Million Miles Away
Friday night, Id just got back
I had my eyes shut, was dreaming about the past
I thought about you while the radio played
Should have got loaded but for some reason I stayed
I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring us back
cause youre a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayoh no
I took a ride and I went downtown
The streets were empty, there was no one around
I went to places that we used to go
Seen all the places that we used to know
Im at the wrong end of the looking glass
Im trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And theres nothing there to bring us back
cause youre a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayoh no
cause youre million miles away
A million miles away
Just a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayayayoh no

After The Ball/million Miles
After the ball, after the ball, you were the one out in the hall
You were the one, the one who would love me, after the ball.
After the ball, after the ball, you were the one out in the hall
You were the one, the one who would love me, after the ball.
Well, I arrived, looked around but the room was full of strangers
Nowhere was a freindly face to be found.
Later on, I awoke, but the party it was over
There you were waiting to bring me round.
How many million miles, day-oh?
How many million miles, day-oh?
When I get up, up, up in the morning, whoa! lord I know.
When I look up, up, up in the morning, whoa! lord I know.
How many million miles, day-oh?
How many million miles, day-oh?
How many million miles, day-oh?

If I Could Walk a Million Miles
If I could walk a million miles where would I begin my journey?
I would probably begin my Journey with a talk With God.
I would ask him why he made my legs unable to walk.
Then after my talk with God I’d walk a few more miles until I came upon my mother.
I stop and ask her is it because of my disability you treated me like I’m not one of your children.
Now after my mother denies that she doesn’t do such a thing; I’d continue my journey of a million miles.
Now at the end of my journey when I have walked a million miles before I rest I hope that while walking
these million miles that in some of the steps I took my footprints left an impression behind.
If I could walk a million miles
Mandocello
I, I can hear you laughing
Youre a million miles away or youre here
I, I will never leave you
Im a million miles away or Im near
I, i, the thoughts youre thinking
But youre a lifetime away from your home or youre here
I, I can see you crying
Youre a million miles away or youre here
Look at me like I look at you
Think of me like I think of you
Speak to me like I speak to you
Dream of me like I dream of you
I, I can hear you thinking
Youre a million thoughts away
I, Im the dreams youre dreaming
Im a million dreams away or Im here
We can go down slowly like the rain
I could leave and be with you again, oh
I could be your lover, lets pretend

Power Of A Million Lights
I hear your voice close on the phone
But I know youre far away
Ive waited so long to talk to you
But now I cant find the words to say
So I sit and I listen to you
Breathe on the open line
I can almost taste your lips
And touch your hair
Its like intoxicating wine
I can almost see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
I can feel the power of a million lights
When I see your eyes burn bright
I can see the sparks of a million volts
When you touch me through the night
I can feel the heat across a million miles
When you voice comes through the line
I can feel the power of a million lights
Come through the satellite
Although these oceans hold us apart
Where theres a will theres a way
Im going to reach across the miles of sea
No matter what they say
So close your eyes and Ill be there
Theres magic in the sky tonight
When you see the lightning flash around the world
Its the power of a million lights
Until I see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
Somewhere over the atmosphere
The signals are crossed
Now youre not so clear
The power is out and the lights are down
My head is spinning
Round and round and round and round and round
You know I need you more tonight
By the power of a million lights

A Million Miles Away
You think I'm cool
But I am not
You think that I am nonchalant
You think I'm hard
That I lay the part
Don't be fooled
You are my heart
Oh Babe I'm just so tired of being on the run
Babe when I can't feel your touch
and we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away
Without love what have we got
All these things don't mean a lot
Let's disregard the past and start
A new fire
From this old spark
Let's take this love
And make it hotter than the sun
Babe when I can't feel your touch
And we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away
What am I looking for ?
What am I dreaming of ?
When you are the woman that I really love
Babe when I can't feel your touch
And we've lost another day
Seems like a million miles away
I wander in the dark
Looking for somewhere to stay
Seems like I'm a million miles away

Shipwrecked
Im a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see
Theres nothing there for me
I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
Im helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I cant believe what you said to me
Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you dont
Im shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
Im helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I cant believe what you said to me
Without you I feel shipwrecked
But I cant let it show
A million miles away from anywhere, ooh, ooh, ohh
Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
Im a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know
You know thats why Im shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
Im helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I cant believe what you said to me
You know thats why Im shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction
Please come and rescue me (shipwrecked)
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked...

Open Door
Come around whenever youre lonly
Come around from out of the blue
You know things change they often do
But I always thought Id be close to you
Come around from out of nowhere
Come around whenever you can
When the rains so loud that you just cant sleep
I will be the secret that you cant keep
Come around
Again and again
Chorus:
Whatever you need me for
Im all I ever was and even more
No matter what came before
Ill always leave an open door...
You come around
Whenever youre bleeding
You come around
When you need a cure
When the nights so dark that you cannot see
Somehow you find your way back to me
Come around when nothing is sure
Youre a million miles from me
Ive been a million miles from you
Just remember what is true...
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can shake you from my heart
No will, no pain, no hate
No memory can fade that easy

Come around whenever youre lonly
Come around...

