13. HARD TO SAY I'M SORRY : PETER CETERQ {CHICAGO} 1996


(feat. Peter Cetera)

Everybody needs a little time away
I've heard her say
From each other

Even lovers need a holiday oooh
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 thats been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

ooooh bup bup bup bup

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Not for a day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away awaaaaaaaay
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.

When somebody reaches for your heart

Open up and let them through

15. MY EYES ADORED YOU 1975

FRANKIE VALLI



My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far away

Carried your books from school,
Playing make-believe you're married to me:
You were fifth grade, I was sixth
When we came to be
Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for city lights,
Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,
I worked my fingers to the bone,
Made myself a name.
Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,
Still I reminisce about the girI miss
And the love I left behind...

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far

All my life I will remember how warm and tender
We were way back then
Though I'm feeling sad regrets I know I won't ever forget
You, my childhood friend

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so FAR.

16. CRUSH: JENNIFER PAIGE


Writer: McAnally, Shane L / Dillon, Jessie Jo / Clark, Brandy

Ah, crush, ah

I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll pay loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la

Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do
Depends on you

17. I FOUND SOMEONE : CHERI 1987



Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you

And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout the fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now maybe, baby, maybe, baby

[Chorus:]
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bare to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings
If you never really knew

But baby don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout the fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me
But ya still don't believe
That maybe, baby, maybe, baby

[Chorus]

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized, baby

[Chorus]
[repeat]

18. TRUE COLOURS : CINDY LAUPER 1986.


You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You can call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

19. IT'S OVER; ROY ORBISON 1964


{Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 9 in 1964)
Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees}

Your baby doesn't love you anymore

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore, it's over

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you "Thereâ's someone new"
"We're throu-oo-ough, we're through?"

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore

Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you "That's all, that's all"
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

1. UN-BREAK MY HEART:[ 1996] TONY BRAXTON:


Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

CHORUS:
Un-break my heart
Say you love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart, my heart

Take back that sad word "goodbye"
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE


Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my...

Un-break my heart, ooh, baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart, sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on

Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Tell me you love me
Un-break my...
(repeat and fade out)

2. I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ME:[1996] WHITNEY HOUSTON


I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be in love eternally
As far as I can see
You will always be, the one, for me
Oh, yes, you will, I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea

I was lost, now I'm free
I believe in you and me

I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down I will always be around
Just to be right where you are, my love
You know I love you, boy, I will never leave you out

I will always let you in, boy
Oh, baby, to places no one's ever been
Deep inside can't you see, I believe in you and me

Maybe I'm a fool to feel the way I do
But I would be the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles, love is a miracle
And baby, you're a dream come true

1-I was lost, now I'm free
Oh, baby, 'cause I do believe
I do believe in you and me
(rpt 1)

You know that I do
I really do believe in you and me

3. CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TO NIGHT? [ 1994] :ELTON JOHN



[Songwriters: John, Elton; Rice, Tim;]

There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone if they only learn

That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

4. AN INNOCENT MAN: [1983 ] BILLY JOEL



Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I've not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent manOh yes I am
An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am An innocent man

5. I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT:[1975] ROD STEWART



I can tell by your eyes that you've
probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean
nothing to you they're a mirror

I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh oh oh my heart

If I stand alone will the shadows hide the colour of my heart

blue for tears,black for the night,fears the stars
in the sky don't mean nothing to you. they're a mirror

I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh oh oh my heart

6. RIGHT HERE WAITING..[ 1989] RICHARD MARX

[Chart: Billboard UK Top 50/40 Singles Peak Position: 2]



[Songwriters: Marx, Richard;]

Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
But how can we say forever

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it, baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it, baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Waiting for you....

7. IF I WAS A RIVER [ 1997] TINA ARENA


If I was the sun
I would shine my light
To light your world
If I was the rain
I would wash your tears away
I keep your world right
Be your light in the night
If I was the sky
I would rain down love into your life

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

If I was the wind
I would carry you
Above the clouds
And if I was the earth
I would be your solid ground
If I could I'll be
All you ever would need

You're the only world there is for me

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river

You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

8. I AM NOT GIVING UP [ 1996] GLORIA ESTEFAN




To be completely honest
It scares me to imagine
What life would be without you

And for this very reason
I ask you to forgive me
For what I'm putting us through

Although there are so many things
Against us, I've decided
That I'm not giving you
Up, no:

Thinking back, I see what we have
Is something different
I think we've known all along
So how fair would it be
To devide this love's existence
Between what's right and
What's wrong

And you, always wondering if we'll make it
Time will tell you
That I'm not giving you up, no, no...

We'll find a way to be together
However long it takes, wherever
If it means having you for only
A moment
A moment just might be enough
I'm not giving you up, no
No, I'm not giving you up, no

Screaming in the silence the
Promises we've spoken
Come back to haunt me, false
And broken
Quiet desperation to see we're
Lost forever
Searching for water in this dessert

no, I refuse to have to do
Without your kisses
I'm not giving you up
I'm not giving you up, no, no

We'll find a way to be together
However long it takes, wherever
If it means having you for only
A moment
A moment just might be enough
I'm not giving you up, no:
No, I'm not giving you up

9. AIN'T' THAT JUST THE WAY [ 1997] LUTRICIA MCNEAL

He was a very special warm and gentle person
who put music in the world and spoke in rhyme
and it hurts me that i never really knew him
'cause all it would have taken was some time

you know he allways seemed to be there whan i stumbled
and when the mountains got to steep for me to climb
and it tears me up to think i never touched him
'cause all it would have taken was some time

ain't that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down

moving way to fast on much to slow
i'm getting up, getting high, getting down, get no no nowhere
not getting into someone i should know

now he's in an other place and i can't reach him
and i feel as though i'm guilty for a crime
i took all he had to give and gave him nothing
and all it would have taken was some time

ain't that just the way,...

10. GOTHAM CITY: [1997] R. KELLY



I'm lookin' over the skyline of the city
How loud quiet nights in the mist of crime
How next door to happiness lives sorrow
And signals of solution in the sky

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
A Gotham City, oh yeah

How sleepin' awake because of fear
(Oh yeah)
How children are drowning in their tears
How we need a place where we can go
A land where every one will have a hero
(Even me)

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
'Cause we all need it, yeah, can't live without it
A Gotham City, oh yeah

A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
'Cause we all need it, can't live without it
A Gotham City, oh yeah


Yet in the middle of stormy weather
We won't stumble and we won't fall
I know a place that all this shelter

City of justice, city of love, city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Gotham City, oh yeah

We need a city of justice, city of love, city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Gotham City, oh yeah

12. ANGEL: SARAH MCLACHLAN


Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here
