2.      CUANDO ABRAS LOS OJOS


When you open your eyes
I'll be far away
don't keep the letter I'm leaving over the bureau (chest)
I don't want it to be a harmful witness
of this cruel failure, in spite of our love
not even the kiss I'm leaving as good-bye
will open those eyes that I worship with passion.
You'll still be asleep, while I leave
when you open your eyes and wish to embrace me
you'll find the emptiness which has taken my place
but in this letter I surrender my heart to you.

My love, resigning to you is resigning to life
and, do you know why?
because I leave my life behind with you
Yes, I know you'll cry
and that hurts me, but doesn't stop me
because I do this for you, and tomorrow,
when you give life to another love
the child that we longed for so much,
and I couldn't give you
for the reason we both know,
and if with your tears you curse me,
you will bless me in the future
and you'll remember this night
this night of love and tears
Farewell my love
and remember me, forever

Not even the kiss I'm leaving as good-bye
will open those eyes that I worship with passion.
You'll still be asleep, while I leave
when you open your eyes and wish to embrace me
you'll find the emptiness which has taken my place
but in this letter I surrender my heart to you.

4.         HE

He appeared when I didn't expect him
Everything changed with his sweet glance
What I've felt when I saw him
I can't express with words
Later the time marked our lives
And now someone else shares his days
And even though I can't live without him
I don't want to love in secret

Chorus:
Give me patience to wait!
Give me hopes to fight!
God, give me strength and some sign
He's the one I was dreaming of so much
He is the wind beneath my wings
There's nothing else I miss more
than his kisses and his glance

He's the angel I dreamed of so much
It's the light that always accompanies me
There's nothing else I miss more
than his kisses and his glance

He appeared and I got lost in his arms
I put my heart to his hands
What I've felt when I saw him
Is something I can't explain
Later the time marked our lives
And now someone else shares his days
And even though I can't live without him
I don't want to love in secret

Chorus...

5.    THE SAME HABITS

i took you out of the hell you were walking in
i gave you everything you brag about today

there it goes for you, too, kid, there

i took you out of the hell you were walking in
i gave you everything you brag about today

i praised your name to the clouds
i hope that in time you will change
but you still have the same old habits

i found you when you were fucked
and your life was ending.
but the day you came into my life,
i gave you everything you lacked.
with love i healed your wounds,
but today you pay me back with lawsuits and courts.

i took you out of the hell you were walking in.
i gave you everything you brag about today.
you forgot that you weren't worth anything
when i lifted you up to the clouds.
today you have the world in your hands,
and like your mother you ask me for money.
don't forget that although you walk so high,
someday you will be looking up from the ground.

i took you out of the hell you were walking in.
i gave you everything you brag about today.
you forgot that you weren't worth anything
when i lifted you up to the clouds.
today you have the world in your hands,
and like your mother you ask me for money.
don't forget that although you walk so high,
someday you will be looking up from the ground.

i took you out of the hell you were walking in.
i gave you everything you brag about today

6.     AQUI ESTOY YO          

I'm here to make you laugh again
Trust me, leave your fears behind and you'll see
Here I am with a kiss burning my lips
It's for you; it can change your life, let me in.
I ask to the sun that a blue star
Travels to you and its light makes you fall in love

Here I am, opening up my heart to you.
Filling your lack of love, closing up the path to the pain
Do not fear, I will take care of you, just accept me

I am here to give you my strength and my support
and help you paint butterflies in the dark.
They will be real
I want to be the one who awakens in you a new feeling
and teaches you to believe and surrender again without counting
the hugs you give me
I pray to God for a touch of inspiration
to say what you hope to hear from me

Here I am, opening up my heart to you
Filling your lack of love, closing the path to the pain
Do not fear I will take care of you, just accept me

Give me your wings, I will heal them
and in my hand I invite you to fly

Here I am
(here I am)
Opening up my heart to you.
(Oh, my heart)
Filling your lack of love
(your lack of love)
Closing the path to the pain
(to the pain)
Do not fear I will take care of you
(I will take care of you)
I will always love you.

