Look at how he looks at her
Will someone ever I look at me that way-
Full of all the feelings and the soft
Unspoken words that lovers say?
I thought that I knew ev'ry single
Look and sweet expression on his face,
Yet this is one that I don't recognize,
Although I've sat and studied him for hours.
But now I see how love completely occupies
A pair of' eyes...
See the way' they gaze at her,
Like slaves they follow every where she goes.
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do I ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what I'm feeling shows?
Sometimes I have the feeling
Everybody knows...
And even though it's crazy,
Still I can't help wondering
If I'll ever live to see the day
When by some miracle of miracles,
He'll turn around
And look at me that way!
Where did we go wrong
Is it really over
Where does my heart belong
It it's not with you
We held on to our pride
When we left each other
But what good is pride tonight
When we're all alone
Why did we give up on us so fast
Isn't love supposed to last
Forever
Oh
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
Tonight I stay awake
Wanting just to call you
Knowing my heart would break
If you were not home
So, I never call
And you will never answer
You know
The saddest part of all
Is I know you're there
Why do we run from
The arms of love
When we really
Need each other
More than ever
Oh
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
Oh
Both of us thought
We'd find true love
With another
Why were we so blind
It was right here
All the time
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
What were we thinking of
Looking for something better
Reaching for more than love
What were we thinking of
Too late we both discovered
We're lost without each other
What were we thinking of
What were we thinking of
Yeah
What were we thinking of
What werew we thinking of
There's not a morning I begin
without a thousand questions
running through my mind.
That I don't try to find the reason
and the logic in the world
that God design.
The reason why, a bird was given wings
if not to fly, and praise the sky
with every song it sings.
What's right or wrong,
where I belong
whithin the schem of things.
And why have eyes that see
and arms that reach
unless you're meant to know there's
something more.
If not to hunger for the meaning of it all
then tell me what a soul is for.
Why have the wings unless you're meant to fly
and tell me please why have a mind
if not to question why
And tell me where,
where is it written what it is I'm meant to be
That I can't dare to have the chance to
pick the fruit of every tree
or have my share of every sweet imagined possibility.
Just tell me where, where is it written, tell me where.
If I were only meant to tend the nest
then why does my imagination sail
accross the mountains and the seas
beyond the make-believe of any fary tale
why have the thirst if not to drink the wine
and what a waste to have a taste
of things that can't be mine.
And tell me where,
where is it written what it is I'm meant to be
that I can't dare to see the meanings
in the mornings that I see
or have my share of every sweet imagined possibility.
Just tell me where, where is it written, tell me where.
Or if it's written anywhere.
Look at me-I must be absolutely crazy!
How did I ever let it get this far?
Look at me! I'm getting deeper into trouble.
Am I woman or a man?
Am I a devil or a demon?
Papa was right!
I ask too many questions.
He said a soul can get perplexed-
I can't believe what happens next!
Papa was right!
It seems this little game I play
Becomes more risky every day!
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
Under the canopy
I'll stand with her tomorrow night!
And place a ring upon her hand
With her all dressed in white
Tomorrow night
I don't know how this came about
But I'll be wed without a doubt.
Oh, my God, I've got to get out!
Look at this-The way one lie
begets another
Somebody wake me up and say
It's all a dream!
(Look at this!)
Look how easily I fool them
They may have eyes but they don't see
They never really look at me
People are blind!
How else would everyone believe me?
It might be interesting to know
Just how much further I can go
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
I can't believe what I'll presume to be
Tomorrow night,
I'm not the bride but I'm the groom to be
Tomorrow night,
And that's a monumental trick
I'd better think of something quick
(Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick!
I could run away
I could leave without a trace,
Go anywhere or any place
Where no one knows my face.
As a woman or a man?
I don't know just so I can
Run away-run away!
I'd be free-I'd be rid of all of this
But there's someone I would miss
And being near him is what this is all about!
So running away is out!
Papa dear, you dreamed of dancing
At my wedding;
But something tells me that I'm right
You wouldn

There was a time when we were down and out.
There was a place when we were starting over.
We let the bough break
we let the heartache in
Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still -
And for a moment we were separated. -
And then you found her
you let the stranger in
Who's sorry now
who's sorry now?
What
what kind of fool tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow -
Losin' you now
Wondering why. -
Where will I be tomorrow?
There was a time when we were down and out
. . .
What
what kind of fool tears it apart
Leaving me pain and sorrow -
Losin' you now.
How can I win -
Were will I be tomorrow?
Was there a moment when I cut you down
Played around.
What have I done only apoligize for being as they say
The last to know -
It has to show when someone is in your eyes.
What kind of fool tears it apart
Mem’ries light the corners of my mind.
Misty water color mem’ries of the way we were.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind.
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then,
Or has time rewritten ev’ry line?
If we had the chance to do it all again,
tell me, Would we? Could we?
Mem’ries may be beautiful, and yet,What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget.
So it’s the laughter we will remember,
When ever we remember the way we were,
The way we were.
There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream,
Of all your life.
This is one of those moments.
I will always remember this chair,
that window, the way the light streams in.
The clothes I'm wearing,
The words I'm heating,
The face I'm seeing,
The feeling I'm feeling,
The smell, the sounds, will be written
On my mind, will be written in my heart
As long as I live!
I can, travel the past and take what I need
To see me through the years
What my father learned and his
Father before him will be there
For my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests
Of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can enter rooms
Were there are rooms within rooms
Wrapped in the shawl that learning weaves.
I remember, Papa-everything you taught me
What you gave me, Papa-
Look at what it's brought me
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
And now they're about to be mine!
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away...
I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books I've longed to hold
I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the mysteries of life unfold
Like a link in a chain
From the past to the future
That joins me with the children yet to be,
I can now be a part
Of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!
There are certain things that once you have
No man can rake away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-
And now they're about to be mine!
There are moments you re

Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor, that leads your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, and endless aching need
I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chanceIt's the one, who won't be taken who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been to lonely and the road has been to longAnd you find that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter for 'neath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
There's no chill and yet I shiver
there's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
and yet I'm trembling.
There's no storm yet I hear thunder
and I'm breathless while I wander
weak one moment then the next I'm fine
I feel as if I'm falling every time I close my eyes
and flowing through my body is a river of surprise
feelings are awakeing I hardly recognize as mine.
What are all these new sensations
what's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand but I like the way I feel.
Oh, why is it that every time I close my eyes he's there
the water shining on his skin, the sunlught in his hair
and all the while I'm thinking things that I can never share with him.
I'm a bundle of confusion, yet it has a strange appeal
did it all begin with him and the way he makes me feel.
I like the way he makes me feel.
