How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace When I stand here taking every breath with you, uhh You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave 'Cause we shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all So take a look at me now Now there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just a memory of your face Oh take a look at me now There's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds And that's what I've gotta face I wish I could just make you turn around Turn around and see me cry There's so much I need to say to you So many reasons why You're the only one who really knew me at all Oh so take a look at me now Now there's just an empty space And there's nothing left here to remind me Just a memory of your face Now take a look at me now 'Cause there's just an empty space Oh but to wait for you is all I can do And that's what I've gotta face Ta-take a look at me now 'Cause I'll still be standing here And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take Take a look at me now Ohh You take a look at me now...

There were nights when the wind was so cold That my body froze in bed If I just listened to it right outside the window There were days when the sun was so cruel That all the tears turned to dust And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever I finished crying in the instant that you left And I can't remember where or when or how And I banished every memory you and I had ever made But when you touch me like this And you hold me like that I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me When I touch you like this And you hold me like that It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light There were things I'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right And there were nights of endless pleasure It was more than any laws allow Baby, baby, if I kiss you like this And if you whisper like that It was lost long ago but it's all coming back to me If you want me like this And if you need me like that It was dead long ago but it's all coming back ato me It's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to me I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now But it's all coming back But you were history with the slamming of the door And I made myself so strong again somehow And I never wasted any of my time on you since then But if I touch you like this And if you kiss me like that It was so long ago but it's all coming back to me If you touch me like this And if I kiss you like that It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light There were things we'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right There were nights of endless pleasure It was more than all your allow Baby, baby, baby, when you touch me like this And when you hold me like that It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me When you see me like this And when I see you like that Then we see what we want to see, all coming back to me The flesh and the fantasies' all coming back to me I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now If you forgive me all this If I forgive you all that We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now And if we

Ah-oh Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere A singer in a smoky room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Oh-oh, workin' hard to get my fill Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some are born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on, and on, and on Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Oh, streetlight people, livin' just to find emotion Hiding somewhere in the night Oh-oh-oh Don't stop believin' Hold on to that feelin' Streetlight people Don't stop believin' Hold on Streetlight people, oh Don't stop!

Who are you now, Now that you're mine? Are you something more Than you were before? Are you warmer in the rain, Are you stronger for my touch, Am I giving too little By my lovin' you too much? How is the view, Sunny and green? How do you compare it to The views you've seen? I know I am better, braver and surer too, But you--are you now--Who are you now? Are you someone better for my love?

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Well, I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight And I never had a girl who looking any better than you did And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night And now our bodies are oh so close and tight It never felt so good, it never felt so right And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife Come on, hold tight Come on, hold tight Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night I can see paradise by the dashboard light Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night (In the deep dark night) Paradise by the dashboard light We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night We're gonna go all the way tonight We're gonna go all the way, and tonight's the night Stop right there I gotta know right now Before we go any further Do you love me? Will you love me forever? Do you need me? Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away, will you make me your wife? Let me sleep on it (sleep on it) Baby, baby, let me sleep on it (sleep on it) Let me sleep on it I'll give you an answer in the morning I gotta know right now Do you love me? (Do you, do you love me?) Will you love me forever? Do you need me? (Do you, do you need me?) Will you never leave me? Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? (Do you never leave me?) Will you take me away, and will you make me your wife? (Do you, do you?) Do you love me, and will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it Will you love me forever? I couldn't take it any longer Lord, I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my God And on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore I would love you to the end of time So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive 'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive I'll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time It's all that I can do (all that I can do) Prayin' for the end of time So I can end my time with you (you, yeah) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, it never felt so right) And it was so much better than it is today (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife) Felt so right Felt so good Paradise (yeah)

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The Regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" La la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone The piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here" Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da dum Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody and you got us Feeling alright

Guess mine is not the first heart broken My eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know There's just no getting over you I know I'm just a fool who's willing To sit around and wait for you But baby, can't you see There's nothing else for me to do?
