Stand Up For Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Baby, we've been in and out of love so many times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one
more good-bye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make it
But that's all we need if we just take it

[Chorus:]
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause I know what we got is worth
fighting for
And I know for sure, right or wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms
somehow I see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it

[Chorus]

For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two have made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up
for each other

Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause we know what we got is worth
fighting for
And we know for sure, right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

"The Hunger" (1987)

Hot Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I never knew someone who made me
Feel so good before
But I never gave my heart to anyone
Who could hurt me more
And when you promise me that no one else
Will ever take my place
I get the feeling you're just leading me on
And lying right to my face

First you say you want me then you say
You're leaving
I've gotta know if I'm coming or going with you
When ya say you need me
Do you really mean it
Maybe it's true I just wish I could believe it

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

Just when I give it up the game
Is through and your heart is mine
I turn around you're up to something new
Ya do it time after time

What's it gonna take to break this circle
I've gotta know am I coming or going with you
And when ya hurt me do ya really mean to
Ya say ya don't I wish I could believe you

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

You come on like a fire burning
And I'm lost in the flame
Over and over again

Hot love ya leave me so cold
But one touch and you've got me
Where ya want me
Hot love ya leave me so cold
I don't know if I'm coming or going
There's no way of knowing with you

Wait On Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Now she's gone, from my life
And it nearly drove me out of my mind
Always thinking what she meant to me
All we left behind
Can't be afraid, startin' over
Gotta get up, start livin' again
When you're drownin' in your loneliness
The hurtin' never ends....
And the night rolls on
I search for some piece of mind
No, I can't be wrong
Won't get burned by desire this time

[Chorus:]
Gonna wait on love, holdin' on till I find the one
Wait on love, won't hold back
I promised myself, till it comes...
Gonna wait on love

Wanna get close with somebody
When a voice says I'm movin' too fast
It's hard to know when to walk away
Or try to make it last......
Still the night rolls on
Secrets are safe in the dark
And I stayed too long
I'm not gonna lie to my heart

[Chorus]

Someone I can run to
Just know that it's right
Trust my heart and soul to
For the rest of my life....

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Gina Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Nowhere to run I know
She's got the best of me
The deed is done, Heaven knows
She wants the rest of me

It's much too late
I'm caught up in the fantasy
There's no escape
My runnin' days are history

Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

Been on the loose so long
Love couldn't hold me down
The flame in you was so strong
Girl you turned my heart around

Now I'm losin' sleep
Can't get you out of my head
Think I'm in too deep
I'm a slave to every word that you said

Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

That's What Love Is All About Lyrics – Michael Bolton

There was a time
We thought our dream was over
When you and I
Had surely reached the end
Still here we are
The flame as strong as ever
All because we both kept holding on
We know we can weather any storm

[Chorus:]
Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the fire burning
It's something we could never live without
It it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

As time goes by
We've learned to rediscover
The reason why
This dream of our survives
Through thick and thin
We're destined for each other
Knowing we can reach the other side
Far beyond the mountains of our pride

[Chorus]

Ridin' the good times is easy
The hard times can tear you apart
There'll be times in your heart
When the feelin' is gone
But ya keep on believing
And ya keep holdin' on

Baby, that's what love is all about
Two hearts that find a way, somehow
To keep the dream from dying
It's something we could never live without
If it takes forever
We can work it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Baby, that's what love is all about

The Hunger Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Shadows fall
Through the darkness we reach
As the hunger calls
Then you run
To the passion that takes you over

No lookin' back
The chance will never come again
You risk it all
For your dream
Won't let you go

When you feel the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Alone through an endless night
And the needs never satisfied

Through these eyes
Seen a river of tears
Seen the strong survive
Separate lives
And the emptiness makes you wonder
Blame it on love

You had it all and it's not enough
You'll never change
A slave to the fire
It never ends

Still you've got the hunger
Drivin' you on
To your one desire
Never deny your heart

The need to be satisfied
Still you feel the hunger
The primitive rite
Of a restless breed
Surrendering all your life
To the true nature of the beast

No looking back
The chance will never come again
You give it all to your dream
It never ends

You're All That I Need Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I've been thinking about the night
We held each other so close
Had the words locked up inside
We finally let them go
And how we promised together
Forever that we'd never fall
Oh, with a passion that felt so right
Deep in our restless hearts
Nothing breaks the ties
If only love survives
You put your faith in me, now I believe

You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold on to me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
The shelter in my life
The air that I can breathe
You're all that I need

Through the years you've loved one man
And always let me know
Found the strength to understand
It's been no easy road
You've never given up
Can't live without your love
I'll put my heart of the line
Until you believe

You're all that I need,
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream, run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need

I can face the fire
When you stand beside me
You keep my heart inspired
The way you believe

You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream
Run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need
You're all that I need

