SUMMER SONG:
Lets paint the town, take in some sounds and sing out loud
It’s all about, the here and now, and what we’ve found
The places changed, along with the names, and while we’re the same
Seen many days, where we can say, we’re glad we stayed
So raise a glass today
Let’s wash the pain away
And feel that sun light on your face
A daydream comes alive
Each day when you and I
Feel that summer song coming to life
Forget it all, lets have a ball, we’re far from fall
We’re they ten feet tall, or really small, I can’t recall
Soar to new heights, and take in the sights, it just feels right
And then at night, those city lights, will paint the sky
So raise a glass today
Let’s wash the pain away
And feel that sun light on your face
A daydream comes alive
Each day when you and I
Feel that summer song coming to life
A memory made, will never fade, it's not up for trade
So who needs the shade, it’s time to play, cherish the day
Live life with ease, and aim to please, and soon you’ll be
The one at peace, with that summer breeze, lying next to me
So raise a glass today
Let’s wash the pain away
And feel that sun light on your face
A daydream comes alive
Each day when you and I
Feel that summer song coming to life
Coming to life...

REWIND:
It's all the time, it's all the same
But does it even matter
It's just how we play the game
Living wild or living free
Just as long as I'm living
Either way, it's fine by me
You don't need a reason, just a little time to spend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again
Just sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again
Don't need a place, don't need a time
To be wrapped up in the moment
Just an urge to feel fine
Living out your every dream
But never stop dreamingL
ife's exactly what it seems
You don't need a reason, just a little time to spend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again
Just sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again
Any reason, anywhere
For anyone willing
To let the music take you there
Living by your own beliefs
With the ones who you believe in
It's something we should all achieve
You don't need a reason, just a little time to spend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again
Just sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend
We can rewind to then
And unwind again

A MATTER OF TIME:
From the moment we both locked eyes
There was no turning back from our disguise
From the moment I was to weak get it right
Was the moment I realized
Surrender to the notions
Give into the emotions...
If I could freeze a moment in time
And make it last forever
Then it would a matter of time
in this happy ever after
From the moment we spoke our minds
There was no turning back, no more goodbyes
From the moment I was too weak to wonder why
Was the moment I realized
Surrender to the notions
Give into the emotions...
If I could freeze a moment in time
And make it last forever
Then it would a matter of time
in this happy ever after
From the moment we made that night
There was no turning back, as others might
From the moment I was too weak for alibis
Was the moment I realized
Surrender to the notions
Give into the emotions...
If I could freeze a moment in time
And make it last forever
Then it would a matter of time
in this happy ever after
If I could freeze a moment in time
And make it last forever
Then it would a matter of time
in this happy ever after

WAITING:
If you are down if you are out just count me in
I'll give my everything to be the one your with
I've spent all this time just waiting for you
If you are lonely dial me up and I'll listen in
I'll make the difference in your life I’ll understand
I've spent all this time just waiting for you
If you need a helping hand
I can be a stronger man
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for
And if you are all alone
I can be the one to hold
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for,
I've been waiting for you...for you
If you are ever feeling blue like no ones there
I’ll be your everything I’ll be the one who cares
I've spent all this time just waiting for you
When you need a moment just to hold it I’ll stand by
If you need a reason don’t you worry about asking why
I've spent all this time just waiting for you
If you need a helping hand
I can be a stronger man
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for
And if you are all alone
I can be the one to hold
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for, I've been waiting for,
I've been waiting for you...for you.

