In Too Deep


(Rick Nowels)

I was high and dry
Don't ask me why
We took the wrong turn that day
Out on that long lonely highway.
The river was pounding below
And how we crashed, I'll never know
But suddenly I can't swim
So this is drowning...

Suddenly I'm in too deep 
to ever get out 
I gave you my heart and my soul to keep 
Don't give me your doubts 
I'm over my head 
and it's scaring me so...

I'm in too deep
I'm in too deep

Thanks for the crash course 
That ride upon your noble horse 
Well we jumped the fence that day 
and rode so far away... 
Will I forever roam? 
I only want to come home 
So won't you throw me a line? 
I think it's really time...

Suddenly I'm in too deep 
to ever get out 
I gave you my heart and soul to keep 
Don't give me your doubts 
I'm over my head 
and it's scaring me so...

So have a little faith baby in where we're going to 
Don't ask me where 
You know I just can't tell you 
All I know is I'm swept away 
taken by this undertow 
Ooh, waves are crashing in
Baby, baby don't let me go, 'cos...

I'm in too deep 
I'm in too deep 
I'm in too deep 
I'm in too deep
 
California


(Billy Steinberg/Rick Nowels/Maria Vidal)

I remember I was In the tanning salon
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone
They say that only the good die young
But that ain't true where I come from
California...California

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away, LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California...California

4 in the morning we were in our beds 
The swaying palm trees above our heads
Woke up to a primal rumbling sound
When the Northridge quake ripped open the
ground 
California...California

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
from the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California... In California

Golden State, I'm back in the Golden State
Golden State of Mind
Golden State, I'm back In the Golden State
Golden State of Mind

It took a lot for me to say
I want to walk away LA
From the sharks and the Chardonnay
In California... In California
Walk, walk away

I remember I was in the tanning salon 
When I heard that River Phoenix was gone...


A Woman And A Man


(Robbie Seidman/Maria Vidal)

I took a walk today 
to where the ocean meets the sky 
I thought about the way 
They always say love never dies

And as the sun went down 
I saw a lovers silhouette 
A woman and a man 
in a dance I envied them

I thought of you
I loved you so
I don't know why
I let you go

A woman and a man
a love so close
Walk hand In hand
While I'm alone
A woman and a man
a love embrace
he turned his head
I saw his face

Could it be you
Yes, it was you
A woman and a man

I had to turn away
I hoped you wouldn't see me there
I thought about the way
You used to say I didn't care

And as you walked on by
I pulled my scarf across my face
and I began to cry
For all the love I'd thrown away

But there you were
like In a dream
You were with her
and not with me
A woman and a man
a love so close
Walk hand In hand
While I'm alone
A woman and a man
a love embrace
he turned his head
I saw his face

Could it be you
Yes, it was you
A woman and a man
A woman and a man
A woman and a man
A woman and a man

We were so close. baby
Guess you never know
Just how precious love is
'Til you've had it and held it
and let It go

A woman and a man
a love so close
Walk hand in hand
While I'm alone
A woman and a man
a love embrace
he turned his head
I saw his face

Could it be you
Yes, it was you
A woman and a man
A woman and a man
A woman and a man
A woman and a man


Remember September


(Rick Nowels/Ellen Shipley)

I can see you when the rains come
In a flood of memory
And I go back
To that place where love was new
To those days of me and you
We thought would never end...
Remember September
And the promise of love we made
Believing forever
Nothing in this world would ever change
Everything we felt would stay the same...

Can you see me like you once did
Can I touch you like before
'Cos I need you
Even more than I did then
Put your kisses on my skin
Forever in my soul...

Remember September
And the promise of love we made
Believing forever
Nothing in this world would ever change
Everything we felt would stay the same

Ooh my love...
I still want you...
Ooh my love...

Remember September
And the promise of love we made
Believing forever
Nothing in this world would ever change
Everything we felt would stay the same...


Listen To Love


(Christopher Garcia/John Inglesby/Ralph McCarthy)

Baby close your eyes, listen to love
See what dreams are made of 
Oh, and if one kiss 
Speaks to us like this
Why resist it, baby, listen to love

The voices of reason
Say not to leap in
They tell me 'Be careful, friend
Don't get burned again'

But when I feel your heartbeat
I know something beautiful is starting
We need to believe in

Baby close your eyes, listen to love
See what dreams are made of 
Oh, and if one kiss 
Speaks to us like this
Why resist it, baby, listen to love

Venus rose out of the sea
Looking for you and me
She showed us the stars above
Said all we need is love

It's no time to be modest
Give it up, surrender to the goddess
You know in your heart it's true
Baby, she's calling you

Come on now, come on now, come on now
Tell me you can hear it
Come on now, come on now

Open up your heart, listen to love
The stuff that dreams are made of 
Oh and if one touch
Can reveal so much
Don't you know we've got to listen to love

Baby close your eyes, listen to love
See what dreams are made of 
Oh, and if one kiss 
Speaks to us like this
Why resist it, baby, listen to love

Why resist it, baby, listen
Listen to love

Come on now, come on now, come on now
Tell me you can hear it
Come on now, come on now

Open up your heart, listen to love
The stuff that dreams are made of 
Oh and if one touch
Can reveal so much
Don't you know we've got to listen to love

