1. JUST AS I AM

I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me

And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am


2. I CAN'T LET GO

I have the ring that needs your finger
I want you always to remember
Oh Oh, I want you to be a part of my dreams
I was so lonely here without you
I was so cold just like a statue
Oh Oh, Being with you has made me complete

I can feel your loving touch inside me
I can hear you whispering you wanna stay close to me

Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Every day and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
You're a part of me, don't you know

Would you give me just a lifetime
I'II stand beside you through the years that come and go
Nothing at all could stand in our way

I can feel your answer deep inside me
I can hear you whispering you wanna stay close to me

Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Every day and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let to
You're a part of me, don't you know


3. THE POWER OF LOVE

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'Bout the power of love


4. MAKE IT RIGHT

I want you to brighten the days of my life
I want you and I all alone to be together at night

I can't stand it
The feeling when you're far away
I want to wrap you up in my little world
So you'll be here today

When we fly through the night
Can't you feel the rush of 1,000 dancers
Come into your life
I'll be there to make it right

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

I want you to put your trust in me
Say goodbye to all your heartaches as fast as you can
I need you to surrender to me all your body and soul
And the spirit we seek will enter us both and make us complete

When we fly through the night
And it feels like heaven's wings we're riding
You've got to hold on tight
If you feel like I do
Knowing nothing can go wrong between us
I'll be there to make it right, make it right

Know me, show me
All your love
You're here today
You know you're here always
You know I can't get enough
You know I can't get enough

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right


5. I WANNA HOLD YOU TONIGHT

Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say:
It's not too late to tell you,
I know I wanna tell you

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone
Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I wanna hold you closer

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

I only wish my heart
Could fly like it does
When I sit and dream
I'll never wake again
As I hold you tenderly
My thoughts were real
And being with you now is the only
thought that's strong,
It's a lonely night, and I'm trying
To hold on...

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling


6. BLACK AND BLUE

Blue, blue is the color of skies
Blue is the color of your eyes
Your beautiful blue eyes
Black, black is the color you wore
Black is the promise you made before you closed
The door
And never told me why

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

You, you used to sleep by my side
You swore you had nothing to hide
And now there's nothing left to lose

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Down in the depths of your soul
I hear the echo and the sigh that your secrets
Can not hide
They never lie to me

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Broken in two because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away having me all black and blue.


7. WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT

When the time is right
I will come back for you
To hold you through the night
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Why can't we learn how to love and let go
One more time

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Don't you feel the heat of the night deep inside,
Oh Jane

When the time is right
And you reach out for me
I'll run back to your side
Just where I used to be, Oh Jane

You can take the pain away
Say we'll be together once more
Please open the door, Oh Jane

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Will we ever learn how to love
Learn how to love and let go

When the time is right
I will come back for you
With arms to hold you tight
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Because I believe the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Tell me if you want me to go
I'll leave you alone, Oh Jane.

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Can't you feel the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Why can't we learn how to love,
Learn how to love and let go.


8. SANDY

Sandy, the fireworkds are hailin' over little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoney faces left stranded
On this warm July

And the boys from the casino dance with shirts open
Like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, my, my, my baby.

Sandy, the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself
On fire for me, anymore
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For telling fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life is through
You outta quit this scene, too

Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, my, my, my baby.

Oh I mean it Sandy girl
Oh, my, my, my baby,
Oh I love you Sandy girl,
My, my, my baby...


9. GREAT PIONEER

It happened long ago
When I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dreampt of summer love
And moving high up north
But no one would go
So I walked up the hill and lay there
Imagining the day was near
I know I want to stay there
And be a great pioneer

I made a promise then
That I'd find a place
Where my world won't end
Give me a piece of land
That will be my life
That I will defend
If I work really hard
I will surely survive
I know my virtue is strong
No one could oppose a spirit so raw
To be a part of the state
To be known as a great pioneer
I keep the fires burning
To let you know I'm free
My heart will always be yearning

To be, a part of the state
To be, a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer

And if it all should end
And I hear the call
From the great unknown
I'll need to go my way
Let me have my day
Let me be alone

I was dreaming here and lay there
Knowing that my time is here
I know I wanna stay there

To be, a part of the state
To be, a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer


10. SUNSET

Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time, the day is too end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again

But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you

Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do.

Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call
But now to lose your love
The charm throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone

I have memories enough
To help me find my way
To bring back all the love we've known


11. AFTER ALL

Night-
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans

You-
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
'Cause you finally understand

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

We-
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right

You didn't know-
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

We were young
And your dreams took you places far from me
I was wrong
To believe
That you'd go
'Cause here you are

That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all


12. NEVER FADE AWAY

Walking along the boulevard
Speaking into the air
Where can I find the life
I know that only dreams can share
I close my eyes and see you there
Calling me far beyond
Wrapped in a robe of mystery
You wave your magic wand

Maybe it's real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not love, all my dreams are your home
I stare thru a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps, as you
Cast off my fear

Walk with me thru the gates of time, to eternity
And our love, will never fade away

We can fly to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

Walking along the boulevard
Wishing we were complete
Why are some things so very hard to witness and believe

The victor of this universe
The victim of the wind
Where does a dream begin and end
And where does life begin

Maybe it's real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not love, all my dreams are your home
I stare thru a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps, as you
Cast off my fear

Walk with me thru the gates of time, to eternity
And our love, will never fade away

We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away