MAKIN' ROUNDS:
I've been down in Las Vegas
Caught the fever, man it's contagious
The highs and lows, the allure to go
What happens there stays there, you already know
I've been up and down the coast line
And hell yeah, man It was a good time
From Florida to Maine in a couple days
A pit stop in Carolina just to lessen the haze
I've been making rounds
And right now I'm out about the town
Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud
I've been making rounds
And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now
Just get on up and party down
I've been to backyard blowouts
A Bonfire that could take the whole town out
The band takes the stage, 'til the morning breaks
And then you do it all again, cause it's another day
Well I've been stranded on an island
Drink in hand, the days fly by when
You can soak it all in, before the day begins
And then you spend your time wishin' it would never end
I've been making rounds
And right now I'm out about the town
Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud
I've been making rounds
And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now
Just get on up and party down
I've been up to see the sunrise
And closed out more places then I realize
Would I do it all again, you bet 100 percent
Unless there's yet another way to say it's time well spent
Well I've been making up for lost time
And each day's yet another friend of mine
And no one can see where the road may lead
I'll keep the roller coaster going if you're here with me
I've been making rounds
And right now I'm out about the town
Sayin' all you need is to be here and to be loud
I've been making rounds
And don't you try to lounge around this crowd now
Just get on up and party down
Get on up and party down
Get on up and party down

ONCE AGAIN:
I need a ticket to another place
Something other then the same old space
Some time to waste
An escape to something better
Who needs a reason when the timing's right
Maybe a couple weeks or just a single night
The future's bright
In a place with something better
And we lay in the sand
Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands
With some friends or your first romance
Once can be once again
Without escaping from the daily grind
Can work its damage over lengths of time
If I can find
An escape to something better
When it all builds up feels like you've lost the game
But you can play again some other day
Let it wash away
In a place with something better
And we lay in the sand
Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands
With some friends or your first romance
Once can be once again
It doesn't matter where you set things straight
Just a release from yet another day
Let us clear the haze
An escape to something better
Just try to take a moment for your own
And drift away from what you've come to know
You're not alone
In a place with something better
And we lay in the sand
Hours pass with our heads resting in our hands
With some friends or your first romance
Once can be once again

BEYOND THE GREY:
It's when the clock strikes, and the timings right
To make another perfect night
If it's just a twist of fate, then it's all to waste
No, don't let it end that way
Although the clouds appear on your darkest days
There's sunshine beyond the grey
And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste
There's sunshine beyond the grey
If there's room to need beyond a jealous greed
It could make you not believe
But look past the fall, and you may recall
There's a simple reason for it all
Although the clouds appear on your darkest days
There's sunshine beyond the grey
And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste
There's sunshine beyond the grey
Although the clouds appear on your darkest days
There's sunshine beyond the grey
And while some rain may fall, not all's to waste
There's sunshine beyond the grey

SOMETIME, SOMEWAY:
If you're feeling down at the end of the day
Have you lost you place, when you skipped that page
If the timings off, yet the reaction's the same
It's when all seems lost that we find our way...
We all head down the same highway
Reading different lines while the page’s the same
All of one mind, but yet so many names
Sometime someway...
Many people dwell on what could ruin their day
No time to breathe, not knowing what to say
If we took a chance to simply do what's right
If we'd all let go, we could be one tonight
We all head down the same highway
Reading different lines while the page’s the same
All of one mind, but yet so many names
Sometime...
If you're looking for just a simple escape
It’s when you close your eyes and simply drift away
There’s no time to fight, and nothing’s out of place
It's when all seems lost that we find our way...
We all head down the same highway
Reading different lines while the page’s the same
All of one mind, but yet so many names
Sometime...
We all head down the same highway
Reading different lines while the page’s the same
All of one mind, but yet so many names
Sometime someway...

