Duchess

Times were good,
She never thought about the future, she just did what she would
Oh but she really cared
About her music, it all seemed so important then,
And she dreamed that every time that she performed
Everyone would cry for more,
That all she had to do was step into the light,
And everyone would start to roar.
And on the road,
Where all but a few fall by the wayside on the grassier verge,
She battled through
Against the others in her world, and the sleep, and the odds.
But now everytime that she performed
Oh everybody cried for more,
Soon all she had to do was step into the light,
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, youre the one weve waited for.
Oh but time went by
It wasnt so easy now, all uphill, and not feeling so strong.
Yes times were hard,
Too much thinking bout the future and what people might want.
An then there was the time that she performed
When nobody called for more
And soon everytime she stepped into the light,
They really let her know the score.
But she dreamed of the times when she sang all her songs
And everybody cried for more,
When all she had to do was step into the light
For everyone to start to roar.
And all the people cried, youre the one weve waited for.

One Small Step

So many people
Need to go so many miles
How do we move them
To where the answer lies
Reach out to the ocean
Beyond the stars that shine
Weve got to take one small step in time
If we are the dreamers
Then the world must be the dream
Driven to question
All the things weve never seen
We search the horizon
Looking for a sign
Weve got to take one small step in time
One step beyond
All our hopes and our passion
There is the light of the universe flashin
All that it takes is one leap of faith
One small step, (one small step)
One small step in time
Deep in the darkness
(deep in the blackness)
Theres a wind that never dies
(theres a wind that never dies)
Out in the vastness
(out in the vastness)
Theres a road across the sky
(a road across the sky)
Out there is the reason
That we were meant to find
Weve got to take one small step in time
Weve got to take one small step in time
(one small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(one small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(one small step, one small step)

Full Circle

Youve seen me naked in more ways than one
Youve seen me done up, seen me come undone
Weve cried in the darkness, weve laughed in the sun
Weve been forever, yet weve just begun
Chorus:
Weve come full circle, all the way round
Through the good times, the bad times, through lifes ups and downs
Still weve stayed together throught thick and through thin
Yes, weve come full circle
Thank god, were still friends
You know the soft spots under my skin
Deep down inside me, where no one has been
And weve sailed troubled waters, weve soared on the wind
But times only sweetened this love that were in
Chorus:
And weve come full circle, all the way round
Throught the good times and bad times, through lifes ups and downs
Still weve stayed together through thick and through thin
Yes, weve come full circle
Thank god, were still friends
Tag chorus:
Weve cried in the darkness, laughed in the sun
Weve come full circle and weve just begun
Weve come full circle, weve been all the way round
Weve come full circle, weve been all the way round
You know weve cried in the darkness, and weve laughed in the sun
Weve stayed together, and weve just begun
Fade:
Weve come full circle, weve been all the way round
Im so glad youre still my friend
Weve come full circle, and Id do it all again

If It Wasnt For The Nights

I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
Theyre the things that keep me from thinking of you
(ohhh) baby, I miss you so, I know Im never gonna make it
Oh, Im so restless, I dont care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still its even worse when the nights on its way
Its bad, oh, so bad
Somehow Id be doing alright if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could make it)
Id have courage left to fight if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasnt for the nights
(even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Somehow Id be doing alright if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
(ohhh) baby, I feel so bad, I know Im never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everythings so different when nights on its way
Its bad, oh, so bad
Somehow Id be doing alright if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could make it)
Id have courage left to fight if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasnt for the nights
(even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could make it)
Even I could see a light if it wasnt for the nights
(even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
If it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could make it)
If it wasnt for the nights
(if it wasnt for the nights I think that I could take it)
Even I could see a light if it wasnt for the nights
(even I could see a light I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright if it wasnt for the nights
(fade)

