Dedicate This Heart


No more goodbyes
+
Or waitin' for some lucky day
+
No driftin' along
+
No walkin' away
+
What I feel inside
+
Ain't some idle game I play
+
This love is alive
+
And I'm here to stay
+
Here in your life
+
There in your heart
+
There by your side
+
That's where I want to be
+
It's plain to see
+
It's time for me to dedicate this heart
+
You've grown to be a part of me
+
So I dedicate this heart
+
In your name, baby
+
I hear the things that make me stay
+
And I realize what I want to say
+
It feels good inside
+
And I intend to stay that way
+
I won't deny what I found today
+
Here in your life
+
Here in your heart
+
There by your side
+
That's where I want to be
+

Real Love


Darlin', I know I'm just another head on your pillow
+
If only just tonight, girl, let me hear you lie just a little
+
Tell me I'm the only man that you ever really loved
+
Honey, take me back in my memory place
+
When it was all very right, so very nice, so very nice
+
Here, darlin', stands another bandit wanting you
+
In and out your life, they come and they go
+
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
+
Grindin' down a secret part of you
+
Deep inside your heart, that nobody knows
+
When you say comfort me to anyone who approaches
+
Chalkin' up the hurt, you live and you learn
+
Well, we've both lived long enough to know
+
That we'd trade it all right now for just one minute of real love, real love
+
When you say comfort me to anyone who approaches
+
Chalkin' up the hurt, you live and you learn
+
Well, we've both lived long enough to know
+
That we'd trade it all right now for just one minute of real love, real love

No Stoppin Us Now


Every time when I think I'm closer
+
To what I need most
+
Here I am, standing in line
+
Will it be worth the waiting?
+
Had enough of hard times
+
I can't stand no more
+
Layin' down a new line
+
Now I know for sure
+
Every heartbreak made me that much stronger
+
Good things take that long
+
Had enough of hard times
+
There's no stopping us now
+
Had enough of hard times
+
There's no stopping us now
+
I know I was born to love you
+
So glad it's you
+
Got a new rhyme
+
Here's another rhythm got me steppin' in time
+
Sittin' with your head on my shoulder
+
Right where you belong

Thank You Love


Why am I soaring high
+
Just one look and you touched my mind
+
I have heard of this thing
+
Now my heart can truly sing
+
Oh, love is here
+
Oh, what a feeling, love has set me free
+
Oh, love is here
+
You are the one, you are my destiny
+

You have shown me the way

+
Now I know love is here to stay
+
As the path opens wide
+
We clearly see love cannot hide
+

Oh, love is here

+
Oh, what a feeling, love has set me free
+
Oh, love is here
+
You are the one, you are my destiny
+

This is heaven, my dear

+
I've never seen love quite so clear
+
We will wander no more
+
Our hearts are one, let's close the door
+

Oh, love is here

+
Oh, what a feeling, love has set me free
+
Oh, love is here
+
You are the one, you are my destiny

One Step Closer


Baby, there's a chance you ought to take
+
Chance of a mistake you gotta make
+
Maybe I'm mistaken too
+
To take my chance with you
+
I need you like a shadow needs a light
+
I'll follow you like morning follows night
+
When nothin's left ahead of you
+
I'll be right behind you
+
Shadows disappear at night
+
We both know it's a shame if you should lose one
+
Why is it so hard to find
+
Tell me that you're right there too
+
One step baby
+
Two steps maybe
+
One step closer
+
I'll be next to you
+
Baby, it's a secret I can't keep
+
Trouble comes and suddenly you're weak
+
I don't believe you got the strength
+
To fight this kind of love
+
I know it's risky now and then,
+
What with all the what ifs and the when's
+
Who is there to say we're wrong
+
To tell us it can't be
+
Come on, baby, please don't go
+
I'm heart of stone and you know why is it so hard to do
+
Tell me that you're right there too, baby
+
Baby, can't you see we're runnin' late
+
Can't you see we ain't got time to wait
+
Might be that you're scared of me
+
Of something you might feel
+
Hold on to me, baby, hold on tight
+
I can take us through the night all right
+
Maybe I will stay here too
+
Take my chance with you
+
Shadows disappear at night
+
We both know it's a shame if you should lose one
+
Why is it so hard to find
+
Tell me that you're right there too
+
One step baby
+
Two steps maybe
+
One step closer

Keep This Train A-Rollin


Sure as that old whistle's blowin'
+
There's a tug upon my heart
+
Somewhere in that misty mornin' light
+
There's another brand new start
+
Sometimes I'd love to see this end
+
And watch it fall apart
+
'Cause it's still such a long road
+
And we're a long way from the start
+
You know anyone can say what's wrong
+
That don't make it right to me
+
We weren't born into this life
+
To walk away from everything
+
Once you get the blues in your stride
+
All you need's a song to survive
+
You think by now we would know that
+
We're gonna keep this train a-rollin'
+
We ain't gonna break down on this highway
+
We could sit here waitin', worried, wonderin'
+
Wishin' we were somewhere other than right her
+
But we're right here
+

Just In Time


Just when you think you've seen your darkest night
+
Look around
+
Over there someone's waiting, right now
+
Right now, just to make things right
+
Love comes just in time
+
Without lovin' the sun don't shine
+
Love comes just in time
+
Oh baby, love is all that we wanted
+
Oh baby, love is all we need
+
And when you think that love has let you down
+
And every place you go it seems like such a lonely town
+
You gotta just run away
+
As fast as you can
+
Reach out now, baby
+
And love will take your hand
+
Love comes just in time
+
Without lovin' the sun don't shine
+
Love comes just in time
+
Oh baby, love is all that we wanted
+
Oh baby, love is all we need

One By One


Where and why I'm destined to go
+
Right here and now that's all I know
+
On either side future or past
+
Neither is real both fade so fast
+
So one by one we're given these moments to live
+
Just as one by one they're taken away
+
So one by one I'm taking each day in my stride
+
And one by one the memories stay
+

Good times are still there to find

+
When times are their worst
+
Keep your eyes open wide
+
'Cause through it all are moments that shine
+
And moments that glow
+
I'm gonna be there for mine
+

So one by one we're given these moments to live

+
Just as one by one they're taken away
+
So one by one I'm taking each day in my stride
+
And one by one the memories stay
+

Even when you're close to a dream

+
It can still let you down
+
You'll always have a chance to give up
+
So why do it now
+

So one by one we're given these moments to live

+
Just as one by one they're taken away
+
So one by one I'm taking each day in my stride
+
And one by one the memories stay
