Greatest Hits

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side


So now i come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what i say
So here i am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much i wanted you home


But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.


(chorus)

I've been thinking 'bout the times
You walked out on me
There were moments i'd believe, you were there
Do i miss you, or am i lying to my self again
I do these things...
(it's all because of you)
I keep holding on, but i'll try
(try not to think of you)
Love don't leave me lonely


I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else...i keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Oh...love's an empty face, i can't replace
(you don't need it)
People wonderin' why we broke apart
The great pretender here i go again
These things i do
(it's all because of you)
I'll keep holdin' but i'll try
(try not to think of you)
All i wanted was to hold you


I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, i keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Love's an empty face...oh i've got to replace


I'll be alright without you
There'll be someone else, i keep tellin' myself
I'll be alright without you
Oh...love's an empty place, i can still see your face
I'll be alright

You've been picked and it's over
What's the chip on your shoulder?
Out side were solid rainbows
Inside is where the heart grows
Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in


As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely


You've got some fascination
With you high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your past possession
Let down your defences
Won't be up to the one who cares


As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy


Hang on, ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely


(chorus twice)


Ask the lonely
When you're down in deep despair
When you're down in deep despair
Ask the lonely
Lonely

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere


A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on


Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night


Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on


(chorus)


Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again
If she could show him
The letter her heart forgot to send...why
They're livin' dreams on their own
Ooh they'll never stop running


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


And when he calls her
She tells him that she still cares
Under the moonlight,
He wonders why she can't be there...why
Why do they go on alone
When they're missin' each other


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


The girl can't help it, she needs more
He hasn't found what he's lookin' for
They're still standing in the rain
He can't help it, and she's just that way


There's a fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Don't you know she still cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
For you she cries
Ooh do you know she still cries for you
Fire
Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you
Ooh nothing stands between love and you

Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer


Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road


Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where i'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'


I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think i'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissing the day


(chorus)


Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where i'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you


Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides


Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know i still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways


Troubled times
Caught between confusions and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, vain, vain


If you must go, i wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care my love
Miss you love


(chorus twice)


I still love you girl
I really love you girl
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
No, no