LITERAL FICTION:
Is life so cut and dry
That we never wonder why
Laced in lonely alibis
The highest bidder wins the prize
When you look beyond the names
And you drift into a place
Where life’s a warm embrace
A finish with some time to waste
If we woke up all at once
And we saw the damage done
Can we fix what we’ve become
Or maybe I’m the only one?
Maybe we can get things right
Let the feelings pass us by
What does it take to see the light
When it’s not pointed in your eyes
This is my fictional time
Content from within, having nothing to hide
The sun shines as the days pass us by
And if forever’s a dream, I want you there by my side
This is my fictional time
Content from within, having nothing to hide
The sun shines as the days pass us by
And If forever’s a dream, I want you there by my side

LET'S GO:
No need to wonder why I came here
Maybe just to interfere, but I
Saw you live by an endless trail of why's
Now, I hope you don't mind me barging in but
You need to get in gear my friend because T
That midnight train will pass you by
Long before the closing number or curtain call
Long before the new beginning was the beginning of it all
So let's go, let's get up out of here
Make our future crystal clear because life's to short to sit around
Let's go, let's get this one thing straight
Yes we could sit here and wait but what we're searching for may never be found
So let’s go before we change our minds
And let’s make the most of tonight
It's not as rough as it may seem
Move along beyond your dreams as you
Take a minute to take a look around
Now, I hope it's ok to bring this up but
Take the mundane and interrupt and just
Set a course for broke and leave this town
Long before the closing number or curtain call
Long before the new beginning was the beginning of it all
So let's go, let's get up out of here
Make our future crystal clear because life's to short to sit around
Let's go, let's get this one thing straight
Yes we could sit here and wait but what we're searching for may never be found
So let’s go before we change our minds
And let’s make the most of the ride
No need to wonder why I came here
Another reason to interfere
No one needs to live by an endless trial of why's
With the gears in shift, when the day begins
The one you wish would never end
That’s when that midnight train is right on time
Long before the closing number or curtain call
Long before the new beginning was the beginning of it all
So let's go, let's get up out of here
Make our future crystal clear because life's to short to sit around
Let's go, let's get this one thing straight
Yes we could sit here and wait but what we're searching for may never be found
So let’s go before we change our minds
And let’s make the most of our lives

SOMETHING LIKE THAT:
Since looking forward and looking back looks the same
Like mental photographs we all took back in the day
All different sceneries, ages and different times
The future's as bright as then, and I'm glad my past is mine
It's the something that takes me back to
The memories I've yet to make
Something like this, something like that
Something like something or other, or something in fact
Some things stay the same, and others need to change
Did something go wrong, when something ain't right
Something like something for nothing, or something to try
Sometime, someplace, somehow, somewhere, someway
Something like that...
Our lives are telling, with so many different sides
And like time has told us, just forget about the time
The same lessons we have learned, stop us from learning more
Forget about the ‘what happened when,’ and embrace the ‘what's in store’
It's the something that takes me back to
The memories I've yet to make
Something like this, something like that
Something like something or other, or something in fact
Some things stay the same, and others need to change
Did something go wrong, when something ain't right
Something like something for nothing, or something to try
Sometime, someplace, somehow, somewhere, someway
Something like that...

WISH YOU WELL:
Another minute passed, another day goes by
Seems the face of change is just a test of life
It shouldn't hold you back, or let it seal your fate
Beyond the darkest hour, is a brighter day
So just forgive and simply turn the page (don’t turn around now)
What knocked us down before just makes us stronger today
We'll rise above and find our way
Through the looking glass, beyond the hopes and dreams
What can blind you can heal you when you set it free
Some have come and gone, and some have yet to arrive
Until we meet again, isn't always goodbye
So just forgive, and maybe shed some light (just shining on now)
We can live for the moments with our heads held high
The feeling could define our lives
Well I wish you well where ever you may go
When that path may lead you down an open road
Well I wish you well around every turn
But the truth be told I guess you live and you learn
Well I wish you well where ever you may go
When that path may lead you down an open road
Well I wish you well around every turn
But the truth be told I guess you live and you learn
(But the truth be told, time marches on) I guess you live and you learn...

