Clouds 05:51
Don't run, Don't hide, Don't you lock yourself up inside, When your faith is gone, Just remember to hold on, Cause it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring, Yes it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring. When the road you're travelling on, Comes to an end where you don't belong, Don't lose your faith, There's a ray of hope in everyday. Cause it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring, Yes it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring No matter where you are, Or what you do, I'll always be here loving you. Cause it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring, Yes it's clouds like these, That make the prettiest blooms in spring

When the sun it sets in golden embers, Or the storm it rages to the sea, There's an island of rose coloured memories, Memories of you and me. Cause you are the one I love, And you are the only one I'm dreaming of. When the flowers are blooming in springtime, And your smile it lights up the sky, The touch of your fingers upon my shoulder, These things I'm missing tonight. Cause you are the one I love, And you are the only one I'm dreaming of.

[Refrain/Verse 1] Wherever I wander, Wandering this world, My poor here is aching, For your tender touch, You put me together, When I come up short, I can't deny it I'm yours. [Chorus] There's got to be a way, There's got to be a time or a day, There's got to be something I can say, Something I can say to make you stay, There's got to be truth, There's got to be more than me and you, There's got to be something I can do, To take away these blues. [Bridge] And I have given everything, Everything that I know how, There's nothing more, Than memories, of someone else's dream. [Verse 2] You told me once dear, You could never be, the one I turn to When I lose me way, But I know something, Thant you just don't see, Your heart is pure good I can guarantee. There's got to be a way, There's got to be a time or a day, There's got to be something I can say, Something I can say to make you stay, There's got to be truth, There's got to be more than me and you, There's got to be something I can do, To take away these blues.

Somewhere 04:03
Somewhere, I wonder if you're somewhere thinking of me, The way that I am here dreaming of you, And all the lovely things that you say and do. Somewhere, I know that love is singing for some pair, Of young lovers in the first flush and I, Dream of the day that might be true for us. But I know it's just a dream, A fantasy that may never be, For your love is with another, So this love affair can never be. Someday, I pray that you will see me the way I see you, And that you might love me too, Then all of my dreams will come true.

Sweet Smile 04:26
Woke up this morning with a pain in my heart, With a hole in my soul, And a head full of thought, Swore I saw you in my dream last night, And in the morning light, Under the dark starry skies. Since you left these shores birds aren't singing anymore, I won't cry but I'll always miss your sweet, sweet smile. Learning to live without you lord I just can't stand, Will there ever be an end to these tears that have been shed, If you come back honey that day will be fine, To see you one more time is the greatest wish of mine. Since you left these shores birds aren't singing anymore, I won't cry but I'll always miss your sweet, sweet smile, Miss your sweet, sweet smile. Maybe we'll have sorrow, Maybe we'll have joy, Maybe we'll find out tomorrow, If this road is leading anywhere. Woke up this morning with a pain in my heart, With a hole in my soul, And a head full of thought, Swore I saw you in my dream last night, And in the morning light, Under the dark starry skies. Since you left these shores birds aren't singing anymore, I won't cry but I'll always miss your sweet, sweet smile, Miss your sweet, sweet smile

I Wish 04:47
I Wish I knew how, To love you the way you need me to, But darling I keep trying, And I just keep letting you down. I Wish I could understand, What it means just to hold your hand, But darling I keep trying, And I just keep letting you down. Your love is the sweetest thing, The happiness and the joy you bring, Can't you see it would be so fine, Oh I hope one day, That you will be mine. I Wish we could find a way, To stay together, More than I can say, Darling if you'll let me, I'll do my best to get it right.

I don't want to fall don't want to hide, I want to live before I die, All these roads and all these bends, Been here before and we know where it ends. So I am here all out of answers, And I'm listening for a sign you might send, To let me know where it all begins. There will be foe in friendly sheath, A poison dagger hidden up there sleeve, They'll try to crush you a friendly sting, I've never understood that kind of thing. So I am here all out of answers, And I'm listening for a sign you might send, To let me know where it all begins.

Sitting here listening to the rain fall, The rain falling down around my thoughts, Remembering when life it had no sparkle, Remembering a time when I was lost. And now when the days grow dark and lonesome, Your love brings me relief, You make me complete. I don't know where I had ended, Or how I'd come to be in that place, All the time it was you I was missing, All the time I was waiting for this faith. Sometimes the answers come before you know the question, Your love brings me relief, This love was in the stars, The stars shining down on me, For your heart I'll be first in line, Hoping I can help you shine. And now when the days grow dark and lonesome, When this life brings me to my knees, Your love brings me relief, You make me complete.

Hope 05:01
The days all drift together and, A haze is setting in, Nothing will ever be as it's, Always been, Since Hope came your way, And brightened everyday. The nights a friend we never knew, Full of stories true if you, Listen carefully you'll hear, The one that's true for you, Since Hope came your way, And brightened everyday. You'll never know the way things can go, So don't wait to tell someone, That love is here, You're love is here to stay.
10.
When your road gets too long And you're all out of song And the pain gets too much For you to bear Turn around, turn around Turn around and I'll be there Like a road, like a road leading home When the storm clouds start to blow You got no place to go And you need some company Who really cares Turn around, turn around Turn around and I'll be there Like a road, like a road leading home Day have past and gone And the road you're traveling on Doesn't seem to be going anywhere Turn around, turn around Turn around and I'll be there Like a road, like a road leading home Like a road, like a road leading home
