Hey,
We're headed for the future
Give us some room
We're gonna build a new world

Say,
We're headed for the future
Give us some time
We're gonna make it work right

Yeah,
We're gonna build a new dream
We've got to make it stand tall
It's got to last a long time

Lean on me
And I'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
And the future's now
Show you how

LyricsHey,
We're headed for a new place
A step at a time
We're gonna take a long ride

Time
Don't wait around forever
We've got to do it right now
Let's do it all together

Lean on me
And I'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
And the future's now
Show you how

Lean on me
'Cause I'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future

Come on,
Lean on me
And I'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
And the future's ours

Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Yeah

I never did believe
That I would end up losing you this way
As far as I could see
The life we had was always gonna stay
And I tried to be
The man you need

I'll never understand
What I expected out of loving you
The way we had it planned
There always could be
Room enough for two
To live and grow
How could I know
I wouldn't be the man you need

And I wanna know why
Yeah, I wanna know how
Say I wanna know where
Everything went wrong
And I'm sorry, 'cause I love you
Lyrics
You told me more than once
I never understood my way around
The way that things worked out
I'm still not really sure
Of where I'm bound
You knew me well
I should have seen
I couldn't be the man you need

And I reach for the sky
I reach for the stars
And all of the time
I was reaching for you
And I'm sorry, 'cause I love you

Say it now again
I'm holdin' on
I've only just begun
To learn the meaning of not having you
I thought for sure
That I would be the man
You need forever more

That I would be the man
You need forever more
I want to be the man
You need forever more

Laura,
It's not the end of the world
It's just the end of the summertime

Oh but Laura,
I never promised the world
Just till the end of the summer time
But, I'll see you on the radio
It's playin' our summer song
That same old song
It goes on and on
And the radio
Keeps sayin' the summers gone
But I keep hearing, Laura

Now it's autumn
Somebody is waiting for you
And someone is waiting to see me too
Yeah, but Laura
I want to see you again
I don't know how and
LyricsI don't know when
But till I do

I'll see you on the radio
It's playin' our summer song
That same old song
It goes on and on
And the radio
Keeps sayin' the summers gone
But I keep hearing you....

On the radio
They're playin' our summer song
That same old song
It goes on and on
On the radio
They're sayin' that's summers gone
But I keep seeing you

On the radio
It's playin' our summer song
That same old song
It goes on and on

I know this time what I'm feeling
Real love I believe in
Every night I see it in your eyes

They might say we won't make it
The road's too long
We can't take it
What we have
I know it's gonna be alright

Love's worth fighting for
I'm reaching towards
The mirror of my soul
Took so long to find but now you're mine
I can feel the power

(Stand up for love
I want to shout about it)
Oh, yeah
(Reach out and we can set the eagle free)
Stand up for love
Lyrics(Stand up for love
Together we can make it)
Know we gonna make it
(We'll move mountains in our dreams)
Yes, stand up for love
(Stand up for love)
Oh, yeah
(And show the people we believe it
The world will never know
A sweeter song)
Stand up for love
(Rise up for love
Together we're in heaven)
Oh, yeah
(We'll move mountains with our dreams)

Time will not wait
Love won't hide away
Let's pull the blinds
For all the world to see

(Stand up for love
So good that we have found it)
Oh, yeah
(Oh we can't find a better place)
Stand up for love
(Stand up for love
We want to shout about it)
Shout about it
(We'll move mountains with our dreams)
Stand up for love
(Stand up for love
I want to shout about it)
Oh yeah
(Reach out and we can set the eagle free)
Stand up for love
(Stand up for love
Together we can make it)
Oh yeah
(We'll move mountains with our dreams)


. . .



