1. BELIEVE IN YOU
(marshall/bazilian)


Somewhere there's a river / Looking for a stream / Somewhere there's a dreamer / Looking for a dream / Somewhere there's a drifter / Trying to find his way / Somewhere someone's waiting / To hear somebody say

CHORUS
I believe in you / I can't even count the ways that / I believe in you / And all I want to do is help you to / Believe in you

Somewhere there's an angel / Trying to earn his wings / Somewhere there's a silent voice / Learning how to sing / Some of us can't move ahead / We're paralyzed with fear / And everybody's listening / 'Cause we all need to hear

CHORUS

I will hold you up / I will help you stand /
I will comfort you when you need a friend /
I will be the voice that's calling out

I believe in you / I can't even count the ways that / I believe in you / And all I want to do is show you / I believe in you / And there are just so many ways that / I believe in you / Baby, what else can I do but believe in you - believe in you / All I want to know is you believe - believe in you



2. LOVE LIFT ME
(marshall/bazilian/cantor/bettis)


Somebody told me / Once in a lifetime / Destiny finds you and blows you away / Spins you in circles / Pulls you in pieces / Bleeds you like Jesus / And goes on its way / But it's oh so simple sometimes / Just to lay your heart open wide / If you wanna get to heaven / Then you gotta take the ride

CHORUS
Love lift me / Wherever you are /Convince me / I'm safe in your arms / Love lift me / Make sense of it all / Teach me to fly / And don't let me fall

Somebody told me / Love makes you stupid / Makes you go crazy / Makes you go blind / Comes uninvited / And leaves when it wants to / Calls you at midnight and ties up your line / But it's oh so sweet when it's right (there's nothin' better) / And you swear you won't but you might (you're gonna try) / Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light

CHORUS

And when it's all said and done / It's just the same for everyone / You're busy making your plans / Love's like a bird baby / Flying out of your hands

And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin') / And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try) / Better batten down the hatches baby / Here we go again

Love lift me / Wherever you are / Convince me / I'm safe in your arms / Love lift me / I'm waiting on you / 'Cause nothing can lift me / The way that you do / Love lift me / Love lift me / Love lift me (only love can take me higher) / I wanna fly



3. WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
(marshall/bazilian/child)


Why am I lonely / You're sitting right here / Why am I talking / It's like I'm talking to the
air / What am I looking for / That just isn't there / Why am I angry / How'd it get so bad / And why am I missing / What we never really had

CHORUS
Why don't you love me / The way I love you / Why don't you feel things / As deep as I do / We've got a fundamental difference / In matters of emotion / But I need to feel you need me / Like a river needs an ocean / Baby why don't you love me

Who am I kidding / It wasn't meant to be / But you wanted a believer / And I needed to believe / For every wall you built around you / I learned a brand new way to climb / And if I could've been your angel / I would've found a way to fly

CHORUS

SOLO

I don't understand you / What's it take to make you cry / And if leaving you don't break you / Then baby what's it matter why

CHORUS



4. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
(marshall/bazilian)


Tuesday night - 7:30 / I hear a voice on the telephone / Doin' fine - then it hits me /The voice that I am hearing means you're not alone / I thought it would be easy but it's not / And now I would give all that I've got

CHORUS
But it's too little too late / No going back to the start / You only lose when you hesitate / And now that I would give you my heart / It's too little too late

Two more weeks - I start to wonder / If what I'm missing's really worth these tears / What's the point - you've found another / And I just keep on talking but you just can't hear / You swore you'd wait forever and a day / I never thought I'd live to hear you say

CHORUS

So mad about me / You couldn't live without me / Now you say you're moving on / I took the long way / I told you maybe someday / I guess I made you wait too long

SOLO

I know I've only got myself to blame / And I've still got my pride but just the same

It's just too little too late / No going back to the start / You only lose when you hesitate / And now I wanna give you my heart / And now you tell me

That it's too little too late / No going
back to the start / You only lose when
you hesitate / And now that I would give you my heart / It's too little too late / It's
too little / Too late



5. IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU
(marshall/bazilian)


I don't know what I was thinking / 'Til I was thinking of you / I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes / And you came
into view / I don't know what I was doing / When there was nothing to do / Must've been waiting for someone, baby / Now I can see - I was waiting for you

CHORUS
I'd give up my sight just to see you / I'd beg, I would borrow and steal / I'd cut off my hands just to touch you / And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel / There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow / There's nothing that I wouldn't do / 'Cause I
wouldn't wanna be me / If I didn't have you

