A Little Bit Of Everything
(Graham Russell)

How did it happen it was never really clear
I never thought that you and I would still be here
So many nights of love and many more to come
When we would sing together till the song was sung
I don't know when it was my heart began to fly
I don't remember when the music made me cry
We only did what was so natural to do
And all the things you said to me I want to give to you

Chorus:
A little bit of everything, you said you wanted
A little bit of everything, you said you wanted

When all the world was listening to the radio
We had to close our eyes and turn the lights down low
And when that song would play we stared into the light
And when I held you close we fell into the night
Each little note would leave a trail across my heart
And every tear is still a candle in the dark
I don't know how it all began so long ago
It's not for us to understand its only love that needs to know

Chorus:
A little bit of everything, you said you wanted
A little bit of everything, you said you wanted

Like a fleeting dream, when we meet it seems
We are caught in between, and there's only tonight
And this moments feels so right and you are everything in sight



A Place Where We Belong
(Graham Russell)

I'm just a wandering Gypsy
I'll sing for you tonight
And when the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight
And I'll be in the place where I belong

For who will tell the story
Except someone like me
Of tragedy and glory
Of lovers as they walk so blindly
And try to find a place where they belong
We all must find a place where we belong

Everybody knows me
Everyone shows me
And I'll be here when you have gone
For the road to carry on
We all must find a place where we belong

If destiny has spoken
If finally the dawn has broken
We all must find a place where we belong

I'm just a wandering Gypsy
I've sung for you tonight
And now the seats are empty
I'll turn and walk into my spotlight
And I'll be in the place where I belong



After All
(Seth Swirsky)

Night -
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans

You -
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
'Cause you finally understand

Chorus:
That after all
The time you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all

We -
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right

You didn't know -
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight

Chorus

We were young
And you're dreams took you places far from me
I was wrong
To believe
That you'd go
'Cause here you are

Chorus - repeat



Ain't It A Shame
(Graham Russell)

Hit with the bug to run
You didn't go to college we can use you son
You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down

Chorus:
Ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame, ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame

Because I'm too tired to run around
Meeting people from the wrong side of town
Looking for a place to live
I've got no money nothing to give, listen

All you gotta do is look around
For something that's new
Find a job that's stimulating
That's easy and I'm still waiting

Chorus

I've stood in line and done my time
With nothin' to do all day
I've stood in line with all my friends
With nothin' to say all day
I've stood in line and done my time
With nothin' to do all day
I've stood in line with all my friends
With nothin' to say all day, nothin' to say all day, listen

Got brains but got no drive
Money's cheap, the roads are wide
All the good positions go too fast
I need a job I know will last
I've got a job for you
Can you push that shovel, can you swing that broom
Keep your head down and don't go slow
But don't forget to stop with the whistle

Chorus (Repeat to fade)



All Out Of Love
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

Chorus:
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
does the feeling seem oh, so right

And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Ooh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of

Chorus



All That You Want
(G. Russell/G. Allison)



Always
(G. Russell/G. Allison/M. Sherwood)

I can see hills touch the sky
Heaven and earth, you and I
A world that will always be

Here in the silence we lie
Shadows we cast, you and I
Speak for eternity

Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be

With every word that I hear
Whenever whispers are near
I can believe in fate

Promises made, only one
Yesterday fades from the sun
And falls to a new embrace

Years overflow
As rivers run dry
Here in a moment of time passing by
You and I will always be, will always be

Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be



American Hearts
(Dominic Bugatti/Frank Musker)

They were married in September back in 1969
They traveled east to India to find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo wo
They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with love and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun

Chorus:
American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken

Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills
He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers
Now they've got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They fought with divorce and it breaks their

Chorus

Now that it's over, they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
They'll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And that's how the dream will survive in

Chorus



Believe*
(Loki Mulholland)

I can feel it in my heart and soul
And it's burning like a fire that you can't put out
I'm never gonna say, "No"
You're gonna have to take me to the final round
And all along I've said I'm ready for a fight
And all along I've said that I won't be denied
'Cause I will choose the right

Chorus:
Oh, I believe my day will come
I can feel it in my heart
I can feel it like
Oh, I believe there's one way to go
That's to take it to the top
That's to make it never
I believe...I believe

I'll be shooting from the word, "Go"
And you better believe they won't bring me down
I'm gonna take the high road
And I'm never gonna give up any ground
'Cause all along I've said I'm heading for the lights
And all along I've said that I won't be denied
'Cause I will choose the right

Chorus:
Oh, I believe my day will come
I can feel it in my heart

And all along I've said that I won't be denied

Believe In The Supernatural
(Graham Russell)

Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural

I'm going back just a few years
All people used to seem tall
When everyday would be voices calling
I'd take no notice at all
I'd take no notice at all
Then when I asked if you'd held conversation
I was the talk of the town
Until the voice let me see in the future
They didn't look so way down

I have to make them listen
Or they may never come back
I have to make them listen now

Chorus:
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural
Believe in the supernatural

And so I heard and I saw something happening
They were just like you and me
But they were wiser and all had the messages
We really had to believe
We really had to believe

They showed me how the world keeps on turning
It's not as hard as it seems
So many secrets you wouldn't believe it
They manufacture our dreams
I have to make you listen
Or they may never come back
I have to make you listen now

Chorus

I was afraid of things that I can't see
I can't see love but I like it a lot
I used to take a life in the back seat
Until the front row began to move off
There must be more to sleep than waking
I was so sure there was something waiting there

Chorus

I'm going back just a few years
All people used to seem tall
When everyday would be voices calling
I'd take no notice at all
I'd take no notice at all
Then when I asked if you'd held conversation
I was the talk of the town
Until the voice let me see in the future
They didn't look so way down

I have to make you listen
Or they may never come back
I have to make you listen now

Chorus



Believer
(Graham Russell)

Believer
I got no where to go
Believer
The only one I know
Between us I'm the stranger
Who never does the things that people do
I let it through

Believer
We always seem to shine
Believer
You're always reaching high
And I'm just drifting
You understand the problems passing through
I'm still with you

It's like reading a storybook romance
Everything is so right with the prince in the trees
Waiting underneath the window for you
Any moment he'll sing you a melody
When you're hard and start a life of your own
You always knew the ending had to come true

Believer
I've got a troubled mind
Believer
We've got to break it down
Somewhere inside is a weakness
That wants to be discovered, just like you
I'll help you too

It's like reading a storybook romance
Everything is so right with the prince in the trees
Waiting underneath the window for you
Any moment he'll sing you a melody
When you're hard and start a life of your own
You always knew the ending had to come true

Believer
We always seem to shine
Believer
You're always reaching high
And still just drifting
You understand the problems passing through
I'm still with you

Believer
Believer
Believer
Believer
Believer

Best Intentions
(George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam)

I am not what I seem to be
I mean no harm
I'm not a fake
There's a world alive inside of me
Got a heart that beats
And eyes that see
So don't tune out this frequency

Chorus:
The best intentions don't guarantee
Only love will set you free
Makes no difference long as you live and breathe
Like you like me

Repeat Chorus

If I believe only what I see
I kiss the dark
I am the thief
Stealing light from all of us in need
Causing grief
Ignorant conceit
So show me love, give me some relief

Repeat Chorus

I came from nowhere like this city street
Everybody's walkin' to a lonely beat
I don't know what they're saying
But I know what they mean
And all their good intentions
Will only chain and fetter me
Take me home
To where I want to be...free

Repeat Chorus



Big Cat
(Graham Russell)

Big cat walking on the wild side
Big cat talking on the wild side
He knows he looks the way he should
He's got something making him feel so good
He's got the style, he's got the sway
He's a million miles away

She cat walking on the wild side
She cat talking on the wild side
She don't smile, she don't look
She don't do laundry and she don't cook
She's not listening to what he says
She's not making any promises

He just wants to love someone
She just wants to love someone
He just wants to hold someone
She just wants to love someone

Big cat walking on the wild side
Big cat stalking on the wild side
She cat walking on the wild side
She cat talking on the wild side
He's thinking how she's not so tough
Could be a diamond sitting in the rough
She's staring out to empty space
She's wondering how long he will take

He just wants to love someone
She just wants to love someone
He just wants to hold someone
She just wants to love someone



Black And Blue
(Music: Graham Russell, Donald Cromwell, Ken Rarick/Lyrics: Billy Steinberg)

Blue, blue is the color of skys
Blue is the color of your eyes
Your beautiful blue eyes
Black, black is the color you wore
Black is the promise you made to me before you closed the door
And never told me why

Chorus:
I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

You, you used to sleep by my side
You swore you had nothing to hide
And now there's nothing left to lose
Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

Chorus

Down in the depths of your soul
I hear the echo and the sigh that your secrets cannot hide
They never lie to me
Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies
Chorus

Broken in two because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue
Black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away leaving me all black and blue



