Taking My Life In Your Hands
My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late
And its really just a silly fragment of paper
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights til I dare dream again
There you suddenly stand and Ill be damned if you
Didnt disappear with the dawn
Chorus:
Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
Will you return if you dont reply
Youll be taking my life in your hands
Youll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands
I dont know why my dearest darling
I cant tell you how I feel when you are near
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
But youre kidding yourself if you think this
Correspondence will end
I can always pretend words I dont have the courage to
Send
Reach you
Repeat chorus

Taking The Chance
(graham russell)
Youre in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer wont come from that magazine
This time its real and youre not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now
(chorus)
Im taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If somethings not right then tell me Im wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when Im so scared when things begin
Dont ever run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now
(chorus)
Im taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If somethings not right then tell me Im wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Im taking the chance
I cant let this feeling leave
I dont want those nights of waiting so long
Im taking the chance before its gone
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you

Its Only Life
Hey, do you know whats going on
Do you?
Come on, play it! wooh!
Are you awake?
Have you anything to say?
Are you aware of what surrounds you?
And all the times you tried to please everyone
Can you admit it doesnt matter?
Ooh theres never a dull moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
I dont mind the ride, yes
So listen
Dont live a lifeless life
When you could be living it right
Dont be one to be led (ahah)
Its a heavy world in my small world
Get up get out of bed
Ooh theres never a dull moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
Chorus:
Dont you know its only life
Its only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever youre doing
However youre doing it
Youll be living your life
Yes its only life
So there is no wrong, no right
Ooh its a constant flight
A constant flight
Movin on...
Are you awake?
I dont think I have the answer
Is there no one on the other line?
No
Now its a heavy world in my small world
But Im feeling just fine
Ooh theres never a still moment in my life
And I dont mind the ride
(chorus)
Life
Dont you know
Crying
Its only life, its only life
Dont you know
Crying
Its only life, its only life
Im crying

Dont you know its only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever youre doin
However youre doing it
Youll be living your life
Dont you know its only life
And everyone pushes to get by
We go here
Were going there
Somebody tell me why
Dont you know that its only life
There is no wrong
There could be no right
Whatever youre doing
However youre doing
Youll be living your life
Dont you know its only life
Dont you know its only life...
Dont you know
Dont you know its only life

Say Youll Be Mine
Chorus:
Do you wanna be in love forever
Do you wanna make my dream come true
Let me be the one to kiss and hold you
Say youll be my baby
Can you see the two of us together
Living in love this whole life through
Do you wanna be in love forever
Say youll be mine
I can remember
When my mind was clear and free
Now theres a feeling
Coming over me
The sweetest attraction
That my heart has ever seen
Im going crazy making sense of anything
(repeat chorus twice)
I really wonder
Is there magic in your smile
Taking me under
Got me acting like a child
Something about you
Hits me like avalance
I try to stand my ground
But I dont stand a chance
(repeat chorus)
Every time I close my eyes I deram about
Hugging you, holding you, kissing you boy
Its driving me crazy
But even if it takes forever
To win your heart and your love and your devotion
I know its gonna be worth the wait
Ooh, say youll be my baby
Ooh, be my baby
Ooh, oh darlin, say youll be mine
(repeat chorus)
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be my baby
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be mine

What Happened To You?
Before you started tokin you used to have a brain
But now you dont get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
Man youre really losin it
And youve really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin it
What in the world happened to you
Its bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know thats something else
I say Im not that kind of person
Im not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
Chorus
So Ill see you tomorrow
Youll be gackin up again
Ill see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just dont understand

Taking Me Over
You dont remember me, but I remember you.
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you.
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do.
[chorus:]
I believe in you.
Ill give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
Youre taking over me.
Can you know what I know and all we have.
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand.
I knew you loved me then.
[chorus]
I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough.
So many things inside that just frighten you are taking over.

