Love Reclaimed
If life were easy to let the world fall away
If it possible to toss all aside without delay
To let go of years and rekindle love’s flame
To once again our dormant love proclaim
I’d not hesitate nor cast a glance behind
To embrace the love that was once mine
Alas, duty holds us like rooted trees
To family/friends from which we cannot flee
Committed to God to make our choices wise
We’re not free as yet, to break such weighty ties
The world shall not fall easily away
Yet, with passing time there comes a day
I’ll be with you and you with me
When both of us have been set free

What If We Fall In Love
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
All in love is fair
Young and free, so easy to care, without pain
We can laugh and we can cry
We can have it all without askin why, without chains
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love, ooh
When Im feelin all alone
Those times when love turns out all wrong, youll be there
And when you needed me you knew, we were friends
And friends will always come through, cause they care
And in our hearts, and in our own ways
We are the same, we both were afraid
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, yeah
That could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
Love is easier for some
In and out, they love on the run, without care
Should they break a heart or two
Its just a game, so easy to do, so unfair
But there comes a time when you feel so unsure, girl
But that could be more
What if we fall in love (tonight)
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love
What if we fall in love

The Next Time I Fall
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Til the moment was right, and I told myself
The next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Now, as I look into you eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love with you

I'll Never Fall In Love Again (alternate Take 5)
I've been in love so many times
I thought I knew the score
Now you've treated me so wrong
I can't take any more
And it looks like Im never gonna fall in love again
Fall in love, Im never gonna fall in love
I mean it, I mean it, fall in love again
I gave my heart so easily, cast aside my pride
When I saw you in his arms baby
I broke up and cried
And it looks like Im never gonna fall in love again
That's what I'm sayin' Fall in love, No, Im never gonna fall in love
Please don't make me fall in love again
That's why I, no, Im never gonna fall in love

No Easy Way Down
Your toy balloon has sailed
In the sky now,
But now it must fall to the ground.
Now your sad eyes reveal
Just how badly you feel.
There is no easy way down.
The view from the cliffs
Must have been exciting,
And up to the peaks,
You were bound.
Now you're stranded alone
And the past is unknown
And there is no easy way down.
And now it isn't very easy
When you find yourself on your own.
No it isn't very easy
When each boat you take,
Is one more mistake,
There's no one to break, your fall,
Lead you back home.
We all like to climb
To the hieights of love dear
We're our fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it's time to decend
That there is no easy way down.
I know it isn't very easy,
When you find yourself out on your own.
No it isn't very easy
When each road you take,
Is one more mistake,
There's no one to break,
Your fall,
And lead you back home
We all like to climb
To the heights of love dear,
Where our fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it's time to decend
That there is no easy way down.
There is no easy way down.

Hey, fairweather friend,
You know you can bend me
I dont wanna break
Hey, lend me a hand
Something I can lean on
til Im strong enough to
Make it...
cause Im lost, but Ill be lookin
Ive been hurt, but I keep on hopin
cause Im down, but I keep fallin
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you.
Take all you can find
Any way you want to
Easy as you can
Leave something behind
Love enough to live on
til Im strong enough to stand it
On my own...
But Ill be lookin
All alone--but I keep on hopin
cause Im down, but I keep fallin
Fall in love with you
Fall in love with you.......

You Make It Easy
Gosh almighty baby
Yes, indeed
You supply the satisfy and Ill supply the need
I cant help the way I feel though I know just where it leads
You make it easy ( yes, you do)
For a man to fall, for a man to fall
Heaven knows I love my woman
Just bound to fuss and fight
Now I wind up on the barroom stool
Buying drinks and keeping tight
But you know Ive never done
Whats come in my mind tonight
You make it easy just sitting there looking good
For a man to fall, for a man to fall
Now me and my wife
Weve got the rest of our life
To make this thing right
But you and me will only see tonight
So baby, wont you turn me down and point me out the door
Ill head home and sleep it off just like every time before
You keep on lookin good my way
I wont hold out anymore
You make it easy, you sure do make it easy, baby
For a man to fall, for a man to fall
You dont have to make it so easy, baby , no,no,no
For a man to fall
For a man to fall
For another wise good man to fall
You dont have to make it so easy, baby
For another wise good man to fall
You dont have to make it so easy, baby

This pride of mine
Is it my absurd pride,
Which countenanced you to take off and run?
Is it my rainbow pride,
Which made you flee to the searing sun?
I beg of you
Stop! Think twice
A little pride is better than nice.
That is a saying plausibly far from wise!
If your love could fall once more out of the sky
This pride of mine I throw out amply to the sea
I tell no lie and I speak no lies
This pride of mine, I’ll give to another for free
For years and years
I have chewed over on my pride
Crying out inside beclouded tears
Our love went down with a dingy backslide
But! But!
This pride of mine was too blind to see
Sometimes it draws out the beauty in me
Sometimes it sheds out the ugly in me
Like leaves falling off once a blossoming tree
This pride of mine
Needs to resign
This pride of mine
Isn’t sweeter than wine
But! But!
If your love could fall once more out of the sky
This pride of mine I throw out amply to the sea
I promise to be humble, humble and humble
For upon your type of love I may never stumble!

