Yesterday Today Tomorrow Great

Amanda, i know what you're thinking,
You and i have much to say,
And you've been making me crazy,
Trying to understand
But it's impossible at your age.

I know i said i'll always try,
But you're going to bed alone again tonight,
And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
You can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

You're so afraid your life is over,
And nothing i can say can change your mind.
How can anybody be so selfish,
And treat you all so cruel,
The woman screamed at me and cried.
I'll always hold you in my soul,
And i'm never going to leave you all alone
But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,
Not everybody's sailing out to sea,
And is there someone there for me?
I'm ready to believe.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

Walkin' on my own,
Absolutely free,
Solitary life,
The only life for me,
Midnight caf‚,
Dinner alone,
Independent heart,
Is all i've ever known,

Oh i believe,
I had no one to lose,
And nobody fooled but me

Fire in the storm,
Rainbow in the night,
Lightning on the sea,
Heaven in your eyes,
Never before,
The magic of night,
It happened in my arms,
Right before my eyes

Oh, now i believe,
There's a god watching over me,
From up here, i can see the rest of my life,
It's got directions starting over,
So hold me, it's destiny,
Cause from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can i be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.

Self-assured before,
Had it figured out,
All i didn't know,
Is what it's all about,
You walked into my world,
Then it came alive
I never knew before,
Why i survived.

Oh, now i believe,
There's a god watching over me,
From up here, i can see the rest of my life,
You're giving me directions starting over,
So hold me, it's destiny,
Cause from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,

Whoa, oh whoa,
Whoa, i know it's over,
The past is over, ooh yeah
You can't go back to sleep,
Once you've seen what you have seen
And know what you know about love.

Over
Hold me, it's destiny,
And from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can i be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.

(improv repeats to fade)

I been working so hard
Keep punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what i got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else i'll tear up this town
Tonight i gotta cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Please, louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're yearning, burning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Oowhee, marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, milo
C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
First - we got to turn you around
Second - you put your feet on the ground
Third - now take a hold of your soul
Four - whooooooooa, i'm turning it
Loose, footloose
(chorus)

Live long enough you're bound to find
Moonshine'll make a man go blind
Never can tell what the brew will do
But there's times you'll wind up feelin so fine

Some women seem to have a knack
They'll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell who's playin for keeps
So tell me now what's holding you back
I know your heart can take it

Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
It'll only do you good

Don't fight it'll do your heart so good
Do what mama do
Do what daddy do
When you gonna make up your mind
You can run but love will find you
Ready or not here it comes

Some people when they hear a groove
Shake their heads cause they just can't approve
Well i turn up the music till it's shakin the sky
Is everybody ready to move

There's times you wanna shake yourself
There's nights you wanna yell for help
You can fly when you're standing still
N there's nothing wrong with raising some hell
Tonight we're gonna raise it

Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it

Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Don't fight it

In a lifetime
Made of memories
I believe
In destiny

Every moment returns again in time
When i've got the future on my mind
Know that you'll be the only one

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

In a lifetime
There is only love
Reaching for the lonely one

We are stronger when we are given love
When we put emotions on the line
Know that we are the timeless ones

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

<instrumental interlude>

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

You ain't crazy
I ain't gonna lie anymore
What you're feelin'
There's a reason for
I wanna do right
Oh, i gotta do right
Do i love you?
Oh, you know i've tried
But what you're after
You can't find in my eyes
I wanna do right
Darlin'
Tell the truth
Don't turn away
This is our last chance
To touch each others hearts
Does anything last forever?
I don't know
Maybe we're near the end
Darlin' oh how can we go on together
Now that we've grown apart
Well the only way to start
Is heart to heart
One by one
We're collecting lies
When you can't give love
You give alibis
Now i'm gonna do right
This time i gotta do right
I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna say good-bye
But sooner or latter
There comes a time
When you gotta do right
Darlin'
Tell the truth
Don't turn away
This is our last chance
To touch each others hearts
Does anything last forever?
I don't know
Maybe we're near the end
Darlin' how can we go on together
Now that we've grown apart
Well the only way to start
Is heart to heart
Why are you so torn apart?
I need a little more lovin' in my heart
People say that love will grow
So how was i to know
Love that's come through years and years
Can't find a way back home anymore
(solo)
Darlin'
Tell the truth
Don't turn away
This is our last chance
To touch each others hearts
Does anything last forever?
I don't know
But maybe we're near the end
So darlin' oh how can we go on together
Now that we've grown apart
Well the only way to start
Is heart to heart
Does anything last forever?
I don't know
But maybe we're near the end
So darlin' oh how can we go on together
Now that we've grown apart
Well the only way to start
Is heart to heart

Whenever i call you "friend", i begin to think i understand
Anywhere we are, you and i have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all i need to show me why
Everything i do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'n now i know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus:
Sweet love's showin' us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight
See love glowin' on us every night, i know forever we'll be doin' it
Chorus... right
Whenever i call you "friend", i believe i've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and i were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowin' i will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, i always want to call you "friend"
Chorus
(instrumental break)
An' now i know my life has given me more than memories, day by day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on
Chorus repeats 2x - doin' it, doin' it
Sweet love (repeats out)...
(you're the glowin' light in my life, source of pride in my life)
(everything i do takes me back to you, whenever i call you friend...

Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring the back.
What were the promises caught on the tips of our tongues?
Do we forget or forgive?
There's a whole other life waiting to be lived when...
One day we're brave enough
To talk with conviction of the heart.
And down your streets i've walked alone,
As if my feet were not my own
Such is the path i chose, doors i have opened and closed
I'm tired of living this life,
Fooling myself, believing we're right, when...
I've never given love
With any conviction of the heart
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe we'll survive
If we only try...
How long must we wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And be forgiven?
It's been too many years of taking now.
Isn't it time to stop somehow?
Air that's too angry to breathe, water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
You say your aware, believe, and you care, but...
Do you care enough
To talk with conviction of the heart?
