Our Last Farewell
It's a rainy day in Glasgow
And I'm looking out the window here
Into your tears of sadness
When the curtain fell between us
In The Sheuchan Arms I saw you
Grey blue flames alive in gentle eyes
And saw us in the distance
In the war of lips and sighing
(chorus)
Our dancing days were over then
And our lips would never touch again
Irene, you'll never hold me like
You did through all those long gone nights
Through that autumn breathless whispers
flared between us in the gloamin' heat
My back against that jagged fence
As your neighbours passed us in the street
Now the chords of Southern Man crash
Through the bars of time to thoughts of you
So close upon the teeming floor
As we danced through fire at the Port
(chorus)
Our dancing days are over then
And our lips can never touch again
Irene, I'll never hold you like
I did through all those long gone nights
But confusing times brought changes
Blown in on the freezing new year's breeze
And streaming tears, our last farewell
By the red brick wall where young love fell
I'm so glad true love found you dear
Although life had cost you, as it does,
But I remember fondly still
Those flames and sighs when we were young

At Seventeen
I remember you when you were only seventeen
the sun was high above us then
and all the fields were green
and dressed in grey and white
the world was at your feet
but you'd no time for fame or lights
you were myth made real
and every part of me believed
I remember dancing in your arms at Christmas time
the local band played Maggie May;
the world was out of sight
and you were harmony
in every move you made
and I was just a teenage fool
with sense enough to pray
that I might spend some time with you
(chorus)
And now you've crossed the great divide
Your pain is gone, at such a price
And I will think of you, in grey and white,
I will think of you on autumn nights
I will think of you at Christmas time
And I'll think of when your lips touched mine
And I'll remember you at seventeen
When the sun was high
and all the fields were green
I remember you outside the gym when we were young
your eyes were full of sunshine,
there was passion on your tongue
I didn't have the words
to tell you how I felt
but still you took my hand, and walked
where love rose and fell
and I'll remember when we touched
And now you've crossed the great divide
Your pain is gone, at such a price
And I will think of you, in grey and white,
I will think of you on autumn nights
I will think of you at Christmas time
And I'll think of when your lips touched mine
And I'll remember you at seventeen
When the sun was high
and all the fields were green

I Remember Love
(graham russell, michael sherwood)
Ive been staring at the floor
And Ive been holding back the tears
And Id been talking to the walls
If the walls had ears
And now it seems that every time
I look into your eyes
There is only so far I can see
(chorus)
So take me back there
Where only we can go
When you touch me the memories unfold
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?
Ive been looking to the future
And Ive been dreaming of our past
But now Im counting on this moment
cause it may be the last
And days go by and still I try
To reach into your soul
There is only so far I can go
(chorus)
Remember the times when our world was alive
And all of the answers were clear
Remember the times when our souls would ignite
And passion explodes into tears
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

When I Was A Young Girl
(A Song of Old Ballads)
WHEN I was a young girl, all in a green arbor,
When I was a young girl in Springtimes gone by
All the long days I went singing and smiling,
Down by the roses the sweet days beguiling,
Love in the arbor and love in the sky . . .
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, how happy was I!
Oh, the long days I must sit at my sampler,
Oh, the slow way that the still time would go!
I longed to be running across the bright heather,
'Off with the silk gown and on with the leather,
Following the raggle-taggle gypsies, oh!'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, a long time ago!
When I was a young girl in days that were golden,
When I was a young girl, and life had no smart,
All the world seemed a place for my playing,
Full of great lovers to come to me, saying,
'Madam, I give you the keys of my heart . . .'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, and dreaming apart!
When I was a young girl, I dreamed of my lover,
A tall cavalier who should whisper me low,
'Love, on your lips are red roses a-blowing,
I am your true love, and fast is time going
Am I your true love? Oh, say yes or no!'
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl–
When I was a young girl, a long time ago!
When I was a young girl there came my true lover,
Swiftly I knew him in glad days gone by;
Never a sword or a lovelock or feather,
But oh, at his touch 'twas our hearts came together,
Love in the arbor and love in the sky . . .
When I was a young girl, a young girl, a young girl,
When I was a young girl, how happy was I!

