1 RIGHT NOW
Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you
And it’s no surprise
When I close my eyes
And you are in my view
How I wish that you were mine
For more than time allows
Coz I really need to be with you
RIGHT NOW
With your sweet simple touch I feel so much
You say the words that take me to the light
You have the hands that warm me
You understand what calms me
In the shadows of the night
How I wish that you were mine
For more than time allows
Coz I really need to be with you
RIGHT NOW
Where do you go, where d’you hide
When you’re not here beside me
Where are you now ?
Oh I don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow
So baby, come find me today
You’ve gotta find a way .... Somehow
If I could make a wish upon a tear
I would wish that you were here
Coz I really need to be with you
RIGHT NOW
I really need to be with you
I really need to be with you
RIGHT NOW I really need to be with you

2. CATCH YOU
Misty moon floating on a river on a Sunday night in June
Flashing silver would have caught my eye -
But you walked by and I
Was definitely distracted by your hair and then
Attracted to your smile
Your fashion flair your sense of style,
Your French cologne it filled the air and lingered there
And I knew I had to
Catch You - Kiss You
Touch you - keep you
Hold you – have you
Make you mine
I had to Catch You - Kiss You
Touch you - keep you
So I could love love love you all the time
Suddenly my greatest fear was that you’d quickly disappear
Fade into the mist. I couldn’t take that risk -
That's when the chase began
My feet ran faster than my racing heart
Passed lucky lovers in the park
Already hand in hand, side by side
Unlike you and I
But God I had to try
(chorus)
Next thing I knew -
Avoice I own apparently called out to you
You didn’t hesitate at all, you stopped to stay
And wait until I caught my breath and you
A crazy way to meet.
We walked and talked through sunrise, turning up the heat
Then you surprised me when you said you’d have a lifetime of regret if you did not let me
CATCH YOU
Not your average kind of date
Was it planned or was it fate
Who knows, who cares anyway
Year after year we come back here to play
And each time I get to
(chorus)

3 LONG LONG TIME
It’s been a long long time since I saw you
It’s been a long long time
And it’s been just as long
As you’ve been gone
That you’ve been on my mind
And I’ve been long long longing to hold you
I’ve had this longing for some time
Now I know you know the deal
For this aching heart to heal
I gotta feel your body next to mine
Coz dreams and wishes and make-believe kisses
Will no longer do
Hurry home hurry back coz I miss what we had
And I know you’re missing it too
Life’s too short to be filled with thoughts
Of spending this time without you
We need a long long long time together
For what we have in mind
We’ve had long enough
To do our solitary stuff
And when it comes to us we’ll take our time
We’ll take our sweet long time

4 YOU
Looking for adventure
Took me far away
A thousand nights ago
Seen people everywhere
With unfamiliar faces
Friendly strangers
I don’t care to know
I don’t want to know
Coz they’re not YOU
They’re not YOU
And I’m no one
If they’re not YOU
I’ve crossed a million roads
Climbed one hundred hills
Turned new corners every day
Been places everywhere
With space to hang my hat
Even a welcome mat
But I don’t care to stay
I don’t want to stay
Coz you’re not there
You’re not there
And I’m nowhere
If you’re not there
I know I’ve borrowed time from our eternity
I took the long way home
And suddenly I feel like I’m somebody
Who’s finally somewhere
I really want to be
Coz here you are
And I’m with YOU
Here I’ll stay
If YOU will too
Coz there’s no place I’d rather be
Than here where you’re with me.
Oh here I’ll stay
‘Cause I am here with YOU
_____________________________________________
5. DANCE WITH YOU
Suddenly the room has a glow
Guess it must be coz you are in it
Temperature rises to comfortably warm
Summer’s here I can feel it
With you around the rhythm changes in the air
With you I hear the sound of music everywhere
So I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Every night for the rest of my life
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Silently you slip into my world
You come to me with love and laughter
You wrap your light around the heart of my soul
Making every moment matter
With just a kiss you fill my universe with song
This gift of inspiration keeps me going strong
So I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Every night for the rest of my life
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
No turn of time
Will rock me out of rhyme
Spin me round
Or slow me down
Coz I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Every night for the rest of my life
I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU

6 A MILLION YEARS
I can see into your soul by looking in your eyes.
I can feel what’s in your heart just by holding your hand.
I can hear your words unspoken
I don’t need an explanation for what I already understand.
And I can sing your song,
I can cry your tears.
For I have been a sister to your soul
For A MILLION YEARS
You crack me up with all the funny things you say and do.
And when I need it to your wisdom just comes shining through.
You put me back together when I haven’t got a clue
and oh there’s nothing better than a bear-hug from you
And when you sing my song,
when you cry my tears,
I know you’ve been a sister to my soul
For A MILLION YEARS
In your backpack of experience you carry so much pain,
the smiles that seldom the saw the sun,
the dances washed away by rain.
You have lived so many lives on just this earth alone.
You’ve been up and down, down and out, coming out on top
You made it on your own
It took time and one true lover
And a couple of trusted friends
and an innocent child to make you laugh again.
Well we all came together and we’ll stay right here
To sing your song for another MILLION YEARS
And we will share your dreams.
We will catch your tears.
We will crush your fears till they disappear.
And we will circle your soul with an endless love
For another MILLION YEARS

7 BLUE RAIN
Rain on my window falls from out of the dark
Tears on my pillow
I cried them straight from my heart
And somewhere in the dark
I hear the whisper of your name
In the blue BLUE RAIN
Sad old midnight in a lazy mist
The last time you held me
The last time we kissed
And somewhere in the mist
I hear the whisper of your name
In the blue BLUE RAIN
I thought all this rain would drown an old flame
Strange how it just keeps on burning
How the vision of you keeps returning
In the BLUE RAIN, the BLUE RAIN
BLUE RAIN
Morning light melts the dream away
Leaving long lonely hours to linger through the day
But somewhere far away a whisper still remains
Calling your name, calling the night to fall again
Bringing you back to me
In the blue BLUE RAIN
BLUE RAIN, BLUE RAIN
Whispering your name
Blue BLUE RAIN - BLUE RAIN,
BLUE RAIN - BLUE RAIN

8 PIN STRIPE BLUES
My baby he’s a working traveling man
Wheeling and dealing from here to Japan
Looks so fine in his PIN STRIPE BLUES
You can see his confidence shine in his shoes
But when my baby’s gone too long, oh, I miss him so
Hanging out alone I get the PIN STRIPE BLUES of my own
But my baby leaves me with the memory of
His curly smile, his tender love
He returns with a kiss and a ruby rose
Then he slips right into his bedroom clothes
And even though I know it’s barely for a couple of casual days
It feels so good to temporarily put those PIN STRIPE BLUES away
My baby, oh I know he tries his best
Juggling love and job success
I often win but then I lose
To the power of those PIN STRIPE BLUES
Coz when my baby’s out of town – not home where he belongs
Those PIN STRIPE BLUES still hang around – wearing me down
Well just last night he called long distance with the news
Said he’s now sick and tired of those Pin Stripes too
Then he said he’s quitting work….he’s quitting work today
So this time, he’ll be home to stay
Gonna meet my man at midday’s noon -
That's when his train gets in
Then on Platform Ten, I’ll throw that suit right into the charity bin
And I will never have to see, hang up,
Or fold or ever clean or feel those
PIN STRIPE BLUES again!

9 I BELIEVE I LOVE TO BE WITH YOU
I may not know your history
Or all the pain that you’ve been through
I may not know your taste in wine
But I think I know you
I may not like some things you say
Or some of what you do
I may not like the way you think
But I still like you
You are strong and you are wild
Yet sweet as an innocent child
You are fun to be around
But you’re no fool
You make me laugh
You make me smile
And that’s the reason why
I Believe I Love To Be With You
I Believe I Love To Be With You
I may not remember the names of all your friends
Or what you did last Tuesday afternoon
I may not remember your number off by heart
But I promise I’ll remember you
(chorus)
No, I would not love you more or less
If we had no differences
Coz they’re what make you interesting
So don’t you ever change a thing
(chorus)

