The Last Letter
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Sitting alone up in your empty room
In the stillness of the night
Where all the many dreams that used to carry you
Are no longer in sight
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free to be complete
But, youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
All the love you need is just a prayer away
Let it in to where you are
Youve made it to the edge of seventeen
Thinking now youve reached the end of the line
But theres so much of life that you have never seen
Now you wont have the time
You say that you dont hear the music play
So youre ready to give up the dance
Now that nothing really matters anyway
Oh, you give up your chance
But do you know that you give up your chance
At a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free--to be complete
But youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
Jesus is waiting just a prayer away
Let him in to where you are
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime
Chorus

When Lovers Become Strangers
Youre looking at him across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
Youre looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday
Dont remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You know its over, youve got to say goodbye
Chorus:
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
Its such a shame, when you dont know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared
Are all thats still there
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
You cant seem to find the right words to say
And its too late for talking now anyway
Theres no one to blame its just not the same
And its never gonna be the same again no
So youre trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feelings gone
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
Youve got to let go of something youve loved so long
Chorus
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, dont cry, dont cry
Though its tearing you apart inside
Its such a shame, its such a shame
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You got to let go, youve gotta say goodbye

I Wish That I Could Tell You
(anthony jerome martin, van stephenson, reese wilson)
How do you tell someone youre letting go
I wish that I could tell you
But youre asking me things that I dont know
I wish that I could tell you
The words that I would say
Sound as empty as the way you feel inside
While the silence in between
Tells me everything that you deny
I dont know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
I dont know how you leave it all behind
I wish that I could tell you
Is it true a heart heals itself with time
I wish that I could tell you
How do you choose
Do you hurt em with the truth or with a lie
Where do you go to find the courage
You know I could never find
I dont know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
Where do you turn, where do you go
When youve finally reached the end of the road
How do you say it I just dont know
When it comes to leaving youre on your own
How do you tell someone youre letting go
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you

Poison
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Spoken:
Dont worry about me, baby
Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone
Darlin dont deny it, or make excuses
Ive heard too many lies, to know that Im not wrong
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus:
Keep youre body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
Youre poison
Cant you you see Im far to tough to let it hurt
Ive had enough of your poison
Dont lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
Youve stained the love I gave you
Baby, not for long
So much I could have given you
But now youll never know
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus
Got bad habits on your mind, youre underhanded
Im not blind to your poison
Spoken:
Dont make me laugh, youve told so many lies
And of all the lies you told me, baby, youre the biggest
You think youve hurt me
Im far too strong to let it get to me
Cant you see that Im not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone

Dont Say Goodbye
(stock/aitken/waterman)
Dont say goodbye, girl (goodbye, girl)
Dont make me cry, girl (cry, girl)
cos I love you (love you)
Used to have such fun
Used to have good times
But now those days are gone
Used to have it all
Used to get on fine
But things just went wrong
Used to be in love
Thought we had it made
But everything has changed
We just grew apart
No one is to blame
** woh, time has made us strangers
Maybe we cant go on
But if love can take the changes
* dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
We could go along
Saying things were fine
But were just fooling ourselves
Maybe we should
Talk it out right now
And put things on the line
Everyone in love
Goes through times like these
Its just part of the game
I remember
I used to call your name
Woh, things dont have to be this way
Love is the answer now
Maybe we could start again today
(* repeat)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
(** repeat)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
cos youre my girl
I couldnt live without you, no
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
I want to spend my life with you
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)

Going Under
I hear the door slam shut, so I know that youre home
Youve been out all night, Ive been here alone
And Ive been wondering if youre the same person I knew
The bright lights that shine in your eyes, they make me blind
I hear a footstep on the stairs so I know that youre near
Youve returned from pursuing your nocturnal career
And I dont ask where youve been, with who, or if theyre your friend
cause I dont really want to know right now, I dont know when I will again
Chorus
Going under, drifting down, going under
And I know youve still got a ways to go down before
We can rise back up into the light
Were going under, drifting down...
I hear you coughing in the hall so I know youre all right
It will be morning soon, through the gloom I see daylight
But in this room right now I am alone, I am unsure
I dont know what you feel anymore and it scares me so