Everytime You Touch Her
(pam rose, pat bunch, mary ann kennedy)
Do you hold her all night long?
Do you sing her our love song?
Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak?
Oh darlin
Do you promise her the moon?
Does she think loves coming soon?
Does she know each move is made from memory?
Oh darlin
Everytime you touch her (every time)
Everytime you touch her
Think of me.
When she reaches out for you ,
The same way my arms do,
Does she know the truth your love belongs to me?
Oh baby
Do you wonder in the dark if she sees into your heart?
Do you close your eyes so she will never see?
Oh baby!
Everytime you touch her ,
(every time)
Everytime you touch her.
Think of me.
Nights were never made to spend alone.
I can wish you love,
But I cant wish you gone.
Do you hold her all night long?
Do you sing her our love song?
Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak?
Oh darlin
Everytime you touch her
(every time)
Everytime you touch her
Think of me.

Until I Find You Again
Lately Ive been trying
To fill up my days since youre gone
The speed of love is blinding
And I dont know how to hold on
My mind wont clear
Im out of tears
My hearts got no room left inside
Chorus
How many dreams will end
How long can I pretend
How many times will love pass me by
Until I find you again
Will the arms of hope surround me
Will time be a fair weather friend
Should I call out to angels
Or just drink myself sober again
I cant hide its true
I still burn for you
Your memory just wont let me go
Chorus
Id hold you tighter
Closer than ever before
No flame would burn brighter
If I could touch you once more.
Hold you once more

Shelter From The Rain
When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night wed spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember
We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die
When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on
Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights wed spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember
When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
Wed melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
Wed burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins
When our hearts were young ...

Remember The Time
Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember
Back in the fall
Wed be together
All day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each others eyes
Wed stare
(tell me)
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk
(ya know)
Wed stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
Ill never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
Theyll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Remember the times
Ooh
Remember the times
Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl
Remember the times
Do you. do you, do you,
Do you, do you
Remember the times
In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in spain
Remember the times
What about, what about...
Remember the times
Ooh... in the park
Remember the times
After dark..., do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Yeah yeah

A Woman's Farewell
SO with this farewell kiss I taste at last
The all of life; the Future and the Past
Upon your dear lips dwell.
Love will not come again, though I implore;
And in my heart a twilight evermore—
Farewell!
A man's heart is so wide that I was wrong
To dream that I could fill it with the song
A woman loves so well;
A woman's heart is narrow, but I filled
Mine brimming with your kisses—none was spilled—
Farewell!
So fierce your love was, I was half-afraid.
The roses blossom and the roses fade;
The withered petals tell!
So high into your heart you lifted me,
So far I have to fall, since it must be
Farewell!
Now all the world I fashioned round me falls;
And from the past one memory calls and calls,
Grieving, and like a knell;
Now all the days like drear regrets shall seem,
And all the nights—the nights! ..I dare not dream!
Farewell!
But what if I can hold you, hold you yet
Till all else but my lips you must forget:
If love could but compel!
But all the mystic hopes our hearts have heard
Must droop and wither to this wistful word—
Farewell!
My love was like a little child to me;
Now in my heart 't is crying piteously—
Hush, dear! all will be well!
My lips on yours for ever! Say again
You love me—though it be not true—and then—
Farewell!

Waiting For Tonight[Hexs Momentous Radio Mix]
Like a movie scene,
In the sweetest dreams,
I have pictured us together,
Now to feel your lips,
On my fingertips, have to say is even better.
Then I ever thought it could possibly be,
Its perfect, its passion, its setting me free
From all of my sadness,
The tears that Ive cried,
I have spent all of my life...
Waiting for tonight, oh,
When you would be here in my arms.
Waiting for tonight, oh,
Ive dreamed of this love for so long.
Waiting for tonight.
Tender words you say, take my breath away,
Love me now and leave me never.
Found a sacred place, lost in your embrace,
I want to stay in this forever.
I think of the days when the sun used to set,
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed,
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong,
I knew I had to hold on...
Chorus
Gone are the days when the sun used to set,
On my empty heart all alone in my bed.
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong,
I knew I had to hold on...

