    11. Back To You

      I found the note she left me and once again I just couldn't care
      A black and white movie at the end, where have I seen this all before
      Convinced I really loved her, she believed the act, it was so unfair
      I stumbled through the final scene, she won't believe it anymore

      In my dreams you never left
      But in the morning there I'd be
      Alone with some new true believer lying next to me

      Got to get back to you
      God give me the power
      Back to you
      Each moment's like an hour
      If only I could find the way, I'd find my way back to you

      The saddest sound I ever heard was the door that closed behind you
      Blind to what was in my heart, I must admit I was a fool

      Well, I'm older now and wiser
      The truth is easier to see
      The boy you knew was searching, but now the man knows what he needs

      Got to get back to you
      God give me the power
      Back to you
      Each moment's like an hour
      If only I could find the way, I'd find my way back to you

      Got to get back to you
      God give me the power
      Back to you
      Each moment's like an hour
      If only I could find the way, I'd find my way back to you

      Back to you
      Can't live my life as one
      Back to you
      When all is said and done
      If only I could find the way, I'd find my way back to you

      Back to you
      Back to you

    12. If I Should Lose You

      If I should lose you, it wouldn't be the ending
      I wouldn't lose my way, I'd be okay, life goes on
      There are no guarantees

      If I should lose you, I would embrace my freedom
      Or find somebody else eventually, I'd be strong
      I'd live with tragedy

      But I don't ever wanna face that day
      Never let love slip away
      And I'll do anything to keep us safe
      Keep us together, don't ever want to lose your love

      (I don't wanna lose)
      It's never easy, feels like the world's still falling
      It seems like everything's opposed to love, still we try
      'Cause love is all there is

      But I don't ever wanna face that day
      Never let love slip away
      And I'll do anything to keep us safe
      Keep us together, don't ever want to lose your love

      (Never wanna lose your love)

      [ ? Times are tough ? ], temptation everywhere

      I don't ever wanna face that day
      Never let love slip away
      No one ever made me feel this way
      Love's what I'm after, love's all that matters

      I don't ever wanna face that day
      Never let love slip away
      'Cause without you nothing in the world would be the same
      Ooo, life would go on, feeling all wrong, if I should ever lose your love

    13. (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher

      Your love keeps lifting me higher
      Than I've ever been lifted before
      So keep it up, quench my desire
      And I'll be at your side forever more

      I said your love keeps on lifting, keeps on lifting me higher
      (Your love is lifting me higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted, higher, higher)
      I know your love
      (Your love is lifting me higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted before)

      Now once I was downhearted
      Disappointment was my only friend
      Then you came, soon he departed
      You know I never saw his face again

      I said your love keeps on lifting, higher
      (Your love is lifting me higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted, higher, higher)
      I know your love
      (Your love is lifting me higher and higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted before)

      I'm so glad that I finally found you
      You're that one in a million, girl
      When you wrap your loving arms around me
      I can stand and face the world, yeah

      I said your love keeps on lifting, higher
      (Your love is lifting me higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted, higher, higher)
      I said your love
      (Your love is lifting me higher and higher)
      (Than I've ever been lifted)

    ( repeat )