Body Glove
(G. Russell)

The more you win the more you gain
An open window to the human brain
The more you give, the more you lose
We can't go dancing in these mountain shoes
And that won't do

The more you touch, the more you feel
It's just a picture that you thought was real
The less you need, the more you know
You can say the prophet told you so

Chorus:
You and me, we got enough
We live inside the body glove
You and me, we live for love
Deep inside the body glove

Chorus

The world is just potato chips
Joined together at the female hips
The universe we left behind
We never know what we are going to find

And when we want to be alone
To get away baby to another zone
The word is out, the clothes are in
And who knows maybe it's another sin

Chorus

The more you win the more you gain
An open window to the human brain
The more you touch, the more you feel
It's just a picture you thought was real
You thought was real

Repeat Chorus



Bread And Blood
(G. Russell)

I'm not afraid of losing you or saying goodbye
If someone needs you more than me, I will understand why
I'd never stand between someone who's holding your heart
But I can't let a superstition tear us apart
Who has the right to speak fire from above
If heaven is away from you, that is the place I'll give up
For falling in love can't be taking these lips from the cup

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

I'm not afraid to face the truth of what I believe
If love was never meant to choose, it could never succeed
And we may always stand alone in everyone's sight
And be the judge unto ourselves between wrong and right
Who puts a price on eternity's sin
Who throws the first stone shall search for perfection again
For you are the reason that pleasure was taken from the pain

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

I won't see you cry, should it may you cry

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood

Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood



Bring Out The Magic
(Graham Russell)

When all else fails and you have nothing
You know you really should believe in something
Take a look at what you have
To a dream that's not all that bad
Don't waste time with all your thinking
Wake up now your dreams are sinking
Making the change is up to you
You'll accept nothing less than the best

Chorus:
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic

It's much quicker than the eye
It's your mind and it's there all the time
Say goodbye this is tomorrow
Make your mind up not to follow

You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

Chorus

You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

You can stay with me now
And tell me what you know
You can stay with me now
And tell me all you know

Chorus

You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

Chorus (to fade)



Can I Be Your Lover
(Graham Russell)

Lyrics Not Yet Available



Can't Stop The Rain
(G. Russell/G. Allison)

When we believe our reality
In the words that we say
We're all searching for sanity
Till it drives us away
To that place in the wilderness
In the deep of your mind
You remember the happiness
Wasn't easy to find

Why do we spend time alone
Why don't we end nights together
Isn't it time to come home

I can't stop the rain from falling
Do what you must do
I can only hope to share the pain
I gave to you
Gave to you

We can climb to another world
If we never look down
We can join in the avalanche
And be thrown to the ground

If I'm still a part of your life
Come lay your head on my pillow
And tell me to hold you tonight

I can't stop the rain from falling
Do what you must do
I can only hope to show the love
I have for you



Caught In Your Web (Swear To Your Heart)*
(Diane Warren)

Caught in your web you struck so fast, I hardly knew it
Seems these days it's hard to make love last
So easy to lose it

Promise me now, promise with you I'll find
One love to stand the test of time...

Chorus:
Swear, swear to your heart
That you're never, never gonna leave me
Swear, swear to your heart
That you're never gonna go
I, I want to hear
That you're always, always gonna love me
Swear, swear to your heart

Caught in your web let's make a vow, and keep if forever
Know whatever happens that somehow, we'll keep it together

I'll pledge my heart, I'll pledge my soul to you
Just take my hand and say that you...

Chorus

That you're gonna stand beside me
Always be there
If you really care
Just stand here beside me and swear

I'll pledge my heart, I'll pledge my soul to you
Just take my hand, and say that you...

Chorus (2x to fade)

Chances
(Graham Russell)

There's a chance you will be there
I'd like to know the truth
I'll find it out somehow
The chances aren't too strong
A chance you will be there
Please be there alone
Help me speak of love
Chances aren't enough
Once too good to miss
Chances aren't too strong
A chance is all there is

There's a chance you will there
Wondering what to do
How to play my role
I'll leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile
It gives too much away
What if we can't speak
What then shall I say
Don't you be too long
Something has gone wrong
The chances are all gone



Come To Me
(Graham Russell)

Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me, and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play

Here we are, how did we come so far
Just tell me how you are, I need to know
Night has come to see the sense run
And every single one, we all must show

And when you feel the flood upon the waters edge
And take the leap from bitter sweet
Do you believe, do you believe
Do you still believe

Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me, and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play

In the sea of those eyes, in the fall of the rise
There is no compromise

Come to me, that's all that I remember
Won't you come to me, before I fade away
Oh, if you come to me, and wrap me in your splendour
Come to me and let the music play



Come What May
(Lyrics: Cynthia Weil/Music: Tom Snow)

When she looks at me
I know the girl sees things
Nobody else can see

All of the secret tears inside
And all the craziness I hide
She looks into my soul
And reads me like nobody can

And she doesn't judge the man
She just takes me as I am

Chorus:
Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something
I've never known before
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more

When I turn away
She knows those are the times
There's nothing to say

Nothing that anyone can do
And so she lets me live it through
And when I'm in my darkest hours of uncertainty
She just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me

Chorus

And when it seems my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just can't be found
I turn around and there they are
Shining in her eyes

Chorus



Crazy Love
(Graham Russell)

When you are young, the thought of the day is
to kiss and run and how many ways to break the rules
You laugh on the way and grow up so fast that
everyone says this kind of life you live cannot last
And you smile as it's going past
Each morning arrives, and so much is new
you can't wait to share it all with someone just like you
The telephone rings, and friends come around and talk to the night
To see and hear the world start to sing, and the fire inside you begins

Chorus 1:
There's nothing like crazy love, there's nothing at all
Once you touch all the things that you need so much
You can't explain the joy and pain of crazy love

You live every day, as fast as it comes
And don't count the cost because there is no other way
These times will all change, and people must grow but
until you do, you live the only life that you know
The one that won't let you go

Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
There's nothing like crazy love, it comes and it goes
Leaving you with a feeling you never knew
It burns so fast and then it's past, it's crazy love

Chorus 1

Chorus 2 and fade



Dame Amor
(G. Russell/M. Sherwood/J. Haun)

No basta pintar un cuadro
Solo de ti mismo
Si los colores son para dos...
Te quiero, te quiero

No basta sonar diamantes
Cuando en tu mano los diamantes
No reflejan un puro amor
Te quiero, te quiero

Caer lentamente, que sensacion
Como una vez yo a ti te ame
Ahora te amo mas y mas
Dame amor
Dame amor, dame todo lo que das
Dame tiempo
Y esperanzas
Dame tu corazon

No basta guardar secretos
Secretos con ti mismo
Si la verdad quieres susurrar
Queremos...
Te quiero
Recuerdos...nos llaman
Es esto una realidad?
Como una vez yo a ti te ame
Ahora vuelvo aun por mas
Dame amor
Dame amor
Dame todo lo que das
Dame tiempo
Y esperanzas
Dame tu corazon

Dame amor
Dame fuerza
Dame lo que quieras dar
Sin cesar
Y sin fin
Dame todo lo que das
Sostenme
Ensename
Tomame por completo
Porque nuestros corazones
Se merecen uno al otro

Dame amor



Dancing With The Mountain
(G. Russell/M. Sherwood/D. Young)

Hot sun as warm as the kissing of the wind
Footsteps in perfect time
Heartbeat as loud as the whisper in the wood
Hold me this dance is mine
The dance is mine

We are alone, your love excites me
You are the earth moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

We climb into the shelter of the sky
Footsteps on higher ground
Your voice as soft as a river running dry
Hold me this dance is mine

We are alone, your love excites me
You are the earth moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain



Daybreak
(G. Russell)

Daybreak, I can't hide the truth
It seems I'm not so strong
And suddenly, there's no more to lose
So where did I go wrong
I should have known before
Her love for me was gone

Now I'm waiting for the light
To fill this empty room
I need you now to break thru the night
Whose shadows came too soon
I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on

Chorus:
Daybreak, oh daybreak
I let her walk away
I should have said, don't go
I know I should have found another way
Now I don't know what to do
So daybreak, please break through

Daybreak, I feel so alone
Why won't you come to stay

I waited far too long and now
I feel I can't go on

Chorus



De Todos Modos ("Anyway")*

Jamas imagine
El frio del final
Nada queda por hacer
Decir o reclamar
quisimos compartir
profunda intimidad
por siempre, por siempre

De pronto sin querer
Empezo a cambiar
Se que no era amor
Esa soledad
El sueno original
No se cumplira
Si tuviese otra oportunidad
Lo haria todo igual

Chorus:
Aunque yo supiera que tendrias que marcharte
De todos modos
Aunque yo supiera, igual me habria dejado amar
Aunque yo supiera que tu corazon jamas se detendria en mi
De todos modos
Te hubiese amado
Igual

