Hold me tight

Hold me tight
All night long
I am weak
You are strong
I don’t care
What they say
When they find
I stayed away
How can they
Understand
What happens when
I’m in your hand.

I know they’ll shout
I know they’ll scream
I don’t care
I’ll live my dream
Tonight my dreams
Will come true
Tonights the night
I’ll have you
Let them shout
I don’t care
In you I find
The answer to my prayers.

And now it’s dawn
And I’m replete
Walking down
The empty streets
But I won’t run
I won’t hide
I walk tall
With you beside
No more wishing
No more the girl
Here I am
In a woman’s world.

All night long

All night long
You’ve been crying
All night long
I’ve been lying
All night long
Loves been dying
Will the new days dawning
Bring us peace.

All night long
Tears are burning
All night long
Hearts are yearning
All night long
Lives are blurring
Will the new days dawning
Bring us peace.

All night long
Truth lies bleeding
All night long
Hearts are needing
All night long
You’ve been pleading
Will the new days dawning
Bring us peace.

Now its day
I must leave you
Go away
I just need to
Bye my love
Find someone new
The new days dawning
Brings release.

One last chance

One last chance
Before you go
One more time
To let you know
One more thing
That you should know
No one else
Could love you so.

One more tear
Left to fall
One more fear
Worse than all
One more arrow
In my soul
No one else
Could love you more.

Satisfy me

Sometimes I think
Alone in my bed
Why did I let you
Get into my head
I need my space
Oh can’t you see
You have the power
To satisfy me.

When I remember
How it was back then
I knew I was going
But I didn’t know when
Then you came along
Said you’d set me free
And you’ve got the power
To satisfy me.

Why did you come back
And not stay away
Mess up my night time
Mess up my day
Sometimes I just wish
That you could not be
The only lover
Who can satisfy me.

So now that your here
I feel my heart pound
I know I don’t love you
But when you were around
I can’t wait for your hands
To set my soul free
Cause you have the power to satisfy me.

Come to me slowly

Come to me slowly
Come to be strong
Show me tonight
Make loving long
Come to me softly
Come to me fast
Come to me now
And make it last

Come to me sweetly
Come to me hot
Come share with me
What you’ve got
Come to me gently
Come to me now
If you don’t come
I’ll show you how

Come to me urgent
Come to me tonight
Come to me soon
Let’s make it alright
Come to me brother
Come take my hand
Together let’s search for
The promised land

Come to me this evening
Come to me til light
Come to me tomorrow
Come make it alright
Come to me angel
Come to my bed
Come to me quickly
Come stroke my head

Come to me at midnight
Come to my room
Come to me baby
Come to me soon
Come to me slowly
Come to me fast
Come to me now
Come make it last

Watch over me

Watch over me
Stay here tonight
Show me your love
Come hold me tight
Watch over me
Say that you’ll stay
Watch over me
Til the new day

Watch over me
Every day
Hold me tonight
Keep trouble away
Watch over me
Until the dawn
When I awake
Please don’t be gone

Watch over me
I’ll watch over you
Spend my life
Close to you
Watch over me
Watch over you
Hold me tight
All night thru

Another night

Another night
Another scene
Be my king
I’ll be your queen
I was born
For nights like this
The night is right
To feel your kiss
You and me boy
We are a team
This is the morning
Of your dream

Another day
Another town
When we’re always
Movin around
I was born
For times like this
Sell the world
For your kiss
You and me boy
We are a team
This is the morning
Of your dream

You come to me

You come to me
Every night
And take my fears away
Hold me hard
Hold me tight
And take my tears away

Chorus
It wasn’t you
I loved and lost
Who went and broke my heart
But it was you
Who came to me
Nursed my broken heart

You come to me
So soft and kind
And listen to my cries
And it is you
I am not blind
Who dries my aching eyes

Chorus
It wasn’t you
I loved and lost
Who went and broke my heart
But it was you
Who came to me
Nursed my broken heart

You come to me
I’ll come to you
And stay for all our hours
And I will say
I love you
And love will be ours

Take me in your arms

Take me in your arms
Tell me that you love me
Hold me thru the night
I am blind can’t you see
Take me to your heart
Tell me little lies
Hold me thru the night
See thru my disguise

Take me far from here
Tell me of your plans
Hold me thru the night
My life is in your hands
Take me from my home
Tell me you love me
Hold me thru the night
Help the blind to see

