Ballerina
04:14
|

Met a girl from far away
On a slow boat to no where
Caught in a life she made her daddy proud
She didn't have a care
We sat and we talked for for hours
She was pretty good company
But in those eyes I saw an island
Lost somewhere at sea
And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted was
To be on a magazine
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
And life ain't nothing but a dream
I wish I was an actor
A hero of the silver screen
Could've been anything I wanted
When I get tired I just change the scene
And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted
Was to be on a magazine
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
Life ain't nothing but a dream
When I got home to my wife and daughters
And everything that was really me
Well I left that boat in the water
Now it's lost somewhere at sea
And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted
Was to be up on MTV
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
And life ain't nothing but a dream

Our Dance
04:04
|
|||
On the roof we danced one night
The world was ours and all was right
Upon a star a wish we cast
To leave the sadness in the past
And hope to find a love to last
The faith in your eyes captured me
We shared our dreams of what could be
Unlocked our hearts was so brand new
I held you tight beneath the moon
Knowing you’d leave me soon
But we'll always have our moment in time
When I was yours and you were mine
A moonlit dance a stolen kiss
The love we found and now we miss
Shouldn't there be more than this?
Now I'm standing all alone back on that roof
I look out on that star and I see you
I hope the Dreamweaver will hear my plea
To send you a dream so you can see
The love you need is here with me
But we'll always have our moment in time
When I was yours and you were mine
A moonlit dance a stolen kiss
The love we found and now we miss

She said
Daddy I'm leaving
I must be moving on I've gotta go
There's so much that I believe in
I need to spread my wings and grow
And though my work wasn't over
I knew it was time
So I looked at her proudly and I smiled
And I said
The road is where you'll find out all the answers
To every dream you'll ever dream
In your whole life
But when you're far away
Know I'll always love you
And when the road leads you back to me
Please know
I'll be there when you get there
You know life goes by so quickly
Five years turns to 20 over night
And though I'm feeling so much older
I know that my baby is all right
Now she's raising her own family
She's happy with her life
And I look at her proudly and I smile
And she says
The road is where l found out all the answers
To all those dreams you helped me dream
In my whole life
So when you're far away
Know I'll always love you
And when the road leads you back to me
Dad know
I'll be there when you get there
Another 20 years older
And I'll be running out of time
But I know I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to die
Cause the final road is
Where I'll find out all the answers
To all the dreams I've never dreamed
In my whole life
So when I reach the other side
I don't want you to cry
Because I'll be there when you get there

How Do I Thank You
03:36
|
|||
There were times we didn’t agree
I felt you never understood
But now I'm older and I can see
You did the best that you could
How do I thank you for all that you’ve done
In my life, in my life
All that I can give you
Is love that you showed
All my life, All my life
I tried to make it all by myself
Lord knows how hard I tried
But I was never by myself
You never left, you never left my side
How do I thank you for all that you’ve done
In my life, in my life
All that I can give you
Is love that you showed
All my life, All my life
Now I’m older and I can see

No Winning Losing You
04:01
|
|||
Loving you is such a heartache
Sometimes it's hard for me to take
When i'm holding you it feels so right
But then you slam the door and you stay out all night
Here comes the rain and it looks like the end
I should be glad but I can't pretend
Even when you're wrong I feel so blue
But there ain't no winning losing you
And there ain't no comfort in being right
When I'm alone another night
My head says leave but my heart says stay
That's what you do when love gets in the way
Here comes the rain and it looks like the end
I should be glad but I can't pretend
Even when you're wrong I feel so blue
But there ain't no winning losing you

Nicole's Moon
03:31
|
|||
Me and my girls sit on the porch at night
We look for Venus and for Mars
Nicole loves the moon and Adrianna loves the stars
When I hold them close and I see them smile
I thank God that I'm alive
I wish I never had to leave them
But a music man must drive
And being on the road is so damn lonely
And the phone is not enough
I close my eyes to take me home there
Because it's them I'm dreaming of
When I'm all alone in the darkness
And there is sadness in my heart
I look for Nicole's moon and Adrianna's stars
Now I'm not complaining singing for you
It's what I do the best
But when I'm home with my children
I know that I've been blessed
Yeah God smiled down on me I know
When he gave me these two girls
I wish I never had to leave them
When I'm traveling around the world
But being on the road is so damn lonely
And the phone is not enough
I close my eyes to take me home there
Because it's them I'm dreaming of
And when I'm all alone in the darkness
And there is sadness in my heart
I look for Nicole's moon and Adrianna's stars