Take A Look At My Face Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I said a lot of things
A lot of things I didn't mean to say
Never meant to hurt you
I was wrong to fight with you that way
But I'm only human
I let my pride deceive me
You're the lover I need in my life
If you still don't believe me

[Chorus:]
Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place
Right here by my side
Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

From the day I found you
You brought light into my heart
So don't keep your love away from me
Don't leave me in the dark
Though I never tell you
What my heart's concealing
You're the lover I need in my life
Can't you feel what I'm feeling

Baby take a look at my face
Tell me you don't see what you started
No one's gonna take your place

Baby take a look at my face
You're never gonna be broken-hearted
If you still don't know what you mean to me
Take a look at my face

You could think it over
You could make it easy
I'm the lover you need in your life
If you still don't believe me

[Chorus]

Walk Away Lyrics – Michael Bolton

It's over now, gotta face it one last time
We'll never make it work, heaven knows we tried
Living this life, holdin' on for so long
I know it won't be easy, but it's time to be strong

[Chorus:]
Walk away, walk away
Don't you wait a minute longer
Walk away from the love we know is wrong
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now, before my heart won't let you
Walk away

You and I, never wanted it to end
Just have to find a way, to start livin' again
Oh, love of my life, I don't want to let you go
Leave behind the memories, a forever that we'll never know

[Chorus]

Ya know we can't go on, ya know the reason why
That don't make it any easier, when it comes to saying
Good-bye
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now
Before my heart won't let you...

[Chorus]

"Everybody's Crazy" (1985)

Save Our Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Our love, can last forever
True hearts, can beat as one
Lost souls, I've seen their faces
Girl after the fire is gone

Torn hearts, dreams are broken
Love shattered before their eyes
Did they run when runnin' was easy
Or do they know where the secret lies

We've got so much more to say
And far too much to lose
Girl if we try to find a way
Before this night is through

[Chorus:]
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love

Look deep, and feel the power
Rescue love from a stormy sea
We can reach through the distance between us
Precious time is all we need

And a dream is not enough
When it's not worth fightin' for
For all we've given to our love
Tonight we've gotta give it more

[Chorus]

Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay and make it stronger
Save our love

[Chorus solo]

Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay and make it stronger
Save our love, save our love, save our love

Everybody's Crazy Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
She's just a child goin' on seventeen

She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
They don't mean what they say
They don't say what they mean
She reads the signs, reads between the lines
But it makes no difference
There's no reason or rhyme

Just hold on girl, as long as you can
In time you'll learn what you don't understand
It's the human condition, it's the nature of man

[Chorus:]
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy

This city boy, he don't want no control
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
But here they come to turn the pressure on
Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone

The time has come now to be a man
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else

The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down
I am who I am, I've had a good look around
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found

[Chorus]

There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
Sooner or later, ya come to understand
The human condition, it's the nature of man

[Chorus]

Can't Turn It Off Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I can't get you back, but I can't turn away from you
Our love is a fact
Though I've tried to deny it, like you wanted me to
I brake on the streets
The people they stop and stare
Was it only a dream, you said you must leave
So why do you follow me everywhere

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

[Chorus:]
Can't turn it off, can't turn it off, I said
I can't turn it off, why do you follow me
Can't turn it off, ya turned it on and now I
Can't turn it off

If I'm goin' down, I'm sure to go down in flames
I wait for your sound
I look for you now and I can't hold you to blame

I know you feel guilty, for things we've said and done
To you I'm a moment of fire in your life
But it's different for me, you're the only one

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

[Chorus]

The sound of your voice is all I can hear
I still see your face, it's all I can bear
Knowing wherever I run, you'll always be there

[Chorus]

Call My Name Lyrics – Michael Bolton

You and I sailed away to a place
We once called paradise
We were young and deep in our love
And we never needed lies

So here we stand face to face
Knowing we've drifted apart
As for myself, there'll be nobody else
Who'll ever touch this place in my heart

[Chorus:]
You just call my name
And I'll come runnin' for you in the night
Just call my name
And I'll come runnin' right back into your life
If you ever need my love, call my name

Will ya call the love we shared
Just a moment passing in time
It was a moment I can never forget
And a love that was so hard to find

There are no chains to hold you down
I told you a long time ago
If the time has come for movin' on
There's one thing I need you to know

[Chorus]

If you feel you need my love
And it's time we start over again

[Chorus]

Everytime Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Don't wanna lose this feelin'
It's more than I need to survive
Just when I stopped believin'
That's when you came into my life

Ya turned it around, within you I found
Everything that's real to me
I'm lost inside your love
And that's just where I wanna be

[Chorus:]
Everytime you give your love, it's a fire, it's a miracle
Everytime I feel your love in my life, I know it's a miracle
You've got the power, you know it
To touch my every fantasy
When we make love, you show it
In everything you give me

So take what you want, take what you will
You're the one who holds the key
To open up the door, to reach the deepest part of me

[Chorus]

Everytime you give your love, it's a fire
Everytime I feel your love in my life, I know it's a miracle
Everytime, everytime