IT'S ALRIGHT:
Thank god it's Friday Night
Turn the Radio up cause my favorite song's playing
The week just seemed to fly
It almost passed me by but you don't hear me complainin'
Round up the weekend crowd
Cause we're all headed out for some mindless entertainment
Some time to water down
Good friends getting loud when the music starts to sink in
I love it when a song
Invites the room along it just grabs from the onset
You start to hum the words
And by the second verse everyone’s gone and lost it
We're living in the round
Cause nothing beats a crowd singing along with the record
And no one cares about
How karaoke you sound when you're all singin' together
There's no better time then tonight
There's not a loner in a crowd this size
Let it ride, baby it's alright
No excuse will fly, not tonight
So leave your ego in the lot outside
Get amplified, baby it's alright
So when the moment comes
Take advantage of every word you're singing
The music never ends
Another song begins as the other one’s ending
There's no better time then tonight
There's not a loner in a crowd this size
Let it ride, baby it's alright
No excuse will fly, not tonight
So leave your ego in the lot outside
Get amplified, baby it's alright
Let me tell you one time, baby it’s alright
Thank god it's Friday Night
Turn the Radio up cause my favorite song's playing

SWEPT AWAY:
Here we are, me and you, I’d be lost without it
I love you baby and I’m never gonna give you up
I submit, you got me hooked, couldn’t live without you
Cause life is better when you share it with the one you love
Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say?
From the moment that I met you, I knew my search was through
Cause baby you swept me away
Anytime, anyplace, I would wait forever
The way I feel about you doesn't happen every day
You’ve got the eyes, and the lips, to put a spell upon me
You’re all I need to know that life will never be the same
Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say?
From the moment that I met you, I knew my search was through
Cause baby you swept me away
Maybe I could write about it
Or sing all night about it
But rest assured I’ll find a way to tell the world about it
So here we are, hand in hand, it doesn’t get much better
I can’t imagine life without you here by my side
I’m taken back, every time, that you’re here around me
So just remember that my love for you will never die
Oh yeah...when we're together I’m speechless, what can I say?
From the moment that I met you, I knew my search was through
Cause baby you swept me away
Oh yeah…cause baby you swept me away

YOU MIGHT THINK:
You might think I’m crazy to hang around with you
Or maybe you think I’m lucky to have something to do
But I think that you’re wild inside me is some child
You might think I’m foolish or maybe it’s untrue
You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you
You might think it’s hysterical but I know when you’re weak
You think you’re in the movies and everything’s so deep
But I think that you’re wild, When you flash that fragile smile
You might think it’s foolish what ya put me through
You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you
And it was hard so hard to take
There’s no escape without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going
You might think I’m delirious the way I run you down
But somewhere sometime when you’re curious Ill be back around
Oh I think that you’re wild and so uniquely styled
You might think its foolish this chancy rendezvous
You might think I’m crazy but all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

PROMISES:
I know you're thinking what did he do
But I kept my word and wrote a song for you
That's right, here it is, enjoy this little tune
Now you can tell everyone this song’s for you
The words are vague but the meanings true
Should've known I would, consider this coming through
The only thing that's ever been written for me
Were bills to pay, directions to read
But now you have a whole song written for you
And I have one less thing to do
I'm keeping promises
Making good on what I said
I'm keeping promises to you
That's right I'm keeping promises
A man of my word and now out of debt
I'm keeping promises to you
I know you're thinking what did he do
But I kept my word and wrote a song for you
That's right, here it is, enjoy this little tune
Now you can tell everyone this song’s for you
The words are vague but the meanings true

HERE WE ARE:
When I look into your eyes, I know things are gonna be OK
You know a smile like that can wash all the rain away
You're my other half, my better half, my missing piece
And on a stressful day a little sigh of relief
I’m still thankful that my life turned out this way
Here we are and here we'll be
Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze
Let's drift away
Just you and me and the memories that we've made
One Summer Day
We can travel to New England where it's been known to snow in May
Or to the sunniest beach in California on Christmas Day
We can try our luck in Vegas, where the odds are none
But with you here right by my side, it's like I've already won
I’m here waiting, so just name the time and place
Here we are and here we'll be
Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze
Let's drift away
Just you and me and the memories that we've made
One Summer Day
It took me time to find you, but I'm glad that it happened that way
If I did it all again, you can bet it'd play out the same
As the days pass us by, how our love has grown
And the future seems as bright as our past has shown
I’ll regret it never cause forever's been worth the wait
Here we are and here we'll be
Just the sun and sand and the feel of a cooling breeze
Let's drift away
Just you and me and the memories that we've made