Smiling Again
03:11
|
|||
There's something inside me I can't explain
But suddenly I'm smiling again
It gets all around me and fills my head
That something inside me has me
Smiling again
Well long ago I knew you would always love me
But you had to find out on your own
Now I'm lost in your love
And I can't pretend
Cause I know its your love
It's your love
That's got me smiling again
There's something inside me I don't know why
But when you're beside me I get so high
It gets all around me and fills my head
That something inside me has me
Smiling again
Well long ago I knew you would always love me
But you had to find out on your own
Now I'm lost in your love
And I can't pretend
Cause I know its your love
It's your love
That's got me smiling again

Sun lights up the sky
Moon waves goodbye
And birds fly and fly and fly
Say good morning to the rest of your life
Say goodbye to another lonely night
Of wondering how you'll ever get by
Don't cry, don't cry
Because I know it's hard
When you're hurting like this
Whenever you turn around
You always seem to miss
Look all around you and everything goes wrong
And it won't be long, it won't be long
Until the sun lights up the sky
And your tears will dry
And birds will fly and fly
Say hello to the rest of your life
Look those troubles right in the eye
Turn around and wave them goodbye
Goodbye, just say goodbye
You know it gets
So much better than this
There really is a place called happiness
Come on let me hear your heart's song
And it won't be long
It won't be long
Until the sun lights up the sky
And you and I will fly and fly
Oh how we will fly
You and I we'll fly

It was a bittersweet moment
When you walked into my life
I wasn't looking when you found me
Suddenly it seemed so right
There you were so complicated
A little mystery in your eyes
You let me in past your defenses
You touched my soul with your smile
Now I can't get you off my mind
I can hold you when I'm dreaming
Different places different times
You're with me all the while
I can't get you off my mind
I keep replaying every moment
Every movement, every smile
I hear you singing to the music
How we could never say goodbye
There'll come a day when we're together
Another place another time
Until that day I'll just keep dreaming
Of the girl I left behind
Now I can't get you off my mind
I can hold you when I'm dreaming
Different places, different times
You're with me all the while
I can't get you off my mind
And I would walk 1000 miles just to see you smile
Can't get you off my mind

Love's the Way
06:28
|

Happiness begins with you
You make the choice, you make it true
Right here, Right now
And I’ve learned the love you take
Is equal the love you make
You better learn to love
And wake up in a happy place
Make up with the human race
Love starts with you
Stop blaming everybody else
You can change the world yourself
With love it’s the only way to a brighter day
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
Ships are safe inside a port
But that’s not what ships are for
You gotta learn to sail away
And stop living in the past they’ve made
Make yourself a brand new day
And get far, get far away
And wake up in a happy place
Make up with the human race
It’s really up to you
Stop blaming everybody else
Change the world when you change yourself
With love, it’s the only way
Listen when I say
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
Yes it is!
So wake up in a happy place
Make up with the human race
It’s love, and it’s the only way to a brighter day
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
Love Love Love, Love’s the way
You gotta learn to love, you gotta learn to give
You gotta be someone, you gotta learn to live
You gotta take somebody by the hand
Show them the way, make them understand
It’s a brand new day, a brand new day
Start today
It’s love and love’s the way
Love’s the way Love’s the way
Loves’ the way, the way
Yes it is!
Love’s the Way
The Way, Love’s the way
The Way, Love’s the way
The Way, The only way
The only way
Yes it is!
You gotta learn to love, You gotta learn to give
You gotta be someone, you gotta lean to live
You got the whole damn world in your hand
You gotta be someone you gotta make a plan
Communicate, levitate
But most of all don’t hesitate
Love’s the way, ‘Cos love’s the way
We’re all just people now
Love’s the Way!
Reach out and touch someone
Show them the way
Tell them that you love them NOW!
Oh it’s the way, love’s the way
The Way, Love’s the way
Love’s the way
Oh yeah, the Way
Love’s the way