Dont Look Back
Time to walk away
Youve run out of things to say
Everything ends up the same old story
You dont know where love went
But nothings making sense
You both know you cant fake it anymore
Dont look back hell see you cryin
Dont look back on love thats dyin
Make believe your heart is made of stone
Dont look back into his eyes
Youve already said goodbye
Its over now; youve got to let him go
Hes the one you love
But sometimes love is not enough
Its too complicated to explain
No you never will forget
But youll get over it
Someday just sweet memories will remain
So dont look back; dont break your will
Dont look back at him until
Youre far enough to let your feelings show
Dont look back into those eyes
Youve gone back so many times
Its over now youve got to let him go
Theres a time for everything including leavin
Theres a time the heart admits defeat
And starts its grieving

After The Love Goes
Its been a year since I last saw mary
When she said goodbye
She casts a spell on my intention
Thats the reason why
Im taking my thought from a bottle lately
And breaking them up in my mind
All my problems they dont look pretty
Oh but its no surprise
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Bright lights of memphis
Sounds like a real good time
But I lost my heart and my money
Honed like cherry wine
But I dont remember the church bells ring
Thru the day or the night
But I kept my soul on my own
Not without a fight
Well its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy way
Its been a while since I last saw mary
Wipe a tearful eye
Well I remember I first saw mary
Saying her last goodbye
Breaking it up from a bottle lately
And making it up in my mind
But all my problems, they dont look pretty
Ooh thats the bottom line
Its so hard
To take what youre given
Well its so hard
To give what youve got
After the love goes
Here I go
Theres no easy road

Feelin Blue
Chorus:
You wont be half a man if you cry
So cry
But you dont cry
You dont cry
You hear my knocking at your door
Why dont you open it?
Dont be a fool
I know that youre feelin blue
I guess youve never felt before
Youre starin at your white, white wall
And nothings like it was last night
I guess youve never felt before
Youre starin at your white, white wall
And nothings like it was last night
You wont be ... wont be half a man

Feelin blue ... feelin blue

Preserve the pearl and youll fall deep down
If you cannot swim you have to drown
In the world a sea, a sea so blue
So take my hand and free yourself
Just let go theres nothing else
You need as much as trusting arms boy

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
[repeat chorus]
Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Dont matter if youre black
Dont matter if youre white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

Youre My Drug
You take me to heaven from deeper than hell ever dug
And you fly me higher than a trip on a magical rug
Confessions unravel
You bang with your gavel
And here I stand guilty
In a court where you are the judge
Youre the drug
Youve got to come on round and pick me up
Youve my drug
And I dont ever know if I can give you up
Well you bring me colour where once I had just black and white
Now I have rainbows appearing round here in the night
Our true loving is growing
And passion is flowing
Well I dont need any cigarettes or beer from a jug
Youre my drug
Youve got to come on round and pick me up
Youre my drug
Well you can slow me down or quick me up
Youre my drug
Well you can spill me down and lick me up
Youre my drug
And I dont ever know if I can give you up

Have You Ever Loved Somebody
(hicks / clarke / nash)
You say that you want me and now that youve got me youre gone
Think what youre doin or else youll regret what youve done
Dont come back tomorrow and say what we did wasnt right
Youll cry on your pillow and find it hard to sleep at night
Have you ever loved somebody
Dont you know just what its like
Hurting someone that youre close to
Have you ever loved all night all night
Remember what happened the last time that you said goodbye
Remember the saying that once bit and Ill be twice shy
Its no use me crying there is no denying its right
When thinking has ruined the feeling that we had to fight
Chorus
If you hear people talking now
Will you laugh or cry
If you cry Ill sympathize with you
If you laugh Ill die

