1.Hold Me Harmless
(roger wojahn)
There's an agony hangin' over me
You know, i'm losin' sleep
And i've run out of excuses
For why i let you leave
You said you needed a little time
But it's been too long
I know you need your independence, girl
But i'm not that strong
Well there's got to be a way
That we can make ammends
This was all we ever wanted
Please don't let it end
Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless
I've been told my love was gentle
Thought i had an easy touch
Until i met you, i never knew
You could love someone too much
Thought we'd last forever
I guess it just goes to show
If love is gonna put down roots
It's gotta have room to grow
My only crime of passion
Was that i pushed too hard
And if love's what i'm accused of
Then i'm guilty as charged
Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless
Well i learned an honest lesson
Guess i never realized
If i overstepped my limit
Then i apologize
Won't you just hold me
Won't you just hold me
Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless
2.Hole In My Heart
(van stephenson／dave robbins／desmond child)
All by myself
I was fine
No one else to remind me
Of all my pain inside
You looked at me
And i knew
You would be
The last thing i needed in my life
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause you love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hole in my heart
Don't smile that smile
Say those words
Knowing i'll wanna touch you
Then it will be too late
Just walk away
Don't look back
Let's just say that we're so much
Better off not temptin' fate
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause you love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hole in my heart
I've been in and out of love
And i thought i had enough
But there's nothin' in this world that i can do 'cause
I need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause your love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hold
Like a bullet through my soul
Girl i need you like a hole in my heart
3.If That Was A Lie
(van stephenson／jeff silbar／dave robbins)
If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
If that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway
You can take it back if you want to
But i'm still gonna believe you
Every word
If that was a lie
It was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Tell me now was it my imagination
Or just a whisper on the wind
You know the tricks the heart can play
I swear i thought i heard you say
You loved me, yeah you loved me
If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
If that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway
You can take it back if you want to
But i'm still gonna believe you
Every word
If that was a lie
It was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
I felt it in your tender touch
I wanted to believe so much
But was afraid to let you know
I've been waiting for so long to say i didn't hear you wrong
You loved me, yeah you loved me
If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
It that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway
If that was a lie
4.It Ain't About Love Anymore
(van stephenson／dave robbins／desmond child)
Sit down here
Beside me
It's been so long since we've been real
No small talk
No smoke screens
It's time we talk about what we don't feel
These are the hardest words
I've ever had to say
It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore
It's not fair
To hurt you
I know you tried to do your part
A cold wind
Blows through me
It's been a ghost town in my lonely heart
This is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do
It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore
These are the hardest words
I've ever had to say
It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore
5.Lonely Boy
(andrew m. gold)
He was born on a summer day
Nineteen sixty-one
And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son
Mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned
Oh yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
In the summer of sixty-three
His mother brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger that you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied
When they said he was the only son
He thought he was the only one
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
He left home on a winter day
Nineteen seventy-nine
And he hoped to find all the love he had
Lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up and she married a man
She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
6.Love And Gravity
(mark d. sanders／henry paul／dave robbins)
I stayed out late
I didn't call
I saw the light go out as
I walked down the hall
Silence begins
Without a where have you been
Love and gravity
Havin' their way with me
Her faith in me
Is in a tailspin
Heart look out below
Hold on 'casue here we go
Free fallin' from her good graces again
Free fallin' from her good graces again
Out on the edge
That's where i fly
I've gotten good at landin' on her bad side
Words of regret
Haven't bailed me out yet
Love and gravity
Havin' their way with me
Her faith in me
Is in a tailspin
Heart look out below
Hold on 'casue here we go
Free fallin' from her good graces again
Free fallin' from her good graces again
I'm in way deep
Every day of the week
Love and gravity
Havin' their way with me
Her faith in me
Is in a tailspin
Heart look out below
Hold on 'casue here we go
Free fallin' from her good graces again
Free fallin' from her good graces again
7.Nobody's Fool
