YOU’RE COMING AROUND AGAIN

It's been years since you’ve been gone
But it was only yesterday my tears dried
Now you’re back with that look in your eyes
Yes, I remember you
But you’ll pardon surprise

You must have thought that I would wait for you
Was I that easy to find
Were you're left-over dreams of the past
Supposed to work this time

How did you wake your feelings
What was it that you missed
Did you long to see me one more time
Just to see if I could exist

And it looks like you are coming round again
Yes, it looks like you are coming round again

Was it too lonely for you out there
Or was I just to close to bear
Your love seems to come and go with the tide
How do I start forgetting where we left off
Tell me how do you take back - goodbye

Show me how to open my arms that wide
I can’t remember the last time I tried
There's something I need to tell you
And I think it's only fair
That since you left I’ve forgotten how to care

And it looks like you are coming round again
Yes, it looks like you are coming round again
It looks like you are coming round again.
Yes, it looks like you are coming round again

You're Coming Around Again

THESE ARE THE TIMES

These are the times
That try my soul
These are the times
That try my soul

I saw someone today, who I thought was you
It was the way she looked, as she left the room
A memory reached back from long long ago
All because she turned her head just so

A woman cries and I look her way
It sounded just like you, just like yesterday
A familiar voice comes from down the hall
Just another memory to haunt me, that's all

I hear a laugh and suddenly I can't breathe
For just that moment, I can see
Some that said, they just had to go
Somehow I forgot, you left years ago

These are the times
That try my soul
These are the times
That try my soul

You're the one I can't seem to forget
The one that I won't forget yet
For just that instant, it sounded like you
And one more time I turn away
Feeling like a fool

I remember the way you looked, when you walked away
You left a debt, that I continue to pay
When you turned your back, you didn't even cry
Do you ever think of me, and how hard I tried

When lovers dance and music plays
In the quiet times and in simple ways
That's when I miss you the most
I am so tired of chasing your ghost

These are the times
That try my soul
These are the times
That try my soul

These Are The Times

The Way I Want To Feel

Lost in love, so safe and sound
I would not care even if I’m found
A passion play that goes on and on
To stand upright and be so strong

That’s the way I want to feel
Dream a dream and make it real
Won’t you hear my sad appeal
That’s the way I want to feel

Is that too much to ask
Such a monumental task
I’ve heard it said before
You should never ask for more
What is wrong with me
Is it something you can see
I could be your one
I’ve already begun

An open heart like an open book
To fall in love with just one look
To tell my secrets with no alibis
To see just me locked within your eyes

To hear my name like I’ve never heard
To live my days like it’s now my turn
To move from loss without the fear
To be brave enough to hold you near

Is that too much to ask
For one simple dance
You can leave when the music fades
I’ve got nothing to trade
Just a single rhyme and tune
While I try to reach for you
I know that that’s not much
In return for a gentle touch.


Time stands still, while love evolves
To give my life without a thought
Fantasies that were never true
To discover that it was always you

That’s the way I want to feel
Dream a dream and make it real
Won’t you hear my sad appeal
That’s the way I want to feel

That’s the way I want to feel
That’s the way I want to feel
Dream a dream and make it real

The Way I Want To Feel

IT WILL ALWAYS BE

Take me in your arms
Try it one more time
Maybe then you’ll see
It can always be

Give yourself some time
Take a chance on me
It’s not too late to say
It could always be

What were those words again
Do you believe they’re true
Explain the change to me
I’d do the same for you

Please don’t turn away
Fight your fantasies
Can’t you create the need
That will always be

Look at me again
And listen to my plea
Remember there was love
That would always be

You’ve set your mind to go
And walk away from me
So that’s the way it is
And will always be

It Will Always Be

SOMEONE FOR RIGHT NOW

When the sun goes down
In the afterglow
And night comes by my window

I don't understand
How you can feel this sad
When memories start to grow

If I could just see
Who could be
Someone for right now

Just to find some release
And a moment's peace
Would mean the world to me

It's a lonely walk
For a quiet talk
With a heart breaking silently

If I could just see
Who could be
Someone for right now

There'd be no demands
No future plans
There's little that I would ask

She wouldn't have to stay
She could walk away
After this moment's past

When the music's low
And dancer's stroll
When the final song is played

I'd give all I had
Not to feel this bad
At the close of every day

If I could just see
Who could be
Someone for right now




There'd be no demands
No future plans
There's little that I would ask

She wouldn't have to stay
She could walk away
After this moment's past

When it starts to rain
I look forward again
To a melancholy time

Isn't there for me
Someone who'd be
For that one moment mine

If I could just see
Who could be
Someone for right now.

Someone For Right Now

Valentines Day Waltz

On a cold winters day
In a small country church
On a hill
Not far from our town

We gathered back then
Before family and friends
To start a new life
On our own

In an old gingham dress
That your Grandmother wore
And me in a suit
Way too small

The old ring that I carried
My Mother had cherished
While you took my hand
As well as my name

The vows that we made
When wedding bells rang
On my favorite Valentines Day


We danced through the night
And I held you so tight
The hours
They fell just like rain

It seemed to me
Just like touching a dream
One I hoped
Never would end

As we rode away
With a song
And a wave
With the little
My brothers had saved

And I watched the sun rise
As I looked in your eyes
With hope and a prayer
And a future to share

The vows that we made
When wedding bells rang
On my favorite Valentines Day

Valentines Day Waltz

Little Boy

The little boy keeps asking me the questions I don’t know
He doesn’t realize I make it up as I go
I can see the expectations as you look into my eyes
He thinks I’m sure to have the answers, if I just try

I wish that I could tell you all the things you need to know
About love and loss, and fables, that just aren’t so
How to walk and talk and scheme and pretend just like a man
And all the things you shouldn’t do, but will do, because you can

But one thing that I know
As I watch you grow
The lessons that you learn
Will be the ones you earn
Will be the ones you earn

I can show you how to run and jump and ride a pony too
I’m afraid that I can’t teach you all the things I never knew
Your time as a little boy will quickly pass me by
I’ll miss it as you run outside, forgetting to say good-bye

How can I protect you from the pain of a broken heart
With all my time and years, I couldn’t show you where to start
But with your lovely face and sweet bye-and-bye
I know you’ll find the very one to stand by your side

But one thing that I know
As I watch you grow
The lessons that you learn
Will be the ones you earn
Will be the ones you earn

In the end, I hope you’ll come to learn all the love I have for you
You’ll be happy with your life and all your dreams will come true
I’ll do my best to make your travels as easy as I can
Maybe you can forgive all these fears, of your old man

Little Boy

Can’t You Believe In Me

Can’t you just tell me what you want from me
Why don’t you just come out and come clean with me
Does it always have to be the same old tired scene
Won’t you please just put me out of my misery

Do I look like a dog who has got no tail
Do I look like a guy who is in heaven or hell
Do you think you could give me a hint or maybe a sign
I’m stumbling around this town as if I was half-blind

Can’t you believe in me
All that I’m trying to be
A not so silent plea
Can’t you believe in me

I’m tired of this confused look on my ragged face
I can’t even find the steps I need to retrace
I’m lost in love without a chance of bail
The tide’s going out and I remember, I’ve got no sail

There should be a way that I can get through to you
It seems as though all the other lovers do
I wish to God I could read your confused mind
That’s the only way than I can see to save mine

Can’t you believe in me
All that I’m trying to be
A not so silent plea
Can’t you believe in me