I think of you now and then
'Cause I remember when
Love was new and you were mine
My love

So why should we pretend
We were lovers but now we're friends
Don't want to say good-bye to you again
My love

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
LyricsWe could never be the same again
My love

The more we see the less we know
You still believe our love could grow
Don't want to say good-bye to you again
My love

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love

How will I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
Just a lonely man
Looking for a place to start

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love
My love

I get up in the morning and I go to work
I try to keep busy but I feel the hurt
I see you around me ev'rywhere I turn
But you're gone - lost in Hollywood

You got up one morning,
Said you had to go
You would've gone
Even if I told you "no"
And all I could say was,
"Baby just take it slow,
You take care,
Don't get lost in Hollywood"

You had your dream, you had to find it
I begged you, "Girl, please don't go"
Now when I call to find if you're in
The answer always is "no"

You had to make it on your own
Just had to do it all alone for a while
LyricsWas not a lot that I could say
You had to have it your own way,
I suppose
Like some river that flows to the sea

And I should've known
That in time you would be leaving me
Leaving me

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

I get home in the evening
But I just can't sleep
I lay on your pillow
And I feel your heat
And ev'rything here
Just keeps on reminding me
That you're gone - lost in Hollywood

I walk the streets, it sounds of laughter
But I hear only the pain
The morning comes,
The sunshine greets me
But I feel only the rain

But something gets me through the day
Something in my heart keeps saying to me
I just know you can't be far away
When you come home
Ev'rything's going to work out okay
Okay

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

If you know where to find her
Then kindly remind her
While searching for finer
She's left love behind her
Yeah

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

Hey, has anybody seen my girl
She's lost in Hollywood

The story of my life
is very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

The story of my life
begins and ends with you
the names are still the same
and the story's still the truth

I was alone
you found me waiting
and made me your own
I was afraid
that somehow I never could be
the man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life
and every word is true
each chapter sings your name
each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
and never letting go
and if I die today
I wanted you to know

Stay with me here
share with me care with me
stay and be near
and when it began
I'd lie awake every night
just knowing somewhere deep inside
that our affair just might write

The story of my life
it's so very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

. . .



Maybe tonight
I will say what's on my mind
But the words are oh so hard to find

When I try to speak
It comes out like nervous chatter
Then my knees get weak
And I can't stop shaking

I try to relax,
'Cause I must maintain my cool
She knows I'm here
If I don't make a move right now
She's goin' to disappear

Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care

Angel
There's nothing in the world
LyricsThat I won't do for you
Angel

I followed you home
And imagined me with you
Girl, I should have known
When I tried to dial your number
I'd hang up the phone
Angel, did you answer

Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care

Angel
There's nothing in the world that
I won't do for you
Angel

And every time we meet
I feel like I got two left feet
And you,
You know what I'm goin' through

When I try to speak
It comes out like nervous chatter
Then my knees get weak
And I can't stop shaking

Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care

Angel
There's nothing in the world
That I won't do for you
Angel

Angel
I never met a girl that looks like you
Do-do-do do you even care
Angel

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
But I wasn't smart

Isn't it kind of funny, baby
Isn't it kind of funny,
Two of us apart

Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby
But it's the kind of funny
That can break your heart

All through the night
I can see you
All through the night
I call your name
Close my eyes and
I see you coming back to me
Wonder, could it be that way again
And I lie awake
And think of what we could have been
LyricsWhile you're lying there with him

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Sayin' it's kind of funny
But it's the kind of funny
That can make you cry

All through the night
I can see you
All through the night
I call your name
Close my eyes and
I see you coming back to me
But I know that it's only in my head
'Cause I lie awake
And think of what I should have said
And you're there with him instead

Should've been me beside you, baby
Should've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Never had time to take you dancin'
Never had time for dancin'
And I don't know why

Isn't it time we got together
Isn't it time we try it
Back to you and I

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you
I should be that guy

Could've been me beside you, baby
Could've been me beside you

How can I stay in this place
All that I see is her face
And every room just seems to haunt me

Why would she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door

Darlin',
Love it doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here, I know

I thought our love would go on
But somehow she knew all along
That we could never find an answer

Putting an end to our plans
Leaving my heart in my hands
LyricsSaying goodbye is such a chore

Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here

And we had something,
There can be no doubt
Now there's nothing left to talk about
She's the one thing I can't live without
How can I leave it all behind

And how could she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door

Darlin',
Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me
Tell me why, why did she have to go

Love doesn't live here anymore
Why can't it be like before
I know that she still wants me

Tell me why, why did she have to go
Love doesn't live here,
I know
I know
I know
I know