Pasion, amanecer
Dulce piel de amor
Siempre aconseje
Sin direccion
Y ya no fuimos dos
Bajo el mismo sol
Aunque este adios no sabe a miel
Seguro que te ame

Chorus

Y ya no fuimos dos
Bajo el mismo sol
Aunque este adios no sabe a miel
Seguro que te ame

Chorus


ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I never imagined
The cold of the end
There is nothing left to do
To say or to complain
We wanted to share
Deep intimacy
Forever, forever

Suddenly, without wanting
It began to change
I know it wasn't love
It's loneliness
The original dream
Will not be fulfilled
If I had another chance
I would do all the same

Chorus:
Although I knew that you would have to leave
Anyway
Although I knew, I would have let me love
Although I knew that your heart would never stop in me
Anyway
I would had loved you the same

Passion, daybreak
Sweet skin of love
I always advised
Without direction
And we were not already two
Under the same sun
Although this farewell doesn't taste to honey
I'm sure that I loved you

Chorus:
Although I knew that you would have to leave
Anyway
Although I knew, I would have let me love
Although I knew that your heart would never stop in me
Anyway
I would had loved you the same

And we were not already two
Under the same sun
Although this farewell doesn't taste to honey
I'm sure that I loved you

Do It Again
(G. Russell)

I used to watch you walk away
'Til the road you take would bend
I was the man to turn you on
And you knew it after all
Come tomorrow when I'm all weary
You would turn me down again
At least that's the way I can remember

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Every single word you told me got home
I'm still thinking about them
Every little secret we should have know
And we can't live without them

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

And I do think about you each now and then
And each time it gets tighter
From the road I can see the last break
And my head's getting lighter

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

You surely started something
You surely gave me something new

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again



Do What You Do
(Graham Russell)

Do what you do 'cos you do it so well
So stand in my way
If only I knew what these eyes could not tell
What this mouth could not say
People are wrong but I'm right this time
I'm losing bad friends fast
Do what you do and keep it that way
And this love will last

Do what you do when your lights are turned down
And you wake up afraid
Think of the love that I have here for you
And the wish will be made
Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you're never sure
Don't look too far it's here where you are

Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do



Does It Matter
(G. Russell)

Does it matter if you're not sure
You're never gonna see him anymore
He's gone for good
You might get mad at yourself
For doing your very best to care
Do nothin' else, baby
You've done the best you can

There's been good times
You know there have been reasons
You still don't say you want somebody else
You want somebody else

I'm giving you just one more chance
To recompense on my romance
Can't believe

There's been good times
You know there have been reasons
You still don't say you want somebody else
You want somebody else

I'm gonna stay with you, baby
Yes I will
Stay with you, baby
Yes I will
(Repeat)

Gonna stay, gonna stay, gonna stay, yes I will
(Repeat)



Don't Be Afraid
(Lyrics: Gaham Russell/Music: Frank Esler-Smith)

When winter calls and the wind won't wait
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so alone like prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see

Chorus:
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are freed

Chorus



Don't Tell Me
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood/Jimmy Haun)

You were late last night, the candle burned so low
And in my darkest hour, I knew you had to go
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Is there someone else that loves you even more
Don't tell me

Standing face to face, the words just fall away
But in my loneliness, I knew just what to say
Did he touch you where I touched you long ago
Please don't answer, I don't really want to know

So don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

Should I close my eyes and say I'm giving up
Can we compromise the darker side of love
Did he hold you like I held you once before
Since I lost your love, I need you even more

Don't tell me lies

I have no more to give you
I have no room to share
I know the road I follow going nowhere
(Repeat 2 times)

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me



Don't Throw Our Love Away
(G. Russell)

Oh I'm just wondering
Just how you have been
My mind was wondering
How we might have been
It wasn't meant to be
The things you said to me
I should have let them go
I should have let you know
Now it's too late
You were the vision
That I couldn't see
You tried to tell me

Chorus:
Don't throw our love away
You know I don't want to lose you
Don't watch me walk away
You don't know how much I need you

Once I had everything
You gave me everything
Somehow I let you go
And now I'll never know
I couldn't wait
You were the vision
That I couldn't see
You tried to tell me

Chorus

And how much is everything
There is only ex-communication
Don't throw our love away
You know I don't want to lose you
Don't watch me walk away
You don't know how much I need you



Don't Turn Me Away
(Graham Russell)

We share such a special love
It seemed to have no end
But now it hurts me just to remember
Your eyes used to tell me so much
That words could never find
And now you say you don't know
Where your future lies
But you've got to find it now
Or get left behind

Chorus:
Don't turn me away
I can't forget it all in just one day
Take some time to speak your mind
But say it's not over
Don't turn me away
Don't close the door on us this way
I'm so sure that there's much more
You just have to tell me

Remember those fireside nights
It's not that long ago
You said you wanted to stay there forever
I have you the strength of my hand
When things were running low
I didn't know you would go back on
What you said
There must be some reasons there
That you don't want to share

Chorus
Please don't turn me away
I can't forget it all in just one day
Take some time to speak your mind
But say it's not over
Please don't turn me away
Don't close the door on us this way
I'm so sure that there's much more
You just have to tell me

And just when you said you needed me
I said I'd be there until the end
What is it that's changed in you
When all I want is to be your friend
(I need a friend)

Don't turn me away



Dreams Of The Lonely
(Myles Hunter)

Night after night with my eyes shut tight
There's nothin' that I don't see
And I can be anyone I wanna be
Inside these dreams

And if I lie real still then tonight I will be
Anywhere that I wanna be
And there's always somebody holding me
Inside these dreams

And no, the lonely never cry
We just close our eyes

Night after night in the dreams of the lonely
Night after night all alone in these dreams
We can dance in the fire
Dance in the rain
In love inside our fantasies
Night after night after night
In the dreams of the lonely

Time after time
Like the perfect crime
No one could ever know
Lovers come lovers go
Inside these dreams

And behind closed eyes no one ever cries
There's no foolish pride, there's no painful goodbyes
And hearts don't ever break inside these dreams



Empty Pages
(G. Russell)

When you're out in front and your life is unsure
What have you got goin' for you after every road you turn
It's magic when you tell me and run your fingers through my hair
I don't need your persuasions, cos I'm already there

I've just read it through and I said to myself
That's not really you, I'll keep myself to myself
It's magic when you tell me, and write the words I want to see
When I reach the last line, it's just empty for me

I've been learning so long, about the things you do
I've been learning so long about you, about you

Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces I fell in and I fell in
Empty pages I've read you all through
Empty pages filled with spaces I fell in and I fell in



End Of The Line
(G. Russell)

This will take some understanding
I believe someone is sending love to us and everyone
Who cares to take a gamble sometimes
Think of me I've given all I can, stretched and arm and open had to you
So never say no

That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

You I need, always needed don't turn back for any reason
First we talk and then we fall head first into each other's thinking
Please be where I'll always see you, life is short
The twinkle of an eye is all we have until we say

That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

Do you dream fantasy and believe what you see is weird
I need a remedy or a book to get off this fear
All I wanted to know is how do I get the truth from here
We play so small a part, but we started from somewhere

All the friends that I can think of
Know what's going to happen to them
If they don't think on today and plan ahead for their tomorrow
Here we are just lucky children breaking out of the shell
I'll take your hand today and love you 'till we reach

The end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line
Reach the end of the line

Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line
That's the end of the line



Even The Nights Are Better
(J. L. Wallace/Kenneth Bell/Terry Skinner)

I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely

I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me

I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you

Chorus:
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you

You, you knew just what to do
Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain

And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way

I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you

Chorus
Repeat to fade



Every Woman In The World
(Dominic Bugatti/Frank Musker)

Over night scenes, dinner and wine
Saturday girls
I was never in love, never had the time
In my hustle and hurry world
Laughing myself to sleep, waking up lonely
I needed someone to hold me, oh

It's such a crazy old town, it can bring you down
Till you run out of dreams
So you party all night to the music and lights
But you don't know what happiness means
I was dancin' in the dark with strangers
No love around me, when suddenly you found me, oh

Chorus:
Girl you're ev'ry woman in the world to me
You're my fantasy, you're my reality
Girl you're ev'ry woman in the world to me
You're ev'rything I need
You're ev'rything to me, oh girl

Ev'rything good, ev'rything fine
That's what you are
So put your hand in mine and together
We'll climb as high as the highest star
I'm living a lifetime in ev'ry minute that we're together
And I'm stayin' right here forever oh

Chorus



Evidence Of Love
(Chris Farron/Steve Diamond)

When I look for the love in your eyes
You turn away
And there's nothing as loud as the words
That we never say
Look at us now
Standing on the edge again
It's not too late to try again
I need some...

