Start my day Don’t matter they’re all the same At a diner south of town Serving strangers, so mundane But there’s gotta be Something better in life for me Just a sea of passerbys Till I find the perfect guy Only took one look Stars aligned and I was hooked 2 lost souls, 3 steps away 4-ever destined, come what may Start my day in this worn out hall of fame I pick-up my paper and a tea It’s the only thing that can keep me sane But there’s gotta be Something more in life for me I’m just a tycoon sitting pretty Alone in New York City Only took one look Stars aligned and I was hooked 2 lost souls, 3 steps away 4-ever destined, come what may To my surprise I’ve looked into your lovely eyes A dozen times Standing right in front of me The story ends Perfect lovers, but barely friends So let’s not stick around We’ll leave this God forsaken town Only took one look Stars aligned and we were hooked 2 lost souls, 3 steps away 4-ever destined, come what may Only took one look Stars aligned and we were hooked 2 lost souls, 3 steps away 4-ever destined, come what may

It’s just something ‘bout her gaze That starts my heart to race When I’m sitting all alone at night And thinking ‘bout her Eyes twinkle on her face Like stars in outer space But I’m looking back in time right now And that’s the part that gets me So I got her picture It’s not enough, I want to be there She’s so far away from me When I close my eyes I dream of you at night You and I will be together One day, maybe someday You’ll be mine It’s just something ‘bout his smile It just stops me for a while When I’m on my way to work each day Daydreaming ‘bout him Lips so soft it’s hard Thinking 'bout the past Hand in hand that day we kissed How I prayed that it would last Now I got his email It’s not enough, I want to touch him He’s so far away from me When I close my eyes I dream of you at night You and I will be together One day, maybe someday You’ll be mine There’s just something ‘bout you girl That makes me wanna yell I can’t breathe without you, without you in my world My day, my night, we speak Like lovebirds exchange a tweet But we’re not face to face right now And that’s the part that gets me So I got your cell phone It’s not enough I want to be there You’re so far away from me When I close my eyes I dream of you at night You and I will be together One day, maybe someday When I close my eyes I dream of you at night You and I will be together One day, maybe someday You’ll be mine

Your Guide 02:48
Time is of the essence So it’s told in a tale A romance made of magic For a boy and a girl All the things beautiful Reside in the warmth of a smile, a smile Walks on the pier In the summertime breeze Wind in our hair As we watch autumn leaves Sit by the fire as winter Storms by in a flash, a flash There’ll be roses That wilt in the fall When you’re lonesome I’ll be there when you call There are mountains to climb With you by my side Let me be your guide, tonight Nothing like the touch Of your hand when I’m scared A kiss on my cheek From your lips when I’m sad If fishes were wishes I’d bathe in the sea of your love, your love Let’s hold on forever Till death do us part Bottle our soul Preserve them deep in our heart Eternity’s just an old friend Here’s a toast to our life, our life There’ll be heartaches To heal if you fall When you’re lonesome I’ll be there when you call There are mountains to climb With you by my side Let me be your guide There’ll be roses That wilt in the fall When you’re lonesome I’ll be there when you call There are mountains to climb With you by my side Let me be your guide, tonight

Baby, Wherever you are tonight I’m sending this lullaby In hope it reaches to your heart Crazy, crazy Time is boundless and cruel Like that it changes everything And spins you like a fool It was only briefly, Now I must let go Love rushed in Then pushed us out Two drifters lost at sea Laden by the moonlit night A sailor’s tragedy It was only briefly, Now I mourn for you
5.
There’s something about you That makes my heart beat Whenever you’re near me Feels like I’m floating high above the street Starlight, beaming through my window Flowing softly through me Until it leads you back down to me But is it me you’re destined for? You are the one that I want (Am I the one you want?) You are the one that I need (The one that you need) There’s just something about you, baby That makes my whole world feel complete Falling, can’t shake this feeling I’ll never stop believing, no That one day I could wake beside you So tell me this, can it be fate or could it be bliss I want the world to know, girl I’m never letting go While I’m standing by your side But is it me you’re destined for? You are the one that I want (Am I the one you want?) You are the one that I need (The one that you need) There’s just something about you, baby That makes my whole world so complete

Fading 02:53
Bound to the night Endless days taunt me I shy from the light Surrendering to you Enticing… In only my dreams do you appear Reaching for me Upon open eyes you disappear Fading… Caught in a web Languishing till you Unravel me But what is love without pain? You live in my dreams Till I sleep again My wants Your needs come before Don’t wake me In only my dreams do you appear Reaching for me Upon open eyes you disappear Fading…
