1.I'm Doing Fine
I came across this letter I wrote to you after our last fight.
We were down in Jamaica. To say the least, things hadn't worked
out right.
And I guess we just lost contact somewhere down the line.
I just wanted you to know that I'm doing fine.
Remember that old diner？ We used to meet there after your night
class.
I told you things I'd never told no one.
You just smiled at me and said, 'You can't live in the past.'
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my
eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
I was never good at writing letters, don't want to complicate
your life.
Besides, I don't even know where you live now,
Though I found your number, nearly dialed it once or twice.
I hear you married some rich architect.
Congratulations, I'm happy for you most of the time
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my
eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me, I just hope you're all right.
I came across this letter I wrote to you after our last fight.
You should know I'm doing fine.
2.If You Should Leave Me Now
I just wanna talk to you again,
Wanna get back to the place where I fit in.
Can't believe you're askin' what I'd always thought you knew：
How my life would be without you.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the
sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
And it's too late to take them back once you've been heard.
When I hear you cry it tears me up inside,
'Cause then I realize
If the world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the
sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Too many times I should have told you,
But my pride kept gettin' in the way.
Just the thought of living life without you
Was just too much, was just too much for me to take.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the
sound;
That's how my life would be if you should leave me now.
If you should leave me now...
Aah.
3.Maybe This Time
You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
As you streak across the sky,
You feel the loneliness coming on.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
And all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in,
Till you froze your heart,
Acted like you couldn't hear them
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride,
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised
to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Close your eyes, you see his face.
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Too many nights you spent alone.
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
4.Memories(Revisited)
Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old,
Waiting for my daddy to come home,
And now I look into the eyes of my own son,
Wondering what he's thinking of,
Waiting at the window when I come home.
Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.
He reaches out his tiny hands;
I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.
Memories of my mom cryin', my daddy gone for weeks at a time,
Not knowing how to comfort her,
Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear.
Now I write this letter to my little boy.
I'm far away, not knowing really what to say
Except, 'I'm sorry, oh so sorry.'
I don't want to make these same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, 'Boy, protect your mom.'
Memories of my wife crying on the phone
Wonderin' when I'm coming home.
My voice sounds detached and cold,
Reminds me of someone that I knew;
He had a funny attitude
When I needed him to be
All the things only a daddy could be to me.
And I don't want to make the same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, 'Not now, I'm busy son.'
Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son,
Overwhelmed by so much love,
Tryin' to explain how a man can cry
Yet still be happy,
Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made.
Now I understand my father's pain;
He did the best with what he knew.
I love you daddy.
I watched my son fall asleep
And wonder what he'll think of me
When years from now he sees his son
Reaching out his tiny hands for love.

5.She Is My Lady
In a world so full of pain,
She can push the darkness away.
She is the dream I hold onto.
She is sleeping now, as I write this song.
Pulls the pillow closer when I am gone.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Lovers come and lovers pass,
Feelings slwayschanging so fast,
So hard to know just what matters.
Looking back I see I was so alone.
She gave me more love than I've ever known.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Deep into the night when all hope is gone,
She gives me the faith I need to carry on.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I-I-I....
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond we have.
She is my lady and I am her man..
6.The Night We Met
How can I forget the night we met？
I can still remember what you wore.
I had the strangest feeling like we'd met before.
Maybe it was something that you said.
How can I forget the night we met？
How can I forget when we first touched？
Never thought that I would want someone so much.
I looked in your eyes and then I knew for sure
You would be my love forevermore.
As you slept, I kept thinking of the night we met.
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
And how can I forget those wedding bells？
You looked like an angel, I remember well
How we danced all night and never touched the ground.
How can I forget the night we met？
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
How can I forget your greatest gift？
I swore I saw your eyes when I first looked at his,
And when you cried, the tears were falling from my eyes
As I held our baby, held on to his first breath.
How can I forget the first night that we met？
And how can I forget that night？
How can I forget the night we met？
7.Wrapped Around Your Finger
Well, you tease a lot when you're talking to me.
So hard to know when to believe you.
So here I am, I'm calling you, down on my knees
I just can't sleep at all (just can't sleep).
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger
Like a puppet on a string.
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again？
I've buried all my tears now, you set them all free.
Are you gonna bleed me like a stone (bleed me like a stone)？
You cast a spell, you drew me in, then you walked on me.
I just thought you should know
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you)
Like a puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again？ (Am I losing you？)
(Wrapped around your finger.)
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you).
I'm your puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
I get this sinking feeling (I'm wrapped around you).
I'm losing you again (Am I losing you again？).
Am I losing (wrapped around your finger) you again？ (Am I losing
you again？)
Am I losing you again？ (Am I losing you again？)
Wrapped around your finger
(Am I losing you again？)
Am I losing you again？
