** ALWAYS **
Watching you
knowing you're in love with me
Take me to the highest point of ecstasy
I've been loving you so long
I can't separate you from me.
Hold me tight
Hold me 'til I barely breathe
In my eyes, look close, it's only you I see
If I blink you might be gone
And I'd lose a part of me
The very best of me.
(chorus)
Come here
And hold me while I whisper all my secrets in your ear
And I'll tell you how I feel about you
And I'll be yours always.
I believe
loving you has been good for me
Take my hand, touch every single part of me
Press your finger prints into my heart for all to see
That you belong to me.

** WHO'S USING WHO **
Watching you through the window, I see
Your lover's ready to leave,
that's when I'll fall heart first into your open arms.
I don't understand what you're thinking.
Being second just makes me wanna die when I realize what's going on.
But when I get my arms around you,
I start to like this hell that you put me through.
Is her kiss so much sweeter than mine?
Does she love you the way that I love you
Or is her love just passing time?
I can make the commitment she can't.
I can love you forever,
I can't believe that you'd choose her love and push me aside.
But when I get my arms around you, oh it's true.
I start to like this hell that you put me through.
Who's using who and who ends up the fool.
Babe, when I get my arms around you,
I start to like this hell that you put me through.
You're using her.
She's using you.
You're using me.
Who's using who?

** NOT TODAY **
I can't dry your tears this time.
Those days have passed you by.
There was a time when I would try
but, not today.
I gave you time to decide
and you let my love walk by.
I used to need a reason why
but, not today.
I can't save your soul
and I'm taking my soul back.
I once gave you control.
You were so good at that.
For what it's worth to you,
I have feelings, too.
You can't change my mind.
Your love took its toll on me.
I know that you'll be fine
after I set you free.
For what it's worth it's true,
I did love you.
Your life's back in your own hands.
and if you find love again,
remember, I was once your friend
but, not today.
I don't feel the same, no, not today.
|
** I PROMISE **
I don't know how to fix this mess I'm in.
Where I end is right where you begin.
I wouldn't only like to see you again,
I want you in my life for all times.
I know it takes some time for a heart to heal.
But trust in yours and know that I'm for real.
I wouldn't waste your time if I didn't feel
That the love is forever this time.
(chorus)
I promise I'll love you forever
I'm sorry if I didn't tell you before.
If by chance you still want me
then I'll let you know it for sure
and give you all of my love.
When you're around I find it hard to breathe.
You even occupy me in my sleep.
And I would almost do whatever you please
if only you'd give me a sign.
You call my name and set my soul on fire.
I didn't realize love gets much higher.
There's that thin line between love and desire
and I know where I'm headed this time.
(repeat chorus)
I promise I'll love you forever
I'll love you forever, I promise
I'll love you forever, believe it
I will
There's that thin line between love and desire
and I know where I'm headed this time.

** NOTHING'S EVER PERFECT **
Once upon a time I had a dream
I lived the perfect life.
And in this dream I lived inside my perfect world
where everything was right.
But, when I opened up my eyes, I realized,
But, not to my surprise,
Nothing's ever perfect, and that's okay,
That's just the way it is.
I've learned appreciation for one good day,
And that's the way it is.
Once upon a time I had a dream
I found the perfect love.
And in this dream this love changed everybody?s life,
It's a love worth dreaming of.
But, when I opened up my eyes, I realized,
But, not to my surprise.
That nothing's ever perfect, and that's okay,
That's just the way it is.
But, I've learned appreciation for one good day,
And that's the way it is.
(Bridge)
No more tears to cry.
Perfect love inside.
A life worth dreaming of.
A perfect world of love.
Once upon a time I had a dream
There were no racial wars.
For the first time I was family with all mankind
And life was worth living for.
But, when I opened up my eyes, I realized,
But, not to my surprise,
Nothing's ever perfect, and that's okay,
It's just the way it is.
But, I've learned appreciation for my good days
And that's the way it is.

** DOGGONE LIFE **
Teddy and Bailey lay around all day,
without much to do or much to say.
They hump each other every chance they get.
Ain't life a bitch when you're a pet.
It's a doggone life.
Something here just ain't right.
I wanna lay around the couch all day,
and I wish I were my dogs today.
Teddy and Bailey hate the mailman,
and they try to bite him every chance they can.
They chew my mail up bit by bit,
But, it's mostly bills so I don't give a shit.
It's a doggone life,
Someday I'll get it right.
I wanna bark and scare the bills away,
and I wish I were my dogs today.
Teddy and Bailey like to play outside,
and they like to eat each day at five.
They eat and play and then take a nap.
I'd sure like to have a life like that.
It's a doggone life,
Something here just ain't right.
I wanna sleep my life away,
and I wish I were my dogs today.
What a doggone life.
Someday I'll get it right.
I wanna lay around the couch all day,
and I wish I were my dogs today.

** OLDER **
Downtown, take a look around.
Things all look the same
but, there's a different sound.
There's another world that I can't pin down
'cuz I'm older.
A changed place from the one I knew.
It's a different world with a new set of rules
of what the children can or they cannot do
'cuz I'm older.
At seventeen I knew more than I know now.
And then again, I never knew a thing somehow.
All at once, I am all grown up
and I drink the wine from a grown-up cup
and I'll be drinking life until I drink it up
'cuz I'm older.
Lost the dreams of a little child
because I spent my time growing up awhile
and the hopes and dreams are a memory
'cuz I'm older.
At thirty-three, life is not the way I planned.
Building hopes and dreams on top of sinking sand.
If I had the chance to start again
would my choices be the same as I made back then?

** IN THIS ROOM **
In this room, it's the way it used to be.
In this room, it is only you and me.
You're pulling me closer,
you tell me you love me,
but it's only make believe.
In this room, the only one is me.
In this room, you're laying right here by my side.
In this room, your love keeps me satisfied.
Your face is before me, I feel you kiss me,
but it just my fantasy.
In this room, the only one is me.
I'm all alone
and I realize your love is really gone.
Words left unspoken, hearts that are broken,
with you is where I want to be.
In this room, you're not really here with me.
In this room, you are holding me so tight.
In this room, we can love away the night.
Shadows of moonlight dancing on your face
until I wake up from my dream.
In this room, you're not really here with me.
In this room, you're not really here with me.
In this room, the only one is me.

** VERSE FOR THE CHURCH **
You sit tall in your judgement seat
pointing your finger at me,
The truth's in the Good Book,
Go read!
And, then start loving me for me;
Then start loving me.
|
** UNTIL **
Until the sky turns black and the sun forgets to shine
Until the moon and stars stop dancing in the sky
Until I find myself in you
That's how long I'll wait for you.
Until the day you tell me that you feel the same
Until your kiss starts driving me insane
Until my dreams of you have all come true
That?s how long I'll wait for you.
(chorus)
I wish I knew what you were looking for
I wish you'd tell me how you feel inside
I wish you'd show the way to win your love
What will it take to make you mine, besides time.
(chorus)
I wish I knew what you were looking for
I wish you'd tell me how you feel inside
I wish I knew the way to win your love
What will it take to make you mine, besides time.
Until the day my battle for your love is won
Until the day my walk on Mother Earth is done
Until my time for life is through
That's how long I'll wait for you.
That?s how long I?ll wait for you.
