Shine On Me
(Waara / Perron / Moore) 3:17

I believe in the sun
It’s like you, so warm and fun
If I’m feelin’ the blues
It’s alright when I think of you
I’m the luckiest guy
I’m in love and I’ll tell you why
Cause you shine, shine on me.

Breeze is blowin’ in time
Ain’t no mystery, it’s a sign
Freely walkin’ on air
I’m a mess, but I don’t care
Not a minute too soon
I’m in step and I’m in tune
Cause you shine, shine on me
Cause you shine, shine on me.

I won’t hide or leave your side
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I won’t stray from day to day
What we have, is so rare.
I’ll confide, I’ll keep your side
I’ll be fair, cause you care
I won’t stray, you make my day
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

I won’t hide or leave your side
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I won’t stray from day to day

I won’t stray, you make my day
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

Cause you shine, shine on me.
Cause you shine, shine on me

Cause you shine, shine on me

Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me…

We Need Love To Win
(Waara / Mastrangelo / Moore) 3:06

It is time
We have to grow
We gotta get back, get ourselves on track
It’s all gonna be alright
But we have to grow.

Now is the time to turn this world around
Lift up our heads and get our feet on the ground.

It’s what we say
It’s what we do, that builds a bridge,
‘Tween me and you
We gotta learn, we gotta grow
That’s what we all must do, you know
Some of us pray, some of us shout, let’s keep our cool
Let’s work it out
Be part of what is happenin’
You know it, we need love to win.

So here we are
Hey let’s all go
We gotta help each other
We can make it work
But we have to grow.

Now is the time to turn this world around
A few kind words is an encouraging sound.
It’s what we say
It’s how we live, let’s all reach out and learn to give
Hey, be a spark, go light the flame
Get on the team, get in the game
It’s how we try, it’s how we play, that carries us
From day to day
Be part of what is happenin’
Just say it, we need love to win.

Now’s the time, we can’t lose sight
We’ve got the stuff, we’ll make it right
Let’s make a diff’rence, let’s all start
Let’s all put lovin’ in our hearts.

So here we are
Hey let’s all go
We gotta help each other
We can make it work
But we have to grow.

Now is the time to turn this world around
From far and near let’s make a beautiful sound.

It’s what we say
It’s how we live, let’s all reach out and learn to give
Let’s get it right, let’s try to win
We just can’t fail, it’d be a sin
It’s how we try, it’s how we play, that carries us
From day to day

Be part of what is happenin’
C’mon now, we need love to win
We need love to win
We need love to win.

Kathleen
(Waara / Perron / Moore) 4:59

You’ve a face so enchanting
You send me to the moon
It’s so intoxicating
I’m crazy over you…

There’s nothing more I’d rather do
Than spend my life alone with you
Kathleen, Kathleen.

If I had super powers
I’d catch a falling star
I’d shape it like a flower
For you, with all my heart…

There’s nothing more I’d rather do
Than spend my life alone with you
Kathleen, Kathleen.

Funny, but I can’t describe this feelin’
I’m taken by your look, I’m mesmerized
You’ve a certain flair, it’s so appealin’
Without a doubt, I’d love to be your guy.

If rainbows were my pleasure
I’d give away the gold
Cause you’re the only treasure
That I just wanna hold…

There’s nothing more I’d rather do
Than spend my life alone with you
Kathleen,
Kathleen,
Kathleen,
Kathleen.

The Third Time
(Grashey) 2:49

The first time we were kids at play
Neighbours that went separate ways
We were much too young to think of love.

The next time we met just by chance
Shared some thoughts but no romance
We were much too rushed to think of love.

Now here it is the third time and the right time
In a place where love and time go hand in hand
For all our misadventures are behind us
And we’ve come to learn and love and understand.

The third time we were ready for
The love that we were waiting for
Yes the third time was the right time for our love.

Now here it is the third time and the right time
In a place where love and time go hand in hand
For all our misadventures are behind us
And we’ve come to learn and love and understand.

The third time we were ready for
The love that we were waiting for
The third time was the right time for our love
Yes the third time was the right time for our love.

The Beginning Of The End
(Grashey / Baker / D. Vonau / S. Vonau) 2:50

I can see in your eyes a story
A story that’s been told so many times
The actors change, the plays the same, it’s just a rerun
But this time, the leading role is yours and mine.

And it’s just the beginning of the end
The final curtain rises once again
As we go through the motions of pretend
The will is gone, the show goes on
The beginning of the end.

In your arms I can feel a coldness
And we’ve come to the last and final scene
Unwilling hearts will play the part until it’s over
The stage is set, we must forget what might have been.

And it’s just the beginning of the end
The final curtain rises once again
As we go through the motions of pretend
The will is gone, the show goes on
The beginning of the end
And it’s just the beginning of the end.

