Wishing on Another Lucky Star

Your friends may lie

The truth can come from strangers

If I knew why

We wouldn't be in this danger

Leaning out the window of my car

And wishing on another lucky star

Life goes on

As sure as the sky

Has come and gone

In the blink of an eye

You leave your home on the wings of an lie

You will never die.

The world grows cold

A heart gets torn and tattered

The one you hold

It can be dropped and shattered

Leaning out the window of my car

And wishing on another lucky star

Life goes on

As sure as the sky

Has come and gone

In the blink of an eye

You leave your home on the wings of an lie

There’s a car outside.

Wait For The Magic

(Todd Urbanos)

Billy Jones is a mover

and he has a million plans

wants to be the big improver

wants to be a wealthy man.

There are days when Billy loses hope

days when hope loses him

he prays he can just hold out

and one day he will win.

Will he wait for the magic

no, not forever

just wait for the magic again.

College girl wakes up in Boston

and she sips her morning tea

Cup in hand she 's deciding

how she wants her life to be.

Well it's been some time

since the boy she loves

has found the time to write.

She checks her mail

and there's nothing there

honey, something isn't right

Will she wait for the magic

no, not forever,

just wait for the magic again

never look down, no no

don't surrender

just wait for the magic again.

Well you touch him like a master

and you fit him like a glove

and his heart keeps beating faster

could it be this man's in love.

You may lose, you may win

find love'll break your heart.

The best you can do is take a chance

jump in and play your part.

As you wait for the magic

no, not forever

just wait for the magic again.

Never look down, no, no

don't surrender

just wait for the magic again.

Never look down, no no

don't surrender

just wait for the magic again.

Don’t surrender just wait for the magic again.

Love Don't Need A Reason

by Peter Allen, Michael Callen & Marsha Malamet

Warner Bros. Publishing Co. (ASCAP),

Tops and Bottoms Music and Malamution Music (BMI)

If your heart always did

what a normal heart should do

If you always play a part

instead of being

who you really are

Then you might just miss the

one who's standing there

So instead of passing by

show him that you care

Instead of asking why

Why me? And why you?

Why not we two?

'Cause

Love don't need a reason

Love don't always rhyme

And love is all we have for now

What we don't have is time

If we always believe

all the madness that we're taught

Never questioning the rules

then we're living lies

we bought so long ago

How are they to know?

It's not who's wrong or right

it's just another way

And I don't wanna fight

But know I'm gonna stay

with you till the end

With you my friend

REPEAT CHORUS

I'll hold you close

time can't tear us apart

Forever, I will stand by you

We've got to start

with the beat of one heart

Together,

We will see this through

'Cause

Love don't need a reason

Love's never a crime

And love is all we have for now

What we don't have

what we don't have is time

Hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?

Would you run and never look back?

Would you cry if you saw me cryin'?

And would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?

Would you laugh?

Oh please tell me this

Now would you die for the one you loved?

Hold me in your arms tonight

I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away the pain

I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?

Or would you lie?

Would you run and hide?

Am I in too deep?

Have I lost my mind?

I don't care, you're here tonight

I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away the pain

I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away

Oh, I just want to hold you

I just want to hold you, oh yeah

Am I in too deep?

Have I lost my mind?

Well, I don't care, you're here tonight

I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away the pain

I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away

I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away the pain

And I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away

You can take my breath away

I can be your hero

How You've Grown

"My, how you've grown."

I remember that phrase from my childhood days too.

"Just wait and see."

I remember those words and how they chided me,

when patient was the hardest thing to be.

Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,

I must let these memories provide.

No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.

I should have known.

At your age, in a string of days

the year is gone.

But in that space of time,

it takes so long.

Because we can't make up for the time

that we've lost,

I must let those memories provide.

No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.

When every time we say goodbye

you're frozen in my mind

as the child that you never will be,

you never will be again.

I'll never be more to you

than a stranger could be.

Every time we say goodbye

you're frozen in my mind as a child that

you never will be, will be again.

From the album "Our Time In Eden"

Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

as performed by I K

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly

And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and red roses too,

I'll watch then bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day

I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

are also on the faces of people passing by

I see friends shaking hands saying, How do you do?

They're really saying, I, I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more than we'll know

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

My Old Addiction

My old addiction

Changed the wiring in my brain

So that when it turns the switches

Then I am not the same

So like the flowers toward the Sun I will follow

Stretch myself out thin

Like there's a part of me that's already buried

That sends me out into this window

My old addiction

Is a flood upon the land

This tiny lifeboat

Can keep me dry

But my weight is all

That it can stand

So when I try to lean just a little

For just a splash to cool my face

Ahh that trickle

Turns out fickle

Fills my boat up

Five miles deep

My old addiction

Makes me crave only what is best

Like these just this morning song birds

Craving upward from the nest

These tiny birds outside my window

Take my hand to be their mom

These open mouths

Would trust and swallow

Anything that came along

Like my old addiction

Now the other side of day

As the springtime

Of my life's time

Turns the other way

If a swan can have a song

I think I know that tune

But the page is only scrawled

And I am gone this afternoon

But the page is only scrawled

And I am gone this afternoon

I'll Be

By Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes

That color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath

And emeralds

From mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated

I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your crying shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed

And you're my survival

You're my living proof

My love is alive, not dead

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated

I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your crying shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out

