IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW (PETER CETERA)
(Don´t go, please don´t go...)
If you leave me now, you´ll take away the biggest part of me
no, baby, please, don´t go!
And...you´ll take away the very heart of me...
...A love like ours is love that´s hard to find
How could we let it slip away?
We´ve come too far to leave it all behind,
how could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we´ll both regret things we said today...

NEXT TIME I FALL (PETER CETERA)
Love like a road that never ends,
how it leads me back again to heartache, I´ll never understand.
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
´till the moment was right, and I told myself
the next time I fall in love, I´ll know better what to do...
...It will be with you.
Now, as I look into your eyes, well, I wonder if it´s wise
to hold you like I´ve wanted to before.
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine...
...Next time I´m gonna follow through
and if it drives me crazy I will know better why.
The next time I try...

DO YOU LOVE ME THAT MUCH (PETER CETERA)
Sometimes, at night, I lay awake,
just to watch you sleep, hear each breath you take.
When the morning lights your face,
I just wanna hold you, and forget the day.
I live and breathe your every touch
Do you love me...that much?
When you look at me across the crowded room,
suddenly, I wanna be alone with you.
I hang on every word that leaves your lips,
anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss.
Enough of you is not enough...
...For so long, I´ve been trying to believe,
that someday, you´ll fall as deep as me.
But it´s just not there, love isn´t always fair.
Would you want the best for me?
And I hope I find the kind of love you can´t feel for me.
Could you find it in your heart?
To end this thing right now, before it´s gone too far,
let me go and give me up...

FEELS LIKE HEAVEN (PETER CETERA)
All through my wandering years, I always said I was biding my time.
All alone in the dark, I´d face my fears,
that no other heart would come to mine.
At first, when you found me, it took me a while ´till I realized
why I felt weak when you were around me,
why I couldn´t speak when I looked in your eyes.
All this time I´ve been searching,
until you, I was lost in my dreams.
And I never knew that love could feel like heaven watching over me.
Oh! Wherever you are, invisible hands reach over the miles.
For every wish you make to the stars
there´s one silent kiss I send to the sky...
...Everything´s changed since you came my way
´cause you put the color in the world of grey
and you make the love that carries me away...feels like heaven...

YOU´RE THE INSPIRATION (PETER CETERA)
You know our love was meant to be,
the kind of love that lasts forever.
And I need you here with me from tonight until the end of time.
You should know, everywhere I go,
you´re always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul.
You´re the meaning in my life, you´re the inspiration.
You bring feeling to my life...
...Wanna have you near me, I wanna have you hear me sayin´:
"No one needs you more than I need you".
And I know, yes, I know, that it´s plain to see,
we´re so in love when we´re together.
And I know that I need you here with me...

I WASN´T THE ONE -WHO SAID GOODBYE- (PETER CETERA)
Your eyes and my eyes haven´t talked in quite a while,
seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile.
There´s a dark cloud that´s hanging above, memories never lie.
Still we talk about the way that it was,
and I think we both know the feeling hasn´t died.
I wasn´t the one who said goodbye, oh, no...!
...who disappeared in the night,
and I won´t be the one to say that we can´t try.
Your touch and my touch haven´t spoken for some time
You say we´ve both changed and your always on my mind,
I can tell you that it´s over and done, but I would only lose
being close to the one that I want.
So go on and ask me if I´m still in love with you...
...There was no need for you to ask, please, don´t ask.
You oughta know by now, ooo babe, I want you back...

SHE DOESN´T NEED ME ANYMORE (PETER CETERA)
Don´t know when she started changing,
don´t know how it´s come to this.
Seems like yesterday she was in my arms, begging for a kiss,
now, the winds of change are blowin´ and they´re taking her away.
I will do my best not to hold her back,
but there´s nothing more to say, she doesn´t need me,
she´s gonna leave me, she needs some time on her own.
I should have told her, now, I can´t hold her,
wish it could be like before, but she doesn´t need me anymore.
It´s so hard to watch, believe me, it´s so hard to be alone.
I just hope and pary that there´ll come a day,
she´ll find the road back home...
...If I pretend to be happy, I´d only be fooling myself,
´cause here, in my heart, I know that I´m dying
and it´s tearing me apart, baby, I´m crying...!
...But she doesn´t need me now...

BABY, WHAT A BIG SURPRISE (PETER CETERA)
Right before my very eyes, I thought that you were only fakin´ it,
and like before my heart was takin´ it.
Baby, what a big surprise...!
...Yesterday, it seemed to me
my life was nothing more than wasted time,
but here, today, you´ve softly changed my mind...
...Just to be alone was a little more than I could take,
then you came to stay, hold me in the morning,
love me in the afternoon, help me find my way...
...I wanna take forever tonight, feel your breath on my shoulder,
and I know we couldn´t get any closer.
I don´t wanna act tough, I just wanna fall in love.
As we move into the night, I get crazy
thinking how it´s gonna be with you, baby.
I don´t wanna play rough I´ve been loving you enough
Oh, baby...!
...Wanna stay in this moment forever,
I´m gonna give you all the love that I´ve got...
...Fill you up...with love.
When we close the door, all I need is in your eyes...
...Touch my lips, I´m on fire, you´re the only one I´ll ever desire.
Turn the lights down low, make the world go slow.
When I´m holding you tonight it´s so easy,
nothing moves me like you do when you tease me,
and to rush would be a crime,
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby...
...And when I´m here beside you,
I wanna see what drives you out of your mind.
I never wanna leave, I only wanna be with you
´cause I love how you feel, your love is so real...
...´cause I can´t live without you...

AFTER ALL (PETER CETERA)
Well, here we are again, I guess it must be fate.
We´ve tried it on our own but deep inside we´ve known
we´d be back to set things straight.
I still remember when your kiss was so brand new.
Every memory repeats, every step I take retreats,
every journey always brings me back to you.
After all the stops and starts,
we keep coming back to these two hearts.
Two angels who´ve been rescued from the fall...
...that we´ve been through, it all comes down to me and you.
I guess it´s meant to be, forever you and me...
...When love is truly right, -this time it´s truly right-,
it lives from year to year, it changes as it goes, Oh!
and on the way it grows, but it never disappears...
...Always just beyond my touch, you know I needed you so much...
...what else is livin´ for...?

S.O.S. (PETER CETERA)
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find.
I tried to reach for you but you have closed your mind.
Whatever happened to our love, I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice...so good.
So when you´re near me, darling, can´t you hear me?
S.O.S.!!!
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me...
...When you´re gone, how can I even try to go on...?
...Though I try, how can I carry on?
You seem so far away, though you are standing near.
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear.
I really tried to make it out...
What happened to our love...?