10 WORTH YOUR WHILE
Taking it slow is the only way I know
The only way to go
To keep love strong
So bear with me if you care for me
And I will not keep you waiting too long
Take a little stroll with me at your leisure
I will give you all of me
I know your pleasure
I will make the loving fascinating
And I will not keep you waiting too long
A little patience always leads to passion
So much satisfaction
Now that’s my style
So if you’re ready
For a love that’s slow but steady
Stay
I’ll make it WORTH YOUR WHILE
I’ve seen too many good things lost in haste
Love gone to waste too soon
So I’m gonna make my loving last
Won’t let it disappear too fast
That’s why I make the moves I do
And I’m ready to make my moves on you
You’re gonna love it
Just thinking of it
Makes me smile
So when you’re ready
For a love that’s slow but steady
Ooo...
I’m gonna make it WORTH YOUR WHILE

11 EVER
In your dreams do you ever see me
In your heart do you ever feel me
In your life will you ever need me anytime
In your bed does your body miss me
Do your lips ever want to kiss me
On a star do you ever wish we were together
Has it ever crossed your mind
Do you whisper my name or ever say it out loud
Do you look for my face when you’re lost in a crowd
Do you stare into space wondering where I hide out
Do you ever
Do you ever
‘Cause I can’t stop thinking about you
And Wondering how to
Do this without you
Do I really have to
No no no…
Do I fill in the silence when you’re on your own
Am I holding your hand when you’re walking alone
Is it me who opens that door when you’re coming home
Is it ever .....
_____________________________________________
12 THIS IS HOW IT IS
Long before I ever knew
I’d fall in love with you
I made a promise
I knew I would always keep
It was long before you loved me
There was nothing I could do
Coz my loyalty to commitment
Runs too deep
And sure it hurts
But This Is How It Is
When you can’t be the one that I am with
In another lifetime
Everyone would know
How much I’ve loved you
All these years
In another lifetime
I would not let you go
And there would be no need
For all these tears
(chorus)
But you’re always in my heart
You’re always in my dreams
You’re in very song I write
You’re in the air I breathe
(chorus)

13 I DO ENJOY YOU SO
All the time I am away from you
I spend looking forward to
The fun things that we always seem to do
When we sit at the piano and play that thing
I’m swept away with that rush of Spring
And the night goes on
coz there’s always one more song to sing
Oh, oh, oh,
I DO ENJOY YOU SO
Oh man, oh boy,
I DO ENJOY YOU SO
Our conversations over cups of tea
Inspire and encourage and comfort me
We seem to share and talk about everything so easily
When I’ve got something I need to say
You’re reliably only an email away
Or that oh so welcome phone call at the end of a day
(chorus)
Every night I thank my lucky star
For the warm and wonderful friend you are
You are closer than a brother, better than a lover
We must have known each other a billion dreams ago
(chorus)
You don’t try to be sophisticated
You take life and you celebrate it
You don’t take love and make it complicated
(chorus)

14 BUT TO LOVE YOU
There’s a moment stuck in time
When your eyes first met mine
I could not believe
You would look at me that way
Things have never been the same
Since you first said my name
Because you came to be
A part of me that day
Coz I could see the love in your eyes
I could hear the love in your voice
I could feel the love in your heart
And I had no choice
But To Love You
That was then now here we are
Together we have come this far
I do believe this path we’re on
Is the one that’s ought to be
Coz I still see the love in your eyes
I still hear the love in your voice
I still feel the love in your heart
And I have no choice
But To Love You
I’d have nothing to lose
If I could consciously choose
To keep on loving you
Coz never before
Have I been more sure
That everything I need I have with you
I know I’ll always
See the love in your eyes
I will hear the love in your voice
Forever I will feel the love in your heart
And I’ll have no choice
But To Love You

15 MY PRAYER
There will come a day
There will come a night
When everything around you
And all there is about you
Suddenly feels right
There will be no doubt
There will be no fear
That is my wish
That is MY PRAYER
(yeah yeah )
There will be a world
Filled with only love
Where everything you have
And all that you are
Really is more than enough
There will be no pain
No need to shed a tear
That is my wish
That is MY PRAYER
(yeah yeah )
When all the children sing
And all the angels dance
Every living breathing thing
Will finally get the chance to see
How it’s all supposed to be
What it really means to be free
And it will be your time
To live the life you choose
Every moment like a dream
Every move you make you win
For there’re no battles left to lose
And there’ll be only hope
No reason to despair
That is my wish
That is MY PRAYER for you
That is my wish
That is MY PRAYER
Yeah Yeah