A committed man in this lagoon.
I could never imagine
And ever fall in love
And know our love
And I could ever like parting of my nation and race…..
I’ll be here ultimately for everything.
I’ll be here, to share their love and fun.
I’ll love their posture and pride
And I could never imagine a parting of this race
And this side of our great nation
And this side of our loving race
I’ll be let my heart to feel free to forget
I’ll be mad our love to each other
I’ll be need a lover - a devil
Share my bliss, share my life
I promise I will be for whom
Share my fun share my life
You said a communist
You said a committed man
Is all we committed?
Committed really embrace you!
I could never imagine
And ever fall in this love…
And know our love in this committed race,
I` ll love your posture and pride
Litany you made, a queer to me….
I` ll mad the prude thy made
The Cute smell of your words…

Loved
Loved
Written by Ricky Wilde & Terry Ronald
Take all your goodness and shiness away
I'll tell you the things I've been longing to say
I'll break it to you just so you understand
The force and control that you hold in your hands
Make me the beat of your heart
Then fall into mine
One step at a time
You have no reason for doubting your feelings
Love isn't always the same
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You I love
You
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You I love

(Ooh you are loved)
Live for the moment according to you
And so when the time comes you know what to do
Trust me, I'm giving no secret away
I'm drowning in you but I want it that way
Make me the beat of your heart
Then fall into mine
One step at a time
You have no reason for doubting your feelings
Love isn't always the same
You are loved
You are loved
You are loved
You I love

Only Love Can Break Your Heart
When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
I have a friend Ive never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out.
Try to lose the down that hes found.
But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?
I have a friend Ive never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart

Ill Never Set You Free
Theres nothing I can say
Theres nothing I can do
To show you the love
That I got for you
Theres nothing in this world
That could ever take your place
When I look into your eyes
I see a sweet face
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
Will you open up your heart
So love could make a start
I know that if you do
Dreams will come true
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
Theres nothing you can do
To stop my love for you
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)

And If I Ever
And if I ever fall in love again
Ill try to let my heart be free
Cause I know how it feels to be alone
Still trapped in old memories
And if I ever fall in love again
Ill search to find a love thats true
I need a lover who will share my life
And help make my love renewed
Im not lost Ive been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way
Chorus:
Send me someone to love and Ill be on my way
cause I need someone to love
Forever and always
And if I ever love again
I know youll be my lover and friend
And if I ever hold you in my arms
No nothing could tear us apart
And if I ever wanna hear you say
Darlin I love you to me everyday
The only way to know our love is right
It must pass the test of time
Chorus
Im not lost Ive been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way

And if I ever fall in love

The Working Bird
'Mr. Fix It' and 'Mrs. Break It',
You can fool some people for some time;
And you are like the mocking bird under the rain;
But my love is like the mighty diamond of the world.
Love and affection,
I am coming back for you!
For when it is cold outside your love,
It is then very hot inside me.
Why stay outdoors in the cold to make love?
For you are yet to know yourselves and my love;
So tell it like it is and,
Let the roses of love be seen in your eyes all day.
'Mr. Fix It' and 'Mrs. Break It',
Love created you and i!
And i will watch my back in the night,
For what i'm living ofr is very close to me.
Guns and ammunition,
Police and thieves;
I feel free in this world without hatred,
And i will always pray for the rain to fall on us.
Soldiers and news,
And of the quintessential techniques of life;
Call me 'Mr. Fix It' and 'Mrs. Break It' to be here,
For the working bird is fast asleep.

Plighted
Mine to the core of the heart, my beauty!
Mine, all mine, and for love, not duty:
Love given willingly, full and free,
Love for love's sake, - as mine to thee.
Duty's a slave that keeps the keys,
But Love, the master, goes in and out
Of his goodly chambers with song and shout,
Just as he please, - just as he please.
Mine, from the dear head's crown, brown-golden,
To the silken foot that's scarce beholden;
Give to a few friends hand or smile,
Like a generous lady, now and awhile,
But the sanctuary heart, that none dare win,
Keep holiest of holiest evermore;
The crowd in the aisles may watch the door,
The high-priest only enters in.
Mine, my own, without doubts or terrors,
With all thy goodnesses, all thy errors,
Unto me and to me alone revealed,
'A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.'
Many may praise thee, - praise mine as thine,
Many may love thee, - I'll love them too;
But thy heart of hearts, pure, faithful, and true,
Must be mine, mine wholly, and only mine.
Mine! - God, I thank Thee that Thou hast given
Something all mine on this side heaven:
Something as much myself to be
As this my soul which I lift to Thee:
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone,
Life of my life, whom Thou dost make
Two to the world for the world's work's sake, -
But each unto each, as in Thy sight, one.