Schmuck
1) youve got some nerve to tell me to go
Lifes not that simple, you cant make it so
Should we talk about right and wrong
Or why we cant seem to get along
2) life with you felt so alone
Somehow I put you on some kind of throne
And now here Im the one to blame
Does it make it easy, to forget my name?
Chorus -
Well, I cant live on memories, I know that would be wrong
And Im not running from you, you were already gone
Its just some stupid game that we play
Would things change now if I stayed
3) sorry to be the one to drive in the knife
But you took me for granted, like Id settle for such a life
Was I wrong to share a bed
With some loving arms instead?
4) youre miles away when I look you in the eye
Ive cried so hard now Im too tired to even try
Now you say baby come back please,
Dont you remember the way, the way it used to be.
Chorus -
But I cant...
Bridge -
And it hurts too much to see you throw yourself away
I know youve got too many dreams youre too afraid to face
Do you really think you can forget to love yourself
Cause now youve left me with a shell
Of someone that I used to know well
4) that bottle in your lap is so cliche
Youre such a rebel, what else is there for me to say
Has that bottle been your friend?
Cause when I shut this door, you wont see me again
Chorus -
Cause I cant.....

Why do we bring the flow so raw
Make you wanna dance so get on the floor

And I can make you satisfied
So if you feel like coming together

Got a super on my chest
Nothing but the very best
What you need and you best believe it
Tell that youre feeling
The hand that Im dealing
Never hear me lack upon a track
Style and whicky whack
But you gotta savour that
A roller coaster ride
Baby come and climb upon a
Ruggedness Ive shown it

I know youve heard it all before (heard it all before)
But if you feel like coming together

Back On The Road

Time to get back on the road
Gonna leave these troubles behind
Time to carry the load
What my life is a true design
You wont reach me by phone
Ill be moving round between the line
Time to get back on the road
Gonna mend this heart of mine
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Cause baby, youre not alone
The love that we shared was grand,
But not enough to keep me still
I hope someday you understand
Music gives my heart, a thrill
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Cause, baby, youre not alone
Since the day that my life began
A band has been my true life plan
Time to get back on the road
Feel the music, take the stand
You are my true love,
Still there will be no one, to take your place
This feeling, I cant erase.
Got to move and have my space
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Baby, baby, carry on
Dont you cry, when I say goodbye
Cause, baby, youre not alone

The Best Thing You Ever Had
(yeah, blues!)
I wont ask where youre going
If you dont ask where Ive been
cause if youre looking for an answer, babe
I wouldnt know where to begin.
I dont know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
Youve got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside
If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on
Chorus #1:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
Ill show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I aint finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
You know a little bout love and
I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate
But this wont be the first time that
We didnt see eye to eye
You may not be religious but Ill make you see god
If you give me a try
I know love can get me through it
If you give me that look well get down to it
Chorus #2:
Dont shoot me down
Im not a social disease
Youve got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
Ill teach you baby
bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it aint so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had
Solo
Ah, give me some of that!
When I put out the dog
Ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I aint looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head
Im the one to right your wrong
If you give me a chance and Ill turn you on

You need love, but youre afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to ya again

One bad apple dont spoil the whole bunch, boy
Give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple dont spoil the whole bunch, boy

Satisfy you too
But how can I if you wont give me a chance
To prove my love to you?
Wont you give me just one chance?
Ill give you my guarantee that you wont be hurt again

A Little More Love
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Measure for measure
Your loves so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me
And Im so happy
Youre the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time
(you know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I cant understand it
Maybe youve found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do
Looking into your eyes now
I dont see the love we had
I dont see compassion
I dont see anything
(chorus)
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love
And a little more time
I dont see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air
Baby when you hold me
You dont touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby Ill do anything
(chorus)
I can see youre slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
cos baby without you I dont think that I can carry on
