Wrapped Around Your Finger lyrics - Dan Hill
Well, you tease a lot when you're talking to me.
So hard to know when to believe you.
So here I am, I'm calling you, down on my knees
I just can't sleep at all (just can't sleep).
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger
Like a puppet on a string.
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again?
I've buried all my tears now, you set them all free.
Are you gonna bleed me like a stone (bleed me like a stone)?
You cast a spell, you drew me in, then you walked on me.
I just thought you should know
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you)
Like a puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again? (Am I losing you?)
(Wrapped around your finger.)
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you).
I'm your puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
I get this sinking feeling (I'm wrapped around you).
I'm losing you again (Am I losing you again?).
Am I losing (wrapped around your finger) you again? (Am I losing you again?)
Am I losing you again? (Am I losing you again?)
Wrapped around your finger
(Am I losing you again?)
Am I losing you again?
So hard to know when to believe you.
So here I am, I'm calling you, down on my knees
I just can't sleep at all (just can't sleep).
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger
Like a puppet on a string.
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again?
I've buried all my tears now, you set them all free.
Are you gonna bleed me like a stone (bleed me like a stone)?
You cast a spell, you drew me in, then you walked on me.
I just thought you should know
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you)
Like a puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
Girl, I get this sinking feeling.
Am I losing you again? (Am I losing you?)
(Wrapped around your finger.)
Oh no, it's getting late, talk to me.
I just can't sleep at all.
I'm wrapped around your finger (wrapped around you).
I'm your puppet on a string (like a puppet on a string).
I get this sinking feeling (I'm wrapped around you).
I'm losing you again (Am I losing you again?).
Am I losing (wrapped around your finger) you again? (Am I losing you again?)
Am I losing you again? (Am I losing you again?)
Wrapped around your finger
(Am I losing you again?)
Am I losing you again?
I Wanna Make Love To You lyrics - Dan Hill
I see you when you think no one sees.
I feel you (so close) every time you breathe.
I need you more than I needed anyone, it's true.
I wanna make love to you.
Walking down some crowded street,
Your laughter (so pure) sounds like a symphony.
Desire sweeps through me tryin' to stay cool, it's true.
I wanna make love to you. Wanna make love to you.
And it feels like we've waited so long
Just to see what we really feel.
Girl, with you by my side,
My world comes alive.
You whisper (so soft) something I can't repeat.
Your skin brushes close, touches mine so innocently.
The sun burns hot, need some relief, it's true.
I wanna make love to you (you're so close).
Wanna make love to you (wanna be a part of you).
And it feels like I've waited a lifetime
Just to tell you what's on my mind.
It's so hard to reveal
All the passion I feel.
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love, oh.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(till you're in ecstasy)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
(You're eyes are so soft and sweet.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
I feel you (so close) every time you breathe.
I need you more than I needed anyone, it's true.
I wanna make love to you.
Walking down some crowded street,
Your laughter (so pure) sounds like a symphony.
Desire sweeps through me tryin' to stay cool, it's true.
I wanna make love to you. Wanna make love to you.
And it feels like we've waited so long
Just to see what we really feel.
Girl, with you by my side,
My world comes alive.
You whisper (so soft) something I can't repeat.
Your skin brushes close, touches mine so innocently.
The sun burns hot, need some relief, it's true.
I wanna make love to you (you're so close).
Wanna make love to you (wanna be a part of you).
And it feels like I've waited a lifetime
Just to tell you what's on my mind.
It's so hard to reveal
All the passion I feel.
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love, oh.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(till you're in ecstasy)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
(You're eyes are so soft and sweet.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
I'm Doing Fine lyrics - Dan Hill
I came across this letter I wrote to you after our last fight.
We were down in Jamaica. To say the least, things hadn't worked out right.
And I guess we just lost contact somewhere down the line.
I just wanted you to know that I'm doing fine.
Remember that old diner? We used to meet there after your night class.
I told you things I'd never told no one.
You just smiled at me and said, "You can't live in the past."
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
I was never good at writing letters, don't want to complicate your life.
Besides, I don't even know where you live now,
Though I found your number, nearly dialed it once or twice.
I hear you married some rich architect.
Congratulations, I'm happy for you most of the time
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me, I just hope you're all right.
I came across this letter I wrote to you after our last fight.
You should know I'm doing fine.
We were down in Jamaica. To say the least, things hadn't worked out right.
And I guess we just lost contact somewhere down the line.
I just wanted you to know that I'm doing fine.
Remember that old diner? We used to meet there after your night class.
I told you things I'd never told no one.
You just smiled at me and said, "You can't live in the past."
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
I was never good at writing letters, don't want to complicate your life.
Besides, I don't even know where you live now,
Though I found your number, nearly dialed it once or twice.
I hear you married some rich architect.
Congratulations, I'm happy for you most of the time
I just wanted you to know...
I'm doing fine when I don't think of you.
Girl, I hope you're all right.
('Cause I'm doing fine) I'm doing fine when I don't close my eyes,
See your face one more time.
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me, I just hope you're all right.
I came across this letter I wrote to you after our last fight.
You should know I'm doing fine.
Everytime We Say Goodbye lyrics - Dan Hill
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go
When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
If You Should Leave Me Now lyrics - Dan Hill
I just wanna talk to you again,
Wanna get back to the place where I fit in.
Can't believe you're askin' what I'd always thought you knew:
How my life would be without you.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
And it's too late to take them back once you've been heard.
When I hear you cry it tears me up inside,
'Cause then I realize
If the world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Too many times I should have told you,
But my pride kept gettin' in the way.
Just the thought of living life without you
Was just too much, was just too much for me to take.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how my life would be if you should leave me now.
If you should leave me now...
Aah.
Wanna get back to the place where I fit in.
Can't believe you're askin' what I'd always thought you knew:
How my life would be without you.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
And it's too late to take them back once you've been heard.
When I hear you cry it tears me up inside,
'Cause then I realize
If the world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.
Too many times I should have told you,
But my pride kept gettin' in the way.
Just the thought of living life without you
Was just too much, was just too much for me to take.
If this world should ever stop spinnin' 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how my life would be if you should leave me now.
If you should leave me now...
Aah.
I Wanna Be With You lyrics - Dan Hill
I wanna be with you
When I wake up in the morning.
I wanna be with you
When you fall asleep at night.
I'm gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
When the darkness comes,
And the silence makes you crazy,
Oh, I wanna be the one
Who's gonna take you through the night.
I'll always be there.
When the world ain't giving out any hope at all
Let me comfort you. I'll catch you when you fall
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Everything I am,
Everything I'll ever be,
Everything's so empty
Without you here with me.
So you feel the same way too,
'Cause I just wanna be with you.
Gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Oh, baby.
I wanna be with you
For the rest of my life
When I wake up in the morning.
I wanna be with you
When you fall asleep at night.
I'm gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
When the darkness comes,
And the silence makes you crazy,
Oh, I wanna be the one
Who's gonna take you through the night.
I'll always be there.
When the world ain't giving out any hope at all
Let me comfort you. I'll catch you when you fall
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Everything I am,
Everything I'll ever be,
Everything's so empty
Without you here with me.
So you feel the same way too,
'Cause I just wanna be with you.
Gonna stay right by your side,
Starting today, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be with you,
So you'll be with me tonight.
Oh, baby.
I wanna be with you
For the rest of my life
The Night We Met lyrics - Dan Hill
How can I forget the night we met?
I can still remember what you wore.
I had the strangest feeling like we'd met before.
Maybe it was something that you said.
How can I forget the night we met?
How can I forget when we first touched?
Never thought that I would want someone so much.
I looked in your eyes and then I knew for sure
You would be my love forevermore.
As you slept, I kept thinking of the night we met.
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
And how can I forget those wedding bells?
You looked like an angel, I remember well
How we danced all night and never touched the ground.
How can I forget the night we met?
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
How can I forget your greatest gift?
I swore I saw your eyes when I first looked at his,
And when you cried, the tears were falling from my eyes
As I held our baby, held on to his first breath.
How can I forget the first night that we met?
And how can I forget that night?
How can I forget the night we met
I can still remember what you wore.
I had the strangest feeling like we'd met before.
Maybe it was something that you said.
How can I forget the night we met?
How can I forget when we first touched?
Never thought that I would want someone so much.
I looked in your eyes and then I knew for sure
You would be my love forevermore.
As you slept, I kept thinking of the night we met.
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
And how can I forget those wedding bells?
You looked like an angel, I remember well
How we danced all night and never touched the ground.
How can I forget the night we met?
Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
But I remember everything about you,
How you came and changed my life.
How can I forget your greatest gift?
I swore I saw your eyes when I first looked at his,
And when you cried, the tears were falling from my eyes
As I held our baby, held on to his first breath.
How can I forget the first night that we met?
And how can I forget that night?
How can I forget the night we met
Maybe This Time lyrics - Dan Hill
You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
As you streak across the sky,
You feel the loneliness coming on.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
And all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in,
Till you froze your heart,
Acted like you couldn't hear them
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride,
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Close your eyes, you see his face.
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Too many nights you spent alone.
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Your mama walks such a fragile line.
The tears will love, but you don't cry.
With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Gonna catch a plane to another life.
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
As you streak across the sky,
You feel the loneliness coming on.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
And all your life you've heard it said
That you could never quite fit in,
Till you froze your heart,
Acted like you couldn't hear them
You swore this time,
Wouldn't try so hard to please him
You show a little pride,
But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.
Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Close your eyes, you see his face.
Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Too many nights you spent alone.
Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.
Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
She Is My Lady lyrics - Dan Hill
In a world so full of pain,
She can push the darkness away.
She is the dream I hold onto.
She is sleeping now, as I write this song.
Pulls the pillow closer when I am gone.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Lovers come and lovers pass,
Feelings always changing so fast,
So hard to know just what matters.
Looking back I see I was so alone.
She gave me more love than I've ever known.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Deep into the night when all hope is gone,
She gives me the faith I need to carry on.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I-I-I....
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond we have.
She is my lady and I am her man..
She can push the darkness away.
She is the dream I hold onto.
She is sleeping now, as I write this song.
