A Beautiful Life Can we take a little time Back porch in the rocking chair Leave the light on I’ll be meeting you out there Reminisce every moment passed All the times we shared You and I growing old together We stood and faced the weather One thing I know - You are my soul Gotta Life ahead of us were gonna take it slow Little things you do- I love about you Hold you close like the day we met And watch our lives unfold in the: Sky tonight and the stars will tell our story No doubt in my mind tonight And I just know there never will be… It's A Beautiful Life Sun come up in the morning Underneath the shade of an oak tree Colors of the leaves are changing Seasons moving endlessly Man where did the time go We got some history A little bit older now But you still look so good to me One thing I know - You are my soul Gotta Life ahead of us were gonna take it slow Little things you do- I love about you Hold you close like the day we met And watch our life unfold in the: Sky tonight and the stars will tell our story No doubt in my mind tonight And I just know there never will be… It’s A Beautiful Life I know you won’t care if I get a little grey hair Sitting out back together resting in our rocking chairs Music in the background we got time to share It’s been so beautiful loving you through all of these years One thing I know - You are my soul Gotta life ahead of us were gonna take it slow Little things you do- I love about you Hold you close like the day we met And watch our life unfold in the: Sky tonight and the stars will tell our story No doubt in my mind tonight And I just know there never will be… It’s A Beautiful Life

Let It Run 03:45
Won't you tell me who side that you’re on Or are you waiting for the thrill to be gone I was under the impression our love was gonna last so long It should come to me as no big surprise You been acting like a spoiled little child So used to getting what you want But this time you know it's right before your very eyes The second I get back home You’ll wish that I had never gone We'll make believe the night is young We still got time…Let it run Let it run run run At what moment did it slip from your eyes And I remember when we used to be high I can feel it get away so be careful it don't pass you by So you think some time will do you good I think you got me miss-understood I’ve been trying to build a bridge but your intentions they don't land where they should CHORUS Ohhh…I need to remind you how Ohhh…My love will find you now Ohhh…But I don't need to tell you that CHORUS

Stars above and fireside No city rush no cars driving by A silent night all to ourselves Warm wind blows the ocean swells Where ever we go Where ever we are Whether miles between You’re never far No matter what comes Between our plans Anytime you fall I’ll help you stand Feel the sand beneath your feet Take it in oh It’s all too brief Rolling waves and the turning tides At least for now time is on our side CHORUS Wave goodbye We'll meet again I don't know how I don't know when And I will wait patiently Just know I'm here If you're needing me CHORUS So it comes The end of days Now we go Our separate ways Hold me close Before we part And know I am Inside your heart CHORUS
4.
I’ve been thinking too much Too much about nothing Maybe nothing at all I got some time on my hands I know that you’ll understand I wrote my plans on your wall If I called you now What would it take Would you come around I could sure use a visit I won’t get to specific But I could handle right now Cause I’m feeling ready for You to come on through that door Catch me off guard again Before this day comes to an end Or lift me up tonight Tell me that it will be all right Waiting on a friend Sun is bright and it’s burns My watch is slow but it turns I may have wasted the day I wish you answered my call First ring, guess its off And it’s off and away There’s always tomorrow I’ll try again Get it right this time But on a day like today I could have used your face And just a little smile CHORUS And they'll be time when the going gets tough And in those times all you need is some love Right now could use a moment with you Be there and help me through CHORUS
5.
You can’t tell me nothing matters anymore When there’s so much left worth fighting for Look around and you can see it everywhere Someone in need but will you take the time to care You know exactly what I’m talking bout Deep down its something you thought about Just a little bit - Just a little more We gotta come together what are we waiting for No matter where you’re from we all play a part Everyone of us we share one beating heart We got some work to do we gotta world to mend A stranger on the street could use a helping hand Its time to give a little it don’t take that much Sometimes a simple smile can lift somebody up You know exactly what I’m talking bout Deep down its something you thought about CHORUS What would the voices of tomorrow say They’d say its time to make a change What would the voices of tomorrow say They’d beg us to turn around today CHORUS We gotta come together and just change like the weather We gotta turn around and it’s better late then never There is a longs ways to go a road straight up hill But when we reach the top man the view will give you chills It lies with in us all beneath new rays of sun And from this point of view we are just one CHORUS

