If It Wasn't For You 04:00

If it wasn’t for you I’d probably be, somewhere in France Dancing my ass off in skin tight pants If it wasn’t for you, I’d be Runnin’ with the bulls in Spain Gettin’ my wild on, and you’re to blame If it wasn’t for you, hey yeah, if it wasn’t for you If it wasn’t for you, I’d pack a bag and go cross country Strapped on the back of someone’s Harley If it wasn’t for you, I’d be a star in some cool movie Doin’ a scene with someone groovy If it wasn’t for you, hey yeah, if it wasn’t for you But we both know, that I’d be lonely That I’d be lost, without you only Wastin’ time and goin’ nowhere I’d be taking that ride, if it wasn’t for you Gotta feel the wind in my hair Wanna know I’m goin’ somewhere movin’ on gettin’ stronger Don’t wanna wait any longer Gotta live as much as I can Gotta be the way that I am Takin’ off like a rocket Livin’ my life in the pocket If it wasn’t for you I’d take a trip, aboard the shuttle Rockin’ in space, doin’ the hustle If it wasn’t for you I just might do something outrageous Like getting naked in Las Vegas But we both know, that I’d be lonely That I’d be lost, without you only Wastin’ time and goin’ nowhere I’d be taking that ride, if it wasn’t for you Gotta feel the wind in my hair Wanna know I’m goin’ somewhere movin’ on gettin’ stronger Don’t wanna wait any longer Wanna feel as light as air Livin’ life without a care Way to go, rise above it This is my life and I love it Gotta feel the wind in my hair Wanna know I’m goin’ somewhere movin’ on gettin’ stronger Don’t wanna wait any longer

Winds are blowin’, seas are rollin’ My body’s heavy as stone You need to shake me, need you to take me Somewhere this birds never flown And if I try and change your mind, don’t listen Cause I’ll be tryin’ all the time You can be certain, my feet are hurtin’ From wearin’ these same old shoes I need to break out, it’s time to take out All that I’ve paid in dues And if I wanna turn around, don’t let me Cause it’s my time to rebound Here I go, down that road Not sure what I will find Here I go, on my own It’s about time, it’s about time, it’s about time It’s a dream of mine That I’m floating through mid air Without space or time I can end up anywhere My heart’s directing, I am connecting To places I’ve never been And when I stall out, I hear you call out I find the courage again So give me everything you can, I’ll take it And let me find out where I stand Here I go, down that road Not sure what I will find Here I go, on my own It’s about time, it’s about time, it’s about time It’s about time, mm, It’s about time, yeah yeah It’s about time

Loveline 03:59
lyrics

There is a man Sitting at home No one comes by Snd nobody phones So he’s all alone Say after day Won’t somebody take the time And send out a loveline There is a child Solemn and gray No light in her eyes And no heart to play So her life goes on Year after year Won’t somebody take the time And send out a loveline Loveline, spend a little time Share a little hope Let somebody shine Loveline, spread a little joy Give a little, get a little love On the loveline A woman cold Sleeps in the street A box for a bed And little to eat People pass right by And don’t even see Won’t somebody take the time And send out a loveline. Loveline, spend a little time Share a little hope Let somebody shine Loveline, spread a little joy Give a little, get a little love On the loveline

My Reality 04:21
lyrics

My door is always open My heart is always hoping That love will find it’s way to me I’m in the mood for sharing Something a little daring Who knows we might fit perfectly We could get together Talk about the weather Nothin’ very clever, let’s just let it be We could take some chances With our circumstances Maybe your advances, will appeal to me This is my reality I might be in for trouble Somethin’ could burst my bubble And ruin my philosophy But now it’s time to wake up I’m taking off my makeup Becoming who I’m meant to be We could get together Talk about the weather Nothin’ very clever, let’s just let it be We could take some chances With our circumstances Maybe your advances, will appeal to me This is my reality Don’t let confusion Keep you from my illusion That someday, I could become your fantasy I better interrupt now Before I say too much now I know it sounds a bit naive But if i play my cards right Maybe you’ll be my white knight So what, if it’s just make believe We could get together Talk about the weather Nothin’ very clever, let’s just let it be We could take some chances With our circumstances Maybe your advances, will appeal to me This is my reality