A Dreamer And A Fool
(Grashey) 3:05

A dreamer and a fool am I to want you so
For there’s an end to where a dream can reach
And where a fool can go
A dreamer and a fool am I to think you’d care
For I am but a clinging weed
Beside a rose so fair.

Your beauty makes the violets hang their heads in shame
A greater prize than you no man could ever claim
A dreamer and a fool am I to long for you
But darlin’ you and you alone
Can make my dreams come true.

Your beauty makes the violets hang their heads in shame

I'd Go Back In Time
(Waara / Mastrangelo / Moore) 3:58

In nineteen sixty-four
The times were changin’ and so much more
The lads from Liverpool
Played the magic, they were so cool.

I made a little band
Met lot of folk, throughout the land
Thought I could write a hit
Thought I’d be big, thought I’d be it.

Life is a funny thing
Not knowing what the future brings
And yearnin’ for the past
Might be nice, but it won’t last.

Take me back to those happy days
Learnin’ lessons along the way
Sittin’ pretty and standin’ tall
I guess I had it all.

Lookin’ back at where I’ve been
The places and faces, that I have seen
There wasn’t a hill I couldn’t climb
Lord if I could, I’d go back in time.

Dear brother took my hand
He showed me how to be a man
And Father was the one
Who gave me heart, made me his son.

Take me back to those happy days
Learnin’ lessons along the way
Sittin’ pretty and standin’ tall
I guess I had it all.

Lookin’ back at where I’ve been
The places and faces, that I have seen
There wasn’t a hill I couldn’t climb
Lord if I could, I’d go back in time.

Lookin’ back at where I’ve been
The places and faces, that I have seen
There wasn’t a hill I couldn’t climb
Lord if I could, I’d go back in time,

Lord if I could, I’d go back in time.

When The Time Comes
(Waara / Moore) 3:47

Sometime, life ain’t an easy road
We’re laden, with a heavy load
But if you look up, there’s reassuring light
Just give it time, soon it’ll be alright.
When life’s temptations, eat away at you
You’re falling downward, you’re bluer than blue
Instead of worry, have yourself a cry
Then look up and believe in the brilliant sky.

When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Father I am Yours
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Lord how We will soar
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.

When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Father I am Yours
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Lord how We will soar
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.

It sure ain’t easy, losing a best friend
Some of us give up, and wait for the end
The will to go on, just gets to be too much
‘Til deep down within comes a comforting touch.
Now I’ve had dreams of, just what it will be like
When we pass over, to the other side
But I know one thing, it’s for eternity
It’s life everlasting, it’s what is to be.

When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Father I am Yours
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
When the time comes, Lord how We will soar
When the time comes, I’ll be ready Lord
To meet You on the other side of life.

To meet You on the other side of life,
To meet You on the greater side of life!

I Played The Game
(Waara / Perron / Moore) 3:37

Well I have to leave
Don’t grab at my sleeve
This dealing with rejection
Love’s more than an injection
The truth and the tears interweave.

I guess I was wrong
I’ll just say so long
I’m watching all the sadness
Creeping up on the gladness
There’s more to my life than a song.

I played the game
But it’s all the same
Cause no one came
Til the fans roar
For the big score
I will never see you again.

It’s all about time
And learning to rhyme
The music keeps on flowing
My friends leave without knowing
The bhang gets me higher than wine.

Will life one day bring
Sweet children who sing
I can’t wait too much longer
The need is getting stronger
I’m sharp as the edge on a ring.

I played the game
But it’s all the same
Cause no one came
Til the fans roar
For the big score
I will never see you again.

Til the fans roar

I will never see you again

Your Love
(Grashey) 2:41

I had built a kingdom with your love
Placed you on a throne for all to see
And I was rich beyond imagination
For I had you and you loved only me.

I had built a mansion with your love
Filled each room with every lovely thing
Asked your friends to come
and see my treasure
And why your finger wore
my diamond ring.

Then one night a thief stole in and robbed me
He took everything I owned yes even you
And I was left a beggar broken hearted
For I was rich because your love was true.

I had done such wonders with your love
Displayed them so the whole wide world could see
And for a while my world was like a heaven
Til a thief walked in and stole your love from me
Til a thief walked in and stole your love from me.

She Touched Me Where
It Hurt The Most
(Grashey / Baker) 2:31

She touched me where it hurt the most
And made me well again
With fingertips of love erased each ache
She soothed the pain with tenderness
And helped me to survive
When I just didn’t know how much more I could take.

She was the guiding light that led me safely homeward
When I was lost and troubled and alone.

She touched me where it hurt the most
And made me well again
Now I have love that’s real to call my own.

Cool Kisses
(Waara / Moore / Perron / Niemi / Liima) 3:46

I get high when I am by my baby
I’m so hot, I don’t mean maybe
Her honey lips, so full and sweet
Oh what a thrill, a real treat
Cool kisses.