Pulls the pillow closer when I am gone.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Lovers come and lovers pass,
Feelings always changing so fast,
So hard to know just what matters.
Looking back I see I was so alone.
She gave me more love than I've ever known.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Deep into the night when all hope is gone,
She gives me the faith I need to carry on.
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond that we have.
She is my lady and I-I-I....
She is my lady and I am her man.
Through the hard times we still understand.
Nothing can break the bond we have.
She is my lady and I am her man..
Memories (Revisited) lyrics - Dan Hill
Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old,
Waiting for my daddy to come home,
And now I look into the eyes of my own son,
Wondering what he's thinking of,
Waiting at the window when I come home.
Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.
He reaches out his tiny hands;
I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.
Memories of my mom cryin', my daddy gone for weeks at a time,
Not knowing how to comfort her,
Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear.
Now I write this letter to my little boy.
I'm far away, not knowing really what to say
Except, "I'm sorry, oh so sorry."
I don't want to make these same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Boy, protect your mom."
Memories of my wife crying on the phone
Wonderin' when I'm coming home.
My voice sounds detached and cold,
Reminds me of someone that I knew;
He had a funny attitude
When I needed him to be
All the things only a daddy could be to me.
And I don't want to make the same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Not now, I'm busy son."
Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son,
Overwhelmed by so much love,
Tryin' to explain how a man can cry
Yet still be happy,
Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made.
Now I understand my father's pain;
He did the best with what he knew.
I love you daddy.
I watched my son fall asleep
And wonder what he'll think of me
When years from now he sees his son
Reaching out his tiny hands for love.
Waiting for my daddy to come home,
And now I look into the eyes of my own son,
Wondering what he's thinking of,
Waiting at the window when I come home.
Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.
He reaches out his tiny hands;
I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.
Memories of my mom cryin', my daddy gone for weeks at a time,
Not knowing how to comfort her,
Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear.
Now I write this letter to my little boy.
I'm far away, not knowing really what to say
Except, "I'm sorry, oh so sorry."
I don't want to make these same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Boy, protect your mom."
Memories of my wife crying on the phone
Wonderin' when I'm coming home.
My voice sounds detached and cold,
Reminds me of someone that I knew;
He had a funny attitude
When I needed him to be
All the things only a daddy could be to me.
And I don't want to make the same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Not now, I'm busy son."
Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son,
Overwhelmed by so much love,
Tryin' to explain how a man can cry
Yet still be happy,
Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made.
Now I understand my father's pain;
He did the best with what he knew.
I love you daddy.
I watched my son fall asleep
And wonder what he'll think of me
When years from now he sees his son
Reaching out his tiny hands for love.
I Love You Now lyrics - Dan Hill
There's not a thing about you that I'd change
You're the fire inside my heart always
Sometimes it's hard for me to open up
Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough
I remember when I first saw you
Couldn't believe that God could make someone, so beautiful
That was long ago and far away
You may wonder if my feelings ever change
Girl, I love you now
More than words can ever say
How I love you?
Just let me count the ways
You're the fire, you're the passion
You're the best that could happen
You should know after all
You're the fire inside my heart always
Sometimes it's hard for me to open up
Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough
I remember when I first saw you
Couldn't believe that God could make someone, so beautiful
That was long ago and far away
You may wonder if my feelings ever change
Girl, I love you now
More than words can ever say
How I love you?
Just let me count the ways
You're the fire, you're the passion
You're the best that could happen
You should know after all
I Fall All Over Again lyrics - Dan Hill
Can't believe we met like this
Is it just coincidence?
I had a feeling I'll be seeing you again
You're every bit as beautiful
As the last time we met
When you told me you were leaving
And going back to him
How I wish that I could tell you
It's all in the past
That I was never good at lying
And baby since you ask
I don't wanna hear that song again
From the night we first met
I don't wanna hear you whispering
Things I'd rather forget
I don't wanna look into your eyes
Coz you know what happens next
We'll be making love and then
I'll fall all over again
Can't begin to tell you
Just how, sorry I am
That the man you built your
Dreams around just broke your heart again
I think I know the feeling
Coz I once loved you so much
And I swore I'd rather die or
Live a day without your touch
If I held you in my arms
You'll know I'll never let you go
But this ain't the time or place
To get emotional
I don't wanna hear that song again
From the night we first met
I don't wanna hear you whispering
Things I'd rather forget
I don't wanna look into your eyes
Coz you know what happens next
We'll be making love and then
I'll fall all over again
Is it just coincidence?
I had a feeling I'll be seeing you again
You're every bit as beautiful
As the last time we met
When you told me you were leaving
And going back to him
How I wish that I could tell you
It's all in the past
That I was never good at lying
And baby since you ask
I don't wanna hear that song again
From the night we first met
I don't wanna hear you whispering
Things I'd rather forget
I don't wanna look into your eyes
Coz you know what happens next
We'll be making love and then
I'll fall all over again
Can't begin to tell you
Just how, sorry I am
That the man you built your
Dreams around just broke your heart again
I think I know the feeling
Coz I once loved you so much
And I swore I'd rather die or
Live a day without your touch
If I held you in my arms
You'll know I'll never let you go
But this ain't the time or place
To get emotional
I don't wanna hear that song again
From the night we first met
I don't wanna hear you whispering
Things I'd rather forget
I don't wanna look into your eyes
Coz you know what happens next
We'll be making love and then
I'll fall all over again
Sorry lyrics - Dan Hill
Too many times
Girl I've swallowed my pride
Waiting for you to come home
When you finally arrive
Your eyes shining bright
There's the scent of some rich man's cologne
For the very last time
I hear you apologise
Girl you've pushed our love over the borderline
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
I remember when you weren't impressed by rich men
You didn't take life so seriously
Remember when making love
Swept us so high above
There were no minefields between you and me
I can see him in your eyes
And I'm on fire inside
As I'm walking away
It me kills me to say
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
How your emerald eyes
Look away when you lie
I can't go through this again
Girl there comes a time when
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
Girl I've swallowed my pride
Waiting for you to come home
When you finally arrive
Your eyes shining bright
There's the scent of some rich man's cologne
For the very last time
I hear you apologise
Girl you've pushed our love over the borderline
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
I remember when you weren't impressed by rich men
You didn't take life so seriously
Remember when making love
Swept us so high above
There were no minefields between you and me
I can see him in your eyes
And I'm on fire inside
As I'm walking away
It me kills me to say
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
How your emerald eyes
Look away when you lie
I can't go through this again
Girl there comes a time when
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
We've compromised baby too many times
Sorry, but sorry ain't good enough
When you shutter a trust
Baby, sorry just ain't good enough
Dance Of Love lyrics - Dan Hill
You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby baby baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know I know I know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby baby baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know I know I know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive
Hold Me Now lyrics - Dan Hill
If I could make sweet love to you all through the night
All the problems of my world would slowly fade away
How can I be sure that everything you say
Isn't just another line designed to steal my heart away
Just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now
I feel your touch and it stirs me deep inside
And still I need to know there's more than passion in your eyes
Oh girl, you are much more than something physical, can't you see
You don't have to stay the night, baby tell me what you want from me
Oh, just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now
If we make love
I need you baby
I wanna lose myself to you
Rise so high above
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Don't leave me now
I just want you to
Hold me now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now
Baby, hold me forever
Just hold me now
Never let me go
Let me unfold you, endlessly
Just let me hold you
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me
Don't ever let me go, no
Hold me now
All the problems of my world would slowly fade away
How can I be sure that everything you say
Isn't just another line designed to steal my heart away
Just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now
I feel your touch and it stirs me deep inside
And still I need to know there's more than passion in your eyes
Oh girl, you are much more than something physical, can't you see
You don't have to stay the night, baby tell me what you want from me
Oh, just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now
If we make love
I need you baby
I wanna lose myself to you
Rise so high above
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Don't leave me now
I just want you to
Hold me now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now
Baby, hold me forever
Just hold me now
Never let me go
Let me unfold you, endlessly
Just let me hold you
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me
Don't ever let me go, no
Hold me now
Conscience lyrics - Dan Hill
Standing like a statue of desire
You could set the coldest night on fire
Don't know why you've chosen me to seduce
Look into your liberated eyes
As the conversation dies
Don't know why I'm drawn so easily to you
I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good this can't be right, keep me on
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
Feeling the temptation of your touch
Never thought I'd ache for love this much
Those were times of desperation, cut so deep
Never been the time to play around
Don't know what we're doing here right now
Don't know why you're coming at so strong to me
Hey, I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good, this can't be right, can't be
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good, this can't be right
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
I feel you breathing, oh, so close, too close, baby
I hear my conscience, hear my conscience
Oh, I can't turn it off now
I hear my conscience, hear my conscience
You could set the coldest night on fire
Don't know why you've chosen me to seduce
Look into your liberated eyes
As the conversation dies
Don't know why I'm drawn so easily to you
I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good this can't be right, keep me on
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
Feeling the temptation of your touch
Never thought I'd ache for love this much
Those were times of desperation, cut so deep
Never been the time to play around
Don't know what we're doing here right now
Don't know why you're coming at so strong to me
Hey, I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good, this can't be right, can't be
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
I think I hear my conscience calling
You feel too good, this can't be right
I think I hear my conscience calling
What are we doing here tonight?