Driving myself to distraction / Until you got in my way / I was just whistling Dixie 'til you struck up the band / And they started to play / I don't know how I was living / Until you came in my life / I always knew there was something wrong / Then you came along / Baby, you made it right

CHORUS

I was alone in the silence / 'Til I was hearing your voice / I couldn't see my way clear until you parted the clouds / And you gave me a choice / I couldn't pick up the pieces / 'Til I was falling apart / I didn't know I was bleeding / 'Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart

I'd give up my sight just to see you / I'd beg, I would borrow and steal / I'd cut off my hands just to touch you / And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel / There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow / There's no place that I'd rather be / This life without you would be hollow / This love is a gift, and you gave it to me / All that I am, you have made me / And baby, I know that it's true / I'd give it all up in a heartbeat / Just to spend every moment with you / There's no place that I wouldn't follow / There's nothing that I wouldn't do / 'Cause I
wouldn't wanna be me / If I didn't have you



6. RIDE
(marshall/bazilian/child)


If you need some transportation / From a world of tribulation / Tell me your destina-tion / I'll be - I'll be your ride / If you're out of inspiration / All you feel is desperation / Consider this an invitation / I'll be

CHORUS
I'll be you ride / We'll get a running start and we'll take to the sky baby / Ride /
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the prize / And ride

And when the world that you've created / Has got you feeling tired and jaded / Get your spirits elevated / Dig down - way deep inside / And when you're feeling scorned and hated / Under appreciated / And your guiding light has faded / I'll be

CHORUS

SOLO

And when you call but they don't remember / When your mail says return to sender / Keep the faith baby don't surrender / I'm on your side / I'll be your - I'll be your / I'll be

CHORUS



7. RIGHT HERE ALL ALONG
(marshall/king)


Shadow boxing in my head again / Lying here beside you in the dark / Making mountains out of nothin' / Hoping against hope / And making deals with God

Then I feel you stir beside me / And you don't say a word / But still I know

And in your eyes I see the reason / In your smile I see the road that takes me home /In my heart I know the answer / That all the things I looked so hard to find / Were right here all along - right here all along

Sometimes life can make you tired /
You get so used to being on your own /
Looking for something to count on (Something to count on baby) / Wishing for a love that's carved in stone / But I can hear you through my worry / Your voice is telling me ³let go²

CHORUS
When I needed someone to count on / You were right here all along / When I needed someone to lean on / You were right here all along / And when I needed a hand to hold / You were right here all along / And when I thought I had nobody baby / You were right here all along

CHORUS X2

I needed a hand to hold / Needed shelter from the cold / I needed a hand to hold / You give me shelter from the cold baby yeah / Oh yeah, yeah / Just when I thought I had nobody baby / You were right here all along / And when I thought I had nobody, babe / You were right here all along



8. WISHFUL THINKING
(sharp/cantor)


I will wait for you / Like I promised I would do / Although it brings me pain / And you always knew / What to say to lead me to / Believe it's not in vain / I was safe and secure / When you were with me / But it only could last / 'Til the day that she / Took you back again

CHORUS
So I get by / On wishful thinking / That when you come home / You'll want to stay / Give me your hand / Save me from sinking / Another day / Of wishful thinking

Sometimes it's lonely / And faith don't come easy / And dreams begin to fade / Then you reassure me / How good it's gonna be / When you come back someday / You said you'd be back / After you said goodbye / I have to believe / That it wasn't a lie / And you'll be here again

CHORUS

I was safe and secure / When you were with me / But it only could last / 'Til the day that she / Took you back again

CHORUS

Another day of wishful thinking / Give me your hand / Save me from sinking



9. SHADES OF GREY
(marshall/bazilian)


I was an August baby / Conceived by the Christmas lights / I came into the world by the setting sun / On a humid summer night / When my grandmother held me for the very first time / She thanked God I looked like my daddy / And I never quite knew just
what she meant / But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy / And now I see

CHORUS
You can't change a stubborn mind / You can't see the world if your eyes are blind / What does it matter anyway / In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey

They got married in a tiny chapel / 1965 / Malcolm X was on the radio / When he took her as his wife / And she looked so pretty that September day / And her older brother cried as he gave her away / And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say / And then he spoke

CHORUS

SOLO

And when my grandmother held me / For the very first time / She thanked God I looked like my daddy / And I never gave a damn just what she meant / But I knew she was a little too happy /And now I see