7.          CHANGES  

Today I'm going to change,
check my baggage well
and take out my feelings
and all my resentments.
Clean out the closet,
wipe out grudges from the past
and anxieties that were in my mind
So as not to suffer
for such petty little things
Stop being a girl to become a woman

Today I'm going to change
Bring my courage to light
and devote myself to what I believe
and always be me without fear.
Dance and sing by habit
and see clarity instead of darkness,
uproot my secrets.
To stop living
unless it's to live the life
that screams inside of me,
my freedom

Today I'm going to change!
Come out from inside of me
and not be a lonely heart.
Let go of and stop failures
and freedom from what oppresses my mind
Fly free with all of my defects
to be able to reclaim my rights
and not blame life for my paths and decisions.
Today I want and have to change,
divide time and add to the wind
all those things I one day dreamed of conquering
Because I am a woman like any other,
With doubts and solutions
With defects and virtues
With love and heartbreak
Smooth like a gull but
feline like a lioness
Calm and peacemaker
but at the same time
irreverant and revolutionary
Happy and unhappy
Realist and dreamer
Submissive by condition,
more independent by opinion
Because I am a woman
with all the incoherencies
that are born in me.
Strong weaker sex!

Today I'm going to change,
check my baggage well
and take out my feelings
and all my resentments.
Clean out the closet,
Wipe out grudges from the past
and anxieties that were in my mind
So as not to suffer
for such petty little things
Stop being a girl to become a woman...........

10.       TICK TOCK


Tick tick tock, tick tock
that's the sound of my bomb
Tick tock, tick tick tock,
don't stop

You have been chained to me
For all eternity

I can't wait until I hold you in my arms again
Lock you in my heart, throw away the key and then
Feed the fire, burning and consuming me
Blood is racing through my veins, set me free

I'm such a fool
To think that I can live without you
You drive me crazy!

[chorus:]
Don't wait, just go
Don't hesitate
This bomb keeps tick, tick, ticking away
The race is on
I am exploding
(Put out this fire...!)

Surrender now
Don't make me wait
This moment's tick, tick, ticking away
You're chained to me
For all eternity

Tick tick tock, tick tock
that's the sound of my bomb
Tick tock, tick, tick tock,
don't stop

Am I a sinner or a saint just for wanting you?
You're like poison in my veins but no one else will do
Tainted love, like a viper I will bide my time
By the shadows, in the yard, I will make you mine!

Never a deal when you slipped through my hands
I control the very soul of you
You drive me crazy!

[chorus]

Surrender now
Don't make me wait
This moment's tick, tick, ticking away
And now you'll see
Truth will set you free

My blood for you
Your blood for me
This loving being
Is hard to me
I know your heart
Is lonely too

Oooooh
I'm such a fool...
You drive me crazy

[chorus]

1.          MOMENTS LIKE THIS


While the dying world redefines
The reasons we strive to exist
We feign control though we?re bound to learn
The meaning of moments like this

'Cause in the peaceful hour, the quiet spell
Seduced by the promise of bliss
We soon forget that nothing's happened yet
We're living for moments like this

So hold me, whisper gently
This is what we live for, how we learn who we are
It defines us, ever reminding us
That life never is more precious than this

From the dim light in the greyness
The aim of the soul tends to miss
When the clouds catch fire and the ocean's pitch
We're made for the moments like this

So hold me, whisper gently
That there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near, to remind me, stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up

It's in our power to face the storm with all its fury and madness
The flash of thunder roll behind us with a longing and sadness
The clouds will break

Hold me, whisper gently
This is what we live for, how we learn how we are
It defines us, ever reminding us
That life never is more precious than this

So hold me, whisper gently
That there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near, to remind me, stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up

2.      I'LL FLY AWAY


Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, O glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye
I'll fly away

3.     MY LOVE FOLLOWS YOU WHERE YOU GO

More wishes than a thousand hearts can count for you
More smiles than a merry-go-round
The sweetest ending to a bed-time story told
My love follows you where you go

More laughter than a kindergarten out to play
One Sunday morning song that says it all
More summer than a California beach can hold
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

Take forgiveness - take a prayer - take the deepest breath
Take the answers in your heart
When you wake up and the world is cruel and cold

My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

More freedom than a field of flowers in the wind
More beauty than a morning after rain
Up the steepest hill - a dark and crooked road
My love follows you where you go

Future like a promise - and you're a city of Gold
Stubborn in your bones and Jesus in your soul
Seeing you stand there - staring at the unknown
I won't pretend that it's not killing me
Watching you walk away slow