I can’t really tell ya what I’m feelin’
Only that my knees just start to reelin’
Her sugar lips, so full and sweet
Oh what a thrill, a real treat
Cool kisses.

I’ve had many lovely ladies, I’ve had many nights
I could tell a tale or two or three
But one who’d melt me with her kisses much to my delight
Made it clear that she’s the girl for me.

I’m a lucky guy, just love a good time
One day, maybe, baby, will be all mine
Her honey lips, so full and sweet
Oh what a thrill, a real treat
Cool kisses.

Will You Marry Me ?
(Waara / Moore / Perron / Niemi / Liima) 4:25

I’ve been on my own for years
Never thought I’d settle down
Had some laughs and cried some tears
Used to really paint the town.
Then she came, this perfect girl
Fell in love right at the start
Gotta have her in my world
So I ask with all my heart.

Will you marry me?
Will you be my wife?

You’re the one of my dreams
You’re the once in my life.
Let me take your hand
Let me fill your need
Please let me be your man
Will you marry me?

Then one night saw a fallin’ star
Made a wish I’d find a way
So with lovin’ in my heart
I’ve some words I’d like to say.

Will you marry me?
Will you be my wife?
You’re the one of my dreams
You’re the once in my life.
Let me take your hand
Let me fill your need
Please let me be your man
Will you marry me?

Please let me be your man
Will you marry me?

I Can't Waste Another Moment
(Grashey / Palmer) 3:19

Wasted, that’s how I’m feelin’ deep inside
Fillin’ me with thoughts I can’t describe
I could feel the hurt begin
When you were in his arms last night
I can’t waste another moment of my life.

Teardrops, just keep flowin’ from my eyes
Leavin’ me with thoughts I just can’t hide
No use makin’ up with lies
Choose another’s arms tonight
I can’t waste another moment of my life.

No more lovin’ you, no more holdin’ you
I’ll miss your lovin’ arms around me in the night
I’ll still crave the love we knew
But time will heal that too
I can’t waste another moment of my life.

No more lovin’ you, no more holdin’ you

My Baby's Gone
(Houser) 2:24

Hold back the rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still
Don’t let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry off the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby’s gone.

I wake up almost every night and realize you’re gone
I toss and turn and stare at darkness
Waiting for the dawn
I try to tell my lonely heart we’ll make it all alone
But it’s twice the world has ended, my baby’s gone.

Hold back the rushing minutes
Make the wind lie still
Don’t let the moonlight shine
Across the lonely hill
Dry off the raindrops
Hold back the sun
My world has ended
My baby’s gone
Don’t they know my world has ended
My baby’s gone.

In The Autumn Of My Life
(Grashey) 3:01

In the autumn of my life she came my way
And made the winter nights both warm and bright
She spread her love like a blanket over me
And at long last I felt this love was right.

She was young and looking for some meaning
I was older looking for my youth
And for a while we both thought we had heaven
But soon the champagne turned to cheap vermouth.

In the autumn of my life I watched her leave
And then the winter nights turned icy cold
And I knew then I’d never love again
But I would have those memories to hold.

Can take me by the hand

Can love this man
Can love this man

Help me, I've been there before
I've never really tried
I can't say, there ain't no more
Reasons why I lied.

Only you girl
Can take me by the hand
I'll be a better man
Only you girl
Can love this man
Can love this man
Can love this man.

Someday, somehow
You know my world will change
Please help me now
Release me from this pain.

Find me, you can bring it home
With you I can endure
Take me, I can't live alone
Our future is assured.

Only you girl
Can take me by the hand
I'll be a better man
Only you girl
Can love this man
Can love this man
Can love this man
Can love this man.

It Hurts Me
It hurts me to see him treat you
The way that he does
It hurts me to see you sit and cry
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes.

The whole town is talking
They're calling you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry.

You love him so much
You're too blind to see
He's only playing a game
He's never loved you
He never will
Oh darlin' don't you know
He'll never change.

-
I know that he never will set you free
Because he's just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him you're through
I'll be waiting for you
Waiting, to hold you so tight
Waiting, to kiss you goodnight
Yes darlin', if I had someone like you

Almost Touch The Sky
Although he only stayed a while
His songs, they truly drew a smile
And through his music
We could fly and
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky.

He showed us how to laugh and sing
And trust in what the future brings
And through his music
We could fly and
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky.

Heard the news
No goodbyes
Tell me why
Tell me why.

Sometimes when I'm looking up into the stars
I see my friend John and his guitar
His songs we sing
This world can win
His message rings
Give peace a chance.

Although he only stayed a while
No one could match his winning style
And through his music
We could fly and
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky
Almost touch the sky.
