Back With A Heart

(john farrar)

I know that in time i can handle this a little better
But what can i do if your heart won't let her go
There are times i mean everything to you
Life can be so sweet when i do
You know...

You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

I beg you for the truth but i don't wanna hear it
You pour it all out and i won't go near it
Oh no, oh no, but i believe you're gonna love me again
So i'll try to make it easier till then
You know...

You gotta know
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

Are you gonna break away, set yourself free
Let me see the kinder man that i used to see
Make yourself open up, let it all go
If you're really mine again, let this crazy fool know

There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

I wanna be closer
I wanna go back where we used to be
Oh baby, please get close to me
Get a little bit closer
I wanna be closer
I wanna be closer
I gotta be closer

Every night when you're as mean
As a ladder with a broken wrung
When i know you're sorry won't make it
From your heart to your tongue
There are nights when you keep pushing me
And i won't go on
'cause when i get mad enough darlin'
I will be standing my ground

But on a night like this i know i can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

There are nights when every kiss
Is an order than i can obey
And i can taste the life comin'
From a mile away
There are nights when you keep holdin' me
But your arms are too tight
And i don't need what i want
'cause what i want just don't feel right

But on a night like this i know i can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, oh, under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

Everywhere that i go i hear your name
Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame
In shame

But on a night like this i know i can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin, yeah, under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
Under my skin, ooh under my skin
Come and slide your whisper (under my skin)

Just one innocent smile that i could have missed
That's all it took to start all this
One word so softly spoken when i needed it most
Why you, why right now, who knows?

And i don't know why this is happenin'
Why it feels so right
But i do know i don't wanna say goodnight

Last kiss until tomorrow out on the front porch swing
Till then nothin' means anything

And i don't know why this is happenin'
Why it feels so right
But i do know i don't wanna say goodnight

I can't let go when i'm holdin' you tight
All i dream of is that day when we don't have to say goodnight

And i don't know why this is happenin'
Why it feels so right
But i do know i don't wanna say goodnight
And i don't know why this is happenin'
Why it feels so right
But i do know i don't wanna say goodnight

Just one innocent smile that i could have missed
That's all it took to start all this
Oh no, i don't wanna say goodnight
Oh no, i don't wanna say goodnight
Oh, i don't wanna say goodnight
Oh no, just wanna hold you tight

Here in my heart, there's the truth
But no one could love me like you
But lately you seem so far away
Pretending that you hear what i say
It's all i can do to get some attention from you

Sometimes you look so unsure
Has time left you longing for more?
Wishing you would let me back in
I just wanna be home again
It's all i can do to get some attention from you

You mean too much to me to give up without a fight
Lord knows we can't survive one more silent night

I'd like to think there's a chance
Some way to save our romance
But if i have to do it alone
I'd be better off on my own
It's all i can do to get some attention from you
Oh,what can i do to get some attention from you

(peter allen/jeff barry)

Maybe i hang around here
A little more than i should
We both know i got somewhere else to go
But i got something to tell you
That i never thought i would
But i believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here i am with mine
So i guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you

(olivia newton-john /annie roboff)

In this world where life keeps changin'
Nothin' ever seems to be enough
I kept on, my soul was searchin'
Lookin' for something that would fill me up
I have always felt a yearnin'
Somethin' inside me was unsatisfied

Precious love you woke my heart up
It's been sleepin' for such a long time
This crazy feelin' i can believe in
Your love has found it's way into my life

Take our time, slow and easy
I'm so comfortable when i'm with you
Catch my breath when you come near me
Can't control this if i wanted to
Thought i'd never trust another
But here, in your arms, i feel safe again

Precious love you woke my heart up
It's been sleepin' for such a long time
This crazy feelin' i must be dreamin'
Your love has found it's way into my life

You touched a part of me
And set my spirit free
Precious love

This crazy feelin' i must be dreamin'
Your love has found it's way into my life
You know your precious love has changed my life
