Other Items of Interest:

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply.
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

Chorus
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much,
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride.
But through the insecurity, some tenderness survives.
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths;
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth.

Chorus

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees.
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly.

At times I understand you, and I know how hard you've tried.
I've watched while love commands you, and I've watched love pass you by.
At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend,
A brother or a sister. But then the passion flares again.

Chorus

I just could not find the lyrics for this song.

And I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worth will

Don't you know that love is like a thread
That keeps unraveling in bed
It ties us back together in the end

In your eyes
I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes
I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes
I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes
We're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

And you warned me that life changes
And that know one really knows
Whether time will make us strangers
Or whether time will make us grow

Ohh, even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all, our love will still remain

In your eyes
I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes
I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes
I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes
We're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

In your eyes
I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes
You and I
We're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more

I just could not find the lyrics for this song.

Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real,
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life,
You are the reason, I survived

Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.

Can I hold you?
Girl, your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside

Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.

You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true
You know, it's true
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you!

Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old,
Waiting for my daddy to come home,
And now I look into the eyes of my own son,
Wondering what he's thinking of,
Waiting at the window when I come home.
Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.
He reaches out his tiny hand;
I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.

Memories of my mom cryin', my daddy gone for weeks at a time,
Not knowing how to comfort her,
Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear.
Now I write this letter to my little boy.
I'm far away, not knowing really what to say
Except, "I'm sorry, oh so sorry."
I don't want to make these same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Boy, protect your mom."

Memories of my wife cryin' on the phone
Wonderin' when I'm coming home.
My voice sounds detached and cold,
Reminds me of someone that I knew;
He had a funny attitude
When I needed him to be
All the things only a daddy could be to me.
And I don't want to make the same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Not now, I'm busy son."

Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son,
Overwhelmed by so much love,
Tryin' to explain how a man can cry
Yet still be happy,
Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made.
Now I understand my father's pain;
He did the best with what he knew.
I love you daddy.
I watched my son fall asleep
And wonder what he'll think of me
When years from now he sees his son
Reachin' out his tiny hands for love.

I see your face cloud over like a little girls
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind
I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me

So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride

I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside

Every time the phone rings I pray it might be you
That you thought out all the answers
Wanna get back together again
Oh but a strangers voice rings thru my ears
And though I listen you are all I hear
And girl I didn't mean to drive you away
People come and go so fast
But all I see is your face

There's an old man on the corner
Just staring at the sea
I wanna hold him like a broken doll
Ask him if he's lonely like me
The waves crash like a violent dream
The mist flies and the seagulls scream
And the old man he sees nothing just stares into space
And me all I can see is your face

Now I know there are no promises in love
You've gotta give it all you have
And hope that maybe you can share
Maybe you can share your life with someone
A Stranger touches me and all I can feel
Is your embrace
A stranger looks my way
And all I ever see is your face

I've got my songs to protect me
I've got my friends to ease the pain
They say time will heal this emptiness
Girl without you it ain't the same
I don't see any stars tonight
Just the darkness of the city lights
I close my eyes once more and try to escape
And all I can see is your face

Do you believe in the healing power of love, or is it just a fantasy?
Do you believe in the power from above? I feel it between you and me.
And I don't have to look in your eyes to know
There's something going on here that's out of our control
This is happening too fast for us to fight.

There's a healing power (healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).
There's a new horizon shining between you and me.
When you slip your hand in mine, I feel the rub of the healing power of love.
(healing power)

And we got nothing but love to pull us through,
Love and compassion (ooh, love and compassion),
But in this desperation world nothing else will do.
Oh, we can make it happen (only we can make it happen).
And you don't have to say a word, I understand (I am yours only).
When you lay down, your love lasts forever (waiting forever).
You will always be my woman, and I will be your man.

There's a healing power (healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).
There's a new horizon shining between you and me.
When you slip your hand in mine, I feel the rush of the healing power of love.

Deep in the night, when we're so alone, I swear I feel the power that's
greater than our own.
And how a love unfolds as we tumble through the darkness to the great unknown.

There's a healing power (there's a healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).
There's a new horizon shining between you and me.
When you slip your hand in mine, I feel the rub of the healing power of love.

There's a healing power (there's a healing power), it's so deep in us.
In the darkest hour (the darkest hour) there's a healing power of love.
There's a healing power (there's a healing), I can feel it now.
In the darkest hour (the darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).
There's a healing power (there's a healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).

Fourteen today, and you went dancing.
Music mixed with laughter, and boys can be so immature.
They made you drink a bit too much,
Everything's a blur to feel and touch.
Did he really like you? Well, how can you be sure enough?

Twenty-three today, and all your friends are getting married.
You say they're so scared of being alone,
So self-righteously you march through teachers' college.
Still so much in life you gotta get to know,
Seems like everybody's so content to move so slow.

And when you think you've got your life so well-controlled, it slips away.
And the years, like raindrops falling from your life, are washed away,
washed away.
And you're so brilliant, you're so gifted, so sensitive, so strong,
As you hide behind your barricade of words,
But no one got close enough to you to have ever heard.

I met you at a party.
You were drunk and full of world advice, and I was getting nervous.
And you said you had a child who was a genius,
And you smiled as the living room transformed into your circus.

Someone whispered you were 39 today,
A face so young, eyes so old. You collapsed into the corner
Like somebody up on verbs, you near seduced me with your verbs as I reached
out for you,
You said over and over,
"Oh, when you think you've got your life so well-controlled, it slips away.
And the years, like raindrops falling from your life, are washed away,
washed away."
And you're so brilliant, you're so gifted, so tragic and so wrong,
As you hide behind your barricade of words,
But you know, no one got close enough to you to have ever heard.

Children come home from school, shout and laugh with all their life.
Shut them out fast before you think of the past, turn out all of your lights.
Go to bed, go to sleep, don't think, don't feel as the nighttime owns a
prayer.
But maybe somewhere deep inside there's some meaning aching to be shared.

Fourteen today, and you were dancing

So you flung your fist high in the air
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed
Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
When you're fighting for your life
Just to survive

It's then you've gotta

Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream
When you're so da**ed scared of failure
When the world's burned out it's saviors
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream

It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Or else you'll fade