Just when I stopped believin', girl, you stepped into my life
Ya give me the fire I needed
It was so hard to find, you're givin' it everytime

[Chorus]

Desperate Heart Lyrics – Michael Bolton

One night, one empty room
One man getting over you
One star, one lonely moon
I make a wish I know will never come true

You'll call my name
And you'll beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains
And I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend

[Chorus:]
It's all over but I'm holding on
I can't let go till the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on
With a desperate heart
My desperate heart

Some nights I try in my mind
To see myself loving someone new
Still I know I'm wasting my time
No one can ever take the place of you

So I close my eyes
I swear I feel you here by my side
Bet it's all, it's only a lie
That I need to believe for my heart to survive

[Chorus]

All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusion
I've been keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows
And back into my life

[Chorus]

I can't believe your love for me is gone

Start Breaking My Heart Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Everynight, I would lie awake
Alone in my bed
Think of you, then I'd cry myself
To sleep, that's what you said
You were so sure of yourself
By now I'd be out of my mind
So where is the madness
The pain and the sadness
You swore you'd be leavin' behind

[Chorus:]
Start breaking my heart
Start bringin' me down
Start breaking my heart
Like you said you'd do to me
Start breaking my heart
Tearin' me apart, breaking my heart
Start breaking my heart

Lookin' back, you were good at diggin'
Into my soul
All the time, oh I should've understood
You just needed control
Finally you realized, how much you were
Foolin' yourself
Ya thought you'd desert me
Thought you could hurt me
By leavin' me for somebody else

[Chorus]

You're breaking your promise to me
You swore I'd be fallin' apart

[Chorus]

You've been gone girl, I don't even
Know how long
Come on and prove me wrong
You can start by breaking my heart
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart

You Don't Want Me Bad Enough Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Here ya come with that song on your face
Telling me with tears in your eyes
How ya made a big mistake
Now ya say ya realize
Was I just suppose to fade away
Into the lonely night

Just waitin' for the day
You would say you've learned your lesson well
Livin' without my love was hell
And I would believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

[Chorus:]
You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough right now
I don't think you've had enough
Baby you don't want me bad enough right now

Maybe you could take some time
Think about the plans we once made
Before ya put your dreams on the line
Think about the price to be paid
Was I suppose to open up the door

And carry on just like it was before
I hope you understand it's not the end
But I'm not goin' through this scene again
And I do believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

[Chorus]

Love you'll learn, is a double-edged blade
Now the tables are turned
And it cuts both ways
If you're ready for love
Then I want you to stay
But this time, yeh
This time, I've gotta be sure, yeh

[Chorus]

You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough

Don't Tell Me It's Over Lyrics – Michael Bolton

It's in your eyes
Here we go again
Tonight you're gonna come on strong
Such a cryin' shame, the time we spend
Over who's been right
And who's been wrong
There'll be no pretending this time
Your eyes are like fire
You'll swear it's the end of the line
But you and I, we both know you're liar

[Chorus:]
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't tell me that we're through
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't try 'n tell me that it's over
It isn't true
Don't tell me that it's over
'Cause you can't say good-bye, any more
Than I, can walk away from you

Ya say it's hard to love a man like me
But baby now and then
Ya do your fair share so easily
You can push me to my limit
And back again

Just when I can't take anymore
And I've made up my mind
I say I'm ready to walk out the door
But somethin' keeps me from leavin' you behind

[Chorus]

There's a reason why
After we've tried
We're not runnin' to the arms of another

When all comes down
We both know by now
We just still mean too much to each other

Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me it's over

"Michael Bolton" (1983)

Fools Game Lyrics – Michael Bolton

When I met you, oh
You know at first you had me so confused
I used to lay awake at night
Just copin' with the feelings I so long refused

Well I surrendered my love
I saw you turn your heart stone cold to ice, darlin'
I put my heart on the line for you
Oh I did, I put my heart on the line, yeah
First you take me to the highest ground
Then you keep me hanging like some foolish clown

[Chorus:]
It's such a fools' game, yeah
It's such a fools' game
I keep playing such a fools' game, yeah(forever)
I keep on playin', keep on playin' this fools' game
Yeah, this fools' game

I can't take another sleepless night
It's time to light the fire down inside of you
I don't mind, I have the sun on my back

To get a feeling that you never knew
You never knew
Got the secret in the palm of your hands
Will you keep it woman, will you break this man

[Chorus]

Girl I know, you're playin' full time
But it may be too late, when you make up your mind

You keep me in this fools' game
Forever in your fools' game
You got me caught up in this fools' game
Such a fools' game, oh no, a fools' game
How long will you keep me in this fools' game

She Did The Same Thing Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I see you finally found a set of rules
That came inside her game, boy
You were so young and very proud
It's hard believin' you're the same, boy

