1. _ More Than A Feeling
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day,
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and i slipped away...
It's more than a feeling,
when i hear that old song they used to play
(more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(more than a feeling)
'till i see marianne walk away...
I see my marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet i still recall, as i wander on
As clear as the sun, in the summer sky...
It's more than a feeling, when i hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till i see marianne walk away...
I see my marianne walkin' away
When i'm tired and thinkin' cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl, i used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away...
She slipped away.
It's more than a feeling,
when i hear that old song they used to play...
(more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming,
(more than a feeling)
'till i see marianne walk away...
I see my marianne walkin' away...

2. _ Party
Well you know I don't get off on workin' day after day
I wanna have some fun while I'm here
I play the game when it's goin' my way
And there's nothing' like a party when it's kickin' into gear
I'm gettin' ready for a party tonight, yes I'm gettin' ready to cruise
And if you've got somethin' for me, I've got somethin' for you
(Chorus)
Baby, it's a party and nobody cares what we're doin' there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
I can't believe it when some people say
That it's a sin the way we live to die
You know, there's never been a more natural thing
Yea there's a brand new story, but it's the same old lie
So come on, get ready for the time of your life
'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
And if you've got somethin' for me, I've got somethin' for you
Baby, it's a party and nobody cares what we're doin' there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
Yea yea yea yea get down and party if you need a cue
You're sure to find one in the crowd
Just meet some friends and have a toke or two
In a place where they can never play the music too loud
Get ready for a party tonight
'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
And if you've got somethin' for me, I've got somethin' for you
Baby, it's a party and nobody cares what we do in there
Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
It's a party, party, party!
You know a man doesn't live on bread alone
He's got to have some lovin' each and every night
And a woman's got to have it if the truth be known
Let's get together honey, it's alright.
Oh. Get down an' party.
(Tom Scholz, Brad Delp)

5. _ Amanda
Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Another day.
Knowing I love you.
And I - I'm gettin' too close again.
I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light.
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand.
Amanda
I love you.
And, I feel like today's the day.
I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya.
So it may be too soon
I know.
The feelin' takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand.
Amanda
You and I - I know that we can't wait.
And I swear - I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You - you and I girl - we can share a life together.
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late.
And, feelin' the way I do,
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you.

6. _ Tell me
I stand on my own
And wonder if you've ever been alone
With all the world around you
Say the word, I'd be there
And like a fool I'd go anywhere
Just like the day I found you
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
I don't understand what to say
You take my breath and then you
walk away
Your life goes on without me
And you can look right at me
But in your eyes it's a mystery
What do you feel about me?
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you see
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell what to give
Tell me how to live for your love
Tell me not to leave
Tell me to believe in your love
I don't really know what to say
I don't know how but I could learn to pray
If praying makes you hear me
I could stay on my own
And wonder if I'd have ever known
I just want you near me
Tell me if it's real
Tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you need
Tell me you believe in my love
Tell what to give
Tell me how to live for your love
Tell me what you see
Tell me to believe in your love

7. _ Don't Look Back
Don't look back,
(A new day is breakin')
It's been too long since i felt this way...
I don't mind, (where i get taken)
The road is callin'
Today is the day...
I can see,
It took so long just to realize,
I'm much too strong
Not to comprimise...
Now i see what i am is holding me down,
I'll turn it around,
Oh, yes I will.
I finally see the dawn arrivin',
I see beyond the road i'm drivin'...
Far away and left behind...
It's a new horizon (and i'm awakin' now)
Oh i see myself in a brand new way,
The sun is shinin'
(The clouds are breakin')
'cause i can't lose now, there's no game to play...
I can tell,
There's no more time left to criticize,
(I've seen what i could not recognize)
Everthing in my life was leading me on...
But i can be strong,
Oh, yes I can.
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road i'm drivin'
Far away and left behind

8. _ Livin' For You
Livin' without you never could be so wrong,
Don't need to say it, Ibnever waited so long,
Thinking about you in everthing I do,
Love for giving
You know i'm just livin' for you.
And I, I never needed to lie,
Can't you see I believe in my heart when i'm saying
It's love that you see,
You're just the one for me,
I'm praying
Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now
Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow
Happened so easy, don't need to think it through
It's not so amazing
Been going so crazy for you.
Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true
You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you
Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know
I won't deny it
You're everywhere I try to go.
And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see i believe in my heart when i'm saying,
It's love that you see
You mean the world to me,
I'm praying for you.
Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through,
Love is for giving
I know i'm just livin' for you.
Love is for giving
I know i'm just livin' for you

9. _ Higher Power
Let me love you
Take me home to your religion for the night
Let me touch you
Teach me how to see your vision through my eyes
Turn the pages
Tell my story, let me face another day
Safe embraces, I feel it comin' now
My captain's on his way.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Yeah
Let me hold you
Take me back into the secrets of my mind
Let me know you
Come and save me Lord
Don't let me cross the line
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Ooh, let me love you
Ooh, let me love you
Hey, my Higher Power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yea, my Higher Power
It's the beginning of another day.
Hey, my Higher Power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, my Higher Power
It's the beginnin' of another day.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Yea, yea, yea.

10. _ Peace Of Mind
Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been payin',
Future's coming much too slow,
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I understand about indecision
But i don't care if i get behind,
People livin' in competition
All i want is to have my peace of mind...
Yeah! Oooh!
Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder,
Hope it doesn't take too long...
Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter,
Come a day when you'll be gone...
I understand about indecision
But i don't care if i get behind,
People livin' in competition
All i want is to have my peace of mind...
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Whew!
Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin',
Doesn't mean too much to me...
Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be...
I understand about indecision
But i don't care if i get behind,
People livin' in competition
All i want is to have my peace of mind...
Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Look ahead...

11. _ Cool The Engines
Now i like takin' off
Don't like burnin' out
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout
We keep getting hotter
Movin' way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not gonna last
Cool the engines
Red line's gettin' near
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear
I'm no fool
I'm gonna keep it cool
And take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'till we take it all the way
Take me for a ride
Take me all the way
Take me where i've never been
Someplace i can stay
Don't get yourself too hot
Don't get yourself too high
If we don't take it easy now
We can kiss it all goodbye
Cool the engines
Slow this rocket down
Cool the engines
Why don't ya take a look around
I'm no fool, gonna keep it cool
Take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
'till we take it all the way
Cool the engines
Cool the engines
Goin' over the line
Goin' off the dial
Runnin' out of time
And it's gettin' wild
Got flashin' lights
Goin' 'round and 'round
Until we get it right
Better cool it down
Better cool it down.
Cool the engines.
And now we're on our way
No need to hurry just to get from day to day
And i, oooh, i know
We don't have to run that hard to get where we can go.
Cool the engines.
Cool the engines down.
Cool the engines.
Cool the engines down.

12. _ Long Time
It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin', yeah
And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I'v e been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of y our front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Yeah. It's been such a long time, I think I should be goin', yeah
And time dosnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
There's a long road, I've gotta stay in time with
I've got to keep on chasin' that dream, though I may never find it
I'm always just behind it.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' along
Takin' my time, just movin' along
Takin' my time, takin' my time...
