Where we can find love

Come tomorrow another day
Park the car and drive away
Go and find a better way
So we can find love

And so it seems we never stay
Always seek a better way
Take the car and leave today
And we may find love

Always looking the other way
Love comes but doesn’t stay
So we want to get away
Whilst we search for love

Another town, another day
We must work, we mustn’t play
So we can make a getaway
And we might yet find love

And so it goes from day to day
Work all hours and take our pay
All the time push love away
So we won’t find love.

THERE’S SOMETHING

There’s something in the air tonight
There’s something on the breeze
See the way the starlight
Makes shadows in the trees
When you are here beside me
Everything’s alright
Let’s go to the forest lawn
And dance beneath the moonlight

There’s something in the air today
There’s something in the sky
See the way the water
Glistens and ripples by
When you are here beside me
Everything is alright
Let’s paddle in the ocean
And dance beneath the moonlight

There’s something in the air I breathe
There’s something all around
I hear my world is changing
But I don’t hear a sound
When you are here beside me
Everything’s alright
Let’s spend the night together
And dance beneath the moonlight.

FAREWELL MY LOVELY

Farewell my lovely
Farewell my heart
Farewell my hopes
Now we’re apart
Farewell the dreams
Farewell the plans
Farewell the scenes
That we have planned

Farewell the nights
Farewell the days
Farewell the sights
Now you’re away
Farewell the life
Farewell the plans
Farewell the hopes
Slipped thru my hands

Farewell for now
Farewell for then
Farewell for good
I was more than a friend
Farewell my love
Farewell my life
Farewell for ever
Farewell my wife.

ONE NIGHT I HAD A DREAM OF YOU

One night I had a dream of you
Dreamt that it all came true
And I knew just what to do
And then I woke up crying

Last night you came to me again
Brought me joy, brought me pain
Brought with you the clouds and rain
And the I woke up crying

At night you always come to me
Come to me, loved and free
And I know what I would be
And then I wake up crying

At night you always come to me
Come to me, loved and free
And I know what I would do
And then I wake up crying

Tonight I’ll be with you once more
The love I loved who I adore
The one who always gives some more
And I know I’ll wake up crying.

THE ROAD TO YOUR PLACE

The road to your place
Runs through my days
I need to see your face
I need your byways
The road to my lost love
Ran by your door
I couldn’t stay upon it
I couldn’t take no more

The road to my heart break
Is narrow and its long
Why do I walk upon it
What did I do so wrong
The road to perdition
Is sign posted well
Why do I stay upon it
Whe I know I am in hell

The road to salvation
Is wide and it is straight
If I try to walk on it
Will I be too late
The road to my ending
Is easy for me to see
It’s wide and unbending
Please show it now to me.

WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS

Walking in the footsteps
Of those that went before
Hearing all their echoes
Through the long closed door
Seeing in the sunset
Tears glitter in their eyes
And hearing in the news reports
The old repeated lies

Walking down the old roads
I feel them all around
Gazing at the new world
That they had never found
Hiding in the shadows
Seeing through dead eyes
If you listen carefully
You can hear their cries

Standing on the battlefields
Of wasted broken youth
If you listen carefully
You will hear the truth
Sweet young souls died here
Never asking why
We owe it to their memories
To nail the old cruel lies.

A STAR

A star flew over the house tonight
Shooting star, burning bright
What does it mean, I want to know
Should I stay or should I go

A black cat crossed my path today
I don’t know if I should go or stay
But every time I see a sign
I want to know if you are still mine

I tripped and broke a mirror but then
What does it mean, why and when
For all the signs that I can see
I don’t know if you still love me

So once again I search the skies
Search your face and look for lies
And every time I have a doubt
A little bit of trust leaks out.

I LOVED YOU IN THE MORNING

I loved you in the morning
When love was shining new
Sunlight on your hair
Had eyes for only you
And every waking hour
I saw our love would grow
I never could believe
That you would ever go
But now your pillows cold
I cannot touch your hair
I think that I hear your voice
I see you everywhere
But you’ve gone
You are gone

I loved you in the evening
Starlight in your eyes
When I gave my love to you
You gave me only lies
And now I see I’ve lost you
I won’t see you again
Salt tears fill my eyes
My heart fills with pain
How could I’ve been so blind
Can lovers never see
Each and every day
I want you here with me
But you’ve gone
You are gone.

COME TO ME AND CRY

When you think that the world’s
Had enough of you
When you can’t see the stars
When you think that the world
Can’t see the truth
When you can’t get too far
Just remember that I love you
I’ll love you til I die
When the heartbreak is over
Come to me ad cry

When they all call your name
And mock all you’ve achieved
When good men cross to pass you by
On the far side of the street
When all around is breaking down
And you think your heart will die
Just remember that I love you
I’ll love you til I die

When the heartbreak is over
Come to me and cry.

