It takes no more time to see the good side of life than to see the bad.

Intuition
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other peoples superstitions
It seemed like suicide
As I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
Its good to be alive
And when Im deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
Its then I realize its only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me anywhere
(takes me anywhere, alright)
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there

My Side Of Town
(wade hayes/chick rains)
Well I heard it through the grapevine
I guess it must be true
I heard that crowd youre running with
Has changed your attitude
Its been a month of sundays
Since youve been around
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
I knew that you were born to
The finer things in life
Caviar and foreign cars and bright big city lights
Now youre out there dancin
In a fancy evening gown
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
And Ill be right there waitin
til you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
I still dream about you
Every time the music starts
I still hold you close to me
Even though were far apart
If I ever cross your mind
You know where Im bound
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
Ill be right here waitin
till you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
You always had a good time
On my side of town

All It Takes isTime
time tells story's
long and short
some of great measure
some the fade away
who ever said
you won't be important
you could be whoever
but it takes time
time is full of hello's
and full of good-bye's
don't let one rule you
you need both this you'll see
you will be strong
you will stand tall
some will be knocked down
but others will withstand the fight
I know it all seems silly
I thought so too
but it's true
it took me a while to see
a good life has ups and downs
has hello's and good-bye's
has gained a love
and has been broken hearted
but through the fires
is a light for you
whatever you've been through
it will matter no more
so be brave
in time you'll see
you were meant
to be as great as can be
sure others may try
to knock you down
but that's when you stand tall
and be all you can be
what's life if you don't try
in time you'll know the truth
like they say
'when one door closes...'
who am I to tell you this
but who are you not to listen
you will find your way
all it takes is time.

Whatever It Takes
Face to face we embrace
We drink of loves sweetest wine
Whispered names fan the flames
Each touch is frozen in time
I can feel your heart
And the rhythm of it echoes through my soul
Well surely you know
Whatever it takes baby Im gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby youve got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
Baby Ill do it somehow
Promises made to last
These are the hardest to find
Touch me now, let me know
Your love will always be mine
As the years go by
And the fire of my love surely grows
Baby you know
Whatever it takes baby Im gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby youve got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
Ill love you to the end
Whatever it takes baby Im gonna be there
Whatever it takes baby youve got to know
Whatever it takes to be true to you
Baby--somehow...
I wanna be true to you
I wanna be hugging you, kissing you
Love you all of my life
Whatever it takes baby
Whatever it takes baby
Im gonna give all of my love, all of my life
Whatever it takes baby

True Love Takes Time
This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
As I travel down the road and search the empty sky
Waiting for the moment when my eyes will see
Many are the memories the mysteries of time
How they dance around and whisper endlessly
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that love takes time
It seemed impossible that I could care again
So it seemed I had forgotten how to give
What is this miracle that brings me back my dreams
All at once I can remember how to live
Yes Ive travelled down this road before
Where so many men have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
I have been too much alone for oh so many years
Looking for someone to sing with me
Sweet harmony
My heart is open now and tender to the touch
But there is love enough to heal me in your hands
Ill give you all my nights
All my sun and rainy days
Ill give you all the time it takes to understand
Weve travelled down this road before
Where so many fools have come and gone
But you know it takes time
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
And its so very hard to find
(true love takes time)
You know that true love takes time
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)
(true love takes time)

All In Love Is Fair
All is fair in love
Loves a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fates a chance
Its either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me youd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The losing side Ill play
But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

You know life is
You know life is so confusing sometimes
You know life is like a person it has a good side and a bad side
You know life is like a hurricane tearing through a town with no regard for human life
You know life is like a teardropp it has its sad times
You know life is like a smile because it has its good days
You know life is like a ship in the sea it sails on an open wave
You know life is like every thing because it is every thing…