Chorus:
Evidence of love
To keep on going
Show me some evidence of love
And I'll be here
I still believe we can see this through
There's only so much I can do
And it doesn't make sense
Without some evidence of love

There's a frozen look on your face
Is it saying goodbye
'Cause there's nothing as cold as the ashes
When the fire has died
Talk to me know
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

Chorus

Stand and fight
Gotta say what's on your mind, baby
So much is on the line
Here's a chance to make it right

Talk to me now
Tell me what you're missing
Talk to me now
And try to find your heart again
I need some...

Chorus



Faith
(Rick Hahn/George Thatcher)

Easy come and easy go
Hard to get a hold on
Searching for what you don't know
Blind to where you belong
Feel the power in your dreams
Vision in your sigh
Nothing's dark as it may seem
We can make it right

Chorus:
I have faith
In your love
I have faith
In your heart
You don't need to hide from what you want
You've just got to give it all you got
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith

Truth hidden between the lies
We both know the chances
Nothing comes from compromise
Only strength advances
I will be here at your side
For everything you do
When the world tears at your pride
I'll be there for you

Chorus

When the world's coming at you like a hungry alligator
You got to have faith
When you've got to pay them now or they'll take it from you later
You got to have faith
When you feel like the future's hiding on a distant cloud
You got to have faith
And you feel like shouting at the good Lord out loud
You got to have faith

Chorus

When you know that you're ready but the time is not right
You got to have faith
And you lie awake staring at the ceiling all night
You got to have faith



Faith In Love
(Graham Russell)

There will come a time
That is yours and mine
When you must define
Your faith in love

You may hesitate
And say it's too late
But you won't escape
Your faith in love

When you're reaching out
Through the slightest doubt
Then its time to shout
Your faith in love

And you can curse my name
And say I'm to blame
But you'll never tame
My faith in love

And your wounded heart will moan
It will sink just like a stone
To the brink of the unknown

(Break)

And your wounded heart will moan
It will sink just like a stone
To the brink of the unknown

There will come a time
That is yours and mine
When you must define your faith in love

You may hesitate
And say its too late
But you won't escape your faith in love

And there's no sweeter taste
No more time to waste
When your face to face
With faith in love

And you can curse my name
And say I'm to blame
But you'll never tame
My faith in love

My faith in love
My faith in love
My faith in love
My faith in love
My faith in love
My faith in love



Fall With You
(Graham Russell)

How can I count the stars that shine for me
How can I keep the time when you're close to me
Will I wake and find it can never be
I'm not sure enough, I'm not sure enough

If I'm asleep and you should speak to me
I know you'll keep those words complete for me
Did I ever say what you mean to me
I'm not sure enough, I'm not sure enough

In the end when freedom lies with love
We'll defend below just like above
I can tell your heart is pure and true
If I fall I want to fall with you, fall with you

So when you're searching for that day to end
When you're hurting more than you can stand
I'll be there for you, I'll always be your man
Yes I'm sure enough, yes I'm sure enough

In the end when freedom lies with love
We'll defend below just like above
I can tell your heart is pure and true
If I fall I want to fall with you, fall with you



Feel For Your Love
(G. Russell/B. Sherwood/M. Walsh)

I've got money to burn
I've got life on the avenue
I've got nothing to learn
I just do what I want to do
I've got places to do
I've got lines on the telephone
I've got nothing to show
For all this time that I spend alone

But if I wanted someone, someone to care
And if I needed someone, would you be there
I want to look into your eyes

And get a feel for your love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for your love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for your love
(where would I go)

I have something to give
I got a feeling that I never knew
I have a reason to live
And all I want is to be with you
If I have you my heart
Would you take what I have for you
I have fallen so hard
And I will do what you want me to

And now I'm wanting someone, someone to share
And if you are that someone, will you be there?
So when I look into your eyes

I'll get a feel for your love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for you love
(where would I be)
I've got a feel for you love
(where would I go)



Feel Like Screaming
(Graham Russell)

Why do you live in the past, and why should it hurt me to ask
If someone can hear, I'm standing right here
But this talking aloud cannot last

I've never been one full of words
It's much better to hide in a smile
With nothing to say, I'd just walk away
Disappear to my room, and shake my fists
Think things over and stare into the wall

And all this time I fell like screaming
Turn that key, let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone
Let me out, let me out
Let me hold onto someone

Inside it's so easy to breathe
But never so easy to leave
And just when I try, the fence gets too high
So I sleep with my head on my sleeve

And I dream of us flying away to a place that is out of the way
And there's somebody there who says I don't care
Who you are, where you've from, what you need
Or what you're thinking, we love you anyway



Feel The Breeze
(G. Russell)

Since I met you how can I notice if the sky is blue or grey
But here I am standing outside looking into a cloudy day
This must be the time for reflection, my direction is not quite clear
Now I feel the air is colder now I feel that winter's here

Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
(Repeat)

I feel the breeze I feel dejected I feel a part of a love that's gone
For in this world to take some chances from your glances I see it's wrong
Winter's here and it's a long one to be alone and in the cold
Brother sun you cast a shadow, now I need my lonely role

Feel the breeze, we're coming to winter
(Repeat)



Give Me Love
(Graham Russell)

I'm tired enough, oh I'm tired
And I feel so weighed down
I don't want failure while my whole life waits around
I need a love just like the rest
And I've waited now so long
I don't take what I can
So I don't find love within
Oh, give me a chance to show some affection
Let something show
I'm the one that said it
I'm the one who needs you now

Chorus:
Oh, give me love
Give me love and laughter
Give me love, love, love and laughter
Give me love, give me love and laughter
Give me love, love, love and laughter

I'm with you now and that's all right
But I need more than your touch
Show me where your heart lies
Now I feel like letting go
I could fall so easy for you
And I wouldn't even try
Your love lies lost in me
Keep on kissing mine goodbye
Oh, say the words say you get lonely
Just let me know
You will never regret it
And you'll never be lonely again

Chorus

Love, don't take it away
Don't throw it away on somebody
I know there's no one else who needs you more than me

Repeat chorus to fade



Glitzy Queen
(Graham Russell)

Oh what a pretty guest we have today
A perfect time to have you stay
But you're not dressed to join the feast
Choose your gown, I'm here to please
I'm sure your devoted husband
Will soon wonder where you may be
Will he spring from the forest
Like and Avalon mist
And being looking for victory
When he does I'll be waiting to greet him
Thank you sister, she took care of all that
As her love turned to hate
So she turned to the state
And I traded some power for facts

Chorus:
So won't you be my glitzy Queen
And then I'll take you home
So won't you be my glitzy Queen
We can be all alone

Oh what a prize you look today
The pick of all the girls in May
Life in the woods must serve you well
The fruit is ripe, now I can tell
So how do you feel about royalty
Caressing you just for awhile
I may have rough edges and be a bit loud
But I'm sure I can get you to smile
You can tell all your friends of the details
I'm sure it will give them a thrill
No-one is allowed to disturb us
And we have a few hours to kill

Oh, I don't worry for me
It's your black tortured heart
That's the prisoner you see
I have love, love that has no end
And if that isn't strong, what is left to defend
You feel your so righteous and brave
All this talk about sin won't save you here
And it won't save your man from the grave

Chorus

Just remember I tried to be nice to you
And don't be afraid to scream
No-one will hear you and nobody cares
It will just make it all more serene



Goodbye
(David Foster/Linda Thompson)

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye



Goodnight
(Graham Russell)

How does the time slip by so fast
Why can't it once stand still
For us this night, will always last
With every breath until
And if you find you're all alone
Remember you have wings

As long as there is air to breathe
And music left unsung
You know that in the darkest night
A dawn has just begun
So think of us, we'll think of you
Together we'll take flight
For we shall never say goodbye
We only say goodnight
For we shall never say goodbye
We only say goodnight



Great Pioneer
(Graham Russell)

It happened long ago
When I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dreamt of summer love
And moving high up north
But no one would go
So I walked up the hill and lay there
Imagining the day was near
I know I want to stay there
And be a great pioneer

I made a promise then
That I'd find a place
Where my world won't end
Give me a piece of land
That will be my life
That I will defend
If I work really hard
I will surely survive
I know my virtue is strong
No one could oppose a spirit
So raw to be a part of the state
To be know as a great pioneer
I keep the fires burning
To let you know I'm free
My heart will always be yearning

Chorus:
To be a part of the state
To be a part of the state
To be know as a great pioneer

Chorus

And if it all should end
And I hear the call
From the great unknown
I'll need to go my way
Let me have my day
Let me be alone

I was dreaming here and lay there
Knowing that my time is here
I know I wanna stay there

And be a part of the state
And be a part of the state
And be known as a great pioneer



Having You Near Me
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I came to you and never asked to much
Wondering what you would say
Hoping you'd understand
It's not a role I usually play
Don't speak too much of what's been going on
The past is over and gone
Give me your troubled mind
You know it's due
I can do so much for you
I want you

