    1. Feels Like Forever

      I saw you
      That was all I had to see
      Why don't you
      Had to have you next to me
      From that moment
      I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
      And there's a place inside my heart
      Nobody's touched before
      And when I found you
      I found all that I'd been searching for
      You turned my world around

      All I know
      Is that it feels like forever
      All I know
      Yes I love the way it feels
      All I see
      Is how good we are together
      And I never wanna see it slip away
      I'll never let you go
      Is all I know

      Hold me
      Love is you trust in me
      Is telling me
      Let's put our hearts and hands and faith
      Time will tell us
      If what we've got was worth the wait
      And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
      And I don't need nobody else
      'Cause now you're here with me
      You've turned my world around

      All I know
      That it feels like forever
      All I know
      Is I love the way it feels
      All I see
      Is how good we are together
      And I never want to see it slip away
      I'll never let you go
      Is all I know

      I might have never met you
      At another time or place
      Never I never could forget you
      I could never walk away
      That's all I know
      'Cause there's a place inside my heart
      Nobody's touched before
      And when I found you
      I found all that I'd been searching for
      You've turned my world around

      All I know
      Is it feels like forever
      All I know
      Is I love the way it feels
      All I see
      is how good we are together
      And I never want to see it slip away
      I'll never let you go

      All I know
      Is it feels like forever
      All I know
      Is I love the way it feels
      All I see
      Is how good we are together
      And I never want to see it slip away
      I'll never let you go
      It's all I know
      Is it feels like forever
      All I know
      Is I love the way it feels
      All I see
      Is how good we are together

    2. I Can Hear The River

      It's so cold on this balancing beam
      I lose my breath each time I scream
      All the time that it takes on this cliff
      I simply wish that you were here
      I must be in love with you
      Be in love with you
      Be in love with you
      I must be in love with you
      I think you're the reason
      I can see the water
      I don't feel so lonely
      That I hear the river
      On a night like tonight in the park
      I sit alone out in the dark
      On the days I'm waiting for you
      It seems that
      Water must break through
      I must be in love with you
      Yes be in love with you
      I can hear the river
      I can see the water
      I must be in love with you
      When I'm near the river
      I see the bridges
      I can feel the morning
      I can almost touch you
      When I'm near the river
      Be in love with you
      I can hear the river
      Can see the water
      I don't feel so lonely
      When I'm near the river
      I hear the river tide
      Now that I feel the morning
      I don't feel so lonely
      When I'm near the river
      Hear the tide

    3. Now That The Magic Has Gone

      In my life
      I've seen sorrow
      Heartache and pain
      I've been burned by the sunshine
      And drowned in pouring rain
      Had too many lovers
      And enough love
      I've been trialed and convicted
      For things I'm not guilty of
      I was locked in a prison
      Till you came and set me free
      So how can you say
      You're no good for me

      Now that the magic has gone
      You just wanna walk away
      Nothing left to say, anyway
      Now that the magic has gone
      There's no sense in holding on
      Baby now, now that the magic is gone

      You know love can be tender
      Love can be cruel
      It can smile like an angel
      While it treats you just like a fool
      it captures and haunts you
      Until you give in
      And it stats the dice against you
      in a game you never can win
      Just when I was thinking
      Maybe luck was here with me
      You're telling me it's over
      Say it's time for breaking free

      Now that the magic has gone
      You just wanna walk away
      Nothing left to say
      Anyway baby
      Now that magic has gone
      There's no sense in holding on
      Baby now
      Now that the magic has gone

      I won't try to hold you down
      My mind tells me let go
      But my heart keeps asking how
      There's no prices for the loser
      Only the winner takes the purse
      Some say that love is a blessing
      But to me it's just a curse

      Now that the magic has gone
      You just wanna walk away
      Nothing left to say
      Ain't it babe
      Now that the magic has gone
      There's no sense in holding on
      Baby, now that the magic has gone
      Now that the magic has gone
      You just wanna walk away
      Nothing left to say

    4. Can't Find My Way Home

      Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
      Somebody must change.
      You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
      Somebody holds the key.
    Chorus:

    But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
    And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.
      Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
      Somebody must change.
      You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
      Somebody holds the key.
    Chorus
      But I can't find my way home.
      But I can't find my way home.
      But I can't find my way home.
      But I can't find my way home.
      Still I can't find my way home,
      And I ain't done nothing wrong,
      But I can't find my way home.

    5. Night Calls

      The night gang started working
      With a mile of southern road
      As I watched
      I got to thinking
      You ain't never coming home
      I looked out of nowhere
      There was nobody at all
      To get me help
      To get through to you

      I'm here making night calls
      Night calls
      Making night calls
      Night calls
      Making night calls
      I gave

      I tried too hard to reach you
      But you must be moving fast
      All my hopes about the future
      Will just live on
      Into the past
      You know that it ain't easy
      And the twilight starts to fade
      Shouldn't you
      The chill of the morning
      Thinking of the plans we made

    6. Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

      I can't light no more of your darkness
      All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
      I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
      Frozen here on the ladder of my life

      Too late to save myself from falling
      I took a chance and changed your way of life
      But you misread my meaning when I met you
      Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

      Don't let the sun go down on me
      Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
      I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
      But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