Put away your armor You don’t need it anymore Throw out your defenses Cause that’s what I’m here for This will be the first time You don’t have to pretend ‘Cause I will be your lover, babe And you can smile again It’s all there in the mirror The life that you’ve been through And all your past relationships Have left you black and blue Take it from a veteran You need time to mend I will be your lover, babe And you can smile again You can smile again While I wrap you in dreams that never end You can smile again Gonna show you that love is worth giving Times you’ve got to shake yourself To make sure this is real And you might ask me questions Cause you’re not sure what I feel But I can reassure you That it’s never gonna end ‘Cause I will be your lover, babe And you can smile again You can smile again While I wrap you in dreams that never end You can smile again Gonna show you that love is worth giving Let it all go, let yourself flow into my waiting arms Let me hold you, let you know that you can You can smile again While I wrap you in dreams that never end You can smile again Gonna show you that love is worth giving

Safe 04:00
lyrics

Safe, where you know your heart can rest Like it was at mama’s breast Where no trouble, or no doubt Can find it’s way, into your house, oh no (safe) Safe, a gentle touch when you’re afraid A friend you know you’d never trade What you need to, make your home A place of peace, to call your own Beyond the reach of hurt and pain Where there’s no room for feeling shame There are no words that can describe (safe, safe) Just what it’s like to feel Safe, where you know your heart can rest Like it was at mama’s breast Where no trouble, or no doubt Can find it’s way, into your house Walking into open arms Knowing you’ll be safe and warm What you need, to make your home A place of peace to call your own Beyond the reach of hurt and pain Where there’s no room for feeling shame There are no words that can describe (safe, safe) Just what it’s like to feel Breathing in and breathing out Feel your feet upon the ground Got no demons at your door But there’s no telling, what’s in store

Old Barn 04:27

Old barn, fallin’ down Tired bones, on the ground Leanin’ up against some big old tree Worn paint, and broken glass Smell of hay, from the past Part of some one else’s history Old barn reminding me Of an old time simplicity Life rolled along like it was meant to be Old folks just sittin’ there Takin’ in the talk and the cool night air Good enough for them, it’s good enough for me Old boards and rusty nails Spider webs and woven veils And way out back old blue is laid to rest Light shines through open doors No one there doin’ chores Just a bird that’s workin’ on it’s nest Old barn reminding me Of an old time simplicity Life rolled along like it was meant to be Old folks just sittin’ there Takin’ in the talk and the cool night air Good enough for them, it’s good enough for me You’ve seen ‘em all, come and go The old ones die and young ones grow And you just watch it all from year to year Seems to me, the more things change The more they just remain the same Old barn reminding me Of an old time simplicity Life rolled along like it was meant to be Old folks just sittin’ there Takin’ in the talk and the cool night air Good enough for them, it’s good enough for me

I fill the night with my tears Wishing and waiting for you to be near me I keep pretending you’re here Loving you, hoping that your arms will hold me Don’t run away, stay by my side We will be lovers tonight Cause you are love, you are love to me You are in all my dreams You are all I see You are my destiny, forever I turn to see if you’re there Needing you, wanting to reach out and touch you My arms are cold and so bare My life is lonely and empty without you Don’t run away, stay by my side We will be lovers tonight Cause you are love, you are love to me You are in all my dreams You are all I see You are my destiny, forever Am I just a fool Dreaming like a kid in school Letting my emotions run away I don’t know what’s real All i know is what I feel And what I feel is that I want you to stay Cause you are love, you are love to me You are in all my dreams You are all I see You are my destiny, forever

Now that I need you, you are there Now that I feel you, I know where Just when I’m falling You’re there to catch me Now that you have me, I can see Now that I found you, I’m so high When I’m around you, I can fly Just when I’m soaring I feel you lifting Love is the ceiling, over me Dancing me around by my heart Never want to stop Once I start letting go Of everything and then You’re there to catch me Now that we’re floating in mid air Now that we’re touching everywhere Just when I’m searching You’re there to guide me When you’re beside me, I am free Dancing me around by my heart Never want to stop Once I start letting go Of everything and then You’re there to catch me Now that we’re floating in mid air Now that we’re touching everywhere Just when I’m searching You’re there to guide me When you’re beside me, I am free, free, free

Too Late To Take Me Home 03:37

Too late to take me home I’m insecure, I don’t know why Too late to take me home I know you are a special guy Too late to take me home We could have some conversation Like the older generation And my house is so nearby Too late to take me home To tell the truth, I cannot lie Too late to take me home I’ve got my wings, but I can’t fly Too late to take me home Though my heart is on the ceiling I keep holding back the feeling ‘Cause you see i’m just to shy I know, that you know what it’s all about We don’t have to hide All the fears we have inside Loving and knowing Never any doubt We will find our way Growing up everyday Too late to take me home I have to live inside of me Too late to take me home What you get is what you see Too late to take me home There is no room for pretending We can have a happy ending If we just can let our hearts go free
