Now And Forever

(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)

(graham russell/guy allison)

When you first found love,
Was it all that you had wanted
For a thousand lonely years
Was the memory so sweet
Now your scented touch brings me
Back to the enchanted
All shadows fade away,
The gypsy is complete

(chorus)
Someone is walking beside me
Someone is waiting till i say yes i do
Someone is living inside me
Giving me all that i need and i need you
Someone to cry on my shoulder
I just want to stay here forever


From the secret pool,
Did i stare at your reflection
Let the water wash away all the battle
From my soul
For the bride of spring,
Do i swear to your protection
Today will be the day that never shall
Grow old


(chorus)
Silence broken and the blackbird is free
Only your voice can i hear, speak to me
(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

(david foster, linda thompson)

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And i know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and i sympathize
And i'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

(chorus)
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure i'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me


(chorus) you would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye

(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

(graham russell/guy allison)

Sometimes when i just can't sleep
And you're on my mind and i'm hurting deep
At night, when the sun goes down
And the lights turn on and you're not around

I've been this way before
But it wasn't real
This time i'm sure
It's the way i feel


I dream when i call your name
And i'm in a place that i can't explain
And everything you see i can't conceal
It's the way that it is
It's the way that i feel


I've been this way before
But it wasn't real
This time i'm sure
It's the way i feel
This time i'm sure
It's the way i feel


It's the way i feel
It's the way i feel
It's the way i feel

(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

(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)