Get It Right 03:12
Saturday night but I know there’s no way I’m gonna get you out tonight Like a bullet in the head the words you said were meant to hurt yeah But I know it ain’t right and you know me I never can resist a fight But you're looking your best so let's put it to rest right now Cause we're gonna make it this time Gonna get it right - Get it right tonight Time to put and end to this fight Put our weapons down & listen to our hearts right now We're gonna get it right tonight Like a soldier in the war It's been so long I've forgotten what we're fighting for Try to make amends These battles got to end tonight How can I forget when you’re looking your best It reminds me how it all began Lets remember what we had and start it all over again CHORUS This ain’t gonna make it any better Cause you and I were in this together Get through the pain to get to the pleasure We done our screaming and it's time to listen Lets call it a truce and all is forgiven Its Sat night we don't want to miss it – you know CHORUS

Storyline 03:17
A little voice inside me saying don't go We got some unfinished business I can’t let it go Where’s all this leading I don't know But if u never spent time on the telephone line I guess you’ll never know Cause I’ll wait for you in the morning light Were not gonna sleep till we get it right Till the sun comes up in your eyes And I wish I could choose those words to say Gonna write this night in a different way It’s our own storyline I wish I had found it but it slipped away Right now I wanna reach on back and change our yesterday What’s its gonna take to go a different way Were on a one way track and we cant go back And mend the mistakes we made CHORUS What’s done is done Were moving on We can write tomorrow In a brand new song It's a second chance To get it right We can be the writers Of our own lives CHORUS
8.
I don’t know what your thinking But do you think this could be love Can’t see into the future But this moment not enough Can you tell can you tell me That I’m thinking way too much It's a feeling to hold onto Not a thing you wanna rush Ohhhhh…. You been on my mind Ohhhhh…. Can we find the time This is our life and we can make it what we want Waste everything or get what we got Do it alone but it be better together I know You Know Understand we gotta give it our all We only got one chance Don't let me down baby A long way to go But we made it this far I know - You know Gotta move it on forward Before I get left behind I’m not a mind reader But I need you to read mine Here you are hear your heart beat Only love can beat me down Only love can build me up Anytime you come around Ohhhhh …. You been on my mind Ohhhhh…. Can we find the time CHORUS This time I swear I’m right here with you This time we can make a start I can feel it in my heart Cause I could never live without you I know - You Know CHORUS

Souvenir 05:04
Underneath the moonlit night Floating above the city lights Fire burns itself to gold Keep your window open cause you might Meet an angel on the wind So close she’s whispering Dancing lights the city breaths Feeding off of all our dreams Taxicabs are heading home Clouds are writing lovers poems Etched against your silhouette Coming back, but just not yet I still need A souvenir of city lights It never truly turns to night Embers always burning bright How I see it in hindsight Cause I can't go on without Something new to ease my doubt And every time I’m looking up There’s someone else looking down And if you know the time is now Why is it you seem unsure Let’s just take a leap of faith And when you land you’ll have my word Cause its time to go I can feel you watching me at nighttime A prisoner …for a lifetime Chasing empty streets that take you nowhere A souvenir of something that is not there Where you go when will is thin That place you find to start again Down these broken boulevards Keep it closer than your heart beating Following the clues you left Never know what to expect Holding hope but not my breath Come and go these thoughts always fleeting Try to trace from where you came Stumble out an open flame Every city breathes the same Asking empty alleys for answers And they barely echo out Silence whispers all too loud Wander till you loose your doubts Nothing left to take but some chances Cause I can't go on without Something new to ease my doubt And every time I’m looking up There’s someone else looking down And if you know the time is now Why is it you seem unsure Let’s just take a leap of faith When you land you’ll have my word Cause it's time to go I can feel you watching me at nighttime A prisoner … for a lifetime Chasing empty streets that take me nowhere A souvenir of something that is not there

Let Love 03:59
Either way you let your mind go Every choice you need to make You can wear me like a winter coat Keeping you warm and dry through the rain and snow I can’t say anything that will make you change your mind Another man calls your name but I need you tonight Let love be your tomorrow Let love drive you home Let love be the moment Don't leave me here alone I see you pass by every now and then In a strangers face in a different time I can’t remember how we met our ends But let me make amends if the fault was mine I can’t say anything that will dry the tears you cry Another man calls your name but I need you tonight CHORUS How ever you make your mind up Where ever you wind up I’m reminded of all we had Where ever this takes you if it builds or it breaks you I’ll be here to guide your hand CHORUS
