The streetlights shine like candles in the night They hold me tight In their flickering glow Baby won't you come on back inside? You know I'll treat you right Your Romeo Sometimes I still dream of hazel eyes And your broken smile And my memories Your hair was just like sunlight on the rise When I could call you mine You were just for me My apologies always came too late The things I said -- I sounded like a fool But I'm just scared my light is growing dim While you're with him And these lovesick blues Your eyes could flash fire to my soul But now I don't know Where you're at You tripped on the last step out the door Then I watched you go And that was that Your hazel eyes blurry now with tears Helpless -- not knowing what to do It seems that love and pain go hand-in-hand So you can understand These lovesick blues The moonlight bathes the contours of the street Where we finally meet So how you been? My naked heart just can't take the heat When our eyes meet All I see is him So that's my cue to head on down the road Too many things reminding me of you The highway is the only place I'm bound With no one around Just these lovesick blues

I saw her in the evening I swear she was singing Even though she never made a sound You think I'm lying I saw her flying Though her feet never left the ground How can you see the best in me? See the girl with the Cheshire grin I can't wait til she smiles again Standing in the sunlight Where everything is all right Haloed with a crown of gold Fix me with a hard stare Angel with the dark hair A secret begging to be told How can you see the best in me? See the girl with the Cheshire grin I can't wait til she smiles again Just to bathe in her sunlight is all I had planned She can shatter my senses with a wave of her hand I'd pull down the stars, I would wrap up the sky I would swallow the moon if it would catch her eye Did I catch her eye? The sun is setting It bears forgetting Soon the winter winds will blow See you in the moonlight I think I'm all right Your smile's with me where I go How can you see the best in me? See the girl with the Cheshire grin I can't wait til she smiles again Did you see? I think she smiled at me

We've all had love We've all had sorrow We tell ourselves tomorry ow's a new day The journey's end That ain't what matters It's the things we learn along the way Sometimes we all need to stumble To see if we can get up once again Oh when I was in love Everything seemed so simple I wish I could feel that way again The years go by And I'm still searching I've hurt so many on the way Life is hard And it's often lonely But it lets us know we're okay Living's just another word for fighting And fighting means that sometimes we can win Oh when I was in love Everything seemed so simple God I wish I could feel that way again

When this river of life Tosses and turns And threatens to bury me The feel of your touch Cools as it burns And heals me so easily Well I've stood my ground When I should have run I've stolen, I've cheated, I've lied Now I've found you My life has begun Hand in hand and side by side Well I've had my share Of easy love I've had my heart broken too But love means having Something to lose And I'd risk my everything for you Well I've stood my ground When I should have run I've stolen, I've cheated, I've lied Now I've got you My life has begun Hand in hand and side by side There's no joy In waking alone Two tears all she left behind Wherever I go she's On the tip of my tongue And on the corner of my mind Well I've stood my ground When I should have run I've stolen, I've cheated, I've lied Although I've lost you We sure had some fun Hand in hand and side by side

Alone on the highway Counting each pointless mile I smell you in my clothes I see your titled smile The hours go slowly I need your touch You're unforgiven You're unforgiven for making me miss you so much I remember our first dance Scared of where to put my hands Your eyes were laughing Not exactly what I planned The hours went swiftly Just us all night You're unforgiven You're unforgiven for making me hold you so tight The sun slowly setting The twilight bleeding in The fury of your passion The softness of your skin I'm coming apart Apart at the seems You're unforgiven You're unforgiven for making me see you in my dreams

Welcome to my nightmare Where the music finally ends It's always the dead of winter And she says we should just be friends I can tell her that I'm brave now But that would be a lie I can tell you that I love you But I can't look you in the eye I couldn't say goodbye, love So I just said goodnight So maybe while you're dreaming I can finally love you right Memories make bad company And they steal my cigarettes They make me choose between a broken man And a drunken silhouette They whisper of mistakes I've made They shake me like a leaf I'm gasping for a tender word I'm drowning in my grief I couldn't say goodbye, love So I just said goodnight So maybe while you're dreaming I can finally love you right With love like mine It's hard to see With any kind of Certainty Now some take the road to Mecca Some take the road to Rome I don't know what road I'm taking So I guess that makes anywhere home I couldn't say goodbye, love So I just said goodnight So maybe while you're dreaming I can finally love you right No answer goes unquestioned No peace without a fight But maybe while I'm dreaming I can finally love you right

