Have A Little Faith (In Us)
R Desalvo, and A Roman

See the lovers in the faded photograph
She's making funny faces, he's trying not to laugh
Do you remember the way we used to be
When love lifted us up, made us feel so free

How we betrayed each other
Trying to rediscover
That feeling once again
This is not the end

There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come

We like the wind under our wings, you and I
We stay on the ground too long, we get that urge to fly
And it seems that the grass world be more green
In any other place, with any change of scene

Here is the love we long for, open the secret door
And it will take us in
And sweep us off our feet again

There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no destiny that we can't create
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come

And we can climb that mountain and go
Where this love has never gone before
And in our wildest heart of hearts we will know
That we have been reborn

There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no destiny that we can't create
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come

Little Piece Of My Heart
C Celli, A Levin, and J Ponti

And then time stood still
We touched, in the heart of the fire
We crossed over lines
The magic we shared in our perfect desire
Then love came undone ... in the spell ...
Of something that's broken .. we danced ...
In the night of satin and lace, we were suddenly woken

Now we've got another moment to share
And I can't believe, this has happened to me!

Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only
Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only heart

And then one became two
Look at me I'm so lost in the world
Without you by my side
Till the end of my life tell me, what can I do?

Now we have another secret to share
And I can't explain how it always feels so new

Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only
Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only heart

Take a little piece of my one and only
Take a little piece of my one and only heart

A little piece of my soul (my soul)
Take a piece of my heart (a little piece of my soul)
A little piece of my soul

Now we have another moment to share
I still can't explain how it always feel so new

Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only
Take a little piece of my soul tonight
Take a little piece of my one and only heart

A Simple Life
J Lind, and R Page

Show me the magic
I must've lost it somewhere
In my dreams, so far away
I turned around, everything's changing but me
Where is the soul in my song?

Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life

Out of the blue, temptation's all around me
The train came along and I got on board
I danced with the darkness
The skies were the limit
It's such a long way to fall

Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life

'Cause I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life

Stars keep me going
And the moon is there to light my way
I need to go where my heart is free
Looking for the way back
Hoping for the way back
Somebody show me how to
Get back to ... the simple life

'Cause I've done my time in paradise
I've tried to all maybe once or twice
Somehow the grass was always greener
On the other side

Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life

All Kinds of People
E Pressley, S Crow, and K Gilbert

There's a time for love, and a time for healing
You can't go back and undo what's been done
The word of mouth. Time is revealing
Just how far we've let this kingdom come

Hand to hand we're finding our way
And today is just tomorrow's yesterday

Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around
Tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world

The kiss of life. The hand of fate
The boy grows up into his father's son
And he learns to love, been taught to hate
To carry on the way it has been done

All our lives it's debts to repay
Maybe someday we can put the past away

Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around
Find a better way
There's all kinds of people in this world

Then in a moment things can change
One look behind and it's never the same

Some will die for you - some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around.
Tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world

Romeo's Heart
J Kimball, and R Vanwarner

There's no hero in this story
And the ending is so sad
In the ruins of my dreams we lie
I would kill to win you back

I should send you fields of roses
Say I'll always wish you well
But I had cast you as my Juliet
And you have cast me into hell

For those who have been wounded
Where love has missed it's mark
Bow your head and say a prayer
Tonight for Romeo's Heart

In this wine I taste your kisses
With this bread I break my word
I will not die upon this cross for you
All I feel for you is hurt

I know the moon will rise again
But there will be no starlight in my eyes

For those who have been wounded
Where love has missed it's mark
Bow your head and say a prayer
Tonight for Romeo's Heart

Don't Let It End
A Hendra

Today such a lonely day
I try to find my way
But you only you occupy my mind

And I try to understand the reason why
You're pushing me away
And I try to understand the reason why

Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend
To stop loving you

Today I heard you calling me
But it's just the storm outside
And today I want you next to me
Your heart playing with my mind

And I try to understand the reason why
You're pushing me away
And I try to understand the reason why

Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend

I know it's holding on too hard
Even if dreams have passed me by

Don't let it end, 'cause I can't pretend
I'm not gonna cry if you do
Don't let me go darlin' you know
My heart is breaking in two
Don't let it end why can't we mend
These wounds left open so long
Don't let it end 'cause I can't pretend
To stop loving you

Heart's On Fire
T Kimmel, and S Lynch

Last rites first blood
Maybe a dream but then it's clear enough
Can't hide can't sleep
Is it the vision or the body heat?

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

One step too deep
I made a promise now it's hard to keep
One word one kiss
Come any closer and you burn like this

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

You're talking trouble when you move this fast
You're never certain that the light will last
You've got to wonder when the place will blow
Leaving nothing but a bed of coals

I made a promise not to fall this time
And not to watch another love go blind
Not to let another flame burn low
Now I'm praying that you won't let go

Well all right it's hot stuff
It's hard to focus but it's clear enough
The weak run, the lost hide
The strong forever hold the flame inside

True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire

Hard Promises To Keep
K Rhodes

I'm tryin' to believe in forever
And I'm tryin' to believe in
The little jewel box life we lead
Babe I get so close sometimes
All I really know is I believe
That we've been makin' hard promises to keep

You want me to believe in forever
Do you know how tight I'm holding
Just to keep my grip on yesterday
But I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures
That you paint for me
You know how tight I'm holding
To hard promises to keep

Promises are like little diamonds
Promises are like little hearts you meant to give away
I thought you'd want them back someday
I kept them for you anyway
But I know when I've been given
Hard promises to keep

Over My Head
Richard Pleasance, and A Tanner

In the light of the dashboard
Something flickers then dies
The last cigarette 'til the next town

I'm driving through dreamland
Strange and familiar
And the rain is coming down

Head's down low, moving so slow
And I really don't know
Why I feel so alive when I look in your eyes

It's over my head. Night makes a burning sky
Over my head. Voices are calling
Over my head. Angels will beat their wings
God only knows why it all goes right over my head

Send me away to think about it
I've driven two thousand miles or more
And the rain keeps on coming down

Head's down low, moving so slow
And I really don't know
Why I feel so alive when I look in your eyes

It's over my head. Night makes a burning sky
Over my head. Voices are calling
Over my head. Angels will beat their wings
God only knows why it all goes right over my head

And the singer says "you're just marking time"
And the DJ says "it's your love on the line"
Calling your name ...

It's over my head. Night makes a burning sky
Over my head. Voices are calling
Over my head. Angels will beat their wings
God only knows why it all goes right over my head

May You Never
J Martyn

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

You're just like a great and strong brother of mine
And you know that I love you true
You never talk dirty behind my back
and I know that there's those that do

Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

You're just like a good and close sister to me
And you know that I love you true
You hold no blade to stab me in my back
And I know that there's those that do

Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

Well you're just like a great and strong brother of mine
And you know that I love you like I should
You never talk about me behind my back
And I know that there's time you could

Please won't you please, please bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me

May you never lose your temper
if you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman over night

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

Please won't you please, please won't you bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me

Second Skin
J Farnham, R Fraser, and C Lim

We all have a second skin (sometimes it's superficial)
From without or from within (can be beneficial)
When you have your second skin (all of it essential)
You can be almost anything (very superficial)

We all have a second skin (a real infatuation)
From without or from within (cause hyperventilation)
When you have your second skin (a close examination)
You can be anything (and you'll see the superstition)