Take me here and now
Tell me where to go
Hold me thru the night
Never let me go
Take my life it’s yours
Tell me you are mine
Hold me thru the night
Til the end of time

Tell me about your dreams

Tell me about your dreams
The ones you hold so tight
The dreams that keep you going
That get you thru the night
Tell me about your hopes
The ones you clutch so tight
The hopes that keep you going
That get you thru the night

Tell me about your soul
That lies at the heart of you
Your own deepest thoughts
The things that get you thru
Tell me about your heart
What are its secret yearnings
The hopes and dreams of years
The things that you’re still learning

Tell me about it all
About what’s inside you
The things that stir your soul
The things you yearn to do
Tell me everything
Tell me that you love me
Tell me every night
Tell me you need me

Can’t explain it

No one can explain
About girls and boys
There’s no need to explain
Girls are boys toys
But did you ever ask the question
Did you ever wonder why
When boys walk away
Girls just sit and cry

Chorus
And I can’t explain it
And I don’t know what’s true
But here stands a girl
Accused of loving you
So don’t you break my heart
Don’t tell me your big lie
Remember when boys walk away
Girls just sit and cry

How can you explain it
This difference that’s so clear
You can walk away
It’s loneliness we fear
So please won’t you think twice
Before you say goodbye
You can just walk away
But girls just sit and cry

Chorus
And I can’t explain it
And I don’t know what’s true
But here stands a girl
Accused of loving you
So don’t break my heart
Don’t tell me you big lie
Remember when boys walk away
Girls just sit and cry

Whenever you go away

Whenever you go away
A part of me dies
Whenever you go away
The heart in me cries
Why are you leaving
Where will you go
A part of you lives in me
The one who loved you so

Whenever you go away
I start to feel the tears
Whenever you go away
I start to feel the fears
Why must you leave me
Why will you go
Open your eyes and you’ll see
The one who loved you so

Whenever you go away
I feel my dreams are dying
Whenever you go away
I can’t stop the crying
Why are you leaving
Tell me I must know
I’m the one whose grieving
I’m the one who loved you so

Like you loved me yesterday

I don’t know what to think
You’re always telling lies
You want to get away
I see it in your eyes
Chorus
But you keep on saying
That you want to go away
Will you love me tomorrow
Like you loved me yesterday

Whenever we’re together
The lies spill to the floor
I can’t help believing
You’ll walk out thru the door
But you keep on saying
That you want to go away
Will you love me tomorrow
Like you loved me yesterday

Chorus
But you keep on saying
That you want to go away
Will you love me tomorrow
Like you loved me yesterday

I feel your sleeping body
Beside me thru the night
Will you still be with me
When I see the morning light
But you keep on saying
That you want to go away
Will you love me tomorrow
Like you loved me yesterday

But I always loved you

You were my first love
A love that still lives on
Many things have changed since then
But memories are long
The days we ran the meadows
The nights ‘neath skies of blue
Many things came and went
But I always did love you

Can you remember the little room
And the mice in the wall
Many days have come and gone
But I can’t forget it all
The times we walked in fields of green
The days when our love grew
Many days have come and gone
But I always did love you

Now the years have split us
Kept our lives apart
You with your children
I with broken heart
Many days have come and gone
But my love is still true
I have loved some others
But I always loved you

Will you stay

I’ve spent the night beside you
Warm here in your bed
Slowly softly breathing
I stroke your sleeping head
I cannot bear to wake you
But I know that you must go
And so I softly whisper
It’s dawn, I love you so

Chorus
What’s the day look like
Have the rain clouds gone away
What’s the weather forecast
And will you please stay

I see your eyelids flutter
I hear you as you yawn
Will you be here beside me
By tomorrow’s dawn
I know that you must leave me
I know that you must go
I know what I feel for you
I know I love you so

Chorus
What’s the day look like
Have the rain clouds gone away
What’s the weather forecast
And will you please stay

So what

So what
You don’t love me
So what
I don’t care
So what
If you leave me
There’s nothing left to share
So what
If it’s over
So what
If we’re thru
So what
I don’t love you
So what
Will you do

So what
If you’re leaving
So what
If you cry
So what
Do I care
If you live or die
So what
If I’m lying
So what
Do you care
So what
If I’m dying
So what
You’re not there