I feel you breathing, oh, so close, too close, baby
I hear my conscience, hear my conscience
Oh, I can't turn it off now
I hear my conscience, hear my conscience
Carmelia lyrics - Dan Hill
Seems there's always some tragedy
That's tearing at our precious world
Wish sometimes we could just lighten up
Let's take a look around us
Turn off the TV oh let's open our eyes
Look at the stars in the sky
Carmelia, let's dance away the night together
Let's dance until this crazy world disappears
Girl in the morning we will still be here
Carmelia, let's celebrate our lives forever
Let's dance until the stars tumble from the sky
There's music pounding from the radio
Just lean your body into mine
Girl you take me to a better place
There's no one else just you and I
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
Tonight we've got nothing to prove
Carmelia, let's dance away the night together
Let's dance until this crazy world disappears
Girl in the morning we will still be here
Carmelia, let's celebrate our lives forever
Let's dance until the stars tumble from the sky
That's tearing at our precious world
Wish sometimes we could just lighten up
Let's take a look around us
Turn off the TV oh let's open our eyes
Look at the stars in the sky
Carmelia, let's dance away the night together
Let's dance until this crazy world disappears
Girl in the morning we will still be here
Carmelia, let's celebrate our lives forever
Let's dance until the stars tumble from the sky
There's music pounding from the radio
Just lean your body into mine
Girl you take me to a better place
There's no one else just you and I
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
Tonight we've got nothing to prove
Carmelia, let's dance away the night together
Let's dance until this crazy world disappears
Girl in the morning we will still be here
Carmelia, let's celebrate our lives forever
Let's dance until the stars tumble from the sky
Can't We Try lyrics - Dan Hill
I see your face cloud over like a little girl's
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind
I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me
So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid
Don't be afraid, no
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly
I'm not meant to hear
Baby tell me what's on your mind
I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening
Please listen to me girl
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
I hear you on the telephone
With god knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girls that someone should be me
So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid
Don't be afraid, no
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much baby
That it tears me up inside
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
I need you more and more each day
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much baby
Tears me up inside
Never Thought (That I Could Love) lyrics - Dan Hill
Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I know it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I LOVE YOU
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I know it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I LOVE YOU
Perfect Love lyrics - Dan Hill
How can I tell you how I feel inside
Will the truth throw you away
Sometimes I look into your eyes and start to cry
Cause we come so close, then we back away
Are we so afraid to surrender all
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
You and I always walk a slender line
Of what is false and what is real
We're not as fragile
As we sometimes like to feel
We can spend our lives running all the time
Or we can make a stand together
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
You can take off those white gloves
I know what you're dreaming of
You and I are running out of alibi's
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
So close, baby
So close to perfect love
So close, we come so close
We come so close, baby
We come so close to perfect love
Oh, what are we frightened of
So close, we come so close
We come so close to perfect love
Will the truth throw you away
Sometimes I look into your eyes and start to cry
Cause we come so close, then we back away
Are we so afraid to surrender all
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
You and I always walk a slender line
Of what is false and what is real
We're not as fragile
As we sometimes like to feel
We can spend our lives running all the time
Or we can make a stand together
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
You can take off those white gloves
I know what you're dreaming of
You and I are running out of alibi's
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of
Why can't we gamble on desire
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love
So close, baby
So close to perfect love
So close, we come so close
We come so close, baby
We come so close to perfect love
Oh, what are we frightened of
So close, we come so close
We come so close to perfect love
Pleasure Center lyrics - Dan Hill
You with those innocent eyes,
I'm catchin' on to you.
You can run 'til the darkness comes,
But I'll find you.
How can I hold back?
You know what I'm drivin' at.
[CHORUS:]
Take me to your pleasure center.
Make this moment last forever.
Take me to your pleasure center.
(Ecstasy) Ecstasy.
Take me to your pleasure center.
You and I belong together.
Let's burn up the night forever.
Take me to your pleasure center.
You with the touch of an angel,
What a sweet disguise.
There's a demon inside my soul,
Telling me that it's time to let go.
When I contact you,
You know what I'm gonna do.
[CHORUS]
[Instrumental]
How can I hold back?
You know what I'm drivin' at, drivin' at.
[Repeat CHORUS to fade out]
I'm catchin' on to you.
You can run 'til the darkness comes,
But I'll find you.
How can I hold back?
You know what I'm drivin' at.
[CHORUS:]
Take me to your pleasure center.
Make this moment last forever.
Take me to your pleasure center.
(Ecstasy) Ecstasy.
Take me to your pleasure center.
You and I belong together.
Let's burn up the night forever.
Take me to your pleasure center.
You with the touch of an angel,
What a sweet disguise.
There's a demon inside my soul,
Telling me that it's time to let go.
When I contact you,
You know what I'm gonna do.
[CHORUS]
[Instrumental]
How can I hold back?
You know what I'm drivin' at, drivin' at.
[Repeat CHORUS to fade out]
All I See Is Your Face lyrics - Dan Hill
Everytime the phone rings I pray it might be you
That you thought out all the answers
Wanna get back together again
Oh but a strangers voice rings thru my ears
And though I listen you are all I hear
And girl I didn't mean to drive you away
People come and go so fast
But all I see is your face
There's an old man on the corner
Just staring at the sea
I wanna hold him like a broken doll
Ask him if he's lonely like me
The waves crash like a violent dream
The mist flies and the seagulls scream
And the old man he sees nothing just stares into space
And me all I can see is your face
Now I know there are no promises in love
You've gotta give it all you have
And hope that maybe you can share
Maybe you can share your life with someone
A Stranger touches me and all I can feel
Is your embrace
A stranger looks my way
And all I ever see is your face
I've got my songs to protect me
I've got my friends to ease the pain
They say time will heal this emptiness
Girl without you it ain't the same
I don't see any stars tonight
Just the darkness of the city lights
I close my eyes once more and try to escape
And all I can see is your face
That you thought out all the answers
Wanna get back together again
Oh but a strangers voice rings thru my ears
And though I listen you are all I hear
And girl I didn't mean to drive you away
People come and go so fast
But all I see is your face
There's an old man on the corner
Just staring at the sea
I wanna hold him like a broken doll
Ask him if he's lonely like me
The waves crash like a violent dream
The mist flies and the seagulls scream
And the old man he sees nothing just stares into space
And me all I can see is your face
Now I know there are no promises in love
You've gotta give it all you have
And hope that maybe you can share
Maybe you can share your life with someone
A Stranger touches me and all I can feel
Is your embrace
A stranger looks my way
And all I ever see is your face
I've got my songs to protect me
I've got my friends to ease the pain
They say time will heal this emptiness
Girl without you it ain't the same
I don't see any stars tonight
Just the darkness of the city lights
I close my eyes once more and try to escape
And all I can see is your face
Let The Song Last Forever lyrics - Dan Hill
I could spend my whole life writing love songs
If they'd help bring me closer to you
Trying to find the right words
But they all get so blurred
While expressing my feelings, I get so confused
And I can analyze and you can analyze
We can both analyze till we're blue
Let emotions take reign
Let them play their own games
Let the freedom of youth captivate you
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
Now, I know you've been hurt, you've been broken
Life just ain't real without pain
And there's no guarantee
That all ends happily
When you fall you gotta rise up swinging again
And you can run away, I can run away
We can both run till our lives are through
Some people hide till they're hollow inside
Please don't allow that to happen to you
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
I'm so damn tired of hearing songs about pain
There's so much to learn, life's too short now to spend it afraid
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
If they'd help bring me closer to you
Trying to find the right words
But they all get so blurred
While expressing my feelings, I get so confused
And I can analyze and you can analyze
We can both analyze till we're blue
Let emotions take reign
Let them play their own games
Let the freedom of youth captivate you
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
Now, I know you've been hurt, you've been broken
Life just ain't real without pain
And there's no guarantee
That all ends happily
When you fall you gotta rise up swinging again
And you can run away, I can run away
We can both run till our lives are through
Some people hide till they're hollow inside
Please don't allow that to happen to you
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
I'm so damn tired of hearing songs about pain
There's so much to learn, life's too short now to spend it afraid
Let the song last forever, let the song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime, let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own ways
We'll be both walking wiser if walking away
Sometimes When We Touch lyrics - Dan Hill
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
14 Today lyrics - Dan Hill
14 today and you went dancing
Music mixed with laughter
And boys can be so insecure
They made you drink a bit too much
Everything's a blur of feel and touch
Did he really like you
How can you be sure enough
23 today and all your friends are getting married
You say they're so scared of being alone
So self righteously you march though teachers college
Still so much in life you gotta get to know
Seems like everybody's so content to move so slow
And when you think you've got your life so well controlled
It slips away
And the years like raindrops falling from your life are
Washed away
You're so brilliant, you're so gifted, so sensitive, so strong
As you hide behind your barricade of words
But no one got close enough to you to have ever heard
I met you at a party you were drunk and full of world advice
And I was getting nervous
You said you had a child who was a genius and you smiled
As the living room transformed into your circus
Someone whispered you were 39 today a face so you
Eyes so old
You collapsed into the corner
Like somebody of raw nerves you near seduced me
With your verbs
As I reached out for you
You said over and over
Children come home from school
Shout and laugh with all their life
Shit em out fast before you think of the past
Turn out all your lights
Go to bed got to sleep don't think don't feel
As the night time moans a prayer
That maybe somewhere deep inside
There's some meaning aching to be shared
Music mixed with laughter
And boys can be so insecure
They made you drink a bit too much
Everything's a blur of feel and touch
Did he really like you
How can you be sure enough
23 today and all your friends are getting married
You say they're so scared of being alone
So self righteously you march though teachers college
Still so much in life you gotta get to know
Seems like everybody's so content to move so slow
And when you think you've got your life so well controlled
It slips away
And the years like raindrops falling from your life are
Washed away
You're so brilliant, you're so gifted, so sensitive, so strong
As you hide behind your barricade of words
But no one got close enough to you to have ever heard
I met you at a party you were drunk and full of world advice
And I was getting nervous
You said you had a child who was a genius and you smiled
As the living room transformed into your circus
Someone whispered you were 39 today a face so you
Eyes so old
You collapsed into the corner
Like somebody of raw nerves you near seduced me
With your verbs
As I reached out for you
You said over and over
Children come home from school
