If Leaving Me Is Easy
I read all the letters, I read each word that youve sent to me
And though its past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have start, still remain
Ive kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but Im in a crowd on my own
Its cos youre gone now, but your heart, still remains
And itll be here if you come again
You see, Id heard the rumours, I knew before you let me know
But I didnt believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And thats the one thing that you cant take away but just remember...
If leaving me is easy,
Going back is harder...

I Can't Hide My Heart
(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
When we're in a crowd, I'm sure you've noticed how
I love to look at you (you, you, you)
No, I can't deny, I get hypnotized
When I look at you (look at you, look at you)
Oh, it's the kind of thing, that I can't explain
No matter how I try
It's no mystery, the whole world can see
How I feel inside (feel inside)
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
When we're all alone, oh it's just as strong
When I look at you
Maybe even more, behind these doors
As I'm loving you (loving you)
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
Baby you never will be lonely, as long as I'm alive
You'll always be my one and only, for the rest of my life
Ooooh, ooooh
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
I can't hide my heart (and I can't hide my heart)
It's been that way right from the start
I can't hide my heart
I can't hide my heart

The First Poem
The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
The words I love you
written by this beauty's tongue
turned a heart rosy red from a somber blue
and made me burn for my heart was wrung.
The first poem I ever read
is the first poem I ever said.
On her poetic lips love words refined
and shaped a sonnet on her flesh defined
On those lips I read a poet's song
And knew it was there my lips belonged.
The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
I love you, I love you
What does it mean?
These words said, to start anew
something pure and something serene.
The first words I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
Those first words she whispered into my ear
And in my heart, her poem stood near
Those are the most beautiful words one ever said
I love you, I love you, will live till its dead.
The first poem I ever read
is the first words I ever said.
I read her lips, I love you, I love you..
now to sleep I go in love's sweet bed.

The Love Has Gone
(rick astley/d. spatsley)
The love has gone
The love has gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
Wake up beside you, and hear you breathing
And I can feel you in my arms
No one can know just how Im feeling
Knowing that our love can come to no harm
But as I open my eyes
Then I start to realise
That youre gone and I cant go on
The love has gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
The love is gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
What have I done girl, to make you leave me
Didnt I love you for all those years
If you open your eyes
Baby, then youll realise
That youre wrong, and I cant go on
You know I cant go on
The love has gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
The love is gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
Nothing will ever come between us
If you will just take me back once more
Ill show you just how much I love you
If youll just come walking through that door
The love has gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain
The love is gone, will we ever be the same
The feelings wrong, the joy has turned to pain

I Didnt Have To Leave You
(jill wood)
Remember me
The one who picked up all the pieces, me
The one whos love for you increases everyday
And it wont go away like she did
Remember her
The one who left your heart abandoned, her
Well shes back again and I cant stand it
It hurts cause with her tears all glistening
Shes got you listening to her promises
Well remember this
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to see if I could tear your world apart
And still win back your heart
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I loved you from the start
You know me
I only want whats best for you and Id leave
If you really wanted me to
But if I say that I dont want to stay
It would be right
You know her
And she knows how to get to you
Oh the nerve, shes offering her bed to you
And whats worse
Is that she knows you started over
But she still insists that you owe her one more try
Well I knew
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I didnt have to see if I could tear your world apart
And still win back your heart
I didnt have to leave you to love you
I loved you from the start
I didnt have to leave you to love you

Straight From The Heart
By dickey betts & johnny cobb
Copyright 1981 pangola publishing co
Transcribed by paul gongola
Youve heard every line before
My lifes a revolving door
With no way out and no way in
You know just whats on my mind
Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
Straight from the heart
Baby my love
Your eyes cant tell a lie
I can see what youre feeling inside
Dont give up before we start
cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I know what theyre telling you
I wish I could say that its not true
Love is so hard to find
But I never took the time
I never let you in
Please let me try again
Straight from the heart
Your eyes cant tell a lie
I can see what youre feeling inside
Dont give up before we start
cause this time love is
Straight from the heart
I thought I knew about love
But I didnt know at all
Didnt take the time to see
Until I started to fall
Straight from the heart

Wish I Didnt Know Now
(toby keith)
I never ask you where your goin,
I never ask you where youve been
Ive never called and checked your story,
When you stayed out with all your friends
Ive never tried to catch you lyin,
I didnt want to know the truth
Id rather go on lovin blind girl,
Than go on lovin without you
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Ive always said what I dont know
Couldnt hurt as bad as leavin you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin,
It aint an easy thing to do,
Well I guess I should be goin
I sure found out too much to stay,
Please dont say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends

