Chicago Chicago Twenty 1 Lyrics
1.Explain It To My Heart

I understand there's no future for us here
Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was
Now you've made it clear
It'll never be right
Guess we knew it all along
Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong
So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us
Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay
Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing
Before you walk away
(Chorus)
Explain it to my heart
It's better that we're over now
Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be
Tell me that I'm better off without you
How it's better to forget about you
Darling I understand
Now won't you please explain it to my heart

Now if I try I can see the reasons why
Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind
But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go
To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known
Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you
I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye
I can tell myself a thousand lies
But tell me now
Tell me how do I
(Chorus)
Say that I'll be better
If we don't stay together
Say that I'll be better off free
But don't say it to me
Explain it to my heart...


2.If It Were You

There's a time when the heart can no longer give in
You try to stand up and fight
You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you can't make it right
Another broken heart is all you're feeling
How can you go on
But the memories of the times there was love in your eyes
Keep leading me on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the dreams we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you

You can never take back all you've given in love
No matter how hard you try
Once it's over and done you just have to let go
Though a part of you died
Another waste of time is all that's left now
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)
If it were you
Would you hold on and hope that it might
Bring back the love we once knew
Or just give up forever that part of your life
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
If it were you
Tell me what would you do
If it were you
Over and over I go back through time
Didn't we promise our love till we die
Asking you deep down inside
Did we really try
Another broken heart is all that's left
But life must go on
All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end
Why can't they go on
(Chorus)


3.You Come To My Senses

I picture you on the beach
Lying in the sand
Out of reach of my trembling hands
I picture you in a car
Blonde hair in the wind
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
(Chorus)
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
I have no defenses
You come to my senses

Driving home in the cold
January rain
I've got to find my way out of this pain
I reached for you in the night
I dreamed of your kiss
I woke before it got light
With your name on my lips
Alone in my bed
Your voice in my head
(Chorus)
I picture you in my arms
And the touch of your skin
The smile on your face
The way that you taste
You come to my senses
Every time I close my eyes
I have no defenses
You come to my senses
I can't stop this ache inside
Oh, I have no defenses
You come to my senses
Ah...


4.Somebody Somewhere

The sun is coming up
But I don't see the light
I keep goin' on and on
Thinking 'bout where we went wrong
I've always heard that love
Could stand the test of time
But somethin' that we had is gone
Maybe we just stayed too long
I wish that I could lie
And tell myself it's alright
It was nothing at all
(Chorus)
Somebody, somewhere
Is falling in love tonight
Is it nothing at all
Somebody, somewhere
Is saying their last goodbyes
I gotta know
Is it the same when it comes
And when love goes

Where do I go from here
Don't know where to turn
Will you find another face
Or disappear in yesterday
Should I hold on
Should I let all the memories go
Was it nothing at all
(Chorus)
She comes and goes...
(Chorus)


5.What Does It Take

All I do is think about you
I never did let go of what we were
Can't pretend I'll live without you
As I learn to live alone
Why can't I be a man about it
I've tried and tried to hide you from my heart
If I could just forget about us
If I knew just where to start
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms once more
What can I say
To make you understand
You're still all I'm waiting for

At times I feel it's best without you
And times I still believe in you so much
After what I've been through without you
You'd think that I'd move on
But you're still my destiny
(Chorus)
What does it take
'Cause we can't go back
Can't be like it was before
What does it take
To win you back
To hold in these arms
What does it take
What will it take now
You're still my destiny
(Chorus)


6.One From The Heart

I'm movin' too fast, the pace of things has got to change
I never have time to think of words I want to say
I look around me, I don't know who really knows
What does it matter anyway?
Sometimes I feel like I've got a heart made out of stone
And somedays I feel so alone
When nobody sees what's going on anymore
If I could just know that someone's there
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
Keep on getting stronger the more I see your face

It's never too late to get to where I want to go
It's never too late to get to love someone
All that I need is to be more than yesterday
And all I can give along the way
One from the heart that's all it takes
One to hold you, one who knows you
One to one together
One from the heart, one for each day
One to lean on, one to keep on
The words you will remember
The words you'll hear me say
It's all about love
It's all about give and take