Did she take you so deep into the night
And promise you a piece of her heart
Make it feel so good, feel so right
Then turn around, and tear you apart

[Chorus:]
I know, she did the same thing
I know, she did the same thing
I know, she did the same thing to me, oh yeah

She plays upon your dreams and fantasies
As if she's come to stay there
But in your life, you never dreamed
You'd find the one who'd know the way there

She'll take you so deep into the night
And promise you'll be satisfied
Like a fool you believe all her lies
Words you'll remember till the end of your life

[Chorus 2x]

The same thing to me, she did the same thing to me
The same thing to me, I know, I know, I know, I know
The same thing to me

Hometown Hero Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Well alright, you put your heart and your soul on the line
You pay the price, you can leave all your dues behind, yeah
You go spinning your wheels, till just one song makes it right
Live your life on the road, now they call you a star overnight
Overnight, overnight, oh no no

[Chorus:]
Gave it all, for it seemed like ages
Lived the life of a rolling stone
Seen the world from a thousand stages
There ain't no feelin', you've ever known
Like when a hometown boy comes home

This guy's a joker, and this is not the key to your found
And there's always somebody, who thinks he makes a living
From putting you down
You're aware of the odds, just forgetting the chance you must take
When you're bound to a vision, there is no decision to make
No no no

[Chorus]

When he comes home
The road is long and you're on your own
But through it all you know your roots run so deep
Out on the rock and roll highway
You make a promise to bring it back home
And that's one promise, you know ya gotta keep

[Chorus]

But it's never gonna feel like
When a hometown boy comes home
He's a hometown hero

Can't Hold On, Can't Let Go Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Every time I think of you
My heart starts movin' like a freight train
And having you is tearing me apart
I don't really need the pain, no

Sometimes I feel like leavin' for good
But I'm a fool who wouldn't leave you
Even if I could

[Chorus:]
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
Can't hold on, can't let go
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
I can't hold on, I can't let go

Every time you touch me, well you know
I feel the blood rushing through my veins
Girl you mean so much to me, that's the reason
Why you're driving me insane

Ooh, every night I'm losin' too much sleep
I can't give up, 'cause now I'm in too deep with you

[Chorus]

I can't live with you, I can't live without you
I still don't know just what I'm going to do about you
Heart to heart, I'd never run away
It's time to part, but I can't say good-bye

I love you so much(can't hold on)
Need you so much(can't let go)
But you're tearing me apart(can't hold on)
oh(can't let go)can't let go
(Can't hold on)can't let go
(Can't let go)oh no no

Fighting For My Life Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Here I am, thinking of you
Things we say and things we do
Doesn't seem long ago
I was holding you so safe and warm

Suddenly my life is changed
And I find myself like a ship in a raging storm
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now

[Chorus:]
Fighting for my life, fighting for my life
I'm back against the wall, fighting for my life
Fighting, fighting for my life

I recall, the days of my youth, my head in the air
My back to the truth
Runnin' from the good things I had
My hunger for a piece of the game

Now I find those days are gone
And I'm hanging' on
I know it can never be the same
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now

Ooh yeah ooh oh yeah, baby ooh oh

I've been at the corner for the longest time
I have gone the distance with the will to survive
I tell you one thing, I can't always be right
Gonna live, gonna live every day like it's the last one I got
I'm fighting to hold on

[Chorus]

Fighting for my life, I'm fighting for my life

Paradise Lyrics – Michael Bolton

The time is right, for the doorway to the open sky
But a moment passing by, we let it slip away
Well we can take the night, to sanctify this burnin'
In an everlasting sight, it's calling us to stay

Here tonight, I can feel the heart of my fantasy
After while, I will reveal the secrets you gave to me
Oh, your love waits so deep for me

[Chorus:]
And it's alright, alright here in paradise
I know it's alright, feels so right here in paradise
It's alright, alright here in paradise
I know it's alright, feels so right here in paradise, yeah

In a world outside, the voice of our insanity
The world in all its' madness, is fading like a memory
I long to hold you now, this love of mine will never die
Till there's no space or time, no distance between you and I

There's a fire in my heart that will burn till I find a way
Here inside we can feel what our words were not meant to say
Our words can't pretend to say

[Chorus]

Here tonight I can feel the heart of my fantasy
After while I'll reveal the secret you gave to me
Why did love wait so deep for me

[Chorus]

Back In My Arms Again Lyrics – Michael Bolton

All day long I hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one I love, I should break away
Those heartaches, you'll bring me one day, oh

I listened to my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights

[Chorus:]
Got you back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got you right back in my arms again
So satisfied

So easy for others to say, that I should let you go
They don't know how strong my love is
But I sure can't get along

It's time I live my life for me
Being happier than I ever knew I'd been
And each time we make romance
I'm thankful for a second chance

[Chorus]

All day long I hear the telephone ring
Friends calling, giving their advice
From the one I love, I should break away
Those heartaches you'll bring me one day

