Never Fade Away

I've had a lot of big dreams
I've made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do

I've met a lot of cold hearts
I've learned to smile and deceive
I know I'm hard to be around
But you never leave

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

(Chorus)
You say you love me
Just as I am
You always treat me
The best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me, baby
Just as I am, just as I am

I've made a lot of heartaches
I've found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more, You love me more

I'm not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand

(Chorus)

I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me

(Chorus twice)

The Power Of Love (5:28)
(Jennifer Rush, Mary Applegate, Candy DeRouge, Gunther Mende)

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

(Chorus)
Cause you are my lady
And I am your man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
Cause I am always by your side

(Chorus)

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
(Repeat verse 3 times)

I Can't Let Go (4:16)
(Music by Graham Russell, Lyrics by Graham Russell, Billy Steinberg)

I have the ring that needs your finger
I want you always to remember
Oh, I want you to be a part of my dreams
I was so lonely here without you
I was so cold just like a statue
Oh, Being with you has made me complete

I can feel your loving touch inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

(Chorus)
Every day and every night
I never thought your love could feel so right
Every day and through the night
Let me be the one to hold you tight
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let to
You're a part of me, don't you know

Would you give me just a lifetime
I'll stand beside you through the years that come and go
Nothing at all could stand in our way

I can feel your answer deep inside me
I can hear you whispering you want to stay close to me

(Chorus)

I can't let go
Can't let go
I can't let go
You're a part of me, don't you know

After All (3:39)
(Seth Swirsky)

Night-
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans

You-
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
Cause you finally understand

(Chorus)
After all the times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said that made me think that you'd never call
Now you turn around and tell me that you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms where you belong
After all

We-
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right

You didn't know-
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight

(Chorus)

You were young
And your dreams took you places far from me
How I longed
To believe
You'd return
Now here you are

(Chrous - twice)

I Wanna Hold You Tonight (3:38)
(Graham Russell, Donald Cromwell, Ken Rarick)

Hard as a diamond's eye
Soft as a last goodbye
These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light
That shines on an island night
These are the thoughts that say
It's not too late to tell you,
I know I wanna tell you

(Chorus 1)
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice
Hot as a passion's rise
These are the days I spend alone

Pure as an infant's heart
That beats through the light and dark
These are the pictures of you
Always getting closer
I wanna hold you closer

(Chorus 2)
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna hold you tonight
I wanna be there when love starts calling

(Chorus 1)

I only wish my heart could fly
Like it does when I sit and dream
I'll never wait alone again
As I hold you tenderly
If my thoughts were real
I'd be with you now
It's the only part that's wrong
It's a lonely night, and I'm trying to hold on

(Chorus 2)
(Chorus 1)

Make It Right (3:49)
(Graham Russell, Donald Cromwell, Ken Rarick)

I want you to brighten the days of my life
I want you and I all alone to be together at night
I can't stand it
The feeling when you're far away
I want to wrap you up in my little world
So you'll be here today

When we fly through the night
And you feel the rush of a thousand dancers
Come into your life
I'll be there to make it right

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

I want you to put your trust in me
Say goodbye to all your heartaches as fast as you can
I need you, to surrender to me all your body and soul
And the spirit we seek will enter us both and make us complete

When we fly through the night
And it feels like heaven's wings we're riding
You've got to hold on tight
If you feel like I do
Knowing nothing can go wrong between us
I'll be there to make it right, make it right

Know me, show me
All your love
You're here today
You know you're here always
You know I can't get enough
You know I can't get enough

If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right
If something is wrong, I'll make it right

When we fly through the night
And you feel the rush of a thousand dancers
come into your life
I'll be there to make it right

If something is wrong, I'll make it right(repeat and fade)

When The Time Is Right (4:56)
(Gerald Milne)

When the time is right
I will come back for you
To hold you through the night
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Why can't we learn how to love and let go
One more time

Oh Jane, hold me in your arms again
Don't you feel the heat of the night deep inside, Oh Jane

When the time is right
And you reach out for me
I'll run back to your side
Just where I used to be

Oh Jane, You can take the pain away
Say we'll be together once more
Please open the door, Oh Jane

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Will we ever learn how to love
Learn how to love and let go

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Will we ever learn how to love
Learn how to love and let go

When the time is right
I will come back for you
With arms to hold you tight
Just like I always do

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Because I believe the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again
Tell me if you want me to go
I'll leave you alone, Oh Jane

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Can't you feel the heat of the night is still burning bright
Deep inside

Oh Jane, take me to your room again
Why can't we learn how to love,
Learn how to love and let go.

