All Time High
All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two.
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with
love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move
as one.
We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone
before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight
begin.
I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these
words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you
they're true.
We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone
before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight
begin.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time
high
Bird On The Wire
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a
knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons just for you
And if I have been unkind,
I hope that you will let it go by.
And if I
have been untrue
I hope you know it was not to you.
Like a baby,
stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out
for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all all I have done wrong
I
will make it all up all up to you
I saw a beggar man leaning on his wooden
crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman
leaning in her darkened door,
she cried after me, "Hey, why not ask for
more?"
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have
tried in my own way to be free.
Oh, I have tried in my own way to be free
To be free
Higher And Higher
Your love is liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted
before
Your love is liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted
before
So Keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forever
more
Now once, I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But you came, he soon departed
And he never showed his face again
Oooooh, I'm so glad I finally found you
Your that one in a
million man
When you wrap your lovin' arms around me
I can stand up and
face the world again
Your love is liftin' me highter
Than I've ever been lifted
before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forever
more
I Don't Want To Talk About It
I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'ly been cryin'
forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a
little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh, oh my
heart
If I stand all alone will the shadow hide the color of my heart
Blue
fall the tears, black fall the night's fears
The stars in the sky don't mean
nothin' to you they're a mirror
I don't wanna talk about it how you broke my
heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you
listen to my heart
Oh, oh my heart
One Fine Day
One fine day
You`ll look at me
And you will know our
love was
Meant to be
One fine day
You`re gonna want me for your girl
Those arms I long for
Will open wide
And you`ll be proud to have me
Right by your side
One fine day
You`re gonna want me for your girl
Though I know you`re the kind of boy
Who always wants to roam around
I`ll
keep waiting and someday Darling
You`ll come to me when
You want to settle
down, Oh
One fine day
We`ll meet once more
And then you want the loving
I`m waiting for
One fine day
You`re gonna want me for your girl
The Hungry Years
Girl we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't
stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
Two of us together
building castles in the air
We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold
ring from the carousel
How could we know the right would turn out bad
Everything we wanted, was everything we had
I miss the hungry years
The
once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those
days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind
Not
to see the door
Closing on the world
I now hunger for
Looking
through my tears
I miss the hungry years
We shared our day dreams one by
one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached the
highest star
Things that we were after were much better from a far
Here
we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing too
It wasn't worth
the price we had to pay
Honey take me home... Let's go back to yesterday
I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We
didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way
How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I
now hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years
I
miss the hungry years
The Jealous Kind
The jealous kind
Don't be angry if I seem blue each time we
meet
Someone that you once knew, that you say used to be so close to you
Is this that I'm so afraid someone might steel away I'd lose my mind
That I
can't help my self the way I feel sometimes I'm the jealous kind.
It was
alright when I first met you I didn't mind
But now the things have changed I'm not the same and now I
fight
I walk through often myself no wanna share you with nobody else
You
must forgive me for the way I act Sometimes I'm the jealous kind
If you only
knew how much it hurts to hear you say
How you can't forgive ever fallen me
for the good old days
Why must you hurt me so I can't take it no more and I
really try
That I can't help myself the way I act Sometimes I'm the jealous
kind.
Don't be angry if I seem blue each time we meet
Someone
that you once knew, that you say used to be so close to you
Is just that I'm
so afraid someone might steel away I'd lose my mind
That I can't help myself
the way I feel Sometimes I'm the jealous kind.
We're All Alone
Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more
on the shore
A dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And and you can be with me
'Neath the waves
through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all
alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do
Lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh, hold
me dear
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
oh-oh, we're all alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Owe it to the wind,
my love
You
I can't remember when I've felt this high
Must be something
special about the way you're loving me tonight
You know that I can't remember
when I've felt this right
Loving you the way I do
Has made me feel like a
shooting star
Shining bright and shining far
And I wonder how I ever got
alone
Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you
I was sitting back and watching my life go by
Until you
came along and picked me up
Oh and now I'm starting out a brand new life
And ev'rything I say and do is all because of you boy
You've given me a new
joy
and I wonder how I ever got alone
Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you
Now I'll never have to sit around and cry no more
Baby ever
since you walked in through my door
And now I know as long as I have you
I'll always know that ev'rything that's good and new
Is all because of you
boy
You've given me a new joy
And I wonder how I ever got alone
Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you