Shout and laugh with all their life
Shit em out fast before you think of the past
Turn out all your lights
Go to bed got to sleep don't think don't feel
As the night time moans a prayer
That maybe somewhere deep inside
There's some meaning aching to be shared
In The Name Of Love lyrics - Dan Hill
Playin' games again I can feel the apprehension
For every word that leaves your mouth
Is swallowed by the tension
And if indeed it helps at all
I relate to what you're frightened of
'Cause so many things these days have been crushed
In the name of lo-o-ove
Actin' strong again as if you don't really need me
But the weakness that you once betrayed
Turned to be the strength that freed me
And I won't ask a thing of you
That you're not secure in giving of
'Cause so many things these days have been crushed
In the name of lo-ove
Now I know it's not that easy
When you don't know where you stand
At times I think I've never stood at all
Look around you'll see for every woman, child and man
Love has played its games upon us all
Playin' roles again both actin' so defensive
As if some pre-programmed machine
Took over all our senses
I'd trade everything I own
For the thrill of fa-a-allin' in love
'Cause so many things these days have been saved
In the name - of lo-ove
For every word that leaves your mouth
Is swallowed by the tension
And if indeed it helps at all
I relate to what you're frightened of
'Cause so many things these days have been crushed
In the name of lo-o-ove
Actin' strong again as if you don't really need me
But the weakness that you once betrayed
Turned to be the strength that freed me
And I won't ask a thing of you
That you're not secure in giving of
'Cause so many things these days have been crushed
In the name of lo-ove
Now I know it's not that easy
When you don't know where you stand
At times I think I've never stood at all
Look around you'll see for every woman, child and man
Love has played its games upon us all
Playin' roles again both actin' so defensive
As if some pre-programmed machine
Took over all our senses
I'd trade everything I own
For the thrill of fa-a-allin' in love
'Cause so many things these days have been saved
In the name - of lo-ove
Crazy lyrics - Dan Hill
Mmm, you're crazy and all the shrinks in the world
Couldn't help you in any way
You look at me with that spaced out stare
And I have to run away-ay
You say you don't want my money-ey
You say you just want some time
With your fingers in my pockets
You call it love, I call it a cri-i-i-i-i-ime
You say you've finally found yourself
You say you've seen some light
All I see are those empty eyes
Starin' out into the lo-onely night
You're crazy woman, in a crazy world
You're crazy enough to say
I feel orange, I need some company
And five is my number today-ay-ay-ay-ay-yeah
You're losin' touch, any foo-ool can see that much
I feel so helpless I don't know what to say
You'll lose yourself tryin' so hard to prove yourself
While the real world slowly slips away-ay
Your one time friends sense
The madness carved in lines - upon your face
Mmm, you're lonely and one night with me
Won't wash that emptiness aside
Your desperate cry for company
Turns friends to strangers
Your needs once more denied
Reality knows no feelings
It'll leave you far-ar behind
I've just gotta break away from you
Before I lose my mi-i-i-i-i-ind
You wrote yourself a letter, two wee-eeks ago today
Then you made a paper aeroplane
And laughed as it sai-ailed through space
You're losin' touch, any foo-ool can see that much
You turn to me-ee and I ha-ave to turn away-ay
Don't you know, you'll lose yourself
Tryin' so hard to prove yourself
While the real world slowly slips away-ay
Your one time friends sense
The sadness carved in pain - upon your face
Couldn't help you in any way
You look at me with that spaced out stare
And I have to run away-ay
You say you don't want my money-ey
You say you just want some time
With your fingers in my pockets
You call it love, I call it a cri-i-i-i-i-ime
You say you've finally found yourself
You say you've seen some light
All I see are those empty eyes
Starin' out into the lo-onely night
You're crazy woman, in a crazy world
You're crazy enough to say
I feel orange, I need some company
And five is my number today-ay-ay-ay-ay-yeah
You're losin' touch, any foo-ool can see that much
I feel so helpless I don't know what to say
You'll lose yourself tryin' so hard to prove yourself
While the real world slowly slips away-ay
Your one time friends sense
The madness carved in lines - upon your face
Mmm, you're lonely and one night with me
Won't wash that emptiness aside
Your desperate cry for company
Turns friends to strangers
Your needs once more denied
Reality knows no feelings
It'll leave you far-ar behind
I've just gotta break away from you
Before I lose my mi-i-i-i-i-ind
You wrote yourself a letter, two wee-eeks ago today

You turn to me-ee and I ha-ave to turn away-ay
Don't you know, you'll lose yourself
Tryin' so hard to prove yourself
While the real world slowly slips away-ay
Your one time friends sense
The sadness carved in pain - upon your face
McCarthy's Day lyrics - Dan Hill
This is just a song to say
That I'm proud for what they are
And I hope my world can take me
Half that far
Way back in McCarthy's day
My parents left the USA
Young rebellious lovers
They left behind a nation far too proud
And powerful to say
That love transcends all colors
Some black men turned against my father
Some white men turned against my mother
Each race has their place they all would say
And with a past so battle worn
And a future begging to be born
They found a life that's growing still today
And glancing thru the years
And living thru their fears
I hope they can accept my goals
A bit confused, a bit unclear
And all the years behind me now
Seem like a book I've read and yet somehow
I still don't understand all the words
All the black and all the white
That rest in me that make me fight
Remind me of all the knowledge left to learn
Still Some black men turned against my father
Some white men turned against my mother
Each race has their place they all would say
with a past so battle worn
And a future begging to be born
They found a life that's growing still today
And glancing thru the years
And living thru their fears
I hope they can accept my goals
A bit confused, a bit unclear
This is just a song to say that I'm proud for what they are
And I hope my world can take me half that far
Jean lyrics - Dan Hill
You've been a friend of mi-ine for so-o many year-ears
When I first came to Vancouver with drea-eams twisting in fear-ear
And oh Jea-ea-ean, friends are like rare stones
Increasing in their value when realized they can't be owned
And I'd write songs only when the pain became too obvious inside
When the screaming in my sou-ou-oul left me no-o place to hi-ide
And woh-oh Jea-ea-ean, love is li-ike a prayer
So afraid of your own questions as you stand unanswered there-ere-ere
Still you wa-alk the other way rather than risk rejection
Watch the wind blow all hope away as you crawl into yourself for protection
Still I try to make you see there's so much more I've gotta be
Oh don't turn away, don't lose to the cold, don't leave me here-ere to die-ie alo-one
A little of your love couldn't hur-urt me none
Let it shine on through like rays from the su-un
And a little of my love couldn't hurt you none
Let it run beside you, let it flow inside you, let it purify-y-y-y-y-y
You-ou break down and I stumble for the right words of consolation
The circle of love spins rou-ound and round searchin' for new destinations
Woh-oh Jea-ea-ean, life is li-ike the sea-ea
Trapped within it's shoreli-ines we're still strugglin' to break free-ee-ee
Still we wa-alk the other way rather than risk rejection
Watch the wind blow all hope away as we crawl into ouselves for protection
Still I try to make you see, I love you so it frightens me
Woh, don't turn away, don't lose to the cold, nobody wa-ants to die-ie alo-one
A little of your love couldn't hurt me none
Let it shine on through like rays from the su-un
And a little of my love couldn't hur-urt you no-one
Let it run beside you, let it flow inside you,
Let it purify-y-y-y-y-y
When I first came to Vancouver with drea-eams twisting in fear-ear
And oh Jea-ea-ean, friends are like rare stones
Increasing in their value when realized they can't be owned
And I'd write songs only when the pain became too obvious inside

You Are All I See lyrics - Dan Hill
You are all I see
And everythi-ing that's you
Spills into me
And all I wanna be-ee
Is whole enough you see-ee-ee
So I can give to you
As you give to me

And everythi-ing that's you
Beco-omes me-ee
And all I wanna be-ee-ee
Is whole enough you see-ee
So I can give to you
As you give the wor-orld in you-ou
To me-ee...
And everythi-ing that's you
Spills into me
And all I wanna be-ee
Is whole enough you see-ee-ee
So I can give to you
As you give to me
You are all I need
And everythi-ing that's you
Beco-omes me-ee
And all I wanna be-ee-ee
Is whole enough you see-ee
So I can give to you
As you give the wor-orld in you-ou
To me-ee...
Southern California lyrics - Dan Hill
When the sun sets beneath the mountain tops
And the water begins to rise
I try to contain my exci-itement
But the force of the night conquers my surprise
Kids on the street corner peddlin' maps
On how to meet the stars
Prostitute turns, my body burns
She'll cure your loneliness for half an hour
Cars breeze dow-own the avenue
Rock 'n' roll's suspended in mid air
A girl cha-anting nonsense takes my money
Puts a flower in my hair
Billboards grin and my head spins
This may be heaven but it's not my ho-ome
All the sunshine and beautiful people
Make me feel more and more alone
Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come true
Southern California - where everyone's a star except for you
Southern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch
Everyone lives forever here - those were my thou-oughts
And I don't wanna be a part of that all American dream
But still I keep on comin' back, I can't let it get the best of me
(The best of me, best of me)
Lord give me the strength to see myself clearly, see myself clearly
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, and time flies by like a meteor in the sky-y
And I'm wondering is it just me
Everything seems so perfect like some commerical on TV (on TV, TV, TV)
Lord give us the strength to show real feelings, real feelings
In Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come true
In Southern California - where everyone's a star except for you
Southern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here [fade]
And the water begins to rise
I try to contain my exci-itement
But the force of the night conquers my surprise
Kids on the street corner peddlin' maps
On how to meet the stars
Prostitute turns, my body burns
She'll cure your loneliness for half an hour
Cars breeze dow-own the avenue
Rock 'n' roll's suspended in mid air
A girl cha-anting nonsense takes my money
Puts a flower in my hair
Billboards grin and my head spins
This may be heaven but it's not my ho-ome
All the sunshine and beautiful people
Make me feel more and more alone
Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come true
Southern California - where everyone's a star except for you
Southern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch
Everyone lives forever here - those were my thou-oughts
And I don't wanna be a part of that all American dream
But still I keep on comin' back, I can't let it get the best of me
(The best of me, best of me)
Lord give me the strength to see myself clearly, see myself clearly
Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, and time flies by like a meteor in the sky-y

Southern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives forever here
Everyone lives forever here [fade]
Still Not Used To lyrics - Dan Hill
Still not used to havin' people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a child tryin' so har-ard to please
Tryin' to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long
Woh-oh-oh, thought I'd write and say I'm still on the road
Tryin' to share my life with people, most of whom I'll never know
Manitoba skyline goes and goes
Like a thousand miles of canvas stretched fla-at against the sky
Freshly painted colours just waitin' to be drie-ie-ied by time
And do you still play hide and seek with a-all the children in the park
Fill their heads with crazy stories till the daylight is blinded by the dark
Do you still dance through a snowfall
While the flakes perform a ballet in mid air-air-air
I can almost hear you laughin', I wish that I-I was there, to share-are
I'm still not used to havin' people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a child tryin' so har-ard to please
Tryin' to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long
And as I look back on my roots graspin' for faith I still don't understand
My shadow of youth loosens its ho-old on me with tremblin' hands
So I carve the words I miss you out in stone, tossed it in the air
Wished I could fly-y besi-ide it there, I'd fly to you back home
Even the strong need someone to break down with and hold
I'm till not used to havin' people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a chi-ild tryin' so har-ard to please
Tryin' to seek approval through my songs
And do-oo you still love me or have I been away too long
Ooh-hooh-hooh, ooh-ooh-hooh-hooh-hooh-ooh, hooh-ooh
Hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh ...
