It’s no use sittin’ with your head in your hands When the wolves come around we can make a stand Light a fire to keep ‘em at bay Hold you tight ‘til they run away And they say flowers don’t grow where the sun don’t shine But you can see the most stars in the darkest night When the clouds roll in don’t be afraid I’m gonna dance with you even when it rains I’m gonna dance with you even when it rains And when the waves crash down on your shipwrecked heart I’m your lighthouse in the dark Raise that anchor just for you It’s what I’ve done and I’ll always do And they say flowers don’t grow where the sun don’t shine But you can see the most stars in the darkest night When the clouds roll in don’t be afraid I’m gonna dance with you even when it rains I’m gonna dance with you even when it rains

Most of my days I’ve been slipping through time In finding my way I’ve been nickel and dimed Made some good friends left some old ones behind And my heart it aches, it aches. I’ve learned how to run and I’ve learned how to fall Gambled with love and I’ve lost it all Been down on my knees with my back to the wall And my heart it aches it aches. I pick up my bags and head down the road again And this time I don’t think I’ll be coming back too soon my friend. ‘Cause all of my life I’ve been searching for gold Been playing my cards and I never fold. But sometimes I feel like I’m all on my own. And my heart it aches, it aches. Loh Doh diddy doh doh doh Loh Doh diddy doh doh doh I pick up my bags and head down the road again And this time I don’t think I’ll be coming back too soon my friend. ‘Cause most of my days I’ve been searching for proof Been counting my stars without much to lose But all I could find is the sky and the truth. And my heart it aches, it aches.

Hey, tell me you’ll be waiting for me at my door. Babe, I’ve waited so long and I can’t wait anymore. You got love and a fever, Praying that the sun won’t rise. You got me and honey I won’t leave your side. We’ll be all right, So come over tonight. Take, take my heart and don’t you give it away. Babe, I wanna hold you every night and day. You got love and a fever, Praying that the sun won’t rise. You got me and baby I won’t leave your side. We’ll be all right, So come over tonight. You look good standing in that light All this time and it feels just like it should It feels good. Hey, tell me you’ll be waiting for me at my door. Babe, I’ve waited so long and I can’t wait anymore. You got love and a fever, Praying that the sun won’t rise. You got me and honey I won’t leave your side. We’ll be all right, So come over tonight.

Gravity 03:07
Running with my head up in the stars, Sometimes it’s hard to feel my feet on the ground. And If I sail away above the clouds, Tell me how will I find my way down? Stars will fade like those old street lamps While the dreams we made drift out in the sand. But without your love how will I stay standing? You’re my gravity. Like those kings of old I built these walls around me. You know it took some time to get inside my heart. But darling in the moment that you found me, I knew you’d be the one to tear these walls apart. Whispered words ringing down the hall In your whispered words I can hear it all. And in your arms I wanna keep on falling. You’re my gravity. You’re my gravity. Stars will fade like those old street lamps While the dreams we made drift out in the sand. But without your love how will I stay standing? You’re my gravity. You’re my gravity. You’re my gravity.

Night Affair 02:50
The lights are coming up on the edge of town and baby I get the feeling the way you knock me down Your eyes reflecting neon signs of love, sweet love. And now we’re dancing in the middle of a burning room And it’s a wonder that I’ve waited all my life for you Am I the one that you’ve been dreaming of, my love? Won’t you say that you love me Say that you care Tell me that this could be something More than just a night affair And it’s the music in the moment it’s the same old song Possibilities aligning at the break of dawn The way you pull your hair back when you smile, my my. And it’s the rhythm when you’re moving it’s the bells on your shoes And baby I may be crazy but I believe in you And I’ve been looking for you all my life, my life So won’t you say that you love me Say that you care Tell me that this could be something More than just a night affair ‘Cause when the night is dust and all our dreams wake up I hope you’ll be my spark and set a fire to my heart ‘Cause If I lost your love then honey I might rust You’re my fire, you’re my spark. Say that you love me Say that you care Tell me that this could be something More than just a night affair

We’ve got the world tonight No way that I could plan this And you’ve got that candle light It’s hard to believe I’m standing Here in your arms right where I’m meant to be If you only knew how much it means to me When you believe in us We had to read the signs It’s funny how love takes chances But this never felt so right Was it more than luck I landed Here in your arms right where I’m meant to be If you only knew how much it means to me When you believe in us. And I wanna thank you darling from the bottom of my heart For holding me together right before I fell apart I waited my whole life baby still you made it right on time How lucky I am to have a love so blind And sometimes I’m a fool, more than I mean to be But I’m just trying to show you how much it means to me When you believe When you believe in you and me When you believe in us.
