1.Hard To Say I'm Sorry/Get Away

a.Hard To Say I'm Sorry

'Everybody needs a little time away,' I heard her say, 'from
each other.'
'Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other.'
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you
to stay.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I
promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.

Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you
to know.
Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never
let you go.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I
promise to.
And after all that's been said and done,
You're just the part of me I can't let go.

After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I
promise to.

You're gonna be the lucky one.

b.Get Away

When we get there gonna jump in the air.
No one'll see us 'cause there's nobody there.
After all, you know we really don't care.
Hold on. I'm gonna take you there.


2.Look away

When you called me up this morning,
told me about the new love you'd found
Was so happy for you, am really happy for you
found someone else, I guess I won't be coming around
I guess it's over baby, it's really over, baby
And from what you've said
I know you've gotten over me
It'll never be the way it use to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry, baby I can take the news OK

But if you see me walking by, tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
If we meet on the street wome day, and
I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away

Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way
When we both agreed as lovers, we were better off as friends
That's how it had to be, yeah that's how it had to be
I tell you I'm fine, but sometimes I just pretend
Wish you were holding me, wish you were still holding me
I just never thought that I would be replaced so soon
I wasn't prepared to hear those words
I know I wanted to be free
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be


3.STAY THE NIGHT

I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just wanna say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time

I want you to know one thing's for certain
I surely love your company
And I won't take no if that's your answer
At least that's my philosophy

Chorus:
Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way

Have some friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do

Chorus

Just to have you near me
Here by my side
Just to have you near me
And when I get next to your body
Just to have you near me
I wanna tell you something, make it perfectly clear
We're gonna have a very good time

Chorus


4.Will You Still Love Me

Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine now and forever
Darling here I stand, stand before you now
Deep inside I always knew
It was you, you and me
Two hearts drawn together bound by destiny
It was you, and you for me
Every road leads to your door
Every step I take for evermore

* Just say you love me for the rest of your life
I gotta lot of love and I don't want to let go
Will you still love me for the rest of my life
Cause I can't go on
No I can't go on
I can't go on if I'm on my own

Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine, stay with me forever
Cause I am just a man who never understood
I never had a thing to prove
Till there was you
You and me
Then it all came clear so suddenly
How close to you that I wanna be

* repeat

Do you believe a love could run so strong
Do you believe a love could pass you by
There was no special one for me
I was the lonely one, you see
But then my heart lost all control
Now you're all that I know

* repeat


5.Love Me Tomorrow

She said, 'It's lonely here tonight.' She's always sad when
she's alone.
She said, 'I need you here tonight.' She couldn't wait 'til I
get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

'Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow
like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more
than
yesterday?'

You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the
dawn.
And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll
carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

'Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow
like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than
any words can
say?'

She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

'Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow
like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more
than
yesterday?'

Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday.


6.What Kind Of Man Would I Be?

Girl, well it's been one of those days again,
and it seems like the harder I try,
over and over, I'm right back where I began;
but you understand.
Oh girl, when nothing else in this world goes right,
oh I just want to run to you.
You pull me through.
Oh baby, who wouldn't want to have you in their life?

Tell me: What kind of man would I be,
living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me,
but if I had to live without you,
tell me what kind of man would I be?

Times when it was pointless for me to try;
I was more than a desperate man.
What seemed like forever was gone with one touch of your hand.
Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights,
when you were there for me.
A fool could see, oh baby,
once that I found you there was no letting go.

Tell me: What kind of man would I be,
living a life without any meaning?
And I know you could surely survive without me,
but if I had to live without you,
tell me what kind of man would I be?


7.You're The Inspiration

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

Chorus:
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

Chorus:


8.I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love

Thought it wouldn't matter
if we didn't stay together,
and if it was over,
maybe it was for the better.
I was thinking I'd be alright,
'til I thought it all through.
Now I know that I ain't really living
if I have to live without you.

I don't wanna live without your love,
I don't wanna face the night alone.
I could never make it through my life
if I had to make it on my own.
I don't wanna love nobody else,
I don't wanna find somebody new.
I don't wanna live without your love,
I just wanna live my life with you.

Guess I had to go away,
so much I had to go through.
Guess I had to lose you
to realize how much I love you.
Can we make the fire burn again,
burn a little stronger?
'Cause I've been alone, and baby,
I can't be alone now any longer.

I don't wanna live without your love,
I don't wanna face the night alone.
I could never make it through my life
if I had to make it on my own.
I don't wanna love nobody else,
I don't wanna find somebody new.
I don't wanna live without your love,
I just wanna live my life with you.

Oh, if I had to make it on my own,
my life would never be the same,
my love would never be the same.
I don't wanna live without your love.


9.Hard Habit To Break

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Chorus:
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Chorus

2nd Chorus:
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break


10.Along Comes A Woman

Lyrics:P.Cetera/M.Goldenberg
Music:P.Cetera/M.Goldenberg

There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there
(All alone) Nothin' seemed to matter
(So alone) Doesn't get much better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

There was a time when you needed someone to hold on to
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
(All alone) Suddenly you see her
(So alone) You know you're gonna meet her
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right

There was a time that you needed somebody to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care
(Now she's here) Nothin' seems to matter
(She's so near) Everything is better
(Can't explain) Something that you're feeling
For the very first time

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way
That you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
(And you know that it's right)

Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the air
That you're breathing tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you're holding her tight


11.If She Would Have Been Faithful...

I was thinking about her
Visiting the past
Reconstructing details with old photographs
Studying the faces
With an objective point of view
Suddenly remembering doesn't haunt me
At the time you couldn't tell me
That one day I'd be glad
That something that I thought was love was misinterpreted
She had another lover- she emphatically denied
But they were doin' me a favor
A blessing in disguise

CHORUS:
If she would have been faithful
If she could have been true
Then I would've been cheated
I would never know real love
I would've missed out on you

I watch you sleeping- your body touchin' me
There's no doubt about it
This is where I want to be
It's so ironic- I had to lose to win
I want to thank her (Thank her again)

CHORUS

Bridge:
It's a paradox- full of contradiction
How I got from there to here
It defies a
Logical explanation

CHORUS


12.We Can Last Forever

Don't turn away
'cause there is something I just wanna say:
I need you to stay.
Don't ask me why
'cause I don't even know
how I gave you my heart; I gave it all to you.
Now there's no way that I can lose.

Every little look inside your eyes
is all it takes to make me realize
we can last forever.
With every little moment we can share,
gonna let you know how much I care;
I'll always be there.

Don't walk away
'cause there is something I just gotta say:
I love you today.
Just ask me why,
you're all I'll ever need
now that you're in my life
I really think you shoul know
that I never wanna let you go.

Every little look inside your eyes
is all it takes to make me realize
we can last forever.
With every little moment we can share,
gonna let you know how much I care;
Love lift us away.

We can last forever.