Guess I'm still a child tryin' so har-ard to please
Tryin' to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long
Woh-oh-oh, thought I'd write and say I'm still on the road
Tryin' to share my life with people, most of whom I'll never know
Manitoba skyline goes and goes
Like a thousand miles of canvas stretched fla-at against the sky
Freshly painted colours just waitin' to be drie-ie-ied by time
And do you still play hide and seek with a-all the children in the park
Fill their heads with crazy stories till the daylight is blinded by the dark
Do you still dance through a snowfall
While the flakes perform a ballet in mid air-air-air
I can almost hear you laughin', I wish that I-I was there, to share-are
I'm still not used to havin' people pay to hear me
Guess I'm still a child tryin' so har-ard to please
Tryin' to seek approval through my songs
And do you still love me or have I been away too long
And as I look back on my roots graspin' for faith I still don't understand
My shadow of youth loosens its ho-old on me with tremblin' hands
So I carve the words I miss you out in stone, tossed it in the air
Wished I could fly-y besi-ide it there, I'd fly to you back home
Even the strong need someone to break down with and hold
I'm till not used to havin' people pay to hear me

And do-oo you still love me or have I been away too long
Ooh-hooh-hooh, ooh-ooh-hooh-hooh-hooh-ooh, hooh-ooh
Hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh ...
Hold On lyrics - Dan Hill
So you flung your fist high in the air
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed
Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
When you're fighting for your life
Just to survive
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream
When you're so damned scared of failure
When the world's burned out it's saviors
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Or else you'll fade
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed
Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
When you're fighting for your life
Just to survive
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream
When you're so damned scared of failure
When the world's burned out it's saviors
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Or else you'll fade
Proposal lyrics - Dan Hill
Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just some flowers
My family just moved in around the corner
Will you be my friend
I touched her on the shoulder
She was fourteen I was barely older
Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just a key
My parents are going away for the weekend
Will you stay with me
It felt my body trembling
High school days were nearly at an end then
[Chorus:]
Time was a blur of emotions
Spinning so fast
And time was a rocket engine
With no end and no beginning
But all time stopped when she said "yes"
Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it - you know I'll never ask again
It's just a ring
At best it's just a symbol of everything
If I can share my life with you
Standing naked in my fear
I could not face her
Then I broke down - my arms embraced her
[Repeat chorus]
Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it
That's how our lives began
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just some flowers
My family just moved in around the corner
Will you be my friend
I touched her on the shoulder
She was fourteen I was barely older
Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just a key
My parents are going away for the weekend
Will you stay with me
It felt my body trembling
High school days were nearly at an end then
[Chorus:]
Time was a blur of emotions
Spinning so fast
And time was a rocket engine
With no end and no beginning
But all time stopped when she said "yes"
Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it - you know I'll never ask again
It's just a ring
At best it's just a symbol of everything
If I can share my life with you
Standing naked in my fear
I could not face her
Then I broke down - my arms embraced her
[Repeat chorus]
Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it
That's how our lives began
I've Been Alone lyrics - Dan Hill
And I've been along - most of my life
I guess it hurt me
But never have I felt so less alone
I beg you darling
Don't desert me
And some believe in love
And some believe it's misplaced feelings
And me - I always change my mind
So many words have lost all meaning
[Chorus:]
And still you come for me
Your eyes too blurred by love
To know just what you see
You make me weak
You make me strong
It's all the same
We share a breath of happiness
We share the pain
Always changing
And I give to you
All I am - all I will be
Life goes by so fast
Together let's grown slowly
[Repeat chorus]
And I've been alone - most of my life
I guess it hurt me
But never have I felt so less alone
I beg you darling
Don't desert me
And some believe in love
And some believe it's misplaced feelings
And me - I always change my mind
So many words have lost all meaning
[Chorus:]
And still you come for me
Your eyes too blurred by love
To know just what you see
You make me weak
You make me strong
It's all the same
We share a breath of happiness
We share the pain
Always changing
And I give to you
All I am - all I will be
Life goes by so fast
Together let's grown slowly
[Repeat chorus]
And I've been alone - most of my life
City Madness lyrics - Dan Hill
Wake up to the madness of the city
Say hello it's a brand new day
Brush my teeth read the paper
Everything is changing so fast it stays the same
Cars attack the city street
City sidewalk - city heat
People push and people fly
No one laughs and no one cries
Someone save me.
Look up - an office building
Stares right back indignantly
Look down - my feet keep moving
Shuffling to the city's endless beat
Billboards tell me what to buy
How to dress and how to die
Traffic signals starts to change
Madness starts all over again
Someone save me.
[Chorus:]
My doctor says I need a brief vacation
Wife says it's just a stage, I'll be alright
Boss says I've got too much imagination
Papers tell me rain again tonight.
Wake up to the madness of the city
Close my eyes and fly to mars
A man jolts my arm I swing out madly
He swings back and I see stars
I curse my world beneath my breath
I curse myself I curse what's left
People push - people fly
No one laughs - no one cries
Someone save me
[Repeat chorus]
Say hello it's a brand new day
Brush my teeth read the paper
Everything is changing so fast it stays the same
Cars attack the city street
City sidewalk - city heat
People push and people fly
No one laughs and no one cries
Someone save me.
Look up - an office building
Stares right back indignantly
Look down - my feet keep moving
Shuffling to the city's endless beat
Billboards tell me what to buy
How to dress and how to die
Traffic signals starts to change
Madness starts all over again
Someone save me.
[Chorus:]
My doctor says I need a brief vacation
Wife says it's just a stage, I'll be alright
Boss says I've got too much imagination
Papers tell me rain again tonight.
Wake up to the madness of the city
Close my eyes and fly to mars
A man jolts my arm I swing out madly
He swings back and I see stars
I curse my world beneath my breath
I curse myself I curse what's left
People push - people fly
No one laughs - no one cries
Someone save me
[Repeat chorus]
Rain lyrics - Dan Hill
And the rain keeps falling
From the clouds in your eyes
As we try to hang on
To the time that's passed us by
And the deeper our love
The harder we cry.
You and I both slaves
To some far away dreams
That binds us as one
Then divide us it seems
That the deeper our drifting
The harder we try
[Chorus:]
And life goes on I suppose
And love can fade
As fast as it grows
Times they may shake us
But nothing can break us
You now.
The trees are still standing
The water stays still
The air tastes so lonely
I fight off a chill
Let this song bid goodbye
Until we return
[Repeat chorus]
And the rain keeps falling
From the clouds in your eyes
As we try to hang on
To the time that's passed us by
And the deeper our love
The harder we cry.
From the clouds in your eyes
As we try to hang on
To the time that's passed us by
And the deeper our love
The harder we cry.
You and I both slaves
To some far away dreams
That binds us as one
Then divide us it seems
That the deeper our drifting
The harder we try
[Chorus:]
And life goes on I suppose
And love can fade
As fast as it grows
Times they may shake us
But nothing can break us
You now.
The trees are still standing
The water stays still
The air tastes so lonely
I fight off a chill
Let this song bid goodbye
Until we return
[Repeat chorus]
And the rain keeps falling
From the clouds in your eyes
As we try to hang on
To the time that's passed us by
And the deeper our love
The harder we cry.
Phonecall lyrics - Dan Hill
Phone broke the silence of the night
I'd been sleeping
And a voice said, "how you doing dan
Thought I'd call you for no reason."
And my mind flashed back two years
Since the last time I'd see her
When the love we'd shared had died
And she said, "things are going well for you
I'm glad you still have music
I remember times you felt so damned confused
I thought you'd lose it
Do you still make crazy faces
At the mirror in the morning
How come you never said goodbye."
[Chorus:]
I chose my words so carefully
But I felt my past seducing me
"slow down", she said
"I just want to be your friend"
I said, "that's the way the whole thing started
And I just can't fall in love with you again
Knowing it'll end."
And all I heard was silence
And I wished she was beside me
Like the first time we made love
And I felt waterfalls inside me
So I tried to dial her number
But my fingers froze
And slowly - I closed my eyes
[Repeat chorus]
I'd been sleeping
And a voice said, "how you doing dan
Thought I'd call you for no reason."
And my mind flashed back two years
Since the last time I'd see her
When the love we'd shared had died
And she said, "things are going well for you
I'm glad you still have music
I remember times you felt so damned confused
I thought you'd lose it
Do you still make crazy faces
At the mirror in the morning
How come you never said goodbye."
[Chorus:]
I chose my words so carefully
But I felt my past seducing me
"slow down", she said
"I just want to be your friend"
I said, "that's the way the whole thing started
And I just can't fall in love with you again
Knowing it'll end."
And all I heard was silence
And I wished she was beside me
Like the first time we made love
And I felt waterfalls inside me
So I tried to dial her number
But my fingers froze
And slowly - I closed my eyes
[Repeat chorus]
All Alone In California lyrics - Dan Hill
He caught her signal
As she strolled in the bar
Amidst all the lonely people
Out to prove they're popular
And he came upon her slowly
Not sure of what to say
Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way
Conversation wandered -
Though their eyes seldom met
They both knew what they were after
And they played it step by step
And his mind was getting foggy
The drinks were coming fast
Momentary friendship - with no future and no past
[Chorus:]
All alone in California
Looking for some fun
His eyes were feeling heaving
He kind of wished that he could run
The colours started spinning
As she kissed away his doubts
The night was just beginning
As his body began to melt¡
She watched the sunrise
While he slept in dreams unknown
And she wondered what his name was
Though she barely knew her own
And she slowly started crying
Though she wasn't white sure why
Trying to fight an emptiness
That haunted her insides.