Hold Me
If my hearts not too late
For a piece of your heart
Theres been so many days
Since your eyes looked at mine.
In the dark of this room
Where the burning has grown
You believe in your love
When youre lost and alone.
And life dont give no reasons
When the love goes away
No answers for someone like you.
Chorus:
Hold me, hold me
Seems like we never get together anymore
Hold me, hold me
Starry nights dont come enough
Thats what we come here for, hold me.
I will lay by your side
I can warm your cold nights
You can play in my dreams
Til Im out of your sight.
In the morning my love
Couldnt change where you go
You were always my woman
Its the one truth I know.
So hold out, when theres no chance
For your love anyway
No diamond could shine close to you.
Chorus:
Hold me, hold me
Seems like we never get together anymore
Hold me, hold me
Starry nights dont come enough
Thats what we come here for, hold me...

Spanish Eyes
I met a girl at the carnival
In Rio De Janeiro
We danced all night on the boulevard
In doorways we did the tango
I miss her lips
And the way she sashayed her hips
As she shook her shoulders
I miss the smell of her hair
I don't care if it takes my whole life
CHORUS
We were dancing in the summer rain
We were dancing through the night
She never said her real name
So I called her Spanish Eyes
Spanish Eyes...
The sun came up
And the girl was gone
Her masquerade was over
I searched the streets
Drunk with love
But no one seemed to know her
I miss the touch
Of her body so much
I long for the warmth inside her
Somewhere in time she will come back to me
And I'll spend my whole life beside her

Can't Take My Eyes Off You
You're just too good to be true
can't keep my eyes off you
you'd feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
at long last love has arrived
and I thank God I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
there's nothing else to compare
the sight of you makes me weak
there are no words left to speak
but if you feel like I feel
please let me know that it's real
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you
chorus:
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
oh pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray
oh pretty baby, now that I've found you, stay
and let me love you, baby, let me love you...
You're just too good to be true
can't keep my eyes off of you
you'd feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
at long last love has arrived
and I thank god I'm alive
you're just too good to be true
can't take my eyes off of you

From A Distance
(alan jackson/randy travis)
Just another bar
With loud guitars
Smoke and candles burning low
And the same ol boys
Their backs to the bar
Staring across a crowded floor
Then I hear a familiar sound
Your voice laughing out loud
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I cant hold you like I want to
But I can love you from a distance
So I take a chair
In a corner somewhere
You cant see me
But I can look at you
And I remember those times
When I looked in your eyes
The way that he now looks at you
Deep down I know its over
But it hurts me when hes so much closer
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I cant hold you like I want to
But I can love you from a distance
And if I cant hold you near me
Ill just hold onto your memory
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I cant hold you like I want to
But I can love you from a distance
Ill always love you from a distance

Perfect Goodbye
Do you see me ~ do I see you
And all the footprints we left in this room
A smile in the hall ~ framed on the wall
Do we way words that rise and fall like the circles of blue
Shoes on the floor ~ they're intertwined
Just like the touch we left behind
Walk through the door and say no more
Say no more easy alibis to put out the fire
(chorus)
It's the perfect goodbye
No time no tell ~ as from your lips the words that never fell
It's a simple farewell
No fight no flight ~ no live no die
No me no cry cry cry cry
No me no cry
Hang up the phone ~ I should have known
Better alone that killing time with fake valentines
(chorus)
I'll see you sometime ~ once in awhile
No partners in crime ~ just a face in the file

Without You
It has been
six days
since I have seen her.
In all that time
she left me
totally totally alone.
Not a word
not a call
not a touch
not a sight of her.
How does she go
and leave me so
easily like this?
How is it that she
does not need to see
me by tormented day?
How is it that she
does not need to sleep
beside me during
long lonely nights?
Her naked body
under the sheets
cannot hold me
at a distance.
Her skin
cannot feel
the healing massage
of my caring hand.
Nor can
an empty bed
hold reassuring comfort
of her touch.
Nights
I lay awake
at nights
without you.
Nights
are lonely
and long
without you.
Life
is an empty night
alone wasted
without you.
