Cycles
So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings.
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'
And even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true.
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
First there's laughter

Runnin
One affair wont make a lover,
Kisses never meant that you were givin up your soul.
I want to taste the spice of another,
I wanna taste my life, so, I remember when Im old.
Why Im ...
Im runnin through my lifetime,
You can see it your way and Ill see it mine.
Im runnin through my lifetime,
Ive got to stay out in the race so I dont go out of my mind.
Hunger in the eyes of the teacher,
Today he wants to feel the things his mamma made him hide.
Now its comin out all over that old preacher,
Livin never meant no more than waitin til he dies.
So Im ...
Im runnin through my lifetime,
Im runnin fast, I wont get far behind.
Im runnin through my lifetime,
Ive got to stay out in the race so I dont go out of my mind.
Beware! beware!
Im a friend to those who share me and Im a threat to those who dare me.
Beware! beware!
I can help if you need me and I can run if you try to keep me.
Im runnin through my lifetime,
You can see it your way and Ill see it mine.
Im runnin through my lifetime,
Ive got to stay out in the race so I dont know go out of my mind.
Im runnin, Im runnin, runnin, runnin.
Runnin.

Runnin.
Runnin.
... kisses never meant that I would give you my soul.
Runnin.

Why Go?
Don't go
I didn't know you'd be here, and i wasn't meant to come.
I'd be sitting watching tv if there was anything decent on,
If i'd missed the taxi or found nothing good to wear.
But for some uncertain reason, some strange uncertain reason,
This is how it all it all began.
(why go?) why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
(why go?) why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
If i made some coffee, would you sit and talk some more?
I know words are usually pointless when you've used them all before.
The way your smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. kick off your shoes. don't go. please stay. --
It always happened this way.
(why go?) why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
(why go?) why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
The way your smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. what's there to lose? --
The way you laugh, when i say, don't go. please stay.
Why go? why go, when you could stay awhile?
Why go? why go, when you could stay awhile,
When you could stay with me tonight?
Tonight?

Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you think of me
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As I am in your dreams
Keep me in your heart for awhile
While you say goodbye
Keep me in your heart for awhile
One more time say I love you
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As you watch the seasons change
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Living like there is no tomorrow
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As you tell stories about me
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Remember all the times I took your breath away
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As you sleep I am lying next to you
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you cry a tear for me
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As I watch over you
Being your Guardian Angel
Keep me in your heart for awhile
As you love me like I will always love you
Keep me in your heart for awhile

Lovin' Livin' And Givin'
My love was in a storm
The bitter wind was blowin' around me
I'd sit and cry but
By and by it just faded away
Rainbow, painted skies,
Brought a smile into my eyes
The scent of flowers filled the air
I turned around and you were there
Hey, you made me see
That love is the key
To make the sun shine
For me
Ooh, Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Ooh ooh, since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
One kiss is worth a thousand sighing words
When you're lonely
I saw you smile
It was warm
Now I see beyond the storm
Clouds are fading fast
There goes the sad and bitter past
You touched my life
When no one cared
You did the things that no one dared
You've opened doors
You've made me see
That love is the key
To make the sun shine
For me
Ooh, Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again

Waiting For Spring
Though cloudy skies, and northern blasts,
Retard the gentle spring awhile;
The sun will conqu'ror prove at last,
And nature wear a vernal smile.
The promise, which from age to age,
Has brought the changing seasons round;
Again shall calm the winter's rage,
Perfume the air, and paint the ground.
The virtue of that first command,
I know still does, and will prevail;
That while the earth itself shall stand,
The spring and summer shall not fail.
Such changes are for us decreed;
Believers have their winters too;
But spring shall certainly succeed,
And all their former life renew.
Winter and spring have each their use,
And each, in turn, his people know;
One kills the weeds their hearts produce,
The other makes their graces grow.
Though like dead trees awhile they seem,
Yet having life within their root,
The welcome spring's reviving beam
Draws forth their blossoms, leaves, and fruit.
But if the tree indeed be dead,
It feels no change, though spring return,
Its leafless naked, barren head,
Proclaims it only fit to burn.
Dear Lord, afford our souls a spring,
Thou know'st our winter has been long;
Shine forth, and warm our hearts to sing,
And thy rich grace shall be our song.