I listened to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
All advice ever brought my way
Were many long and sleepless nights

[Chorus]

Carrie Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Carrie is a girl disillusioned by the world and her crazy man
So she takes her vows and she swears no matter how she'll never fall again
Carrie, who can blame you if you find some kind of refuge in your solitude
But there's gotta come a time when your passion for your freedom makes a slave of you
She said wait, wait, wait

[Chorus:]
Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run, Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside
Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run, Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside

Carrie once again in the company of friends 'Cause she's so alone
Ever so aware of a part of her that no one's ever really known
There will come a day when she'll find a way to fade into the scenery
Carrie are you alive or just going through the motions like you seem to be
She lives in a dream to wait for a dream who waits for tomorrow
She said wait, wait, wait
Now Carrie don't you fight it, no don't even try
'Cause in your heart what's been decided just will not be denied
Am I getting through to you all I wanna do for you, is take you for a ride
Oh Carrie, Carrie, Carrie

[Chorus]

Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run

I Almost Believed You Lyrics – Michael Bolton

You came to me and told me it was over
You assured me you wouldn't need him anymore
But that look upon your face is too familiar
It was long ago, but I've been there before

And this song is like a movie, that we might as well pretend
From the moment as the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed you

If I'd never realized what I was asking for
I'd be confused upon the the presence of your pain
Though your smile cannot disguise the hurt within you
It appears upon the mention of his name

But most of all the strangest thing
It's hard for me to bear
That the words that should be music to my ears

Say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me you loved me
I almost believed it

Sometimes I wish that you'd save that line for someone else
Do you want me to believe what you don't believe yourself
Well let's not talk about it now
In my life I've made mistakes
This is just one chance I'll have to take

So let's carry on with the story
Try and shoot the scene again
As the moment that the camera closes in
Just say it one more time with feeling
One more time like you really mean it
The last time you told me that you loved me

I almost believed you (I almost believed you)
Say it one more time (I almost believed you)
One more time with feeling (I almost believed you)
Almost, I almost believed you
One more time with feeling

"Every Day Of My Life" (1976)

Rocky Mountain Way Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Spent the last year the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Tellin' us this and tellin' us that
Changin' it day by day
He says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Changin' it play by play
It's time to change the batter
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Spent the last year, the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Rocky Mountain way

If I Had Your Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

If I had my way
Fly into the air
You know I would
And if I had my way
Fly without a care
You know I would
And if I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all

If there was a road
Travel down that road
To get to you
If there was a mountain
You know I'd climb that mountain, too
'Cause if I had your love
If I only had your love
There's be no if I had's at all

If I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all
There'd be no if I had's at all
If I had your love
If I only had your love
If I had your love
If I only had your love

It's Just A Feelin' Lyrics – Michael Bolton

It's not the tape this song is recorded on
It's not the way it ought to be done
It's not the words that the singer is singin'
It's not the way the music is played
I know it's nothin' new
'Cause it's all been done before

It's just a feelin' baby
A feelin', oh yeah, a feelin' baby
It's just a feelin'
That's all it's been
That's all it's ever been

It's not the things you say to me
When we're alone and the lights are low
It's not the smile on your face in the morning
Baby, that keeps me comin' home to you at night
Don't understand what it does
But your love comes shinin' through

It's just a feelin', baby
It's a feelin', oh
Oh, a feelin' baby
It's a feelin' that keeps me coming back
I want to tell you right now

Nothing is going to change, baby
When your love, your love comes through
It's just a feelin', baby
A feelin', oh, feelin' baby
Just a feelin' baby, ooh
It's just a feelin', it's just a feelin' baby

You Mean More To Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton

If you need me, know I'll soon be with you
Just call me, I'll give you all the love
I can give you
Didn't you see the look on my face today
You know I'll always be your slave

[Chorus:]
You mean more to me
Than I ever thought anyone would
You mean more to me
Than I ever thought anyone could
And when you look into my eyes
You know I'll love you all my life
Gonna love you all my life

My love for you is filling up my days
You know you shine on me in oh, so many ways
I guess I'm only trying to say
My heart is yours and yours to stay

[Chorus]

These Eyes Lyrics – Michael Bolton

These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin's on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin's on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it

[Chorus:]
These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you
[Repeat x2]

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend

[Chorus x2]

These eyes, cry every night for you
These eyes

Your Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Oh will someone tell me
What it is I feel
Whatever it is
I know it can't be real
'Cause your love
Is turning me around
I know I'm lost
But I don't wanna be found

Oh, no, I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love

If I was wise, I'd be on my way
I wanna leave, but I know
I'm gonna stay
'Cause your love is making me lazy
Come on inside, darlin'
Drive me crazy

Oh, no, I don't believe it
I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love

Is it right, baby, is it wrong
All I know is what I've been hearing so long
I got this feeling and it's much too strong
Baby, it's much too strong
Much too strong