Chorus:
Having you near me
Holding you near me
I want you to stay and never go away
It's so right, having you near me
Holding you near me
I'll love you tonight, it feels so right
Feels so right

You're brave to say that you'll get lost in love
But you've opened your heart to me
Underneath all you feel
You know how deep our love could be
Tonight we'll touch until it's time to go
Then I'm leaving it up to you
Even a fool would know
That I'm not through
I can do so much for you
I want you

Chorus



Hard To Forget Her
(G. Russell)

Close your eyes and fill the skies
With cotton candy clouds
Step inside the rainbow
Ride where dragonflies sing loud
Colors falling, butterflies and flowers
Paint the ground
Cuckoos calling, do I have to go

And it's hard, so hard to forget her
And it's hard, so hard to forget her

This is where we always said
That everything is real
Hanging from a spider's web
The valleys and the fields
Following me inside the tree
And catch me if you can
Someone else is playing in the sand

And it's hard, so hard to forget her
And it's hard, so hard to forget her



Heart & Soul
(Graham Russell)

Just loving you has left the world behind
I wish I knew how love could be so blind
Now all these things I never can let go
Can't let go

I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself to you

I understand my life has lost control
What would I do without your love to hold
Nobody knows how much I've come alive
All that I have to give I give to you from deep inside

I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give you my heart & soul)
If that's what it takes to prove myself to you
I'd give you my heart & soul (I'd give you my heart & soul)
To hold you now and let your love come thru

And all these nights I sat alone waiting for someone
And here you are my very own, waiting for so long
I want to give you more than you have known before

Chorus



Heart Of The Rose
(G. Russell)

A long time ago, from the valley of the sun
Came the holy power, when the gods were one
Searching for a new home, searching for this land
Guided by the stars and a vision they had seen
The pillars of the temple, in these hills of green
Buried deep inside for only us to find

It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose

Painted in the sky was the moment to awake
All that lay within you, as this dawn should break
With this force awoken, none can stand before
This is the hour, now is the time
Driven by the purest love, I give you mine
All that we must be, is everything we see

It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose

Our love, has brought us both together
And it's our love that will go on forever
There is no love that can become as one before it's time
It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose

It is the trees in the earth, it is the rivers that run
And through us this secret flows
And now our destiny calls, you'll remember it all
Our love for the heart of the rose



Here I Am
(Norman Sallitt)

Here I am playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time had set me free
Those thoughts of you keep taunting me

Holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
Though each and every part of me had tried
Only you can fill that space inside

So there's no sense pretending
My heart it's not mending

Chorus:
Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without you

On my own I've tried to make the best of it alone
I've done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain

I just can't live without you
I miss everything about you

Chorus:
Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without
Go on without
It's just no good without you



Hope Springs Eternal
(Graham Russell)

Pictures of you race across my mind
Filling all the space there is to find
Melting love's own ice that lay so frozen
I give that sacrifice for feeling chosen

So if I face another day without you next to me
I'll lock you in my mind and wish away the key

Chorus:
Hope spring eternal when you're near
All the passion reappears
All emotion seems so strong

Hope springs eternal thru your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keep me there where I belong

Given back the trust that was so fleeting
Captured by the one my heart was seeking
Taken to my destiny's horizon
Searching for the moon we see it rising

And in the silence of the night, I hold you next to me
Feeling dreams take flight, they set the spirit free

Chorus



I Am Australian*
(Music: Bruce Woodley/Words: Bruce Woodley & Dobe Newton)

I came upon a prison ship
Bowed down by iron chains
I fought the land, endures the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict then a freeman
I became Australian

I'm the daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the Depression
I saw the good times come
I'm a bushie, I'm a battler
I am Australian

CHORUS:
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands
on Earth we come
We'll share a dream
and sing with one voice
I am
You are
We are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and flooding rains
I am the rock, I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian

CHORUS

I came from the Dreaming
From the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been
The first Australian

CHORUS

Repeat CHORUS

I am
You are
We are Australian

I Can Wait Forever
(Graham Russell/David Foster/Jay Graydon)

When you say, I miss the things you do
I just wanna get back close again to you
But for now, your voice is near enough
How I miss you and I miss your love
And though, all the days that pass me by so slow
All the emptiness inside me flows
All around, and there's no way out
I'm just thinking so much of you
There was never and doubt

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever if you will
I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone with you

When it looked, as though my life was wrong
You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong
I'll be here, when hope is out of sight
I just wish that I was next to you tonight
And oh I'll be reachin' for you even though
You'll be somewhere else, my love will go like a bird, on it's way back home
I could never let you go, and I just want you to know

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever if you will
I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone with you

Where are you now
Alone, with the thoughts we share
Keep them strong somehow
And you know, I'll always be there

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever if you will
I know it's worth it all
To spend my life alone
I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too
I can wait forever if you will
I can wait forever more
I can wait forever



I Can't Believe My Eyes
(Jon Lind, John Bettis)

I've dance alone a thousand times
To songs that no one else could even hear
I've reach into the flame of love
I couldn't hold it
And it disappeared
I've lived to learn to hate the blues
I've live with ev'rything but you

I can't believe my eyes
I see you here
Lookin' just the way you should
Ooh
So good it's too good to be true
I lived my life To be lyin' here with you
Ooh
I can't believe my eyes

I've felt the empty hands of time
As they were stealin' all my life away
I've heard the silence here inside
Waiting for words that lovers
Could not say
You turned a little into stone
With ev'ry night you spend alone

I can't believe my eyes
I see you here
Lookin' just the way you should
Ooh
So good it's too good to be true
I live my life
To be lyin' here with you
Ooh
Still when I see you lyin' here
I can't believe my eyes



I Can't Get Excited
(Graham Russell)

Every single feeling now
Would take my life into a year ago
You say you'll love me again
I can't say what I cannot do
It's been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now you're here, wondering why you can't get near

Chorus:
I can't get excited
Can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited
Can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do

I'm turning back the pages now
I've pleaded with you oh so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping I might be the one
So calm down love, it will be all right
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought I'd have to say
That you should leave and go away

Chorus

Not in love
Still not in love with you
Not in love
I'm still not in love with you
Not in love
Still not in love with you
Not in love

Tell me why you can't leave me lonely
Tell me why I'm taking a chance on you
Taking a chance you

Chorus



I Can't Let Go
(Music: Graham Russell/Lyrics: Graham Russell, Billy Steinberg)

I've have the ring that needs your finger
I want you always to remember
I want you to be part of my dreams
I was so lonely here without you
I was so cold just like a statue
Being with you has made me complete

I can feel your loving touch inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

Chorus:
Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Everyday and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
You're part of me, don't you know

Would you give me just a lifetime
I'll stand beside you through the years that come and go
Nothing at all could stand in or way

I can feel your answer deep inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

Chorus



I Can't Stay Away
(Don Cromwell)

I'm seeing a little of myself in you
It might sound crazy but I know it's true
A magic like this has got to be right
What I wouldn't give for just one night
I know you warned me, baby
You tried to tell me
But I can't stay away

Chorus:
There's something about you
I can't stay away
There's something about you
I can't stay away

I'm looking to you for a love so fine
Do what I can just to make you mine
I know you warned me, baby
You tried to tell me
But I can't stay away

Chorus:
There's something about you
I can't stay away
There's something about you

And now you love me
I always knew that
Given the chance we could survive

(break)

Chorus:
There's something about you
I can't stay away
There's something about you
I can't stay away
A love that grows
I can't stay away



I Come Alive
(Albert Hammond, Randy Kerber)

Everyday I prayed that I would find a lover
Then I looked into your eyes and I discovered
Something was changing in my life
Turning the darkness into light
When I'm with you, I come alive
I feel I'm living in heaven
You make the wrong turn out so right
I'm gonna love you forever

There is not a thing that I would change about you
And my life was never quite the same without you
You made the rain clouds go away
Bringing me sunshine everyday
When I'm with you, I come alive
I feel I'm living in heaven
You make the wrong turn out so right
I'm gonna love you forever

In your arms you make me warm
You give me strength to carry on
I know I won't be alone
As long as I'm with you



I Don't Believe You
(Graham Russell)

Who are we to say who we must obey to get much better, ooh to get much better
Who are we to say there's only one way to read the letter
A decision to make and here I must be sure it will not break me
Not a friend in the place to say to my face if I'm right or if I'm wrong
Who are we to say what we must throw away it doesn't matter ooh it doesn't matter
This is for me this is for you it's not inspiring it's not the right thing
I can't accept some things irrespective of how long you tell me
You can make me give in but that's because I'm stronger than I should be

Chorus:
I don't believe you, I don't believe the things you say
There's another way, I can choose to take
There's another way and it's for me to make
When there's a voice to tell you the choice you will remember ooh you will remember

Know what to take what decisions to make without thinking
I can't accept some things, I never will say yes when I don't mean to
You make me give in but that's because I'm happy when I'm with you