4.     I KNOW WHO HOLDS TOMORROW

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live for day to day
I don't borrow from the sunshine
For it's skies may turn to gray

I don't worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For He knows what lies ahead

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

Ev'ry step is getting brighter

As the golden stairs I climb
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter
Ev'ry cloud is silver lined

There the sun is always shining
There no tear will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

5.    WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define

What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

6.      BABY MINE

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, Dry your eyes
REst your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for the
right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

All of those people who scold you
What they'd give just for the
Right to hold you

From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Baby of mine

7.       DREAMING MY DREAMS WITH YOU



I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
I hope that I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

I won't let it change me
Not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away
As much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you

Now you tell me that you want to leave me
But darling, I just can't let you

9.  RESTLESS

Honey, I know you've been alone some,
Why don't you 'phone some, 'cause I love you.
An' honey, I know I've been away some,
I've had to pay some and you have too.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

I just can't stand bein' alone.
Gonna have to change that some day.
Get a restless feelin' in my bones an' I know,
That at times, it just won't go away.

So if it's all the same, honey, I can't take the blame, baby,

I can't play your game, honey, what's true is true.
And if, in the end, the temptation wears you thin, honey,
I'll, I'll just pretend that I'll leave it up to you.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
Can't help it if I'm full of fire.

But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led down town.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.

10.     GOODBYE IS ALL WE HAVE

I'm soaring the sky
I can hear the birds and man they don't lie
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this high

I'm moving on
I got the words to a brand new song
How you gonna catch me, when I'm this close

[Chorus:]
Gone tomorrow here today
Just in case you got somethin' to say
I'll be leaving with the breast of
Goodbye is all we have

I disconnected the phone
Told the neighbors I'll be heading home
As soon as the light hits the morn

I'm heading north
Gonna see what this heart's really worth
I guess it's time to be on my own

[Chorus]

I sure would love to see you tonight
Maybe try to end this fight
If I don't hear you knockin' on my door
Then I'll know for sure

[Chorus ]

 11.           LAST LOVE LETTER


 I'm writing my last love letter
And for reasons now, I don't know where to start
Seems so many times I've written down "I love you"
Well I hope this time I can get that through your heart

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

And maybe I was wrong to ever think that you could love me

I was hoping you just couldn't find the time
Have my efforts been in vain with pen and paper?
Did you ever care, did I ever cross your mind?

Only fools will go on and keep talkin' to a wall
But I can't fool around forever
And if stone is the wall that you've built around your heart
Then I guess it's goodbye in this letter

In this letter
In this letter

12.      IF I DID NOT KNOW ANY BETTER

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already settled down in the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary feelin'
The moon is our deceiver that will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this is just a beautiful illusion, a case of the confusion, between love and desire


Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love

When the flame burns out
And fine'ly settles down
And you'd forget I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin'
Deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run I found you already
settled down in the back of my mind

13.          BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU


When The Morning Sun Streaks Across My Room
And I'm Waken Up From Another Dream Of You
When I'm On The Road, Once Again It Seems
All that's Left Behind, Is A Chain Of Broken Dreams

But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh.... I Love You....

How I Wish That Love, was all We Need To Live

What A Life We'd Have, Cause I've Got So Much To Give
But It Seems So Wrong, Deep Inside My Heart
That The Dollar Sign Should Be Keeping Us Apart

But You Know I Love

Yes I Love You.....Ohhh I Love You

And If Only I Could Find My Way Back To The Time

When The Problems Of This Life it
Did not Cross your Minds
And All The Answers could be
Found In Children's Nursery Rhymes
And I'd Come Running Back To You,
I'd Come Running Back To You

But You Know
We Can't Live On Dreams Alone
And To Pay The Rent, I Must Leave You All Alone
And Though I Made My Choice Many Years Ago
And now This Traveling Life Is The Only One I Know

But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh I Love You
But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh I Love You...

