You Go On Without Me

I woke up

but i didn't see the the signs

that you had already left me

I guess i should of known

when you didn't come home

the bed sheets so cold beside me

I tried to play it your way

and look what it got me

my soul frozen over forever

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on without me

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on...you go on

forever without me

what made you go

what made you go

what made you go

forever without me

i cant stop the hands of time

i cant stop the tears of mine

i cant believe this is happening

we're like strangers now

separated and estranged somehow

there's no turning back

you've gone and broke our pact

two lovers that lost their way

pulling away each and every day

the part that stands between us

as grand as the widest canyon

only the echo of what was

bouncing back to remind us

of something that was once truly wonderful

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on without me

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on...you go on

forever without me

what made you go

what made you go

what made you go

forever without me

i cant stop the hands of time

i cant stop the tears of mine

i cant believe this is happening

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on without me

you go on...you go on

you go on...you go on

on and on...on and on

you go on...you go on

forever without me

what made you go

what made you go

what made you go

forever without me

The listener

she confides in me
i don't know why
maybe it's just because
i'm a good listener

she tells me about all her woes
i still don't know why
even with everything she's said
she's still a mystery

she doesn't wait for a reply
i still don't know why
i guess she doesn't want any answers
and it utterly perplexes me
that she wants to stay here with me

but once in a while
i see a slight glimmer of hope
maybe it's just the early morning light
but i wake to her staring at me

what is it that's on your mind
whats on your lips trying to get out
what is it that you're holding in
i can't understand until you make a sound

this crazy old world tries to keep us down
the time we waste won't be coming back around
so tell me...honey please tell me
ya please tell me...what's been keeping you down

time is short and the days are long
the night time flies by and breaks with dawn
there's something in the air
honey i can feel all of your despair

so talk to me...ya talk to me
you can lay it all in my ear

so talk to me...ya talk to me
you can have solice in that i'm always here

what is it that's on your mind
whats on your lips trying to get out
what is it that you're holding in
i can't understand until you make a sound

time is short and the days are long
the night time flies by and breaks with dawn

this crazy old world tries to keep us down
the time we waste won't be coming back around

She Begs

She Begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs until the dawn

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs cuz she ain't strong

tears running down her face

they've been there way too long

she can't stop them from coming

because they come from

way way way deep down inside

no way to stop them

because she aint that strong

something snapped inside

something broke her soul

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs until the dawn

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs cuz she ain't strong

no it's never a sure thing

placing all your bets on love

but there's always one thing

it's gonna drag you down

it all starts so fine

then it unravels, then it unwinds

you get all tossed and turned

your head is spinnin round

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs until the dawn

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs cuz she ain't strong

you don't want to let it go

so much time has passed you by

but you kept holding on

hoping and prayin for a better day

one more page of fate

one more heartache fades away

until death comes to take you

then something makes you wake

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs until the dawn

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs cuz she aint strong

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs until the dawn

she begs ... she begs

she begs ... she begs

she begs cuz she aint strong

i have something

im not one to tell a tale
but i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
for all to see
so listen close
because there's only time
to tell it once
i have something
i have something
i gotta say
it might be time to pray
get down on your knees
ya close your eyes
close your ears
say your prayers
cuz it's coming
cuz it's coming
ya it's coming
it's coming for you
it's coming for you
it's coming for you
maybe you'll make it thru the night
maybe you'll see the sun
early in the morning
one last time
before you hear them calling
i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
for all of you to see
you better, you better
keep your eyes on me
you better, you better
not turn around
and pretend to leave
i'm getting sick and tired
of all this bullshit
ya i'm getting fed up
with all your lies
everything you say has no truth
everything that you do
leaves me in the dark
and you running off
why did you even try
when you never planned on
saying good bye
what made you give me empty promises
what goes on up that mind
who in the hell hurt you
that you have to hurt me too
i put in my love and my faith
only to have it crushed again
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
Baby you're crushing my soul
i don't know what i'm gonna do
i don't know what i'm gonna do
i don't know what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do about you
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do about you
what i'm gonna do about you
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
Baby you're crushing my soul
what made you give me empty promises
when you never planned on
saying good bye
when you never planned on
saying good bye
ya when you never planned on
saying good bye
i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
time to let it out
time to let it out
ya it's time to let it out
set it free
set it free
set it free
ya set it free
set me free
set me free
set me free
baby why don't you
set me free
set me free
set me free

When I Have You Like This

Your kiss is.. so full of might
your taste is ..a force of delight

our lips filling each other with hope

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Oh let the light on in

i'm blinded by the bliss

no one else is around

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Holding you in my arms

feeling you close to me

the stars shine bright tonight

the moon favors us as one

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

We could fall from the sky

we would be completely oblivious

nothing below us and nothing above us

there's no walls to close us in

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

And when we finally come up for air

we know every thing's gonna be alright

there's not a care in this world

Two lonely hearts now full of love

you know we just can't get enough

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

I never want to let you go

i just want time to stand still

So i can be with you forever

we can grow old together

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Come on darling give me a kiss

hold me as tight as you can

Show me how much you really care

don't leave me..don't let me shed a tear

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this