Now Is A Good Time
Now is a time to say to someone I love you
When you see him or she
Now is a good time to celebrate who you were born to be
Now is the good time to say forgiveness to someone that you hurt in the past and move on with your life
Now is a good time to put money for your retirement away
So you can have a pension
Now it is a good time to learn to love yourself
Now it is a good time to discover what you love to do
Now it is a good time to worship God
Now it is a good time to pray for the people of the world
Now it is a good time to lend a hand in the community
Now it is a good time to write your feelings in your note book
Now it is a good time to plant the seeds in the garden so that they Come up during the summer
Now it is a good time to celebrate life

Thats What It Takes
And now it begins to shine
And you found the eyes to see
Each little drop at dawn of evry day
Your smile, it comes back to me
And whatever you may say
Dont let it stop, never fade away
As we got to get out in this world together, oh
Doesnt really matter if we start to make some changes, oh
If thats what it takes (thats what it takes)
Then Ive got to be strong (thats what it takes)
Dont want to be wrong
If thats what it takes
The closer I get (thats what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
Ive got to be sure
If thats what it takes
And now that its shining through
And you can see all this world
Dont let it stop, never fade away
If we got to be in this life forever, oh-oh
Then wed better be taking all the chances, oh oh
If thats what it takes (thats what it takes)
Then Ive got to be strong (thats what it takes)
Dont want to be wrong
If thats what it takes
The closer I get (thats what it takes)
Into that open door (what it takes)
Ive got to be sure
If thats what it takes
Thats what it takes, thats what it takes
Thats what it takes, thats what it takes
(thats) what it takes, thats what it takes
Thats what it takes, (thats) what it takes
Thats what it takes, oh, thats what it takes

Give Me Just One Night
If you're tellin' me you want me
Hold me close all through the night
I know deep inside you need me
No one else can make it right
Don't you try to hide the secrets
I can see it ifn your eyes
You said the words without speaking
And i'm gonna make you mine
Chorus:
Give me just one night, una noche
A moment to be by your side
Give me just one night, una noche
I'll give you the time of your life
The time of your life
Oh
Give you the time of your life
Oh baby yeah
Love and passion make me crazy
Your existence makes me wild
Wanna loosen up your feelings
To see what's hiding inside
Chorus
The time of your life
Oh oh yeah
Oh baby
Ay, que rico
Oh, how good
Me pone loca
You make me crazy
Como te mueve
How you move
Como me toca

Paper Dolls
All around me
This feeling has taken over me
Thank God you feel it too
Cos words would fail me
And the spirits did bless this
For getting on that road
We were taken to a place
Magical yet true
As day becomes the night
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
Theres no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and were paper dolls
And were side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and i
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo
I fall a little more in love with you
Its becoming the one thing
That I want to last
And theres never time enough
The hours go too fast
As day becomes the night
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
Theres no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and were paper dolls
And were side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and i
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do
Do do doo
Mmmm
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo
I fall a little more in love with you
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you

Friend
As long as forever I'll stay by your side
I'll be your compainion your friend your guide
We'll go through life together through the bad and the good
I'll always be with like a good friend always should
There'll be laughs there might be tears
But together will fight and conquor our fears
If were side by side or miles apart
I'll always be with you close to the heart
Life without friendship is like a sky with no sun
Nothing bright, warm watching over me nothing nice or fun
Together we'll take steps in this life
And know we're okay cause we'll be alright

Time
(paul hopkins/ bonnie tyler)
Producer for bonnie: nicky graham
Recorded in 1983 as a b-side for the single have you ever seen the rain? . lyrics taken from careful listening.
We wait for the weekends to go out dancing
We work all week just to get our pay
cause where theres music there could be romancing
Were gonna dance the whole night away
You gotta take the time to relax your mind
Switch off and leave your worries behind
For time, it isnt on our side
We havent even got the time to play
Yeah, time
We need more time
Yeah, time
Were gonna have a good time
Trying to forget the working day
Dont take it easy
Dont take it slow, oh no, no, no, no
Cant you feel the burning?
Cant you feel the glow? ah yeah
Life lifts you higher and higher
So just get on down to where the music flows
Gotta take the time to relax your mind
Leave your worries behind
For time, it isnt on our side
Switch off and let yourself unwind
Time
We need more time, yeah
Gonna have a good time, good time
Trying to forget the working day
Gotta take the time to relax your mind
Leave your worries behind
Cause time, it isnt on our side
Switch off and let yourself unwind
Time
I got no time, yeah
Were gonna have a good time
Trying to forget the working day
Time, time, no time, time
Time, time, more time, no time....etc.

