Dancers 04:45
I'll never be a dancer if I don't learn how to move my feet I'll never get to study your moves Or know how to sweep you off your feet So please ask me to dance I may not know the moves But I know how to make it last Wherever there's a songbird that sings That's where you and I should meet Singing in the trees Or hidden by the leaves Oh I'd like to see So please say that we will meet And let that old songbird sing for you and me Will you dance or will you go Will you dance or will you go Quietly and pass me by Now where there is a liar there's a truth And I'd like to know which are you I've been dreaming for so long I'm ready for this to come true So please ask for the truth And I'll give the same to you We'll make all the liars feel jealous of me and you Will you dance or will you go Will you dance or will you go Quietly and pass me By are the times that I close my eyes and These are the days but they're slipping away and This is the wire now it's all down to us and Now is the time won't you open your eyes and Will you dance or will you go Will you dance or will you go Quietly and pass me by Take my hand and I'll try not to watch your feet The music starts playing the second our eyes meet

Two Hearts 04:43
Live for the moments so few Anytime spent with you Stop me right in my tracks I want this feeling to last I catch myself dreaming I've got to show you what's been on my mind But I don't know how to say it I think I knew you in another life And now that I've found you I won't go without you Two hearts beating like a drum when I met you Two hearts burning down to one when I touch you I tried to show you what's been on my mind But I don't know how to say it There's so much more to this than the eye can see You think I'm crazy I know it baby When I'm alone you're here with me Two hearts beating like a drum when I met you Two hearts burning down to one when I touch you Two hearts beating like a drum when I met you Two hearts burning down to one when I touch you Two hearts beating like a drum when I met you for the first time Two hearts burning down to one when I touch you Two hearts beating like a drum when I met you Two hearts burning down to one when I touch you

Only You 03:29
You're a sight for sore eyes I tell ya For so long I've been broken down Forbidden love is how this feels but I love it when you come around I know you got a love that's waiting But does it sing to you If you've got something to tell me Well I want you to Cause your soft hands your sweet face and your eyes Can't tell me that this is good night I know that you feel it And I want to say it to Only you How many times in my life have I missed What I was shooting for I get close enough just to graze it but It changes and I feel jaded So show me again what I've been needing And I'll want it more Cause there's a chance for us to feel like We've never been here before Cause your soft hands your sweet face and your eyes Can't tell me that this is good night I know that you feel it And I want to say it too Only you How many times do people say it It's so underestimated To find a word for what won't fade and Oh my lovely lady Only you

Sometimes I wonder If it wasn't really me And the strangest feeling Is there someone else for me Well I go under Every time I think of her I got this feeling Every time she'd disappear That she's been seeing Some guy away from here Well I go under Every time I think of her Well I go under Every time I think of her And that's how I know this love is over And that's how I know this love is over Well I've been lying To myself when I'm alone That she's never cheated Oh how I could be so wrong And that's how I know this love is over And that's how I know this love is over And that's how I know this love is over Well I go under And baby this love is over

Nowadays 04:54
It used to be You were all I needed It used to be Our hearts would die before they'd lose Nowadays I just keep searching for a new way to pretend That we're better off in the end I want something more To help me to believe This is not the new me Days go by untouched By hands that used to love And I don't know why I couldn't see through it When everyone told us You better think it through Nowadays I just keep searching for a new way to pretend That we're better off in the end When my days are lonely I know I'm gonna get through What I have inside I'd never die for you Though I know that we tried It's just something we can't do All this love was me and you Me and you No this ain't love It used to be Love was all we needed It used to be our hearts Would die before they'd lose No this ain't love

Just like every other weekday morning I'd wake up thinking about you I could never be the one to say that We were coming unglued I get so bored that I cannot stand myself Its just a thing that I do But there's a feeling I cannot shake When I start to wonder about you I feel so lonely I cannot fake it Is there somebody with you I got this feeling I cannot shake it I got to face it there's no one like you It seems like everybody's got something that They wish they'd said do you Wish you best and be on your way well How's that working for you I feel so lonely I cannot fake it Is there somebody with you I got this feeling I cannot shake it I got to face it there's no one like you Just like every other Sunday morning I sworn off thinking about you If there's a drink that's strong enough well I think I'd like to have two La la la I think I'd like to have two I feel so lonely I cannot fake it Is there somebody with you I got this feeling I cannot shake it I got to face it there's no one like I feel so lonely I cannot fake it Is there somebody with you I got this feeling I cannot shake it I got to face it there's no one like I got to face it there's no one like I got to face it there's no one like you

Look Me Up 03:43
Every river's flowing on down the line We'll all end up where we're meant to in time I know there's more to it than I can really see I just don't know what to do with all I keep inside of me But how real is the real you when the face in the mirror Is the only one you're talking to What do you say Will you look me up when you come my way What kind of lover would keep you from coming home today Have you ever seen the sunset burning through the sky Like the world is a candle that burns for your eyes And just for a moment it fills you up with hope before it lays back down to die What do you say Will you look me up when you come my way What kind of lover would keep you from coming home today Have you ever really wondered if you were bold enough to try Is that what keeps you from keeping me in mind Did you ever really breakdown just to keep our love alive Well now its over, you let it go aside What do you say Will you look me up when you come my way What kind of lover would keep you from coming home today What do you say Will you look me up when you come my way What kind of lover would keep you from coming home to stay