(Repeat Chorus)



I Don't Want To Lose You
(Graham Russell)

I called on you today
I know it's late to say I'm sorry
There's so much on my mind
I feel as though the time is upon me
Do you know you take my heart through the door
Are there words to tell you what I live for

Chorus:
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose you

Let me dry your eyes
Is this the last time I can hold you?
There's hope in this soul
And words that will tread where you go to

Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me

Chorus

You have the hand that I need to get by
Understand what it is that's turning me down

Chorus

Is it true, you are leaving what you believe
Part of you, will always be with me

Chorus



I Just Like The Feeling
(Graham Russell)

I just like the feeling
You give me when the time is right
I just like the feeling
When you tell me you'll be here tonight
Let me believe that this moment is good for you too
When you leave it's not really all through
Does it get to you

I just like the feeling
Of pretending that some day you'll stay
I just like the feeling
That your love is not too far away

Tell me again
That you'll stay for as long as you can
When I'm really not part of the plan

Chorus:
I just like the feeling
I just like the feeling
I just like the feeling
Closest to love

I just like the feeling
When you're next to me without a sound
I just like the feeling
When you tell me that you're all unwound

One night I'm yours and tonight
You can have nothing less
Tomorrow I long for the rest
Tell me a lie
If it helps me get through one more day
You know I'll be here anyway

Chorus

One night I'm yours and tonight
You can have nothing less
Tomorrow I will long for the rest
Tell me a lie
If it helps me get through one more day
You know I'll be here anyway

Chorus



I Know You Better Than You Think
(G. Russell)

You didn't have to be so mad
When you ran across the road
The light alone soon told me
You had a heavy load
But I can't see why you didn't stay
Why you didn't come to see if I felt the same way
And I do, and I do

I never asked for any comfort
To take up your time
But now I feel so very different
I need to make you mine
And I want to take what you have to give me
And bring you the words that fall from my head
And I will, and I will

I know you better than you think
And always will
Know you better than you think
And always will, always will
I know you better than you think
And always will, always will



I Remember Love
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood)

I've been staring at the floor
And I've been holding back the tears
And I'd been talking to the walls
If the walls had ears

And now it seems that every time
I look into your eyes
There is only so far I can see

So take me back there
Where only we can go
When you touch me the memories unfold
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

I've been looking to the future
And I've been dreaming of our past
But now I'm counting on this moment
'Cause it may be the last

And days to by and still I try
To reach into your soul
There is only so far I can go

So take me back there
Where only we can go
When you touch me the memories unfold
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?

Remember the times when our world was alive
And all of the answers were clear
Remember the times when our souls would ignite
And passion explodes into tears
And I remember love
I remember love
Do you remember love?



I Wanna Hold You Tonight
(Music: Graham Russell, Donald Cromwell, Ken Rarick/Lyrics: Graham Russell)

Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say:
It's not too late to tell you
I know I wanna tell you

Chorus 1:
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone
Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I want hold you closer

Chorus 2:
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

Chorus 1

I only wish my heart
Could fly like it does
When I sit and dream
I'll never wake alone again
As I hold you tenderly
My thoughts were real
And being with you now is the only thought that's strong
It's lonely night and I'm trying to hold on

Chorus 2

Chorus 1

Chorus 2



I Want To Give It All
(Lyrics: Graham Russell/Music: Rex Goh)

Here I am again
I've come to see you smile
I know you understand
I have to say again
It's only for a while

And still you're always near
Just waiting for my call
I wish I knew a way
To give more than I do
I want to give it all

Chorus:
It doesn't happen every day
But it happened to me once before
Those early years I threw away
Now I only have to hear your voice
To make me feel so sure
That your love is why
I want to give it all

Don't the minutes fly
And hours just seem so few
With days apart so long
It's hard to spend my time
When I'm so far from you

And still you're always here
Just waiting for my call
I wish I knew a way
To give more than I do
I want to give it all

Chorus



I Want You
(Graham Russell)

If it's love that you want, there will always be someone
If it's love that you need, I can lay here at your feet
When your fingers want to hold someone close to you
Oh, don't you know baby

I want you...

When it's time to begin, you can tell me, let me in
Every moment, every day, I'll be waiting every way
Till you're here next to me and you want me too
Oh, don't you want, Baby I know you

I want you...

If it's love that you want, there will always be someone
If it's love that you need and you want me too
Don't you want, Baby I know you

Breathe in my love, breathe out your love
Before it's too late, too late

I want you...



I'd Die For You
(Graham Russell)

When the shadows spread their wings and chase the day away
The time that is for love I know is near
The mystery we feel will soon surround us
The journey of both laughter and a fear

Sweet memories we make will be forever now
The voices from the past will understand
Waiting for the smile that cuts into me
The fragrance of your hair borne on the wind

Chorus 1:
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
What is between us is more than your caress
It's more than I would dare confess
I know it to be true
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
Don't you remember the panic of our love
We've risen high above it now
I owe it all to you
I'd die for you, I'd die for you

The flames that born as one in time may fall away
The glow that is within will never die
To live without you now, I cannot understand
To live without you I could not survive

Chorus 2:
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
What is between us is more than your caress
It's more than I would dare confess
I know it to be true
I'd die for you, I'd die for you
Don't you remember the vision of our love
We've risen high above it now

Whenever you hold me the cycle is complete
The secret of eternal love is laid right at our feet

Chorus 1



I'll Be The Cure For Your Loneliness
(Graham Russell/Frank Esler-Smith)

You look at life
Through different eyes each day
You hold your dreams
So won't run away
For just a whisper in the air
Is heard by one somewhere
You know that link can never grow

You try, I know,
To search for what is strong
When all your strength
Is sleeping for so long
Oh, when an empty heart lets go
A new one soon will grow
You'll see, your life was meant to be

Time after time I see you fall
I know you're lonely
Who could there be to love you more

Chorus:
I'll be the cure for your loneliness
I'll be the cure for your loneliness

You try, I know,
To search for what is strong
When all your strength
Is sleeping for so long
For just a whisper in the air
Is heard by one somewhere
You know that link can never grow

Time after time I see you fall
I know you're lonely
Who could there be to love you more

Chorus:
I'll be the cure for your loneliness
I'll be the cure for your loneliness
I'll be the cure for your loneliness



I'll Be Thinking Of You
(Graham Russell)

When the sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter, when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
All those days of endless waiting
I'll be thinking of you

When thunder breaks the dawn
When all my strength is gone
When shadows disappear
I'll be holding on

When the sun sets on the ocean
When the yellow touches the blue
When your heart begins to open
I'll be so close to you

When you're dreaming and I hold you
Remember that dream will come true
When you wake up and you need me
You'll know just what to do

In the winter, when it's raining
And the sun can never shine through
When your heart being to open
When your heart being to open
When your heart being to open

I'll be thinking of you



I'll Find You
(Graham Russell)

We give, we take, we bend until we break
We touch and feel, to hurt or heal
And when we can

We run so far from who we really are
And we starve and thirst, we praise and curse
And I don't care

How near or far, I'll find you wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go

We shout and scream, but it's just a silly dream
And we hold it inside like its live or die
Till in the end we learn to wait
And we squeeze the hand of fate
And we twist and turn
We freeze and burn, but I don't care

How near or far, I'll find you, wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go
Through time and space
I'll always see your face
And if I must count every star

How near or far, I'll find you, wherever you are
You know I'll find you, wherever you go



I'll Never Get Enough Of You
(Lyrics: Jeannie Napoli/Music: Gary Portnoy and Judy Quay)

All last night we lay in bed making love
I never felt so much before with anyone
Never had to say a word
It was all right there
The warmth inside us flamed and circled everywhere

And if I never have another love
Well at least I had last night
Now I know how the feeling grows
'Cause you made me come alive

Chorus:
I'll never get enough, never get enough
Never get enough of you
I'll never get enough, never get enough
Never get enough of you
I only wanna give you more

Now you're gone, I'm all alone just lying here
Waiting for the moment when I'll feel you near
Never asked if you'd come back, I'm too damn proud
I just smiled and touched your hair
As you went out

And if I never have another love
Well at least I had last night
Now I know how the feeling grows
'Cause you made me come alive

Chorus



I've Got Your Love
(Graham Russell)

I've got your love I don't know how we did it
I don't know why it seemed so long
I've got your love I don't know why you hid it
I've never felt like this before

I won't fall in love
You said it so sure
You haven't noticed you never say that any more

I've got your love
And it's a perfect reason for understanding life some more

Burnt your fingers before
Burnt your fingers before

I've got your love I don't know how we did it
I don't know why it seemed to long
I've got your love it's such a total feeling
I don't know where it all began

I won't fall in love
You said it so sure
You haven't noticed you never say that any more

I've got your love
And if I lose all others
I know it wouldn't hurt at all
I've got you love I don't know how we did it
I don't know why it seemed so long

