Half-life
This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all,
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile
But its just not from the heart,
Im wrong for the part --
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances
And go on believin, though deep in my heart I dream
Of brakin away
*are we all livin a half-life,
No point of dimension,
Trying to find our way,
Do we search in the dark,
You and i, livin a half-life,
Beyond our pretension,
Were much the same
We search for the spark*
Behind the smoke screen around me,
There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine --
Were only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme
And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances
And go on believin, though deep in our hearts we dream
Of breakin the chains
(* repeat)
And I work like a dog to get even,
Take my chances and go on believin
Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin away,
(* repeat)

Breakin Up Is Breakin My Heart
Roy orbison
I wonder why you threw your diary away
When you walk by I nearly died what can I say
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
Now were apart ,breakin up is breakin my heart
I find myself alone at night and then I cry
No tenderness my happiness just said goodbye
Now youre gone, Im alone I wonder why we had to part
Breakin up is breakin my heart, baby
Breakin up is breakin my heart
The love affair we used to share is cold and still
I loved you then I love you now I always will
The day that you found someone new
My lonely world just fell apart
Out of your arms drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up is breakin my heart
Baby, breaking up is breakin my heart
Breakin up is breakin my heart
Breakin up is breakin my heart

True To Your Heart (feat. Stevie Wonder)
Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know that I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure, why fight the tide
Don't think so much, let your heart decide
Baby, I see your future and it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall, 'Til you let go
Don't be scared, of what you don't know
Chorus
True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
(Got to be true to your heart)
Someone you know is on your side can set you free
I can do that for you if you believe in me
Why second-guess, what feels so right
Just trust your heart, and you'll see the light
Chorus
(Ya know it's true) Your heart knows what's good for you
(Good for you) Let your heart show you the way
(Ya know it's true) It'll see you through
(Got to be true to your heart)
Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are
Well, you can take both hands off the wheel and still get far
Be swept away, enjoy the ride
You won't get lost
With your heart to guide you.
Chorus (2times)
When things are gettin' crazy (crazy)
And you don't know where to start (to start)
Keep on believin', baby (baby)
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you (baby)
It seems to fall apart (apart)
Keep on believin', baby (baby)
Just be true to your heart
(Got to be true to your heart)

Five days out of seven
Eight hours of every one
Im tryin to buy a piece of heaven
But Ill be gone
Before that heaven comes
Work, work, work
Who nees it?
Its all I ever seem to do
Im killin myself for a livin
Livin the workin mans blues
Minute to minute
Day after day
Wherever I go its always the same
I work a little longer
To make up my pay
But when the cheque comes along
Theyve taken half of it away
All the work, work, work
Who nees it?
All I ever seem to do
You know Im killin myself for a livin
I should be stayin at home with you
City to city
All over the world
Wherever I been to -- thats all I ever heard
You work a little longer
To double up on that pay
When the taxman comes along
They take half of it away
Work, work, work
Who nees it?
Its all I ever seem to do
Im killin, killin time for a livin
Livin the workin mans blues
Yeah, its all work! work! work! work!
Thats all it is
Killin myself for a livin
Like drivin a nail straight into my hand
Ive been workin my life away

I Just Cant Help Believin
(words & music by b.j. thomas)
I just cant help believin
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
I just cant help believin
When shes lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
Oh, I just cant help believin
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
As my fingers fold around it like a glove
I just cant help believin
When shes whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
For more than just a day

Deep In The Heart
Angel, everythings gonna be alright
Angel, everythings gonna work out tonight
Thirteen years old, sweet as rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you mine
Creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel...its sink or swim
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed to shut out the light
Green as the leaves
And the cure of the meadow stain
Do your work, itll work out right
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
The scent of cedar, I can still see her
You cant return to the place you never left
Angel, well make it work out tonight
Angel, I wanna be home tonight
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed, they shut out the light
Green as the leaves
And the cure of the meadow stain
I do my work, and youll work out right
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place...

Baby, You're Right
Well maybe lately I've been
Acting a little bit strange
And maybe there's a few things
I need to explain
So what if I call you at work for now reason
And I sent you those flowers today
So what if my friends tell me
They never see me
And everyone's sayin' I've changed
If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment
I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right
Somehow, somewhere I went and crossed
Over the line
And I let you see the man
That was hiding inside
It's highly irregular, I must confess
No this usually isn't my style
Oh I know my heart's beatin' out of my chest
And I just can't do nothin' but smile
If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment
I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're so wrong if you think
That you're holdin' on just a little too tight
But, if you're believin' that
I'm never leavin' you
Baby, you're right
If you think I always think about you
And I dream about you day and night
If you think for a moment
I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
If you think that I'm hopeless without you
There's no way I can put up a fight
If you think for a moment
I can't live without you
And maybe I've fallen in love with you
Baby, you're right
Baby, you're right