Too Many Nights

(nick martinelli/a.brown/b.wayy)
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years
Too many nights Ive waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldnt even sleep
Too many tears Ive cried but now Im through
Im ready to dry my eyes again, this time I wont pretend
I thought that I could make it on my own
And the thought of starting over again
Scared me into staying here with you
Long after all the heartache began
Im through with waiting in an empty bed
One for dinner when it should be two
Im tired of holding back what should be said
Im gonna let it go and stand up to you
Hey, too many nights Ive waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldnt even sleep
Too many tears Ive cried but now Im through
Im ready to dry my eyes again, this time I wont pretend
My pride was swallowed one too many times
Ive kept on turning my back on the truth
Now Im as serious as a heart attack
coz Ive decided baby, were through
Im growing stronger from experience
The woman in mes taking a stand
You taught me good, I learned my lesson well
And Im never gonna let it happen again, no
Too many nights Ive waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldnt even sleep
Too many tears Ive cried but now Im through
Im ready to dry my eyes again, this time I wont pretend
Im gonna turn the page
Put heartache in the past
I gotta think about getting strong
And Ill put all those memories on the shelf
And make the space for someone else
(too many nights Ive waited around for you)
Too many nights
(too many nights)
Too many nights
Hey, too many tears Ive cried but now Im through
(Im through)
Im ready to dry my eyes again, this time I wont pretend
Too many nights Ive waited around for you
Ive waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldnt even sleep
Too many tears Ive cried but now Im through
I cried, cried, cried
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years

I cried Today

I cried today...and not cuz ur gone but becuz i thought feelingz were strong

I cried today...and not by myself but wit that Keyshia Cole Song

I cried today...and didn't know what to do for the 1st time in my life

I cried today...It was worst pain then gettin shanked wit a knife

I cried today...about u and me, and where we go frm here

I cried today...wit so much PRIDe it was HARD to hold bak tears

I cried today...I wrote a poem I even rote a rhyme

I cried today...As if I weren't used to dis I cry all the time

I cried today...Thinking about the love that we once shared

I cried today...I cudn't see clearly..as if my vision's impaired

I cried today...And I really don't care how much they call me dumb

I cried today...cuz they dont know what it feels to be REALLY in love

I cried today...without a sound but, wit the reality in my mind

Tellin me I don't gotta cry TOday....cuz love will only TAKE TImE!

The Last Time You Loved

(brian neary)
I think there are people who need to be loved
Lonely and hiding the light from their eyes
Still too afraid to light up the night
Too lonely to come out of hiding
Well Ive seen you with the young girls
They come when you call
They make love so easy
They dont love at all
You want me to come running
When your worlds falling in
You want me till you got me
Then youre gone again
And your passion comes so easy
Then you ease away from me
Cause the last time you loved was the first time you ever cried
It was the first time you ever really loved
Its the last time you ever tried
Your defenses become you, now you become them
Its one night on the weekend
Then youre gone again
Well Im tears and Im passion and theres a woman in me
Stop all your runnin and Ill set you free
And I stand before you naked, and my soul is on my sleeve
And the last time you loved was the first time you ever cried
It was the first time you ever really loved
And its the last time you ever tried
It was the first time you ever really loved
Say its not the last time youll ever try

Road To Nowhere

I tried to hang on for as long as I could
But now I can see that it just aint no good
Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We dont have anymore
Youve got to get off a road to nowhere
Youve got to get off a road to nowhere
Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right
But I guess were two people who cant help but fight
Your eyes they are open
And oh so are mine
We both need our freedom
Dont you think its about time
Im trying to get off this road to nowhere
Im trying to get off this road to nowhere
(lead)
Thank you for the good times weve had in the past
But we both know enough to know good times dont last
Baby youre just no good for me
And Im no good for you
Lets not waste our time talkin
We both know what to do
Weve got to get off this road to nowhere
Its time to get off this road to nowhere
Youve got to get off this road to nowhere
Weve got to get off this road to nowhere

So Glad Youre Mine

(words & music by arthur crudup)
My babys long and tall,
Shes like a cannonball.
Say, everytime she loves me,
Lordly, you can hear me squall.
She cried, ooo-wee.
I believe Ill change my mind.
She said, Im so glad Im living.
I cried, Im so glad youre mine.
My baby knows just how
To treat me right.
Gives me plenty loving
Morning, noon, and night.
She cried, ooo-wee.
I believe Ill change my mind.
She said, Im so glad Im living.
I cried, Im so glad youre mine.
When my baby does what she does to me,
I climb the highest mountain,
Dive in the deepest sea.
She cried, ooo-wee.
I believe Ill change my mind.
She said, Im so glad Im living.
I cried, Im so glad youre mine.
My babys lips are red
And sweet like wine,
And when she kisses me,
I get high every time.
She cried, oo-wee.
I believe Ill change my mind.
She said, Im so glad Im living.
I cried, Im so glad youre mine.

