1.Tell Me The Truth
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch/g. sutton)
We were a match made with burning desire
Who could have known we were playing with fire
Now it's lights out baby you know why
You couldn't play it straight even if you tried
Anyone who ever knew you
Couldn't help but see right through you
Go ahead look me in the eyes
I'm so tired of your alibies
Oh i wonder
Which way are you gonna go
Just because you say it like you mean it
Don't make it so
Tell me the truth baby tell me true
This kind of love just won't do
Tell me the truth baby tell me nice
Better take my advice
One day you're gone baby then you're back
Just like a train you jump the track
Why don't you slow down you're gonna crash
Ain't gonna get no second chance
Do you think that i believe you
When you do the things that you do
Go ahead look me in the eyes
I'm so tired of your alibies
Oh i wonder
Which way are you gonna go
Just because you say it like you mean it
Don't make it so
Tell me the truth baby tell me true
This kind of love just won't do
Tell me the truth baby tell me nice
Better take my advice
2.Was It Just The Moonlight
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch/w. jennings)
Was it just the moonlight
The way you held me
Baby what a feeling oh
It was shining so bright
It seemed like magic
Couldn't sleep at all last night
Oh in the light of day
Will it go away
Can we make love stay
Was it just the moonlight
Imagination
Do you think it will remain baby
I just know it feels right
Beautiful sensation
Take it inside
Hope our wild hearts never change
Memories of moonlight
They keep me going
Loving in the shadows oh
Tell your heart to hold tight
And never let go
Making love with all your might
Stars burning in the skies
Suddenly they're there
Burning in your eyes
Was it just the moonlight
Imagination
Do you think it will remain baby
I just know it feels right
Beautiful sensation
Take it inside
Hope our wild hearts never change
Why can't the night go on forever
With all we feel together
Making a wish on stars all shining
Silver lining
Takes my breath away
Was it just the moonlight
3.Something Sad
(t. b. schmit)
I spend all my time searching up and down
Looking for some other way
Every now and then i will turn around
Just to find that it's a new day
Why am i afraid to be standing here
Turning my face to the wall
How can i believe that you're really there
When i don't even know you at all
I'll keep trying to make it through
No matter what you say
I'm a fool who still loves you
Bring me a brighter day
Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday i get in my own way
That's how it goes
My heart wants to follow you everywhere
But i try to draw the line
I'm standing in the shade of a blue affair
Hoping it will work out in time
Baby all i want from you is a simple chance
Just enough time to explore
We could put an end to this song and dance
It doesn't have to be such a chore
In this world full of danger
All we can do is try
Maybe we won't be strangers
Keep my love alive
Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday i get in my own way
That's how it goes
Deep in the night i dream we're together
Nothing can do me wrong
But then i wake up and find you're really no there
Like a singer without a song
Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday i get in my own way
That's how it goes
Oh there's something sad about it baby...
4.Down By The River
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch/w. jennings)
Let's go down by the river
Watch the river light
Big old paddle wheeler
Rolling through the southern night
No need in talking you know how i feel
Everytime that i'm with you, you make it all so real
Moon breaks on the water, everything is right
Let's go down by the river tonight
Let's go down by the river
Watch the ships come in
Everytime i'm in new orleans
I feel like i'm in love again
Good band is playing, night is rolling on
Let's get into the music until the night is gone
Love you till you're shining, oh my what a sight
Let's go down by the river tonight
Down in new orleans
You know they let the good times roll on forever
Never say never
Down in new orleans
You know they do it till it's all right - tight
Oh my what a night
I've been out in this big world
I've done everything
Still nobody does it
Like they do in new orleans
They wake up dancing - dance until they sleep
Living on their feeling - they know life won't keep
Honey bring your new shades - morning comes up bright
When you're down by the river all night
5.In Roxy's Eyes
(t. b. schmit)
Don't know if i'm wrong or right
There's just so much i've got to do
Don't want to put up a fight oh
The minutes are far too few
I guess i'll go my way, take it in stride
Day by day
But i can't keep it inside
And i just can't disguise
The mystery i feel
In roxy's eyes, oh
I remember the night we met
She gave me just one look
And i never will forget oh
I felt like an open book
And every night i find i don't sleep
I lose my mind
Can't get her out of my head
It should come as no suprise
It's so hard to see
In roxy's eyes oh
Way down inside my heart all i do is try
I should have known it from the start
That i would cry
It's all in roxy's eyes