[regina bell harmonizing while dmx speaks]
What good is it..
For a man to, gain the world..
Yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[bell] God loves you, yes he does
Said youre alright with him
[dmx] I wonder..
Chorus: regina bell (repeat 2x)
I know you never seen him but dont fight with him
Youre gonna make it through the night to the light with him
Uhh, youre alright with him
I said youre alright with him
[dmx]
Im callin out to you lord, because I need your help
See once again Im havin difficulty savin myself
Behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
Im in so much pain when Im here lord, please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work aint done
To live is to suffer, but youre still my son
And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
But there wont be a, his or hers, just ours
Then youll see what Ive been tryin to show you, all these years
Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers
I will, my lord, with my heart, and my soul
Thats gonna be how I roll, from now until Im old
Lead and Ill follow, you take away the sorrow
Ima sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
Chorus
[dmx]
I want you to know lord, that for what youve given me Im thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, Im grateful
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak, they know Im here to teach
Cant tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and lord, Im lovin the touch
But deep inside, Ive got somethin thats workin against
Everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
Thats when you must fight harder, than youve ever fought before
Cause what youve got goin on inside you is a war
Between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
They smile, but are not really happy when they see you
Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
Cause when the time comes, that onell let you die
Listen to me! Im here, but I can only help you
If you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
Chorus
[dmx]
My lord, my saviour, dont judge my behaviour
But instead, take whats in my heart and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I dont know if Ill do good enough (hes by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)
Sometimes I dont know what to do (x, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (itll be alright)
You keep givin me the word, and Ill put it to song
Talk to me, Ill talk to them, and we cant go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my lord, for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there, did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, aint no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too
With the lord behind us, there aint nothin that we cant do
Chorus
[regina bell]
Hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause itll be alright
Yeah, hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, itssssssssss gonna be alright
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss

I Confessed To You
As I read the old love letters,
you sent back to me.
The ones in which I confessed to you
how I wanted our love to be.
I told you in them
how I was sensitive to your touch,
and how I loved you so much.
It was obvious that you
did not feel for me the same way.
You never answered the letters,
but sent them unopened back to me.
Years have now passed
and I kept each and every one.
I dig them out occasionally
and have a good read through,
and then I sit down
and read them to you.
When I wrote them,
there was one thing I did not know.
You could not have read
the letters even if you wanted to.
You were blind and I did not know,
but that never stopped our love.
Now as we grow older together
with each passing day.
Our love grows a little stronger
in lots of different ways.
Those faded old love letters
we keep, as our reminder
love has no bounds.

So They Say
(malik pendelton)
When I think about all the love and fun that we used to have
Theres no doubt that I do miss your touch
And all the good times and the bad
But i, I realize that we were not meant to be
So Ill set you free cause what they say doesnt apply to you and me
Some good things did come to an end
If youre ever down and out of need
I will be right here always, you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though were apart
Even though were apart
Youll always have a special place in my heart
Youll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If its right, itll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
Youve got yours and Ill get mine
People used to say one day you were gonna away
And break my heart in two
But its all in the game of love
Sometimes you win or lose
Do what you gotta do
Cant say I regret that things that I got and didnt get
I knew all alone
Inside I saw all the signs yet and still i
Went along for the ride
Some good things do come to an end
If youre ever down and out of need
I will be right here, always you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though were apart
Even though were apart
Youll always have a special place in my heart
Youll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If its right, itll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
Youve got yours and Ill get mine
So they say
If its right, itll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
Youve got yours and Ill get mine
They say, so they say, so they say
If its right, itll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
Youve got yours and Ill get mine

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
(chorus)
[ maybe Ive said words that really didnt
Mean, but I know, every day
When a man does wrong
I know I miss you ]

Hold Back
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Now when we started - no interventions
I wanted everything with no conditions
You took my love and told it to the world
But now it really changes things
The ring you wear belongs to someone else
Somebody else and my heart keeps saying
Hold back - hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Hold back - hold back your love
Maybe its just the easy way to part
Hold back - hold back (hold back, hold back...)
No denials - no introspection
Im not competing for some true perfection
I wanted something thats fine and thats for sure
And now I wonder how she feels
cos in her heart she knows theres someone else
Somebody else and I hear her saying
Hold back - hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Hold back - hold back your love
Maybe its just the easy way to part
Hold back - hold back
Hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
Hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
(baby...) hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Baby its just a crazy thing
You gotta hold back - hold back your love
(hold back) - hold back your love
(hold back) - you gotta hold back your love
(ooh) you gotta hold back your love
(ooh) hold back your love
Hold back (hold back)