[Repeat chorus]
As she strolled in the bar
Amidst all the lonely people
Out to prove they're popular
And he came upon her slowly
Not sure of what to say

They both knew what they were after
And they played it step by step
And his mind was getting foggy
The drinks were coming fast

While he slept in dreams unknown
And she wondered what his name was

Question Marks In Time lyrics - Dan Hill
Washed out in the stillness of the night
She's left searching
Once again love's promise has been broken
And he snores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing
As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning
Light years apart - they lie both together
Like a child caught playing with matches
She's been burned again by fire
And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination
The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.
[Chorus:]
And she thinks
She's the only one who's lonely
And she wants the world to feel sorry
And she's trapped
Within her own self pity
And she asks: will anybody love me.
And on the radio an old song sings
Suggesting that love is why we're living
As she turns the station fast.
She looks down at her lover
A friend of a friend of a stranger
As if his mouth might breathe an answer
And she knows she's getting older
The emptiness controls her
And the smoke curls round her fingertips
Like question marks in time
The sun plays with the windows
As the man wakes up beside her
Silences are awkward as he reaches for his clothes
And as he leaves
She feels suspended, invaded and rejected
The cigarette is ended
That's how her story goes
[Repeat Chorus]
And on the radio a new song sings
Suggesting that love is why we're living
Ironically she laughs
As she turns the station fast
She's given up on giving
Washed out in the stillness of the night
She's left searching
She's left searching
Once again love's promise has been broken
And he snores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing
As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning
Light years apart - they lie both together
Like a child caught playing with matches
She's been burned again by fire
And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination
The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.
[Chorus:]
And she thinks
She's the only one who's lonely
And she wants the world to feel sorry
And she's trapped
Within her own self pity
And she asks: will anybody love me.
And on the radio an old song sings
Suggesting that love is why we're living
As she turns the station fast.
She looks down at her lover
A friend of a friend of a stranger
As if his mouth might breathe an answer
And she knows she's getting older
The emptiness controls her
And the smoke curls round her fingertips
Like question marks in time
The sun plays with the windows
As the man wakes up beside her
Silences are awkward as he reaches for his clothes
And as he leaves
She feels suspended, invaded and rejected
The cigarette is ended
That's how her story goes
[Repeat Chorus]
And on the radio a new song sings
Suggesting that love is why we're living
Ironically she laughs
As she turns the station fast
She's given up on giving
Washed out in the stillness of the night
She's left searching
Caroline lyrics - Dan Hill
Well I've been way so long
I'm too numb to dislike it
And la's one big hit song
I never learned to fight it
Dear caroline
It never meant to go this far
It started out to be a game
I never meant to be a star.
And everybody smiles
But their eyes stare out so empty
From a face they scrub with dial
And the words that spill so fancy
Dear caroline
I thought my songs would change the world
Instead of slowly getting rich
Off the emotions of young girls.
[Chorus:]
And what really makes me laugh
Is that nothing's really changed
Since that day I left you years ago
To find myself a name
And what really makes me cry
Is that it's only an illusion
And all that success means
Is just money and confusion.
I've been told you settled down
Found yourself a family
I'll send my latest record down
The critics tell me that it's happening
Dear caroline
There's nothing really left to say
I hope you still remember me
After the songs all fade away.
[Repeat chorus]
I'm too numb to dislike it
And la's one big hit song
I never learned to fight it
Dear caroline
It never meant to go this far
It started out to be a game
I never meant to be a star.
And everybody smiles
But their eyes stare out so empty
From a face they scrub with dial
And the words that spill so fancy
Dear caroline
I thought my songs would change the world
Instead of slowly getting rich
Off the emotions of young girls.
[Chorus:]
And what really makes me laugh
Is that nothing's really changed
Since that day I left you years ago
To find myself a name
And what really makes me cry
Is that it's only an illusion
And all that success means
Is just money and confusion.
I've been told you settled down
Found yourself a family
I'll send my latest record down
The critics tell me that it's happening
Dear caroline
There's nothing really left to say
I hope you still remember me
After the songs all fade away.

Canada lyrics - Dan Hill
Fancy hotel rooms
Windows with a view
Staring into nothing
I thought I saw you
Your colours dancing in my mind
But they were only neon signs
Oh canada
I'm trying to find you
Will you wait for me.
There's people on the street
I know I'll never meet
I wonder what they're thinking
What their dreams are
But they just keep on walking by
I can see the questions in their eyes
Oh canada
You're a tree among towers
Just starting to climb
Please don't grow too quickly now
Don't leave us all behind
Pages of progress start to turn
Too quickly and the pages burn
Let's hope that we don't learn - too late
Let's hope it's never too late to learn
No don't let the madness wash you way.
Life keeps rolling by
Before it goes I'll try
To be stronger - to be wiser
Maybe just understand
What makes people fight to survive
While by themselves they slowly sigh
Oh canada -
Where are you going
Will you wait for me
Oh canada
I'm trying to find you
Will you wait for me
Windows with a view
Staring into nothing
I thought I saw you
Your colours dancing in my mind
But they were only neon signs
Oh canada
I'm trying to find you
Will you wait for me.
There's people on the street
I know I'll never meet
I wonder what they're thinking
What their dreams are
But they just keep on walking by
I can see the questions in their eyes
Oh canada
You're a tree among towers
Just starting to climb
Please don't grow too quickly now
Don't leave us all behind
Pages of progress start to turn
Too quickly and the pages burn
Let's hope that we don't learn - too late
Let's hope it's never too late to learn
No don't let the madness wash you way.
Life keeps rolling by
Before it goes I'll try
To be stronger - to be wiser
Maybe just understand
What makes people fight to survive
While by themselves they slowly sigh
Oh canada -
Where are you going
Will you wait for me
Oh canada
I'm trying to find you
Will you wait for me
You Make Me Want To Be lyrics - Dan Hill
You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control
You make me want to be a teacher
Teach that love is all there is and still there's more
Oh, and everywhere I turn
And everything I learn
Shows me there's something new I've never seen before
Words can only take a thought so far
And I've almost gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow
You make me want to be a writer
Write this world a crazy love song for today
Let me glide upon your smile
It beams for miles and miles
Catch it now before it sails away
Oh, and words can only take a thought so far
And I guess I've gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow
You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control
You make me want to be a teacher
Teach that love is all there is and still there's more
Oh, and everywhere I turn
And everything I learn
Shows me there's something new I've never seen before
Words can only take a thought so far
And I've almost gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow
You make me want to be a writer
Write this world a crazy love song for today
Let me glide upon your smile
It beams for miles and miles
Catch it now before it sails away
Oh, and words can only take a thought so far
And I guess I've gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us as we grow
And we grow, and we grow
You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom for your soul
Oh, and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
A roller coaster riding out of control
Roller coaster riding out of control
Welcome lyrics - Dan Hill
Welcome baby boy
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
You're so tiny that it scares me
Your nakedness just stares at me
And I never thought my head
Could spin so high
Welcome baby boy
Don't look so confused
One day I'll try to sit down and explain
That the love that brought you here
Will never change
You're so helpless that it shakes me
Yet so charged with life you make me
So happy that I think I'm gonna cry
Life has come to greet your child
Play it safe- play it wild
Reach for the truth beyond
The rules beyond the games
Life is yours and yours along
Free to settle - free to roam
Free to grow - free to change
Free to fight to stay the same
Welcome baby boy
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
Oh surprise
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
You're so tiny that it scares me
Your nakedness just stares at me
And I never thought my head
Could spin so high
Welcome baby boy
Don't look so confused
One day I'll try to sit down and explain
That the love that brought you here
Will never change
You're so helpless that it shakes me
Yet so charged with life you make me
So happy that I think I'm gonna cry
Life has come to greet your child
Play it safe- play it wild
Reach for the truth beyond
The rules beyond the games
Life is yours and yours along
Free to settle - free to roam
Free to grow - free to change
Free to fight to stay the same
Welcome baby boy
To a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm
From your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you
By surprise
Oh surprise
Looking Back lyrics - Dan Hill
Looking back at public school
Reading playboy magazine
Insisting that the articles
Were the only things we'd read
Thinking then that love was meant to
Conquer
And if a girl said she liked you
Then you'd bonk her
Don't try to lay that mush on me
Looking back a high school
Getting drunk for the local dance
Lonely boys - nervous girls
Grappling with romance
Thinking then that love
Meant something frightening
A sudden end as brutal
As bolts of lightening
Don't know what it was, but it scared me
[Chorus:]
From one night stands to wedding bands
To struggling to stay free
Watching time move faster
As hold on helplessly
As love smoulders waiting to be tamed
We grow older staying much the same
Looking back a college life
Seemed like such a compromise
Unsure of my direction
Using brains as my disguise
Thinking then that love meant to
Remember
You only felt it's warmth
When you surrendered
Don't know what it was, but it scared me
[Repeat chorus]

Fountain lyrics - Dan Hill
Woman please don't try
Explaining how or why - I understand
Love's too beautiful to explain
And nothing can be wrong
With loving him again
He really loves you
I can see him in your eyes
And like a fountain
You offer no disguise
And babe, I'm glad you've never tried
And the night times that we shared
Made me gratefully aware
That I was happy
So real so undefined
And I just want you to be you
In a lifestyle undefined
You really love him
I can see you in his eyes
And like a fountain
He offers no disguise
And babe, I'm glad he's never tried
I read somewhere
That grown men never cry
Their heart just freezes over
For a day
So instead - here's my masculine
Goodbye
May love be with you all the way
My guitar does all my crying
Anyway
There's happiness combined
With the pain within my mind
You gave me feelings
That I never knew existed
And all you'd do is laugh
And my defenses would be lifted
And I love you
You're sketched so softly in my eyes
And like a fountain
I offer no disguise
And babe, I'm glad I've never tried
Explaining how or why - I understand
Love's too beautiful to explain
And nothing can be wrong
With loving him again
He really loves you
I can see him in your eyes
And like a fountain
You offer no disguise
And babe, I'm glad you've never tried
And the night times that we shared
Made me gratefully aware
That I was happy
So real so undefined
And I just want you to be you
In a lifestyle undefined
You really love him
I can see you in his eyes
And like a fountain
He offers no disguise
And babe, I'm glad he's never tried
I read somewhere
That grown men never cry
Their heart just freezes over
For a day
So instead - here's my masculine
Goodbye
May love be with you all the way
My guitar does all my crying
Anyway
There's happiness combined
With the pain within my mind
You gave me feelings
That I never knew existed
And all you'd do is laugh
And my defenses would be lifted
And I love you
You're sketched so softly in my eyes
And like a fountain
I offer no disguise
And babe, I'm glad I've never tried
Seed Of Music lyrics - Dan Hill
[Chorus:]
The seed of music within me
Has bloomed into a flower
And though it claims to set me free
I'm lost within it's power
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing
Strong and naturally
The gift of music is the key
To all my tears my laughter
And though it claims to set me free
It reigns my life as master
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing
Strong and naturally
And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
And ho let me say this forcefully
Forget the dreams erase the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
[Repeat chorus]
The seed of music within me
Has bloomed into a flower
And though it claims to set me free
I'm lost within it's power
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing
Strong and naturally
The gift of music is the key
To all my tears my laughter
And though it claims to set me free
It reigns my life as master
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing
Strong and naturally
And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
And ho let me say this forcefully
Forget the dreams erase the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all

Growing Up lyrics - Dan Hill
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less kennedy
And I was too young to understand
And the years flew by in colours
Each one a little faster than before
And as the war caused some to cry
I'd identify
My tv keeping score
Growing up - in the shadow of the u.s.a.
