I Close My Eyes & Count To Ten
(clive westlake)
It isnt the way that you look
And it isnt the way that you talk
It isnt the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music thats flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
Youre the someone I dreamed I would find
Its the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Its a feeling so unreal
Somehow I cant believe its true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that well never part
I cant believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here
I close my eyes and count again
I cant believe it but youre still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I dont know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I cant believe its true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here
I close my eyes and count again
I cant believe it but youre still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them youre still here

When I Close My Eyes
(mark alan springer/nettie musick)
Theres so many things
I didnt say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car I meet
Looks like your car
Every movie I see
You play the leading part
Youre on my mind
Cant leave you behind
When I close my eyes
Youre all I see
In the dark of night
Youre in my dreams
Throughout the day
Youre easy to find
Youre always there
When I close my eyes
In my mind I know
Youre far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
Im still holdin you
Like I used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever I go
Its just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends
When I close my eyes
Youre all I see
In the dark of night
Youre in my dreams
Throughout the day
Youre easy to find
Youre always there
When I close my eyes
Youre always there
When I close my eyes

All Alone With You
J. spinks
I see your face across a crowded room
I hear you say that youll be leaving soon
I know its late but all that I can do
Is close my eyes and dream that Im alone with you
Id like to talk to you so much but I dont know your name
I bet theres not a man in here that doesnt feel the same
As youre walking out the door theres nothing I can do
I close my eyes and dream that Im alone with you
Yeah its once in my life
Wish that I wasnt alone with myself
I feel like a child
Seems that I cant think of anyone else
The night is over an I guess youre gone
I try and tell myself forget it and just carry on
But as I walk these lonely streets with nothing else to do
I close my eyes and dream that Im alone with you
I close my eyes and dream that Im alone with you
I close my eyes and dream that Im alone with you

Now I See
woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the staticand put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering Im pretending to be who Im not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And Im left in the wake of the mistakeslow to react
So even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distantand I cant bring you back
Chorus:
Its true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youre not with me
Im with you
Younow I seekeeping everything inside
With you
Younow I seeeven when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floorthe rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isnt real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And Im left in the wake of the mistakeslow to react
So Even though youre close to me
Youre still so distant that I cant bring you back
[Chorus]
With you
Younow I seekeeping everything inside
With you
Younow I seeeven when I close my eyes
No
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With You
Younow I seekeeping everything inside
With You
Younow I seeeven when I close my eyes (x2)

Shut Up
I tell you I didnt do it
cause I wasnt there
Dont blame me, it just isnt fair
You listen to their side
Now listen to mine
Cant think of a story
Sure youll find me sometime
Now pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then Ill be gone and youll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
It wasnt me either, Im just his mate
He told me to stand here and watch the gate
Ive got a wife and three kids you know
Theyll tell you Im straight, at least I think so
Im as honest as the day is long,
The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong
Now pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then Ill be gone and youll forget
The broken window, t.v. set
Pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three
(one two three)
Then Ill be gone and Ill forget
That what you give is what you get...
Pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three

Pass the blame and dont blame me
Just close your eyes and count to three

Whenever Youre Away From Me
(john farrar)
No other face would take you off my mind
Youre so refined
Youre much too kind
I have to warn you Im never gonna set you free
cause I was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever youre away from me
Wherever you go
Youre never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly Im where you are
You better never stray
Cos Ill never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My hearts aflame
I feel the same
Id fall apart dear if you let the feelin end
Dont break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever youre away from me
Wherever you go
Youre never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly Im where you are
You better never stray
Cos Ill never be far away

I Dont Want To Miss A Thing
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While youre far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And Im wondering what youre dreaming
Wondering if its me youre seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
I dont want to miss one smile
I dont want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
Cause Id miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
Id still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
Dont want to close my eyes
I dont want to fall asleep
I dont want to miss a thing

Empty
How could it be that you know me
My deepest fears my fantasies
Confide in you what no one knows
But it feels so real
[CHORUS:]
(when I close my eyes)
I can see your face
(when I lick my lips)
I can taste your smile
(when I see your name)
My heart starts to race
(if I can't read your thoughts)
Then I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Whoa I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Is this a new way to love
Never face to face is it enough?
Does it really count or am I a fool?
So tell me please

Wonderful
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream

All I See Is You
(clive westlake / ben wiesman)
I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just cant leave the past behind
Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you
But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you
Youre there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
Ive ever been
Everyday I find
Youre in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But Im not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that youre not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you
Everyday I find
Youre in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But Im not blind
I see you still, oh
I wont live again
til Im with you
Oh, darling
I wont love again
Unless its with you
So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All I see is you

Once An Angel
Once an angel
Always an angel
Youre as close to heaven
As Ill ever be
Its been six years now
Since my ring slipped on your finger
And those years have made
A better man out of me.
Once an angel
Always an angel
Youre as close to heaven
As Ill ever be.
Thereve been times when
Ive treated you so badly
Ive done things I know
Youll never understand.
But you take me back
Turn your eyes towards the window
Where you hide the tears
You dont want me to see.
Once an angel
Always an angel
Youre as close to heaven
As Ill ever be.
Once an angel
Always an angel
Youre as close to heaven
As Ill ever be.
Youre as close to heaven

We Close Our Eyes
We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again
When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow
Who am i?
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time
Chorus:
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...
And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am i?
And if you think Im worth it
And if you think its not too late
We might start falling
If we dont try to hard
We might start falling in love
(chorus)
Were on the healing path
Were on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes
(chorus)
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again

Come on, come on
Saying what? what? what?