If You Go Away
Girl, I just cant live without you
I know I hurt you
Thats the last thing I meant to do
Sometimes I can be careless and blind
Can you forgive the fool that Ive been?
You know I love you
Youre the one thing I have thats true
My life used to be nothing to me
I never want to feel that again
Chorus:
If you go away girl
Youre taking my heart with you
If you go away girl
Youll be breaking my heart in two
If you only stay girl
I promise you the world
So please dont ever go away
You know I need you
Im so sorry that I made you cry
You are everything good in my life
Your tears have finally opened my eyes
Chorus
I was so wrong to ever look at another baby
Even the strongest man can stumble and fall
And Ill do anything for you
Anything to be in your arms again
Baby dont let this be the end

Girl, I just cant live without you
Never, ever leave me girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say youll never leave me girl (repeat and fade)

When Your Looking Like That
Shes a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
everybodys whos staring wouldnt believe that this girl was mine
i should have known i was wrong
when i left her for a little pity but
they say you never miss the water til its gone
guess i failed to love you
and youre taking it out tonight
chorus-how am i supposed to leave you now
when youre looking like that
i cant beleive what i just gave away
now i can take it back
i dont wanna get lost
i didnt wanna live my life without you
how am i supposed to leave you now
when youre looking like that
Shes all dresses up for glamour and rock and roll
wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
if only i could take control
but shes outta my reach forever
and just a week ago she lied next to me
its so ironic how i had to lose just to see
that i failed to love you
and youre taking it out tonight
Repeat chorus
i dont wanna forget you
i dont even wanna try
how am i supposed to walk on by
when youre looking like that

I Dont Want To Be A Hero
Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I wont pull the trigger
Out destiny is here
neath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now dont be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
Its an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life
(chorus)
I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth
To the horror and pain
Until my mind is twisted
And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder I will not commit?
cos you dont understand
Till theres blood on your hands
That its time to forget and forgive
(chorus)
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That theyre hated by those who they love
cos youre not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood

Didnt Have The Heart
Verse1:
I found somebody new
Though you mustnt believe
That means Im over you
I know that in time
Well figure it out
Youll read my mind
And though Ill wait for that day
Without making a sound
I dont want to be
The one whos letting you down
I just want you to know
The reason behind the rhyme
Chorus:
Its not that
I didnt have the time
Didnt have the love
I didnt have the strength
Not to fall apart
Its not that I dont care
Its just I wouldnt dare
Cause I just dont have the heart
Verse2:
Love is not black and white
Youd believe that its true
If you saw me tonight
I struggle with what is real
But the logical side
Doesnt stop what I feel
And though youre holding your breath
To be given a sign
Your heart cannot be
Broken in pieces like mine
I just want you to know
The reason behind the rhyme
Chorus:
Its not that
I didnt have the time
Didnt have the love
I just didnt have the strength
Not to fall apart
Its not that I dont care
Its just I wouldnt dare
Cause I just dont have the heart
Bridge:
Loving you was more than I could stand
I was scared my heart was in your hand
But I know now
I figured it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I must let go
Chorus:
Yes I had the time
Yes I had the love
I just didnt have the strength
Not to fall apart
Its not that I dont care
Its just I wouldnt dare
Cause I just dont have the heart
I dont have the heart

Nothin But A Heartache
Michael mcdonald
So you tell him to say no more
You dont want to know why or where
Where hes been all these lonely nights
You know whats wrong and dont care whats right
As long as he comes back to you
Someone to love him all his life
It aint nothin but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
It aint nothing but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
Theres always there comes a day
When love just goes away
When theres no caring, no words to say
Theres no forgiving, no games to play
When all you know will get you through
Seems like youve known it all your life
It aint nothin but a heartache
Darling, youll get over it
It aint nothin but a heartache

If you looked in my life

If you looked in my life

Life can be only what you make it
When youre feelin down
You should never fake it
Say whats on your mind
And youll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease
And youll be at peace with yourself
You wont really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because hell give you love
(my life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked into my life
Take your time
Baby dont you rush a thing
Dont you know, I know
We all are struggling
I know it is hard
But we will get by
And if you dont believe in me
Just believe in he
Cause hell give you peace of mind
Yes he will
And youll see the sunshine
For real, yes you would
And youll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would

