This Kiss

Beth Nielsen Chapman - Annie Roboff - Robin Lerner

I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry no
I don't wanna learn the hard way
Baby hello
Oh no goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's ah impossible
This kiss this kiss
Unstoppable
This kiss this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
"How does love get so off course
Oh all I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart
Soft touch fast horse"
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby I'm forever yours

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's ah unthinkable
This kiss this kiss
Unsinkable
This kiss this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating
You got me flying

It's the way you love me (The way)
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion (Ah ah)
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's ah subliminal
This kiss this kiss
It's criminal
This kiss this kiss
It's the way you love me baby (the way you love me baby)
It's the way you love me darling yeah

It's the way you love me (tThe way)
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion (ah ah)

You Give Me Love

Matraca Berg - Harry Stinson - Jim Photoglo

You turn around
Then you ask me behind tears of doubt
Just what do I see in you
Please don't cry
I know sometimes it seems we barely get by
But you don't see how much you do
To get me through

When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love

I apologize
If I never told you what you are in my eyes
Oh baby let me tell you now
Every day
Looks sweeter knowing you'll be there in every way
Now how can you say that's not enough

Cause when the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And it feels I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love

You give me everything my heart desires
Morning sun and midnight fires
Someone there to share my dreams
With you I have everything

When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love

Yeah when my world is cold
And I need a friend to hold me
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
Yeah when my world is cold
And I need a friend to hold me
You give me love
You give me love

Let Me Let Go

Steve Diamond - Dennis Morgan

I thought it was over baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Going through my mind
In fact not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice your touch memories of your love
Are with me all of the time

Let me let go baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

I talked to you the other day
Looks like you made your escape
You put us behind no matter how hard I try
I can't do the same

Let me let go baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Let me let go darling won't you
I just gotta know yeah
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

The lights of this strange city are shining
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side baby
But everywhere I look everywhere I turn
You're all I see

Let me let me let go baby won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Oh let me let go darling won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah you're still in my soul
Let me let go
Let me let go
Let me let go

Love Ain't Like That

Tim Gaetano - A.J. Masters

You can't buy it at the store
Try it on for size
Then bring it back if it don't feel right
No love love ain't like that

You can't trade it in
Like an automobile
That's got too many miles an' rust on it's wheels
No love love ain't like that

Love ain't that easy to define
You can't build it by design
It takes its own sweet time

It don't fall from the sky
Like a tiny drop of rain
That hits you right between the eyes one day
No love love ain't like that

You can't put your money down
An' just roll the dice
Think you're gonna win it all some night
No love love ain't like that

Love yeah
Love ain't that easy to define
You can't build it by design
It takes its own sweet time

You can't buy it at the store
Try it on for size
Bring it back if it don't feel right
No love love ain't like that

Love no love love love it ain't like that
Can't trade it in like an automobile
Too many miles and rust on the wheels
No love no love no it ain't like that

Oh love love oh love it ain't like that
Oh love love love love love love love it ain't like that

It don't fall from the sky
You can't trade it in
Can't buy it at the store
Then take it back again

Hard times are falling on you
Even when you smile I see the hurt come through
And I know it feels like it's never gonna end

Better days; they're coming for you
I know they will
Cause I'll be right here making sure they do

My Wild Frontier

Franne Golde - Robin Lerner - Marsha Malamet

How do I feel? Well I feel so alone
Like a sad armadillo across this desert I roam
I've been stripped down bare till I break
Still the wheel keeps turning

Had me a sweet one I tell no lie
Summer nights in the cornfields
When the corn gets so high
We traveled clear across Wichita headin' north
Leavin' civilization

And there were highways to get across
And places far from here
And I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier

Harvested peaches in a small border town
Saved all our wages
Put ten percent down
I never thought I'd see the world through a child's eyes
Until early December

Then one Calgary morning
Still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping an angel slipped past
And with one breath said I'm taking him back
To his Father in Heaven

Through gravel and ice and new fallen snow
I held him through my tears
Because I was his lonesome prairie
And he was my wild frontier

Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Oh oh oh
Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Oh oh oh

