1. _ Walk On
Oh ain't life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
When your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and
[Chorus]
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And don't you ever break your stride
[Chorus: x2]
Walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on

2. _ Cathy's Clown
[Chorus]
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's Clown
You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let em pass you by
You're not a man at all
She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let em call you Cathy's Clown
When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that I'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And I'm the one who cares
[Chorus]
You're Cathy's Clown
You're Cathy's Clown

3. _ Heart Won't Lie
Looking back over the years
Of All the things I've always meant to say
But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
[Chorus]
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
[Chorus]

4. _ How Blue
[Chorus]
How blue can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel
Oh honey why did you leave me
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
I swear to you that I'm dying
Cause my mind won't let my body rest
[Chorus]
If I sink any lower I'll go under
If I cry anymore I'll go blind
Oh there ain't no relief for this missing you grief
How long can you torture my mind
[Chorus]
How can I go on loving you when you're gone
How blue can I feel

5. _ Greatest Man I Never Knew
The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall,
and ev'ry day we said hello but never touched at all.
He was in his paper. I was in my room.
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon?
The greatest man I never knew came home late ev'ry night,
He never had to much to say. Too much was on his mind.
I never really knew him, oh and now it seems so sad.
Ev'rything he gave to us took all he had.
Then the days turned into years, and the mem'ries to black and white.
He grew cold like an old winter wind blowing across my life.
The greatest words I never heard I guess I'll never hear.
The man I thought could never die has been dead almost a year.
Oh, he was good at bus'ness but there was bus'ness left to do.
He never said he loved me. Guess he thought I knew.

6. _ Fancy
I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin
Dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standin' back from the lookin' glass
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she kissed my cheek
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
When she started to speak
She looked at a pitiful shack
And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick
And the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
"To thine own self be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
The toe of my high heel shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'
Askin' Mama what do I do
She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
And they'll be nice to you
She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out
Well it's up to you
Now don't let me down you better start movin' uptown
Well, that was the last time I saw my Ma
The night I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby
Mama died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
And for me there was no way out
And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly
What my Mama's been talkin' about
I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
That I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I don't know when or how
I couldn't see spending the rest of my life
With my head hung down in shame you know
I might have been born just plain white trash
But Fancy was my name
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
It wasn't very long after a benevolent man
Took me off the street
And one week later I was pourin' his tea
In a five room hotel suite
I charmed a king, a congressman
And an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me a Georgia mansion
In an elegant New York townhouse flat
And I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrite
That would call me bad
And criticize Mama for turning me out
No matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
For nigh on fifteen years
I can still hear the desperation in my poor
Mama's voice ringin' in my ear
She said, here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for what I do
But if you want out well it's up to you
Now don't let me down
Your Mama's gonna help you uptown
I guess she did

7. _ Rumor Has It
I overheard a conservation your name was mentioned in
But they didn't talk about us, only her again
I didn't want to listen but I hung on every word
They said some things I wish I hadn't heard
[Chorus]
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you
This town's so small a whisper can be heard a mile away
And people here will gossip when there's nothing else to say
I wouldn't have believed my ears but I see it in your eyes
The stories going 'round this town aren't lies
Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you
Whoa, rumor has it she has you

8. _ Sunday Kind of Love
I want a Sunday Kind of Love.
A love to last, past Saturday night.
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight.
I want a Sunday Kind of Love.
And I want a, a love that's on the square.
Can't seem to find somebody, someone to care.
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere.
I need a Sunday kind of love.
I do all my Sunday dreaming, and all my scheming.
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hoping to discover a certain kind of
Lover Who will show me the way.
And my arms need someone to impute.
To keep me warm when Monday's and Tuesday's grow cold.
And I need a love for all my life to have
And to hold.
I want a Sunday kind of love.
Oh yeah I don't want a
Monday or a Tuesday, Wednesday or a Thursday,
Friday or Saturday I don't want nothing baby.
I want a Sunday Kind of Love

9. _ Somebody Should Leave
It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I just read
[Chorus]
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids and they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again
You say goodnight and turn and face the wall
We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily
But what about those babies down the hall
[Chorus: x2]

11. _ New Fool at an Old Game
You sure know what you're doing holding me this way.
And I'll go where you lead me
Anywhere you say.
You've got me where you want me.
So darling please be kind.
Before you take it all, and I
make that final fall.
You've got to keep in mind I'm
a new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But I don't know the rules, teach me how to play.
I'm just a new fool at an old game.
Maybe I'm a dreamer, or maybe I'm naive.
But when you say you love me I start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds.
And this night will never end.
But if it isn't so, and I cry when you go.
You've got to understand that
I'm a new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But I don't know the rules, teach me how to play.
I'm just a new fool at an old game

12. _ You Lie
We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
We lie in the dark I know you're awake
The only sounds are the sounds this old house makes
But, oh how I long, I long to hear your voice
Desperate to talk, yearning to touch
Burning inside 'cause I want you so much
So I say I need you and leave you no choice
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie
How long until you just can't go on
And the urge to break loose is just too strong
You should let go that's what you want to do
Oh but you don't know, you don't know
If it's the right thing to do
You lie you don't want to hurt me
So you lie, buy a little time, and I go along
What else can I do, maybe it's wrong
But you know how much I love you
So you lie, 'til you can find a way to say goodbye
You lie