I've got your love I've got your love
I don't know why it seemed so long



If I Fell
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you



If You Knew Me
(G. Russell)

Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin' anyway
Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin' anyway

It's all I can do
It's all I can do
Don't you think I'm moving for you
Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin'
Don't you think I'm tryin' anyway

If you understood
If you really knew
Just how far I'd go
What I'd do for you
You would see that things would begin to be all right
You'd be the first to say that things all right
You'd be the first to say that things all right
You'd be the first to say that things all right

Chorus:
If you knew me
Sky above
You would see love
Running through me
If you knew me
Ah...
If you knew me
Ah...
(2x)



If You Love Me
(G. Russell/M. T. Williams/C. Rehrig)

Stay with me only if your heart is free
There's no sense if we
Can't see beyond how we feel

Patiently, how do we know what we need
What can we believe
Help me to know this is real

If I give it all, if I give it all away
We could have it all, we could have it all this way

I should have said what I was thinking
Followed my heart but it was sinking

Chorus:
If you love me say that you love me
I'll say I love you too
If you love me say that you need me
I'll give my love to you

Broken dreams are never really what they seem
Somewhere in between you can give
All your problems to me

I don't know how far we are meant to go
If you tell me so
That is where I want to be

If I give it all, if I give it all away
We could have it all, we could have it all this way

I should have said what I was thinking
Followed my heart but it was sinking

Repeat Chorus



Innocent Eyes
(Paul Bliss)

This situation isn't all it seems
There's more here than meets the eye
There's something I don't see
But my imagination can read between the lines
You're a real naive deceiver
Thinking you can hide all the signs

Chorus:
With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me
If it's all a disguise
I've been living a fantasy
You're lying with your innocent eyes

This situation I can do without
Don't trouble yourself to call
I just found you out
While your eyes are saying
You wanted only me
Your heart is with another
And you're saying what you think I'll believe

Chorus:
With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me
If it's all a disguise
I've been living a fantasy
You're lying with your innocent eyes

How did I ever believe you
It was no surprise
Ah, just one look and I fell
For your innocent eyes

(Break)

You're lying -

You're lying -

Chorus:
With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me
If it's all a disguise
I've been living a fantasy
You're lying -

With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me
Your lying -

With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me
You're lying -

With your innocent eyes
You've been telling me lies
You've been making a fool of me



Is It You*
(Vaughn Penn, Todd Cerney)

I watched you light a candle in the window
While the moon glowed, in your eyes
You turned and whispered soft above my heartbeat
Words so sweet, that I just had to cry

I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the dream I dream tonight
'Cause nothing ever felt so right, before you

They say it happens once in every lifetime
I've been prayin' what they're sayin' has come true
Now I'm searchin' in your eyes to find the answer
Is it real, is it love, is it you

You touched me once and then you made my heart fall
Now you're all that I need
Someone must have sent you here to save me
'Cause you gave me a reason to believe

And when I lay me down to sleep
I hope and pray this love will keep
'Cause nothing ever felt so deep, before you

They say it happens once in every lifetime
I've been prayin' what they're sayin' has come true
Now I'm searchin' in your eyes to find the answer
Is it real, is it love, is it you

Is it you that's gonna change my life forever
Is it you that's gonna put it all together

They say it happens once in every lifetime
I've been prayin' what they're sayin' has come true
Now I'm searchin' in your eyes to find the answer
Is it real, is it love, is it you

Is it real, is it love, is you

It's Automatic
(Graham Russell)

All my life I've been a manual man
I like the floor all the power in my hand
Driving up and down the road all day
Overtaking anything in the way
Alongside us came a man in a grin
Winding down the window clever again
You know manual is far too old
To keep pace then he left us cold

It's automatic, it's automatic
It's automatic, it goes by itself

Quick thinking and a mutual aim
So on finding out the name of the game
A different unit was ordered that day
Who wants to go thru' the gears anyway
The same color the same design
The same car with a different mind
Knowing now we wouldn't take second place
Both saying with a smile on our face



It's Never Too Late
(Graham Russell/Michael Sherwood)

Take the river to the highest mountain
Take the ocean to the farthest sea
I'd take back everything I've said to hurt you
If you'd come back to me

I'd bring you fire from the frozen waters
Leave a flower 'neath a fallen tree
I'd take back everything I said to scare you
Away from me

Two hands can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
I was too blind to see fear was inside of me
I'm not afraid anymore

Chorus:
It's never too late, it's never too late
To forgive and forget
Tell me that it isn't over, tell me that it isn't over
I'll never hold you again

If a broken wing can still be mended
Then a foolish heart can still be true
Take the river to the highest mountain
That's where I'll wait for you

Two hands can feel so much more
That's what I'm loving you for
The man that you tried to free
Is still locked inside of me
And your heart must open the door

Chorus (4 times)



It's Not Easy
(Graham Russell)

And the money she gave me, wasn't enough to pay the rent
But before I get some all my money's long been spent
It's nice to get away from all the noise back home
It's harmless in a way we don't have that far to go
And in June we're free
And it's nice, cos I love you, cos I love you, cos I love you

With the rain came freedom, never was one more word so true
In the ragged morning then the word came alive in you
And I tried, and I tried for you
It's not easy, cos I love you, cos I love you, cos I love you

All the food that we could buy wasn't enough to keep just one alive
But we came through summer letting autumn close your eyes
And I tried, and I tried for you
I can take it, cos I love you, cos I love you, cos I love you
It's not easy, cos I love you, cos I love you, that's all



It's Not Too Late
(Graham Russell)

I stand alone I'm just a face in the crowd
I get lonely if the truth be said
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
But I try to understand it instead
I wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
I'd never have to hide behind these doubts I know are true

Chorus 1:
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're thinking of
It's not too late so don’t run away
I need you too, but it's hard for me
So hard for me to say

So I listen for the perfect moment
To rush to you but my heart's too slow
Everybody here can see me stumble
Better wait until the lights get low
Wish I had the strength inside to walk right up to you
I wouldn't have to hide behind these doubts I know are true

Chorus 2:
It's not too late to fall in love
Accept your fate I'm the one you're thinking of
It's not too late so don’t run away
I need you too

But it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
Yes it's hard for me
So hard for me to say

Chorus 1



Just Another Woman
(Graham Russell)

Chorus:
Just another woman in my life
Just another woman lost in the night
Just another woman
Keeping in touch with a man

Knock upon my window
Late at nite
Making me believe that something's not right
I look through the window but all I can see is the rain
Standing on my doorstep, not very old
Looking so helpless and looking so cold
A woman who needed some help
Now she's lost her way
She was tall, she was lost
She could smile
And our wires got crossed

Chorus

As we sat by the fire, the flames just grew
Talking about different things we knew
Watching a new day arrive, right inside my room
The more I listened the more she told
Weaving in and out of my mind with a skill unknown
She was tall, she was lost
She could smile
And our wires got crossed

Chorus



Just As I Am
(Rob Hegel/Dick Wagner)

I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

Chorus:
And you say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more
You love me more

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

Chorus

I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me

Chorus - repeat - and fade...



Just Between The Lines
(G. Russell)

I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
With me every day till I pass away

I've been sitting here frightened stiff with fear
Love has brought it on
And it must go on
Being here with you, taking what is mine
Just between the lines

And here we are, here we are
All alone for me to take
And here you are, here you are
All alone for me to take

Fell in love today
Little words to say
Let us close the door
That's what door are for
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines

I'll always need a friend
One I can defend
All I've got to give
Is do you want to live
Being here with you
Taking what is mine
Just between the lines



Keeping The Love Alive
(Richard Supa)

Both of us holding back
So afraid
To fall in love and lose again
We've both been hurt before
Saw love walk out the door
In the end...
Actin' as cold as ice
When we wanna be
Just a foolish game we play
You couldn't hurt me bad enough
To make me give it up
And walk away

Chorus:
We can't stop
The feeling's too strong
We've got the will to hang on
Can't stop
We struggle and fight to survive
Keepin' the love alive

We try to forget the past
So many times
It's hard to make those memories leave
With all we have at stake
We'll bend until we break
'Cause we both believe

Chorus

If we stand the test of time
Love will be the lasting kind

Chorus



Kiss Me Like You Mean It
(Graham Russell/Guy Allison/Clifford Rehrig)

Kiss me like you mean it
Hold me like you never have before
If you show a little feeling
I'll know that you can give a little more

How can I take your love
If you don't believe it
Reach out and count those stars
One by one

Ooh, kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, kiss me like you mean it

Now is the time when words have no answer
And silence is not what it seems
We can fall from the sky in the presence of angels
Do you dream the same dream?