Writers: leo sayer, bruce roberts & tom snow
Oo babe, what can I say to you
Change what youre feelin inside?
Oo babe, Ive got to get close to you
Please dont cast me aside
You know I hate to see you lookin so sad
I cant stand to watch this good love go bad
Lets stop and think about the good times that we had
We can start it all (start it all) all over again
And we can have it all (have it all) just a one more time
We can start it all (start it all) all over again, oo, oo, oo, oo
Oo babe, dont look that way at me
You know youre breakin my heart
Oo babe, Im as sorry as I can be
Dont let this tear us apart
Now lets forget about the tears that we cried
Its gone, there aint nothin to hide
Come on baby, why cant we give it one more try?
We can start it all (start it all) all over again
And we can have it all (have it all) just a one more time
We can start it all (start it all) all over again, oo, oo, oo, oo
Just think about it babe, oo, oo, oo, oo
Just think about it babe
Oo baby, I acted like a fool
You just trust me baby and Ill make it up to you

I know you understand
Come on baby
All you got to do is take my hand
I love you baby, were gonna start it all again
Well have it down like nothin before, ah

We can start it all (start it all) all over again
We can have it all (have it all) yeah everything

Gun Turned On The World

Youre walkin round like a doll without a head
You should be thinking bout how to give your love instead
Ive seen you lying and cheating your way
Then you complain about what all of your friends say
You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world
We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled
Just try to finish the things that you start
Stop thinking with your fists
And start thinking with your heart
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
Things have to be attempted one step at a time
You got to take that poison from your eyes
You know the lights are going out in your life
Your killing yourself with your own knife
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
You dont want a love you need a chaperone
You want a first-class alibi
You bore the pants off people on the telephone
People are sick of your lies
You better open your eyes
Youre like a gun turned on the world, like a gun
Youre takin one step forward then two steps back
Friendly advice gets treated like a heart attack
You can drown in the shallow water of hate
Get the sense before its too late now
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world

Time To Make You Mine

Only in my dreams
Ive seen the way its gonna be
Ive waited for this moment
The moment when we share ourselves
This moment cant be thought about
It has to be felt
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before
Chorus:
Ive dreamed your fingers touch me a thousand times
Dreamed the warm skin of your body burning next to mine
Kissed your sugar lips, caressed your hips
Now were together baby now its time
Time to make you mine
Time to make you mine
The sweet anticipation of hands I know will touch me soon
Two fascinating shadows move in time
(chorus)
Spoken:
I know what its gonna be
Me and you, you and me
I thought that it would never be
I only knew it in my dreams
Even though youre here with me
I never thought Id feel such ecstasy
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before
(chorus x 2)

Float Away

Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how
Time just floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to
Good friends and times that money cant replace
[d:] everytime I close my eyes Im lost in a daze
[d:] thinkin bout the things that I really want to say
[jr:] and all the old games we played at nickel nickel arcade
[jr:] workin at the donut shop, dreamed of getting paid
[d:] and when the dishes got dirty, we got cascade
[d:] and when the weather was hot, we got a spot in the shade
[jr:] well no lie before we high, always rockin fresh fades
[jr:] before the spade and the stage we was drinkin underage
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace
[jr:] now I was drivin down the ave
[d:] we on the radio now
[jr:] you know the good times weve had
[d:] when were in front of the crowds
[jr:] always holdin it down for myself and the boys
[d:] and back in 95s when we first got live
[jr:] now we was 18 years old on the run having fun
[d:] playing shows in the sun, no bus when we begun
[jr:] we had a van and a plan doin shows every night
[d:] now the california dream we be livin that life
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace
[bridge]
When your time comes and youre numbers up
All you have in life is whats left in your cup
When the whistle blows and the partys over
Dont let em drag you out bored and sober
When whats done is done and what said is said
And the dreams youve had are lying in your bed
Let your memories be filled with no regrets
Theres no second chance, theres no turning back so..
Every time I close my eyes I start to drift away- thinkin bout some days gone by how time just
Floats away- every time I hear that song puts a smile on my face- brings me back to good friends
And times that money cant replace