Undertow
The curtains are drawn
Now the fire warms the room.
Meanwhile outside
Wind from the north-east chills the air,
It will soon be snowing out there.
And some there are
Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night.
Maybe this will be their last fight.
But were safe in each others embrace,
All fears go out as I look on your face -
Better think awhile
Or I may never think again.
If this were the last day of your life, my friend,
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,
Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the dangers past, I need not fear the icy blast again.
Laughter, music and perfume linger here
And there, and there,
Wine flows from flask to glass and mouth,
As it soothes, confusing our doubts.
And soon we feel,
Why do a single thing to-day,
Theres tomorrow sure as Im here.
So the days they turn into years
And still no tomorrow appears.
Better think awhile
Or I may never think again.
If this were the last day of your life, my friend,
Tell me, what do you think you would do then?
Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you,
Make the most of all you still have coming to you, [or]
Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you,
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven finally on your knees
Let me live again, let life come find me wanting.
Spring must strike again against the shield of winter.
Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me,
Telling me the dangers past, I need not fear the icy blast again.

Time Is Runnin
Words and music by rick nielsen
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help all my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Here comes the night
Gone are the days yeah
When we could just sit here and talk for hours
Didnt have much to say
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Now everything seems so serious
We all had our fun in the sun
We all wanna take too much out of life
Fooling ourselves in the long run
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
Help my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true
Tryin to beat the clock
It never stops tickin the time away
Tryin to beat the clock it
Never stops, never stops night or day
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
And my dreams come true
Time is runnin out of control, ooh
You make my dreams come true

Stay For A While
Long time since Ive seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was i,
Young and tender.
Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed wed never forget.
Now its hazy.
Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.
Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Stay....
(please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.
Stay for awhile.
Oh, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Wont you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Cinderella, stay awhile
Youre the one
That Ive been lookin for
Cinderella, when you smile
All around me sunbeams
Start to fall
Midnight is so near
Please dont disappear
Now that you are here
Stay awhile

When you speak the angels all sing
This is the kind of magic you bring, oh

Life and I play beneath the midnight sun
Life and I play beneath the morning moon

Sara Smile
Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me, and we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
And when I feel like I can't go on you come and hold me
It's you and me forever
Sara smile (smile)
Why don't you smile awhile for me
Sara
If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow
If you wanna be free, you know
All you got to do is say so
When you feel cold I warm you
And when you feel you can't go on I'll come and hold you
It's you and me forever

Isn't It Better That Way?
How many years have I been given?
Nobody knows. I keep on livin'.
Life's my adventure day by day.
I don't know how long I will stay.
and isn't it better that way?
How many days have I been given?
How can I tell? I just keep livin'.
Life's inhalation, so I breathe
uncertain of what I will bequeath.
Life is uncertain, no guarantees.
It's one of life's intriuging mysteries.
and isn't better that way?
How many seconds have I been given?
Are there some left to keep on livin'?
Life goes so quick that when you look back
to your first little breath from that quick little smack.
so to me it's better that way.

Fold It All Away
The fire, the heat, the hungry daze -
I will fold it all away.
Like clothes just meant for summer days
It’s winter now - cold here to stay
You made my heart soar and leap
And now my heart will go to sleep
Like clothes just meant for summer days
It’s winter now - cold here to stay
All desire in me is gone -
Another’s touch would just feel wrong
Like clothes just meant for summer days
It’s winter now - cold here to stay
Your smile’s engraved inside my head,
The view of you, touching foreheads
Like clothes just meant for summer days
It’s winter now - cold here to stay
A kiss that made my heart melt,
Feelings I had never felt
Like clothes just meant for summer days
It’s winter now - cold here to stay
I loved to hear your laughter most
But now the sound will be a ghost
Like clothes just meant for summer days
I will fold it all away
Such warmth and love can never stay
I will fold
It all
Away
Higher than I’ve ever been
The fall is here - let it begin
But I will rise again someday
The cold and winter cannot stay
For now that day seems far away
Like clothes just meant for summer days
And I will fold
Every piece
Away
It’s winter now
The cold
Will stay
Once Upon A Life
(roman cruz, jr./ryan cayabyab)
Once upon a life
We said wed separate for a while
You would live a different life
And I a different style
We broke the bond that made us one
And when that foolish deed was done
I lost you, you lost me
And we asked what we had won
Once upon a life
There was no you, there was no me
For you and I were one
As we were really meant to be
Once upon a life
We sought tomorrow, thats today
And we are one again
And thats the way well always stay
We broke the bond that made us one
And when that foolish deed was done
I lost you, you lost me
And we asked what we had won
Once upon a life
There was no you, there was no me
For you and I were one
As we were really meant to be
Once upon a life
We sought tomorrow, thats today
And we are one again
And thats the way well always stay
And we are one again
And thats the way well always stay