You can search around the world
For different people for a thing called love
And youll return with stories on how the perceive you
It just wasnt love
Your friends will say how they often see it
(but what? )
They aint talking bout love
(they aint talking bout love baby)
(sing it baby)
Just go inside and figure the many that dont believe it
Cause it just aint love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
When in love with someone
When he leaves you can still feel it
Since you feel theyre the one
Just close your eyes and you can still see it
If its bright as the sun
Theres no turning back
(yeah second verse, what? what? what? )
I dont need your lavish lifestyle to please me
(why? )
Cause it just aint love
If you notice kings and queens divorce so easy
(hmm-hmm)
Cause it just aint love
(sing it baby, sing it baby)
The world could change if starving mouths were eating
But there is no love
(uh, thats so true, what? )
When your heart is starving nows the time to feed it
Enriched with love when you love someone
(come on, come on)
When in love with someone
When he leaves you can still feel it
Since you feel theyre the one
Just close your eyes and you can still see it
If its bright as the sun
Theres no turning back
When in love with someone
When he leaves you can still feel it
Since you feel theyre the one
Just close your eyes and you can still see it
If its bright as the sun
Theres no turning back
You cant deny
You cant deny (you cant deny)
When youre open wide
And what youre feeling inside
Is an all time high
When in love with someone
When he leaves you can still feel it
Since you feel theyre the one
Just close your eyes and you can still see it
If its bright as the sun
Theres no turning back
(come on, uh, uh, uh)
You cant deny (you cant deny)
When youre open wide
And what youre feeling inside
(what youre feeling inside)

Make Tonight Beautiful
I've been waiting
To taste your kiss
Touch you in the dark
Hold you to my heart
I've been hoping
For that moment
We'd be making love
Now the time has come
Come with me tonight
Share my dreams
Change my life...

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night
Turn the lights down
Tonight theres a world of love
Waiting there for us
Let me take you
To that place youve never been before
Open up the door
To a dream come true
Take my hand and show me how to...

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night ive ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night
And show me all the magic
The night can bring
You see youre my door to heaven
Youre all i need
I've waited all my life
To look into your eyes
So stay with me
Make love to me
And make tonight beautiful

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known

Hold me close and dont let go

Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While youre far away and dreaming

Cant Get Close Enough
How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we have theyre for real and were losing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Why do you believe that weve got something coming,
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away,
Too far away.
In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive,
Taking all and giving nothing thats a crime.
What makes you something special, what about me, Im here too,
You dont care what Im feeling and thats the truth.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
All I need is understanding and the right to survive,
Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by.
What makes you something special, what about me, Im here too,
You dont care what Im feeling and thats the truth.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Too far away.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we had theyre for real and were losing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Too far away, too far away, too far away.

Isnt It Romantic
(eric carmen/andy goldmark)
Are the stars just shining brighter?
Is that perfume in the air?
Seems the moon has got control of me
And I dont really care
With our bodies gently swaying
To the rhythm of the night
Has there ever been a place or time
That ever felt so right
Oh, Ive dreamed about this moment
Ever since I saw your face
Now I never wanna let it slip away
Isnt it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isnt it romantic
When we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
Theres a samba playing somewhere
Or is it just my beating heart?
I can swear I hear the strumming of
A classical guitar
Playing softly while you whisper
All the words Ive longed to hear
As I pull your body close to mine
The world just disappears
Oh, I dreamed about this moment
Ever since I saw your face
Now I never wanna let it slip away
Isnt it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isnt it romantic
When we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
Isnt it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isnt it romantic
When we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way
Isnt it romantic
How our kisses seem to set the night on fire?
Baby, when I look at you it takes my breath away
Isnt it romantic
When we close our eyes and hold each other tight?
If only love could always be this way

Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
Lately I can feel youve grown away from me
And inside I pray its not too late to find a remedy
Dont wanna live a lie
I dont wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
So Im searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that youre holding me
Dreams that wont ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing youll come back to me
Cause Im trying not to feel the pain, that loneliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Its so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream youre here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream

Just To Be Close To You
Just to be close to you, girl
Just for a moment, well,
Just for an hour
Just to be close to you girl
I was a lonely man
A man with no direction
With no purpose
With no one to love
And no one to love me, for me
Oh girl then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smoothe
You made my direction so clear
And you oh women you became my purpose
My reason for living girl you see
Youre my heart, youre my soul
Youre my strong inspiration baby
Thats why Im standing here
Singing and opening my arms to you
I wanna say child, why dont you
Take my hand,
Oh well live and love forever
Take my hand,
Ooh well be alone you and me
Take my hand
Girl well live our lives together
Yeah together
Just to be close to you, girl
Just for the moment baby,
Well just for an hour
Just to be close to you, girl
I need you baby
To make love, to be loved by you baby
To have your warm body close to mine
To whisper words that make you feel like a woman
Girl I know our love will stand the test of time
Just to be close to you girl
