I'D DO IT OVER AGAIN


You got a way. I will say
You always did know how to make me feel fine.
And now I wait, counting the days
Never knowing love until you were gone.
You hold my smile now when I think of you.

I wouldn't change a thing. I'd do it over again.
And shout out love for the rest of my life that I do.

Slow down, don't run
You know we've just begun
This is no solo flight
Through this crazy life.
We have all that we need and that is enough.

(CHORUS)
I wouldn't change a thing
I'd do it over again.
And shout out love for the rest of my life that I do.
Make no mistake about this presence of mine.
I'm only following
This burning heart of mine
that takes me right back to you.

I was alone until you stole
The darkness that used to
keep me up at night.
And now I wait, counting the days
Never knowing love until you were gone
You are the one desire always with me.

(chorus)

WALK ACROSS THE WATER

Here I am
my hands held wide
please say you'll stay with me
and hold me tonight
And I will sing the lullabies that fill the streets
And walk across the water to hear you speak to me, to me
I will sing the lullabies that fill the streets
And walk across the water to hear you speak to me
to me

Will you save it all for just another day?
Will you watch this love go down the street away
And hope for another day?

Here I am
so treat me right
Take every breath from me
To last you a life
So maybe when your older, yeah, you're pretty and gray
You will tell your grandchildren all about the days
How the love you had was something
Something so right, no insightful wishful thinking
Your precious time
Was the crackerjack prize
And you threw it away
Like a hummingbird you flew to another day.

(CHORUS)

(LEAD)

(CHORUS)

I will sing the lullabies that fill the streets
And walk across the water to hear you speak to me, to me
I will sing the lullabies that feel the streets
And walk across the water to hear you speak to me, to me to me .

LUBA FLOWER


Luba Flower, see how much has grown.
It's beyond our control, this I know.
Luba Flower, you must set me free
To love and to dream
It happened so soon.
Now you have to
Let me go.
Let me go.


Luba Flower, you must take a chance
Let go of my hand.
And don't be sad.
Luba Flower, see me waving good-bye
I'm stepping through time
And I'll be fine.

(CHORUS)
And if cold nights follow
I'll have you around.
And the warm winds you send for me
I've found.

(SOLO)

(CHORUS)

Luba Flower, see how much has grown.
It's beyond our control.
This I know.
Luba Flower, see me waving good-bye
I'm stepping through time
And I'll be fine.

(CHORUS 2X)

Luba flower see how much has grown.

NEW LOVE


So sweet so fine it's finally that time
And things are so much better with this
New love that I found.
Picture perfect standing there you brought on the light
And things are so much better with this
New love that I found.
Flowers falling from the sky take our time
Like lovers playing under the moon
And so you have my heart in the palm of your hands
And things are so much better with this
New love that I found.

I knew it had to be you.
I knew it had to be you.

I look to my left -and then to my right
Things are so much better with this
New love that I found
No second thoughts could change my mind
Not this time because I finally found
A different road to take.
With dreams we share and promises
That last through the night
Yes things are so much better with this
New love that I found.

I knew it had to be you
I knew it had to be.
(Lead)
(Repeat 2nd verse)

INTERNET MAN

Out with the old
in with the new
there's a new breeze blowing.
Took no time
it just happened overnight
There's a new breeze blowing.

I didn't see it coming
Don't just sit back
Time won't wait
So don't just sit back
Together we are strong
Remember to move forward,
Never move back
And when the day is done
Remember to move
Forward and never move back.

Now is the time
To make it right
There's a new breeze blowing.
The first step is the biggest step
It's the hardest step to take.
Like the speed of light
It just cuts right through the air
And it leaves you standing there
- You can't believe.


You never see him coming
Internet man
He's faster then God
That internet man.
But together we are strong
Remember to move
Forward and never move back.
And when the day is done
Remember to move forward and never move back.
Move forward and never move back

(SOLO)
(REPEAT 1ST VERSE)
Watch out! Here comes the internet man.

TELL ME THE THINGS
YOU WANT

Hello my friend,
Hello again,
Ooh you're looking good tonight
And I just want to swim
Inside your love, I'll drown in your sea
Tell me can I come in?
Tell me is the water deep
(Chorus)
Just tell me the things you want
Tell me the things you need
Tell me the things you want
Tell me the things that you need


Tell me the things you
Tell me the things you
Tell me the things you want (repeat)
I don't understand why you can't comprehend.
The lines on my hands line up with the lines
On your hands.
It's a perfect match, now look and see
I'm sinking in your shadow, baby
Come on rescue me.

(Chorus)

FREE TO CHOOSE

Another fine suburban morning
A little prayer I'm on my way
When someone says how ya doing
I tell them I doing just great
I was talking to some strangers
They crossed some border yesterday
They looked around and said it blows them away
How much their lives have changed
They looked around and said it blows them away
How much their life has changed
(CHORUS)
Free to choose-I'm free to choose
Free to choose-I'm free to choose
There comes a time when you'll look back
And wish you had taken more chances
The moments that breathe life into your heart
Remember those and you'll make it.

