What
You're Missing
|
Joseph Williams / Jay Gruska
|
|
All we wanted was each other;
nothin' more.
You were looking for an answer;
you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were
after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the
laughter? Say oh, oh no.
CHORUS:
Oo, what you're missing
could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's
coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when
we're apart.
Had some crazy conversations.
You know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep
us up all night?
I didn't know what you were
after. Maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the
laughter? Say oh, oh no.

Waiting
For You To Decide
|
David Foster / David
Paich / Steve Lukather
|
| |
Used to
think that you'd do anything for me.
I
thought your heart was pounding at my door.
Now it seems
that things aren't right.
You've been
crying ev'ry night.
You're rainy
season just ain't slowing down.
I still
love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want
to know if you've been lying all along.
You've been
running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no
longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's
a heart still left inside.
There's someone
watching tonight.
You've been trying for some time to get away from me.
It's just
the same old game you've tried before.
We've talked
it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines.
You've made
your point now why can't I make mine? I still
love you even though there's things you can't explain.
I don't want
to know if you've been lying all this time.
You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide.
I can no
longer stand here waiting for you to decide
if there's
a heart still left inside.
You can't
get away. There's someone watching tonight. |

Bad
Advice
|
James Pankow / David
Foster
|
| |
She said,
"Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why?
It's just
something you could do without. You better try, try try."
She said,
"I can't reach you on the telephone.
I can't call
you when you're not at home.
You keep
saying that you're all alone.
That's a
lie, lie, lie."
CHORUS:
Bad advice
had me down and undone. Got to try again to believe in myself.
Look at me,
I'm alone in the end. Can you see me falling, falling down.
I said, "Mama can you get it straight?" She said "Why, why, why?"
-"I wanna
tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try"
She said,
"I don't care where you might have gone.
I don't care
'cause you've done me wrong.
You been
doin' it far too long,
So goodbye,
bye, bye."
CHORUS

Chains
|
Ian Thomas
|
| |
I don't
want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves.
I don't want
any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave.
I've kept
my distance. My feelings have never been shown.
I know that
I've been walking fences,
Denied what
I have known.
I carry
chains. (I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy
chains. (Chains that are made.)
I carry chains
(I carry chains) 'round my feet.
I feel the
weight (I feel the weight.)
Chains
are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my
conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked
from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found.
My conscience
persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown.
Calls me
out from the distance
And it just
won't leave me alone.
I carry
chains. (I carry chains.)
Chains that
are made. (Chains that are made.)
I carry heavy
chains. (I carry chains.)
Talk about
the weight. (I feel the weight.) Chains
are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me. |

Hard
To Say I'm Sorry
|
Peter Cetera / David
Foster
|
| |
"Everybody
needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other."
"Even lover's
need a holiday far away from each other."
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay.
After all
that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And
after all that's been said and done,
You're just
the part of me I can't let go.
Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
Wouldn't
wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
Hold me now.
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.
Hold me now.
I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go.
After all
that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
And after
all that's been said and done,
You're just
the part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise
to.
You're gonna
be the lucky one. |

Get
Away
|
Peter Cetera / David
Foster / Robert Lamm
|
| |
When we
get there gonna jump in the air.
No one'll
see us 'cause there's nobody there.
After all,
you know we really don't care.
Hold on.
I'm gonna take you there. |

Follow
Me
|
James Pankow / David
Foster
|
| |
One shoe
on; one shoe off.
Nothin' in
life is decideable; wouldn't you know.
Nothing's
supposed to be easy.
Take one
day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry.
Realize where
you are, and where you're going to.
CHORUS:
Follow me,
ain't no need to go on all by yourself.
Follow me;
don't need nobody else.
Follow me;
and together we'll build a better life.
Follow me.
One more time; toe the line;
Nothing in
life is impossible. Both of us know
Life is as
good as we make it.
Dark reflections
of the past
Drown in
our tomorrows.
Time to laugh;
time to love;
Time to live
again.
CHORUS
Time to
laugh; time to live again. |

Sonny
Think Twice
|
Bill Champlin /
Danny Seraphine
|
| |
You had
it so good for so long
you thought you were so very strong.
You had too much glory
Just a little too much too soon.
You thought
you could never be wrong.
She was always by your songs.
What a sad, sad story
it’s an age old story
Ev'ry man
will get his chance to play the fool
ev'ry time he takes a chance and thinks he’s cool
Sonny, think
twice
before you close the door
Take my advice
Your love can’t take much more
Somethin’ about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone
and you don’t know what to do
when it all comes down to you
(Instrumental)
lady who
loves you more is gone
Sonny, think twice
(Instrumental)
You feel
so afraid to be loved
because you see too much.
What a sad, sad story,
but you brought it up on yourself.
You gave
it all up for fun.
Now you got no where to run
with your sad, sad story
it’s an age old story
Ev'ry man
will get his chance to play the fool
Ev’ry time he takes his chance he still thinks he’s cool.
And you
don’t know what to do
When it all comes down to you.
Don’t
think that she don’t care
‘but your Saturday night affair,
and you’d better watch out
somebody is gonna be there
Sonny, think
twice
Before you close the door.
Take my advice
Your love can’t take much more.
Somethin’ about your life is wrong
When the lady who loves you more is gone.

What
Can I Say
|
James Pankow / David
Foster
|
| |
Lonely nights;
empty days, use me up so many ways.
You
came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna
hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that
the love between us is right.
I can't believe
that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS:
What can
I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be
strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go
away.
Take me
back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to
you that what we used to be.
Are we really
gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe
that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
CHORUS |
| |
| |

Rescue
You
|
Peter Cetera / David
Foster
|
| |
After he
hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door.
The story he's telling you, you weren't
believin'; you've certainly heard it before.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so
sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad.
Say the
word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue
you.
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time.
And I know you're giving him more than
you've taken; you've come to the end of the line.
And I can't stand it, you're feeling so
sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad.
Say the
word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue
you. (Say the word, say the word)
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the
run and help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you
what I'll do.
Just like
in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
I just can't take it when your feeling
so sad.
I can't take it, it's making me mad.
Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the
run and help is on the way.
Something missing in your life; tell you
what I'll do.
Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue
you. I'm gonna rescue you.
Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say
the word, say the word)
Say the word and I will come to rescue
you. (You know that help is on the way) |

Love
Me Tomorrow
|
Peter Cetera / David
Foster
|
| |
She said,
"It's lonely here tonight." She's always sad when she's alone.
She said,
"I need you here tonight." She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves
me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part
of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she
said,
"Love me
tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow;
hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?"
You know
it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though
it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she
loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part
of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she
said,
"Love me
tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow;
hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can say?"
She
loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part
of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she
said,
"Love me
tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow;
hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?"
Love me tomorrow;
love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow;
I need you much more than yesterday.
