    1. If You Leave Me Now ( New Version )

      ( Don't go, please don't go ... )
      If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
      Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
      And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
      Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go

      A love like ours is love that's hard to find
      How could we let it slip away?

      We've come to far to leave it all behind
      How could we end it all this way?
      When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

      A love like ours is love that's hard to find
      How could we let it slip away?

      We've come to far to leave it all behind
      How could we end it all this way?
      When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

      If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
      Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go

    2. Next Time I Fall

      How it leads me back again
      To heartache
      I'll never understand
      Darling, I put my heart upon a shelf
      'Till the moment was right, and I told myself

      The next time I fall in love
      I'll know better what to do
      The next time I fall in love
      Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
      The next time I fall in love
      The next time I fall in love
      It will be with you

      Now as I look into your eyes
      Well I wonder if it's wise
      To hold you like I've wanted to before
      Tonight I was thinking that you might
      Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine

      The next time I fall in love
      I'll know better what to do
      The next time I fall in love
      Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
      The next time I fall in love
      The next time I fall in love
      It will be with you

      Next time I'm gonna follow through
      And if it drives me crazy
      I will know better why
      The next time I try

      The next time I fall in love
      I'll know better what to do
      The next time I fall in love
      Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
      The next time I fall in love
      The next time I fall in love
      It will be with you

    3. Do You Love Me That Much

      Sometimes at night I lay awake,
      Just to watch you sleep, hear each breath you take.
      When the morning lights your face,
      I just wanna hold you, and forget the day.
      I live and breathe your every touch
      Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much ?

      When you look at me across the crowded room,
      Suddenly I wanna be alone with you.
      I hang on every word that leaves your lips,
      Anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss.
      Enough of you is not enough.
      Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much ?

      For so long, I've been trying to believe,
      That someday, you'll fall as deep as me.
      But it's just not there, love isn't always fair.

      Would you want the best for me,
      And I hope I find the kind of love you can't feel for me.
      Could you find it in your heart,
      To end this thing right now before it's gone too far
      Let me go and give me up
      Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much ?
      Do you love me that much ?

    4. Feels Like Heaven

      All through my wandering years
      I always said I was biding my time
      All alone in the dark I'd face my fears
      That no other heart would come to mine

      At first when you found me
      It took me a while 'till I realized
      Why I felt weak when you were around me
      Why I couldn't speak when I looked in your eyes

      All this time I've been searching
      Until you, I was lost in my dreams
      And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
      Watching over me

      Oh wherever you are
      Invisible hands reach over the miles
      For every wish you make to the stars
      There's one silent kiss I send to the sky

      All this time I've been searching
      Until you, I was lost in my dreams
      And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
      Watching over me

      Everything's changed
      Since you came my way
      'Cause you put the color
      In the world of grey
      And you make the love
      That carries me away

      All this time I've been searching
      Until you, I was lost in my dreams
      And I never knew that love could feel like heaven
      Watching over me
      Feels like heaven
      Watching over me

    5. You're The Inspiration ( New Version )

      You know our love was meant to be
      The kind of love that lasts forever
      And I need you here with me
      From tonight until the end of time

      You should know, everywhere I go
      You're always on my mind, in my heart
      In my soul

      You're the meaning in my life
      You're the inspiration
      You bring feeling to my life
      You're the inspiration
      Wanna have you near me
      I wanna have you hear me sayin'
      No one needs you more than I need you

      And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
      We're so in love when we're together
      And I know that I need you here with me
      From tonight until the end of time

      You should know, everywhere I go
      Always on my mind, in my heart
      In my soul

      You're the meaning in my life
      You're the inspiration
      You bring feeling to my life
      You're the inspiration
      Wanna have you near me
      I wanna have you hear me sayin'
      No one needs you more than I need you

      You're the meaning in my life
      You're the inspiration
      You bring feeling to my life
      You're the inspiration
      Wanna have you near me
      I wanna have you hear me sayin'
      No one needs you more than I need you

    6. I Wasn't The One ( Who Said Goodbye )

      Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
      Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
      There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
      Memories never lie
      Still we talk about the way that it was
      And I think we both know the feeling hasn't died

      I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
      I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
      And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
      Da Da

      Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
      You say we've both changed and your always on my mind
      I can tell you that it's over and done but I would only lose
      Being close to the want that I want
      So go on and ask me if I'm still in love with you

      I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
      I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
      And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
      Da Da