14.       WINTER OF A BROKEN HEART

Oh it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray and the heart you left broken is lonely
The winter wind blows through the trees and with the song I sing
I long for the days you loved me only

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Oh the nights will never be the same as when the love was new
Young hearts so tender in their yearning
But seasons, change and lovers too
And winter's twice as cold
But the fire in one heart is always burning

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

Though a million hours pass the time and lonely is the pain
And what was love is just a spell that's broken
So blow the wind and freeze the rain and try like lover's do
Seems our hearts have never really spoken

Sorrow lingers, shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart

1.     LOVE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS

You and I stalkin' each other
Beatin' around the bush
You and I stuck in the weather
Somebody needs a push
Every time you decide
That the time isn't right
Every time that you hide
From your feelings your loneliness wins

Let love begin
Let the magic happen
Give me half a chance

CHORUS:
I'll hold you now
I'll show you now
I'll give you all of my love
Speaks louder that words
Let this love keep talkin'
I'll hold you now
I'll show you how
I'll give you all of my love
Speaks louder than words
Please let me in
Let this love begin

Every time you make a promise
I've been the one who waits
Only time's keepin' it from us
Love never comes too late
As I live and I breathe
You will someday believe
I'm the one that you need,
Let your feelings forget where you've been

Let love begin
Let the magic happen
Give me half a chance

3.      MORE LOVE

More love
I should have listened more and listened well
I should have been your shelter in the rain
I should have touched you more and held you closer
Til I felt it melt your quiet pain
Should I have had more time to spare for you
Should have been there for you, to care for you
With more love, more love
I could have given you the gifts I threw to total strangers
Passing through my nights
I could have cuddled near your gentle flame
Been warmer there than in these glaring lights
Should have had more time to spare for you

Should have been there for you, to care for you
With more love, more love, more love
What would it have taken if only could have taken
My eyes off me for a while
Id have seen the hurtin hidin just behind the curtain of your smile
Oh, I swear I didn't know, which goes to show
How long it takes a man to be a man
But if I say enough
And try enough
And pray enough

6.     CLOSER TO YOUR LOVE



There are those who fly from the highest heights
On the wings they carry
Searching for the high they can never find
Thinking love is blind, never mind
They'll never see the forest for the trees
'Til they turn to love

Crying through the eyes of my own disguise
Came to know the truth from the lies
So, I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now
All I want is just to stand
Closer to your love

Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love

If you try to fly from the highest heights
On the wings you carry
Searching for the high of your own design
You may come to find, you been blind

So, I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now
All I want is just to stand
A little bit closer to your love

Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love


Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love

Closer, we could be so much closer

Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
To move in closer to your love

Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I want to move in closer to your love

I, don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
To move in closer to your love

Well I, don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna feel the fire, power and all I can dream of
Don't wanna climb a mountain, don't wanna swim a river
I wanna move in closer to your love

  7.   OUR LOVE

There's a land where lovers dream,
Where poets dwell.
We can sail tomorrow.
There is always room for one
Who wishes well.
There are doubters who
Will be welcome too.
When you can't afford the fare,
There's a wish to borrow.
Our love,we must never doubt it.
Our love,when you think about it.

Love like our's will live a
Thousand years.
Yes,I know you've heard the story
Without end.And you're uninspired.
Still,a walk without a wish
Cannot begin,
If you wish at all,
We can conquer all-
Learn to walk and run again,
As we chase Goiath.

   8.      10 k HIGH

Would you like to come along
We can sing a simple song
If you want to name the tune, you're invited
I'm so glad that you're my friend
Did I say I think we'll win
Though the fight is so often one-sided
Can we sing that part again
All about how we will win
Gotta know how in the end nothin's dyin'
And the ribbon in the sky
Is the vision in your eye
Let's get lost in... stay lost and refine
The art of flyin'

Chorus:
We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high trusting our dream
To forever
We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high in every dream

Makin' heaven

What a day for breaking through
What a day for seeing you
Do you remember how we said
Nothin's dyin'
And the love of which I sing
Is like the phoenix on the wing
We started,we parted, we found
We're fond of flyin'

(Chorus)

Speaking of warring nations
Talk of broken heart relations
Set me down in revelation's light
So that I might
That I might find a way to tell you true
Miracles redeeming you

{Scat solo]

(Chorus)

We'll be 10 K high over the mountain
Over the river
We'll be 10 K high trusting our dream
To forever
10 K high

    9.     LEAN ON ME


Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me...