If Thats What It Takes
I played the part of a broken heart upon a show
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you
Yeah, I know that youve been shattered
You been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But Id bet my life on a roll of the dice for you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
I bet you counted all the tears I bet youve cried
I bet you swore youd never let love back inside
cause it hurt youway too bad to say good-bye
Now, therell be times when I might put us to the test
And its hard for broken hearts to just forget
But Im driving blind, Ill lay it all on the line for you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When youre stading out on that ledge-staring over the edge
Ill be there to talk to you down
Ill be there before you hit the ground
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
Tonites the night, Im gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If we take the time to do it right, I know well put through
If it took all my life, Id prove it to you
If thats what it takes, thats what Id do
If thats what it takes...

It Takes You No Time To Get Here
(words & music: per gessle)
Published by jimmy fun music
Why dont you take the rest of the day off
You do deserve a break
Follow that road, it aint long
Just cross that silver lake
Yea, pass the pond, the off-white fence
When you see the mailbox to the left youve made it all right,
No way to go wrong
All you do is blow that horn
It takes you no time to get here
Just drive out of town today
It takes you no time to get here and when
Youve arrived you might as well stay
You might as well stay
Why dont you leave your desk for a short while
You do deserve some time
Enjoying the other side of life you forgot to memorize
Stay in the sun, reach for the moon
Make a little love in the afternoon
Youre doing all right, no way you go wrong
This is the place where you belong
It takes you no time
No time to get here

What It Takes To Be A Good Friend
A good friend is always kind,
Should always speak their mind,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
A good friend is there for you,
They are real, they are true- blue,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
A good friend will be there when you marry,
A heart full of memories, they will carry,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
They'll be there if your father dies,
They'll weep with you when you cry,
Their compassion should never end,
That's what it takes to be a good friend.
If a good friend you do find,
Make sure they treat you kind,
Understanding they shouldn't lack,
And they would never stab you in the back,
On top of everything always remember,
A best friend is forever.

Courage to Change
It takes courage to change yourself
It takes courage to reach out to someone
To admit that you can't do it by yourself.
It takes courage to change
Change the way you looked at yourself
Change the way you react to situations
Change the way you view life itself.
Change the way you look at yourself
Recognize that you are a good person
Recognize that you have needs too
Recognize that you have feelings and that you hurt.
Change the way you react to situations
Look at the other person's side, not just yours
Look at the whole picture - know that all is not as it seems
Don't prejudge because you don't want others to prejudge you.
Change the way you view life
Learn that you cannot control things
Take chances, even when you are scared
Realize that life is an adventure - treat it as such.

Being thankful for what you have
being thankful in life,
don't mean material things,
it's for enjoying the little things in life,
things that money can't buy,
like good friends and family,
becuz in the end,
when it feels like you have nothing,
you still have by your side,
what matters the most,
and everything that can never be replaced,
it not about the fansy food that you can make,
not about what you worked so hard,
just to get at this point,
it for the little things everybody takes for granted,
loving the family you have,
just the way they are,
just enjoying life,
without it feeling like you hate it,
life has it moments,
but it's feels so great,
when you can truely sit back,
and enjoy what you already have in front of you,
because when one of your family no longer there,
you wish as if you could of enjoyed the small things,
instead of being picky,
for what wasn't made,
it's a time to be thankful,
not a time to be greedy.