You're everything I ever would need
But what are you doing mama, let me be
'Cause your love is burning like fire
You are my one and only desire

Oh, I don't believe it, I don't believe it
I said, I don't believe in love
Oh, 'cause your love is much too strong
'Cause your love is much too strong

I don't believe it, I don't believe in love
I don't believe it, just don't believe in love

Give Me A Reason Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Just give me a reason for loving you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know, can you tell me it's true
I should love you the way I do

(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know
(I don't know why I love you like I do)

Well you know I've been hurt
And you made me feel like a fool
And you told me things
That you know you didn't mean
I'll let you in on it, I love you so madly
I don't know why I love you the way I do

(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Oh, I don't know why I love you like I do
(I don't know why I love you like I do)

Oh, I know sometimes you treat me so cold
Baby, oh it hurts me down inside
But one of these days I'm gonna
Let you down so hard
You're gonna sit and wonder

Give me a reason why I love you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know
Can you tell me it's true
'Cause I love you the way I do

I don't know why I love you like I do
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know why
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Gimme a reason
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Oh, just give me a reason
(I don't know why I love you like I do)

Dream While You Can Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Dream little child, dream while you can
Dream my child, dream while you can
Of everything that I would dream
If I had the time, dream while you can

And fly little child, fly while you can
Fly my child, away while you can
Far out places and new born lands
Fly while you can

And be little child, be while you can
Be my child, free while you can
Anything that you wanna be
Well, it's in your hands
Be while you can

Dream little child, dream while you can
Dream my child, dream while you can
Of everything that I would dream
If I had the time, but dream while you can

Dream while you can
Fly away while you can
Be free while you can
Dream while you can, dream away
Dream away while you can

Fly away, fly away
While you can
Be free, be free
While you still can

Ooh, dream while you can
Fly away, dream while you can

Tell Me How You Feel Lyrics – Michael Bolton

If there's anything on your mind, I'm open
It there's anything in your heart, honey, I'm open
But how can I ever be a man
If you won't open up and let me understand
Oh oh oh oh yeah

[Chorus:]
Come on and tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
If this love is gonna be real
You gotta let your feeling show

If your backs against the wall, I'm open
If you're climbing high and you fall, I'm open
Now if you need me to understand
You know I can't unless you let me in
Oh oh oh oh yeah

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been honest with you
There's nothing more I wanna do
I just wanna give you my love
I only wanna give you my love
Yeah, take it baby, oh oh

Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
Tell me how you feel, baby
I really gotta know
Tell me how you feel, baby
Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
I really wanna know

Don't understand what it does
But your love comes shinin' through

It's just a feelin', baby
It's a feelin', oh
Oh, a feelin' baby
It's a feelin' that keeps me coming back
I want to tell you right now

Nothing is going to change, baby
When your love, your love comes through
It's just a feelin', baby
A feelin', oh, feelin' baby
Just a feelin' baby, ooh

Everybody Needs A Reason Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Everybody needs a reason
To make it through another day
And everybody needs a reason
Try and find another way

I've been up, I've been down
Seemed like one long, lonely ride
Wish I'd been usin', time I could be usin'
To learn about myself inside
That's not a hard thing to do

Everybody needs a reason
Doesn't matter who they are
And everybody needs a reason
To make it to the shootin' star

So many people, don't understand
Never live, but waiting to die
I wish I could reach them
I really wanna teach them
Something so good going on inside

Maybe they don't like it, maybe they do
This is the way, it's all coming true
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
Maybe things are changin'
I really don't know
Knowing things is helping to grow

Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
[Repeat x3]

You're No Good Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are

[Chorus:]
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I'm gonna tell you again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good

I broke her heart, gentle and true
I broke her heart, over someone like you
I'll beg forgiveness, on bended knee
But I won't blame her, if she says to me

[Chorus]

I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
I'm on my way

[Chorus]

You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good

Baby, oh baby, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good

Time Is On My Side Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you'll come runnin' back
That you'll come runnin back
You'll come runnin' back to me

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is, baby
'Cause you always said
That you want to be free
But you'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to me, to me

And do anything that you wanna do
And I told ya, ya know I told ya so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
You're gonna come back
Knockin' at my door

You'll come runnin' back to me, to me, to me

Oh, time is on my side
You know it is
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Take Me As I Am Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Woman, you don't understand
Oh, I'm just a man
Baby, that's all I am
That's all I have ever been
And you, you don't understand
Oh, I've gotta live

You make it so hard to do

Lost In The City Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Lost in the city
I'm movin' around
To the sound of the song
I've been...living

High altitudes mixed
With wrong attitudes
Make me wonder
Just what I've been...giving
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I belong

Ooh ooh
Love can open the door
Through these eyes I see
And love has opened this heart
For me

See you, I see you fly high
All above all of this
Makes me miss home
And the freedom

I've known for so long
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Ooh ooh

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes Lyrics – Michael Bolton

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams and some day
Your rainbow will come shinin' through