Have A Happy
(words & music by weisman - kaye - fuller)
Now once it was told to me
Were born with a magic key
It opens the door to miracles of spring
It takes you to wishing wells
To ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key wont unlock a thing
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin, in believin
Let your address, be sunshine place
Theres love and theres joy Im told
Much more than your heart can hold
Its there like the ring you would grab
On a merry-go-round
The world isnt half as gray
With friends on a rainy day
But people keep away, when you wear a frown
Unless you have a happy, ya have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
I start believin, in believin
Let your address, be sunshine place
Let your address, be sunshine place
Let your address... be sunshine place

He's got a pain in his heart he feels like crying
So lonesome for love he feels like dying

He's the world's world's greatest
At the work that he does
When he moves on down the line

Dont Stop Believin
(john farrar)
You think the world should see things your way
Love, I know you, you think good fortunes here to stay
Love, I know you shined in everything you tried before
Your smile can open any door
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Dont stop believin, dont stop believin
Dont stop believin, youll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by
You never chase your dreams, they find you
Love, I know you, if you need love, it finds you too
Love, although you sail alone and free
Ill follow in your wake
And pray one day my heart youll take
But on those days when nobody wants to know you
And all your smiles keep falling on stoney ground
Dont stop believin, dont stop believin
Dont stop believin, youll get by
Bad days, bad days will hurry by

i'm dreaming, i'm dreaming
verse 1:

holding the hand of a stranger

so i fall in love with someone i just met
still so very different from the men i've been with
so hard to get so close to

but i'll dream, i'll drem about it
breakin'down these four walls
and entering his heart
so i'll dream, i'll dream about it
doing the impossible
and entering his heart, his heart
verse 2:
well i don't doubt this
more than willing to try
sacrifice things forever
but you feel it ain't right
so you've been hurt once

or were you pcked on thru life
given as much as i can give

but i'll dream, i'll dream about it
breaking down these four walls

seems to be so pointless that i stay

All The Love In The World
In your eyes I see only one
Find me the to place to run
Thats where I belong
There we rise ,your glory and mine
Your pain is over now
I make you shine , still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger , I am what you make me
All the love in the world wont take you away from me
In all my wonder I forever lay down here with you
I find when love slips away
Reach out for all you can
Before its too late
There you fly , returning to me
Out of your darkest nights I stand alone
Still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you
(break)
My love is true
All your darkest nights ,i stand alone
Still believin
All the love in the world wont take me away from you
My love is stronger , I forever lay down here with you

Once Again
How could you do this to me! ?
You told me you did it to make her happy,
Well just know while you were making her smile,
You were making me cry. You hurt me so much that my heart is half broken.
Excuse after excuse..
I've heard them all.
You say you love me with all your heart..more then anything else in the world...
Well, you must be wrong.
If you loved me that much you wouldn't even thought of doing what you did.
I know plenty of guys that would NOT even dream of doing that.
Know why? ..
Because they are in love with their girlfriend. And only want that one girl, wants to make them happy...only them, not some other girl.
So there, I guess you don't love me as much as you thought you did.
This is IT! I mean it. I've given you many chances, and I'm getting so tired of everything.
Smarten up for once or I'm gone..forever.
You made me feel sooo stupid. Everyone saw that..I don't want people thinking I'm one of those girls that stay around no matter what. I'm NOT gonna let you use me.
You tell me over and over I deserve the very best...yet you do this to me? ! ? !
Why? I don't understand..
Maybe you're right, maybe I do deserve better. Please prove me wrong. Please don't make me regret this many of chances I have given you.

The Chances Of Winning
life is like a game, you lost and you win
losing is winning where it fall and
winning is losing where it stand
all the day through, you gain, but nothing
has been done
what makes it defferent, when everything
is nothing and what makes it something
when everthing is nothing
life is just, but a game to play... make the
best for it, for you win for something, that
will make you something out of nothing
many years have gone, yet! it seems
that those are just a dream, a dream that
i stand for none and end with gone
i now live for something, that the only chances
I'll make, will leads me to do something
the best of the game, i have to stand for my
chances of winning is something out of nothing
winning is a matter of chances of nothing.....
just do it... right

Love Will Find Its Way To You
(dave loggins, j.d. martin)
Another morning, another day in your life
Without someone there by you.
You had a dream again last night.
You wonder why the dream just wont come true.
So what ya gonna do.
Walk around with your head hung down.
Maybe thats the reason youve never found the one for you,
So youve got to let your love shine through you eyes, your smile.
Youve got to let somebody know how you feel inside your heart.
Youll find, somebody wants to be a part of your life.
And if you just believe and say thats what youre
Gonna do, one day love will find its way to you.
Yes it will. one day love will find its way to you.
Another party, and all your friends are smiles.
Oh you might meet someone new.
And being close would be so nice.
In this life the chances are so few.

So Strange

My dream fades in the darkness
Somewhere in the rain
Wind-blown
Island alone on a sea of pain
So deep, so blue, so strange
Will your face forever haunt me?
Will your heart ever want me?
Can I ever hope that you might reach out to me?
cos Ive been believin
My fears were in vain
And I have to tell you
Im in a sea of pain
So deep, so blue, so strange
