1. _ Days In Avalon
Written and arranged by richard marx
I'm nearing the end
Or the beginning
Whichever one finds me
And i'm counting the tears
And the blessings
That i'll leave behind me
I could not ask for more
You were the one thing worth livin' for
Chorus:
I will remember days in avalon
I will remember nights in your arms
I will remember days in avalon
And i will recall every moment
Of my days in the sun
As i embrace the twilight
The memories surround me
I would have been lost
Sure as the rain comes
If you hadn't found me
Each breath i breathe is for you
I never knew how to live 'til you taught me to
Chorus
I will run through the door
I'm not afraid anymore
And the light that i see is your eyes
Once again i'll be whole
I will live in your soul
Longer than the rest of our lives
Chorus

2. _ Boy Next Door
Written and arranged by richard marx
Born at the end of a minnesota freeze
Eldest child of willy and louise
His little sister died at the age of four
The family posed, led by louise
Like right out of some kind of rockwell scene
But jake couldn't fake it anymore
Chorus:
Nobody heard the hammer fallin'
Sensed that judgement day was callin'
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
Everybody loves to point their finger
They might as well have pulled the trigger
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
Willy later said he really should've known
The boy spent too much time on his own
And what was on his mind, god only knew
One by one the neighbors went away
A gruesome little game jake taught himself to play
His daddy always said, "find something to do"
Chorus
One less mistake to think about
Cause no one read the writing on the wall
So much for case 1239
Covered up, curled up in a ball
One little page in the history of crime
Lawyers made a fortune for their time
Seems an explanation was never found
And i hope this tale won't be misunderstood
Things ain't the same in every neighborhood
But before you go to sleep tonight
Look around

3. _ More Than A Mystery
Written and arranged by richard marx
Mesmerized since the day i saw you
Maybe somewhere i've misplaced my pride
In trying to prove i'm on your side
We're two of the many walking wounded
And all i want is to try to be the cure
So we'll never feel loneliness anymore
I wanna be declared your one and only
Hear you say that i'm your destiny
And i want you to be more than a mystery to me
Am i making you feel uneasy
Do you recognize the movie that we're in
Every game you swore you'd never play you win
Do you want to know the truth about you
Do you even hear the voices in your head
Can't you see i'm hanging there by a thread
I wanna feel your gentle arms around me
Wanna know the sweet taste of your kiss
Wanna hear you whisper
"baby, nothing's better than this"
I wanna be declared your one and only
Hear you say that i'm your destiny
And i want you to be more than a mystery to me
The more i reach out to you
The harder you are to find
How could i be so drawn to something so unkind
Do i make you feel uneasy
Am i saying any words you want to hear
Love isn't really love without fear
Chorus

4. _ One More Time
Nothing i must do
Nowhere i should be
No one in my life
To answer to, but me
No more candlelights
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies
Chorus:
If i could hold you one more time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you
Till i was blind
So you would stay
I'd say a prayer each time you sign
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only i
Could hold you one more time
Mmmmmm. . .
I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I dream of where you are

5. _ Shine
Written by richard marx
The tree you planted
Is still holding on
Leaves are turning
Like nothing's wrong
Oh, what freedom
To only need the rain
Been without since may, ninety-four
Tricks of the mind make it feel like it's more
But i'm not special
It's the same for everyone
Chorus:
Hold on, baby
I'm coming for you
I can hear your voice through the wine
Teach me how to turn the page
And show me how to shine
Times i wished i was already gone
Ain't no place i can't leave when i want
But then i see their faces
And i'm frozen in my shame
Chorus
Sometimes the sun shuts down the little i can see
And i remember what it felt like to be me
But all at once i know that nothing is the same
And all i'm left with is the pain
Chorus

6. _ Someone Special
Written and arranged by richard marx
I've lived life in a single room
Hiding my scars from the moon
I dream my dreams in the light
Rehearse the lines i already know
Basking in the tv's glow
And pray that tonight is the night
Ooh, there's gotta be more than this
A future hanging on a stranger's kiss
Could it be i'm not so alone
Chorus
I'm someone special
I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect
In everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow
But i still believe
There's someone special
Waiting out there for me
I guess the joke hasn't hit me yet
Cause i'm still waiting on my juliet
She must be held up somewhere
Ooh, she will be the air i breathe
She'll come for good and never want to leave
And i'll love her only, i swear
People say there must be something wrong
For me to be all alone so long
And their words hit me like a stone
Chorus
Lying in bed in a cold, cold sweat
Dreaming 'bout women i'll never get
I won't always be sleeping alone
Chorus