My best friend's having a baby
She's getting bigger everyday
The change in time and taste
Sure shows her how our lives have changed
All I ever wanted was just a peace of mind.
Yes, all I ever wanted was just a peace of mind.
Free to choose.


(CHORUS)

LOVES LOST

The fire stings and it burns
No chance of relief in my sight
A melting heart no longer like gold
A fading candle and love's lost.
And how can you be so blind to what's going on...
How could you tell your lies?
What's going on.
So I keep telling myself that.
(CHORUS)
I don't care if I'm doing it right
I can walk with grace
Any road that I choose will take me somewhere.

No more time to disguise or to hide
Now there's no one to blame.
With everything you touch
No more, and never again.
And how can you be so blind to what's going on?
How could you tell your lies? What's going on?
So I keep telling myself that.

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
And all the time we spent
Head on one a one-way street
And now the only regret
Was my heart bleeding..............................................................(SOLO)

And how can you be so blind to what's going on?
How could you tell your lies? What's going on?
So I keep telling myself that...

(CHORUS)REPEAT 2X
You blew out the flame, you blew out the flame
You blew out the flame you walk away now you have nothing.
You blew out the flame you walk away now you have nothing
You blew out the flame you walked away now you have nothing.
You blew out the flame ----- now nothing.

LET IT GO

Dancing to the music down on arboles
Mota-bella lynbabe always looking so sweet
Come right here baby turn my volume up
'Cause what I got to show you
You ain't never gonna stop.
(CHORUS)
I'll let it go-let it go
let it go-honey let yourself go


Another Friday partied into Saturday night
Baby took me by the hand and held me so tight
Went through under cover might as well rock n roll
Yea I'm gonna turn you on and make you beg for more
(CHORUS)
Well hey sweetheart
What do you say we dance?
I think it's about that time that you empty your glass
I been dying all night just to talk to you
'cause I feel so good, Yeah, how about you?
(CHORUS)
So move a little closer show me what you can do
Move your hips forward and just let it take place
Relax my pretty baby let our bodies be at ease
It's gonna be right, right between you and me
(CHORUS)
So it's still another Friday to a Saturday night
And my ba-ba-ba-ba-baby
You're just looking so right
Ooh I love the way you move the way you come on in
That's why I made my best moves- my best moves ooh
And she said you know you got the moves that make me tick
Well, I said I know-just watch my backbone slip
Yeah- I make no promises or any guarantees
I'm here to rock n roll tonight I know just what you need.
(CHORUS)

PENNY


It's me knocking at the door
I guess I'll knock once more
I heard Penny on the other side.
Shakes her butt as I walk in.
Dressed to kill ready for sin.
She's out of control she's reckless and wild.


(CHORUS)
And all she wants is to have a little fun
Yes all she really wants is to have some fun.
Well. All she really wants is to have a little fun
And no one's gonna take that away.
I said no one's gonna take that away.


She's not the type that you may think
She's quite content has all she needs
And every day she wears a smile
She says that I'm her candy store
And all she wants from me is more.
She's out of control she's reckless and wild


(CHORUS)


(SOLO)

REPEAT 1ST VERSE TO CHORUS

TIME OF MOURNING


Never had the world fall on me this way
My soul was taken back
My conscience stripped away
Had I known at the time,
I would have done things just a little bit different
Would have said more things but I didn't
Had I known at the time, I would have said something


(CHORUS)


And the time of mourning
I hope it doesn't come too soon
The time of mourning
Hope it doesn't come too soon
This time of mourning. it takes you to the limit.
Yes it takes you to the limit.


What are you to do
When faith gets in the way?
Take it by the hand and hold on until the day
When you start to feel all alone
For now I'm just a prisoner locked up in my head
Waiting for an answer I'm praying for an end
To this craziness
I should have done things just a little bit different
Would have said something but I didn't
Had I known at the time
I would have said something.


(CHORUS)
(SOLO)


And the time of mourning
Hope it doesn't come too soon
The time of mourning
Hope it doesn't come too soon
This time of mourning
It takes you to the limit
Yes it takes you to the limit.
Yes it takes you to the limit.

TURN MY HEART AROUND


Ain't it so funny how time flies by?
One day it's here and gone
You take one step back and you look around
Remember how it was.
We spent the winter months holding on together
We watched the children grow
And all the loved ones that came and went
Memories we always will hold.
And ooh were getting older
After all this time I still can say
I cry out - oohh ooh oh

(Chorus)
That's why I love you, babe
You really turn my heart around
Yeah, I still love you
You really turn my heart around


(LEAD)


Yeah, all the odds were against us even making it
That would not stop us, no.
You stood there on the edge just wearing a grin
Took my hand and said now let's go home.
We even said we would never change
We never thought we would
Well, the years just keep on passing us by
But the look in your eyes is the same.
And ohh ohh we're just getting older
After all this time I still can say
I cry out. ooo ohhh ohhhhh


(CHORUS)