    10.          SINCE I FELL FOR YOU


Intro:
When you give love and never get love,
You'd better let love depart,
I know it's so and still I know,
I can't get you out'a my heart.
You made me leave my happy home,
You took my love and now you're gone,
Since I fell for you.
My life has been such misery and pain,
I guess I'll never be the same,
Since I fell for you.
Chorus:
Well, it's too bad and it's too sad,
That I'm in love with you.
Well, you love me and then you snub me,
But what can I do ..... I'm still in love with you.
I guess I'll never see the light,

I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you.
Chorus:
Well, its' too bad and it's too sad,
That I'm in love with you.
Well, you love me and then you snub me,
But what can I do ..... I'm still in love with you.
I guess I'll never see the light,
I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you.
Ending:
Since you love me ..... then you snub me,
I prayed you'd put the world above me,
And now I ... black and blue ... scoo - doo - doo - doo ...
Since I fell for you
(Repeat and scat out)

   11.     SUPERFINE LOVE



I've been walking on a tight rope
Ever since I made up my mind
And I'm swaying with the wind
From my left to my right
Everyone's pretending
They don't wanna see me fall
But I never let 'em touch me at all

Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud

I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world

I've been staring out my window
Ever since it started to rain
And the raindrops look like teardrops
On my windowpane

I'm so tired of waiting, waiting
For the sun to come around
Gonna button up my coat
And head downtown


Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud

Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud

I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world

Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They cant hear me
When I cry out loud

Sometimes I get weary
All alone in a faceless crowd
They can't hear me
When I cry out loud

I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world
I'm searching for a superfine love
In a lonely world

     12.    LOVE IS REAL


You think that love
is just a fairy tale
Maybe true love is sold
and bought
Hansel and Gretel found
their candy getting stale
And you're gonna find
You ain't no Goldilocks

When those bells just
keep on ringing
And that song you're singing
And you want to share
your Mondays-
Right through to Sundays
Your best friend is softly speakin'
She won't call this weekend
No way-it's only a fling you say
But
Love is real, yes it is girl
Never let anyone
tell you different
when you can feel it
Love is real, yes it is mama
Never let anyone
tell you different
When you can feel this
feeling's for real


Let me tell you something
Don't go away
Don't you stray
Let me tell you something
Don't go away
Don't you stray

You think that love's
What's on that silver screen
Raquel and Redford are the tops
You've been misled
by all those movies you've seen
Love ain't a robber
Hidin' from the cops

When you toss 'n' turn all morning
And you wake up yawning
And you walk that floor all evening
And you should be leaving
And you find yourself pretending
You've got a happy ending-
No way-it's only a fling you say
But

CHORUS:

(vocal Improvisation)

   13.    LOVE IS WAITING

Livin' a dream
Where things are even
Better than they seem
I wanna go
To where the lights
Inside provide the glow

You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Well, take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
You already knew
Look inside and you

Love is waiting
It's just around the bend

Waiting for you to turn the
Charm on
Oh, waiting and it will never end
Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)

What'll you do
When all the fancy dancin'
Days are through
Where will you go
When all the neon lights
Have lost their glow

You can believe when
I tell you it's true
Come take a little ride with me
Can you conceive that
You already knew
Look inside and you will see that

Love is waiting
It's just around the bend
Waiting for you to turn the
Charm on
Oh, waiting and it will never end
Give it up you're overdue
(Love will see you through)

    14.      YOUR SWEET LOVE

And when I thought
my flame was out
You entered in

I look around
I feel the same as before
I'm on the ground
I'm dreaming away, but you know
I would trade all of
my daydreams for
some wings
A sparrow sings

The thrill was gone
But like the summer
The spring
Will bring the dawn
And I'll be singing your song
For a wondrous new change is
Taking me up to heaven

Your sweet love -
brighter than light -
Streaking like a starship -
Your sweet love -
brightens the night -
Gleaming down on our ship
Your sweet love -
making me realize
That heaven is right
here in your eyes

I look around
It's not the same as before
I'm on the ground
But now I'm singing your song
For this wondrous new change
Is taking me up to heaven

CHORUS:

(Instrumental and Voice)

And when I thought
my flame was out
You entered in

I thank the stars
But you know as often
I thank the things you are
And all I offer
Just longs for that wondrous
new change
That's taking me up to heaven

CHORUS:

CHORUS:

I found my lucky star
Was gleaming nightly
Your love in starlight
Screaming 'round the bend

