1. HAVE YOU BEEN IN LOVE
In the morning light
Half awake and half asleep
Have you ever laid there thinking
Was it all a dream?
But you reach out and she's there
Every moment, everywhere
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever felt
How far a heart can fall
Have you ever stayed up waiting
For a telephone call
Just to hear her say hello
'Cause you miss each other so
Have you ever been in love?
Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What it's all about
And when she's far away
Have you ever felt the need to stray
And tried and then discovered
It just doesn't pay
'Cause with her, you can be true
And with her, you can be you
Have you ever been in love?
Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What it's all about
And when the night comes down
Can you call your house a home
Do you dream you're still together
And wake up alone
Have you ever been in love
The way that I'm in love
Have you ever been in love?
VIDEO
2. 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?
VIDEO
3. FAITHFULLY
Some say its just the nature of the beast
When you love somebody so passionately
Time has a way of stealing
That raging fire feeling
Leaving the ashes laying at your feet
Those fools with little faith will never know
Those higher places two hearts can go
Where time is standing still
And love will burn until
The heaven and the earth have come and gone
CHORUS
This fire for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as river's searching for an endless sea
I will always love you, faithfully
Tonight we'll raise a glass to lovers
Across the ages
We'll hold each other and toast to the day
When history's said and done
And we'll still stand as one
Some things were never meant to fade away
CHORUS
This fire for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as river's searching for an endless sea
I will always love you, faithfully

4. 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 blowing
And they've taken 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 she could be like before
She doesn't need me anymore.
It's so hard to watch her leave me
It's so hard to be alone
I just hope and pray 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 she could be like before
She doesn't need me anymore
If I pretend to be happy I'll only be fooling myself
'cause here in my heart I know that I'm dying
And it's tearing me apart
Baby I promise...
I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish she could be like before
She doesn't need me anymore
Wish she could be like before
But She doesn't need me anymore
(She doesn't need me now)...

5. BIG MISTAKE
Keeps them all waiting
They're standing in line
He never has to worry about being alone
He's taking his own sweet time
The man's mighty hot
Believe it or not
Every woman's after what the big boy's got
They know it's all a lie but they're taking their shot
He is such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know
It's just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Just a big mistake
Sooner or later they're gonna find out
He never cares about the hearts he's breaking tonight
He's letting it all hang out
The man's mighty tough
Better leave before it starts to get too rough
He such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know
It's a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Such a big mistake
Just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Such a big mistake
You might think you oughta call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight
You might think you oughta call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight
In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you know you're wrong
Such a big mistake
There's no one to cry to
In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you're so alone
Such a big mistake
When you're so alone
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning when you know you're wrong
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning you'll be so alone, so alone

6. AND I THINK OF YOU
Where did you go - why did you run
What did you need from me you felt we were missing
Now you never write - and you never call
What did you want - I couldn’t give
You should’ve told me baby I would have listened
Why did you leave - when we had it all
And I think of you
Yes I think of you
(chorus)
Everywhere I go - anytime of the day
Every move I make - every word that I say
If I let myself I get carried away
When I think of you
I still think of you
Time on my hands doesn’t seem right
I’ll never get used to this single life
And now I wonder what you’re doing tonight
(bridge)
We got away from it all
In a house upon the hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh oh oh oh oh
VIDEO
7. ONLY LOVE KNOWS WHY
One more sad tomorrow
And I’m not very good at hiding my sorrow
It’s not the same without you
So alone and so afraid
I thought we had it made
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
I thought you’d never leave
Now I know this time you’re gone forever
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you all apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why
One more night without you
I’m just trying to pretend that you’re coming back again
You know I never meant to doubt you, oh no
We were young and we were free
Now I can’t believe this has happened to me
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you all apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why
Gonna be a long hard road without you
And there’s one thing you should know
Tell me who will I turn to
When I get in trouble
I really don’t want you to go, no
Tell me who can I turn to
When I get in trouble
Baby please don’t leave me
Can’t you see you must believe me
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you down, the minute that you fall apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love can tear you down
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love will make you cry
VIDEO
9. FEELS LIKE HEAVEN
All through my wandering years
I always said I was biding my time
But 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 ’til 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 go
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 has changed
Since you came my way
’cause you put the color
In a world of grey
And you make the love
That carries me away
VIDEO
10. 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
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
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
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever
And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for 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 .....

11. GLORY OF LOVE
Tonight it’s very clear
As we’re both lying here
There’s so many things I want to say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don’t wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
You’ll keep me standing tall
You’ll help me through it all
I’m always strong when you’re beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’ve been dreaming of
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of
We’re gonna live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We’ll live forever
Knowing together that we
Did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love

12. HARD TO SAY I'M SORRY
Everybody needs a little time away
I've heard her say from each other
Even lovers need a holiday, ooh
Far away from each other
Hold me now, it's hard for me to say
I'm sorry, I just want you to stay
And after all that you've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise you, baby
And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me, I can't let go
Ooh, bup bup, bup bup
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day, from your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
Hold me now, it's hard for me to say
I'm sorry, I just want you to know
Hold me now, I really want to tell you
I'm sorry, I could never let you go
And after all that we've been through
I will make it up to you, I promise you
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me, I can't let go,
I can't let go.....

13. IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW
(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

14. AFTER ALL
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
VIDEO
15. JUST LIKE LOVE
See the color of roses
Sail across America
I couldn't wait to find you
I'm looking for a miracle
And somewhere out of the blue
In the heart of getting by
CHORUS:
It only takes a second to learn
It only takes a second to hurt
And it's just like love to be the hardest thing
It's just like love to be everything (Repeat)
An illusion of laughter
Lost in a desert sky
That's how I feel without you
I can't take another night
Somewhere out of the blue
From my heart and in your eyes
CHORUS
Oh I can feel it all
Right or wrong I'm here
Here for you
CHORUS (Repeat to fade)
VIDEO
16. YOU'RE THE INSPIRATION
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