Sandy (4:16)
(Bruce Springsteen)

(Chorus)
Oh Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight, for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl, my, my, my, my, my baby.
Oh Sandy girl

Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoney faces left stranded on this warm July

And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open
Like Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York virgins by the score

(Chorus)

Sandy, the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night, she said she won't set herself
On fire for me, anymore
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie
For telling fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life is through
You outta quit this scene, too

Oh Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights, our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight,and I'll promise I'll love you forever
Oh I mean it Sandy girl
Oh, my, my, my baby,
Oh, Sandy girl, my, my, my, my, my baby
I love you Sandy girl, my, my, my, my baby
Oh, love me tonight, I love you my baby
Oh, Sandy girl, I love you forever
I mean it Sandy girl
My, my, my, my baby,

Great Pioneer (4:02)
(Graham Russell)

It happened long ago, when I felt the need
For a life of my own
I dreamt of summer love, and moving high up north
But no one would go
So I walked up the hill and lay there
Imagining the day was near
I know I want to stay there
And be known as a great pioneer

I made a promise then, that I'd find a place
Where my world won't end
Give me a piece of land, that will be my life
That I will defend
If I work really hard,I will surely survive
I know my virtue is strong
No one could oppose a spirit so raw
To be, oh a part of the state
To be known as a great pioneer

I keep the fires burning
To let you know I'm free
My heart will always be yearning

To be, oh a part of the state
To be, oh a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer

Oh, a part of the state
To be, oh a part of the state
To be, known as a great pioneer

And if it all should end, and I hear the call
From the great unknown
I'll need to go my way
Let me have my day
Let me be alone

I'll just walk up the hill and lay there
Knowing that my time is here
I know I wanna stay there

And be, oh a part of the state
And be, a part of the state
And be, known as a great pioneer

Black And Blue (4:12)
(Graham Russell, Donald Cromwell, Ken Rarick, Billy Steinberg)

Blue, blue is the color of sky
Blue is the color of your eyes
Your beautiful blue eyes

Black, black is the color you wore
Black is the promise you made before you closed the door
And never told me why

(chorus)
I'm black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

You, you used to sleep by my side
You swore you had nothing to hide
And now there is nothing left to lose

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

(Chorus)

Down in the depths of your soul
I hear the echo and the sigh
That your secrets can not hide
They never lie to me

Night, night after long endless night
You swore you had nothing to hide
And I was so naive to believe your lies

(Chorus)

Broken in two because of you
I feel like I'm defeated
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Black and blue because of you
I feel like I've been beaten
You walked away from me
Leaving me all black and blue

Sunset (2:47)
(Graham Russell)

Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time, the day is to end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
It's soon back again

But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you
Don't want to know where it ends
I'll live with either way
Just tell me what I have to do

Where is the joy time forgets
You ask me if I know
It's still as before
Up on a breeze soaring high
It comes alive each day
Whenever you call

But now to lose your love
That shown throughout my day
To walk along our paths all alone
I have memories enough
To help me find my way
And bring back all the love we've known

Never Fade Away (4:56)
(Graham Russell)

Walking along the boulevard
Speaking into the air
Where can I find the life I know
That only dreams can share
I close my eyes and see you there
Calling me far beyond
Wrapped in a robe of mystery
You wave your magic wand

Dreaming is real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not live, all my dreams are your home
I stare through a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps
as you cast off my fear

Walk with me through the gates of time
To eternity, And our love, will never fade away
We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

Walking along the boulevard
Wishing we were complete
Why are some things so very hard
To witness and believe
The victor of this universe
The victim of the wind
Where does a dream begin and end
And where does life begin

Dreaming is real, only life is illusion
Don't break my heart
Hold out your hand, and I'll never lose you
Don't break my heart

Yes, I'm a man, and just flesh and bone
But you do not live, all my dreams are your home
I stare thru a veil, so thin yet so near
And walk in your footsteps as you cast off my fear

Walk with me thru the gates of time
To eternity, And our love, will never fade away
We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away

We can climb to a bridge across the sky
Where the souls that would always cry
Will never fade away
