To Love Again

(mchael masser/c. b. sager)

I can't cover up my feelings
In the name of love
Or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what i'm guilty of
Go on and sentence me
I'll still be free

It's my turn
To see what i can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me

Because it's my turn
With no apologies
I've given up the truth
To those i've tried to please

But now it's my turn
If i don't have all the answers
At least i know i'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use of holding of
When nothing stays the same

So i'll let it rain
'cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And i'll let you go
'though i know it won't be easy

It's my turn
With no more room for lies
For years i'd seen my life
Through someone else's eyes

And now it's my turn
To try and find my way
And if i should get lost
At least i'll own today

It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holding of
When nothing stays the same

So i'll let it rain
'cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And i'll let you go
'though i know it won't be easy

It's my turn
To see what i can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me

Because it's my turn
To turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side

Because it's my turn
It's my turn

It's my turn
To start from number one
Trying to undo
Some damage that's been done

But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's gonna say
At least i didn't try

It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn

When you smiled as if you knew me
There was nothing else that i could do
Without a word i tried to follow you
And it was good for me to know
That i could try to love again

And the feeling running through me
I remember from another time
I could even leave this world behind
And it was good for me to know
That i could try to love again

Wouldn't it be fine just to believe
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If life were like a song
And all the magic and the peace
That lovers feel could last forever
If only this time it were real
But memory in silence only fades away

So i woke up to reality
And all the life that no one wants to see
And how could i afford the fantasy
But if was good for me to know
That i could try to love again, to love again

Wouldn't it be fine if all the magic and the peace
That lovers feel could last forever
If only this time it were real
But memory in silence only fades away
To love again

When you smiled as if you knew me
There was nothing else that i could do
Without a word i tried to follow you
And it was good for me to know
That i could try to love again

(ron miller/michael masser)

Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday

(hey!)
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live

Well, i can say goodbye in the cold morning light
But i can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If i've got to be strong
Don't you know i need to have tonight when you're gone?
'till you go i need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before

(hey!)
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us (didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, i really need you near me tonight
'cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies

If i've got to be strong
Don't you know i need to have tonight when you're gone?
'till you go i need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
(mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Then just walk away
(we walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We don't have tomorrow,
(there's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday
(but yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
Touch me in the morning...

Am i really hard to please ?
Perhaps i have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily

But today i fell in love with someone i hardly know
Did i make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
'cause the feeling was so unexpected
I could hardly keep myself collected

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All i know is now it's gotta be right

In the midst of conversation he looked into my eyes
And all through the conversation
Much to my own surprise
Half the words he said to me were missin'
'cause my mind was so intend on kissin'

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All i know is now it's gotta be right

Am i really hard to please ?
Perhaps i have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today i fell in love with someone i hardly know
Did i make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
And the feelin' was so deep inside me
I could feel it when he brushed beside me

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All i know is now it's gotta be right