7.Chasin' the Wind

Did the best I could
To make you mine
If you ever felt anything for me
Well, you never gave a sign
Thought time would make you change
Make you want me
But baby I never had a chance
Now I know that there's just some things
Just not meant to be
(Chorus)
No use
Making you care about me
No way
That I'm gonna win
Oh darlin'
I might as well be
Chasin' the wind
Oh, I'm just
Chasin' the wind

Opened up my heart
Let you inside
If love was what you were lookin' for
Well, I guess it wasn't mine
So I guess I better go
It's over and done
But you know I'm not really sad at all
'Cause you can't really say it's over
When it never had begun
(Chorus)
Can't reach the sea
If you can't get past the sand
Can't touch the sky
If you can't reach up your hand
Can't give if you give nothing back
(Chorus)


8.God Save The Queen

Smoke in the sky
Slime in the sea
Tall timber tumblin' down around me
Red acid rain
Glows in the night
Nuclear winter closes down on me
The light of the world is fading to black
And the absence of people who care
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)
God save the queen
Dear mother earth is dying away
Time's running out
One more tomorrow depends on today

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Greenhouse condition getting' steamier
Nobody's clean
Nobody's free
Nobody's breathin' any easier
The children of earth are dying each day
And the nightmare of who is to blame
Is bringing me down, bringing me down
(Chorus)


9.Man To Woman

Girl, when the moon across the water starts to rise
I'll be looking for tomorrow and I'll see it in your eyes
Girl, though the strongest heart'll shatter in a storm
Now we got this love that we can run to
Tonight, I'll keep you warm
(Chorus)
Man to woman
When you're lying next to me
Man to woman
Girl you're everything I need
Hold on, we'll always be
Always you and me

Hold me close
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've known
I can feel the fire that burns inside you
Look how this love has grown
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Just say we'll always be
Always you and me
I wanna hold you in the night
Can't you see
That I'm just livin' for your light
I want the world to know
I can't let you go
(Chorus)
Man to woman (man to woman)
Man to woman (man to woman)
I want the world to see
Baby what you mean to me


10.Only Time Can Heal The Wounded

You hear a sound as she's leaving
You'll hear your heart pound so hard
You'll miss her warm touch and the way things once were
It's such a cold town when you miss her
It's not the same place no more
When it's hard to mend what's broken
And you still can't let her go
Beyond the storm there's an answer
Beyond the nights you spend alone
Beyond the headlights and the highways you go
You'll take a long ride without her
Until the tears dry away
In every way you try to reason
When there's no reason left to hold
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal

Whatever pieces you're missing
Whatever you leave behind
However you look at things they do change
It's not the same conversation
It's not the way that it was
There'll be one less tear tomorrow
There'll be one less night alone
Only time can heal the wounded of love
Any day now time will tell
Only love can turn it all around again
There's no heart that time can't heal
Only time can heal the wounded of love
There's no heart that time can't heal


11.Who Do You Love

I never know
What you're gonna do
You're always so far away
Down below
You used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Do you want me down on my knees
Are you livin' a lie
Is this some kind of game
Baby, won't you tell me please
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)
Who do you love
What makes you happen
What do you need for satisfaction
Who do you love
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time
Who do you love

I wish that you'd lie
Or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried
What we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
(Chorus)


12.Holdin' On

Walkin' through time
Reachin' for yesterday
'Cause we're frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling that's gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now we've opened the window
So let's not close the shade
(Chorus)
Holdin' on
'Cause the memory of you
Is something I just can't erase
Holdin' on
I don't know what to do
'Cause the pieces won't fit into place
But no matter what happens
We can't let it end this way

So far away
So close to something new
But we're holdin' off tomorrow
Maybe someday
We'll find what we need to do, until then
We'll be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While we're hiding our feelings
We're leaving love behind
(Chorus)
Far away
Reachin' for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had
(Chorus)