      I can't find the right romantic line
      But see me once and see the way I feel
      Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
      But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

    7. Love Is Alive

      Well, I think it's time to get ready
      To realize just what I have found
      I've been only half of what I am
      It's all clear to me now

      My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
      My love is alive, My love is alive

      There's somethin' inside that's makin' me crazy
      I'll try to keep it together
      'Cause what I say may not happen the same way
      Not to be for ever and ever

      My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
      My love is alive, My love is alive

      My love is alive
      My love is alive

      Is there a movie inside my mind
      Reflectin' the love that you shine on me
      Hold on now, to that feelin'
      Let it flow, let it run, yeah

      My heart is on fire, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
      My love is alive, My love is alive

      My love is alive
      My love is alive

    8. Five Women

      It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
      It took 5 months, a plenty good wasted time
      But it just took 5 minutes when I saw your face again
      2 fall in love all over, I guess with U I'll never win

      March was a cold one in more ways than one
      Went down 2 the nightclub lookin' 4 the sun
      Lookin' 4 a light that could brighten up a day
      That's been darker than a hole since U went away

      April usually brings showers
      This time it was a hurtin' kind
      This woman said she wanted my baby
      I told her I'd have 2 be deaf, dumb, and blind
      2 fall in love with someone that I barely knew
      The baby would never really have a father
      Cuz I still, cuz I still, cuz I still, still, still, huh
      Be stuck on U

      It took 5 women 2 getcha off of my mind
      Get off my mind, baby
      Fallin' in love all over... U I'll never win

      May was her name, she was jumpin'
      Jumpin' from plane 2 plane
      Actress or model or somethin'
      Can't even remember her first name

      June brought an Easter bunny
      Needless 2 say, hmph, that girl was late
      Told a made-up story 2 a busy-body of our only date
      What a sketch!

      July was a heartbreak, extraordinary
      Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary
      It felt so much, so much like yours
      But it only made me, made me want U more
      She's gone, she's gone but U're still here
      I want U very..., huh, it's U I fear

      But it took 5 women 2 get U off my mind
      It took 5 months, 5 months, a plenty good wasted time
      But it just took 5 minutes and I saw your face again
      I fell in love all over with U, I guess I'll never win
      (I'll never win)

    9. Please No More

      We start a fight, who knows what for
      Who knows who's winning, or who's keeping score
      You say it's all right, as you slam the door
      All I can say is, "Please no more, please no more."

      I've had enough after how I swore
      I'd never give you up
      Loving you was easy, but one thing's for sure
      It ain't me, it ain't me, you're trying to please no more.

      Passions will burn, burn endlessly
      All that's left behind are these broken dreams
      While I still got some pieces laid out on the floor
      I'm asking you baby, "Please no more, please no more."

      I've had enough, after how I swore
      I'd never give you up
      Loving you was easy, but one thing's for sure
      It ain't me, it ain't me, you're trying to please no more.

    10. Out Of The Rain

      Out of the rain, under the shelter i've been so long where the sun don't shine standing at the cross-roads, could have went ither way but now i've found you and the storm is behind
      Out of the rain, out of the rain
      Over the wall, i'm out in the open back on the right track, i'm feeling no pain you took a sparrow and let it fly with the eagles i can see a long ways, i feel love again
      Out of the rain, out of the rain
      There was a time i was taking no prisoners standing with a cold heart, standing alone it took your sweet love to pull me out of the canyon i believe i can make it now, i feel like i belong
      Out of the rain, out of the rain out of the rain, out of the rain

    11. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

      Here I stand head in hand
      Turn my face to the wall
      If she's gone I can't go on
      Feelin' two-foot small

      Everywhere people stare
      Each and every day
      I can see them laugh at me
      And I hear them say

      Hey you've got to hide your love away
      Hey you've got to hide your love away

      How could I even try
      I can never win
      Hearing them, seeing them
      In the state I'm in

      How could she say to me
      Love will find a way
      Gather round all you clowns
      Let me hear you say

      Hey you've got to hide your love away
      Hey you've got to hide your love away

    12. When A Woman Cries

      When a woman cries
      When a woman cries
      She can wash your world away
      When stars fill her eyes
      When stars fill her eyes
      You'll never know just what to say
      Don't say a word
      Don't say anything
      She don't need your truth or lies
      Just hold her close and love her
      When the woman cries
      When a woman cries
      When a woman cries
      There is no sadder song
      So you apologize
      You apologize
      Even if you don't know that you've done wrong
      But if you really want to make her happy
      To stop her sobbing and her sound
      Just hold her close and love
      When the woman cries
      Just don't waste your time thinking
      Of the right thing to say
      Just put your arms around her
      Till the clouds are all away
      When a woman cries
      When a woman cries
      She can tear your world apart
      When stars fill her eyes
      When stars fill her eyes
      It can break a poor man's soul
      And if you find that you are crying too
      Don't let it come as no surprise
      Just hold her close and love her
      When your woman cries
      When the woman cries
      When the woman cries
      She can tear your world apart
      When stars fill her eyes
      When stars fill her eyes
      It can break a poor man's heart
      When that woman
      When that woman cries
      That girl can wash your world away