South Side Of The Sky
A river a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
Around the south side so cold that we cried
Were we ever colder on that day a million
Miles away
It seemed from all eternity
Move forward was my friends only cry
In deeper to somewhere we could lie
And rest forthe the day with cold in the way
Were we ever colder on that day a million
Miles away
It seemed from all eternity
The moments seemed lost in all the noise
A snow storm a stimulating voice
Of warmth of the sky of warmth when you die
Were we ever warmer on that day a million
Miles away
We seemed from all eternity
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
The river can disregard the cost
And melt in the sky warmth when you die
Were we ever warmer on that day a million miles away

Holding On For You
Sunshine fades to gray
The second I'm away
Minutes turn to hours
Without you
Time keeps marching on
Now summers been and gone
And I'm still here alone
Still waiting.
I'm on my own
A million miles away
Temptation all around
I won't be long
So please be strong
Cos I'm holding on for you
Trust is all it takes
But people make mistakes
Cos we are only human
Lets face it
I struggle through the day
Pretend that I'm okay
I make believe that you're here
Beside me
I'm on my own
A million miles away
Temptation all around
I won't be long
So please be strong
Cos I'm holding on for you
You are the only one that I truly believe in
So don't ever think that I would ever deceive you baby
Without a doubt you are my rhyme and my reason
And I won't let you down
I'm on my own
A million miles away
Temptation all around
I won't be long
So please be strong
Cos I'm holding on for you

A million miles away
I wish on a rainbow
Is all I can do?
Through these lonely
Hours of my day
Hoping my wish will come true
When will our eyes meet?
And when can I hold you?
I dream of you a thousand times
Wishing that you’ll be mine
I want to hold you in my dreams
Make me believe this is true
Yes, I know,
It’s impossible to do
And you’re so far, like
A million miles away
I write your name on a wind
That I always used to do
You are the color of love
The star, the sun, the moon
I will keep this fantasy
Because in my one and only imagination
You’re a dream that may never become true
A million miles away from me
Wish that you ‘d be here
So as to hear the sweet melodies
Like voices of sweet angels
That echo in silence of obscure nights
Even the stars whisper in a mellow tune
And the world singing of the love I know
But, still I don’t know how
To grab a chance to be with you
Cause you’re so far
A million miles away from me

A Million Miles From Home
There's a distant radio station
Way, way out there...
Plays in my mind, all the time,
Native American,
Western song and rhyme-
Sounds of a voice calling
From a true old friend,
Whispering wind
Blown in from heaven
Persistently pushes through me
Alluring awe and
Beckoning beauty...
God,
I feel a million million
Miles from home.
And very often a way out there
In the desert
So all alone,
It causes me,
More than anything else,
To seek You.
This desert so stark and so real
My soul feels the wind
As it touches the pure sky of blue.
And still-always it seems-
I'm a million miles from Home.
It's why I can't stay still,
Following the spirits will.
I travel with nothing more
Than what I wear,
Old worn boots
Faded jacket
Hat for shade
Canteen for thirst,
I'll trust the love of strangers
With food to share,
I've no earthly roots
No place to stay and sit
Memories wander and fade
As I continue to seek
The Last and the First.
And still-always it seems-
I'm a million miles from Home.
I feel it all so deep
In my weary bones.
Will I ever make it?
Does the wind-spirit lead me there?
Blind I look,
Deaf I listen...
Only my heart seems to truly understand
I've nowhere else to go,
Whether a million miles away
Or a million days
I will continue searching throughout this land
Until I find I know,
What yet I do not know.

Homesick At Space Camp
Landing on a runway in Chicago
and I'm grounding all my dreams of ever really seeing California
because I know what's in between
is something sensual in such non-conventional ways
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.
Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away.
Tonight is all about "We miss you."
And I can't forget your style or your cynicism
somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said
My smile's an open wound without you
And my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.
Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away.
Tonight is all about "We miss you."
These friends are, new friends are golden.

Bring Back The Memories
Baby you were in my
Dream
We were walking down
The street
Baby I heard in a melody
Its like a blast from the
Past
Let our story take us back
To the way that it used to
Be
Back to bobbys house and
Then my house
The asking whats your name
Pledging my love over soda pops
And loving you more and more
Everyday
Let the dj play that special
Song again
Lets bring back the memories
Hey there lonely girl
Ill be your duke of earl
Cause thats how it used to
Be
I keep thinking how it must
Have been
It wasnt so long ago
Everything was so simple then
When I loved you with all me
Heart and soul
In the book of love
Were a million to one
Lets bring back the memories
My earth angel
Leave a story to tell
Lets bring back these used to bes
I can make up each and every scence
Ill do-wop and then laugh at me
And Id like to rewrite my whole
Story
With you by my side
In the still of the night
I want to know that youre mine
So bring back those memories
Bring back those memories
Were a thousand miles away
Bring back the memories
Earth angel
Earth angel
Will you be mine
Bring back the memories
Bring back the memories

Counting Down The Days
You were right
And I dont wanna be here
If your gonna be there
Was that supposed to happen
Ill hold tight
Ill remember to smile
Though it has been a while
And without you does it matter
Theres no room
No place to start
When our souls are apart
I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
Im counting down the days tonight
I just wanna be a million miles away from here
Im counting down the days
Howve you been
Its just the usual here
And days are feeling like years
And every days without you
Now I cry
Just a little too much
When I think of your touch
And everything about you
I feel cold
Im in the dark
When our souls are apart
I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
Im counting down the days tonight
I just wanna be a million miles away from here
I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Hold you so tight
Im counting down the days tonight
I just wanna be a million miles away from here
Im counting down the days
Im counting down the days
Im counting down the days
Im gonna be your surprise
Im gonna hold you so tight
Yeah
I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Id hold you so tight
Im counting down the days tonight
I just wanna be a million miles away from here
I wanna travel through time
See your surprise
Id hold you so tight
Im counting down the days tonight
I just wanna be a million miles away from here
A million miles away from here