TIME MARCHES ON:
I've taken chances and I've crossed the line
Been through the ringer and continued to fight
I've been down and out
I've been kicked around
But yet through all of it I've stood my ground
The truth will set things right
And the fallen will rise
No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes
It will come in time
I've been the loner and I've been the lead
Been the one who's helping and the one in need
I've had my doubts
Of what life's about
But in the end I've come to figure out
The truth will set things right
And the fallen will rise
No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes
It will come in time
Keep on fighting, stand united
Time keeps marching on
Once ignited, it’ll keep on rising
Time keeps marching
I've kicked a habit and it kicked me back
I've seen the truth in those who never have
I've been off the tracks
And now looking back
I'm stronger now then if I never had
The truth will set things right
And the fallen will rise
No more good-byes, just look deep into my eyes
It will come in time
In time
In time...

ONCE UPON A TIME:
I'm speechless tonight
For once in my life
Everything seems right
Words'll never say
What you mean to me
No matter how I try
Cause once upon a time
I saw the world through those big blue eyes
Your smile brought me to life
The love I feel inside for my
Once upon a time
Nothing I could write
Could ever quite describe
What I feel inside
And nothing I could sing
Would ever truly bring
This love alive
Cause once upon a time
I saw the world through those big blue eyes
Your smile brought me to life
The love I feel inside for my
Once upon a time
You're everything
And more to me
And you'll always be
My guiding light
The star so bright
The whole world can see
That once upon a time
I saw the world through those big blue eyes
Your smile brought me to life
The love I feel inside for my once upon a time
Something so simple and yet so right
Cause my angel has arrived
The love I feel inside for my
Once upon a time
I'm speechless tonight
For once in my life
Everything seems right

LONELY ROAD:
Sometimes beginnings
Never seem to end
Yet the finish line draws near
The path we're taking
Can circle many times
The endless trial we fear
On the crowded streets you roam
Not every turn will lead you home
One in a million but not alone
Headed down that lonely road
Some tend to wander
When they've lost their way
Another shawdow in the night
Different directions
All seem out of place
Until you find your guiding light
On the crowded streets you roam
Not every turn will lead you home
One in a million but not alone
Headed down that lonely
There's one way in, and no way out
Sometimes the fear can bring you down
But you're not alone
I'm by your side, day and night
One more that we can both survive
Down this lonely road
It takes believing
That you can learn to fly
Even when you've lost your wings
Sometimes beginnings
Never need to end
Once you've embraced the feeling
On the crowded streets you roam
Not every turn will lead you home
One in a million but not alone
Headed down that lonely road
On the crowded streets you roam
Not every turn will lead you home
One in a million but not alone
Headed down that lonely road