Trying to find - the meaning of life today
America - it's a heavy kind of role you
Play
You're the hero - you're the villain
Your every move is on display
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less kennedy
And I was too young to understand
We were all too young to understand
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less kennedy
And I was too young to understand
And the years flew by in colours
Each one a little faster than before
And as the war caused some to cry
I'd identify
My tv keeping score
Growing up - in the shadow of the u.s.a.
Trying to find - the meaning of life today
America - it's a heavy kind of role you
Play
You're the hero - you're the villain
Your every move is on display
Ma cried like a lady
Pa cried like a man
1963 - one less kennedy
And I was too young to understand
We were all too young to understand
Nobody's Right lyrics - Dan Hill
The boy left for new york
He left the woods and trees behind
And no one knows just what's on his mind
He says he's lost - he'll pay any cost
Just to find out where he belongs
But the girl left for the country
She left those blaring lights behind
And no one knows just what's on here mind
She says she's lost - she'll pay any cost
Just to find out where she belongs
[Chorus:]
Nobody's right - nobody's wrong
Everybody's searching
We're all searching for where we belong
The boy lives in a high rise now
He's neighbours with the sky
The mirror in the hallway keeps asking
Why
The silence knows
- that the change will help him grow
Help him to find where he belongs
The girls lives in a cabin now
She gazes at the sky
The shooting stars keep falling
They keep on asking why
The silence knows
The change will help her grow
Help here to find where she belongs
[Repeat chorus]
He left the woods and trees behind
And no one knows just what's on his mind
He says he's lost - he'll pay any cost
Just to find out where he belongs
But the girl left for the country
She left those blaring lights behind
And no one knows just what's on here mind
She says she's lost - she'll pay any cost
Just to find out where she belongs
[Chorus:]
Nobody's right - nobody's wrong
Everybody's searching
We're all searching for where we belong
The boy lives in a high rise now
He's neighbours with the sky
The mirror in the hallway keeps asking
Why
The silence knows
- that the change will help him grow
Help him to find where he belongs
The girls lives in a cabin now
She gazes at the sky
The shooting stars keep falling
They keep on asking why
The silence knows
The change will help her grow
Help here to find where she belongs
[Repeat chorus]
Sour Whiskey lyrics - Dan Hill
Hand me down another whiskey sour
I'm a willing victim to it's spell
And I just can't rebel
I'm far too thirsty and too tired
Hold me like you'd hold a broken soldier
Who's forgotten the meaning of war
Please don't' close that door
I'm about as pure as a children's choir
Sunshine
Can you spread your warmth over me
Chase the clouds from the sky casually
Make me feel like a child
Once again
Sunshine
How does it feel lost in the sky
Is it dizzy looking down from that high
Well you know
You've always got a friend
One more drink and this day'll be over
I can already feel the cold
My jacket I sold
For fifteen dollars worth of booze
One more drink and I'll be off on some
Rainbow
Looking down at this world below
I'm so high that I'm low
But this is the only life I'd choose
I'm a willing victim to it's spell
And I just can't rebel
I'm far too thirsty and too tired
Hold me like you'd hold a broken soldier
Who's forgotten the meaning of war
Please don't' close that door
I'm about as pure as a children's choir
Sunshine
Can you spread your warmth over me
Chase the clouds from the sky casually
Make me feel like a child
Once again
Sunshine
How does it feel lost in the sky
Is it dizzy looking down from that high
Well you know
You've always got a friend
One more drink and this day'll be over
I can already feel the cold
My jacket I sold
For fifteen dollars worth of booze
One more drink and I'll be off on some
Rainbow
Looking down at this world below
I'm so high that I'm low
But this is the only life I'd choose
You Say You're Free lyrics - Dan Hill
You say you're free
Well your freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
You say you're strong
Well your strength just shatters me
As I scramble for my pieces
But the puzzle keeps repeating
It seems so self-defeating
How we plan each move so carefully
[Chorus:]
And still we both hang on
We risk a night and greet the down
AN affair for you - for me a song
Then suddenly it's over
Two cynics passing through
I blew it - I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now m love just turns you colder
you say you're trying to find yourself
Well I know how hard that is
And I wish that I could help you
To share while like keeps teaching
To share while you keep reaching
But you prefer to reach out privately
[Repeat Chorus]
you say you're free
Well you freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
to be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
The pattern goes on endlessly
Well your freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
You say you're strong
Well your strength just shatters me
As I scramble for my pieces
But the puzzle keeps repeating
It seems so self-defeating
How we plan each move so carefully
[Chorus:]
And still we both hang on
We risk a night and greet the down
AN affair for you - for me a song
Then suddenly it's over
Two cynics passing through
I blew it - I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now m love just turns you colder
you say you're trying to find yourself
Well I know how hard that is
And I wish that I could help you
To share while like keeps teaching
To share while you keep reaching
But you prefer to reach out privately
[Repeat Chorus]
you say you're free
Well you freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
to be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
The pattern goes on endlessly
I Dreamt I Saw Your Face Last Night lyrics - Dan Hill
As I gaze into the sky
There's a shooting star that's falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh god I'd love to be free
But there's something wrong, you see
I can't make it
Just with me
I'm lonely...
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And God
I just don't know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true
At times I get this feeling
That there's more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world's falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe
Well everyone's had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone's had dreams that just elude reality
Oh and god Your name's been used
For politics for power
God your name's been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...
There's a shooting star that's falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh god I'd love to be free
But there's something wrong, you see
I can't make it
Just with me
I'm lonely...
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And God
I just don't know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true
At times I get this feeling
That there's more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world's falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe
Well everyone's had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone's had dreams that just elude reality
Oh and god Your name's been used
For politics for power
God your name's been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...

Now there are people
That fall - into my life
Each one can change my world
So slightly
And everyone so different
Yet so much the same
Each and everyone so deep
Inside me
[Chorus:]
I love I hate
I live I die
For every single day
That passes me by
But for all the pain
That meets my eyes
I still believe in people
Now I've been called naive
Just a reckless dreamer
Destined to drown
In all my feelings
Yet I keep on smiling through my tears
Juggling wonderment with tear
Just trying to find some meaning
[Repeat chorus]
There are times when I feel
Like giving it all up
I'll look into myself and see a stranger
Oh and nothing can seem stranger
But I know
I'll come around
And like the fool I am
I'll see this world so much stronger cause that's the way my life lights spins
Until the day it dims
Until my life will be no longer
[Repeat chorus]
That fall - into my life
Each one can change my world
So slightly
And everyone so different
Yet so much the same
Each and everyone so deep
Inside me
[Chorus:]
I love I hate
I live I die
For every single day
That passes me by
But for all the pain
That meets my eyes
I still believe in people
Now I've been called naive
Just a reckless dreamer
Destined to drown
In all my feelings
Yet I keep on smiling through my tears
Juggling wonderment with tear
Just trying to find some meaning
[Repeat chorus]
There are times when I feel
Like giving it all up
I'll look into myself and see a stranger
Oh and nothing can seem stranger
But I know
I'll come around
And like the fool I am
I'll see this world so much stronger cause that's the way my life lights spins
Until the day it dims
Until my life will be no longer
[Repeat chorus]
All I Want Is You lyrics - Dan Hill
I don't want my name in lights
You burn out so fast
You turn to smoke in the night
Baby, all I want is you
I don't want no presidential parlor
It's a little too clean in that big white tower
Baby, all I want is you
I don't wanna be born again
Rest my soul in your hands
Take my chance in the end
Baby, all I want is you
And all, all my life I've waited
For you to come along
There's been so many strangers in my life
Filled with the dark spaces of my night
But now the darkness is all gone
I don't want no social graces
Get too damn dizzy
Wearing all those different faces
Baby, all I want is you
All I want is you
All, all my life I've waited
For you to come along
There's been so many strangers in my life
Filled with the dark spaces of my night
But now the darkness is all gone
I don't want my name in lights
You burn out so fast
You turn to smoke in the night
Baby, all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All, all, all I want is you
All I want is you
You burn out so fast
You turn to smoke in the night
Baby, all I want is you
I don't want no presidential parlor
It's a little too clean in that big white tower
Baby, all I want is you
I don't wanna be born again
Rest my soul in your hands
Take my chance in the end
Baby, all I want is you
And all, all my life I've waited
For you to come along
There's been so many strangers in my life
Filled with the dark spaces of my night
But now the darkness is all gone
I don't want no social graces
Get too damn dizzy
Wearing all those different faces
Baby, all I want is you
All I want is you
All, all my life I've waited
For you to come along
There's been so many strangers in my life
Filled with the dark spaces of my night
But now the darkness is all gone
I don't want my name in lights
You burn out so fast
You turn to smoke in the night
Baby, all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All, all, all I want is you
All I want is you
Daddy's Song lyrics - Dan Hill
I always knew, this time would come
still I'm not ready, is anyone?
