Lyrics to Long Distance Love Affair :
Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you

Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen
Listening for the telephone

[Chorus:]
Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And there's only one thing
That's gonna satsify me
And you can't send it through the mail

[Chorus x3]

I'D RATHER BELIVE IN YOU
WRITERS THOM McHUGH, BRUCE MILLER

I should go out tonight
And get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
A little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

Look what you've gone and done
You've ruined it for anyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I can't get you off my mind
I've told myself a million times
A little time is all it takes

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

I gave you everything that I had to give
I don't know if I can go that far again

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

Oh, once you've loved somebody
Oh, like I've loved you

YOU DON'T LOVE ME
Writer T. Raye

Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Yes I know
Uh-uh-uh
You don't love me
Yes I know

Well you left me pretty baby
And I had no place to go
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
If you say you love me baby
I'll get on my knees and pray

Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Yes I know

It was Friday night
And both of us were lonely
We seemed to meet as lonely people do
I filled that empty space till Monday morning
I never meant ton fall in love with you
Came right out and told me
About your wife back home in Houston
You were just in town on business
You never tried to lead me on
Time had seemed just fine
Simply love you for the moment
Heaven help me time ran out
Now the moment's gone

[Chorus:]
Silver wings and golden rings
Are taking you today
And I'll be dying on the ground
While you are flying away
Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone

You made me feel like
I was something special
The way no other man ever done
And I knew last night
Would have to last forever
It's just no way of holding back the sun
And now I guess it's time for me
To drive you to the airport
Hold back all my tears
Tell you it's been nice
If you come back to town again
Know I love to see you
Remember I'm not strong enough
To let go of you twice

FLASHBACK
WRITERS JENNIFER HANSON, JIM PATTON-JOHNSON

You were born between a rock and a hard place
To a couple of losers
I lived on the other side of your duplex
I heard you getting those bruises
I never would've wanted to walk in your shoes
It scared me to death, I was a kid too
Sometimes I think about you
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
Did you follow in your mama's footsteps
Strung out on bad things
Just a product of circumstances
Never taught what love means
Travis I hope you did it different this time
All you had to do was make up your mind
Well, how did you decide to live your life
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
And the circle goes round
Until someone hears the sound
Of a breaking heart
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis

love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more
love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

Im Readin your letter
i dont know weather
to call you up and talk again.
When i saw the name you signed
goin through my mind it was a memory
of way back when.

Now All That I can tell you is good luck baby
Im sorry that it couldnt be me,
cause it felt to right and if we held on tight
id be with you tonight.

We never should have let our
love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

I wont forget the summer
my heart was like a drummer
just beating every night away
walkin in the sun with you
baby we were one i knew
love was really ours to stay

now all that i have left is a faded picture,
you belong to her today
and the memory of you and me
is just a used to be,

we never should have let our
love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more
shame it dont happen

love slipped through my hands
its a cryin shame
i cant play in your band
love fell at my feet its a cryin shame
the bitter is in the sweet

oh no..oh no

love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

love walk out the door
its a cryin shame
it dont happen no more

THE EARLY MORNING STRANGERS
WRITERS HAL DAVID, BARRY MANILOW

Every mornin' many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin' strangers
Things always look different in the light of day
Every mornin' many late night lovers
Just silently stare, seein' all the changes
It's hard to make small talk
When there's nothin' to say

Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all

Somewhere baby
There's got to be more

Somewhere baby there's a life worth livin'
Where nobody takes more than they are givin'
Where love is forever
Not just for a day

Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all

Bye bye baby
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine

I don't want to lose this good thing
Baby that we got
If I do, I would surely, surely lose alot
Cause your love is better
Then any love I know
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood (Baby)
I better knock, knock, knock

I'm not superstitious about you
I can't take no chance
Got me spinning oh baby
Baby I'm in a trance
Cause your love is better
Then any love I know
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood

It's no screte that my man fills my loving cup
He sees to it that I get just enough
Just one touch from him
Lord it means so much
It's like thunder (Thunder)
And lightning (Lightning)
The way you love me is freighting
I better knock on wood

Knock, knock, knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood
I think I better
Knock, (Knock) knock on wood

SPRING

In a broken down apartment house
Laid a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God
I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
Six o'clock the sun was rising
All upon the world
Seven forty-five the neighbor smiled
And said you got a beautiful girl
She named her Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
She named her Spring
And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said
Ah Spring
I've waited a long long time for you
In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman dying
By her side a little six year old girl
Who was softly crying
Momma don't go away
And leave me all alone
Momma said to the welfare lady
Find my child a good home
I miss my Spring
Ah winter's been a long time passing
I miss you Spring
The angels came that day
The welfare lady knelt to pray
Ah Spring
She'll be long time gone from you
A beautiful church outside of town
Stands a woman smiling
On her hand is a wedding band
Of fashionable styling
All these years in the orphan's home
He shares with you
Now all your hopes and your childhood dreams
Have all come true
He loves you Spring
Winter's been a long time passing
He needs you Spring
He promised you today
He would never never go away
Ah Spring
He's waited a long long time for you
Long long time for you

LOVING ON BORROWED TIME

I turn my back on him
Now it's you that makes me smile
But in your arms, I'm restless
Like I'm leaving in awhile
I let the match and burned my bridges
You were mine
Now I got this feeling
You'll be the next in line

[Chorus:]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time

My old love's broken pieces
And I ain't met the new
You're here in the middle
Hanging on until I do
Cause I'm a train that stops
At every station down the line
You're a fool so desperate
That you'll ride on borrowed time

[Chorus x3]