And sometimes at night
I swear I can hear him
Calling out so clear
He says you were my lonesome prairie
And I'm still your wild frontier

Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Babe I miss you
Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along

Get along get along get along
Get along get along get along
Oh oh oh

The Secret Of Life

Gretchen Peters

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says You know I've been thinking
Other one says That won't get you too far
He says this is your life and welcome to it
It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on TV says 'Just Do It'
Hell if I know what that means

The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall

You and me we're just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down-and-outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What have they got to be unhappy about
So they turn to the bartender Sam what do you think
What's the key that unlocks that door
Sam don't say nothin' just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more

'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is in Monday Night Football
Rolling Stones records and Mom's apple pie

Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says boys you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back
Hey

The secret of life is gettin' up early
The secret of life is stayin' up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait
Don't wait

The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin' at all
Oh it's nothin' at all
The secret of life

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says You know I've been thinking
Other one says That won't get you too far
That won't get you too far

Me

Aimee Mayo - Marv Green

I changed my hair my clothes almost
Everything about myself
I can't believe I tried to be somebody I'm not
For someone else yeah
It took finding you to finally understand
What it's like to be loved for who I am

Me that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see yeah
No second guessing no pretending
With you all I ever have to be is me

I can laugh or cry don't have to hide
The way I feel
Rain or shine by my side proving we've got
A love that's real yeah
An old pair of jeans or an evening gown
You still see the same girl that you found

Me that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see yeah
No second guessing no pretending
With you all I ever have to be is me

Oh oh me that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see yeah
No second guessing no pretending
With you all I ever have to be is me
All I ever need to be oh yeah
All I ever have to be is me

I Love You

Aldo Nova

I must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch

To whisper in your ear
Words that are old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine

I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
And you'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side

I love you
Please say you love me too
These three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time

So today I finally find the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body can't move when I finally get to it
Like a thousand times before
Then without a word you handed me this letter
Read I hope this finds the way into your heart it said

I love you
Please say you love me too
Till the end of time.

Well maybe I I need a little love yeah
Maybe I I need a little care
Maybe you maybe you need somebody just to hold you
If you do
Just reach out
I'll be there

I love you
Please say you love me
Please say you love me too
These three words they could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together

Oh I love you
Please say you love me
Please say you love me too
Till the end of time
Oh baby my baby together forever
I love you
I will be your light
Shining through your eyes

The Hard Way

Keith Brown - Donna Douglas

I hear every word they say
They tell me to stay away
They say I'm better off without you baby
You've caused me nothing but pain
Heartache's your middle name
But seems I never see it coming
I'll just admit it baby
You really drive me crazy
Let go of my heart
'Cause every time you're near me
I can't think clearly
Defenses fall apart

I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby I will get it right

I never will understand
Why I let you think you can
Treat me any way you please baby
I guess I hope someday
You'll settle down and say
Give me all the love I need baby
Time and time I've found
You always let me down
Always ends the same way
You'd think that I could see the way you're treatin' me
Won't ever change

I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby I will get it right

If I could just hold on if I could just be strong
My heart would see it's wrong lovin' you lovin' you

I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way
Someday baby I will get it right

Livin' and lovin' the hard way
You're the hardest lesson oh baby of my life
Livin' and lovin' the hard way
Someday I will get it right

Somebody Stand By Me

Sheryl Crow - Todd Wolfe

It's quiet here tonight
There's a light burnin' far away
It burns in my heart
In the rain in the dark
Well this girl's gonna have her day

I've been this alone for so long
I'm beginning to wonder why
I stand in one place
Different name different face
But no one's gonna see me
Break down and cry

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Lord I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
Won't somebody stand stand by me

I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
I'm starting to know the sound
Of nothing and no one and yet everything

Well if God's here tonight
Are You here tonight
Maybe You could grab me up
Lord stand me on my feet
Give me strength and set me free
'Cause I'm not giving in until I've had enough

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Oh I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
So here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
Here I am
Won't somebody stand stand by me

Stand by me stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me just one time
I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope

Won't somebody stand by me stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me stand by me just one time
I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