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
We had our moments, didn't we though?
thought we'd never speak again, the day I left home.
I was so much like you, swore I'd always be strong,
I guess I was wrong.
Why when it rains, does it always pour?
Why does this pain feel like nothing I felt before?
as a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
Tried so hard to prove myself in your eyes
could never live up to your standards so high.
Brown skin on white sheets, your hand reaches for mine
daddy don't cry.
Ooooh
Why when it rains does it always pour?
As your first son I couldn't have loved you more.
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
Daddy your love for my mother, your wife,
moves me more deeply than all else in my life.
In the hospital bed, she holds you 'till dawn
loves all that lives on.
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
perhaps I was wrong.
still I'm not ready, is anyone?
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
We had our moments, didn't we though?
thought we'd never speak again, the day I left home.
I was so much like you, swore I'd always be strong,
I guess I was wrong.
Why when it rains, does it always pour?
Why does this pain feel like nothing I felt before?
as a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
Tried so hard to prove myself in your eyes
could never live up to your standards so high.
Brown skin on white sheets, your hand reaches for mine
daddy don't cry.
Ooooh
Why when it rains does it always pour?
As your first son I couldn't have loved you more.
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
I guess I was wrong.
Daddy your love for my mother, your wife,
moves me more deeply than all else in my life.
In the hospital bed, she holds you 'till dawn
loves all that lives on.
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on
perhaps I was wrong.

Healing Power Of Love lyrics - Dan Hill
Do you believe in the healing power of love
Or is it just a fantasy, oh?
Do you believe in the power from above?
I feel it between you and me
And I don't have to look in your eyes to know
There's somethin' goin' on here
That's out of our control
This is happenin' too fast for us to fight
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon, shining between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
And we got nothin' but love to pull us through
Love and compassion
(Ooh compassion)
But in this desperation world nothin' else will do
Oh, we can make it happen
(Only we can make it happen)
And you don't have to say a word, I understand
(I am yours only)
When you lay down your love lasts forever
(Waitin' forever)
You will always be my woman
And I will be your man
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon shining between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
Deep in the night when we're so alone
I swear I feel the power that's greater than our own
And how a love unfolds
As we tumble through the darkness to the great unknown
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon shinin' between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
There's a healing power, it's so deep in us
In the darkest hour, there's a healin' power of love
There's a healing power, I can feel it now
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a healing power, deep in all of us
Or is it just a fantasy, oh?
Do you believe in the power from above?
I feel it between you and me
And I don't have to look in your eyes to know
There's somethin' goin' on here
That's out of our control
This is happenin' too fast for us to fight
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon, shining between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
And we got nothin' but love to pull us through
Love and compassion
(Ooh compassion)
But in this desperation world nothin' else will do
Oh, we can make it happen
(Only we can make it happen)
And you don't have to say a word, I understand
(I am yours only)
When you lay down your love lasts forever
(Waitin' forever)
You will always be my woman
And I will be your man
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon shining between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
Deep in the night when we're so alone
I swear I feel the power that's greater than our own
And how a love unfolds
As we tumble through the darkness to the great unknown
There's a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a new horizon shinin' between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine
I feel the rub of the healing power of love
There's a healing power, it's so deep in us
In the darkest hour, there's a healin' power of love
There's a healing power, I can feel it now
In the darkest hour, we can still rise up
There's a healing power, deep in all of us
I Am My Father's Son lyrics - Dan Hill
The strongest man I ever knew
I never was a match for you
Always wanted your attention
Never knew just how to get it
So I rebelled...
Tried to be your opposite
I did it well...
Strange but true
How our lives are like a circle now, I'm very much like you
You were my unsolved mystery
Always barely out of reach
At baseball games when parents came
You were always missing
That's ok...
Had your meetings and promotions anyway
Somehow I knew
The more I tried to be so different, the more I was like you
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The first time that I saw you cry
Was the morning that your daddy died
I stood there in amazement
As you packed up your suitcase
I heard you say...
"Son I need you here to get me through the day"
And through your tears...
Saw the boy inside the man, it was suddenly so clear
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done
I am my father's son
What is love without forgiveness
When all is said and done
You did the best you could
I let go of the anger when I finally understood
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I'll always love you
Cause I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The strongest man I ever knew...
I never was a match for you
Always wanted your attention
Never knew just how to get it
So I rebelled...
Tried to be your opposite
I did it well...
Strange but true
How our lives are like a circle now, I'm very much like you
You were my unsolved mystery
Always barely out of reach
At baseball games when parents came
You were always missing
That's ok...
Had your meetings and promotions anyway
Somehow I knew
The more I tried to be so different, the more I was like you
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The first time that I saw you cry
Was the morning that your daddy died
I stood there in amazement
As you packed up your suitcase
I heard you say...
"Son I need you here to get me through the day"
And through your tears...
Saw the boy inside the man, it was suddenly so clear
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I forgive you
I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done
I am my father's son
What is love without forgiveness
When all is said and done
You did the best you could
I let go of the anger when I finally understood
Memories die hard
Love dies harder still
I'll always love you
Cause I have no choice
When all is said and done
I am my father's son
The strongest man I ever knew...
In Your Eyes lyrics - Dan Hill
And I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love is like a thread
That keeps unraveling in bed
It ties us back together in the end
In your eyes, I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes, I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
And you warned me that life changes
And that know one really knows
Whether time will make us strangers
Or whether time will make us grow
Ohh, even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all, our love will still remain
In your eyes, I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes, I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, you and I
We're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don't you know that love is like a thread
That keeps unraveling in bed
It ties us back together in the end
In your eyes, I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes, I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
And you warned me that life changes
And that know one really knows
Whether time will make us strangers
Or whether time will make us grow
Ohh, even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Through it all, our love will still remain
In your eyes, I can see my dreams reflections
In your eyes, I found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
In your eyes, I can see the reason why our love's alive
In your eyes, you and I
We're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
It's A Long Road lyrics - Dan Hill
It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find
Peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend
Where the road is:
That's the place for me
Where I'm me
In my own space,
Where I'm free -
That's the place
I want to be
'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
And it's hard as well
Tell me what do you do to survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night
You gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend
'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find
Peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend
Where the road is:
That's the place for me
Where I'm me
In my own space,
Where I'm free -
That's the place
I want to be
'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
And it's hard as well
Tell me what do you do to survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night
You gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend
'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
It's a long road
Love Of My Life lyrics - Dan Hill
You are the love of my life
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby baby baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know I know I know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive
And you are the reason I'm alive
And baby baby baby
When I think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And I know I know I know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist
And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'Til the day that I die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'Til you came and saved me from myself
Now all I really know
Is I need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason I'm alive
Never Thought lyrics - Dan Hill
Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real,
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life,
You are the reason, I survived
Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.
Can I hold you?
Girl, your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true
You know, it's true
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you!
I can't believe that you are real,
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life,
You are the reason, I survived
Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.
Can I hold you?
Girl, your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true.
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you.
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love you,
I know it's crazy, but it's true
You know, it's true
I never thought that I could need someone as much as I need you,
I love you!
Seduces Me lyrics - Dan Hill
Everything you are, everything you'll be
Touches the current of love so deep in me
Every sigh in the night
every tear that you cry seduces me
And all that I am and all that I'll be
means nothing at all if you can't be with me
Your most innocent kiss, girl, your sweetest caress
seduces me
I don't care about tomorrow
I've given up on yesterday
Here and now is all that matters
Right here with you is where I'll stay
Everything in this world
Every voice in the night
Every little thing of beauty
Is shining through your eyes
And all that is you
Becomes part of me too,
Cause all that you do seduces me
And if I should die tomorrow,
I'd go down a happy man
I thank God I've ever known you
I fall down on my knees
For all the love we've had
Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me, oh, seduces me
And all that you do seduces me.
Touches the current of love so deep in me
Every sigh in the night
every tear that you cry seduces me
And all that I am and all that I'll be
means nothing at all if you can't be with me
Your most innocent kiss, girl, your sweetest caress
seduces me
I don't care about tomorrow
I've given up on yesterday
Here and now is all that matters
Right here with you is where I'll stay
Everything in this world
Every voice in the night
Every little thing of beauty
Is shining through your eyes
And all that is you
Becomes part of me too,
Cause all that you do seduces me
And if I should die tomorrow,
I'd go down a happy man
I thank God I've ever known you
I fall down on my knees
For all the love we've had
Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me, oh, seduces me
And all that you do seduces me.
Unborn Heart lyrics - Dan Hill
When she told me
She was gonna have a baby
A part of me went weightless
For the first time in my life
There was nothing I could say
It's like a miracle from the stars above
Paralyzed with fear
I was overcome with love
She said soon you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
I said something stupid like
How are you feeling?
She smiled the warmest smile I've ever seen
Oh, I guess that said it all
Now we're a far cry
From the storybook romance
Something in her eyes made me crumble
I reached out for her hand
She said soon, you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
Now we all know how crazy
This world can be sometimes
And I lie awake at night and wonder
How a child survives
Beyond the danger in the strangers
And the inhumanity
Lord give us strength to someday
Find a world that lives in peace
Oh
Soon, you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
Oh, I can almost hear the beating
She was gonna have a baby
A part of me went weightless
For the first time in my life
There was nothing I could say
It's like a miracle from the stars above
Paralyzed with fear
I was overcome with love
She said soon you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
I said something stupid like
How are you feeling?
She smiled the warmest smile I've ever seen
Oh, I guess that said it all
Now we're a far cry
From the storybook romance
Something in her eyes made me crumble
I reached out for her hand
She said soon, you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
Now we all know how crazy
This world can be sometimes
And I lie awake at night and wonder
How a child survives
Beyond the danger in the strangers
And the inhumanity
Lord give us strength to someday
Find a world that lives in peace
Oh
Soon, you'll hear the beating
Of an unborn heart, this is the answer
You've been searching for so hard
And for the first time in my life I felt
The wave of love so deep
As I listened for the unborn child's heartbeat
Oh, I can almost hear the beating