No matter how your heart if grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin' through

No matter how your heart is grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true

A Love So Beautiful Lyrics – Michael Bolton

The summer sun went down on
Our love long ago
But in my heart I feel the same
Old afterglow

A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

We were too young to understand
To ever know
That lovers drift apart
And that's the way love goes

A love so beautiful
A love so free
A love so beautiful

A love for you and me
And when I think of you
I fall in love again

A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

And when I think of you
I fall in love again

A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

Can I Touch You There Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Baby, show me what you feel
Come to me, show me somethin' real
I need to know, I need you completely
Closer baby closer, come on let's begin
Love is takin' over, gotta let it in
Ooh I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you

[Chorus:]
Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside
Can I touch your heart, the way you're touchin' mine
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within
Can I touch you there, can I touch you... there

Baby tell me with your eyes, tell me every secret darlin'
Every deep desire, till you and I are makin' love completely
Closer baby closer, can't be close enough
I can't help the way I hold you
I just hunger for your love
Ooh and I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is touch ya baby
Touch the very soul inside of you
Ooh and I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you
Let me be the one to show you just what love can do

Don't Make Me Wait For Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Sitting here just staring at your picture
Waiting for your call
So unclear, I'm hanging on a notion
We could have it all

Time and time again you tell me to be patient
But we can't let love slip away

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Ooh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

Hmm, I close the blinds and try to hide the darkness
Fall asleep alone
Give me a sign, a man ain't supposed to face life
Standing on his own

When you're near me I can't help but see forever
Come and rescue me tonight

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Can't you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, yeah
Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Don't make me wait for love

Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't make me wait for love this time, oh
Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find
Can't you see I need your love, I need you

Baby, don't make me wait for love this time
Oh, oh, darlin', a love like this is hard to find, ooh, baby
Baby, don't make me wait for love this time, I need you, baby
I love you, I need you, I want you, baby

Fool For Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton (feat. Johnny Hallyday)

[Johnny:]
I'm coming out with my angel,
Put down your guns and I'll...confess.
I loved her more than life itself,
My angel in a pale blue dress.
But if you want to shoot, then shoot,
I'd welcome an eternal sleep.
No man has ever felt a love,
So deep.

[Michael:]
I took her life, her tender life,
I couldn't bear to think that she,
Could laugh and love and give herself,
To any other man than me.
So if my world would end tonight,
I will not cry...I do not care.
I'll meet her in another life,
Somewhere.

[Chorus]
[Johnny and Michael:]
I was a fool, a fool for love,
A fool who believed, that she came from above.
I'll stay a fool, until I die,
She was my world, my breath, my sky.
I'm just a fool, who lost all control,
Along with my soul.
In time the fool, becomes a clown,
And you all laugh, as I fall down.

[Michael:]
I'll never be at peace again,
I'll never feel her warm caress,
I'll leave each day just thinking of,
My angel in a pale blue dress.

[Johnny:]
And when her body's in the ground,
Make sure you save a space for me,
For that's the only place, I long to be.

[Chorus]

Forever Eyes Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And I was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when I thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......

[Chorus:]
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now I find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'Cause I only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes

There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what I feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....

[Chorus]

Forever eyes

[Chorus]

I Found Someone Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Don't you know, so many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder,
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby

[Chorus:]
I found someone, to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes, I could never bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
Show ya the feelins' that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me but ya don't believe
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby

[Chorus]

Too long on the borderline
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
That's when I realized, and I realized

[Chorus]

And baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Jailhouse Rock Lyrics – Michael Bolton

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

I Promise You Lyrics – Michael Bolton

I will promise you, yes I promise to
Love you for all your life
Love you every day and night
I will always be there for you
I'll be in your arms, you'll be in my heart

[Chorus:]
I'll love you forever, I promise you
We'll be together, our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I wouldn't do
With all of my heart, I promise you

I will take your hand, and I'll understand
Share all your hopes and dreams
Show you what love can mean
Whenever life just gets too much for you
I'll be on your side, to dry the tears you cry

[Chorus]

Oh I will always be in your arms
And you will always be the flame
within my heart

[Chorus]

There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
I promise you

I'm Not Ready Lyrics – Michael Bolton (feat. Delta Goodrem)

I am broken
There’s a stranger on the phone
Somethings missing,
From seven years ago
You tell me baby don’t you cry anymore
That’s the past and not what we’ve become
But I know

I am shaking
Not a breath left to breathe
All this sadness so cold
That I can’t speak

[Pre]
Look me in the eyes,
You know it’s okay we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you

My bags are all packed
Waiting at the door
Its hard to imagine
I wont live here anymore

I’m scared of tomorrow
And the emptiness to come
But I’ve changed for the better
Since I’ve known your love

[Pre]
Look me in the eyes,
You know it’s okay we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you
(I’m not ready)

[Bridge]
And even if we tried
We would end up right back at this place together
This was not a lie
And what we had will always be a real love forever

[Chorus]
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
I’m not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I’ve tried
And if it’s over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never going to be
I’ll never be ready
To say goodbye to you
I’ll never be ready

Love Shouldn't Hurt Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Born in pure innocence
Born without the fear
She says "Mommy what did I do wrong,
To make you cry your angry tears?"
Feeling dirty and ashamed
Keeps making up excuses
She's learned how to hide the pain
But she can't hide the bruises anymore
There's no light behind her eyes
She's tryin to find love in a stranger's touch
14 years old and so alone
Desperate for what she needs so much
She cries herself to sleep at night
And prays she won't wake up...