(henry paul／dale oliver／jim peterik)
I was the envy of every man
Who thought i held the world in the palm of my hand
Nobody ever got the best of me
I knew better i knew i was lost
I wouldn't let on despite the cost
I was only showin' what i wanted them to see
I was nobody's fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the hearaches start
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
I'd rather be somebody's fool than nobody's fool at all
I had the answers to the questions of
Matters of the heart and the ways of love
All that was missing is someone to call my own
Now before it's too late
I want to know what love is
I lived on the take
I want to learn how to give
I'm tired of payin' the price of being alone
I was nobody's fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the hearaches start
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
I'd rather be somebody's fool than nobody's fool at all
Any fool can run away from love
It takes a wiser man to fall
I'd erther be somebody's fool
Than nobody's fool at all
I was nobody's fool
Somebody who always knew just how to play the part
No angry eyes, no sad goodbyes
I walked away before the heartaches start
Nobody's fool
8.Postmarked Birmingham
(don sampson／phil vassar)
I recognize the writing on the plain white envelope
I've wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote
The answer's in a circle through the word 'love' on a stamp
Postmarked birmingham
I'd have bet on california
'cause her sister's in bel aire
Or i could seattle with her mom and dad up there
She never mentioned alabama so i don't understand
Postmarked birmingham
A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said she's sorry
But leavin's what she felt she had to do
So the day she left she made it two hundred miles south
Did she settle there, did she mail this note
On her way out of town
What chance is there to find here when the
Only clue i have is
Postmarked birmingham
A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said she's sorry
But leavin's what she felt she had to do
Every day down by the mailbox
Standin' on the curb i check
The upper right hand corner
Of every piece of mail i get
Hopin' there's that certain circle
Through the word 'love' on a stamp
Postmarked birmingham
9.She Dances With Her Shadow
(van stephenson／henry paul／dave robbins／dale oliver)
Looking down that long road
She relieves me the memories
Wishing he had stayed and he never said goodbye
Lately she's been missing
All the nights he held her
The music slowly takes her heart
To another place in time
And she dances with her shadow
Staring out the window
A silver moon silhouette
Shining in her eyes
In her heart she knows that
He will never come back
She dances with her shadow
Alone once tonight
He was fast and reckless
No way she could hold him
Loved her like no other
Had ever done before
Some nights you can find her
Going through the motions
Broken dreams and photographs
All scattered on the floor
And she dances with her shadow
Staring out the window
A silver moon silhouette
Shining in her eyes
In her heart she knows that
He will never come back
She dances with her shadow
Alone once tonight
She dannces with her shadow again tonight
10.Stepping Stones
(van stephenson／jeff silbar／dave robbins)
Well it used to be that you couldn't tell me anything
Just another young fool who thought he knew it all
I was runnin' hard and fast thinkin' i was invincible
'til i hit the wall
And i need you now
Like i needed you then
To help me get back up on my feet again
Only you and you alone
Can turn my stumbling blocks into
Stepping stones
Well you stood by me when everyone else had written me off
And you stayed with me for reasons i'll never know
Surrounded by troubled waters i was all but lost
And you were my bridge across
My bridge across
And i need you now
Like i needed you then
To help me get back up on my feet again
Only you and you alone
Can turn my stumbling blocks into
Stepping stones
All the times i stumbled down
You lifted me up
To higher ground
And i need you now
Like i needed you then
To help me get back up on my feet again
Only you and you alone
Can turn my stumbling blocks into
Stepping stones
11.Will You Be There(In The Morning)
(robert lange)
I'm lying beside you just thinkin' 'bout us
Too tired to go to sleep
I'm too much in love
I know i'm crazy but i can't close my eyes
I'm scared you won't be there in the morning when i rise
Baby be there
Who do you dream about
Are you alone in your sleep
To who will you reach out, oh let it be me
Now baby you're my obsession, my addiction, my love
Don't wanna be without you
When i wake up
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there when i want you
Will you be there when i wake up
I need you to be there in the morning
Oh yeah, baby be there
You're so close to me, but i feel so alone
The more i touch you, the more i want
Don't know what to do about me lovin' you
But i pray to god that you feel it too
No baby, you're my obsession, my addiction, my love
So, let the candle grow into a great fire of love
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there when i want you
Will you be there when i wake up
I need you to be there in the morning
Oh yeah, baby be there
I wanna love you forever
Don't want a love that's now or never
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there when i want you
Will you be there when i wake up
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there when i want you
Will you be there forever
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there forever
