Small Talk And Pride
We never really had the chance to let each other know
We never really had the time to let our feelings show
Small talk kept us goin', when the only words to say
Were "how I long to hold you", pride locked the words away
I never had the confidence to think that you could care
I never looked into your eyes to see if love was there
I talked it over with myself and silently agreed
Your heart was in a high place, unreachable to me
Chorus:
I waited too long for a sign from you, reached for a line that you never threw
Small talk and pride kept us from gettin' together
Now there's never a day you're not on my mind
Sayin' the words we could never find
Small talk and pride took you from my life forever
I'll never hold the cards again, to win I love so real
I know I'd gamble everything, but mistress Fate won't deal
I just have to be content to learn by my mistakes
Our hearts were just a breath away, now they're far enough to break
chorus

Loraine
Hold me
Long enough to tell me
What you told me
Long ago
Before you got to know me
Only when lovers try
They learn to talk it out
To keep their love alive
Thats the only way, I say,
That love survives
Its time we try
Chorus:
Loraine
Wont you show the way
Hearts that bend wont break
When they learn to face the truth now
Show me how
Loraine
I know you feel the same
Hold me now
I dont know what to say
Im so in love with you
Loraine
Talk to me
Isnt that the way it ought to be?
But whatss the use if we end up a memory
Remembering our honesty
I always thought thats what you want of me
But now the truth has made you turn your back on me
Oh, cant you see
Chorus then bridge:
Ive got to find a way
I beg you babe
I need to hear you say
You love me
If I have the chance
I wont let you go
Ill stay by your side
Ill be lovin you darlin
And for all of my life
I will let you know
Youre my only love
Just believe in me darlin
Look in my eyes
I swear this is true
I you want it
You got it
I promise you loraine
Repeat chorus to fade
I swear I love you
I always will
This kind of feeling never came to me until loraine

Small Talk
Dont talk back to me, dont talk back to me
Dont talk back to me, dont talk
Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view
Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without
I would be amazed if you returned to see things my way
Now that youve been disrespectful to my sense of pride
Isnt it a shame that you were lying when you said to me (small talk)
I was the only one, you and I were meant to be
I expect youll never really feel the way that I do
All of this is with regret, Im sure you will agree
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk, small talk, small talk, small talk
You say I dont talk enough, that applies to both of us
Dont try to sound me out, something I could do without
So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder
Have you heard enough to know, theres nothing left to say
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk
Small talk
Ooh small talk
Thats all I ever hear
Small talk
Ill be alright
It may take sometime
But Ill be alright (dont talk back to me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (dont want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (try hard to understand, you wont seem to lend a hand)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (without youll fail to see, you never spare a thought for me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (so many things you said, going round in circles)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (Ill rise above it all, enough to see another day)
Ill be alright
Ill be alright
Dont talk back to me...

Small Talk
Its not the chapters he reads when youre feeling low down
Its not the touch of his skin when you kiss him goodnight
Its not the money he spends when you want to buy a daydream
And not that miracle smile that makes the sky bright
Its not the way his hands behave
When youve turned out the light
Its the small, small small talk that makes it all happen
Small, small small talk that makes you want to fly, yes it does
Its not the way he believes in you like a religion
Its not the thrill that you get when hes holding you tight
Its not the way his eyes persuade
You to stay the night
Its the small, small small talk that makes it all happen (just like that)
Small, small small talk that makes you feel like flying, yes it does
Information, heart and soul, a whisper, a word
Confessions that have to be heard
Small small talk
Come on now, come on now
Come on - you make it rock so heavenly
Come on now, come on now
Come on - you seem to talk so heavenly
Big words...
Small talk...
Its not the way his eyes persuade
You to stay the night
Its the small, small small talk that makes it all happen
Small, small small talk that makes you feel like flying, yes it does

Can't We Just Sit Down
Cold and lonely night, you don't have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
Such a shame that you and i should have to end like this
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Surely you can ask the better way
Strange that you're the one so set on leaving
And i'm the one who said last night that it was all too late
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and i can talk it out
Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it's gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still,
Who was wrong, who let who down
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and i can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and i can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and i can make it right
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Evidence Of Love
Evidence of love(chris farron, steve diamond)
When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And theres nothing as loud as the words
That we never say
Look at us now
Standing on the edge again
Its not too late to try again
I need some...
(chorus)
Evidence of love
To keep on going
Show me some evidence of love
And Ill be here
I still believe we can see this through
Theres only so much I can do
And it doesnt make sense
Without some evidence of love
Theres a frozen look on your face
Is it saying good-bye
cause theres nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me now
Tell me what youre missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...
(chorus)
Stand and fight
Gotta say whats on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
Heres a chance to make it right
Talk to me now
Tell me what youre missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

