Baby when you walk that way
You know I hear what you say
Then you come over to me
Take my hand tell me it's time to leave
You know I'm putty in your hands
In a way that I don't understand
Tonight it's all about you
Give a lady what she's due
Tonight it's all about you
Gonna do it for you through and though
Baby when you talk that way
You scare me with what you say
When I see that look in your eyes
I know that I should run for my life
Hard as rain or soft as snow
With every touch you've gotta know
You know I'm still putty in your hands
In a way that I don't understand
Tonight it's all about you
Give a lady what she's due
Tonight it's all about you
Gonna do it for you through and though
Tonight it's all about you
Give a lady what she's due
Tonight it's all about you
Gonna do it for you through and through

Under Open Skies
05:20

In the dead of night
Under open skies
With the light from the street
Dancing in her eyes
Something so familiar
Something in disguise
In the dead of night
Under open skies
It's just a scene from a dream
Over in seconds it seems
Like the sea to the shore
It's just the way love flows
Always wanting more
Always time to go
They're always wanting more
It's always time to go
In the light of day
Under open skies
With the tears of the morning
Burning in her eyes
Something so sweet
Within an innocent guise
In the light of day
Under open skies
It's just a scene from a dream
Over in seconds it seems
Like the sea to the shore
It's just the way love flows
Always wanting more
Always time to go
They're always wanting more
It's always time to go
These poems are incomplete
These songs are a one way street
These are things that words can't say
Cause they always get in the way
In the dead of night
Under open skies
A last simmering kiss
to say goodbye
Something so sublime
But how time flies
In the dead of night
Under open skies
It's just a scene from a dream
Over in seconds it seems
Like the sea to the shore
It's just the way love flows
Always wanting more
Always time to go
They're always wanting more
It's always time to go

Anyone Else But You
05:49
|

Everything I say
Everything I do
Either paves the way
or keeps me from what's true
Lost in the dark
Out in the rain
Space is more than miles
This hurts more than pain
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Now I can't see
Anyone else but you
Everywhere I look
Beyond the sun, moon, and stars
Everything it took
To have fallen so far
Looking for a way
To get these tables turned
Trying to put out the fire
Before the whole damn bridge has burned
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Now I can't see
Anyone else but you
Everytime I'm falling down, You
When I scream, but make no sound, you
when the worst of it is coming down
It can't be anyone else but you
Only time will tell
Only deeds can show
What we might as well
Have already known
When the story is told
After the last evening train
I'm so numb from the cold
And cracking from the strain
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
Now I can't see
Anyone else but you
I can't see
Anyone else but you

Always
03:51
|
|||
|
The sun is shining
But the sky is gray
Inside I'm dying
Outside I look okay
What I wouldn't give
To hear your voice
Making a choice
Telling me I'm
The one you love
Now and always
The timing's all wrong
But your kiss is so right
This love could be so strong
If we could only get it in sight
What I wouldn't do
To reach out and touch you
To show you how much you've
Become such a big part of me
Now and always

Better Than Me
04:18
|
|||
|
The little house at the end of the lane
It's hard to laugh when you're in such pain
I don't know if I'll ever see her again
I guess my loss will be his gain
Say what you will but it's easy to see
She's in the place that she needs to be
She'll never know that I'm down on my knees
She'll only know that he's better than me
The days pass as they always do
Morning comes even when dreams don't come true
My friends ask how I make it through
I guess I'm kinda wondering that too
An empty room on a lonely night
A broken man ain't a pretty sight
If I live till the morning light
It'd be the only thing I ever got right
She'll only know that he's better than me

Tell Me
03:42
|

|
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you know is true
Save a kiss for me
Should I make it back to you
All I wanna be
And everything I want to do
Depends on a dream
A good night of sleep
A roll of the dice
Or an angel on the wing
Tell me what you think
Tell me how you really feel
Have yourself a drink
It's time to get really real
You brought me to the brink
But everything I have to deal
Depends on a dream
A good night of sleep
A roll of the dice
Or an angel on the wing
When you think you're in the flow
Sometimes it just don't seem to show
I guess you never really know
Just when it's time to go
Tell me that you know
Tell me that you feel it too
Smile when you go
Knowing that you pulled me through
Win place or show
nothing left for you to do
Depends on a dream
A good night of sleep
A roll of the dice
Or an angel on the wing

Another Day
05:04
|
|||
|
I remember walking in the rain
And calling your name
But it's always the same
This lonely refrain
Seems like I just can't get over you
And this miracle we two
Stumbled onto
The memory I cling to
I don't want to live without your love
I don't want to live without your love
Please don't make me live without your love
Another day
With every day that goes by
You think that I
Would learn not to cry
But try as I might
I once held you so close
I could feel your heartbeat
And now it’s so far from me
The source of my misery
I don't want to live without your love
I don't want to live without your love
Please don't make me live without your love
I can’t believe you have gone
I’ve got to find some way to carry on
I don’t think my arms are that strong
To hold on
How long
Another day
Each night I’m dreaming of you
All of the pleasure
That we once knew
While he’s making love to you
But I keep those memories in mind
And it keeps me warm
Most of the time
Still I wish you were mine
I don't want to live without your love
I don't want to live without your love
Please don't make me live without your love
Another day

She Flies
04:17
|
|||
|
She don't gamble in Vegas
She takes love in stages
She can't be kept in cages
So she flies
She flies
She flies
She looks so pretty dancing
It's really quite enchanting
It makes me start romancing
So she flies
She flies
She flies
In open skies she spreads her wings
A warm embrace and tender things
From somewhere deep a kiss shall spring
Tremble at the touch a woman brings
And she flies
She flies
She flies
You know she understands
She never makes demands
You gotta let her land
Or she flies
She flies
She flies

Lost In Your Eyes
04:05
|
|||
|
I'm lost in your eyes
In the midst of all this madness
Am I living a lie
Dealing with all this sadness
I always hold the blame
For the space that lies between us
I whisper your name
But you're never on that bus
What would I say
If I knew just what to say
What would I do
If I knew just what to do
To get myself back to you
I'm lost in your eyes
Fighting off all this sorrow
Is it just a disguise
That I could shed tomorrow
I always feel the same
I always hold this fear
Trying to fan the flames
Of a fire I hold so dear
What would I say
If I knew just what to say
What would I do
If I knew just what to do
To get myself back to you
I want to be the one
That lives there in your heart
I want to be the one
But I don't know where to start
I want us to be one
But we keep on falling apart
I'm lost in your eyes
Unable to walk away
No matter how hard I try
Can't find the right thing to say
I know I could be a better man
But I get in my own way
I know I could make a stand
If you would let me stay
What would I say
If I knew just what to say
What would I do
If I knew just what to do
To get myself back to you
To get myself back to you

I Like It
04:36
|

|
A dark ally a dirty street
Pretty ladies sleep on satin sheets
An empty house on a summer night
Your silhouette by the candle light
You kept something under your hat
You know I kinda like it like that
A glass of wine or a bottle of booze
A different spirit if you win or lose
All I did was ask you to dance
But you turned it into romance
It hit me hard like a baseball bat
I guess I kinda like it like that
Ooooh I like it
Ooooh I like it
Ooooh I like it
A soft kiss becomes a bite
As the day falls to the night
Not a word that you can say
When it takes your breath away
Don't know why you're being a brat
But you know I like it...I like it like that
Ooooh I like it
Ooooh I like it
Ooooh I like it
