So Deep 03:51
lyrics
buy track
I know I barely met you But you stole my heart away Now I need to be with you Won't you hear what I have to say I'm gonna call you beautiful (Everyone says you're beautiful) But then I'll tell you something That I bet you've never heard before My love is SO DEEP My love is SO DEEP Don't think it's skin deep My love is SO DEEP I'm not a superficial guy I can feel it through and through I never knew I had a type 'Til I found my type was you The more I watch you dancing, baby I want you more and more You're making me feel something That I never ever felt before My love is SO DEEP My love is SO DEEP Don't think it's skin deep My love is SO DEEP Until this very moment I didn't believe in love at first sight But I'll admit that I was wrong 'Cause everything about you is right You got no reason to trust me But I promise every word is true You just need a man like me Who can show you what love can do I'm not like the other guys Who want to love you and leave you there 'Cause when they get bored And they've all gone home Look around and I'll still be there My love is SO DEEP My love is SO DEEP Don't think it's skin deep My love is SO DEEP

Cartoon World 03:17
lyrics

I'm living in a cartoon world Full of bright and happy colors and sweet melodies All the animals are friendly and they smile when I walk by And I smile right back at them You make me see so differently I don't have to fantasize The way you make me feel puts a whole new world before my eyes My cartoon world I'm living in a cartoon world There's no cloud up in the sky, just a smiling sun Birds are landing on my shoulder and they sing a happy tune And harmonize with me You make me see so differently I don't have to fantasize The way you make me feel puts a whole new world before my eyes My cartoon world I'm living in a cartoon world Cars and trees and building talk and they say lovely things It's a world of joy and happiness A world made of love Of the love I have for you And it's a world made for two Come join me in my cartoon world Come join me in my cartoon world

Good On Another Day 04:47
lyrics
buy track
Tale of two cities The time is today Caught up in the motions Of serious play Dangerous pity A wounded left hand Don't know how to say it You won't understand Maybe it's better we can't be together Cause I'm not ready You're not willing Maybe it's better we can't be together Cause I'm not ready You're not able You try to be distant I try to be wise Boundless attraction Cut down to size We try to ignore it It won't go away It's not going to happen No, at least not today Maybe it's better we can't be together Cause I'm not ready You're not willing Maybe it's better we can't be together Cause I'm not ready You're not able But at least We caught a glimpse Of something that could have been Good on another day In some other life For two other people

The Day I Dared To Hope 03:04
lyrics
buy track
The day I dared to hope I thought I couldn't lose I thought a great big jackpot sure would chase away my blues My confidence was high I had to go all in I put the money on the table, watched that wheel spin I had a lucky feeling, but I guess my luck was bad The house took me for everything I had The day I dared to hope The day I dared to dream I dreamt that I could fly Built myself a pair of wings And reached up to the sky I thought I'd be a bird I thought I'd be a plane I thought I'd be a Superman And get my Lois Lane As soon as I got in the air So high above the ground All my hopes and dreams came crashing down The day I dared to hope Now hope makes the impossible Seem possible at first Makes you think at least it's worth a try But trying leads to failure Oh my god that failure hurts If you never hope You never have to cry The day I dared to hope I pinned my hopes on you Nothing else could bring me down Our love would see us through I hoped you'd be my queen And I would be your king I hoped together we could conquer anything But when you told me I would never be the special one That's when I knew my hoping days were done The day I dared to hope

Can We Still Be Friends 05:19
lyrics
buy track
So you said no, as expected All I can do now is move on I might need some time to get over you But please don't forget me while I'm gone Can we still be friends? When I'm done swimming in my sorrow Will you still talk to me tomorrow? Can we still be friends? Although I can't pretend that my heart isn't shattered It would have hurt worse if you lied about what mattered And I still wave the flag of love Albeit tattered and torn and broken Maybe you don't think I can do it Cause I already asked for more But if I can't have you closer Then the only thing that I have left to lose Is what we had before Can we still be friends? I don't expect you to adore me But will you have a kind word for me Can we still be friends? I would have loved to be your lover 'cause I love you And though I can't I still am always thinking of you If I can't be the one, I'd rather still be someone to you Than no one I want whatever makes you happy If that means go away... I will I won't be hateful or dramatic Cause even if we're done, I love you still Can we still be friends? Will you still try to care about me Or did you decide to do without me? Can we still be friends? Though my heart's in pieces all around me I'd rather go back to where you found me Than bring it to an end

Gonna Make You Feel 04:53
lyrics
buy track
I can't sleep at night Now I'm gonna keep you up all night When I look in your eyes You set me on fire Now I'm gonna give you fever Get you burning up, baby Light a candle Play some music Gonna make you lose all sense of time When I kiss you When I hold you Nothing in this world but your body and mine I'm gonna make you feel Like you make me feel I'm gonna make you feel Like you make me feel Now you're nervous And you're trembling You don't know where I'm gonna take you next But you know It's gonna be higher When I'm away from you Feel so empty inside Nah... I won't make you feel empty You can feel it In your body All that tension building up inside Close the windows Hug your pillows Gonna give you happiness that make you Scream and cry I'm gonna make you feel Like you make me feel I'm gonna make you feel Like you make me feel I can't sleep at night Still I wake up happy

Crossing The Distance 03:50
lyrics
buy track
You know I love you I know how you feel But could it go further Could it be real You say there's no reason For thinking this way Because of the distance You never would say "Let's get together and give it a try If we don't find love, at least we'll know why." There's a distance we must cross (A distance we must cross) And we'll never know what's lost (and we'll wonder all our lives) And we have to cross it soon before our love can slip away If I have a chance with you If I have a prayer Then let me be with you Just let me be there I'm crossing the distance Between you and me With no expectations Except that we'll see Whether together we still want to try If we don't find love, at least we'll know why There's a distance we must cross (A distance we must cross) And we'll never know what's lost (and we'll wonder all our lives) And we have to cross it soon before our love can slip away (If I could email myself as an attachment I'd be in your inbox already. Don't you worry about virus scanning, baby. I'm clean. Check your spam folder. I'm on my way.)

I Am Not What I Want For You 05:01
lyrics
buy track
What I want for you is Joy, smiles, and laughter Living in luxury Happy ever after And all I can promise you is Tears and sadness Giving in to weakness Emptiness and madness I am not what I want for you No, I am not what I want for you What I want for you is Safety and security Living without worry Strength and stability And all I can offer you is Doubt and uncertainty Giving in to misery Constant ambiguity And love But love is not enough I am not what I want for you No, I am not what I want for you So go And live a happy life Find the joy I cannot give you And everything I want for you So go Please go I'm letting go I am not what I want for you