LIFE HAPPENS:
It's working to the bone five days a week
Never getting a break, or some needed relief
But money talks, and so I'll be back in the morning
It's spending both days off doing household chores
Waiting in endless lines at the grocery store
Then Monday comes, and you're back doing circles again
It's the same old life and a different day
And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because
Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it
Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week
And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think
Life happens weather or not we planned for it
So try to smile when
Life happens again
It's the car breaking down on the side of the road
So that money you saved is now the money you owe
You realized, you probably should've kept that AAA
It's the house on the beach for the summer time
A brand new mazarati down on rodeo drive
It could happen, maybe if I won the lottery
It's the same old life and a different day
And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because
Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it
Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week
And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think
Life happens weather or not we planned for it
So try to smile when
Life happens again
I’ve been told to get my life together
Because I don’t know life
But I’ve been dealt this life before
And I’m doin’ just fine…Alright!
It's an outdoor concert in the pouring rain
It's your team getting routed in a rivalry game
And so it goes, there's not much we can do about it
Cause it's the little things in life, that never seem to go right
Like when the dog mistakes the kitchen for his spot outside
I get it now, I can't let this life get the best of me
It's the same old life and a different day
And when life hits the fan, it's probably time for a break because
Life happens, and we're put on this earth to deal with it
Friday Night's the relief from taking life all week
And your friend's so full of life, it's simply hard to believe just think
Life happens weather or not we planned for it
So try to smile when
Life happens again

BRAND NEW DAY:
Everyday seems the same
From the first alarm ring
Until ya crawl back into bed
As the grind takes effect
You can safely place a bet
that the complaining never ends
You need to let it go and just let it lie
It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright
You think the day'll never end
The rats are racing once again
And then you're sunk into the fold
Watch the minutes slowly pass
Each hour's feelin' like the last
It's time to put this thing on hold
You need to let it go and just let it lie
It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright
Why don't you take it in stride
One step at a time
In the end it's worth the wait
So simply open your eyes to a brand new day
Just take a chance on life
Before it passes you by
Right now is never too late
So simply open your eyes to a brand new day
You treat each moment in your life
As one you're fighting to survive
But could you try another pace
You wish the week would finally end
But soon another one begins
As you just wish your life away
You need to let it go and just let it lie
It's now or never, cause forever's gonna be alright
Why don't you take it in stride
One step at a time
In the end it's worth the wait
So simply open your eyes to a brand new day
Just take a chance on life
Before it passes you by
Right now is never too late
So simply open your eyes to a brand new day

BELIEVE:
Every move that I make
Is the one that could make a change
Or do nothing at all
Every chance is a risk
That I'm willing to make
Even though I may fall
And now, somehow
I'm alone once again, but I'm standing my ground
Head on, forgone
I'm one in a million, but a million strong and...
For those who may have fallen
For those who've lost their way
For those who feel forgotten
For those strong enough to believe (who believe)
Every urge is curve
That can you lead to an answer
Or to another turn
Every line is a guide
On the path I'm taken
Which could be better or worse
And now, somehow
I'm the one called upon for each and every bout
And what's best of what's left
Above and beyond those who've failed the test and...
For those who may have fallen
For those who've lost their way
For those who feel forgotten
For those strong enough to believe (who believe)
Every risk is a gift
That could write a perfect ending
Or leave you searching for words
And every one has a way
That they would've done it better
Or so they say
And now, somehow
I'm the one who remains in the closing round and
Through it all, I've fought
To be the last man standing for the final call and...
For those who may have fallen
For those who've lost their way
For those who feel forgotten
For those strong enough to believe (who believe)

REMEMBER WHEN:
Those thousand words' this picture holds
Could never quite explain
All the fun we had that day
The score never really mattered
And we may have lost the game
But we were winners all the same
Goin' down that road again
With those I never will forget
Greeting me again with I remember when
Think back how we used to play
As our children do today
Makin' memories that they'll remember when...
How about that time we spent that
Summer down the shore
We probably made our parent's poor
But that endless sun, and summer nights
Ocean breeze and boardwalk lights
Kept us comin' back for more
Goin' down that road again
With those I never would forget
Greeting me again with I remember when
Think back how we used to play
As our children do today
Makin' memories that they'll remember when...
It seems like yesterday
Yet still so far away
And nothing much has changed
We're the same ol' kids we were
Albeit a little grey,
And we're the one's who're sayin' "when I was your age..."
From little league to little ones
An ocean breeze to a diaper run
And there is nothing I would change
Those thousand words' a picture holds
Are the memories that they'll unfold
From the ones we took today
Goin' down that road again
With those I never would forget
Greeting me again with I remember when
Think back how we used to play
As our children do today
Makin' memories that they'll remember when