      There was no need for you to ask - please don't ask
      You oughta know by now, ooo babe, I want you back

      I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
      I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night

      I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
      I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night

    7. She Doesn't Need Me Anymore

      Don't know when she started changing
      Don't know how it's come to this
      Seems like yesterday she was in my arms, begging for a kiss
      Now the winds of change are blowin'
      And they're taking her away
      I will do my best not to hold her back,
      But there's nothing more to say

      She doesn't need me
      She's gonna leave me
      She needs some time on her own
      I should have told her
      Now I can't hold her
      Wish it could be like before
      But she doesn't need me anymore

      It's so hard to watch belive me
      It's so hard to be alone
      I just hope and pary that there'll come a day,
      She'll find the road back home

      She doesn't need me
      She's gonna leave me
      She needs some time on her own
      I should have told her
      Now I can't hold her
      Wish it could be like before
      But she doesn't need me anymore

      If I pretend to be happy, I'd only be fooling myself
      'Cause here in my heart I know that I'm dying
      And it's tearing me apart, baby I'm crying

      I should have told her
      Now I can't hold her
      Wish it could be like before
      But she doesn't need me now

      Wish it could be like before
      But she doesn't need me anymore

    8. Baby, What A Big Surprise ( New Version )

      Right before my very eyes
      I thought that you were only fakin' it
      And like before my heart was takin' it

      Baby what a big surprise
      Right before my very eyes

      Yesterday it seemed to me
      My life was nothing more than wasted time
      But here today you've softly changed my mind

      Baby what a big surprise
      Right before my very eyes
      Baby what a big surprise

      Just to be alone
      Was a little more than I could take
      Then you came to stay
      Hold me in the morning
      Love me in the afternoon
      Help me find my way

      Baby what a big surprise
      Right before my very eyes
      Baby what a big surprise

      Baby what a big surprise
      Right before my very eyes
      Baby what a big surprise

    9. ( I Wanna Take ) Forever Tonight

      Feel your breath on my shoulder
      And I know we couldn't get any closer
      I don't wanna act tough, I just wanna fall in love
      As we move into the night I get crazy
      Thinking how it's gonna be with you baby
      I don't wanna play rough I've been loving you enough
      Oh, baby
    chorus:

    I wanna take forever tonight
    Wanna stay in this moment forever
    I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
    I wanna take forever tonight
    Fill you up, fill you up with love
    When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
    I wanna take forever tonight
      Touch my lips, I'm on fire
      You're the only one I'll ever desire
      Turn the lights down low, make the world go slow
      When I'm holding you tonight it's so easy
      Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
      And to rush would be a crime
      I just wanna spend some time with you baby
    chorus
      And when I'm here beside you
      I wanna see what drives you out of your mind
      I never wanna leave I only wanna be with you
      'Cause I love how you feel your love is so real

      I wanna take forever tonight
      Wanna stay in this moment forever
      I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got

      I wanna take forever tonight
      Wanna stay in this moment forever
      I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
      'Cause I can't live without you

    10. After All ( Love Theme from "Chances Are" )

      Well, here we are again;
      I guess it must be fate.
      We've tried it on our own,
      But deep inside we've known
      We'd be back to set things straight.

      I still remember when
      Your kiss was so brand new.
      Every memory repeats,
      Every step I take retreats,
      Every journey always brings me back to you.
    chorus:

    After All the stops and starts,
    We keep coming back to these two hearts,
    Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.
    After All that we've been through,
    It all comes down to me and you.
    I guess it's meant to be,
    Forever you and me, After All.
      When love is truly right
      ( This time it's truly right. )
      It lives from year to year.
      It changes as it goes,
      Oh, and on the way it grows,
      But it never disappears,
    chorus
      Always just beyond my touch,
      You know I needed you so much.
      After All, what else is livin' for?
    chorus-repeat

    11. S.O.S.

      Where are those happy days
      They seem so hard to find
      I tried to reach for you
      But you have closed your mind
      Whatever happened to our love
      I wish I understood
      It used to be so nice
      Used to be so good

      So when you're near me
      Darling can't you hear me
      S.O.S.
      The love you gave me
      Nothing else can save me
      S.O.S.

      When you're gone
      How can I even try to go on
      When you're gone
      Though I try how can I carry on
      You seem so far away - though you are standing near
      You made me feel alive but something died I fear
      I really tried to make it out
      I wish I understood
      What happened to our love
      It used to be so good