ALL MY LIFE

All my life I’ve been waiting for
Waiting for someone like you
All last night I was waiting for someone
Waiting for my dreams to come true
And you came to me
Like the moon in the night
And you are to me
My love and my life

All my life I’ve been waiting for something
Something that I couldn’t see
All night long always waiting
But nothing happened to me
And you came to me
Like the moon in the night
And you are to me
My love and my life

All my life I’ve been hoping that someday
Someone like you’d come along
All my life I’ve been hoping that someway
It would stop always going wrong
And you came to me
Like the moon in the night
And you are to me
My love and my life

All these years have been wasted
Wasted without you
You’re the life that I’ve tasted
Won’t you show me what to do
And you came to me
Like the moon in the night
And you are to me
My love and my life.

SHELTER FROM THE COLD

I walk thru life in a dream
But inside it’s all so wrong
I’m not the guy that I seem
I’m so weak when you are strong
And when you ask me what I think
I can’t sleep the whole night long
It’s you who’s strong and me that’s weak
And every-things gone wrong

Gimme shelter from the cold tonight
Shelter from the cold
Help me make it all alright
And give me shelter from the cold

I walk thru life like I’m a ghost
Can you tell me what am I
I can’t see straight for all the tears
And sometimes I want to die
And you are like a rock to me
And give me shelter from the storm
And be with me thru all our days
And give me shelter from the storm.

YOU ARE TO ME

In the days when I was down and out
When I couldn’t take no more
I knew I would hear you say
Just do it, just once more
When all the world laughed at me
And children saw my shame
It was always you I turned to
And you loved me just the same

You are to me
A bright and shining star
Did you know
How beautiful you are?

How many nights I’ve called your name
And cried the whole night long
And you held me and kept me safe
You taught me to be strong
And now the tides of time have changed
And we walk the bright broad way
With you forever at my side
You will always hear me say.

ONE MORE TIME

One more time
Just one more time
Just one more time
Say you are mine
Just one more time

One more day
Just one more day
Just one more day
Say that you’ll stay
Just one more day

One last time
Just one last time
Just one last time
Give me a sign
Just one last time

One more night
Just one more night
Just one more night
To make it alright
Just one more night

Just once more
Please just once more
Just once more
Don’t walk out the door
Please stay.

MY LOVER

The morning light creeps thru the window
Lights your sleeping head upon the pillow
Your eyelids flutter in the faint glow

I watch you now my lover
Your arms across the covers
Wake and watch the dawning
See the beauty of the morning
The beauty of this moment
The wonder of this day

The cities nose is stilled this morning
Too early for the people’s calling
I kiss your sleeping head as you are stirring

I watch you now my lover
Your arms across the covers
Wake and watch the dawning
See the beauty of the morning
The beauty of this moment
The wonder of this day

Your smile lights the room still brighter
We watch as dawn makes the world grow brighter
I hold you like there is no tomorrow

I watch you now my lover
Your arms across the covers
Wake and watch the dawning
See the beauty of the morning
The beauty of this moment
The wonder of this day.

BUT IT DIDN’T LAST

You’ll not forget when the sun shone down
Upon our days of heaven
You’ll remember all the days of light
That just would not come again

But it didn’t last
And she went away
To the arms of another
And the sunny days
They slipped away
To another lover

You’ll remember when the dawn was bright
In the mornings of our glory
Can you forget the feel of nights
The start of our life story

But it didn’t last
And she went away
To the arms of another
And the sunny days
They slipped away
To another lover

And now you’ve gone those days of ours
Lie scattered like autumn leaves
And you’ve left behind the golden hours
And all I have left are tears

But it didn’t last
And she went away
To the arms of another
And the sunny days
They slipped away
To another lover.

HOLD ME

Hold me
Hold me won’t you hold me
Hold me
Home me oh so tight
Hold me
Honey won’t you hold me
Hold me
Hold me tonight

Love me
Honey won’t you love me
Love me
Love me tonight
Love me
Honey won’t you love me
Love me
Love me tonight

Stay with me
Honey won’t you stay with me
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me
Honey won’t you stay with me
Stay with me
Stay all night.

AND NEVER CALL ME BY MY NAME

The days they pass like scudding clouds
Like breaths of wind thru silent crowds
And every day like clouds and dreams
Thoughts pass thru my days in endless streams

And never call me by my name
We have other names we know
And like the children we once were
Our hopes and dreams may grow

The nights they pass like ghosts of days
Locked together in love’s many ways
Our lives they pass as lifetimes do
Yours like me and mine like you

And never call me by my name
We have other names we know
And like the children we once were
Our hopes and dreams may grow

Through depths of days we’ll hear our call
Love can’t be touched but love is all
And when the dark nights feel so long
We will know that our love stays strong.