13. _ Is There Life out There
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more
[Chorus]
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there
She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
[Chorus]
There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again
[Chorus: x2]

14. _ Love Will Find Its Way to You
Another morning, another day in your life
Without someone there by you
You had a dream again last night
You wonder why the dream just won't come true
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Another party, and all your friends are smiles
Oh you might meet someone new
And being close would be so nice
In this life the chances are so few
So what ya gonna do
Walk around with your head hung down
Maybe that's the reason you've never found
The one for you
So you've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
And if you just believe
And say that's what you're gonna do
One day love will find it's way to you
Oh yes it will
One day love will find it's way to you
Don't you think you're the only one
Oh somewhere in the world
There's a lonely heart looking for someone
You've got to let your love shine through
Your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Your heart, you'll find
Somebody wants to be a part of your life
Cause your eyes, your smile
You've got to let somebody know how you feel inside
Somebody wants to be a part of your life

15. _ 'Til Love Comes Again
White light shadows gather around my door
They find me dreaming all alone once more
Memories come around to haunt my sleepless sounds
Now's the time I must be strong
I believe it won't be long
'Til love comes again
To end these lonely nights
'Til love comes again
To drive these tears I cry
It's darkest just before the dawn
And I'll just keep holding on
'Til then
'Til love comes again
Somewhere someone feels the way I do
And like me they dream of the love that's true
One day I'll look into his eyes I'll know the moment's right
Until then I'll just wait
No matter how long it might take
'Til love comes again
To end these lonely nights
'Til love comes again
To drive these tears I cry
It's darkest just before the dawn
And I'll just keep holding on
'Til then
'Til love comes again
Oh until then
'Til love comes again

16. _ For My Broken Heart
There were no angry words at all
As we carried boxes down the hall
One by one we put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say
One last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your tail-lights
As they faded in the dark
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
[Chorus]
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
Clocks still tickin', life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got
To stumble to the coffee pot
The first of many lonely mornings I've got to face
You call to see if I'm ok
Look out the window and I just say
[Chorus]
I guess the world ain't gonna stop
For my broken heart

17. _ Take It Back
You talked me into moving in and giving you my key
You said you'd be a mess now if it hadn't been for me
You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes
I wonder now how many times you sold that pack of lies
[Chorus]
If this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back
Take it back
You told me I was everything you wanted and more
Then tell me what you're doing now sneaking out the back door
You're bringing home flowers and a bottle of Chablis
You forgot I don't drink wine I know that bottle's not for me
[Chorus]
Oh, you must think I'm blind
And I don't smell your new cologne
You don't think I notice
All the nights I spend alone
Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool
You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool
I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through
At least they are with me cause babe, I got no use for you
Tonight laying on the street
Babe, your bag is packed
So, take it back
|
|
18. _ Last One to Know
I didn't see the fire burn to ashes.
I couldn't feel the winds of change.
I was lost inside the passion,
Blinded by the memory of a flame.
I guess I should've felt it when you touched me.
I should've seen it in your eyes.
But I believed you really loved me .
Why can't I believe you've said goodbye.
[Chorus]
Oh why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the
Last to let go.
Why is the one left behind
The one left alone with no one to hold.
It would be easier to face the morning,
If you were holding me tonight.
But you left me without a warning.
Holding onto a heartache while she's
Holding you tight.
[Chorus]
|

19. _ I Know How He Feels
When I heard that familiar voice,
My heart stopped dead in it's tracks.
Across the room I could see him there,
A ghost from my past.
But he's too caught up to notice me.
She must be his new love.
I never dreamed that it would hurt this much,
It's just
I know how he feels.
How warm his touch is.
Oh how he feels.
How soft his kiss is.
And it cuts right down to the bone
Cause I let him go.
I know how he cares.
How strong his love can be,
When he believes it's real.
Oh I've been there.
I know how he feels.
As long as I kept him out of site,
I kept from going out of my mind.
Tried to believe that leaving him was some how justified.
But tonight there's no denying what a love like his is worth
He once looked at me the way he's looking at her.
What a lucky girl.

20. _ Fallin' out of Love
He says he loves her, what can you say to that
He's made up his mind and there ain't nothin' you can do
And as you swallow hard, maybe you drive all night
Tryin' to figure out where the whole thing started goin' wrong
And in the silence something begins to unravel
You never knew him like you'll be knowing him now
[Chorus]
Fallin' out of love and back into your life
Pullin' your heart out from under the knife
Closin' the door on all those dreams you used to know
Fallin' out of love and back on your feet
Turnin' away from that dead end street
Finding out that nothing feels as good as letting go
That's when he called you up out of the blue one day
And you know he thinks he's talkin' to the girl you used to be
So when you tell him he's just a memory
Ain't it funny how his voice cracks when you're sayin' goodbye
And in the silence something begins to unravel
He never knew you like he'll be knowing you now
[Chorus]
Oh and nothing feels as good as letting go
He said he loved her
