I Found Out 03:22
It's a clear day All the colors are in view Feels like for the very first time I can see them with my own eyes In a dark haze In a cloud till I saw you No more looking out the rear view This time I think I found a breakthrough Oh, I was lost and alone thinking I was the only one Oh, but you opened my eyes to a brand new horizon Now I know what love can do 'Cause I found out when I found you There's a feeling that I used to know so well Wake up sleeping in a strange bed with shadows hanging over my head But with one look you released me from that spell You came running to the rescue Gave me something to hold onto Oh, Honey you've got a spark That can light up the darkest night Yeah and I hope that you see What it's doing to me

"This could be the start of something beautiful" she said "Don't you think it's time for us to find a dream to cling to" "Maybe all are better days are waiting up ahead Say that you agree and you will be the one my heart sings to"

Mansfield 03:28
Darlin' what's your hurry? Been running 'round in circles when you know that never gets you very far There's no time to worry Tomorrow's gonna find you girl Don't matter where you are Just slow it down and Take some time to look around and see What a lovely, lovely place this world could be I can see you're tired Another sleepless night you've spent worrying 'bout all the things you lack It's left you uninspired and now you say you'd give it up just for the chance to have that feeling back
4.
Well we all rolled into town looking for a little action and escape from all our worries for a while We'd been feeling pretty down and in need of some distraction but we couldn't find a scene to suit our style So now that we're all home again Drop the needle on a record and play Something to make all our troubles feel miles away Oh, don't you think it's time? We need to hear a little rock 'n roll 'cause it's the only thing left that can stir our souls 'Round and 'round we'll go till we're feeling fine Now there used to be a time when we didn't need a reason to sit back and let the moments slip away But the days grew long and the years wore on as the seasons changed to seasons and we felt so far removed from yesterday But if you want to go back home What's the use in working if you never get the chance to have some fun? Let the music take you 'round and get lost in the sound with everyone Oh I do believe it's time
5.
Unspoken 03:18
Well the sun sets low into the night Leaves a trail of golden light across the summer sky and over you and I And it takes me to that evening when you swore you'd love me thick and then and I believed in you but you broke my heart in two You can't keep on keeping everything inside 'cause it's bound to leave you broken And I can't keep counting all the tears we've cried but your heart remains unspoken As the stars came creeping into view I turned to catch a glimpse of you You were staring into space as the tears rolled down your face So if you must leave I'll understand I'll try to be a bigger man I'll be sad to see you go but I want you to know Don't say you love me when I know your heart's not in it Don't say you need me I can't take another minute I can't take another minute
6.
So Easy 03:20
It's been fifteen days since we went along on our separate ways I may say I'm fine but I only fool myself So imagine the sight of me watching you walk in the room last night dressed to kill on the arm of someone else You didn't have to make it look so easy You didn't have to go and find somebody new You didn't have to make it look so easy Now what's a broken hearted boy supposed to do? Honey I couldn't see what it was that you saw in a boy like me but I told myself "this must be my lucky day" But now you're moving on and I'm seeing the proof that our love is gone but before I go there is one thing I must say
7.
We're in perpetual motion We never stop Just change direction We're like a wave on the ocean We're tossed about with no protection From the chaos that's swirling around All the gravity that's holding us down We rely on the purest of sound to lead us home Oh, you gotta keep on moving You're like a change in the weather A flash of light before the thunder You gotta keep it together You gotta keep from going under But the way of the wind in your hair and the sweet summer song in the air takes away all my thoughts and my cares 'til there's just you We are standing on the edge tonight with our eyes softly fixed on the pale horizon We'll be dancing under open skies when our ship, when our ship comes in
8.
Here today, gone again tomorrow Never find a way to hide from all the sorrow that's been bringing me down so low without you You and I had a good thing going 'till I said goodbye, never really knowing how unhappy my world could be without you Now I'm starting to see the light When you find the one better hold on tight 'cause once the damage is done you can't go back Now and then I lie awake and wonder how it might have been if knew what I know now then I never would have to live without you Maybe I was wrong to let you go I know it took some time but now I know love is hard to find I might have had some growing up to do but now I'm ready to prove my love to you if I could change your mind
9.
Wish 03:07
I wish that I was able to fly like a bird up in the blue I'd sail with skill to your windowsill and wait patiently for you I'd show you around the sleepy old town and be back before anyone stirred Then I'd sing soft and low all the songs that you know sweeter than you ever heard Me and you should be like old shoes never more than a step apart Above our chins we'd wear broken-in grins cultivated by happy hearts And oh! When we dance all the joy and romance would still wow the onlooking eyes 'Cause though we're old leather we're much better together Why should they be so suprised? I wish that I was able to fly I wish that I was able to fly
10.
Too Late 03:40
Burning all your bridges down Praying that she'll come around but it's too late Thinking if you play it right she'll be in your arms tonight but it's too late, too late Well you want her, need her miss her so but you bite your tongue and you let her go She ain't waiting 'round on you anymore You've got to love her or leave her alone 'cause you ain't never gonna change her mind She's got to find her way out on her own Don't you know it's just a matter of time If love is what you're looking for don't you let her walk out that door Go and tell her This could be your final chance to find a little true romance Go and tell her, go and tell her Tell her you want her, need her miss her so and you're never gonna let her go You ain't waiting round on her anymore
11.
It's true that I'm a man of few words I let the mocking birds do all the talking 'cause I prefer it But since you ambled into my life I ramble on day and night and I've tried but I can't deter it What is this spell you've got me under? I wonder if it's love that I've found I hope this feeling lasts forever Together we're making such a beautiful sound There's something in the way that you smile that knocks me out for a while Yeah you sure know how to send me reeling And when you kiss me goodnight I know the morning light will find me feeling those happy feelings Before you life seemed dull and tragic but magically you turned it around And now each day keeps getting better Together we're making such a beautiful sound Together we're making a beautiful sound
12.
Well my time has come My bags are packed Gonna catch that evening train and I'm never coming back I've been over and over it Now I'm over you You used my heart as your stepping stone But that's okay because I'm better off on my own I've been over and over it Now I'm over you You strung me along and played me for a fool 'till I've cried all the tears I could cry We've said everything that needs to be said except for the words goodbye One day baby You just wait and see I'll be the finest thing around and you'll be just a memory I've been over and over it Now I'm over you