[Chorus:]
Love shouldn't hurt
Love shouldn't scar
But sometimes we can be so blind
To the way things really are
Love can be so unkind
Truth is that hearts get broken everyday
But love should never ever hurt this way....

Children having children and growing up too fast
If you've never been shown lvoe
How can you give love back?
Her newborn baby's cryin'
It's more than she can stand
She doesn't see the tragedy
When she raises her own hand
There's no light behind her eyes
She doesn't realize what she has done
Didn't think she was being so rough
Little one won't you please wake up?.....

[Chorus 2x]

But love should never ever hurt this way

Once In A Lifetime Lyrics – Michael Bolton

People fill their lives, with empty nights,
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time, but never find,
The open arms of fate
One moment comes along, someone who's a dream to you,
All at once your dreams come true

[Chorus:]
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime

Some people live their lives in compromise,
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance, within their hands,
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need, to hold the hand of destiny,
Find the love that's meant to be

[Chorus]

If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart, when that moment comes along
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading you home to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime, Just once in a lifetime

One More Time Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Don't look back
Don't be scared
We've got dreams and we're still young
Just think about how far we've come
Think of all
We have shared
It's a wonder we survive
But here we are and we're alive!
Can we hold on, hold on?
Take a moment to celebrate
Now before we are gone
Take a moment to celebrate
There's music in the wind
Let's dance one more time
There's a rhythm deep within
Let's dance one more time

One more time
Sing the song
There's a power in our voices
Hopeful and strong

Years from now
Somewhere down the line
We'll remember and we'll all sing
One more time

[Zulu Chant:]
See cel la bo lay la

Our Love Is Like A Holiday Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Oh yeah
Our love is like a holiday

I know that I let you down in the past
Cause I've got so many places to go
Girl I promise I'll be around give me a chance
Cause I'm singing for you wherever it show

(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I've been so deep
(How can I)
It's hard to believe
This world brought you to me
(Brought you to me)

I've been to Paris, London, LA
I feel the tropical sun in my face
This Christmas we don't need to get away
Cause our love is like a holiday

I'm always calling from a different hotel room
And your voice makes me feel like home
Backstreet I'm waiting just thinking of you, of you
Just lying there sleeping alone

(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I feel you creep into my every dream
I'm coming back on Christmas Eve (on Christmas Eve)

Girl I know you've been waiting for me for much too long
I thank you girl for holding on
Believe me when I tell you there's just one place I know I belong
Girl that's why I loved you to soul

The Spirit Of American Lyrics – Michael Bolton

The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It stretches out across the hills and streams, over every mountain high,
And turns the prairies into fields of dreams
When you reach for lofty places,when you soar through open spaces,
what your heart and soul embraces in the sky.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
(Something special in the air).
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
That's where freedom flies.

This River Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Oh this river, oh this river runs
Can't take my heart away from you
You are in my soul
Can't tame this love I feel for you
Can't escape what is meant to be
It's endless as the heavens
It's timeless and it's strong
It's faithful as an angel
It's right there right or wrong
There's no end to this emotion
It goes on and on

[Chorus:]
This river runs, this river runs so true
This river runs, this river runs to you
This river's deep as the ocean
Runs on blind emotion
This river runs, oh yeah

You're every beat within my heart
You are in my blood
Nothing could keep me from your arms
Where you are is where I'll always be
As long as there are mountains
And stars still fill the sky
As long as there's forever
I'm right here by your side
There's no end to this emotion
Till the end of time

[Chorus]

This river runs, oh so deep within my soul
And it flows forever
And for the rest of all time
Always be there

[Chorus]

Voices That Care Lyrics – Michael Bolton

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange

I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
But I won't turn my back again
You're only around the bend
So hurry home till then...till then

[Chorus:]
Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Hurry home

I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before

Just can't let ya feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We send it out to you
(Michaels' solo)
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way

We pray, to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
Right or wrong
We're all prayin' you remain strong
That's why we're all here and singin' along

Voices that care are cryin' out loud, yeah
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

You are the voice, you are the light

Stand tall, stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
They're crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
Ooh, and when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

You Are My Sunshine lyrics - michael bolton

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

[Chorus:]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

[Chorus]

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:

[Chorus]