Always the sounds of love
And a heart never ending
For the colors that bleed and run...one by one

Ooh, kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, kiss me like you mean it

Where the water is deep, the reflection is wide
We stand on the bridge, looking down
But you can't decide
True love will never begin to see
So hold out your hand to me

Ooh, kiss me like you mean it
Ooh, kiss me like you mean it



Labour Of Love
(Graham Russell)

Stacking the bricks, packing the mortar
Working with all my heart
Building of love, making it strong
Never to fall apart
Hurricanes and stormy weather
Nothing could tear it down
While its cold outside
We're warm together
Knowing were safe and sound

I know nothing could shake our love
I know it will last forever
We're too strong together
As long as I keep working, working overtime
I'll keep on trying 'til I get it right
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart

I know nothing could shake our love
I know it will last forever
We're too strong together
As long as I keep working, working overtime
I'll keep on trying 'til I get it right
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart

'Cause the more I put in
The more I get out
But it's all all worth it
When I hold you in the night
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart

And I keep working, working overtime
I'll keep on trying 'til I get it right
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart

'Cause the more I put in
The more I get out
But it's all all worth it
When I hold you in the night
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart

And I'll keep working, working overtime
I keep on trying 'til I get it right
It's a labour of love that's building straight from the heart



Lace & Leather
(Graham Russell)

It's not love, it's not fate, it's just time that could not wait
Nothing's wrong except tonight, if you were here it would be alright

All these clouds ask me why, please don't stop just pass me by
Yours the price that must be paid, whose the love that was just made

Was it all lace and leather, will you think of me again always and never
Was it all lace and leather, was there just a trace of falling like a feather

We'll still talk and I'll still sing about my thoughts and everything
They'll come back they always do and I'll be here to say to you

Was it all lace and leather, will you think of me against always and never
Was it all lace and leather, was there just a trace of falling like a feather

I thought I knew to keep control in any situation
I thought you said that we would never be like this
What will I do if I don't have you here to hold again?
I'm trying to let go, I can't let my feelings show
I really need to know

Was it all lace and leather, will you think of me again always and never
Was it all lace and leather, was there just a trace of falling like a feather



Late Again
(Graham Russell)

I'm late again, oh how the evening flies
You meet old friends and share the secrets they hide
It's not like me to be this much unconcerned
The drinks are free, I know this time I will burn

Chorus:
You know you must believe me, it's so good to see you here
I really tried to get away, it seems like it's been years
I wish you could've warned me, you act like it's the end
Oooo, I'm late again

So I get home and nothing there seems the same
I'm walking slow and no one remembers my name
I bring a smile and say I'm losing my mind
I realize that you've been wasting my time

Chorus:
You know you must believe me, it's so good to see you here
I really tried to get away, it seems like it's been years
I wish you could've warned me, you act like it's the end
Oooo, I'm late again....Yeah....

Repeat Chorus

No one home, guess I'm late again
All alone, guess I'll wait again
(3x)



Learning To Make Love To You
(Graham Russell)

I first felt it back in '63
Some things were changing
It was deep inside of me
I saw the Beatles
And my body began to shake

I started talking to the girl next door
And she looked different
Than she ever did before
And she was saying things
That I could never tell

So I was searching for the way in crowd
With winklepickers
And the music playing loud
But all the kissing
Came from listening to If I Fell

Chorus:
Learning to make love to you
I'll do what you want me to
Learning to make love to you
I know this time we can get it right
Learning to make love to you
I know that this could take all night

While we were grooving out
To Rubber Soul
I was learning how to lose control
I needed someone
That was certain to hold me tight
We were dancing until quarter to
I missed the bus and so I turned to you
I had the feeling that
Everything would be all right

Chorus

Everybody meets a new generation
When the time is right
All the kids want is an explanation
When they say good night
I can see you and me
Are just one to one and

Chorus



Let's Stay Together Tonight
(G. Russell/M. Williams/C. Rehrig)

I feel your hand in mine, I touch your skin
Your heart is calling out
You want to let me in, to let me in

Your lips are silent now, we're not alone
I'd like to tell you how much
I'd like to take you home
So I can make love to you

I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more
I have to give

Chorus:
When the wind blows
There's nowhere else you can run to
Let's stay together tonight
I'm waiting for you
All the words that I told you
Will always be true
Let's stay together tonight
Whatever we do

Why must I keep pretending
I'm in control
When I can feel your sense
Burning through my soul
Through my soul

I believe in you so
And there's only one moment to live
When you're here next to me
There's so much more
I have to give

When the wind blows
There's nowhere else you can run to
Let's stay together tonight
I'm waiting for you

All the words that I told you
Will always be true
Let's stay together tonight
Whatever we do
Hold me close, don't let me go
I just want you to say that, I need you
I want you to know

Chorus

Hold me close, don't let me go
I just want you to say that, I need you
I want you to know

Chorus



Let's Talk About Love
(Graham Russell)

There have been times I've been too cold
There have been times I've been too vain
Now that I feel the power of love
I know that nothing else remains

There have been causes I've stood for
There have been those I've fought to change
Now that I feel the power of love
I know that nothing else remains

Chorus:
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Talk about letting our feelings out
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Love is what life's all about

Oh yeah

I have seen brothers die in war
I have seen mothers cry in pain
When it is love that we stand for
I know that nothing else remains

Chorus:
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Talk about letting our feelings out
Ooh
Let's talk about love
That's what life's all about

Talk about it
Why do we try it
We don't need to fight about it
Love is what life's all about
Ooh
You know it don't come easy
But it's worth working out
Love is what life's all about
Love is what life's all about
Love is what life's all about
Talking and talking and talking
And talking and talking
Let us talk

(Break)

Chorus:
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Talk about letting our feelings out
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Love is what life's all about
Let's talk about love
Love is what life's all about
Let's talk about love
Love is what life's all about
Let's talk about love

(Love is what life is all about)

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love

Chorus:
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Talk about letting our feelings out
Ooh
Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love



Let Yourself Go
(Graham Russell)

Under the door I saw the light creep in
The air was thick, but the walls were thin
It wasn't long before I heard that ringing in my head

So late at night I saw the sandman go
He didn't say goodbye, didn't say hello
My thoughts were coming fast, but my words were running slow

She said let yourself go, don't you dare stop the flow
Let the love in you tell you what you need to know

Baby let yourself go, baby let yourself go
If you fall you can call, but just let yourself go

You can't imagine how the rhythms spell
You couldn't fathom how the walls just fell
All around me was the old lost cause
But I looked straight ahead and ran towards the door

So late at night I saw the sandman come
I said it's okay now your job has all been done
He gave a smile and said it's only just begun

She said let yourself go, don't you dare stop the flow
Let the love in you tell you what you need to know

Baby let yourself go, baby let yourself go
If you call you can call, but just let yourself go



Lonely Is The Night
(Albert Hammond/Diane Warren)

Really thought that I could live without you
Really thought that I could make it on my own
Sent you away yeah I said I didn't need you
I let you do I let you go I let you go
Now I'm so lost without you
Now you're not here and now I know

Chorus:
Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night ain't no light shining through
Till you're in my arms till you're here by my side
Lonely am I

Never thought that I that I would need you
Never thought that I that I'd be missing you
Gotta get you back
I just got to find a way now
To let you know to let you know to let you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world just ain't right

Chorus

I can make it through the day
I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend
And I tell myself I'll be alright

But lonely is the night
Lonely is the night

Chorus



Longer
(Dan Fogelberg)

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We’ll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'm so in love with you

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you
I am in love with you



Looking Out For Something Outside
(Graham Russell)

Won't you think about it
Do you know that it's easier said when it's done
We're all in this together
I'm not asking too much
Just some time to stay for as long as you can
It's already tomorrow

Chorus:
Looking out for something outside
I'm sure you can give me the answer
Won't you say you'll give me some time
That's all I can ask for an answer

Everybody's leavin' won't you try to let me show you how
Put some weight on your shoulders
Everybody knew your eyes were searching around the room
Till I saw you

Chorus

What am I to do
What am I to do
When she turns me down
Just give up on you
Can't stop all I need to the ground
What am I to do
What am I to do
When she turns me down
Just give up on you

Chorus (repeat to fade)



Lost In Love
(Graham Russell/Clive Davis)

I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

(chorus)

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

(chorus)

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

(chorus)

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

(chorus)

Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Now I'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love



Love and Other Bruises
(G. Russell)

As the time slips through your fingers
Till it's almost time to go
And the morning breaks between us
And the ice melts into snow
I'm alright loving you
I'm alright loving you

Love and other bruises didn't have to choose us
But it did and I'm alive and I'm trying to survive
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud

Won't you please take me home
Won't you please, please take me home
I'm so mixed up over you
I don't want to be alone
I'm alright loving you
I'm alright loving you

Love and other bruises didn't have to choose us
But it did and I'm alive and I'm trying to survive
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud
Love and other bruises makes us all good losers
I can't help it talking loud it's because I'm on a cloud



Love Comes To Me
(Graha