Talk To My Heart
I found a friend someone to help me
And a place I can be myself when Im in trouble now
Ive lost it and I dont know how
I come to you cause you can show me
Get me back to the me I know with a remedy
Baby I need your therapy
With your healing kiss you know how to make my mind relax
I will listen to the words you say and just lie back
Chorus
Talk to my heart thats where real talkin starts
Words of love that cut straight to my heart
Reach out and touch so few words say so much
I can hear you when you tell it like it is
When you talk straight to my heart
I guess it shows I need attention
Somehow youre asking all the right questions and Ive gotta say
Whats been on my mind these days
And I know you know just how to make my mind react
When its coming straight from you thats my first point of contact
Chorus
Talk to my heart thats where real talkin starts
Words of love that cut straight to my heart
Reach out and touch so few words say so much
I can hear you when you tell it like it is
When you talk straight to my
Im bad at making decisions
But being alone with you just feels so right feels so right
Im losing my inibitions
With every minute I share with you tonight share it with you tonight

Never Say Die
Lyin next to you in the dark
I can feel your beating heart
Youve been here beside me through the test of time
Weve both had our share of doubts
Waited out those ole storm clouds
Boy its nights like this that I know why
Lovers like you and me will never say die
Chorus:
cause theres a long line of folks giving up on love
So many hearts get broken in the push and shove
Ill believe in you for the rest of my life
Baby lovers like you and me will never say die
Tears of joy and tears of pain
Tears say more than words explain
Theres no need for words here tonight
Weve both felt each others power
A tender touch in the wee small hours
Is strong enough to hold us for a lifetime

To Be With You
Hold on little girl
show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
CHORUS:
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile

Paradise
Let me tell you this
Your love I can't resist
I just start to fantasize
Every time I look into your eyes
I want to laugh and talk
And say the words you long to hear
I want to fill you up with so much love
The real world will just disappear
Chorus: let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Let me be your guide
On a magic carpet ride
To a place where love is pure
And our passions can endure
I want you to close your eyes and realize
A world for two
I want you to hear me whisper in your ear
I want to make love to you
Let me take you to a place I call paradise
Hold you in my arms every day and night
Tell you all the things that I really feel
Show you that my love is for real
Let me take you to paradise
Take you to paradise
Do you want to go?
Don't? you want to know?
About a real love
Give me just some time
You'll like what you find
I know
It's so plain to me
We were meant to be
I want to show you baby
We'll unlock all of life's Mysteries
And realize how great our love can really be
Let me take you to paradise

Obstacle 2
I'm gonna pull you in close gonna wrap you up tight
gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell
because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
i feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
I think he's making something special and I'm smart enough to try
if you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day
well you should trust in this girl cause loving is coming our way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when i find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time
because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
if you can fix me up girl you'll go a long way
I'll stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
(take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way
(take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on route 7 when I find the right place
(take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
(take my love in these small doses)
in my mind
this is my free time
to break it all away
spend it all today
spend it all today
it took time then I found you
it took time then I found you

Early Works - Feelings
In my mind and heart,
I find joy
knowing you by small words,
but never knowing
the way you feel.
Deep within my thoughts
I ponder
on the question
do your feelings
correspond with ones
my heart and my mind produce,
yet you know
little of my feelings really
for life and fate
has held me out of reach
of your life for so long.
Maybe between the small words
and quiet smiles
I can find a sign
of how your feelings flow.
Yet on the other hand,
if I’ve read things wrong
a one-sided love affair might grow.
So unconsciously in the corridors
where love lies in wait,
I stride cautiously
gaining admiration for you
at a surprising rate.
I must not
fall too quickly
for if I do
the floor might give way
and I shall be hurt
in the fall.
So I tread with caution
overturning each stone as I go.
Upon reaching, the end
there won’t be much I don’t know,
or will there.
I might know all about you
in every detail,
it might be illustrated,
but your feelings
are something only you can tell me.
So with heart and mind
I plunge forward
hoping, wishing, and praying
the right answer I will find.