.  I  WANNA BE THE ONE


Were you named for the river that surrounds
All my biggest my mistakes or the way that I made it out
All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things
Until the day she handed you to me

Now for all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome
I wanna be the one to put in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side
She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived
And I know that it's been sang before but you're my human holiday
I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life
And your brother with his best friend
Shares a name I'm gonna need
Really couldn't bring me down
For everything you lost and all you overcome
I wanna be the one to put it in a song
Take every single tear for all the world to hear
I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever

Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past
Its sends its call out to the moon
And the moon can see the beauty that surrounds your heart as it pounds
It starts the beat inspiring me until I make the sound

I wanna be the one, I wanna be one, I wanna be the one

2.       ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS

All the pretty girls on a saturday night
So I call your name, cross my fingers
uncross the others, hesitate.
I don't think straight with nothing to prove.

I don't wanna say I'm leaving
so I'll stay until the weekend.
And you can take all your things;
the boxes and rings
and get going.

'Cause I've been waiting for...

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

So I call you out
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
And I do, baby I do
'Til their lips start to move,
and their friends wanna talk music
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
But I have, I just hate the band
'cause they remind me of you.

Every single night ends up the same,
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.

I don't understand your reasons
Please just stay over the weekend
You can't take all those things
They define you and me
everything we've become,
You're all that I need
Please don't make me face my generation alone.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
But not you,
I feel your faith is destroying the world
and then this one doesn't want to admit
the 80s is over and done
Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,
when all the pretty girls can't measure to you

3.     SOME NIGHTS



Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck; some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright).
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I, who I
a-a-a-am, oh who am I, m-mm, m-mm.
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I standfor

What do I stand for? What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know...
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on.
That is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks back home; I'm sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lie
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance...

4.     WE ARE  YOUNG (ft. Janelle Monae)

You and me a second eye
I need to get my story straight
My friend's are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a
scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Now I know it I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart

But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me ho,me

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

5.     WHY AM I THE ONE

I've got enough on my mind
That when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto

She's keeping count on her hands
One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side

I've finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been

I mean it's always never like this
I wanna feel with the seasons
I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles
And I just wanna stay in bed

I hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff

For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

She got enough on her mind
But now she feels no sorrow (?)
I let my faith fill the air
So now she's rolling down the window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me

We were fools to think that nothing would go wrong

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff

For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
And I'll move back down

To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
(I'll move back)

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff

Well - go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff

For once, for once, for once
I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one
Always packing all my stuff?

I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
And I'll move back down

  6.        IT  GETS BETTER


What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short
It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
I can taste your summer sweat
It's never been so warm
So can we kick the covers off?
They're always on
It's never been so warm
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
Wish you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down
What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better
(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

7.       ALL ALONE



I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep but
Now that you're gone she's all I've left to hold

And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone

I gave it to you I thought you might appreciate
The way that she dances, the painted look upon her face
She must of come from the sun. I wanna take her through the park
Where she tell me I'm all that she wants and she could even talk.

I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?

You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

As she sits on my shelf it makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became empty

She's a lot like you
But when i hold her too
Tight I know she'll break
Just take some glue to stay

I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

8.     C'M0N

[Brendon]
It's getting late, and I
Cannot seem to find my way home tonight
Feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole
Falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone
What would my head be like
If not for my shoulders
Or without your smile
May it follow you forever
May it never leave you
To sleep in the stone,
May we stay lost on our way home

[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Nate]
If I should die tonight
May I first just say I'm sorry
For I, never felt like anybody
I am a man of many hats although I
Never mastered anything
When I am ten feet tall
I've never felt much smaller, since the fall
Nobody seems to know my name
So don't leave me to sleep all alone
May we stay lost on our way home?

[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon]
Try not to mistake what you have with what you hate

[Brendon and Nate]
It could leave, it could leave, come the morning

[Nate]
Celebrate the night
It's the fall before the climb

[Brendon and Nate]
Shall we sing, shall we sing, 'til the morning

[Brendon]
If I fall forward, you fall flat

[Brendon and Nate]
And if the sun should lift me up
Would you come back? C'mon!

[music interlude]

[Brendon]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]
C'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon and Nate]
So c'mon, c'mon, with everything falling down around me
I'd like to believe in all the possibilities

[Brendon screams] YEAH YEAH YEAH!