YER SO BAD:
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can decide which is worse
But not me, baby
I've got you to save me
Aw, yer so bad
Best thing I've ever had
In a world gone mad
Yer so bad
My sisters ex-husband cant get no lovin'
Walks around dog-faced and hurt
Now he's got nothin, head in the oven
I cant decide which is worse
But not me, baby
I've got you to save me
Aw, yer so bad
Best thing I've ever had
In a worl d gone mad
Yer so bad
Oh, but not me, baby
I've got you to save me
Aw, yer so bad
Best thing I've ever had
In a world gone mad
Yer so bad

MY EVERYTHING:
You’re are I ever need
You make the good times better
Just say those little words
And I'll be yours forever
Each night I close my eyes
And I just dream about you
You are the love, sent from above
My wish come true
The one that’s meant to be
Forever by my side, you're my everything
A reason to believe
I wish this time was endless
Where do I begin
When you leave me breathless
Each night I close my eyes
And I just dream about you
You are the love, sent from above
My wish come true
The one that’s meant to be
Forever by my side, you're my everything
Each and every night
When I see those eyes
I fall deeper in love
It's like the first time that we touched
And I'm still hypnotized
It warms me deep within
When I hold you closer
Just say those little words
And I'll be yours forever

MOVIN' ON:
Late at night, he's wandering the streets that he calls home
He's got things to do, but nowhere left to go
He was always one to do what he could in terms of help
But he couldn't even find that for himself
He's lived here for so long, he's just another friendly face
Yet no one 'round here even knew his name
Maybe it was fate, when we met that summer day
Cause he was more then just a drunk begging for change
He said, he was waiting for an answer
To the question he'd been asking for so long
He let go, and he found what he was looking for
Deep inside, waiting all along
And now he's movin' on
She was barely seventeen, and a new mother to be
Was she ready for responsibility?
How was she supposed to raise this child all by herself?
And who could she turn to when she needed help?
Those who've turned their back, and those who simple walked away
Supposedly friends for life, weren't there this day
She let worrying consumer her 'til the day her child arrived
Then it all made sense within' her baby's eyes
She said, she was waiting for an answer
To the question she'd been asking for so long
She let go, and she found what she was looking for
Deep inside, waiting all along
And now she's movin' on
Partied hard in college and tried to keep that frame of mind
10 years later and still wasted all the time
His friend's have all moved on 'cept for the bottle by his side
Tries to relive moments that have long since died
His job is just a way to find a means to fuel the fire
As his body aches to stop this way of live
He knew the time to walk away, even that late in the game
To reclaim the life he almost left astray
He said, he was waiting for an answer
To the question he'd been asking for so long
He let go, and he found what he was looking for
Deep inside, waiting all along
And now he's movin' on
They said, they were waiting for an answer
To the question they’ve been asking for so long
They let go, and they found what they were looking for
Deep inside, waiting all along
And now they're movin' on

SUNDAY MORNING:
The night was never ending
Did I ever get to bed?
The pounding on the bar is now
the pounding in my head (oh yeah)
I know that something ain't right
You can keep your Sunday morning
Just give me Saturday night
I felt like I was 21
And acted 2 or 3
It never hurt this bad
The years are catching up to me (oh yeah)
I know that something ain't right
You can keep your Sunday morning
Just give me Saturday night
Take me back
Before it all began I wished
the night would never end
Now an end would seem forgiving
But that's probably not the plan (oh yeah)
I know that something ain't right
You can keep your Sunday morning
Just give me Saturday night
Now I could curse my age or
even blame the lack of sleep
But I can't imagine speaking
if it hurts to much to think (oh yeah)
I know that something ain't right
You can keep your Sunday morning
Just give me Saturday night
Take me home
