Love In Store
All I know is the way that I feel
Whenever you're around
You've got a way of lifting me up
Instead of bringing me down
(Instead of bringing me down)
I can't fight it anymore
Since you've been around
We've got love in store
You're the only one I ever felt
Could be special to me
You look at me and I just melt
I'm scared of feeling that way
I can't fight it anymore
Since you've been around
We've got love in store
Never take your love away
Beggin' you baby
Never take your love away
Oh darlin'
Never take your love away
Beggin' you baby
Never take your love away

Can't Go Back
Standin' in the shadows
The man I used to be
I wanna go back
(can't go back, can't go back)
Melodies awaken
Sorrows from their sleep
I wanna go back
(can't go back, can't go back)
She was just a dream maker,
Dreamer of sighs
Shadow on the one who used to cry
A face as soft as a tear in a clown's eye
I wanna go back
(can't go back, can't go back)

That's Alright
Meet me down by the railway station
I've been waiting
And I'm through waiting for you
The train sings the same kind of blues
Well I don't know why I always trusted
Sometimes I think I must have
I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you, baby
Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
I'm all right...
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's all right...
That's all right
I believe, I believe that I know you
'Cause we've been a long time,
Now I've got to show you, that I
Well, I never did believe in time
You know, changin' anybody's mind
Now, I can't define love like it should be
That's all right,
That's all right
Please, I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's all right, yes
That's all right

Book Of Love
Walked out, goodbye
I swore I never would cry
Tore a page of my heart
She wants me to be her friend
I'm lonely again
Tore a page of my heart
Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love
Was it somebody from above
(Ha, ha, ha)
Surely he must know all the rules
(Ha, ha, ha)
Knowledge not meant for mortal fools
Must have been someone from above
Tell me, who wrote the book of love
In silence the lonely make all their mistakes
Tore a page of my heart
Someone in heaven above
Show me how to love
Tore a page of my heart

Gypsy
So I'm back to the Velvet Underground
Back to the floor that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does, well
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains
She faces freedom
With a little fear
I have no fear
I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your, your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your, your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your, your bright eyes, bright eyes
(She was just a wish)
(She was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

Only Over You
I'm out of my mind
And it's only over you
I'm out of my mind
And it's only over you
People think I'm crazy
But they don't know
Thought love had failed me
But now, they're watching it grow
Angel, please don't go
I miss you when you're gone
They say I'm a silly girl
But I'm not a fool
People say they know me
But they don't see
My heart's your future,
Your future is me
Angel, please don't go
I miss you when you're gone
They say I'm a silly girl
But I'm not a fool
I'm out of my mind
And it's only over you
I'm out of my mind
And it's only over you

Empire State
New York, open your eyes to me
Let me be what I want to be
Tell me, tell me it's not too late
Big Apple, takin' a bite of me
Whole world movin' below my feet
Not like, not like we do in L.A.
New York, make me a part of you
Straight, straight through the heart of you
Tell me, tell me it's not too late
Flying high on the empire state
Flying high on the empire state
New York, watch me burn ya down
Straight, straight through the heart of town
Tell me, tell me I'm not too late
Big Apple, takin' a bite of me
Whole world movin' below my feet
Not like, not like we do in L.A
Flying high on the empire state
Flying high on the empire state

Straight Back
What can I say this time
Which chord shall I play
The dream is not over
The dream is just away
And you will fly like some little wing straight back to the sun
The dream was never over
The dream has just begun
The dream has just begun
Fingers find the ivory keys
And a song begins to begin
Like a wolf on the run
And you will find while in the wind something that you lost
The dream was never over, no
The dream was only lost
(hours and hours of waiting for you, so strong and so fleeting)
The dream has just begun
(and hours of waiting for you in hopes of meeting)
The dream has just begun
(this way)
Well, the dream has just begun
She remembers how good it can be
He remembers a melody
Ah, in the shadow of my shadow in a gleam
He remembers how good it can be
She remembers a melody
Well, in the shadow of my shadow in a gleam
(hours and hours of waiting for you, so strong and so fleeting)
The dream has just begun
(hours and hours of waiting this way meeting, me)
Hours of waiting for you
(so strong and so fleeting)
The dream has just begun...
(meeting this way)
Straight back now
(hours and hours of waiting
So strong and so fleeting)
Hours and hours waiting this way
Hours and hours of waiting this way
Straight back
Straight back
Straight back... yeah!
He remembers a melody
He remembers how good it can be

Hold Me
Can you understand me?
Baby, don't you hand me a line
Although it doesn't matter
You and me got plenty of time
There's nobody in the future
So, baby, let me hand you my love
Oh, no step for you to dance to
So slip your hand inside my glove
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
I don't want no damage
But how am I gonna manage you
You want a percentage
But I'm the fool payin' the dues
I live just around the corner
If you've got a minute to spare
I'll be waiting for you
If you ever want to be there
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me

Oh Diane
Oh no, here I go again
Fallin' in love again
Love is like a grain of sand
Slowly slippin' through your hand
Oh, oh, whoa...
Oh, oh, Diane
Oh, oh, Diane
Will I love you, I will, always
Will you stand by me always
'Cause Love is like a grain of sand
Slowly slippin' through your hand
Oh, oh, whoa...