Crime Of The Heart
Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues
Under the surface here lies the unknown
Love has a way of disguising its purpose
Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you
You should have known better than to trust him
How the pain shines through your eyes
Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It breaks you up and it tears you apart
You just want to die, youve been so abused
Now you know how it feels to be used
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
Im such a fool, I should have known from the start
I saw it coming and I feel Im to blame
But love dont give in
I watch your face as you stare into distance
Eyes filled with tears that look so far away
Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance?
Love it just happens theres no-one to blame
You should have known better than to sacrifice
The stained-glass soul you hide
Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
Its the kind of feeling that pulls you apart
Theres no where to run, theres nothing to say
You never knew that you could feel this way
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I could have told you he was wrong from the start
Im not guilty, but I feel Im to blame
My love wont give in
Crime of the heart

How Do You Start Over
M.curb/enders/hemric
How do you start over again?
Tell me, where do you begin?
What does a loser do
When love seems lost?
When bridges are burning
Can they still be crossed?
How do you start over,over again?
How do you begin whats already been?
When love was young,we knew our love would last
But now our dreams are somewhere in the past
And I dont know which way to go
I only know I miss you so
And wish somehow it could be
The way it was with you and me
Remember when
How do you start over,over again?
How do you make love when the feeling is gone?
How do you make wrong right,when right seems so wrong?
Just tell me you love me and then
We can start over, over again

Dance On A Volcano
Holy mother of god
Youve got to go faster than that to get to the top.
Dirty old mountain
All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
So you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
Youre halfway up and youre halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around.
Throw it away, you wont need it up there, and remember
You dont look back whatever you do.
Better start doing it right.
On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didnt make it through.
Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well thats the way the heroes go, ho! ho! ho!
Through a crack in mother earth,
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land.
And the lavas the lover who licks your boots away. hey! hey! hey!
If you dont want to boil as well.
B-b-better start the dance
D-d-do you want to dance with me.
You better start doing it right.
The musics playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light.
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if youre going to cross you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
You better start doing it right.
Let the dance begin.

It Was I
Written by gary paxton.
Youre telling everybody Im the one
To blame for all the wrong that you have done.
The day that you walked out and left, didnt say goodbye.
Who was left alone to sit and cry?
It was i; it was i.
I gave you all the love I ever had,
The only things I got from you were bad,
The times you didnt show up,
The times you didnt call,
Who was left alone with it all?
It was i; it was i.
My love was always yours to treasure and to hold.
If you let a love go by, it will soon grow cold.
Temptation is too strong to hide,
Are you really satisfied
With our love the way it is?
Let me tell you how it is.
Please come back and try to start anew
I know that its the proper thing to do,
Darlin? if we make up
I know well never break up.
Then I know its only me and you,
Me and you.

How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all

How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else

Love Letters
(edward heyman, victor young)
The sky may be starless,
The night may be moonless.
But deep in my heart,
I know that you love me,
You love me, because you told me so.
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while were apart.
Im not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.
~interlude~
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.

Why Did I Break Your Heart
Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when
It took me back to when we found each other
How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart
The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for life, the perfect fusion
But when the love turned sour
I found the happy hour
But drinking for the world is no solution
How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart
Cant we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Why did I break your heart
The cost of loving is a heavy burden
Somebodys gotta take the strain
The things we said would make a cover story
But whos gonna say
Who should take all the blame
We analysed ourselves
It didnt really help
No one to referee, no rhyme no reason
I thought we had the best
But when you flew the nest
My heart decided it was open season
How did I let it start
If I could only remember
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart
Cant we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Oh, oh, why did I break your heart
Why did I break your heart.....

As If You Read My Mind
Close your eyes til the morning
Close your eyes til the early dew
Get inside what youve been missing
Are the very first words that I heard coming from you
Take a chance on the secret
That you hide for beneath your dreams
Use your wildest imagination
You just tell me what it is and I will make it be
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
Lets get high on the happy
With a toast to you and me
Love is here just for the giving
And between us weve got all the love well ever need
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
As if you read my mind
As if you touched my soul
As if you knew exactly where I wanted to go