Going Down

When youre in a dream
And you think you got your problems all nailed down
Pieces of the scheme
Seem to rattle up and then to rattle down
And when you start to fall
And those footsteps they start to fade
Well then you know youre going down
Yeah, youre falling all around
And you know youre going down
For the last time
When youre in the air
And youre thinking youll drift off into the west
Your friends polite, advise
Hey look youre pushing too hard
And perhaps you need a rest
And when you start to fall
And all those footsteps they start to fade
Then you know youre going down
Yeah, youre crashing upside down
And you know youre going down
For the last -
- times not what it seems
It just seems longer, when youre lonely in this world
Everything it seems
Would be brighter if your nights were spent with some girl
Yeah, youre falling all around
Yeah, youre crashing upside down
Oh, oh, and you know youre going down
For the last time

Youre Right Im Wrong

Chorus:
Youre right, Im wrong
Im here, youre gone
Now Im the one to blame
That our loves at an end
I lied, you cried
I died inside
Now Ill do anything
To get you back again
Step by step, night after night
I walk the floor till morning light
Your leaving words still haunt my mind
Cause Im the fool who made you say goodbye
Chorus
Day by day, time after time
I did not see the warning signs
Now my beating heart keeps telling me
It hurts to know that I caused you to leave

Yes Ill do anything to get you back again

One Together

Written by jeremy spencer.
How can my heart be filled with doubts of you
When you can fill me with a love thats true
But I cant help but sigh,
And sometimes wonder why
What can I do
I want to see you more and more each day
I really need you, youre my only way
You say its alright now
But still I wonder how, what can I say
Ive dreamed a thousand dreams
And cried so many tears
Cause when youre not in my heart it seems
Like Ive wasted all my years
Someday together we will fly to the sun
And then well think of all the things weve done
Everyone will smile, happy all the while
Now that were one
Ive dreamed a thousand dreams
And cried so many tears
When youre not in my heart it seems
Like Ive wasted all my years
Someday together we will fly to the sun
And then well think of all the things weve done
Everyone will smile, happy all the while
Now that were one

The Next Step Is Love

(words & music by evans - parnes)
Yesterday, I slipped away
The sun is welcoming the evening shadows
On a perfect day and the next step is love
The next step is love
We walked barefoot through the misty meadows
Laughing at each other in the rain
Made some faces at some people in the park
Didnt bother to explain
Fun, fun, look at us run
Going nowhere special really fast
But weve yet to taste the icing on the cake
That weve been baking with the past
And the next step is love
So what are we waiting for?
The next step is love
Girl, its for sure
Love will be a place to run to
From the world theyve built to you and me
Well be closer than weve ever been
Though looking back its so hard to believe
Hang it all out or bring it all in
The best weve picked upon the way tonight
Changes are coming but together
We can make it through somehow
Yes the next step is love

Hit The Floor

There are just too many times when people try to put their trust in me
Wondering when I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I held on but when I didnt you push away
Afraid to say what is wrong and right, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when Im not around
You think you have the upper hand and you got to put me down
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you its about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone
So many people like me that put so much trust in all the lies
So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All of those and all they want is to feel like Ive been stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
Watch this I will show you all I am counting down the time
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you its about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone
I know I cant trust or see the way you say
And now I realise youre byast but youre right anyway
And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw
I know now somethings got to fall
One minute youre up top
(you better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(just before you hit the floor)
One minute youre up top
(you better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(you think you won)
And then its all gone

Those Times Of Nothing To Do

THOSE TIMES OF HAVING NOTHING TO DO

Those times of having nothing to do
Those times of one’s own meaninglessness
Those times when Time itself – an unending stretch of emptiness
Those times when one must somehow find the way
To dare one small step
Another small step
Step after step
Out the door
In order to be shocked by a whole other world
In which the burden of what one is and is not
Is if only for some moments
Not at the center
Of one’s consciousness.

Sparks

Written by ricky & marty wilde
Caught in the times we live in
Caught in the times we know
Its taking a real hard line
You feel youre becoming a number
Nobody needs your trouble
Gives you the time of day
But kicking the world behind
Wont make it go away
Cos were strong
And were big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
Weve only one life
And weve gotta lot to give
Theres only one time
And weve got to make or break it
Let the sparks fly out again
Let the feelings tell you when
Let the sparks fly out again
Flick of the fingers
And theyll cut you down for sure
You gotta be hard sometimes
And so you pretend its nothing
Finding what to believe in
Thats what its hard to do
Boy there was another time
I saw the best in you
Cos were strong
And were big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
