Nothing's Gonna Stop Us

Jefferson Starship

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let them say we're crazy
I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes here's what I'm gonna do

Let them say we're crazy
What do they know
Put your arms around me baby don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us

Oh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, and ever and ever
Hey!

And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
And we can build this thing together
Stand this storm forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other

Goodbye

Air Supply, David Foster/Linda Thompson

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye

Forever Young

Alphaville

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young
Or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sand pit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when the race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madmen.

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young

Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody
Some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Summer of 69

Bryan Adams

I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled, it was the summer of 69
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I should have known we'd never get far
When I look back now that summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in and that's when I met you
Standing on your mama's porch you told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 69

Man we were killing time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind
I guess nothing could last forever forever

And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about you, wonder what on earth went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch you told me it would last forever
The way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 69

Do I Have To Say The Words?

Bryan Adams

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me
Darling rescue me

With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me
Darling rescue me

When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - Darling' rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone
Like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please
Darling' rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see
Darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone
Like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you
How good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Shattered Dreams

Johnny Hates Jazz

So much for your promises
They died the day you left me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side

And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said you'd die for me

Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong

And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

From this empty heart
I thought it was you who said you'd die for love

And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
And now you've given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

Oh no no no
You said you'd die for me
Oh oh die for me
So much for your promises
So much for your promises

Take on Me

A-ha

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's better to be safe than sorry

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day...
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day...
Take on me
Take me on
Take on me...

Words

Bee Gees

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you down
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now, my love
Right now, there'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Goodnight Girl

Wet Wet Wet

You hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me. So heal me
And tear me apart

I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my Goodnight Girl

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last

You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart

I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
I won't let them know
About my Goodnight Girl

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last

It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try

Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last

Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes and sadness
Take your love 'n' promises
And make them last
You make them last

When Can I See You Again

Babyface

When can my heart beat again
When does the pain ever end
When do the tears stop from running over
When does "you'll get over it" begin
I hear what you're saying
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
When can I breathe once again
And when can I see you

When does my "someday" begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then, babe...
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you...again

Yeah, baby
Do you see what I'm saying
Even if, if it's not making sense, baby
So when can I see you again

When can I see you again
Can my heart beat again, baby
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see, babe, again

Wanna see you again
Again......

(I've Had) The Time of My Life

Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

CHORUS:
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to loose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say "Stay with me tonight."
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

CHORUS

'Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I've found the truth
and I owe it all to you

CHORUS

You Might Think

Cars

You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child

CHORUS :
You might think it's foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

CHORUS

And it's hard so hard to take
There's no escape without a scrape
You kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometime
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled

CHORUS

Open Road

Gary Barlow

My life is extraordinary bare, I fought the fear and chased the pain,
My life doesn't need to be explained,
I chose to walk this life as one.
Sometimes as i live upon my island,
Cut off from emotion and it's pain,
That's when i am tempted by the waters,the waters that can take me far away

CHORUS :
So i'll just keep on walking down this open road,
Hoping someone somewhere needs me
So I'll just keep on walking down this open road,
Talking to the man who knows me,
The man is me

My life was once full of people's faces,
Brought to me by love which isn't strange.
My life had the goodness of blue waters,
A day's a day for all I used to say,
Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out,
Drowning in my autocratic ways
That's when I am tempted by the waters,the waters that can take me far away

My life is now full of people's faces,
Within the light of change I pulled away,
My life shows that "no man is an island"
I've exchanged the piece of life I cut away
Now you won't see me walking down that open road,
I've found someone who needs me,
No you won't see me walking down that open road,
I've found at last the man who knows me,
Yes, he knows me,
The man was me.

Love Of The Common People

Young Paul

Living on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through.
What can you do?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you she'll get by

'Cause she's living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground.
You got to walk into town to find a job.
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru'
And chills you to the bone.
Now you'd better go home where it's warm,

Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away.
You take 'em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is in your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray.
Making it strong were you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,
Smile's really hard on a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.

Joyride

Roxette

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars,
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon.
Oh she's the heart of the funfair,
She's got me whistling her private tune.
And it all begins where it ends,
And she's all mine,
My magic friend.she says:

Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride.

She's a flower,
I can paint her,
She's a child of the sun,
We're a part of this together,
Could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
And we're all magic friends.
She says:

Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider.
I take you on a skyride,
A felling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
Who rocks you like a baby.

Missing You

John Waite

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild

And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you¹ve been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What I might say

There's a message
In the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight

You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight

In your world
I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand

And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say

And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say

I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say

Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself

Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
Ain't missing you
Oh no

No matter what my friends might say
I ain't missing you

Eternal Flame

Bangles

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling,
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

Verse 2
I believe it's meant to be, darling,
I watch you when your sleeping,
You belong to me,
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning and eternal flame?

Chorus
Say my name, the sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
and then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling, Ooh....

Repeat Chorus
Say my name, the sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
and then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling, Ooh....

Repeat Verse 1
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling,
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

Foolish Games

Jewel

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window,
always felt I was outside looking in on you
You were always the mysterious one
with dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees

These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always brilliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring, things that were clean
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself

These foolish games are tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You took off your coat and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that

Time After Time

Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
flash back warm night, almost left behind
suitcase of memories
Time after sometime you pictured me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're callin' to me
I can't hear what you've said
you said: "Go slow, I fall behind "
the second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

I turn, my picture fades
and darkness has turned to grey
watching through windows
you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

Fast Car

Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He lives with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