Oh, oh, Diane

Oh, oh, Diane

Eyes Of The World
Tellin' you people, tell you no lie
My heart was breakin', I'll tell you why
Back and forth lies unfurl
In the eyes, in the eyes, in the eyes of the world
(Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
Monday's children are filled with face
Tuesday's children are filled with grace
Back and forth lies unfurl
In the eyes, in the eyes, in the eyes of the world
(Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)

Wish You Were Here
There's distance between us
And you're on my mind
As I lay here in the darkness
I can find no peace inside
I wish you were here holding me tight
If I had you near it would make it all right
I wish you were here
'Cause I feel like a child tonight
Rain on my window
I can count the drops
But I can't help feeling lonely
There's no way I can stop
I wish you were here
'Cause I feel like a child tonight
Each moment is a memory
Time is so unkind
Every hour, filled with an emptiness I can't hide

Blue Monday
Blue Monday
Well I hate Blue Monday
I got to work like a dog all day
Then come Tuesday, whoa oh Tuesday
And I'm tired, got no time to play
Then come Wednesday I'm beat to my socks
Got to work, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard working day
And Friday I get my pay
Saturday morning, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
I've got my money, and my honey
And I'm out on the streets to play
Sunday morning I'm feelin' bad
But its' worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

Cool Water
All day I face the baron ways
Without the taste of water
Cool Water
Poor Dan and I
We crossed the dry
And so I cried
Cool water
Cool clear water
Keep moving Dan
Don't you listen to him Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan don't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you
Shadows sway
They seem to say
Tonight we'll pray for water
Cool water
Way up there
You hear a prayer
And show us where there's water
Cool clear water
Keep moving Dan
Don't you listen to him Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan don't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you
All day I face the baron ways
Without the taste of water
Cool clear water
Cool clear water

Goodbye Angel
Goodbye Angel
I'm going down
But I'm not going 'round the bend
I'm giving out
But I'm not giving in
Love turned to hate
Touch turned to pull
What could I do?
My cup was full
Goodbye angel
Goodbye Angel
I'm giving out
But I'm not giving in
'Cause yesterday is not like today my friend
Love turned to hate
Touch turned to pull
What could I do?
My cup was full
Goodbye angel
Goodbye angel
Just let it go...
Keeping on pulling...
Just let it go...
Goodbye angel
Keeping on pulling...
Just let it go...

If You Were My Love
Tonight there are no saviors
This night outside my window
And the sun turns away
As the moon rolls over the mountain
And you are lost in your dreaming
Where is the wild white rose
Oh no…
My hands reached for numbers
Someone that could tell me
Oh, if you were my love
If you were my love
With your crosses to bear
And your dreams that still live on
With your crosses to bear, now
And your dreams that still live on
Whoa…
Moment to moment
Yeah, yeah
Moment to moment
Well they say that everyone, everyone, everyone
Must remain faithful
However momentarily
Now, now if I were the one
Who watched over your sleeping
No, no
You would never, never
Have been frightened
No…oh…no, no…
Not at all
And our dreams that still live on
With our crosses to bear
And our dreams that still live on
Oh, moment to moment
Yeah, yeah
Moment to moment
Well they say that everyone, everyone
Must remain faithful
Oh…ooh
If you were my love
If you were my love
(Yeah, yeah)
If you were my love
(No, yeah, yeah)
If you were my love
(Moment to moment)
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
If you were my love
(no no, everyone)
If you were my love
(Moment to moment)
If you were my love
(If you were my love)
If you were my love
(anytime)
(If you were my love…)
If you were my love
(You were my love, baby)
If you were my love
(you always be my love, baby)
If you were my love
It goes on and on and on down baby
If you were my love

Smile At You
Go on, save yourself
Leave the key here
You love someone else
I shouldn’t be here
Don’t ask me why
You know the answer
She’s so willing, little one
There was no chance there
I have come to know
This world of changing faces
I can’t change the world
And I can’t face it
So be true to me
My walls are flaming
She so willing, little one
I won't be staying
I won't be staying
She's so willing
What you did not need
Was a lady that who was stronger
You needed someone to depend on you
Well, I could not be her, baby
I did not want to
My first mistake was to smile at you
Smile at...
Now you fear the light
You run from the darkness
You never saw the change
That woman’s softness
So you be true to me
What love was stolen
Then there was nothing more
My heart, my heart was broken
My heart was broken
What you did not need
Was a lady who was stronger
You needed someone to depend on me
Now you run from the light
You run from the darkness
You never saw the change
That woman’s softness
When there was nothing more
Nothing more, nothing more
The only thing was
My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
My heart, my heart was broken
I should have turned around and ran, fly
I ran as fast as I can, fly
I should have turn around and ran
Turn around and ran
Turn around and ran