A love that feels so strong you don't deny it
It can't be wrong
Still there's so much regret
'cuz i've come to realize
It's so hard to stay
In roxy's eyes oh
In roxy's eyes oh
I just can't read those eyes oh
It's all in roxy's eyes oh
In roxy's eyes oh
6.Let Me Go
(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)
Seems these days there is no one talking
Breaking up and they're breaking down
You and i fight almost all night
Leaves us crying in the morning light
Never knowing where we're going
Is it so hard to live together
Living lonely this sadness on me
I just don't want to hurt forever
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night i can hear the song
I've made all i can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go
City streets and the people homeless
Can't come up with another chance
You and i - we had so much going
Music plays but we just can't dance
You go your way - i'll go mine
Let's find out what makes life worth living
Nights of laughter - mornings after
Someone wants what i've been giving
Give me a break or let me go
Somewhere it's shining
Out in the night i can hear the song
I've made all i can make of broken dreams
Bad scenes and crying
I give and you take - down so low
Love me or let me go
7.Perfect Strangers
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch/g. sutton)
A baby's born in new york
While another's being born somewhere far away
They will learn to crawl after they walk
The collision course that forces them together one day
They started out as perfect strangers
Two people - separate dreams
One twist of fate spells danger
Who could know - who could see
They were crazy lovers burning up
With a fire in their eyes that could not be tamed
You could see their spirits in the night
Feel the tension in the air - such a treacherous game
They started out as perfect strangers
Two people - separate dreams
One twist of fate spells danger
Who could know - who could see
She left it all behind her
He found her in between
Some other love and broken dreams
Reach for the sky don't wait for later
"it's do or die" i heard them say
Let's take a chance don't let love fade away
Fade away
They started out as perfect strangers....
8.All I Want To Do
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch)
I've got a secret on my mind
You may not believe it so please be kind
Baby all i want to do is get next to you tonight
I'm always thinking of you every day
But each time that i look you're so far away
Baby all i want to do is get next to you tonight
I'm out on a line - i've run out of time
Don't think i can take anymore
'cuz baby it's true - i can't help loving you
It's something i just can't ignore yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby all i want to do is get next to you tonight
If we could be together for awhile
Maybe then you'd see how you make me smile
Baby all i want to do is get next to you tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby all i want to do is get next to you tonight
9.Tonight
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch)
I heard you talking the other day
You take pride in never wearing a frown
But when the chips fall another way
Your crying can be heard across town
It's a misunderstanding
Ain't no wrong or right
Just as long as you're with me
Tonight - anyway the wind blows
Tonight - doesn't matter where we go
You try to meet with your so called friends
But they're always gone - got something to do
They're so concerned with the latest trends
They don't even know they're special to you
Think you're way over due now
Maybe the time is right
So take my hand and come with me
Tonight - anyway the wind blows
Tonight - doesn't matter where we go
Tonight - we shouldn't even look back
Tonight - we're heading down the right track
I don't see any rhyme or reason
Why we should give up without a fight
Look hard you'll see the light
'cuz you know there's so much more
Tonight
We've got nothing to lose now
Get ready for the flight
So buckle up and make sure you hold on and stay with me
Tonight - anyway the wind blows
Tonight - doesn't matter where we go
Tonight - we shouldn't even look back
Tonight - we're heading down the right track
Tonight
10.For The Children
(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch)
Once upon a time i - i could bathe in the sun
By the ocean so blue
I could smell the rainfall
And watch the pure water run
The taste it was true
I used to be able to see so far away
I had nothing to fear
And now it's so hard
To feel the clear light of day
The world is so insincere
We must all go into our hearts
Then we will know just how to start
We've got to give all - all we can possibly give
For the children to live
When i was a young boy i could play by the street
And laugh with my friends
We were never scared of
Anyone we might meet
We never thought it could end
We must all go into our hearts
Then we will know just how to start
We've got to give all - all we can possibly give
For the children to live
As i go on i have a strong feeling of sorrow
I've got to know our love will grow with hope for tomorrow
We must all go into our hearts
Then we will know just how to start
We've got to give all - all we can possibly give
For the children to live
