1.Dreams

Lyricist:Samuel J. Llanas, Kurt R. Neumann

There's a road up ahead and it's a long one
It's ridden on the restless and young
With a want and desire we'll move
You know there ain't nothing else that you can do, oh yeah yeah

Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of

Sometimes we move with no choice
To the call of wild crazy voices
And you start to feel like a restless gone free
Well as years go by now you finally see, oh yea yea

Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of

Hay!

Um um, the young leave their problems behind
It seems many got nothing but time, time
Yeah not many pray, and don't do what's right
They just run for the love in the night, oh yea yea

Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of, oh yeah yeah
Ain't this what dreams are made of, um um in the night
Ain't this what dreams are made of

Oh, yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah

All you got was some heartache instead

3.Take It Tomorrow

Lyricist:Samuel J. Llanas, Kurt R. Neumann

Talk about love talk about emotion
Talk about the weather well I feel under
Talk about time talk about change
But it don't make me feel any better

Sometimes baby it's hard to see
Blind to the love and the honesty
Close our eyes count to three
Picture love in a memory

Take it tomorrow take it tomorrow
It'll be all right be all right

Days go by shades of blue
Nights fall down on me and you
That's all right if this is all wrong
Maybe there's nothing that we can do

Take it tomorrow take it tomorrow
It'll be all right be all right

Baby don't it feel like the rain is gonna fall
Take away these tears
Ain't it funny when you take a look back
It don't feel like wasted years

Days go by shades of blue
Nights fall down on me and you
That's all right if this is all wrong
Maybe there's nothing that we can do

Take it tomorrow take it tomorrow
It'll be all right be all right

6.Only Love

Lyricist:Samuel J. Llanas, Kurt R. Neumann

I see you walkin' down the street now every day
You're pushin' by the people as you make your way
And you're walkin' proud now baby, you got your head held high
Want you to know that this whole world sees your heart cry

Oh, yeah now see, how hard you try
To make yourself believe

It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love

Maybe love shouldn't have to be so hard to take
Shouldn't have to feel that love until your poor heart breaks
And so why you tell yourself, you know there's no one else
Then it just ain't worth the waitin' anymore

Oh baby, don't you wonder
If there's such a thing

It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love

Oh, you better look in there, believe it
Even if it's too hard to
Yeah, someone who's been waiting
Oh baby, just for you, and love

It's only love

If I could I'd take you, baby, in my arms
I'll take away all love's blame and all love's scars
Maybe we could ride away 'til we get so far away
Then I couldn't see us coming back again

Well, there's something what you think of it
Then show me what you need

It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love

It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love


7.Say You Will

Lyricist:Samuel J. Llanas, Kurt R. Neumann

Well, I've been walking down the streets and the avenues
With the singing birds in the trees and my skies are blue

Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?

I've been drivin' by your house, callin' you on the phone
But your pretty momma says that you ain't been home

Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?

And out in the street when you pass me by
Oh, and my heart starts beating and I wanna die

Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?

You just say, 'Hey, ho baby, don't you know?
Well, I got to head to town, I'll see you later, Joe'

Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?

'Coz, out in the street when you pass me by
Oh and my heart starts beating and I wanna die

Hey, won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe? Yeah

You know sometimes I wonder why I waste my time
Just trying to be your lover when you won't be mine

Won't you walk with me, baby?
Won't you say you will, maybe?

'Coz, out in the street when you pass me by
Oh baby, you never see all the tears I cry

Now won't you walk with me, baby?
And won't you say you will, maybe? Yeah

Well, I never was good at bein' good
I was never very kind
And if I said you're the only one
Well, baby I was lyin'

And I never did take to holdin' you
The way a man should
Ever since you left me, baby
Well, I ain't been very good

I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble again
Ever since you left me, baby
You should see the shape I'm in

I think about the times you held me up
And kept me on my feet
Haven't really sunk this low
I don't give a damn about me

It's hard to love a losin' man
Much harder than you think
You'll have to tear yourself away
Before you both start to stink

I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble again
'Cause ever since you left me, baby
You should see the shape I'm in

Many is the time I've lied awake
Shiverin' in the cold black night
Never is the time I tell myself
'Hey, it's gonna be alright'

And I wish I could've took to holdin' you
The way a man should
Ever since you left me, babe

You should see the shape I'm in

Well, they say that love makes the world go 'round
Keep it flyin' high, bring it down

Say if you got love then you got enough
Say about love, that's what they're sayin'

And they write about love in lots of books
They say sometimes it just takes one look

Sometimes love, it can fade so fast
Say about love, that's what they're sayin'

11.Misery

Lyricist:Samuel J. Llanas, Kurt R. Neumann

Well, I don't know, what you're thinkin'
And I don't really give a damn
Since I found you're the Reigning Queen
Of the one night stand

I've already packed your suitcase
There's a taxi waiting for ya' too
Ya know I might be alot of things
But, I ain't your fool

And I ain't gonna cry
You're just a rotten apple in my eye
I hope I'm givin' back the only thing
You ever gave to me misery

Well I remember, when we started
You said you'd love me
'Til the day that you died
But, I guess just like all the rest
It was just a lie

So, don't even try to tell me
That you're really, really, sorry true
'Cause I know that you done me wrong
And here comes the proof

Well, there was Billy on the second floor
And Tommy at the liquor store
When you were givin' those guys a piece
You were giving me nothin' but misery

I said, there was Billy on the second floor
And Tommy at the liquor store
When you were givin' those guys a piece
You were giving me miles and miles of misery

I said, 'I don't know, what you're thinkin' '
And I don't really give a damn
Since I found out about you girl
You were just a tramp

Now, I've already packed that suitcase
There's a taxi waitin', for you too
Ya know I might be alot of things
But, I ain't your fool

And I ain't gonna cry
You're just a rotten apple in my eye
I hope I'm givin' back the only thing
You ever gave to me

Misery

Lyricist:Samuel J Llanas, Kurt R Neumann

Meet, some girls every once in a while
But it's always the same

Well, I'm lookin' for somethin' that I ain't known
Lookin' for somethin that's rollin' home

What it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love

This and that and the other thing
Don't mean nothin' to me
Just for once, for once in my life
I wanna be able to see
Holdin' your hand, lookin' in your eye
I don't know the reason why

What it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like
Yea, yea, what it feels like
To be in love, really be in love

And I don't wanna say, that it's now
Or it's never, but I've waited so long
For someone who will be more than a lover, yea, yea

Oh yea, what it feels like
Wanna know, what it feels like

To be in love, oh yea

She was there and I was there, that's all

Lonely is the night and when we broke a heart
You know it's beatin' every day
And when I think of her, I have to smile
She helped to ease the pain

I knew it wasn't love, it didn't have to be
She was there and I was there, that's all

And she took me far, far into the night
She didn't let go 'til the morning light

We didn't say a word, I didn't know her name
But that didn't cause to leave
And when I think of her, I have to smile
Because she helped to ease the pain, ooh, yea

Because she was there and I was there, that's all

That's all, that's all, that's all