[Brendon]
It's getting late and I, cannot seem to find my way home tonight.

   9.    TAKE YOUR TIME

Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.

She is here and now she is gone
We had plans, we can't help but make love.

It's a beautiful thing when we you love somebody,
And I love somebody.
Yeah I love somebody.

Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
I don't think I'd been misled,
it was a rocknroll band,
I'm still standing,
Take your time coming home.

See, of everyone who called,
Very few said "We believe in you."
The overwhelming choice said
I'm just a boy inside a voice
and if that's true, if that's true, if that's true,
then what the fuck have I been doing the last six years?
How did I end up here?
How did I find love and conquer all my fears?
See, I made it out.
Out from under the sun.
And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.

Now I'm not scared
of a song
or the states,
or the stages.
I'm not scared.
I've got friends,
took my call,
came courageous.
Now I feel like I am home.

One more think, I keep having this dream
where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking out, on the street
I can hear kids in low-income housing singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, I'm through with causing a scene.

She is here and now I think she's ready to go.
For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.

So come on with me, sing along with me,
Let the wind catch your feet.
If you love somebody,
you'd better let them know.

Take your time coming home.

   10.    STICH ME UP

 :
It's how we do it, our feet in the sand
It's how we do it, our heads in our hands
It's how we do it, I'm not looking for a reason to go
It's how we do it, we did it, we done it, but never before

I know,
You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
Know we can do it, if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive

It's how we do it
It's how we do it, if I lose you I'm losing control
So snap your fingers, pull the trigger cause I figure we're better as gold
It's how we do it, I'm a satellite looking for a signal to space
It's how we do it, we did it, we done it, let's do it again


You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
Know we can do it, if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive.
I'll find somebody who will stitch me up,
No I've never been better than when falling apart

I, Know we can do it, if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive
You put the keys in the car and drive

For all that I know, it's gonna come back, tenfold
For all that I know, it's gonna come back, tenfold
But Darlin', Oh no, I don't think that we'll make it out alive
Darlin', Oh no, we won't make it, out alive
Now I'm lying, with each passing day

So if you're coming, then come quick 'cause, I'm scared.
I'm floating away.

It's how we do it, for the first time, I don't need a reason to go
It's how we do it, we did it, we done it, let's do it some more

You put the keys in the car and drive
I'm gonna make sure the money is right
Know we can do it, if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive


I'll find somebody who will stitch me up,
No I've never been better than when falling apart
I, Know we can do it, if we do it all night
You put the keys in the car and drive,
You put the keys in the car and drive
You put the keys in the car...
And drive!

11.   BELIEVE IN ME


My christmas list is filling up with stuff I don't need
I was hoping for new shoes, the kind with the lights
I was naughty in high school, but now i'm trying to be nice

Even Santa he is thankful for the little things
(Like what kind of stuff Santa?)
Thanks to the reindeer that pull me on my sleigh
Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way
And I won't be greedy, I don't ask for much these days
I just need one thing, please believe in me

Well chistmas comes just once a year
I was hoping for snow shoes, or maybe a bike
But when I asked them for fun, they bought me "Aim and Ignite"

Even Santa he is thankful for the little things (Sweet Santa)
Thanks to the reindeer that pull me on my sleigh
Thanks for the moonlight that guides me on my way
Thanks for the memories 'cause they keep us safe and remind me that it's okay to be lonely
Please believe in me.

(Hey, Mary-Kate, what are you getting Ashely for christmas?
Um, I actually just got her a boflex.
Shut Up! I was gonna get her a boflex.
Well, do you want to go shopping for something else?
No, I'm going home.)

12.    LIGHT A ROMAN CANDLE

 Light a Roman Candle with Me :
Light a roman candle with me
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
Then you can go and rest
you haven't seen my best, so...

Just spend an evening with me
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
or we could stay and talk until three.
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...

Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.

If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
a sandwich with everything on it,
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
but we owe it to ourselves to try,
so we aim and ignite!
So often I call and I plead with you:
"Give me a chance!"
It's not often that I understand
the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
So don't think of tomorrow tonight.

Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone...

You look for a legend,
I'm looking for common ground.
Your heart isn't breaking,
and mine isn't making a sound.

Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old...

Light a roman candle with me.
Just a roman candle.
Just a perfect apple.