7. _ Power Of You And Me
Written and arranged by richard marx
Everybody's talking, the world is goin' round
Rumors are flying all over the town
How could a stranger know what's still a
Mystery to me
I don't know what to call it
I don't know what it is
I only know for certain i've never felt like this
And, baby, it's the one thing i can believe
There's nothing i fear in this life
Long as i've got you by my side
Chorus
We're mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything i've ever known
One look at us together anybody could see
There ain't nothin' that can stand up to
The power of you and me
We're only good together, no good on our own
Everything about you feels just like home
Before you i don't remember how i got along
You are the spark to my flame
The only one that burns in your name
Chorus
So many souls searching for
What we're holding right in our hands
You're the woman that makes me a better man

8. _ Waiting On Your Love
Music by richard marx
Lyrics by fee waybill
How long is it s'posed to take
Which song got the answer straight
I thought i sang 'em all
What face am i gonna make
Which leg to i have to break
To know i took the fall
It's like i'm standing on the edge of madness
Save me from crossing that line
Sure that i'll never come back
Chorus
With the dawn, life goes on
How long can i keep waiting on your love
Hold my breath, give me strength
How long can i keep holding on
How long can i keep waiting on your love
True love is a funny thing
Too much for a diamond ring
To guarantee applause
Too late when you have to guess
Which joke's taken as tenderness
Penny for your thoughts
Just like i'm hanging off the edge of madness
Stop me from falling so far
How can you let me let go
Chorus
I keep every moment frozen in time
And if they're all i get, i'll be cold the rest of my life
Chorus

9. _ The Edge Of Forever
(duet with chely wright)
Written by richard marx and chely wright
No one can decide
When lightning will strike
And everything falls into place
But lately it seems
When you're in my dreams
I find that i don't want to wake
I wanna slowly
Unlock the mystery
I wanna make love
I wanna make history
Chorus
With you
I see a lifetime with you
And if one thing is true
It's that god knew someday i'd be standing
On the edge of forever with you
I'm ready to fall
To give you my all
Cause you're everything i'll ever want
It's amazing to me
How far we can see
Our horizon goes on and on
I wanna slowly
Unlock the mystery
I wanna make love
I wanna make history
Chorus
And when i'm shivering
Your body will be my blanket
And then i'm drifting, baby
You'll be my anchor
Chorus

10. _ Too Early To Be Over
Music by richard marx
Lyrics by fee waybill
With another day another life slips away
And floats above the crowd
You can only stay ahead of time when time co-operates
Instead of heading south
Cards are dealt
You play what you hold
You can't tell me the story's been told
It's too early to be over
And it's way past when
It could be starting again
It's too early to be over
Good hearted joe is the last one to know
Run down run around biting my tongue
Hardly my sad tale
But the rolling in and steppin' out
Nothing but fun
I finally had to bail
Nothing worse than trying too hard
This ain't this fool's first walk in the park
It's too early to be over
I don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin
It's too early to be over
Good hearted joe is the last one to know
Somewhere out there it all evens out
So they would have you believe
But that don't get me
That won't set me free
It's too early to be over
And it's way past when it could be starting over
It's too early to be over
Always the fave but i already gave
It's too early to be over
Don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin
It's too early to be over
Good hearted joe is the last one to know

11. _ Almost Everything
Music by richard marx and bruce gaitsch
Lyrics by richard marx
I'm waiting for some kind of healing to begin
And i wonder if you know the kind of pain i'm in
It's hard wondering just what it is you see
There hasn't been a moment you've been off my mind
I've searched through every meditation i can find
As if something could bring you back to me
Do i go on in silence
Or shout at the sky
Give me all the earthly treasures
That a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers
That turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say that i've won
The world on a string
And then i will have almost everything
I imagine you until i swear i feel your touch
And i read the words you wrote me when it gets too much
The one piece of solace i can steal
I still need you in my life
Like never before
Give me all the earthly treasures
That a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers
That turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say i have won
The world on a string
And then i will have almost everything
I still need you in my life
More than ever before
Give me all the earthly treasures
That a single man can hold
Put the magic in my fingers
That turns everything to gold
Hand me the sun, say i have won
The world on a string
And then i will have almost everything

12. _ Straight From The Heart
Written and arranged by richard marx
The sun's still warm and most days are good
The world still turns like you said it would
But this pain seems to never let me go
And there is really no movin' on
There's only going along
And i will always be
Better for you loving me
Better for the times we shared
That travel with me everywhere
And i will always try
To hold my head up to the sky
If only just to let you know
That straight from my heart
I still miss you so
If i could i would gladly trade
A thousand tomorrows for one yesterday
There are so many things that i would say
You're a part of every memory
That lives on in me
Chorus
