1Feels Like Forever
Oh, it's a beautiful night
The breeze, it feels so right
And I feel out of my mind
'Cause you seem just like my type
So why don't youSit with me, stay a little longer
If you leave, I might just wanna follow
Stay the night and hold me 'til we wake up
Is it just me, 'cause this feels like foreverSome things are not what they seem
But this, it feels like a dream
My eyes, they just wanna see you close and naturally
I just want you toChorus ×2
Oh, it's a beautiful night
The stars, they light up the sky
About now, I'm thinking it's time for me to make you mine
Because I just want you to2Close To You
Your eyes take me to a place where I can feel so good inside
Baby, you are so much more than I can take
Feels like every moment gone is way too longI can't wait to get close to you
And baby, I can't see, oh no, no
See myself without your love
Every time I try to say the words in my heart
Well, I can never relate that I just want to be close to youTake me just the way I am
It seems that that's the way that you like it best
Then break me, you know I'm doing all I can
To keep all this love from pouring out my chestChorus
Close when the sky is bright, and when the stars fill up the night
Closer than you and I have ever been
I really wanna know you, baby, from within
Wanna know what's behind those eyes
That melt away my heart and make me feel so rightYour eyes take me to a place where I can feel good inside
Oh oh oh oh
Your eyes (your eyes) take me to a place
Where I can feel (I feel good) inside, hey3Only You
Only you can give me the stars and moon
In the sky we'll be flying, you and II got the stars right here in my heart
You are the night, I am the moonlight
I illuminate you in a different way
For you I'll shine, light up your lifeChorus
Look at the sky, see the brightest light
That is my love shining from above
And if you forget or feel the light has dimmed
Open your eyes and look into the nightChorus ×2
So for the rest of time you'll be mine (be mine)
You can know for sure I am yours (for sure)
Because we share a destiny
To be truly and so deeply in loveLook at the sky, see the brightest light
That is my love shining from above
And don't you forget or feel the light has dimmed
Open your eyes and look into the night, yeah4One Step Forward
One step forward and two steps back
That's how I always follow, even if I don't try
But I keep chasing my dreams 'til the day I die
And though the times may seem so hard, I still will try, yeahOne step forward and two steps back
One step forward and two steps backSteady climbing, gonna find my way
Because there is no denying you gotta seize the day
So I keep chasing my dreams 'til the day I die
And though at times I get knocked down, I still will fight, yeahChorus
And I'm often reminded that it shouldn't be any other way
And if the time passes by
You'll get up and you will try again5Perspective
I got a new point of view, and I'm looking in the distance
Today I chose to start anew, because I've been feeling so listless
I have found a place where I can rest my weary head, yeah
Beautiful is the peace energy I feel instead, yeah
Because I'm changing myPerspective (I am seeing things so differently)
Perspective (It's an energy inside)
I'm hoping to seek and willing to find a new state of mind
Perspective, yeah, I'm changing mineI gotta let go of the past for my inner peace to last
Because another chance to grow, it's not guaranteed tomorrow, no
I have found a chance for me to get to know myself, yeah
Beautiful is the person that I am, above all else
All because I'm changing myChorus
It's not easy trying to pretend, mostly feeling you're at an end
It's not easy trying to survive (It's not easy, tryin', yeah)
Barely feeling you are alive
But what a change in heart and mind, in time you'll find perspective6Running Around
You did what you did, said what you feel
It didn't work out, so what's the big deal?
But I just can't seem to get over the way you left me alone
Out in the cold, yeahHow do you seem to neglect it? The fact that I gave you everything
I kept my love for you on a shelf while you were running around
(Running around)
And how do you seem to forget it? The fact that I gave you everything
I kept my love for you on a shelf while you were running around
(Running around)It doesn't feel fair for you to be free
When you left me here, down on my knees, oh
But now that you seem to be over the life we built and love that we made
I guess you're doin' OK (I guess you're doin' OK)Chorus
I'm thinkin' it's time for me to move on
Shouldn't be hard now that you're gone
But I just can't seem to get over the love we made
You were putting it down
But you messed me around (oh oh oh)7A Woman Like Me
I tend to know what I like, I'm pretty sure of my type
I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind
And I'm fearless, headstrong, do you like it?And can you handle a woman like me?
Are you afraid to let me be free?
Because most men fall back the moment they see
What you're in for with a woman like meI may be up, then I'm down, but will you be around
When I'm crying, trying to be strong?
Because I'm fearful, fragile, will you learn?Chorus ×2
Don't be deceived by your eyes
A girl like me can surprise
Take it from me, because it will take time
If you can love me for all that I am and just let me be me
Then you're ready for a woman like me8Rain
Rain is falling from the sky again
Another cloud has just passed in
Can't remember when the sun last shined
Seems it's been this way for a minuteSo I'll keep my eye out for those rays
And look forward to better days
Maybe someday I'll find a place
In a world so out of shapeRain may fall and that's OK
Rivers turn into the sea
Water knows how it must flow
Winding towards a path unknownTears are falling from my face again
I feel my fears all crashing in
Don't remember when my soul last shined
I wish I could just get a minuteGoing so much faster every day
Don't know if I can keep up the pace
I go forward with a smiling face
'Cause soon it will fall into placeChorus
The clouds clear, gone away with my fear
For the first time I can see the sunshine9The Unknown
Finally I am facing some fears I've held inside
Looking past it I avoided, instead I chose to hide
Outside the world is turning, around it we go
All the while never knowing which way the wind will blowBut it makes me feel free, makes me feel right
Knowing that all we get in this life
Is only by chance and for us to grow
Sometimes we must step into the unknown
It makes me feel good, makes me feel free
Knowing that somewhere deep within me
There's always a chance for me to grow
If I take that step into the unknownEvery moment we are changing, growing as we go
I find it so amazing, there is still so much to learn
But still I get that feeling that I am not alone
And together we can face it, the fear of the unknownChorus
We're gonna make it through the changes
Whatever life will throw our way, we'll take it
Make the best of what you are and don't ever forsake it
'Cause it's the only chance you gotWe're gonna make it through the changes
Whatever life will throw our way, we'll take it
(We're gonna take it, yeah)
Make the best of what you are and don't ever forsake it
'Cause it's the only chance you got (oh, yeah)10Always Love Me
We go round and around in circles 'til we both hit the ground
People, they just don't know
Know how far you're willing to go for meI never thought I needed anyone but me
I was blind, but somehow
Oh, you made me see
That you'll always love meIt's hard to imagine how
How this world would break me down
If you weren't here by my side
Oh, surely I wouldn't surviveChorus
Show me the way and baby I'll follow
You're the only one I wanna be with tomorrow
Each and every day I thank God that you're here in my life
And after all this time I finally got it right11Somewhere Over The Rainbow