The stars are shining How they sparkle They dazzle like your diamond smile The earth is spinning The moon is grinning I guess I'll wait a little while The late Molly Kate Have you seen her? If I could only make her mine The late Molly Kate How I need her If she could only be on time The winter weather I wore my sweater I can stand the chill a little bit She brings the spring time When she gets around to it The late Molly Kate Have you seen her? If I could only make her mine The late Molly Kate How I need her If she could only be on time My legs are cramping My feet are stamping The winter's hush is closing in The keeps me waiting It gets frustrating But I'd do it all again The late Molly Kate Have you seen her? If I could only make her mine The late Molly Kate How I need her If she could only be on time

Oh my sweet Valentine Won't you tell me what to do My heart is just a game And I'm losing it to you No I don't have much to show But there's something you should know All the love that's in my soul Is for only you alone Oh my sweet bitter half I'm feeling so ashamed Left my past behind But I can't recall your name No I don't have much to do I just pray you love me too And I promise to be true To only you alone Cuz I think man was born to love But a woman's life is pain I'm scared of what's to lose I'm scared of what's to gain No I don't have much to show But there's something you should know Is for only you alone No I don't have much to gain But a day without you's pain So I sit and watch the rain And think of only you alone

Meet me tonight without hesitation Wearing the night on your skin Meet me tonight without reservation But don't ask me where I've been I'l sing you a song of loveliness and mountains A song without fear or regret Take me in your hands, poison me with kisses Teach me how to forget The years go by/And memories fade But I can't seem to let go of you I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty These Mexico City blues I'll stay with you tonight and I've given you warning There's no place I really need to be I'll love you tonight and see you in the morning But it might not be your face I'll see The moon shines bright but brings me no comfort The stars burn cold from above The leaves hiss about and blanket me with shadows And I ache for you my love Kill me with your eyes, save me with your music Your lips show me how to despair I've written you this song of loneliness and fire Breathe the sweetness in the air The years go by/And memories fade But I can't seem to let go of you I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty These Mexico City blues Chase me all through the night/I'm still too drunk to care I'll sing you this song/But the words come out wrong And my shame is always there So meet me tonight without hesitation Some place I can touch you alone Meet me tonight without reservation Alone is all we've ever known The years go by/And memories fade But I can't seem to let go of you I still hear your voice/So pale and pretty These Mexico City blues

Always thought you caught me at my best Now just an uninvited guest You see me at my worst Free at last -- what exactly does that mean? Still the first one on the scene The boy you turn to first You don't know my heart/You didn't from the start I should have seen it then You don't know my mind/Love shouldn't be so blind A lover, not a friend You don't know my heart The moon is burning through the clouds I say your name out loud A sin I must atone In the dark no one can hear you scream When you're buried in my dreams For me and me alone You don't know my heart/You didn't from the start I should have seen it then You don't know my mind/Love shouldn't be so blind A lover, not a friend You don't know my heart I don't want to hunger for your touch Or to miss you quite so much Why'd I let you in so deep? Your kiss still burning through my head I wish that I was dead So I could get some sleep You don't know my heart/You didn't from the start I should have seen it then You don't know my mind/Love should never be so blind A lover, not a friend You don't know my heart/You tear it all apart Scattered to the breeze You don't know how much you/Make me want to touch you You bring me to my knees You don't know my heart

It's always hard to say goodbye, love So I'll just say adieu The only truth there is in change, love -- It's something new Señorita in the sunshine Hair down to her waist I think it's safe to say you'll be fine Just have some faith We still see you/Leaping through the air Always near you/Flowers in your hair Your heart will lead you/A smile soft and fair We will be with you/Everywhere I thought I saw you dancing Off of the river bank I guess that I just dreamed it Because you never sank Thought of something I should say here Something nice and profound Must have lost it on the way here It's the thought that counts We still see you/Leaping through the air Always near you/Flowers in your hair Your heart will lead you/A smile soft and fair We will be with you/Everywhere It's always hard to say goodbye, love So I'll just say adieu The only truth there is in change, love -- It's something new Señorita in the sunshine Hair down to her waist I think it's safe to say you'll be fine Just have some faith Yeah it's safe to say you'll be fine Just have some faith We still see you Always near you Your heart will lead you We will be with you