Baby close your eyes, listen to love
See what dreams are made of 
Oh, and if one kiss 
Speaks to us like this
Why resist it, baby, listen to love

Open up your heart, listen to love
The stuff that dreams are made of 
Oh and if one touch
Can reveal so much
Don't you know we've got to listen to love

Lie down and listen
Listen to love


Always Breaking My Heart


(Per Gessle)

Is this what you want
Every finger points at me
This might be funny
If it wasn't such a tragedy
After a while
It gets harder to smile
And pretend that things are OK

So when you need the in the middle of the night
I won't be there cos you're always breaking my heart
You're always breaking my heart
You always tear it apart
Yeah oh yeah

So cross yourself now
Get down on your knees and pray
But no powers from heaven
Could ever take the darkness away
I've tried climbing the walls
But you've built them too tall
So it's time I walk away now (walk away now)

And when you call me in the middle of the night
(of the night)
There's no one there cos you're always breaking my heart
You're always breaking my heart
You always tear it apart
Yeah yeah yeah

Reach out a hand to hold
Ain't it sad when the distance grows
two hearts cling to their fates
Remember that first embrace
But I can't worry anymore


Love Doesn't Live Here


(Per Gessle)

I wake up each day
Want to sleep that day away
I catch a train
In the rush hour rain
Some people are talkin' to me
I don't care what they say
'Cos I know
Love doesn't live here now you've gone away
Love doesn't live here but I'm left to stay
And I thought it was me and you who gave it all
Yes I thought it was me and you who couldn't fall
But It's all over now
Over now

friends on the phone
life is good. life goes on
But I spend my days
In a heart broken haze
Of movies and lonely tunes
Every song seems to be about you

Oh oh
Love doesn't live here since you went away
Love doesn't live here but I m left to stay
And I thought you and me we were the chosen ones
Yes I thought you and me we sailed into the sun
But it's gone. It's over now

Do you ever think about it?
Do you want to talk about it with me?

Love doesn't live here since you went away
Love doesn't live here but I m left to stay
And I thought it was me and you who had it all
Yes I thought it was me and you who stood so tall
But it's all over now
Yes it's all over now
Over now

It's all over now
Love doesn't live here


He Goes On


(Neil Finn)

Pretty soon you'll be able to remember him
Lying In the garden singing
Right where he'll always be
The door is always open

This is the place that I loved him
And these are the friends that he had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sounds of his laughter
And he goes on and on

In his soft wind I will whisper
In his warm sun I will glisten
will we see him once again
in a world without end

We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing as he walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together

Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
The colouring in the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And he goes on and on

In his soft wind I will whisper
In his warm sun I will glisten
Till we see him once again
In a world without end

In his soft wind I will whisper
In his warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end

He goes on
He goes on


Kneel At Your Feet


(Charlotte Cafffey/Tom Caffey/Belinda Carlisle)

Put my trust in you when trusting's hard
Wish that I could just let down my guard
Want to feel closer than I feel
I stop myself before it gets too real

Love can hurt so much it stings
Wish that I could just forget everything
Just as I start to fall apart
You pull me back into your arms

I start to breathe
As I kneel at your feet ( all I want to do)
I start to breathe
As I kneel at your feet
You can't see the other side of me

I keep it locked up safe, hide
There's so much deep inside
Like a wild wind screaming through the trees

I start to breathe
As I kneel at your feet ( all I want to do)
I feel complete
As I kneel at your feet

Sometimes I'm mesmerised
By thoughts of love flowing on and on
Don't wait don't hesitate
To spend my life with you
(But this can't be true)

All I want to do
I start to breathe
As I kneel at your feet ( all I want to do)
I feel complete
As I kneel at your feet ( all I want to do)
I start to breathe
As I kneel at your feet


Love In The Key Of C


(Rick Nowels)

I've been through some hard love
Sweet love
Impossible love
Deep love

But there was always a hitch
Something couldn't be fixed
A bit out of tune
With ending it soon

And just when I felt I had enough
And I thought my life just wasn't living it up
You came to me so magically
Giving me
Love in the key of C
I've been impressed
Depressed
Satisfied
Completely denied

But with you it just feels so right to me
We both came together so easily
And I can't believe that I love you (and)
You love me
Love in the key of C

Love in the key of C
You're my life's sweet harmony
It's the key of Amazing Grace
'Cuz you save my life
When it was all the way down
Your gentle love turned my life around

'Cuz with you it just feels so right to me
We both came together so incredibly
And I can't believe that I love you (and)
You love me (thank you God)

Love in the key of C
Love in the key of C


My Heart Goes Out To You


(Rick Nowels/Allen Rich/Anders Baggee)

I see the tears you cry
They're tears I cannot dry
Know what you're going through
My heart goes out to you

There's nothing I can say
To take your pain away
I'm not sure what to do
My heart goes out to you

You know I feel so bad
To see you hurt so bad
But angels spread their wings
over everything

There's one thing no one knows
Why things go the way they go
We'll never have a clue
My heart goes out to you

When you're overcome
When you need someone
I'll be the friend you need
Like you have been to me

I see the tears you cry
One day they'll all be dry
But until they do

My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you