Chance It
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Chorus:
Chance it and stay with me
Chance it , share the the love I want to give
Chance it, you can always change your mind
Chance it, dont be so unkind
Let me pull you into my mind
Believe in me and set me free
Chase the love I hold inside
Rise above me, make love with me
Do you own the power to love?
Deep inside, forget your pride
Do you know the feeling is true?
Well if you do, its something new
Chorus
I can take you where youve never been
Ooh, connect with me
Lets up and run away
Ahhh, stay with me

How long will you hide behind
Those steely eyes?
Throw the barriers aside
And hold me tight

Every light shines on you tonight
Making a fool out of me
Why wont this love leave me alone
All of the people in this smoky room
Crowded with faces I know
I feel them watching me watch you

Say the words
Say the words
Say the words
Say the words so I can leave its over
Your eyes are deeper
They are worthy of many words
But none I can conjure up will do for you
I shouldnt see you
cause I know my own motivation
Its taking too long for this love
To leave me alone

Sidewalk Talk
Watch where you walk 'cause the sidewalks talk
And you can't keep a secret from the ground beneath you
Step very lightly on the earth below
Or before you know it everyone will know
Streets were paved with a thousand eyes
And try as you may you can't disguise
There's only two things that you can't hide from
That's you and the ground you're walking on
Chorus:
Watch where you walk, 'cause the sidewalks talk
You better watch what you do, what you do
'cause the sidewalk talk can get carried away
You better watch what you say, what you say
Think when you speak 'cause you gotta 'long the street
They can read what you say so you gotta stay away
From words that sting, words are not true
And the things you say make a fool of you
Little white lies make the sidewalk cry
And you can betray with the things you say
Words won't last when you say 'em too fast
And you've been mislead by the things you've said
(chorus)
Intermediate:
When you're living on the street
Life can be full of misery
Find a place to call your own
Make your heart into a home
You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it
After every word there's a place that heard
Every time your shoe hits the avenue
And when you've gone they'll sing a song
Of the stories you told when you felt so bold
You better think twice when you cross the ice
Everything you do comes back to you
When you're shedding a tear sidewalks will hear
When your laughter's true they'll run with you
(chorus)

You can do it, uh huh
(repeat 3 times)
You can do it

Dont Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes

I Miss You
[ I know if you could hear me you would
Say there are always two sides of a story
Youre so right, heres mine
I cannot live without you ]
Love was never easy,
But leaving you was hard,
And time didnt heal my wounds at all
I wonder, if you know what Im going through
All the lonely times that were apart
Chorus:
I miss you, oh I miss you
Im gonna need you more and more each day
I miss you, more than words can say
More than words can ever say
Saying sorry was a question of my pride
Pride can push aside a loving heart,
In the end emotion has ruled my mind
And Im asking for a second start

Mean, but I know, every day
When a man does wrong
I know I miss you ]

Love Dont Love You
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
Verse 1:
You said youd always be there
You said youd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I cant control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that somethings wrong, yeah
The more that I fight with you
The more I realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (its got to be you, baby)
Love dont love you, love dont care (not love, baby)
Verse 2:
I thought I never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead I was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will I ever learn
Cant blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (love dont love you)
Love dont love you, love dont care (got to be you)
Love dont love you (love dont care about you, no way, no way, no way)
Love dont care no way
Bridge:
You see it takes a fool to learn
That love dont love nobody (got to be you)
But Ive learned
That love dont love me
And it sure cant love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Dont just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me
You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
Im gonna be there for you
Love dont love no one
And it sure dont care
Love dont love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby

Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care

Holding Out For Love
Why does that restless part of me always see
Did I know love wouid show
And Id find the passion I need
Look up ahead
All I see are worlds apart
Broken hearts
Looking for something more
Some magic they might feel
Chorus:
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaming of
Thats why l hold on
Hoiding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
You know we take those twists and turns
Never learn
Goin on
Takes so long to find all the passion we need
Look what we have
Dont wanna be two worlds apart
Loving hearts stay live
Strong survive
Just matters what we both feel
Chorus:
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaminng of
Thats why I hold on
Holding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
I watch the time go by
I swear now baby i...
Have never been so sure in my heart
So close to my dreams

Thats why I hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaming of
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
One lonely heart waiting

Words At Twenty Paces
Words and music by hugh moffatt
Just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
A shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
Wont we ever stop this killin, me and you, till our hearts are up on boot hill and theres nothing we can do?
Chorus:
Words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
This house aint big enough for both of us. its comin soon.
Well finish off our happiness and run hope out of town.
With words at twenty paces, lord, its love were gunnin down.
Bridge:
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share, the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
Sometimes you words cut like a bullet in my side.
Oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?
Ive got my ammunition. I know youve got yours too.
We know each others weakness; lord, the damage we can do.
Why cant we just step aside and put our guns away?
Let love come like the cavalry: ride in and save the day?