Burned up

Fought my way back from the dead

Tuned in

Turned on

Remembered the thing that you said

And I'll be your crying shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

She's Out Of My Life

Ooh, she's out of my life

She's out of my life

Ooh

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

I don't know whether to live or die

And it cuts like a knife

She's out of my life

Ooh, she's out of my hands

She's out of my hands

To think for two years that she was here

And I took it for granted

I was so cavalier

Now the way that it stands

She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love is no possession

And I've learned that love won't wait

Now I've learned love need expression

But I've learned much too late

And she's out of my life

Out of my life

Damned indecision and cursed pride

Kept my love for her locked deep inside

And it cuts like a knife

She's out of my life

Ooh, she's out of my life

Uninvited

Like anyone would be

I am flattered by your fascination with me

Like any hot-blooded woman

I have simply wanted an object to crave

But you, you're not allowed

You're uninvited

An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting

To watch the stoic squirm

Must be somewhat heartening

To watch shepherd meet shepherd

But you you're not allowed

You're uninvited

An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory

I must seem greatly intriguing

You speak of my love like

You have experienced love like mine before

But this is not allowed

You're uninvited

An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy

I need a moment to deliberate

A Love Before Time

If the sky opened up for me,

And the mountain disappeared,

If the seas ran dry, turned to dust

And the sun refused to rise

I would still find my way,

By the light I see in your eyes

The world I know fades away

But you stay

As the earth reclaims it due

And the cycle starts anew

We'll stay, always

In the love that we have

Shared before time

If the years take away

Every memory that I have

I would still know the way

That would lead me back to your side

The north star may die

But the light that I see in your eyes

Will burn there always

Lit by the love we have

Shared before time

When the forest turns to jade

And the stories that we've made

Dissolve away

One shining light will still remain

When we shed our earthly skin

And when our real life begins

There'll be no shame

Just the love that we have made before time

I Will Remember You

(by Sarah McLachlan, Seamus Egan, and Dave Merenda)

I will remember you

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?

I let them slip away from us when things got bad

How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun

Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

I will remember you

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep

Standin' on the edge of something much too deep

It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word

We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose

Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose

Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night

You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you

Will you remember me?

Don't let your life pass you by

Weep not for the memories

Weep not for the memories

Full Of Grace

the winter here's cold, and bitter

it's chilled us to the bone

we haven't seen the sun for weeks

to long too far from home

I feel just like I'm sinking

and I claw for solid ground

I'm pulled down by the undertow

I never thought I could feel so low

oh darkness I feel like letting go

if all of the strength and all of the courage

come and lift me from this place

I know I could love you much better than this

full of grace

full of grace

my love

so it's better this way, I said

having seen this place before

where everything we said and did

hurts us all the more

its just that we stayed, too long

in the same old sickly skin

I'm pulled down by the undertow

I never thought I could feel so low

oh darkness I feel like letting go

if all of the strength

and all of the courage

come and lift me from this place

I know I could love you much better than this

full of grace

full of grace

I Can't Cry Hard Enough

I'm going to live my life

Like every day's my last

Without a simple good-bye

It all goes by so fast

And now that you're gone

I can't cry hard enough

No I can't cry hard enough

For you to hear me now

I'm going to open my eyes

And see for the first time

I've let go of you like

A child letting go of his kite

There it goes up in the sky

There it goes beyond the clouds

For no reason why

I can't cry hard enough

No I can't cry hard enough

For you to hear me now

I'm going to look back in vain

And see you standing there

When all that remains

Is just an empty chair

And now that you're gone

I can't cry hard enough

No I can't cry hard enough

For you to hear me now

Can't Stay Away From You

Time flies

When you're having fun

I heard somebody say

But if all I've been is fun

Then baby let me go

Don't wanna be in your way

And I don't wanna be your second choice

Don't wanna be just your friend

You keep telling me that you're not in love

You wanna throw it all away

But I can't stay away form you

I don't wanna let you go

And thoughit's killing me that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love is slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

Hold on to every bit of hope, that's all I ever do

Hoping you might change your mind

And call me up to say how much you need

me too

And though you're leaving me no other choice

That to utrn and walk away

Look over your shoulder, I'll be there

You can count on me to stay ...

'Cause I can't stay away from you

I don't wanna let you go

And though it's killing me that's true

There's just some things I can't control

Your love slipping through my hands

And though I've heard it all before

I know you're telling me the truth

I know it's just no use

But I can't stay away from you

I'm On Fire

Hey little girl is your daddy home

Did he go away and leave you all alone

I got a bad desire

I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you

Can he do to you the things that I do

I can take you higher

I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby

edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley

through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet

and a freight train running through the

middle of my head

Only you can cool my desire

I'm on fire

Anything For You

Though you're not here

Since you said we're through

It seems like years

Time keeps draggin' on and on

And forever's been and gone

Still I can't figure what went wrong

I'd still do anything for you

I'll play your game

You hurt me through and through

But you can have your way

I can pretend each time I see you

That I don't care and I don't need you

And, though you'll never see me cryin'

You know, inside, I feel like dying

And I'd do anything for you

In spite of it all

I've learned so much from you

You made me strong

But don't you ever think that I don't love you

That, for one minute, I forgot you

But, sometimes, things don't work out right

And you just have to say goodbye

I hope you find someone to please you

Someone who'll care and never leave you

But, if that someone ever hurts you

You just might need a friend to turn to

And I'd do anything for you

I'll give you up

If that's what I should do

To make you happy

Don't you ever think that I don't love you

That, for one minute, I forgot you

But, sometimes, things don't work out right

And you just have to say goodbye

Don't wanna say goodbye