You can't change a stubborn mind /
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind / What does it matter anyway / In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey /
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of

Darkest hour we're all just / Shades of grey - Hey, Hey, Hey / It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn / Don't give a damn / Don't give a damn what they say / We're all just shades of grey / We're all just shades of grey / Shades of grey



10. GIVE UP GIVING IN
(marshall/bazilian)


I always think about you / I always will /I always wonder what might've been /If we could get time to just stand still /Oh well /It was the right train / But I guess we must've been off track / And I've been waiting for so long / But now I know you're never coming back

CHORUS
So I'll give up giving in / Quit playing this game I can't win / I wish I could stop /
But I don't know where to begin

I wonder how you slipped away / I wonder why / I always wonder if there's a chance / That maybe you know what this is like / It's like a bloodstain / And it's spreading across my chest / And I've been bleeding for so long / I think this heart of mine deserves a rest

CHORUS

And now the wolf is at my door / And it's never gonna be like it was before / And I have cried 'til I'm insane / Now my head is getting cloudy / It's shrouded in this pain

And so I'll give up giving in / Quit playing this game I can't win / I wish I could stop / But I don't know how / To give up giving in / Quit playing this game I can't win / I wish
I could stop / But I don't know how / To begin / Gotta give up / It's never gonna be / Like it was before / The wolf is at my door / Gotta give up



11. BEST OF ME
(marshall/bazilian)


Drop those flowers - back away slowly /
You jumped in thinking this was holy water / Well surprise surprise / This is not a test / Welcome to the party / I've been on my best behaviour but I think it's time / You saw the other side

CHORUS
I'm a tough tough game that no one can master / I'm a tall tall tale no one believes / I'm a long dark night with no morning after / Lucky you / You get the best of me

Brand new day - honeymoon's over /
Peace and quiet puts me in a coma anyway / It's just a waste of time / This is not a dream / Do you get the picture / I know I may seem peculiar / Baby gimme time / 'Cause when I hit my stride

CHORUS

SOLO

CHORUS

I'm a tough tough game that no one can master / I'm a tall tall tale no one believes / I'm a long dark night with no morning after / I'm a thundercloud when you're out at sea / And if you try to run / Baby I can run faster / Lucky you / You get the best of me



12. NEVER SAID GOODBYE
(marshall/bazilian)


I got a friend / He lives down in old Albuquerque / We used to watch the sun coming up together / But he was hungry then / And he got restless / I heard he took a wife / I think her name is Heather

CHORUS

All of a sudden I'm driving in the rain /
With the Santa Fe horizon / Calling out my name / Should've done it sooner / Now I know it's time / 'Cause we said a lot of things baby / But we never said goodbye

We were a team / We were the best of friends / We had a world where no one else could find us / The summer passed / September came too soon / And suddenly that world was all behind us

CHORUS 2

Driving through the desert / With nothing on my mind / But the thought of catching up / With a ghost I left behind / Don't know what I'll do / But I know I've got to try / 'Cause we said a lot of things baby / But we never said goodbye

I drove 1000 miles / Chasing a memory /
But all the pieces of what used to be have scattered / And all the little things / That used to mean so much / I look around me now and see that they don't matter

CHORUS 3

All of a sudden I'm driving home again /
'Cause sometimes goodbye is better left unsaid / The Santa Fe horizon will know the reason why / I said a lot of things to you /
But I never said goodbye



13. OUT OF BOUNDS
(marshall/frederiksen)


Standing on the edge of time / Playing out a reckless pantomime / And every day's anoth-er wrong to rectify / I dream about a stranger's touch / And voices in my head I cannot hush / And every night's a hunger I can't satisfy

CHORUS
It's the secret that I keep / It's the ache that makes me weep / And I know I'm in too deep / I'm gonna drown / It's the emptiness I fear / Baby, please don't leave me here / 'Cause I'm lost inside a dream / That's out of bounds

I close my eyes and it's so real / And all at once I know just what I feel / And baby it's the kind of rush that terrifies / I am weak - I am wrong / And every day I swear that I'll be strong / But there's a bond between us that I can't deny

CHORUS

I wanna surrender / I wanna give in /
I wanna lay down and let it be now /
And let it begin / Let it begin

It's the secret that I keep / It's the ache that makes me weep / And I know I'm in too deep / I'm gonna drown / It's the emptiness I fear / Baby, please don't leave me here / 'Cause I'm lost inside a dream / That's out of bounds