I Cant Get Excited
(graham russell)
Every single feeling now
Would take my life into a year ago
You say youll love me again
I cant say what I cannot do
Its been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now youre here, wondering why you cant get near
(chorus)
I cant get excited
Cant get excited
Theres a thousand things to do
I cant do anything with you
I cant get excited
Cant get excited
You can see me look right through
I dont feel like I used to do
Im turning back the pages now
Ive pleaded with you oh so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping I might be the one
So calm down love, it will be all right
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought Id have to say
That you should leave and go away
(repeat chorus)
Not in love
Still not in love with you

Still not in love with you

Taking a chance you

Will You Still Love Me
Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine now and forever
Darling here I stand, stand before you now
Deep inside I always knew
It was you, you and me
Two hearts drawn together bound by destiny
It was you and you for me
Every road leads to your door
Every step I take forever more

Just say youll love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I dont want to let go
Will you still love me for the rest of my life?

No, I cant go on

If Im on my own
Take me as I am
Put your heart in mine, stay with me forever

I never had a thing to prove
Till there was you
You and me
Then it all came clear so suddenly
How close to you that I wanna be

Lip Service
You left the motor running.
But I know youre so attractive.
Getting in some sharp practice.
You better not do anything reckless.
But everybody is going through the motions.
Everybody is going through the motions.
Are you really only going through the motions?
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
Lip service is all youll ever get from me.
But if you change your mind
You can send it a letter to me
Dont make any sudden movements.
These are dangerous amusements.
When did you become so choosy?
Dont act like youre above me;
Just look at your shoes.

Part Of Your Life

Youre taking this hard - and I still dont know
If weve got a price - Ill let you go
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I cant complain if Im not sure
Ill only remain if youre still pure
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I wont share you with another man
So dont expect me to try and understand
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

Theres another choice
Theres another dream
Theres another place
Another reason for living
Theres another face
Theres another mind
Theres another soul
Another heart I could find
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time wont ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

Everything You Want
Somewhere theres speaking
Its already coming in
Oh and its rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now youre here and you dont know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who wont return
Chorus
Hes everything you want
Hes everything you need
Hes everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you dont know why
Youre waiting for someone
To put you together
Youre waiting for someone to push you away
Theres always another wound to discover
Theres always something more you wish hed say
Chorus
But youll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
Its only what youre asking for
And youll be just fine
With all of your time
Its only what youre waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who wont return
Chorus
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I dont know why
And I dont know why
Why
I dont know

Youll Find Me
Up and off to work again, going through the motions
I bet she tried to warn me and I didnt even notice
til I got home and found her gone
Left with just a letter
Folded with a key on top
Sitting on the dresser
I opened it
It simply read
Chorus
Look and you will find me
I wont be that far
Ill be right here waiting for you with open arms
I dont want to live without you
But I cant go on like this
Torn between the man I love and the one Im living with
Its a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
I know that I need you
But you have to need me too
So if you get home and miss me in your life
Youll find me
I called her family asked everyone who knows her
Telling them in detail all the things I should have told her
How much she really means to me and how much Im regretting
But so far no ones heard from her and all that I am left with
Is how I let her go
And the letter she wrotesaying youll find me
Bridge
I spent the next eight hours wondering where on earth you were
It was getting late, I was getting tired and growing more concerned
When all at once it hit me, that piano bar back home
Where I asked you to marry me
And there you were alone
2nd chorus
I knew I would find you
And how it warmed my heart
To see you right there waiting for me with open arms
Said I dont know where Im going, but I cant go on like this
The thought of life without you is something I just cant live with
Its a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
You told me that you need me
Well, girl I need you too
So if you come home and want me in your life
Youll find me
Youll find me
Youll find me

It dont matter if youre rich

Before you reach a pot of gold

Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high

Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
