1. _ Running On Faith
(by jerry lynn williams)
Lately i've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do?
But my world will be right
When love comes over you
Lately i've been talking in my sleep
I can't imagine what i'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
Chorus
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you
When love comes over you

2. _ Bad Love
(by eric clapton and mick jones)
Oh what a feeling i get when i'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now i know that i'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong
I've had enough bad love
I need something i can be proud of
I've had enough bad love
No more bad love
And now i see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches i had till i met you
But i'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive
Chorus

3. _ Blue Eyes Blue
By diane warren
I thought that you'd be loving me.
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
But now forever's come and gone
And i'm still here alone.
'cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, i never should have trusted you.
I thought that i'd be all you need.
In your eyes i thought i saw my heaven.
And now my heaven's gone away
And i'm out in the cold.
'cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess i couldn't see it,
I guess i couldn't see it till i saw goodbye.
Chorus
'cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you.
Chorus
Oh, i never should have trusted you.
Oh, i never should have trusted you.
Oh, i never should have trusted you.

4. _ Pretending
(by jerry lynn williams)
How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled
Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night
That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when i knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange
Chorus
I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows strong love
Can't fail
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending

5. _ Layla
(by eric clapton and jim gordon)
What'll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, i'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, i fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before i finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Chorus

6. _ (i) Get Lost
By eric clapton
I'm sorry.
Why should i say i'm sorry?
If i hurt you,
You know you've hurt me too.
But you get lost inside your tears,
And there is nothing i can do,
'cause i get lost inside my fear
That i am nothing without you.
You're angry.
Why shouldn't you be angry?
With what we've been through,
Well i get angry too.
Chorus
'cause i am nothing without you.
Why should we have taken so long
To be looking inside of our mind?
Everything we tried went wrong.
Are we worried 'bout what we might find?
I'm sorry,
But can i say i'm sorry?
If i hurt you,
You know it hurts me too.
Chorus
And you get lost inside your tears,
And there is nothing we can do,
'cause i get lost inside my fear
That i am nothing without you.
'cause i am nothing without you.
And i am nothing without you.
'cause i am nothing without you.
'cause i am nothing without you.

7. _ Forever Man
(by jerry lynn williams)
How many times must i tell you babe,
How many bridges i've got to cross?
How many times must i explain myself
Before i can talk to the boss,
'fore i can talk to the boss?
How many times must i say i love you
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man,
Try to be your forever man.
Second verse
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

8. _ River Of Tears
(by eric clapton, simon clime)
It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That i saw you on today.
It's four miles to my lonely room
Where i will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That i ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have i got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All i know is, since you've been gone
I feel like i'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like i'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, i'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
I wish that i could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and i got to go,
Got to run away again.
Still i catch myself thinking,
One day i'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like i'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.

9. _ It's In The Way That You Use It
By eric clapton and peter robertson
It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.
Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.
Chorus
Chorus
First verse
I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

10. _ Change The World
By tommy sims, gordon kenney and wayne kirkpatrick
If i can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:
That this love i have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now i find
It's only in my dreams.
And i can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if i could change the world.
And if i could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then i'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...
That i can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if i could change the world.
Baby if i could change the world.
I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if i could change the world.
Baby if i could change the world.
Baby if i could change the world.

11. _ Tears In Heaven
would you know my name
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If i saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If i saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'cause i know i just can't stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door there's peace i'm sure
And i know there'll be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If i saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven...

12. _ She's Waiting
By eric clapton and peter robinson
She's waiting for another love.
She's waiting for another love.
She's been waiting for another love,
Someone that she can show into her heart.
And when she finally finds a stronger love,
Your whole world's gonna fall apart.
Chorus
You've been abusing her for far too long;
Think you're a king and she's your pawn.
Get ready now, 'cause pretty soon
She'll be gone and you'll be on your own.
Chorus
I see the hunger burning in her eye;
Any fool could see there's something wrong.
You keep pretending not to care,
But i will hear you sing a different song.
Chorus
Waiting for another lover,
Hoping for the time that she'll find another...

13. _ Before You Accuse Me
(by eugene mcdaniel)
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say i've been spending my money on other women
You've been taking money from someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said "son"
"don't call my daughter no more"
First verse
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If i don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind
First verse

14. _ My Father's Eyes
(by eric clapton)
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did i get here?
What have i done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will i know him?
When i look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When i look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And i hear those ancient lullabies.
And as i watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do i find the words to say?
How do i teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, i've realized
That's when i need them,
That's when i need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when i need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could i lose him?
What did i try?
Bit by bit, i've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
