Now the night has gone
Now the night has gone away...
Doesn't seem that long
We hardly had two words to say...
Hold me in your arms
For just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh...
We have the right to know
We have the right to know

Don't say the mornings come
Don't say the mornings come so soon...
Must we end this way
When so much here is hard to lose...
Love is everywhere
I know it is
Such moments as this
Are too few
Oh...
It's all up to you
It's all up to you...
Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways


Ah...
Tell me we can stay
Tell me we can stay oh please...
They are the words to say
The only words i can believe...
Hold me in your arms
For just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh...
We have the right you know
We have the right you know


Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
The night has gone
A part of yesterday


I don't know what to say...
I don't know what to say...
Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand
The one that you love
Loves you in so many ways...
Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Here i am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways.........

(graham russell, clive davis)

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart

I wish i could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know


(chorus)
I'm all out of love, i'm so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am i without you
I can't be too late to say i was so wrong


I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?


And what would you say if i called on you now
And said that i can't hold on?
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or i'll be gone, i'll be gone


(chorus)
Ooh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
(repeat chorus)

(cynthia weil, tom snow)

When she looks at me
I know the girl sees things
Nobody else can see

All of the secret fears inside
And all the craziness i hide
She looks into my soul
And reads me like nobody can


And she doesn't judge the man
She just takes me as i am


(chorus)
Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something
I've never known before
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more


When i turn away
She knows those are the times
There's nothing she can say


Nothing that anyone can do
And so she lets me live it through
And when i'm in my darkest hour of uncertainty
She just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me


(chorus)
And when it seems my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just can't be found
I turn around and there they are
Shining in her eyes
(repeat chorus)

(norman sallitt)

Here i am playing with those memories again
And just when i thought time had set me free
Those thoughts of you keep taunting me

Holding you, a feeling i never outgrew
Though each and every part of me has tried
Only you can fill that space inside


So there's no sense pretending
My heart it's not mending


(chorus)
Just when i thought i was over you
And just when i thought i could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And i just can't go on without


On my own i've tried to make the best of it alone
I've done everything i can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain


I just can't live without you
I miss everything about you


(chorus)
Just when i thought i was over you
And just when i thought i could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And i just can't go on without
Go on without
It's just no good without you

(graham russell)

I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But i'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and i'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What i needed was someone to show me


You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on


(chorus)
Lost in love and i don't know much
Was i thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But i'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted


So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and i'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What i needed was someone to show me


You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on


(chorus)
You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on


(chorus)
Now i'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Now i'm lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love

(jim steinman)

I know just how to whisper,
And i know just how to cry;
I know just where to find the answers;
And i know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it,
And i know just how to scheme;
I know just when to face the truth,
And then i know just when to dream.
And i know just where to touch you,
And i know just what to prove;
I know when to pull you closer,
And i know when to let you loose.
And i know the night is fading,
And i know that time's gonna fly;
And i'm never gonna tell you everything
I've got to tell you,
But i know i've got to give it a try.
And i know the roads to riches,
And i know the ways to fame;
I know all the rules
And then i know how to break 'em
And i always know the name of the game.

But i don't know how to leave you,
And i'll never let you fall;
And i don't know how you do it,
Making love out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all,
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all.


Every time i see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair;
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I've got to follow it, 'cause everything i know, well it's nothing till i give it to you.


I can make the run or stumble,
I can make the final block;
And i can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever,
Or i can make it disappear by the dawn;
And i can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And i can make all your demons be gone.


But i'm never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And i'm never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all.


(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)
Out of nothing at all
(making love)

(graham russell)

This is the time when you need a friend
You just need someone near
I'm not looking forward to the night i will spend
Thinking of you when you're not here
How many times will i think about the things
I'd like to do
Always denied the right to live my life the way i want
I want to share it with you

(chorus)
Close your eyes i want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes i want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams


I'll think of your kiss as the days roll by
And i'll write the words you love
And what i can't say in a letter
Will just have to wait till i get home


Ooh there's not much time to tell you half the things i should
Only that i'm so glad i fell in love with you
And i'd do it again if i could


(chorus)
Close your eyes i want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes i want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams
(repeat chorus)


Sleep like a child resting deep
You don't know what you give me i keep
For these moments alone


(chorus)
Close your eyes i want to ride the skies
In my sweet dreams
Close your eyes i want to see you tonight
In my sweet dreams

(graham russell)

When love is new
And the world is out reaching for you
We try hard to hold it all
In our hands
But it slips through
Like soft drifting sands
But drying the tears
Can build it all like new

(chorus)
Now and forever
Remember the words
From my heart will always be true
Now and forever
Together and all that i feel
Here's my love for you


Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things i knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all i want to do


(chorus)
Hold me as close
As love will allow
Until all your fears are gone
What has all passed
Is over now
I'm here with you
I'm here with you
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Is my love for you
(repeat chorus)

(j.l. wallace, kenneth bell, terry skinner)

I, i was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely

I, i was so confused
Feeling like i'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me


I use to think i was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that i've found you


(chorus)
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since i found you
Even the days are brighter
When someone you loves beside you
Even the nights are better
Since i found you


You, you knew just what to do
Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain


And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
Cause now you've made a fire start
And i, i can see that you feel
The same way


I used to think i was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that i've found you
(repeat chorus)
